#3 of Chronicles of the Justicar


[Planet Sepress Prime, Outer space. Year 3,679. April 8th. Friday. 5:54 AM. VALOR Fleet. Omega. VALOR Destroyer Capital Ship; Winter's Fall. Tactical briefing]

Private Fiaz took his seat in the small grey room with his squad; the chairs were in rows of five all facing one view screen attached to the wall. His rifle made sitting uncomfortably with it taking up space and banging up against the back of the chair, he tugged his rifle off his back.

"M63 assault rifle removed. Right magnet" beeped the female voice inside Arjun's helmet.

He placed the gun against the side of his chair so it leaned against it. More marines entered the room, each looking the same because of the unisex body armour; they took their seats when the squad leader stood in front of the view screen.

"As most of you know me, I am Captain Sharkfin, of the UNSF second battalion, and leader of this squad, The Super Dragons."

Arjun looked at his shoulder piece to see a green dragon snapping the neck of what looked to be a Darkspawn.

"As you all know, High General Constantine ordered the immediate invasion of Sepress Prime to sever the connection between Khaos and Valgary." Captain Sharkfin paused, and then he continued in his genderless tone.

"Our assignments along with many other fire teams are to take down the planetary defence cannon that will keep the Destroyer ships from bombarding the planet and from deploying Behemoth battle mechs. Once that is done, the VALOR forces will push to a fortified generator that protects the Valgary tunnels and it's self with a powerful energy shield.

Arjun leaned back in his chair; he closed his eyes then opened them again. Arjun raised his hand for Captain Sharkfin to answer.

"Yes, private?" the experienced marine asked.

"With all do respect, doesn't this seem a bit....impossible to pull off with only a few squads?" asked Arjun

Captain Sharkfin looked down at his feet and chuckled. "If we had more...what would be the fun in it?" he said as he looked back at Arjun

[Planet Sepress Prime. Year 3,679. April 8th. Thursday. 5:55 AM. Khaos Garrison Force. 162 Suffering]

Zhakaev gulped. "L..Liken, I don't want us to ruin a perfectly good friendship, we've been friends for a long ti-"

Liken placed her middle finger on Zhakaev's mouth, she smiled as she slid her black body over the Darkspawn. "Shhh" Liken smiled as she playfully nipped at Zhakaev's neck.

Zhakaev grabbed Liken's side and pushed her away from him. "Liken...now isn't the time. I have to get ready for the battle about to be fought."

"Now isn't the time?" said Liken this time more angry "This will be the last time I see you Zhakaev, I love you Zhakaev, I just wanted to show you how much I cared." Smiled the Valgary

Zhakaev blushed; the daemon's cheeks turned a bright red as he raised his head to kiss his friend on the lips, his arms wrapped her waist has he brought her body against his as his head hit the pillow.

Liken smiled brighter than Zhakaev has ever seen, Liken grabbed her love's crotch that was still under his purple and black armour. The Valgary looked up at Zhakaev, "This won't hurt" she smiled.

Liken tightened her grip on the armour, her claws sunk into the metal and smiled once more at Zhakaev who was panting from lack of air. The black alien ripped the patch free, revealing her mate's erect white penis.

Liken threw the patch of armour away onto the ground, she positioned herself just above it and leaned her mouth against his. The Darkspawn rubbed her sides with both hands gently as Liken began pecking at his neck and forehead every so often.

Liken grabbed her mate's chest to support herself, she growled suggestively at Zhakaev before coming down hard on Zhakaev's penis with her vagina hoping for a burst of pleasure only to get shock of pain.

Liken shrieked and cried out in pain as the Darkspawn began to laugh to himself. "What's...so...funny." Said Liken as she cringed from the pain.

"Just that, it's your first time and you didn't know it would hurt?" he laughed again.

Liken took a shallow breath. "It's your first time too...I don't..." Liken took anther breath for air. "See you in pain."

"That's, because I'm male. Liken." Said Zhakaev with a smirk across his face.

The Darkspawn rubbed Liken's back. "Just, take it slow Liken" he said softly

Liken nodded and supported her self again using her mate's chest, she lowered her self onto his cock gently, this time with more positive results. She slid her vagina as far as she could until it started to hurt again; she tightened her grip on Zhakaev as he held her arms.

