Bella swore and gritted her teeth as she slipped and started skidding down a steep bluff. With a grunt she slammed into the ground. However she rolled with her momentum and was up and running in the blink of an eye. She checked the ammo reader on her assault rifle. Not good. Barely a clip left.
"Echo unit! Echo unit this is Echo five! I have been cut off from you! Please advise! Numerous hostile infantry units are heading my way and I am low on ammo....Echo unit do you read me?" A hissing sound was all that warned her of a plasma grenade incoming. She went on instinct and rolled to the right, just barely avoiding it. The blast however sent her flying. She slammed into a boulder and resisted the urge to scream. Plasma was searing at her armor. Without another option she stripped the chest plate off and threw it. Her outer BDU was melted to the plate, so she stripped down to her tank top and kept running.
"...cho five...espond...five..you there?" Finally!
"Echo command! This is echo five! Please advise!"
"Echo five....annot retrieve you...opzone too hot...repeat we cannot retrieve you Echo five...we're sorry..echo command out.."
"Shit!" Bella lunged into a mass of dense underbrush. She was screwed. They couldn't get to her, she understood that. But it still sucked. She didn't even have much to fight back with. She ran her fingers through her cropped jet black hair. Her normally striking face was coated with dust and grime. She slowed her breathing and listened. They were closer than she had thought. She could hear...there...that was definitely a Brute...and she could hear Jackals too. She had seen Elites, and intel said more than one Hunter was in the area. Grunts she could take, Jackals maybe, but not Brutes and Elites, not with her firepower.
She cocked her gun to the ready when she heard a branch snap. She couldn't see anything. Optic camouflage? Elites used them all the time. She didn't have much options, go down fighting, or surrender and go down quickly. She did have a grenade left...maybe she could take a few down with her. Fuck it. She tossed her rifle and pulled the pin on her grenade, holding it behind her back as she stood up and called out.
"Hey shit heads! You want me? Fine! Here I am! Just get it over with!" There was a fire in her vivid green eyes as she challenged the enemy to take her life. She was a marine. Her whole life had led up to this, she was ready to die as long as she paid her way to hell in blood.
