Turn 3: Drinks and Cigarettes

[bullet]

Tomala had switched to combat mode and picked up rocks from the rubble and started throwing rocks while sticking to cover '' Damn strogg you aint takin my legs this time!'' Tomala said.

[Cartwright]

"Keep your bloody head down, private!"

[Mr. Death]

Godchild was behind a wall as the Strogg poured through the streets. He popped out and clothes lined one of them. He then proceeded to jump on it and strangle it to death. After ripping the steroid inducing tubes from its neck, he grabbed its weapon. Another two Strogg were bull rushing him. Two shots, one in each of their necks was enough to drop them.

"Bad boo koo. . ." He said as he took cover again. He looked at Shadow.
"Hayek" He said, tossing the assault rifle to him

"You're better off with it. . .I'll get the first aid kit from the back, and do me a favor, find me another fucking gun!" He said and ran into the back.

The flames were hot, but he managed to find a decently inventoried medical kit. He found what looked to be the bar keeper's book bag. He stuffed the medical kit in there. Now he could do his job again.

As he made his way back out to the front of the bar, he hoped Shadow had found him a gun. . .He was not only the medic, but an experienced soldier, he needed a gun.

Tomala yelled '' Ill keep my head down sir if anyone finds a fucking spare gun toss it here.'' Tomala needed something to return fire he wasnt trying to get his legs ripped off again or worst.

[Cartwright]

"Mr. Death, catch!" Hayek yelled, throwing him an assault rifle.

Shadow popped out of cover and fired a burst into a Strogg Soldier's chest. Then another into the head of a Brute. A rocket flew by and impacted the van they had driven and it went up in flames.

"Damn it!" Hayek exclaimed, firing in full automatic now.

[Mr. Death]

Elias was still firing on single shot, conserving ammo.

"LT, think of a plan sir!" He said, popping out and putting two rounds in a Strogg's chest

"Try to do it fast before we all die" He added jokingly

[Cartwright]

"Meyen, throw me your pistol! Now!" The lieutenant said.

Meyen looked at him and relunctantly gave him the weapon after firing two rounds into a Strogg's head. The lieutenant aimed the weapon down an alley next to them and saw a Strogg pop out into the open. He fired two rounds into its chest, one into its head. He grinned as it fell to the floor, lifeless. He then threw the weapon back to Meyen and ran over, grabbing the assault rifle.

"Cover me!" He yelled.

He ran all the way to Private Tomala's position and handed him the assault rifle.

"There is your weapon, now stop bloody bitchin'!" Johnson said, then ran back to Hayek and Meyen.

[Cartwright]

"Just keep firing. Hayek, Meyen, keep fire on the Strogg! Hoot, cover Godchild and continue to lay down fire on the enemy! Everyone without a weapon, slowly begin to pull back when the Strogg are pinned! Let's do this, people!" The lieutenant said, making a rather good plan.

[bullet]

Tomala said '' Thanks sir!'' Tomala began to unleash fire on the closest strogg to him. Conserving his ammo. He was also covering Carrick.

[Mr. Death]

He saw a few civilians writhing on the floor. They could make it. . .Well some of them could, with medical attention, but his job was not to save them, but to stay with the squad. He gave them a longing look for a split second before continuing to fire. If they lived, they'd have God to thank.

"I thought Earth was protected" he shouted as he gunned yet another Strogg down.

[Cartwright]

The Marines that were weaponless began to fall back under the cover of their armed comrades. Everything was going rather well, but instilling to their motto, that would change soon. A rocket flew towards a vehicle near Carrick and Jones. It impacted against the hood and an explosion ensued. The two Marines were thrown forward, shrapnel raining down on the Marines. No injures were sustained aside from some minor bruising. Definitely someone was watching over them.

Suddenly, three Armadillo High Maneauver Mobile Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV, pronounced Hummvee) drived up. The gunners laying down suppressive fire on the Strogg. The Master Sergeant of the small convoy exited his Hummvee and laid down fire on the enemy.

"Looks like you boys could use some help!" The man yelled, "Pile in the Hummvees, NOW!"

The Marines did not need to be told twice. They got into all three Hummvees and they began to move. A rocket was racing towards the front Hummvee, which swerved out of the way. The second did too.

"SHIT! RPG!" The driver of the third said.

It rocket impacted the hood and it exploded. Hoot turned around instantly, and looked out the back window. The Hummvee was on fire. It was going to fully explode any minute. Private Jones was inside.

"Shit! Cover me!" Hoot said and hopped out.

Mr. Death followed him and they opened the back doors and pulled Jones out. Tomala was also inside. They dragged the two to the second Hummvee and got inside. "Drive!" is all Godchild had to say for the convoy to get moving again. The machine gunner downing Strogg left and right and some of the Marines firing out of the windows of the two vehicles.

[Matt]

Meyen was out of ammo, he had only 3 clips with him the whole time including one in the pistol. And the bad thing was that each clip only held 7 rounds.

"Im out of ammo, shit. LT, There is a gun store about 3 blocks or so ahead, i saw it on the drive here." Meyen yelled.

[Cartwright]

"Just hold your fire. Driver, keep driving! Do not stop!" The lieutenant said.

[Shadow]

Hayek growled, "R&R my ass... Can't have R&R when we're not kickin strogg ass.." He checked his ammo... It was enough to take down a good a ammount. "We have any info on this shit?"

[Cartwright]

The Master Sergeant turned around and looked at the Staff Sergeant. He nodded.

"Yeah. A fleet of friendly forces was to arrive tonight or tomorrow morning. Our listening outpost in space passed a shitload of contacts as that fleet. Looks like they were wrong. A Strogg Hyper Gate Teleporter opened up near the moon and Strogg ships poured out. It's a counterattack on our forces. Think their pissed we took Stroggos."