Zhakaev tried to make eye contact with all six of his eyes to let her know she was doing a good job instead of talking, his large right eye was shut and the other was half open, his smaller eyes manage to maintain focus on the black female.

Liken found it easier as she continued to slid her vagina up and down along Zhakaev's cock, each time able to go down a bit more until she reached the base.

Liken started to moan in pleasure as her grip on Zhakaev began to weaken, the Darkspawn's muscles began to retract and tense up, his tongue relaxed from his mouth and stuck out from his razor sharp teeth.

"Beep! Beep!" Zhakaev's wrist whined

The Darkspawn answered it as Liken continued moving her body up and down on his penis. He took a breath. "Y...Yes?"

"Zhak! Were the hell are you! VALOR entered the system, you're late!"

Liken moaned heavily and the other Darkspawn stopped talking. ".....Hell was that?"

Zhakaev took a breath. "Nothing,...I'll be...there" he said

[Planet Sepress Prime. Year 3,679. April 9th. Friday. 6:05 AM. VALOR Fleet. Omega. VALOR Drop Ship; Highlander.]

Arjun held onto the two bars of the harness that overlapped his armour inside the drop ship with the rest of his squad. Several thousand Drop ships flew from Destroyer capital ships as they floated out of the Defence cannon's range, smaller more accurate automated turrets fired on the blue and white ships as they flew over the barren planet.

Arjun's drop ship landed with a thud. "Alright men! Lets go take down that cannon!" ordered Captain Sharkfin

The back of the drop ship opened outward and a ramp connected the ship to the ground. The fifteen man squad pulled their harnesses free and grabbed their assault rifles before running down the ramp.

Arjun's HUD, heads up display, flickered with many pictures, compass that pointed to each squad member, an ammo count for his gun, a small triangle beside each team-mate's head that list how far there were from Arjun and many other tactical help.

Arjun also noticed several green bars along the spinal columns of each marine, showing their vital signs. "Right side door breach! Stack up!" ordered Sharkfin

The squad ran to a large dirt pillar which toward over the landscape, VALOR one man fighter flew over the battle field in the blink of an eye. The squad stood to the side of large metal door that lead to the entrance of the underground base, a marine broke the single file and placed a small bomb from his back pack on the door, he looked to Sharkfin for approval.

Sharkfin nodded, and the marine quickly went back in line as the door exploded. The sound of the explosion was interrupted by the war cries of Khaos troops and laser fire, Sharkfin turned to the marine behind him.

"Throw a flash bang." He ordered.

The marine nodded and whipped out a small grey cylinder, "Grenade out!" he yelled

The cylinder flew into the ranks of the chaos troops and exploded. "Go go go!" yelled Sharkfin.

The squad ran into the room where the Khaos troops were blinded from the flash of light, Arjun followed the marine in front of him; his helmet high lighted the Khaos troops in a red outline with VALOR marines in green.

Arjun aimed his assault rifle at a Darkspawn. The purple and black armoured alien shook its head as it regained vision only to see Arjun pointing his gun at it.

Arjun squeezed the trigger slowly; a hail of black and white bullets flew from the barrel of the gun into his target, the daemon roared in pain as it was sent into bloody ribbons of flesh and metal from the rounds of the assault rifle, the outline of the daemon turned grey from red.

Arjun turned and fired anther burst at a Darkspawn, the Daemon flailed around as its muscles retracted from the hail of bullets, the alien hit the floor as its purple blood stained the floor.

Sharkfin kicked the corpse with his boot, the tangled bloody body slid across the floor leaving a streak of blood. "Area secured." He said

Arjun clicked a red button on the side of his gun. "Clip Ejected" Arjun kicked the grey magazine away and reloaded a new one. "Clip secured."

Sharkfin and the other marines followed in single file as they walked down the hallway away from the previous room. Sharkfin opened a door quietly as he stuck his rifle through the opening.

He opened the door all the way to see the outside again. The defence cannon was off in the distance, every ten seconds it fired a massive red pulse that sailed into outer space, the shockwave shook the ground with every round.

The Darkspawns guarding the area turned around. "Khaos reigns supreme!" they all yelled in unison

"Open fire marines!" ordered Sharkfin

Arjun fired his rifle as he ran behind a large crate with daemonic writing across it. Red laser fired from the alien weaponry flew past the crate on either side; the marine went to the edge of the crate and pointed his rifle at the daemons.

