The young soldier raised his SMG just as he finally toppled over to his rear. He tried to aim, but everything was vibrating so fiercely he couldn’t get an accurate sight on anything. It was then that he decided ~Fuck it!~ and fired anyway. The first three bullets just barely grazed the closest one. He fired again. Only one bullet managed to pierce the leech’s flesh, but the other two flew off. Even with a bullet wound, the creature only hollered out before falling behind the second. Sean went to fire a third round, but the clip hissed violently. He was out of ammo. ~Fuck!~
He was out, but the monsters were still advancing. One even managed to slip up just a few feet away from him. Sean leaned back and, using his elbows, pulled himself away from the leech-creature, only to find himself bumping against a hunk of uncovered metal scrap. ~Fuck!~ Finally, the planet slowly began to stabilize itself, but just as Sean was beginning to regain his own composure, he felt strong flagellum wrapping themselves around his boot. He yelped, and did what he could to shake the creature off, but to no avail. It made its way closer; its jaws closing in on the soldier’s foot. That’s when it happened. In an instant, two metal wheels were deployed from the bottom of the boot, smacking into the creature, and then, with a roar, the wheels spun viciously, cutting into the creature’s underbelly.
It screeched in pain, and its grip was lost. With a kick, Sean shoved the spinning wheels into the creature and pushed it back while tearing into its flesh. It wiggled around helplessly along the ground, which gave the soldier just enough time to reach for his second SMG. He removed it from the holster and, with quick aim, fired two rounds. The first three bullets entered the closest Blood Leech, and the second three into the previously wounded one. Both creatures screeched in pain before their bodies fell to the ground; twitching, like dying insects.
Sean, breathless, still held his smoking weapon in his hand as if expecting the monsters to rise again and attack him. Finally, the planet came to rest. Sean’s arm lowered and his head leaned back against the mound of scrap he was pressed against. A small smirk found its way to his face. It was an ironic smile. Not only was he so far away from home, but he was on some god forsaken planet dodging giant meteors and fighting blood-sucking leeches. Not to mention the fact that there were man-hunting cyborgs here as well who want to do nothing other than blow his head off. What the fuck was he doing out here?
”How about we take a minute…” He sighed out heavily as he tried to regain control over his breathing. ”I think we killed ‘em all.” It could easily be seen that the soldier was fed up with the conditions of this mission. He looked like a man trying to come to terms with his own demise. Slowly, he began to reload his twin SMGs, and decided to strike up an idle conversation as he did so. ”Plasma claws, huh? Pretty cool. That shield’s not that bad, either.” His eyes casually wandered over to the swordsman, who was now standing. ”From the looks of it, your people are pretty advanced… Tell me about them… if you don’t mind me asking.”
