The Last Human

6.

Allen POV

As I stood there I counted how many there were. "You have to the count of five." the captain stated. Right when she went to count down Rita came out of the house.

"Rita you okay?" one of the other soldiers ask. I can only assume that they're a couple. She walked past him charging at me with rage in her eyes. She threw a haymaker, and it connected knocking me down. Though she was far from done cause she pinned me down. A hail of punches connected each one solidifying my choice.

"That is enough Rita stand down." a voice ordered. From my position I couldn't see who it was.

"Sargent he nearly blew my head off. If I hadn't told him we would arrest the civilians I would be dead!" Rita barked back. I chuckle at my own joke pissing her off more.

"Even so if he hadn't taken out the enemy I wouldn't be here. So I think you should let him up, and not try cave his face in." the sargent states.

When Rita got off of me I used all the strength I had left, and kicked her knee sideways. I then wrapped my legs around her waist, and twisted. This shifted our positions so i am now on top. I delivered a storm of elbows, and fists to her face.

"If your kind hadn't come to our world my brother would still be alive. Your kind slaughtered entire cities, and sparing none. What makes me special HUH." I spot out. I didn't hear anyone approach, but I did feel the butt of a rifle then nothing.

CPT Danden POV

Anna just knocked out the human before he could hurt Rita to much. "What the fuck was that?" I ask my team.

"Excuse me ma'am I might have an idea." a shaky voice behind says. I turn around seeing the daughter approach me. She holds out a worn looking journal.

"Read this it will explain some of what he's feeling." she said. I turned to her father who was standing unflinchingly.

"Your ex military are you not?" I asked. At his nod I inquired his rank since he couldn't be a low rank. He holds himself with an air of authority.

"Colonel Greenwaters at your service ma'am." he stated with pride.

"Good then you know standard debrief procedure. I want you to fill me in on what happened before we got here." I order. He nods his head in confirmation.

I turn to my unit "secure a perimeter, and keep an eye on the human." I order. I lead the colonel to the house to learn as much as I can on this human.

Rita POV

That fucking human can throw a punch my nose can vouch for that. I check my shotgun to make sure that filthy human didn't damage it. Dom walks up to me clearing his throat to let me know he's there.

"Honey you good, or should I break that humans nose when he wakes." he jokes. I turn to him wrapping my arms around his chest.

"I was scared Dom, but not of him. It was not the human it was I might not get to see you again." I break down. His arms wrap tightly around me holding me to his chest.

"It's ok your here now that's all that matters to me." he reassures me.

Anna POV

I watch Rita breakdown, and cry into Dom's chest. I think back to just a few minutes ago when I was under fire.

Just a few minutes ago

After popping a scaly's head I have duck behind the tree. Bullets riddle my cover in just a few minutes there won't be any cover. I then here a wood door creak open, and the gunfire stops. Peaking out I spot a smoke grenade stop at the leaders feet.

In a matter of seconds three pistolshots ring out. The smoke begins to clear I hear more gunfire ring out, but of a rifle not a pistol. Just when I could see the human he executed the last scaly.

Present

I head over to the human to make sure he's secured. He's still unconscious I didn't mean to hit him that hard. I bind his hands behind his back with paracord.

I then go over to Rita, and Dom clearing my throat. "Rita what happened when you went into the house?" I question.

"Well ma'am when I got through the door he hit me with a chair. I fell to the floor giving him ample time to pick up my shotgun. He had me sit in a chair then contacted captain. After that he told me he was the one to slaughter our squads a couple years ago. He claims to be the one we call the ashy predator." she finishes.

"Well either way we need to figure out what might have happened, to the rest of the humans. As much as we are to blame for them losing millions. We did not do all the work, but we didn't help either." I state.

"Sarge are you saying there's another player on the field?" Dom asks.

"Just go to the back of the house Dom. The soldiers back there are not ours. They were reptilian, and hostile to us, and the human." I tell him.

"Sarge how do you know they're hostile?" Rita questions.

"If they were with us they wouldn't have been trying to silently get to the house. With no chatter about another squad aiding us I made a decision. One that may have saved the human, and us." I finish. Just then the captain comes out of the house, and the human was waking up.

A/N: Hey guys sorry for the long gap in chapters. I just wasn't in the right zone to write. It felt like I wouldn't have made it true the characters. Let me know what you think of the story so far. I read all comments so let me know. :)
