Bad Land

It was a cold,bitter day during the prime of December.The wind pushed forward making it hard for the company to move forward "Corporal i think the storms getting worse!"The private stated in a worried voice,corporal Smith replied just as worried "I don't know private,but it looks like were going to have to find some shelter." The company pushed forward,looking for anything to protect them from the harsh Siberian winter.Private Sanders,A tall stout man, spoke to break the forever lasting silence between the men."HEY!where the fuck is the rest of our platoon?" Sargent Hetts,A well built average sized man replied "Calm your self Sanders...we are bound to find them soon." The men stumbled upon a small cavern,a determined Corporal smith screamed "LETS REST HERE!Its fucking freezing out here...at this rate were all gonna freeze to death." The company desperately climbed into the cavern.The cavern was a small indent in a large,snowy mountain it was small and rocky inside and didn't smell like moms lovely cooking.Corporal Smith was the first to notice the stench."Ugh..whats that smell?!" Sanders replied "I think i found your answer Corporal." Sanders gazed at a half decomposed carcass of a Siberian elk. Smith turned away at the smell."Ugh...we have to move that thing." Smith stated in disgust.Sargent Hetts grabbed the antlers of the elk and,with the help of Sanders slowly pulled the animal out of the cavern.Hetts returned and finally spoke "If we are planing to survive we are going to need a fire." Luckily the standered issue survival kit included one easy lite fire starting kit,one lighter,two MRE's,two bottles of purified water,and one survivial knife.Sanders and Hetts gathered what they could for the fire,while Smith started cooking the MRE's.After a lengthy 15 minutes,Sanders and Hetts had a decent sized pile of wood,shrubs,and any other semi-dry thing they could find."Smithy hand me the lighter,its almost nightfall we need some protection from this cold."Hetts said shivering.Smith handed the lighter oh-so preciously making sure he did not drop it,getting it soaked.Hetts handed Sanders the lighter."Get this fire lit sanders,im'a block this entrance...winds gettin' bad."Hetts grabbed loose rock,he piled the rock in a fashion which kept fresh air in,while keeping most of the harsh wind out.The men ate in silence only to glance back and forth at each other.Sick of the silence and lack of communication Smith brung up a war subject "I heard its bad in India to.Mackenzie says there is a new tank they got...some shit to do with hydrogen and carbon...i don't know for sure some nerdy shit."Hetts laughed "Ye...you hear about those whack spider drones they got in Iraq.Ma' bud DeTron says they have some spring injected poison...get hit with one and your dead in the next hour."The company stopped for there was a loud scream coming from around 50 ft. away.Hetts was first to noticed and signaled the men to put the fire out and head for the back of the cavern.There was a brief bark of commands as the Russian platoon pushed forward.Hetts recognized some of the Russian "LETS GO MEN!we have intelligence fifty American "super" soldiers were airlifted and dropped in our front lines our job...find them and kill them!Lets get this over with."A nervous Hetts whispered,barely audible commands "Stay quiet,and lets hope they pass they know we are here so get ready for some hiding.'Smith replied just as quiet "Shit..shit...shit...we need to hide their right fucking there.'He growled the ending,and with a small glance around he knew it was only a matter of time before they were found.Sanders quickly moved behind a wall of beautifully swirled,grey marble and quickly signaled for the rest of the group to follow.Hetts,Smith,And sanders waited for a good 30 minutes while the last of the patrols passed.Finally the men sat and ate,the MRE's were cold and they couldn't make a large enough fire to heat them back up.The MRE included some potatoes a piece of chicken and some mushy green beans.Smith,Sanders,and Hetts huddled together in the back of the cavern on a small,smooth shelf of granite.The men got little to none sleep,for the sounds of gunfire and worry they will be caught stayed with the men.When all the men finally got to sleep a huge winter storm was at its prime.Sanders woke to a startling BAM BAM BAM!shots rang out of the cave inside and out Smith screamed as loud as he could 'SANDERSSSSS!!!GET THE FUCK UP!'Bullets whistled,crashed,and hopped throught the cave.A very startled Sanders grabbed his m16 and sprayed a clip towards everything moving.Hetts quickly grabbed Sanders and pulled him towards Smith.'Sanders!Wake the fuck up!!!We have 10 plus Spetnas coming this way!Hetts emptied a clip into some opposers.Smith slid into cover and pulled his m9,slickly he fired 3 rounds