The Sentinel Fulcrum, 13: Takedown
16 Dec 2021Meowers
So, I was walking through another corridor... Then, all of a sudden, two armed men appeared. They were hiding behind the door in one of the bulkheads. And they opened fire. Instantly. Shit! With almost nowhere to hide, I was in the plain sight. Shit...It was an ambush. One pistol, one automatic carbine. How did they get there...
I had to retreat..Firing a short burst at the door did nothing, except some deep burn marks, they jumped back instantly..Hiding behind some airlock door frame, I looked at the shield indicator, took some shots..Damn, sixty three already... And I can't hide completely, they were still firing. Crap, another hit...
"Shit! Creamy, I'm under attack here! Armed hostiles in the ship! Seeing two, could be more!"
Damn, they were no your typical ragtag army or military jarheads... Modified weapons, accuracy, all that crap..And another hit.. Every time I tried to fire at them, they were hiding, and..uh, I was too slow with the big rifle in that narrow corridor. Should I..pin them down? Crap! Creamy was unarmed! How the..Crap! If they had a ship, they could attack Marshmallow! Hm, wrist computer..Her shields are still full, str..Crap, another hit..fourty seven...
I was under serious pressure here and should plan a counterattack. But I had to pin them down before that..Unfolding the bipod, I've jumped forward, ignoring the shots, to lay down on the floor. Then a long burst. Suppressive fire. Still no hits, but bulkhead was severely damaged, door was blown off the hinges. I could just punch through with a sheer firepower, killing everyone behind the cover, but...Not enough ammo for that, the bulkheads were reinforced. Crap, then they threw a grenade at me..
I've jumped back as fast as possible..Then, bang. I've closed my eyes..Only to see a piercing white light. It was a flashbang grenade..So..They're trying to capture me? Bring it on, you shits! Landing on the floor again, I've aimed quickly and made another long burst, hitting the bulkhead. It was, like, thirty metres between us. So, they threw another flashbang, forcing me to put my head down and close my eyes, and I've squeezed the trigger, hoping to hit at least something..Then another flashbang from one of them, and a carbine burst, shit, shields are down, I had to retreat quickly, but, I was almost blind.
I stood up from the floor and tried to run backwards, keeping them under fire..Until I felt that piercing pain in my right arm, just above the elbow..Crap, the rifle recoil..
Another hit, in the stomach..And several flashbang grenades..
Damn it..
Come on, hit at least someone..Damn, out of ammo..
Can't reload..can't see...
Put the rifle on my back again and took the pistol..another flash..Shit..
Hit in the shoulder..Fff..Painful, damnit..Argh..I've coughed..Damn, smells like blood..
"Creamy, shit..Bad, really.."
Emptied an entire mag blindly, just..somewhere at the direction...
They grabbed my arms, both..Fff..Another shot, right leg, just point blank..My armour is good, but still..this is..too...much...
When I was able to see at least something, it was..Those two armed men holding me, hah, one had a burn mark on the armour..On the torso. If only I could hit him once more..Second had a blood leaking from his arm, but still nothing serious. And a third one, standing in front. Their boss, perhaps... Looking into my eyes..Ah, come on. What..Damn..Those blood drops inside the helmet, can't see them well enough..Yeah, come on, suckers..
Shit..Everything in that red haze and floating drops..blurred..shit..painful, goddammit...
