"Here They Come"
My eyes widened after hearing about Dylan's loss, Not because we were 1 man down, but because I saw him in his last moments, in pain and in distress, I can't take that image out of my mind, nor do I have the time to mourn as Ashton shouts.
"HERE THEY COME!"
I looked forward, if my eyes weren't fully widened, they were now as I saw an Armored Personnel Carrier and an Infantry Fighting Vehicle move in a single line towards our position, The latter had a smoothbore gun. It was terrifying. I heard Ashton shout some more.
"GET THE L/75, NOW!"
I watched as another squadmate of mine, Charles, slid down and picked up the Anti-Tank Weapon. To the naked eye, It looked like a metal tube, which it technically was, the only difference it had to a metal tube is that it can fire rockets, only one though, you can't reload it, it was a disposable anti-tank weapon, pretty genius to be honest.
Charles set up the Anti-Tank Weapon, He stood up and aimed it at the leading vehicle which was the IFV, After what seemed like an eternity, he shouted.
"CLEAR BACKBLAST."
Followed up by the deafening bang of him clicking down the trigger, the backblast looked powerful, kicking back so much dirt and smoke. Charles threw the now useless launcher away and jumped back into the trench. His shot landed on the IFV which caused its track to be destroyed. It turned right and landed in a ditch just in front of our trench. The hatch of the turret opened, then emerged was the commander or gunner of the IFV, Who fired his Assault Rifle at us, Causing us to duck down, We could hear the screams of the Separatists running out of the IFV. I looked over and saw Prince reach for a grenade, his finger went through the pin which he pulled off, he shouted.
"FRAG OUT!" Which was then followed by him blindly throwing the grenade in the general direction of the now stricken IFV, after a few seconds, the grenade went off which was followed by the moaning of an injured Separatist. Prince and I got up and both started firing at the IFV, suppressing the dismounted Infantry. We looked slightly to the right behind the IFV as we saw the Armored Personnel carrier drop off its Infantry, they used the same vehicles we do. I mistook them for friendlies until they started to shoot at us, a round landing just in front of me, probably about 5 meters or so. Prince and I ducked down as we were now the ones being suppressed. I didn't look at Prince, but I figured he'd know I was talking to him as I shouted.
"FUCKING SHOOT BACK OR ELSE WE'RE DEAD MEN." I raised my rifle as I shot into the trees at the Separatist Infantry who were suppressing us, Prince shooting as well, I only fire off about a dozen rounds as my magazine is empty, I swear under my breath as i slided down, my thumb pressing the release magazine button, the magazine falling onto the dirt. I reached into my flak vest and took out a fresh magazine, pushing it back into the gun, I pulled back the cocking handle and got back to shooting, firing in 3 round bursts. I remember hitting one Separatist.
As I went back to reload, I heard Prince scream, I looked back and saw 2 Separatist's running at me, I kicked one of them away, causing me to slide down.
"FUCKING HELL, SHOOT THIS PIG." I shouted at Prince, urging him to shoot the Separatist. This was followed up by a few gunshots, The Separatist falling down, his friend immediately running out of the trench and hiding behind the opposite end of our former cover. I looked at the Separatist who Prince killed, he looked old, probably in his mid 30s, he had a long brown beard, and he reeked of Alcohol. I reloaded my weapon and picked myself up. I crawled back to our former position, As i crawled up i remembered the Separatist who hid behind our position, I look at Prince and he nods at me, i nodded back, as we reached the top, Prince and i threw our hands over the other side, grabbing onto the Separatist and dragging him into the trench, I heard Ashton's shouts.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO DOING?! JUST KILL HIM!" I don't know what happened to me but I froze, So did Prince. We watched as the Separatist ran out of the trench, only to be shot by one of our own guys. We both picked ourselves up, reloading our rifles and going back up. We both got to the top of our position, firing back. Then, We heard someone shout.
"GRENADE!"
Prince and I looked down to our feet and saw a grenade, we both immediately ran away from our position, the grenade going off, we both threw ourselves to the ground afterwards.
