We have been wandering through the desert for three damn days... our strength diminishing quickly. My fire team had crash landed on an unexplored area of mars. We had been flying to the buried city when unexpectedly our ships stopped... Just -blam!-ing stopped and plummeted towards the ground below. The hunter sustained a bad head injury and the warlock can barely walk from numerous leg injuries. I myself was not injured as badly because of my thick armor, but I have a dislocated shoulder. The constant sandstorms only make matters worse. We have to stay very close to ensure that we do not get separated. Hours go by, without and end suddenly the hunter stops and looks through his damaged rifle scope. "The Buried City," he says. It's our only chance. We might find meds and a place to rest. We press forward. Soon the warlocks legs give out and the hunter and I help support his weight. Painstakingly we reach the outskirts of the city. My fireteam can't go on. We need to stop in one of the buildings. The hunter offers to go look for meds. I stay behind with the warlock. Hours pass, and the hunter doesn't return. The warlock is getting worse. I leave him with his gun. A risk, but there is no choice. It doesn't take long to find the hunter. He is impaled to a wall in the center of the city. I stare in horror at his body. My friend and ally... Dead... I don't know what killed him, but I need to return to the warlock! I run as fast as my damaged body can. I rush into the building and see the warlock resting. I tell him the news... He stands shakily and grabs his gun. We come to an agreement and I grab mine... Then the wall caves in... I am thrown against the wall and covered by debris. I see the warlock being lifted by a tall figure... But it isn't Cabal... Or fallen... Or hive... It's something else... Something much worse. I see the warlock pulled away and my consciousness fails. I awake in a dark room. Stuck to a wall with a dark sticky substance. Next to me I see the warlock. Then comes a slithering noise, and the [i]thing[/i] appears right in front of me. It then grabs my shoulder with its foul limbs and wrenches it! I scream in agony. The wail gives the thing a sense of satisfaction. It then goes to the warlock. I know what is coming... The thing watches me then rips the warlock from the wall. He watches me sadly as the is stabbed through the heart by the beasts barbed tail. In my helmet I shed a single tear. I know my time is coming now... No one will ever know how we died here, or how much danger they are in from this horrific demon. This is my last thought as my life is ended.
