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

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.
