The smell…it really was nothing of real note, earthy and filled with a musk like that of a dew filled morning… it was unsettling just how pleasant it smelled, it was calming. But i guess that just thanks to my new little friend i am carrying.
“…what’s the point…” I don’t even bother looking at the ungrateful shit…i not even sure why i even went back for him, its not like he is in any shape to fight, a busted leg and arm… he only being held together with a few crude splits and… meth… that fucking egg head who is likely the reason all this shit happen in the first places… At least he got good taste in vices.
“The point is that if we can seal the lockdown shutters at the checkpoint of that god forsake lab, maybe… just maybe the others can hold out in time for help to arrive. Before i dragged your sorry ass out of the muck, i got word that Adam the mad fuck gave the monsters a right bloody nose and slammed the doors right on little shits heads.”
Adam was nothing if not a tough son of a bitch… its a shame really, this kind of shit is for we old guard and not the young… but guess its better to go out giving the monsters the bird, then to just roll over and die… all the more the reason to not give in. After all what’s the point being some kind of hero if there is no one left to sing your name.
“Is…is my little girl still out there?” Fuck if i know… radio is dog shit in these caves, he should have fucking asked that when we were still in range.
“Aye think so, she the red head right? i didn’t get names but Adam did say that a red head was along the number that got out.” Adam said jack all, just that he got the locks sealed and that few of the others made it out without getting a little buddy… still he don’t need to know that… he can curse me in hell after all is said and done.
Not a word more came out of his mouth, but he sure as hell picked up the pace… See a little white lie can go long way. So what if the pigs didn’t in fact mean to dome that miner in head? just tell the dumb ass sheep they did and they will get right mad. We got to slave away… no had… we had to slave away just for some shitty bread and board… Got to break a few eggs to get a omelettle.
Hay silver lining to all of this shit, if… NO when help arrives, every one will know it was the Colonial Liberation Front that saved the day, we will be god damn hero! i am willing to bet our boys in the papers can even spin this shit as the UA sending down bio-weapons to just put down a little riot. who am i kidding… its likely just going to be the fucking USCM coming around, they would rather flatten this shithole then ever let us get the credit we deserve.
Best not dwell on it…we are going to be hero’s and lets leave it at that…the fuck is that…i ready my Mars letting the rail light shine on what ever it fucking was…
“Oh god… is that…” …it was the body of the egg head, poor fuck was torn limb from limb…nothing more then a head and torso, why in the holy fuck would the monsters do that to him?! Are they not trying to put their littlelings in us?.. I slowly creep over…and i see it… the Locks were closed…
“Seem that the egg head beat us to it!” Ha…guess the wee fucks got all pissy after they had the doors slammed on them for the second time. Serves the monsters the right, there is nothing quite like humans setting aside our differences to screw over a common enemy!
“What’s that written there? i can’t see that well… right now…” i shifted the light over, to where the sheep pointed to…it was a crude map showing the other locations of the locks and… The codes needed initiate the a lockdown…I snag the egg heads ID card, i am right lucky it didn’t get melted.
“Seems we still got a bit of wo…” i could hear it… it was soft, but i could hear the echo of claws against rock… seem we are going to have some guests.
“The monsters found us ready up, we are going to have to haul ass nor…” before i was able to finish, the sheep started rushing off south east.
“GO I WILL TRY TO DRAW THEM TO ME, I WILL ONLY SLOW YOU DOWN!” with out a word i just start to sprint north…Fucking sheep…They are always god damn asleep and when do snapped out of the stupor… they never put this gusto into the cause, we would have kicked the UA out by now if only… if only they joined us.
My chest hurts…i not sure if its the little buddy or if i am just out of shape…Gun shots, browning High power…one…two… three…four…and screeching, some very ear piercing screeching. What ever he did, it pissed the monsters right off.
I can see it… the soft red glow of the emergency lights… just need to input the lockdown codes… and done…the grinding of the locks closing the sound of the hydraulics pushing the bolts into place… its such bittersweet sound.
“CAN’T YOU HEAR IT!? SOME MAY SAY A GRAND TRIUMPHANT ORCHESTRAL SCORE IS THE SONG OF HERO’S! NOT ME, THIS IS MUCH BETTER NOW IT JUST NEEDS ITS FINALE!”
With finale click of the bolts setting into place, i turn around to see what had been make that racket…One real big shitter with a horde of stout red ones writhing under foot, I see its bloody oozing out sizzling with every drop that hits the rock below… I unfold my sweet little baby drop to one knee and take aim.
“LET ALL GO OUT WITH A BANG!” i hear it…the sweet sound of a mother, its like a lullaby calling me to sleep… shame for them i always hated my mother.
