Note: sorry if the photos don’t really match up with the story, I took these before finishing them so yeah.
We advanced quickly blasting through what remained of the Covenant like a hot knife through butter. We had pushed them back a hundred miles by day's end. Me and the rookie had the second watch and by the time we got there the first guards had already left. We stood there for about an hour, Ribbs trying to get a conversation out of me. I was only half paying attention when I heard a crack somewhere in no man's land. Immediately I leveled my rifle and motioned for Ribbs to do the same. “Advance and be recognized!” Silence. Just when I was about to unpin a grenade a loud rough voice shouted “ Help! We need help!” I held back Ribbs before he could rush out of the trench. ”What’s the code!” I replied. Again silence. Then a few low gruff voices started talking. They were speaking brute. I quickly motioned for Ribbs to sound the alarm as I unpinned a grenade and threw it over the top. It exploded in a nearby crater. A few feet away from where the grenade landed a fox hole flashed alive with gun fire. By then the alarm was ringing full blast and we were soon joined by about platoons worth of men. After that it was fairly easy taking out the raiding party. A few days after the ordeal, the war ended.
Coming up next, The End ...?