His HUD flashed and a small view screen appeared in the top corner showing what his gun saw via camera. Harder than it seemed, Arjun pulled the trigger as he focused on the view screen, he shot a Darkspawn in the shoulder, the daemon didn't phase and returned fire at the humans.

Arjun looked at the crate and could still see the outlines of the Darkspawns behind it; he pulled out a black ball and focused on one red outline. "Locking on." The machine beeped

Arjun's arm moved without his permission, the suit flexed the arm that was holding the ball, after a few seconds the power armour made Arjun throw the grenade after arming it.

The frag grenade went off at the target's feet sending the daemon into several places at once.

Sharkfin grabbed a Darkspawn's energy rifle; he threw the gun away and kicked the daemon in the chest. He slammed his right fist into the alien's back sending it to the floor, quickly Sharkfin pulled out his handgun and sent a round through the skull of the alien.

Sharkfin looked outside to see the defence cannon fire anther round. "Regroup marines, we got to take that thing down."

[Planet Sepress Prime. Year 3,679. April 9th. Friday. 7:30 AM. Khaos Garrison Force. 162 Suffering]

Zhakaev fired his last round into anther of the human warriors. The alien disintegrated into ash as Zhakaev reloaded his energy rifle; more of the human warriors ran towards his squad taking up what ever cover they could find.

One of Baphomet's troops hid behind cover as she reloaded the handgun in her hand. Unlike Laybrinth's troops, daemons of Baphomet wore nothing but there tabard as armour and a basic pistol for a weapon, but their main contribution was able to seduce enemies, unfortunately it will do little good in a fire fight.

Zhakaev rose from cover and shot anther human in the head, the alien quickly turned to dust and evaporated, his wrist beeped again. "Zhakaev, more human warriors have breached the defences, they are on route to the cannon's control centre, meet up with my men and I there, Naz'molgo, out."

Zhakaev swore as more human troops ran in the hole they blew open earlier from the outside, he patted his closet comrade on the shoulder. "Pull back! Fall back to the cannon!" yelled Zhakaev as he fired his rifle in one hand.

[Planet Sepress Prime. Year 3,679. April 9th. Friday. 7:35 AM. VALOR Fleet. Omega. Defence cannon control room.]

"Ammo, expended" beeped Arjun's helmet. Arjun reloaded his assault rifle as he ducked behind a computer, red energy rounds flew past his head. "Clip secured"

Arjun placed his assault rifle on the desk for balance and fired, two more daemons fell down, their tabards ripped to pieces and their bodies as well.

Several of the almost nude daemons entered the room, behind them entered a large Darkspawn, the daemon roared and fired its energy rifle in one hand hitting several marines killing them.

Arjun's HUD flashed a skull and cross bones above each of the dead marines that were hit, Arjun stayed behind cover as the head Darkspawn continued killing the marines in his squad.

Captain Shark fin attacked the daemon with his knife but the Darkspawn laughed. It picked the marine up by the neck and ripped his head off with it's free hand, the skull was still attached to the spine where the daemon twirled it around before throwing it away.

The Darkspawn shot the corpse without looking then focused on Arjun who was the last marine there. Arjun looked out of cover to see five of the naked daemons pointing their handguns at Arjun.

Normally Arjun wouldn't mind seeing a naked woman with nice firm breasts like the ones in front of him, but Arjun wasn't attracted to daemons. Before the lead Darkspawn could give the order to fire, the ceiling exploded and several pitch black armoured daemons jumped down.

The humanoid aliens wore light leather armor with many miss placed metal plates on their body, several knives were located on their back, legs, feet and wrists. The black leather wearing aliens landed without a sound and turned to their enemies.

They fired their silent semi-automatic rifles, each landing a single well placed headshot flawlessly on the Khaos troops, the head Darkspawn retreated as one of the black armoured Daemon's took off his helmet.

"Commander To'vash of the Silent blades." Saluted the daemon.

Arjun knew Daemon Dragon Lord had elite rebel troops but these men took the cake by killing twenty daemons in seconds with twenty rounds. "Sorry about the delay we ran into reinforcements. We will now shut down the cannon, thank you for holding the fort" smiled To'vash as he equipped his helmet

The rebel commandos began going to computers and started to hack several at a time without mistake, Arjun reloaded his rifle and went back the way he came.

[Planet Sepress Prime. Year 3,679. April 9th. Friday. 11:25 AM. VALOR Fleet. Omega. Generator.]