into the head of a Spetnas agent.After a decent 10 minute gun fight the three man army lay victorious.Hetts quickly laid out his directions.'We need to move FAST!more troops will be coming soon...those shots mustve been heard within a whole mile..."So the men pushed out of the cave in search of a safer place.The company,freezing and hungry pushed further north not knowing what was awaiting them,a brutal storm and a whole platoon of Russian Spetnas.Hetts could barely hear as smith screamed "I think we are far enough!I can barely walk we need to rest." panting Sanders and Hetts replied 'Ye" The soldiers stopped and started digging out a trench like structure in the snow to keep them from being spotted when the wind started to die down a bit.Sanders took a deep breath when they finished the trench,"Sergeant i don't think were gonna' find em..." Hetts replied 'Find whom?" Sanders sighed "Our platoon sir,we went completely off track...we jumped to late i believe we were 3 miles away when we jumped who knows where we are now..." Everyone went silent,they knew he was right.Hetts sat down and started a fire."I think we should head east,the seal team should be headed to Clets Base,i heard it was a full out war zone down there,Genral Xzay should be there so we know we will be in friendly territory."Hetts said up-tight.Smith and Sanders nodded,knowing that Hetts's proclamation was correct.Sanders replied to Hetts with another idea "We should head north-east to cut across DeadMans perch,complete Russian territory they got that place locked up like the presidents,daughter's asshole.The men laughed for a short period of time while smith started cutting his boot's laces,the laces were survival laces and when unwraped was 150 ft. of nylon string capable of holding 200-300 poundsSmith Hetts and Sanders moved into a small cave of snow and slowly,and restlessly fell to sleep.The group woke up early to the sound of a falling tree,the blizzard died down but there was still a bliss wind.The company bleakly moved into a small forest hoping to find something to eat,they found morsels of a decade deer they chose not to eat it.Hetts a former survival instructor professionally built a few weight propelled traps,hopeing for anything to be caught.Smith finally broke the silence "I think we should stay here...since the storm died down,we can move tomorrow." Hetts and Sanders quickly agreed when the sound of a SNAP caught there attention "Shit!what was that?' Sanders shouted Smith Grinned and pointed to a trap with a small beaver in it.The men stood around a fire eating the beaver,savoring every bite CRACK CRACK CRACk the sound of gun shots rang through the woods Hetts quickly reacted "GET THE FUCK DOWN!" the men scurried behind the fallin tree,they all pulled their military issued m16s out of the snow shelve they used.Bullets whistled passed when a 5.56 round slid through Smiths shoulder bone.He reacted within a fraction of a second "GAH fuck fuck fuc-" Hetts screamed 'SHUT UP!Keep shooting until we can get you!" A worried sanders hesitated and shot the last of his clip into a couple of Russian units.When the firefight was over the Russian unit lay dead,and Smith lie wounded wincing in pain.

Smith shouted in agony,"GAHH....help me sanders FUCK!" Hetts and Sanders charged over to Smith. Hetts ripped Smiths uniform and looked at the wound,he quickly stated "uh...went clean through...the round shattered your shoulder bone,might get infected in a couple of days unless we have some anti-biotics,Sanders hand me your medkit." Sanders quickly handed Hetts the kit inside there was bandages,anti-biotics (a small bottle of 10),a small blood bag,and a shot of anesthesia.Hetts gave Smith 2 anti-biotics and the shot of anesthesia.Smith cried aloud and soon fell asleep.The men had no choice but to drag Smith a couple miles away from the firefight,"Damn Russians...what the fuck are we doing here anyway,we should have been with the rest of our fucking group days ago!'Sanders ranted on.An exhausted and beaten down Hetts collapsed and decided they would stay here,a bare frozen wasteland,Sanders hesitantly but quickly agreed "ye' haven't rested in awhile.Getting a little tired...how is Smithy?" Hetts looked at Sanders thinking of how to put "not good,he might die" in a better more formal way."Fine,he may get a little sick and he will suffer from alot of pain but otherwise,he should be fine." Sanders looked at the dieing smith,"He doesn't look good at all." The men sat in silence until finally smith stirred awake with a moan,"Ugh,shit...Hetts help me up." Hetts grabbed Smith and tried pulling him up,Smith gasped in pain."Ugh!STOP." Hetts laid Smith down trying not to hurt him.Sanders sat staring,thinking of anything he could do to help,finally sanders just asked "Can i help,i mean if you need me"....
