From the area the ship went, we couldn't see anything and suddenly a blast was seen in the distance. We were all a bit confused and suddenly, we saw the sand rising in the distance and we were shot back a few feet. It was the blast radius from whatever explosion had just went on. Phil pulled out a device and began speaking into it. "Recon 412, are you there? Do you copy? Recon 412! Answer me!" Phil kept on screaming into it and his face was becoming purple like he was losing air. His face then became red and he started sweating and it became a point where we couldn't tell if we were seeing sweat or tears.
From at that moment, we all felt broken inside. People looked up to the outer edge of the skies and wept. Soon, in the distance, we saw another ship heading our way. It wasn't the one that had just taken off, it was a ship sent from ECO SEC.
"Get inside now!" Phil shouted to everyone around. 304 and I looked at each other and we knew it was the real deal. They knew we escaped and they were coming to either capture us, or kill us. But one thing we didn't know was how they even managed to find us. Phil opened the hatch and a ton of people rushed down into the lower levels below the sands including 304 and I. Once everyone was in, Phil shut the hatched and joined us. We began whispering between the three of us.
I started and asked, "Has this ever happened?"
Phil shook his head and by the looks on his face, it seemed like he wanted to rip out his hair, he was so stressed. Because at any moment, this whole work, this whole process and all the progress he put into this was all going to be meaningless in about a few seconds. The ship got closer and real soon, it landed right above us.
"This is impossible. ECO SEC is miles away from here. And our supply ship has equipment in it so it can't be picked up by radar. It's impossible they knew we were here." Phil whispered to us.
"So how did they find us? What are the possibilities?" 304 asked Phil quietly.
He responded, "It must have been an inside job. Someone we know told them we were here. I don't know how or who, but when I find the bastard, he's going to pay." Phil said and then shut up when he heard footsteps on the metal hatch not even ten feet above us. We were all shaking at the thought of going back to such a horrible place. Some luck huh? We get here and all of a sudden they find us. It just doesn't seem like anything good can ever happen to us.
Suddenly I saw a bright light and scrap metal pieces flying everywhere. We were blown back in an instant. They had places bombs on the front entrance and blown them. I was thrown back and rolled onto the floor below. 304 was sent in the other direction and hit his head against a brick wall and was knocked out onto the ground. I had no idea where Phil was. My vision was all distorted and I could barely hear. Ringing was in my ears from the explosion and all I wanted to do was to get to safety. I picked myself up and ran down the stairs to the main floor where everyone usually was. I saw more of our men fighting back, with their own guns shooting back. Someone shouted my name from behind me, I looked to see Phil throwing me an assault rifle. I had never used a gun in my life, but I suppose it was time to use one. I aimed and pulled the trigger. There was huge kick but I put up with it and screamed through the pain of it hitting my shoulder through every shot.
I tried to take a glimpse at 304 but he was gone and I had no idea where he was. I kept shooting but there were thousands of them piling in through the front hatch. There were cornering us. If I was going back to that place, I needed something. The posion! I ran to the bedrooms and looked under the bed I was sleeping on. No poison. Suddenly my adrenaline shot up and I was so confused. I was panicking. I started flipping beds and screaming over and over. Someone else took it, it was gone! I ran back out of the room and saw hundreds of people dead all over the floor, blood soaked the ground and there were still more coming. When will it end? I saw one of the guards come in with a huge gun he was carrying over his shoulder, he was all armored up. We all tried to shoot him but nothing was happening.
He aimed the gun and shot. All these hand sized balls shot out in different directions. And everyone stopped to look at them. I had never seen it before, and suddenly the balls landed and started spinning and suddenly a loud screech was heard and all the balls shot out little needles that stabbed into basically everyone. Sending them right to sleep. I tried to run and get out of sight from them but on my way, one caught me in the back of the leg and suddenly I couldn't see. Then everything was black.
When I first saw the blackness, I had no doubt that I was about to wake up on that ship heading back to ECO SEC.
