Flame of valor

Justin had looked into deaths eyes before, it never changed. The beings always wanted destruction of their enemy. The shatter skins had a rare ability to manipulate the mind and will of the ones they faced.

They never gave up and they never stopped moving.

With that combination they were able to over throw the top elites of many different races in only a day and a half.

That loss caused the humans to lose the main part of the war and they had to call in all the retired elites.

The shatter skin ran like lightning hitting justin in the gut. His blood red armour broke under the impact spreading cracks throughout his chest piece. He looked down seeing the cracks and a huge hole. Blerghh spitting up blood he glared angrily into the creatures eyes. YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT! Justin screamed as he lunged forward unsheathing his sword.

7,598 light years away

I was sitting at the computer when the video started playing from Aneli's body cam justin was single handedly fighting a shatter skin. Interesting I thought to myself as I watched Justin get hammered again and again. Commander, a voice interrupted my thoughts. looking behind me I see Hector. Commander we have a problem of our own sir.

wha-- BANG! Out of no where the ships hull melted and the alarm started blaring. Hector report!

decor 3 and sector 5 have major hull damage our shields are locking in the air for now but I don't know how long that will last sir! Mitch what hit us?!

I don't know sir they are moving to fast all I had time to see were eight wings.

Donovan! SIR! Go get Monica now!

Hector divert the secondary engine to shields, and the back up power to weapons charge the main canon and have the proton Canons ready for suppressive fire!

Sir! Yes Sir.

Commander! Monica reporting.

What are we up against Monica? The damned things melted the hull of our ship!

Sir. I I may be blunt from the video surveillance it looks to be a murder of Gamptid.

What the hell is a Gamptid?

Sir! Mitch interrupted I killed one and it landed in cargo bay 3!

Good going thank you! I'll think I'll go take a look.

Mitch shut that alarm up will you! I yell as I'm leaving the bridge.

Sir!

when the alarm goes silent we all hear the ominous roar of wings out side the hull. I think to myself who in their right mind would believe that things could traverse the vacuum of space...

Commander. Monica's voice brought me back to what we were doing I didn't realize we were already at Bay 3.

opening the door I draw my 403. MRK 9-B

(standard focus. round fed pistol)

The beast was laying half alive on the floor of bay 3 still full of fight but in able to do anything.

Sir! breaking the silence Hector called over my communicator. They seem to be retreating should we persue?

Negative, focus on getting us to the repair ship we have two major hull breaches that will put us two and a half months behind.

Sir!

for two hours we looked over and examined every part of the dying creature. it was strangely beautiful yet also exceedingly creepy.

Now that that's-- BOOM! Another explosion rocked the ship launching it to the left immediately I press my communicator for Hector.

Sir! THEY ARE ATTACKING AGAIN!

Fire the proton Canons and throw all right side thruster to full and get us stable I yell while trying to hold onto the wall rail. Monica put your helmet on I'm gonna open the bay shields and let that thing out it may be dead but they may be after it. Yes Commander!

As soon as I open these shields get to safety!

3...2...1! The Gamptid body shot out of the bay like a torpedo along with the three crates of supplies in the bay. Boom. another explosion this time however we finally stopped moving. Looking into the bay I notice black smoke billowing from the wall and black ooze with green specks dripping as it melted through the metal hull. Fuck I think to myself. if I was allowed to use my powers we wouldn't be in this fucking mess. rushing back to the bridge I get on the long range com link. Justin. change of plans I need you back here Now!

Back on the battle field Justin had just finished slaying the last shatter skin when he received the distress call from Micheal to return.

Aneli we need to leave he yelled across the field to her.

Aneli We need to leave No- Aneli shot forward like a bolt of lightning skewering Justin to the ground blood dripping from her eyes. It was too obvious what had happened. looking around justin spotted the last surviving shatter skin. It glared at him with fiery eyes and flicked it's finger. Aneli pushed even harder. Blerrggg. coughing up more blood justing activated his sacrifice blood mark causing black flames to pour out of his wounds AAAARRRRRRGGGHHH! Letting out a loud yell of anger the flames shot to the shatter skin assimilating into a small knife it pierced through the shatter skins head. Aneli loosed her grip collapsing to the ground. Justin looked down at his chest. This sucks, he thought as he pulled the sword out of his chest. It only managed to go about six inches deep before the mark took over. I'm sorry you are not awake so this will suck when you wake up. picking up aneli Justin vanished.
