   Mark takes the pike and takes off the fallen soldier's head. Using it as a weapon to impale a Xoth, the enemy scream in agonizing pain. The guy stuck in the bear trap, being tended by one of the last remaining soldiers behind a bush. Their ambush was thought to be successful, what they didn't count on however was Mark being there.  The Cloakers would take out arm blades, charging at him. His expression went one of sorrow to one of pure rage. He charged at them, tackling one of them and snapping its arm, the bone popping out. He then stomped its head in in a blind rage. The other cloakers watch in awe as their comrade was being brutally executed by this barbarian. After the first ones death, he looked back at the others, he's not done yet. Only four Xoth Cloakers still remain. 

   One of them throws a dagger at Mark, the blade going into his right thigh. He grunts in pain, the Cloaker then punches him repeatedly, eventually taking out its arm blade. As the Cloaker takes this chance to try and finish him off, one of the soldiers shoots it in the back, the laser going through its stomach. Its inside spill everywhere, killing it instantly, it falls to the ground as one of the other Cloakers takes notice of the two soldiers in the bushes.

   The unwounded soldier stands up aiming his rifle at his opponent. It strikes first however, disarming him. Before it can shoot him, it notices that the other two Cloakers have already dropped dead. it looks at Mark and notices he hasn't moved, even he is surprised and confused. Derk drops from a tree branch and lands on the last Cloaker, breaking some of its ribs. It screeches in pain and Derk aims his plasma rifle at its head and shooting without hesitation.
