Dead bodies fell off the cliff as General Jasper's men shot them to death, yet luckily for us, no fatalites have occurred. Bruce ran from man to man, helping them with bullet wounds.

"What now?!" One man with a radio asked, he talked on the radio to someone and then yelled back at us men. "The calavary said that the town is cleared, but they need us to distract them for a little longer so they can set up!!"

"Well then, seems like we just gotta punch the fear, bite it in the ass, and kick it in the teeth." Williams chuckled as he began climbing up the cliff, he looked down at everyone else. "What? Come on, don't be a bunch of kitty-cats." He climbed faster as the men began to follow. I followed behind Bruce and climbed up the mountain beside him, and god, it was scary. All we had to keep us on the mountain was an occasional root sticking out of the dirt. Once we reached the top I gasped.

"Holy crap..." I said as I looked around. Dead bodies laid on the floor. Some had simple bullet wounds, other had their insides completely showing. I looked ahead to see more Tajiks coming.

"SPLIT UP! HIDE BEHIND STURDY OBJECTS!! AND DON'T GET KILLED!!" Robbins yelled as he hid behind a large rock. We all his behind rocks and waited for them to show up. People reloaded guns and tied boots, but we were all as quiet as possible. Then there they were, the enemies. "ENGAGE!!!" Robbins yelled and everyone sprung out of their hiding spots, shooting all their guns at the enemies. I focused on the big men with the big guns. It stung my heart to full their guts with bullets, but it had to be done. The man with the radio was heard yelling in the background.

"THE CITY IS SECURE!! WE JUST NEED TO KILL THESE PEOPLE AND WE'RE GOOD!!!"

"HELL YEAH!!!" Robbins chuckled as he stabbed a man in the throat. "WE'RE GOING HOME, BOYS!!!" A scream came from beside me, a sharp scream out of pain, but the most spine chilling thing was that the scream was familiar. I saw Bruce dive into a trench after a man. There was a Tajik, standing at the top of the trench, his gun against Bruce's back.

I ran to the man and tackled him, he pulled the trigger and pain sparked all throughout my stomach. He stabbed me in the throat with his bayonet but I managed to take my knife out of it's seath and thrust it into the man's heart. He froze and so did I.

"MALACHI!!!!" Bruce screamed as he ran over to me. My eyelids grew heavy, the gunfire slowly stopped, and I blacked out.