VALOR one man fighters flew over the generator dropping their payload of bombs onto their targets, explosions lined the massive fortress as VALOR Forces pushed their way into the main complex, and several tanks rolled over Khaos blockades crushing the daemons that were suppressed behind them.

VALOR drop ships landed across the base dropping several marine rifle teams into the military compound, Arjun slid down on the rope from the hovering aircraft as more marines came down the same way from other drop ships hovering over the plant.

Arjun detached his rifle and held it close time as he made his way through the noisy fortress along with the other squads as they rushed past him more confidently

.

He entered the room where the Khaos Generator was located. The massive machine had hundreds of rotating gears...and many guards.

Darkspawns opened fire on the marines; marines quickly fell to the floor from the attack, one of the sergeants threw a flash bang disorienting the aliens allowing the marines to enter safely. Arjun shot two daemons in the chest sending them to the ground as he ran into the room following three marines behind cover.

"Boogies! On southern flank!" yelled a marine over the comm. system

Arjun turned and knelt to one knee, he fired his assault rifle blowing a guard into chunks from the black and white rounds, several Darkspawns on the above catwalk suppressed the marines heavily from the higher terrain, maintaining continuous fire the humans were forced to stay in cover.

Arjun quickly got up and fired at a Darkspawn with no effort to aim, the daemon fell off the catwalk from the hit and died from the impact, Arjun continued running when he pulled out a grenade and threw it onto a catwalk, the ball exploded sending Darkspawns to their doom and crashing the catwalk onto the generator.

"Ammo Expended"

Arjun sat down and reloaded his rifle; he heard a raspy voice and stood up again.

Clip secured"

Out of the rotating gears came two spider-like daemons, the daemons had their upper torso connected to a platform with eight legs sticking out, their energy rifle was grafted onto their right arm.

The spider daemons roared and raised their energy rifles. Arjun ran from the guardians as they fired on the bulk of the marine forces.

One of the spider daemons cocked its head at Arjun and jumped, landing in front of Arjun, only to be answered by several rounds from the marine. The spider daemon was disoriented as the bullets deflected off its armour, Arjun ran and slid under its legs and continued running.

The spider turned around and roared at the human running away. The guardian chased after the marine, leaping from catwalk to catwalk until it landed behind Arjun.

Arjun continued running as the spider aimed its gun only to explode into hundreds of bloody pieces from a primed grenade Arjun left on the cat walk seconds ago. The last daemon fired its energy gun rapidly at the running marine, patches of the catwalk turned to ash from every round.

The marine squads looked from out of cover and fired on the backside of the alien as it was distracted, the overwhelming firepower rendered the creature into nothingness; the marines regrouped and began planting explosive charges around the generator.

[Planet Sepress Prime. Year 3,679. April 9th. Friday. 1:20 PM. Khaos Garrison Force. 162 Suffering]

Lady Nalfiria rubbed her gloved hands together after reading the report on the surface. The defence cannon destroyed the generator as well not to mention VALOR preparing to send many troops into the tunnels to clean up the rest of the Khaos forces.

Ya'garo saluted a Darkspawn that walked up to him. "Hail, Khaos." Said the daemon

"Hail, Khaos" answered Ya'garo "What is it?"

"My lord, the Valgary hive King wishes for his warriors to attack the VALOR command centre, head on."

"What?" Ya'garo laughed. "Head on!? We have VALOR on our door step and he wants to make an offensive assault?!"

"He says his people did much more impossible, like the attack on our main foothold when we first settled here."

Ya'garo nodded. "Good point, but we won't be able to support him. Alright let the King knows I gave him the approval."

"Yes my lord!"

[Planet Sepress Prime. Year 3,679. April 9th. Friday. 2:05 PM. VALOR Fleet. Omega. Command Centre.]

Hundreds of marines lined the walls of the outpost; automated turrets scanned the large field in front of the base camp as Destroyer Capital ships landed inside the enormous outpost.

Arjun stood at his post looking at the horizon of the barren desert like planet, he leaned against his rifle as he yawned, after killing many daemons, shutting both the generator and the cannon, he was glad to have a boring assignment like this.

Many of the bored guards were playing cards in the defence towers, several bragged to each other about how many kills they recorded while others simply drank from their canisters.

