LeonXIII

L mounts his sniper rifle on a broken wall. Quickly searching the battlefield, he sees a woman fighting the Strogg. Holding his breath to steady his aim, he looks through the scope and starts firing away, picking off the Strogg one by one where the woman stood. Thwang!
Empty. He reaches in one of his chest pockets and takes out a mag of explosive rounds. Slamming it into the ammo slot and takes aim at a cluster of Strogg taking cover. BOOM! Blood, limbs, whole bodies, and debris fly into the air. Figuring that the woman was safe enough, he continues scanning the battlefield, picking off any Strogg that was in his crosshair.

"Daddy, I'm scared!" whimpered Camille.
"It's already, baby, daddy will make the bad men go away. For now, stay with grandma and grandpa until I come back," L said, staring into his daugther's eyes.
"Don't go daddy!" Camille pleaded, tears running down her cheeks. L takes her head into his hands, using his thumbs to wipe off the tears. Bringing her head forward, he kisses her forehead. " Daddy will be back, I promise." He looks to his parents.
"Be careful, son," his dad said. He picks up Camille and hands her to his mom.
"Take care of her." Kissing his mom and hugging his dad, he then unclips the hanging straps on his chest. Flattening it, he inserts his sniper rifle into one of the straps, locking it in place, and does the same thing with his assault rifle. Pulling the straps past his arms, he locks the clips together across his chest. Picking up his pistol, he secures it into his holster at his hip. Taking one last look at his only family, he steps outside the house.
To think this day had to come so soon, he thought to himself. Running to his Husky, he pulls his leg over the side and starts the engine. I'll come back Camille, I promise...
