Hah, what a horrible thing that is writer's block… anyway, here's the next chapter. Hope it's good enough for two months of work…

Chapter 1To Help an Ally

"Sam." Sami walked across the room to Nell.
"Yes?"
"I need you to lead a group to Green Earth with supplies. They're beat down badly over there, they need all the help they can get." Sami nodded.
"I'll head out immediately."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Darn it!" Sami looked around at the rest of the marines in the forest. "C'mon everyone! Stay tough! We'll make it out!" She had to keep their hopes up, even if she was unsure whether they actually would survive or not.
"Ma'am, we've received a communiqué from the enemy! They ask us to surrender! What's our response?" Sami gritted her teeth. How dare they ask her to surrender!
"Here's my reply. Take it down…word for word."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sir, Black Hole has asked that Orange Star surrender!" Eagle paused and looked at the soldier.
"Hm, as I recall, Sami's commanding them." He sighed. "Well, what was the reply?"
"Well, she, uh, turned them down flat." Eagle looked at him. There was more to this than what the soldier was telling him.
"What did she say-exactly?"
"Um, I'd rather not say, sir…" The soldier looked at the face of his commander. "But, um, how about I write it down on paper and you can read that?" Eagle nodded and the soldier hurriedly wrote the reply down. After he was done, he handed the note to Eagle. Eagle read it. It made him laugh.
"She's certainly outspoken! As always…"
"Sir?" He looked up from the note.
"Get everyone ready for combat! We'll go save Orange Star!" Eagle's voice boomed through the small room.

Sami looked up as the transport copter hovered over head. She smiled.
"Green Earth. They're here." She looked back down at her troops. "Alright everyone! In that chopper, now!" She strained her voice to be heard over the copter. She waited at the bottom of the ladder that fell from the copter as the rest of her grunts climbed up it.
After the final marine had started up the ladder, Sami started up herself. Just as she was about to climb up into the copter a stray anti-air bullet whizzed by and cut the rope right about her hand. A hand pulled out of the copter and caught her before she had a death fall back to earth. She tried, along with the person the hand was attached to, get into the copter. But before she could be pulled to safety, another stray bullet grazed her shoulder. The force from the bullet sent her and the person inside the copter flying out. They fell and hit the earth hard. They continued to roll down a steep hill. They landed at the bottom, but Sami continued to roll for a couple more feet.
