The day was hot, the sweat was hot running down the mens necks, the barrels were hot from gunfire. Logan had been shooting at the helicopter for the sakes of saving the rockets for something else. No man there wanted to kill someone, but they had to do it. The vehicles kept on advancing, not slowing for a bumb, nor a stop sign 200 yards from the entrance into the town. The trucks created a straight line, with both tanks leading them side by side. BOOM! A mine goes off. One tank is stranded 100 yards from the town. BOOM! Another goes off, this time completely destroying the first transport truck. 100, 75, 50 25, they were almost here. The helicopter was staying back, attmepting to stay out of Logans range. PSHEEEEW! Logan launched the first Javilin at the Helicopter, it deployed flares and dodged to the left as the rocket flew by. Riley had began firing at the transports, and had sucseeded in killing the driver and half the men inside it. The others fled behind the other tank, seeking cover from the deadly lead projectiles that seeked their souls. BOOM! BANG! BAM! Mines were going off left and right. It seemed like 75 guys came to the fight, and only 40 of them are going to make it to the city.
The tank finally reached the gates, and Sam was ready. While Riley distracted the Men behind it, he ran up, threw C4 on the front of it, then ran away. Riley ran to cover, and held his hears. Sam hit the transmitter, then BOOOM!!!! The tank is destroyed into a pile of ashes. 5 guys that were behind it were obliterated by the shockwave the explosion had sent out. Logan had reloaded by now, and fired the next rocket. It was a dud. It made contact with the Helicopter, but didnt explode until it hit the ground. The Helicopter took advantage of this and flew directly to where Logan was. The gunner began hailing shells onto his little tower. Logan grabed a M32 Gernade Launcher and jumped out of the Tower. Falling, He turned right side up and shot the helicopter right on the nose. It went spiraling down towards Nick on the far side of town. Plummeting down, Logan fell right into a hovel next to the church and his old tower. He layed there shocked, motionless, out of breath. The Helicopter fell down and slammed right behind Nick though. The blades were still spinning, and Nick attempted to crawl away from it. But a man with 50 pounds of gear and a gun straped to him cant crawl fast. The blade caught his left leg. Stopping, but cutting half way into the bone of his upper calf.
"OH MY GOD, FUUUUCK!!!!!!", Nick screamed for bloody murder.
Cameron came running from his hovel, helped him get the blade detatched, and drug him into the medical hovel. He had to seal the wound, but he didn't want to half to cut the whole leg off. Nothing Extremely important was cut, and the bleeding stopped quickly after stiches, but Cameron had to watch both Nick and the west entrance now. Sam and Riley stood hosing down a good 15 men who were in the trucks. 5 of them had found shelter against the wall. The others weren't so lucky. 20 of the other men who were in the 2nd truck had spit up into 2 teams and were making their way around the town, to the rear and south entrance. The south entrance was covered up by the tower before, but since it was gone, it was an open path to the town Synagogue. Tyler attempted to pick of any stragglers on the East entrance, but he noticed nick wasn't at the west entrance anymore. In a brief decision, he ran over to a doorway 2 hovels down form the Synagogue, so he could watch both.
Logan finally began to move again, but at the wrong time. The 10 men begain to come into the south entrance of the town. All Logan had to work with was a trench knife. He had to defend his part of town. So one by one, doorway by doorway, singling out each man, he deminished the number from 10 to 2. The last 2 men were heading right for the synagogue, covering eachothers backs, and checking the doorways. Logan ran from behind, like a blood stained hooligan, and slit the throat of the first man. He dropped the body, ran to the 2nd one, threw the mans gun down, and pulled the blade to his throat. Before he could kill him, the man pulled his face cover down, it was a boy. No older than 15 or 16. Logan couldn't kill this boy, so he lowered his knife. But the boy was smart, he pulled a pistol from his back belt, and shot Logan in the stomach. Logan fell to his knees, not believing what had just happened. The boy bent down to pick up his AK-47, but as soon as he stood back up, a barrage of bullets ripped through his chest. Cameron had seen the boy shoot Logan, so he ended his wicked soul right there. He had to drag him across the street into the Medical Hovel. He tried to patch the wound up, but now he has to watch the south entrance and the west entrance.
Riley and Sam were droping bodies like Skrillex drops the beat. Until one lucky shot, slams Riley right between the eyes. He drops like a sac of potatoes. Sam drops his weapon, and runs across the street. Bullets wizz by his head as he makes a desperate run for his fallen friends. A bullet from the same gun that had hit Riley slams into the shoulder of Sam. He falls down to his knee, but continues to run for his friend.
"Riley....RILEY!"Sam screams at his dead friend!
He reaches over and picks up Rileys rifle, and goes on a man hunt. One by one, he guns down the 5 soldiers remaming at the east gate. When he gets to the last one. His gun is unloaded. He grabs his knife, and leaps towards the man. bullet after bullet goes into Sams body. But nothing will stop his rage. He reaches the man, and stabs the knife right into his head. In the same spot where he shot Riley. Both men fall to the ground. Knowing that they had killed eachother. But they also killed one anothers friends. They fall to the ground, motionless, dead.
The last 10 men reach the west entrance. No holding back, Tyler steadily walks towards them, guns blazing. In less than 30 seconds, 10 dead bodies lie on the ground, torn from the bullets in his gun. Tyler makes a quick perimeter check. Discovering the deaths of both Riley and Sam. He drags their bodies to the synagogue, then runs into the Medical hovel. Logan and Nick lay injured in 2 makeshift beds. Cameron rushing to keep Logan alive. The bullet had gone straight through luckily. He wouldn't live for 10 minutes if it hadn't. Nick's leg was in need of amputation. There was no chance of him surviving it they didn't operate now. Tyler held his shoulders, and Cameron held his leg. All they had to cut with was a trench knife.
"I'm sorry Nick, but this is going to hurt alot."Cameron exclaimed to his passed out friend.
"Do it quick Doc.'Tyler was nervous, this all could go very wrong.
Cameron placed the knife on the wound, then put all his force into cutting the leg apart. It was tough until he got through the bone. THe knife slid through the skin like it was butter. Nick almost immediatly fainted from shock. He was shaking on the table, Cameron quickly gave him some water, and rocked his head to calm him down. A slow rumble shook the ground again, this time alot louder. Tyler ran outside and looks down the street. Nothing coming from the east side, but a massive cloud arises on the west side.
"Oh God no!" Tyler stumbles back into the Hovel, "They are coming again! We can't hold out at all! We have to give the town up!"
"No, lets fight, let us go down with the town if it takes us with it!" Cameron exclaimed.
"Alright fine, but we need to move Logan and Nick into the sygagogue.""
They move the injured men into the building, and get the dead bodies of their friends and put them in the medical hovel. Tyler passed wearons out to all the men inside, giving a quick lesson on how to shoot to them all. They stood inside, waiting for their deaths. Was this a life worth living? A life worth defending to the very last man? No man knew, but this is where they would take a stand.
