Chapter Seven:

Hoshi and Ben walked into the house. Bronwyn sat up. She bolted right for Hoshi. She hugged him tightly. Hoshi blushed. "Ma." he groaned. She kissed his cheek. "Hush." she nuzzled him gently. He pulled out of her grasp after a while. He scratched behind his head. Elvis looked up from his pillow. Sam and Annu were cuddling close together. Sam's arms were wrapped around Annu's small skinny body protectively. She had a special place in his heart. The two had gotten attached to each other after having been together for about a week. With Sam not having a proper home for Annu to live the two were together constantly. Sam had taken Annu down to the beach side. "So this is what humans call a beach?" she asked. He nods. "Don't you have beaches where you live?" She shakes her head. "No on my planet however we did live near creeks and rivers. We lived in small village communities." She smiled. "It was nice living there. Then all of it changed when the Ero attacked. They reduced my planet to nothing but rubble. They drained it of all the resources. They then burned the forest where my people lived." she seemed sad. "We couldn't stop it no matter how hard we tried." She went quiet for awhile. "Well you'll be safe here with us." Sam took her hand. She smiled. "You sure want to help me huh?" she asked. He nodded. She laughed. "Your an interesting human I'll give you that much." The both of them walked in silence for awhile. She looked back up at him. My people were right to send me here. I may have just found the person who will help bring an end to the Ero. She thought. Elvis ran up to them. "Sam!" he yelled. Sam paused. He turned around. "What is it Elvis?" he questioned. "I've got some good news. The Floods have been found alive in PontyPandy. A soldier by the name of Marcelo saved them. They'll be coming here soon." Sam smiled. "That's excellent news Elvis."

Marcelo stood guard at the garage door. Crimson moaned quietly when Helen applied a wet towel to his feverish forehead. Helen sighed. "How long before help arrives?" Marcelo looked down at his notepad. "They said it could take a couple of hours. They have to find a way around the forcefield." She nods. "Good news we'll have enough supplies to last for now." Marcelo got up. "I'm going out on patrol to see if I can find anything useful." He loaded up his gun. "Try Dilys Cut Price Supermarket. There should be tons of inventory there." He nodded. He walked away from the fire station. The air smelled heavily of radiation. Papers rolled across the ground. He made his way through the town ducking into the shadows to avoid being detected by the Ero. He snuck behind the cover of a wall. He heard clicking noises coming from behind it. He lowered his heat vision goggles to get a clear picture of what was behind the wall. He could make out the reddish orange shape of a two-legged creature. It's tail stretched out long behind it curling at the tip. It had a weapon clutched in its claws. He slowed his pace a bit. The creature paid no mind to him. Marcelo slowly darted across the street taking shelter in an alleyway. The Ero didn't move from it's spot. Marcelo pulled out his knife. He dodge rolled behind it. He plunged his knife it's neck. It let out a screech before dying. He dragged the body hiding it behind the fence. He patted the creature down. He ripped the gun from it's claws. He also yanked the sword off of it's belt. He noticed that the sword didn't have a blade up until he pressed a button. A bluish-white energy sword appeared. "Sweet." he sheathed the sword putting it on his belt. He then found a chip that sat on the back of the alien's helmet. He yanked it out putting it in his pouch. He checked his corners as he continued his walk. There was a small patrol down the street. He took aim. He began firing at them. The Ero turned around. One of them let out a horrible screech before rushing at him. It's armor glew giving it a boost. Marcelo had enough time to evade away from it. He managed to land a headshot on it. Another Ero teleported in front of him. He pulled out the sword lighting it. He plunged it into the Ero's chest yanking it out. Another Ero ganged up on him. He dodged its attack. He sliced off it's arm. It howled in pain. It waved its claws slapping Marcelo aside. Marcelo caught his balance. He aimed down his sights firing at the Ero who evaded the incoming bullets. It teleported in the air above him with it's sword in its claws. Marcelo blocked the blade with his own. He grunted as he kept the blade up in the air. He pulled out his knife stabbing it into the Ero's throat. The Ero howled in pain shaking Marcelo off. It held it's neck growling at Marcelo. Marcelo charged at the Ero. The Ero raised its sword again. A yellow blur got between them. It's fangs went into the Ero's throat. Marcelo heard the yellow blur growling as it swung its body knocking the Ero off of it's feet. The Ero soon stilled. The dog let go of it spitting out the bit of skin it had in it's mouth. The dog looked at Marcelo. "You okay?" it asked. Marcelo blinked. He shook his head to see a blonde haired boy standing in front of him instead. "Yeah I'm fine. Just a few scratches." The boy smiled. "You're a soldier right? I can tell by your weapons and armor." Marcelo nodded. He shook hands with the boy. "Marcelo." The boy shook his hand firmly. "Winter. I know where you can get supplies." Winter motioned for him to follow. "This way."

Winter lead him to the supermarket that was located in the center of town. Luckily the building wasn't too damaged. Most of the inventory managed to stay intact. Marcelo busted down the door. He took food, water, as well as medical supplies and tossed them into a bag. He grabbed some batteries too as well as flashlights and firewood. Winter waited for him. "Now what's the quickest way out of here?" Winter pulled out a map and pointed to a long alleyway located right across from the supermarket. "Great now let's go."

I'm sorry the chapter was so short. It's a thousand words off from where I would normally end the story. I'm thankful for those who do read and am proud to say that the story now has 163 views! Wow and it's only been a week! I'm glad people seem to be tuning into the story.

I probably will not update much in the coming weeks. A friend of mine has gotten me Fallout: New Vegas so there goes my social life but rest assured you guys will get another chapter.
