___________"Lel...Lel...Lel!"
My eyes burst open as I wake from my trance. The light of day reflects off the Tier Rangers white armor, burning my eyes as they adjust. I rub my eyes as I look at Rosa at her seat next to me and Cero on the other. She ruffles my hair as I sit back up, I smile as I adjust my blue slim suit.
"We're nearly there." She says pointing at the window of the armored car.
I look through the window squinting my eyes.
"Shanty Town..." I say as the cold word slips silently from my mouth.
We sway side to side as the vehicle goes over ruff and rugged terrain.
Abruptly, the armored vehicles in front of us stop and we do too. After the dust settles I see two daftly dressed civilians run up to the car in front of us, the fools have bottles in there hands they then throw them at the car. In response, the turrets on the vehicle turn towards them, they stop dead in there tracks with regret and shock spilled all over there faces.They won't kill them
I turn to Cero who is sitting along side me hoping that he too was thinking the same. He turns towards me.
"Idiots..." He silently slurs as he looks back at the scene.
The turrets fire sending out a loud boom as the bullet blows one of there heads clean off making a bone crunching sound. The other assailant makes a run for it as he scurries away kicking dust behind him but the turret makes quick work of him as it sends a barrage of bullets into his back. The man falls onto the ground spitting blood. I turn away but the pure adrenaline rush compels me to keep watching.
The turret cools down as a sickening quietness fills the air before a loud clanking noise echoes outside as the door of the leading vehicle opens hitting the pavement. A Tier Ranger walks through. He walks past the decapitated man not even giving him a second glance and heads towards the shot up one. The man coughs up blood as he try's to get crawl to safety but the Ranger smashes he's hand with his combat boot making the man send out a blood curdling scream. The Tier Ranger, who is completely unnerved, looks down at him and of all things applies more pressure.
Theres a whistle before a finger pops out of the leading vehicle making a circular gesture. The cold Ranger see this and nods as he cocks he's rifle aiming at the man who is probably already dead by now.
