7 men up ahead. I raise my rifle lining up the shot. I pull the trigger watching the body fall to the ground. I get up and run to thier camp. After I break into the clearing one of the guys spring up pulling his pistol to my face. I dodge around the gun and I shoot him in the gut with my pistol. He drops to the ground clutching his stomach. I turn to the other guy and shoot him in the head. Then I turn around and shoot the two sleeping guys. Another guy runs at me screaming with a knife in his hand. I holster my pistol as I grab his wrist and twist it. The knife falls from his hand and I jab him in the throat with enough force to kill him. Then I hear a rustling behind me. Then I hear a gun cocking.
"What the fuck man. Who are you and why did you kill my buddies," I turn to see a man in jeans and a hoodie holding an Ak. Hes shaking all over obviously never having threatened anyone with a gun before. I quickly dash to the left and the guy shoots. He misses by a mile. I pull out my pistol and shoot him in the knee. This forces him to the ground. I go up to him and hold my gun to his forehead. Tears well up in this guys eyes. I smile as I pull the trigger. His head whips back violently. I go through thier bags and find junk. A couple clips of handgun ammo and some cans of baked beans. Then I hear it. I thought I covered my tracks. Did I give my location away from the shooting? I gather up my stuff and start to run. It gets closer and closer. I can't escape it so I hide behind a tree. I hear It land and I grit my teeth. I hear them leave it and I start to sweat. Thier Zacondos. They attack planets and feed off its organic population. They've done it over and over again more times then I can count. That sound indicates there sergeants. Theres only two of them probably packing pulse rifles and sonic sabers. I can't escape. Ill have to fight. I pop out from behind the tree and fire my rifle at the closest Zacondo sergeant. It hits him in the head and he falls to the ground. I pull back the bolt on my rifle ready to take another shot when a plasma bolt hits the tree. The force knocks me to the ground. I lose my rifle in the fall. I start to get up removing my pistol from the holster. The Zocando has already closed the gap and he knocks the pistol from my hand. He lifts his plasma rifle ready to fire. I kick it sending it flying. The Zocando growls and throws me through a tree. The blow shatters my ribs and the pain is searing. I stumble back to the campsite looking for the weapons. I find the dead kid and the Ak. I pick it up and turn. But to late. The Zocando has caught up. He jumps on me and he pins me to the ground. His rancid breath makes me shiver. I kick him off me and I scramble for the pistol of the guy I shot in the stomach. I grab it and fire in the direction of the Zocando. He raises his arm and the bullets bounce off his arm armor. He snarls and charges at me. I continue shooting hitting him in the shoulder. He tackles me applying pressure to my arm. I reach out for anything. My hand finds a knife. I clasp it and shove it right into the Zocando's abdomen. He shrieks in pain and rolls to the side. I keep on stabbing him. Again and again I stab into his chest with all my might. Soon his body goes still. I stop and catch my breath. Then I get tackled from behind. A sharp object penetrates my arm. I cry out in pain as I hit the ground hard. The Zocando growls in my face. Half of his face has been blown out from the bullet. Then I hear a thunk and a large metal pole is sticking through him. It barley missed me by about 2 inches. I roll from underneath the Zocando. I see a man of around 43 with a large gun. Im guessing it shoots these metal poles. Then I hear rumbling and a large transport tank crashes through the trees. When I see whos piloting it I get up to run away.
The man points the gun at me and screams,"Don't move our commander will want to talk to you." I stop and turn to her. I look up to see 24 year old asian women. Shes wearing combat boots, cargo pants, and a white tank top. She has her brown hair tied back. She removes her aviators and now I know its her. My breath quickens and I start to sweat. Then shes says her first words to me in over 5 years.
"Hello...... Alex."
