5 Do or Die (2/2)

Captain Hart had very recently been promoted as Commander of this small reconnaissance ship. He had only four squads of foot soldiers and his bridge crew. So losing 1 squad to a man alone was already an insult to him. Now he had lost a second one.

Every man he lost, he would have to explain to his superiors, since he should not engage troops in combat at all. His mission being reconnaissance, he had thought he needed to find out if there was a base nearby, which could be a major discovery. But what he had found was not a base, but a man alone. He had taken upon him the decision to take him down and sent another squad after him. Now he was 2 squads down and the man was still alive and well.

Fuming from inside, Captain Hart was now considering going down there himself to punish the insolent fool. Looking up from his screens, he glared at his crew.

'' Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill all of you myself. ONE GOOD REASON!!! ''

'' Sir we can send our 2 remaining squads to end this lone human. ''

Smacking the imbecile who dared talk back to him with his back hand, he watched him fly off his chair and skid across the room, before hitting the wall and losing all his air.

* SSSKK * * THUD *

'' HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE!!! ''

The Captain was now angered beyond imagination. He was weighing out the option of killing his own men and just leaving them here to rot.

'' The man has already killed 2 squads. AND YOU IMBECILE WANT TO SEND OUR LAST 2 !!? ''

Walking to the man, who was now getting up, he punched him in the face, lightning streaking across his fist.

* BANG *

He almost killed the man instantly. Ordering 2 of his men to carry the fool to the infirmary, he decided he had enough. He was going down there himself.

Back on the ground, Henry was stealing another knife off his latest victim. Back with 2 knives again, he was going to keep running towards his shelter, he stole a new rifle and jetpack off these 2 goons, not wanting to go back to where he left his previous bounty. As he turned to leave, he heard a booming voice in the sky, towards the ship.

'' Come out you coward!!! I know you're there!!! Come face your death like a man, if you call yourself one!!! ''

He could hear the vanity and arrogance in the man's tone. Not knowing why this man wanted to challenge him so badly, he asked the System to scan him.

'' Figure appears to be class C Tamarain fighter. ''

'' Okay. What can a class C do with his ability that a class F can't. ''

'' Class C fighters are the first level of fighters that can externalize the current in their gland. Only a small part can be brought out, making them capable of coating a part of their body with electricity. ''

'' Hmm. I'm better off not fighting him then. ''

Turning towards his cave again, he began to run away. Soon were his movements caught by the Tamarain, as he gave chase not long after. Seeing the dot on the radar get closer at a blazing speed, Henry became terrified.

'' How can he be so fast!!! ''

'' Tamarain officer has boosted power in his legs with the aid of electricity, permitting him to move past his limitations and gain momentary speed burst. ''

'' FUCK! So you're saying I HAVE to fight him? ''

'' Affirmative, as chances of escape are at 0% ''

'' Well FUCK ME!!!! Fine. Plot me a course of action. This is gonna be a tough one. It's life or death, DON'T... FUCK...UP! ''

'' Affirmative ''
