StarCraft: Infested.

First Encounter.

To Sam, it seemed like time had frozen, around him were five inexperienced soldiers, one of which was a medic and not to mention the downed civilian and there, in front of all of them was a Roach, bigger than normal and rearing to attack. He could see the acidic juices seeping out of its mouth. It took him back to his old squad.

"Sam... Sam?" Sam's focus drew back in as he realised he was back in a camp. His friend, Dallas, was stood over him, clicking his fingers to get his attention
"Hey buddy, you there?"
Sam looked up and met eyes with his friend "Yeah, I'm still here, what's up?"
Dallas patted Sam on the shoulder armour "Radars picking up movement 100 metres out but this damn fog won't let Rowdy see anything" both men looked up to a snipers post where a Ghost stood, his Sniper rife down in front of him. "Hey Rowdy you see anything?" Sam shouted up.
"Nope, nothing yet."

"Sam, we need you now!" Sam snapped back to reality, he saw Private's Ben and Reece firing on the Roach as it began to drag away the still unconscious Michael, Daymon and Alice trying desperately to hold onto him. Daymon looked back at Barron "What the fuck are you doing!? Shoot it already!"
Barron snapped back "If I shoot, you'll get caught in the blast!"
Daymon thought about what a stupid idea that was and reverted his focus back to Michaels arm. Sam looked around, still stunned that the creatures he thought were long dead, the ones that had haunted his dreams were still alive. That's when the screaming started, Michaels eyes shot open as he realised his legs were in the burning mouth of a Roach, he felt his skin melt away as it bit down. "HELP ME, OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME" Sam snapped back into focus again, wiping away the sweat of his head, his visor closed down "Fuck it." The man charged, his boots thudding underneath him, before he kept into the air, onto the Roaches back. He gained his balance as the Roach let go of Michael as it became a living rodeo. The claws on the Roaches back swung wildly in vein trying to catch the Space Marine. Sam focused fire on one apart in the Roaches armour, eventually causing it to crack, Sam threw his gun to the floor, reached for his side as he grabbed a thermal grenade and punched it into the Roaches armour. Sam kept off the beast and fell to the floor on his back, the Roach screeched and slowly approached Sam as the other watched, frozen in fear. The creature was a few metres away, its mouth spewing acid ready to burn Sam away. Sam lifted his visor, a smirk on his face and simply said "Burn."
Suddenly the Roach was engulfed in flames as the grenade exploded, it screeched and flipped itself over, its legs spasming as pain ran through it, before finally the creature itself exploded into pieces of burnt armour.

That's it for chapter two so far, the rest will come later! Again, sorry for the looooong wait but I've only just got the writers bug again. And again, thank you for the supportive comments on the last chapter, they really mean a lot!