He detached his helmet and placed it the ground by his feet. He brushed his dusty and mess brown hair with his armoured glove, having brown eyes and skin, he heard the nick name 'chocolate' to many times.

The nearby sun was unbearably hot forcing the marine to secure his helmet on his head for the cooling system, he leaned against the wall that came up to his waist trying to play 'I spy with my eye' out of boredom.

He watched the open terrain until he noticed a black figure. "Locking on."

A small view screen appeared on the left side of his HUD. The picture was an enlarged image of the figure; the alien had an elongated head, dark black skin, a long bladed tail, and a pair of claws with talons the size of bananas.

More aliens appeared clogging up Arjun's enlarged view screen; Arjun dismissed the new screen to see the massed army of black aliens charging across the battlefield. Arjun was about to call about the attack, but already many more marines showed up to enforce the wall, turrets came online and fired on the Valgary army.

"Fire at will!" yelled a marine captain

The countless marines fired their assault rifles along with the defence turrets, a storm of black and white rounds covered the approaching mass of aliens, and hundreds of the Valgaries fell but many more placed the dead causing an endless wave of enemies that flooded the battle field.

Arjun reloaded clip after clip wishing he could turn off the annoying A.I in his helmet. "Ammo expended."

He quickly reloaded his clip from his ammo belt that was running low. "Clip secured."

He lost count after several continuous minutes of shooting at the hundreds of crazed animals that swarmed the base, one after the other he gunned his targets down, their blood stained the sand as more Valgaries ran over the bodies to reach the VALOR base.

The Valgary onslaught continued to run through the bullet fire where they reached the fortified walls, the aliens jumped and shrieked at the VALOR marines who pointed their rifles downwards and continued firing.

"Ammo Expended" Arjun cringed as he hated hearing the voice say the same line over and over, no matter how many rounds he fired the Valgaries continued charging the base. Arjun reloaded his rifle and continued to fire at the endless enemies.

A Valgary leaped onto the walkway were Arjun was standing, the alien roared only to be greeted by Arjun and three other marine's weapons at close range. The dismembered alien fell backwards into the bloodbath below, Arjun reached for a new clip only to touch the emptiness of his ammo belt.

"Well this is just fan friggen tastic"

A large boom followed by a shockwave shook the ground as everal VALOR fighter bombers flew from behind the marine base; the blue and white bombers flew over the Valgary force, they dropped their nukes onto the approaching enemies turning their bodies to ash.

"Woah! That go them!" yelled a nearby marine to Arjun's left.

More Valgaries charged down the battlefield, they ran faster and in greater numbers, like a black tide. A drop ship that resembled Khaos flew near the bottom of the base camp and dropped off several daemon commandos; the black armoured daemons raised their rifles and fired.

Arjun didn't have a chance to get a shot off, including the turrets that could fire a round in a split second. The rebels flawlessly took down each Valgary with one bullet through the head; Arjun watched the daemons and could see they were bored; they slowly walked forward and continued to place their perfect shots.

"Those hot shots think their so great..." whispered a marine in spite.

A commando turned and fired a quick shot into the marine's arm before going back to killing the Valgary army. The marine fell to the ground as Arjun and several other marines laughed before medics arrived.

Suddenly the ground shook immensely, the battlefield cratered and a large hole appeared in the middle. An enormous black armoured creature burst from the darkness of the hole, the six armed Valgary roared and towered over the base camp.

The commando's fired on the Valgary Hive King, the large alien cackled and knocked the daemons away effortlessly, they flew through the air and past the base to their death.

Arjun hopped over the wall and charged towards the Hive King, one of the marines yelled out. "Fiaz! What the hell do you think your doing!?"

"Don't worry. I saw this in a movie!" Arjun responded

"Move?! What do you think this is? Some kind of sci-fi story!?"

Arjun didn't know what he eas thinking, he did survive a lot of things any normal marine would have died from, so why not take anther gamble at it? He stopped in front of the Hive King, he pulled out a grenade as the Hive King roared, Arjun threw the primed grenade down its mouth, in a few seconds the King's head exploded sending black shrapnel in all directions. Arjun's suit was splashed in black blood were he slipped and fell.

[Planet Sepress Prime. Year 3,679. April 9th. Friday. 3:30 PM. Khaos Garrison Force. 162 Suffering]

Liken watched Zhakaev and many other Khaos troops take up defensive positions, hundreds of Valgaries were being loaded onto a single massive train that was going to leave the Valgary hives to a Khaos fortified zone, Zhakaev grabbed Liken's arm and pushed her into the tram.

