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

DreamingWriter said All three girls of Kayla's team had their guns trained on the aliens, their scopes constantly adjusting, everything a factor when you were shooting. You didn't get a whole lot of opportunities, so it was best to make sure you capitalized on the ones you did have. Surprise was definitely one of those rarer opportunities. One that you had to work for. Just before Kayla gave the order to fire, the aliens exploded. Natasha and Sam kept their guns trained on the aliens, watching, but keeping completely silent, as Kayla moved hers. Quickly finding the shots that were being fired. She kept her gun trained on the area, not knowing what kind of people they were. You could never be too careful now a days after all. The aliens are down Natasha whispered, and Kayla waited. Suddenly, the rubble seemed to come alive, before shapes materialized. It seemed to be a three man team, and Kayla kept her gun on them cycling between the three. Looks like a strike team She whispered, reaching up and adjusting the scope, zooming in a little bit closer. 3 females, seem non hostile, hold She continued, before the ground started shaking. Shit. She whispered again. That can't be good Sam said, ignoring the whispering rule, but Kayla was too worried to care. The ground shook again, as a piece of the building fell away, revealing a herder. The other team dove behind a pile of rubble, hiding them from the rain of debris from the building that used to be there. Kayla watched the whole thing, all three guns trained on the lowest zoom to watch over everything. She saw what appeared to be the leader, launch... something at the alien, though it didn't seem to hit. A few seconds later, the explosion sounded, and the ground blew into chunks of rubble. The ground rumbled once again, as two more of the behemoths walked into the scope frame. Shit. They are in trouble Kayla whispered, as they seemed to surround the area the team was hiding. It was an ambush Kayla suddenly realized. There was no way three of them were following that patrol by coincidence. We have to save them, that could be our asses down there Kayla said, to no reply from the two other girls. They knew their leader was going to give that order. They trained their guns in the usual pattern. finding the weak points in the armor of the alien metal machines. On my mark. Natasha and Sam breathed out slowly, getting ready to take their shots. The wind blew, seeming like an old western stand off, as the aliens surrounded the girls, 3......2..... The last number was said in their heads, all of them knowing the count, before Kayla gave the signal to fire. She shifted the rubble she was sitting under, and all three opened fire in rapid succession. 3 quiet bangs were heard, the sounds softly echoing off the rubble, followed by 3 more. The beasts crumpled, their spines snapped, as the high powered rounds slammed into their necks. The least armored part of the body. Clear Kayla whispered, as they flicked the safeties of their guns on. Let's get down there. Sam said, climbing out of her rubble hole. Wait. Kayla hissed, but it was too late, Sam was already on her way down. Keep her covered. she told Natasha, before climbing out herself, pulling her gun with her. Click to expand... Their bodies and faces pressed as far down into the depression behind the rubble as they could possibly get, Kara turned her head and looked at the twins...who stared back at her....now...this is a fine mess... Cat said and wrinkled her nose that the smell coming from the dead dog carcass still strapped to Kara's back...this stinks worse than your stupid dog... Kat finished the sentence for her sister which was followed up by Cat once again.....so now that our plan has gone to crap...whats the new one? Rolling her eyes, Kara heard the alien announcement to surrender once again....shifted her rifle a bit ...then whispered.....either of you ever see the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid? and could see the whites of both of the twins as they rolled their eyes in unison, which was the only clean thing on their dirt and filth encrusted faces. Squirming their bodies just a bit like two synchronized swimmers, the two girls readied themselves to move quickly. Cursing to herself silently, Kara closed her eyes for a few seconds, the twins were a pain sometimes, but she knew they were no others she had met in the last few years of her life that she would rather be in a skirmish with than these two matching bookends but Kara had become hardened over the course of the last few years. She had seen too many friends and family die and had held too many in her arms while they moved into the stillness of death. She knew that eventually the clock was running for all of them and she would rather it be her than one of these two girls to lose the other, but right now, this was life, it was hard, it was final and gave no quarter. Opening her eyes, Kara's mouth started to form the words NOW when suddenly, the popping of heavy fire came from behind and to the side. At first, she thought the aliens had flanked them which meant they were dead where they lay, but then Kara's mind instantly cataloged the sounds...human weapons and she muttered to no none in particular..what the ... in unison, she heard the twins at the same time .........hell? Lifting her head just a bit, Kara watched as the rounds tore through the Herder's organic armored body. She knew they would not go easily, but the shots seemed to be timed well, very precise and Kara knew that whoever was doing the shooting were not noobies AND she hoped they were friendly as well. Forgetting the alien's...just in case....all three women as one unit squirmed in the depression to train their weapons in the general direction the shooting was coming from. As silence once again settled onto dust and fog covered street, Kara, Cat and Kat watched one figure rise from a hiding place, then another and both, crouching low, tentatively and carefully began to move over the pile of rubble towards their position. Kara noted that each of them made sure to keep out of a direct line of fire, but she knew, from where they were at, if they had wanted to, they could have already taken out her team. Whispering to Cat and Kat....stay down...and for goodness sakes..whatever you do...dont shoot me in the back.. which elicited a response of two pink tongues appearing from their mouths, once again in a synchronized razzz. Slowly, standing, Kara kept her weapon pointed in their general direction, but with the barrel lowered towards the ground... being a woman of few words....she waited...patiently, the next move was theirs..and hopefully it would end in a positive way....
