Gray

Chapter 4

Well, now that we've seen the massive horde of Stalkers rumbling towards us, you can imagine our faces. Gray whipped the cube out from his pack and practically punched it. It flared white and the screen appeared. The monsters let out an ear shattering screech as they increased their speed. The ship suddenly appeared in the dust as Gray threw the cube back in his pack. We all climbed inside and Lime pulled out a remote detonator. We got strapped into our seats and Gray nodded at Lime.

The monsters were Literally feet away from the ship as Lime activated the Beam. There was a split second of time before we lifted off the ground. So I looked out the window, and All I saw was whiteness.

Then we were gone.

We reappeared in some sort of building. The bluish light emitted from the walls lit the room with a comfortable glow. The ceiling was rather high, being almost fifteen feet above my head. The whole building was made out of an interesting plastic-type material. After we had left the ship, we walked toward the center of the room, and a small coffee table and a few couches rose out of the floor.

We sat down and Grey launched into a huge explanation about everything that had happened since we had left my house.

In short, the Stalkers were the remnants of Govahn's army. Govahn was the leader of the rebellion against the Alliance, and apparently he had taken over the Alliance's outpost's on the planet that the Alliance had previously held. Gray and Lime currently knew nothing about the whereabouts of the remnants of the Alliance, if it even still existed.

The beam had been a last resort option for if at any time had the rebellion sought to release the Stalkers. If anyone had, for that matter. It basically is a special laser that incinerates the stalkers skin, but passes harmlessly through everything else. But once it was used, it could not be used again for the next year, due to the immense amounts of power it required.

So when he had appeared in the woods that morning, he had just left Lime in the bunker with The beam. It had been powering up when he left, and she was supposed to keep low until it was finished. Then she would meet up with me and Gray back at my house.

But the stalkers found her first.

Gray fell silent, indicating that Lime should speak. She sunk further into the plush couch and began. It was just a small platoon, and she took them out swiftly and quietly. But not before a distress signal was sent back to wherever their HQ was. She waited for almost a whole hour before more showed up. It was just a few more small platoons, and they were obviously quickly thrown together. When she sighted down the scope of her silenced sniper rifle, they were disoriented and bickering. Easy prey for a sniper.

But right behind them was the whole army. She immediately picked up the messaging system that Gray had left her and a heavy MG. She sent out her own distress signal and had started to pour laser fire at the front ranks of the writhing horde of Stalkers. That was when we had abruptly changed course and appeared in the bunker moments later. We knew the rest, so she sat back. The room was silent for a minute, the only sound being a faint rumble in the distance.
