Tico and Benny showed up behind me, and Benny said "Where's Diego?" I responded with a quiet voice "He left us." They both sighed and we kept walking. More and more plants started to fade away as we walked so it either meant we found a river or dirt land. We soon came across no more plants and a small village made out of sand bricks and mud, it was right in front of us. It looked empty. It would be a great place to rest for the night so we each pulled out a gun and walked over to a house each. There was few houses, at least seven of them. I walked up to a small house and kicked down the door with my "good" leg and jumped inside pointing my gun. It was clear. About fifteen minutes later the whole village was checked and had nothing besides animals. Soldiers probably came and cleared it out and waited for us. Tico got onto a tower with a sniper rifle, Benny stayed on one side of the village in a house, and I did the same as Benny just opposite. Tico said he hadn't seen anything, so we chose to rest that night. I slept soundly again but woke up in the middle of the night because I heard something. I got up with my crutches, pulled out my pistol, and looked outside the window. Thirty soldiers, at least, walked around with machine guns and the from behind us I heard a huge rumbling noise. I checked the back and saw a tank three times the size of a tow truck. It was massive. I needed to find the others. Then I pulled out my walkie talkie and asked where Tico and Benny where. They said that they both ran into the forest before the soldiers and tank showed up. I told them I would get out alive. One soldier pushed down my barrier and pointed his gun inside. I climbed up on the ceiling holding onto the flat corners and my leg hurt but this was for my survival. I jumped on him and cracked his neck. I took his gun and limped out the door firing at any soldier I saw then Benny and Tico showed up with their own guns an helped me out. Then, reinforcements came to attack. Three against what seemed like a thousand, but we tried our best. It was a definite war when the people of the village showed up and decided to fight with us. They all hid in the trees while we stayed in the houses. The people had farming tools, knifes, and some had guns. Then we all ran at each other fighting for our lives. Everywhere I looked a villager would have been laying on the ground bleeding or a soldier lay on the ground. Then, Benny got tackled from behind, and Tico went to help but fell to the ground as well.
