Thread: Darkness Is Just The Abscence of Light (Dream Writer and Sarah)

DreamingWriter said Sam stood still, alternating between looking at Kat and Cat, as each one spoke. That would be cool She said wistfully I bet you two are still close though, I was I had someone I could be that close to. She said with a slightly sad tone in her voice, before she snapped back But your talking thing is awesome. How much practice does it take to be able to talk like that? It's so wicked! She nearly shouted, before quieting down again Sorry. I'm still kind of excited and running on adrenaline She said with another giggle. She started listening to the twins questions and answering each of them. Kayla gave a small smile at the gesture, and took the half of the candy bar, listening to the leader talking. I'm Kayla by the way She said, giving her name first as a sign of friendship and trust. I know what it's like. I've been battling over this city for a long time, and sometimes there are things that you need to do. She said, referring to her comment of being ripe. The aliens aren't stupid. If we've learned one thing it's that. They know we are here, and they know we are a thorn in their side. Thankfully we are well hidden, and they can't find us. But this was advanced even by their standards. She said, looking around the herders and the patrol. Kayla was about to tell her more about what she knew, before she heard the whine. Sam, blinked as her hand was grabbed and she was pulled away, her rifle was way back up in her hiding place, and she was sorry she didn't think to bring it. She followed after the twins, getting to the alley before hiding inside of it. I've never heard that before She whispered, the sound alien to her ears. Kayla, unfortunately had. She hefted her rifle off of her shoulder, pointing it at the black dot Bait, a trap, and clean up. This is ridiculous. She muttered, before pulling it down, and giving Natasha a complicated signal, before running towards the same alley, her rifle in front of her as she hides in the same place as the other leader They really went all out for this. We must be hurting them more than we thought She whispered, peeking out to watch the flier get closer. Natasha was watching the whole meeting from her depression in the hill. Her rifle drifted back and forth between Kayla and Sam, or the people they were talking to. Things seemed to be going well, and they seemed to be friendly. She saw them split up, and Kayla told her that they were safe, so she flicked the safety on her gun, just watching for now. Sam seems to be enjoying herself She mutters with a smile, Poor girl barely has anyone to talk to She whispers, before drifting back over Kayla. She caught wind of the whine before either of the other two did, and growled lightly A flier too. Kayla gave her the sign, and she shifted, her rifle at full zoom aiming for the alien craft.. It seemed to be heading right for the clearing that the herders dead bodies were laying. She saw the alleys that her team had went in to. and figured that they would be safe for now. Natasha kept her gun trained on the ship, holding her fire as it rained down fire into the clearing. It pulled up, and the clearing was left a wasteland. smoke and rubble strewn over the ground, the herders bodies wiped out, along with the patrol and their supplies. Click to expand... Ducking down the ally, the twins ran in unison, turning this way and that as the narrow street made quick bends and sharp turns. Occasionally one would look back to see if Sam was following them. Behind them, the screaming sound of the flyers first pass, the raking sound of the strange weapons blasting down the street they had just left behind them, the rasping of something filling the air above the screaming of its engines. Completing its run, the craft pulled straight up in a vertical climb, the sun suddenly glinting off of two silver canisters that turned loose from somewhere underneath its hidden belly and began to tumble back towards the ground as it rolled over, its under carriage pointed upwards and it began to disappear back into the distance. Slowly, as if in slow motion, the two cylinders tumbled end over end downwards towards the ambush point. Kara, not looking back to see Kayla give a signal to the rest of her team, ducked into another side street, her boots crunching on the rocks and debris as ran. Behind her, she could hear Kayla running behind her. Listening to the sound of the engines, she ran until she heard the distinct strain of the flyer power up its engines as it began its climb and spotting a black hole of what had once been a window on the building in front of her. She reached backwards, grabbed the sleeve of Kayla's uniform and jerked as she dove into the opening, rolling down into the basement of the old apartment building and squirming away from the opening before she looked back just in time to hear Kayla..... They really went all out for this. We must be hurting them more than we thought She whispered, peeking out to watch the flier get closer. Screaming, Kara leaped across the short distance, GET DOWN and landed on top of the woman to push her down to the ground. Kat muttered one word...SHIT....not... as she also heard the flyer make its climb and Cat finished it......again... suddenly, both in one synchronized move grabbed Sam, one on her left arm and one on her right, jerking her into a shallow depression underneath an old city bus, both of them crawling on top of her to push her face down into the dirt. Suddenly, the street erupted into a singular, noiseless, white flash that illuminated the whole area, a brilliant, white light turned the day into an explosion brighter than the sun as the street, buildings, rubble and everything in the blast area suddenly vaporized, the dirt and debris of what had once been concrete, steel, rocks and dirt sucked straight up into the air as the mushroom shaped cloud formed and the blast wave tore down the alley's, twisting and turning with each turn of the street. Building facings ripped off and joined the debris and concussion wave, followed by heat and the an ear splitting rumble and roar of destruction followed the speed of light wave outwards from the detonation point. The world around Kara and Kayla suddenly erupted into hell as the building above them bent, then shattered into oblivion, reigning rocks, steel and concrete down around them. The old city bus suddenly lifted high into the air, then without a sound, it disappeared down the street as the blast wave swept over the three women the buildings on each side, trembled, then crumbled down into the street as the depression where they lay suddenly disappeared, filled with what had been buildings. Silence finally settled in on the area as the mushroom cloud dispersed and the tons of ashes, soot and dirt began to filter back down onto an area swept bare as if someone took a broom and wiped the earth clean and only the sound of the wind filtered around the huge circular blast area...
