The Ghoul to the left of the leader's head separated from his jaw thanks to a laser beam fired from Sharpie's rifle. The leader grabbed his fallen partners laser rifle and took up a position behind the remains of a ruined pillar with his remaining non-feral lackey.

"Those bastards, they got Raz."
"Calm down Kevin, we can't let them shake us."
"But Dion we can't just let'em...

Dion put his hand around Kevin's mouth and held on tight enough to send pain through the Ghoul's decaying nerves, he then released his grip and slapped Kevin across the face.

"Just shut up and make sure we don't get ambushed by a Tin can with something to prove."

Kevin put his back to Dion and readied his laser rifle. He spotted two Outcasts he identified as Initiate's and lined up a shot but waited on firing. No point in wasting ammo he thought, let my feral brothers work for their dinner.

Dion poked his head around the pillar to scan the battle field. He was trying to find where the shot that killed Raz had come from, and that is when he saw Sharpie slapping in a hot power cell into a Laser Rifle who's barrel was flaring molten red from near constant fire. A small Fire team had formed around the soldier. Dion ducked back behind the relative safety of the pillar and pushed a button soldered onto his Recon armor which caused 20 of the Ferals nearest him to stop and look directly at him. With two fingers Dion pointed at Sharpie's Fire team and the pack of Ferals rushed towards the soldiers.


On the other side of the yard Sparks, David, and the Rookie were attempting to stand their ground but were forced to be in a constant state of slow retreat, leaving a trail of smoldering, headless, and the knife ridden ghouls in their wake.

"Sir.." The Rookie spoke up after decapitating a Ghoul with his combat knives "I'm no master tactician but we can't keep retreating like this."

Sparks let the trigger off the Flamer and started to screw away at the fuel intake line "I know, I know" He cleared the intake hose and kicked a Ghoul away from he before he lite it up.

"Sir?" He sunk another knife into a Feral skull, forcing him to pull another blade form his leg holster.

"Give me a second." Sparks said as he bashed a Ghoul with the butt of the Flamer arm. He began to scan the greater whole of the battlefield and saw the Feral pack break necking it across the yard toward Sharpie's Fire team.

Sparks, David, and the Rookie all bumped the edge of the concrete wall, slow retreat was no longer possible. "Can't stay here anymore Sir.." he said with a tremble in his voice. 'Damn it' Sparks thought as he tightened up the safety belts on the Flamer. 'Hate running with this thing'.

"See that Fire team, across the bailey." He pointed, and they nodded. "On my mark we break for their location and do not stop until we join up with them."

Pulling a grenade from his ammo belt Sparks yanked the pin out and threw the Frag into the middle of a group of Ghouls. 3... 2... 1... The grenade went off sending ghoul body parts flying

"MARK!"
