ANNIHILATION CONQUEST 3

Chapter 6

"I got here when the ground flipped, basically the surface and the underground swapped place, pretty violently" She looked up at my confused expression "We're underground right now"
"Wait, if we're underground..." She looks up from the fiery ground, now it was her wearing the confused expression.
"What, its a fiery wasteland, you expecting to find something?"
"Exactly!" I pace up and down, my fingers pressed to my scuffed up face, I climb the rock my eyes were fixed on. "When they broke me out of the building those brutes were holding me in, they took me down, to this massive gaping hole, a whole city, buzzing with people, just like us, we could go-"
"They're dead. James" She lays a hand on my shoulder "The force, they were right in the middle of it all, there's now way they could have-" I shrink down, placing my head in my hands. She sits down next to me, resting her cheek on my shoulder. "I want all this to be over" She bites at her fingers "I want to go home"

The sudden scream wakes me from my hour nap I took, using the hot orange rocks as pillows. The girl shakes my shoulder. "JAMES!!!" she points in to the distance. My vision is slowly fading back. I look in the direction she points her bony finger in, and I squint, at the sight of a figure. I gasp, jump up to my feet and run as fast as I can. I recognise, the leather jacket, the shorts, the red skin... 
Ray's hand reaches out for me, his face drenched in blood that streamed from his nose, eyes and mouth, his body half coated in horrid red. Just as he begins to fall, I jump forward and grab him. 
"James! James, they're all dead, I..." I held him closer, just for more comfort, when I feel a sinking feeling in my hand, I look to where my right hand is, and I suddenly pull it back, at the sight of thick red blood. I push him away, when realising the massive hole that went straight through his chest. He's on his knees, panting, gasping, before his face hits the floor, and the blood slowly trickles over the ground. How I didn't realise this at first, I don't know. But I look up, and see the massive mech, who was retracting a massive blade with a long chain back into his metal arm. He had one foot in the massive portal formed behind him, where it showed a destroyed land, with fire raging everywhere. Its massive metal arm stuck out, silver and glistening. The blade snapped back with a click, and he slowly started to turn back around. I look down, and realise the blade had gone straight through me as well, I collapse back to the floor, but I'm determined to carry on. I crawl toward the light, its only a few metres away from me. I reach my hand out, but the portal flashes, and closes as my finger tips just reach through, and I collapse.

My fingers reach out, and scratch against the ground, but its notably colder, not much, but colder than the raging waves of heat before. I push my hand forward, and feel my knuckles brush against thick rocks... This was not the same place... 
I open my eyes and the first thing I see is the blood that drips from my nose, that laid upon the black ground. I pull my self straight up to my knees. It was the place I had seen through the portal. 
The fire raged before my eyes, and rubble was scattered across the floor. Destroyed buildings, blood, bones.