"Liken, you will be safe there. Were taking your people off the planet."

A large blast shook the room, humans jumped down in numbers running into any cover they could find as they exchanged fire with Zhakaev's men.

Liken looked at the VALOR marines coming through the opening in the ceiling. "What about you?" she said softly

Zhakaev turned around. "Close the train!" yelled Zhakaev, ignoring Liken's question

[Planet Sepress Prime. Year 3,679. April 9th. Friday. 3:31 PM. VALOR Fleet. Omega. Khaos Hives.]

"All Squads! Take out that Carrier! If that train leaves this whole god dam campaign will be completely void l!" ordered Arjun's commander

Arjun dashed across the holding area, countless enemy rounds rushed past his body as he ducked, jumped and fell to avoid the lethal weaponry. Focused on running to get a good shot off at the train he didn't see the Darkspawn he ran into, turning around after exchanging fire with the VALOR forces, the alien smacked the smaller human down with its rifle.

The Darkspawn pointed its gun towards Arjun's head only to be shot down by several marines from behind; Arjun was quickly pulled to his feet by the fellow humans running past him.

Arjun picked up his rifle from the sandy ground dusting off what ever he could before he had to focus on the task at hand. Several of the green triangles turned to the grey skull and cross bones over the dead marines near the train, a burst of three round intervals disintegrated the marines that ran past him earlier, the red outline showed a much larger Darkspawn and presumably a higher ranked one as well.

The elite Darkspawn held it's rifle in one hand tanking accurate shots at the marines as the rest of it's troops were stepped on by the approaching marines, the alien had it's head turn to a lone Valgary that was talking to him.

Arjun shouldered his rifle as the Darkspawn tried to multitask, he looked down the barrel of his scope keeping the crosshairs on the alien's head. Quickly Arjun squeezed the trigger letting a steady round of bursts pamper the alien's advanced armor; a lucky round punched a hole in its armor causing the Darkspawn to roar.

The alien spoke one finally word to the Valgary as the train began to leave the underground docking bay, now focused, the alien turned to meet Arjun with its rifle gripped.

"Bravo-sniper ready, taking the shot. Over." Whispered a black armoured marine at the very end of the loading bay.

The human lifted his sniper rifle and fired a single high powered round which hit the Darkspawn in the head knocking it to the ground with its head still intact.

"Target is still alive. Over." Reported the quiet marine over his built in head system.

The Darkspawn got up groggily, keeping its weapon as balanced as it could, it fired several shots before being shot again by the same sniper.

Arjun rushed past the wounded alien to the Carrier as it started to pick up speed, he took a faithful leap towards the makeshift ladder at the caboose of the train. His right hand caught onto a pipe, slowly he pulled himself up and climbed onto the roof of the train.

His boots magnetised to the metal surface, as the computer announced in its monotone voice. Scenery flashed by him as he took baby steps across the train trying not to look down in the cages of the thousands of Valgaries trying to claw at him.

Slowly and carefully he came to the head of the train, he looked down through the sun roof at the driver. A trio of bullets broke the skylight and exploded the unprotected head of the pilot, the train shifted off course causing the marine to quickly gain his footing or risk being thrown off the tram.

"I should have thought out this 'plan' more..." whispered Arjun

The train began to go off course, twisting and turning as it hovered along the sandy dunes of the planet over the horizon came one of the hundreds of needles covering the planet's surface.

The unpiloted train made no effort of derailing off its path again to avoid the mountain, with collision in mere seconds Arjun walked to the side of the train watching the small details rush past him in milliseconds; he took a deep breath and jumped off the side of the train.

His shock absorbing armor softened the land for the marine as he rolled across the landscape, Arjun flailed in the air as he continued to bounce up and down until he slammed into a large sand dune.

Arjun got up slowly from the impact only to be forced back from the shockwave caused by the run-away Carrier. The hundred ton machine exploded into a vast orange fireball, the mountain collapsed under itself onto the destroyed tram crushing the burning remains shrapnel littered the surrounding area some flying into other needles and bringing them down as well.

The opaque smoke cloud darkened the sky alerting several VALOR drop ships to the area, more marines began to land on site looking for the slim chance of survivors as Arjun wrestled his way out of the sand dune.
