Just why did it feel so wrong?
Ranma shook his head and banished his moment of doubt. This was war and the guard was the enemy. It had to be done
Ranma fought down the bile in his throat, and he pulled the trigger.
BANG!
The guards face plate cracked and was splattered a brilliant crimson as the bullet hit the guard in the face. With a dull thud, the guard fell to the ground, forever still.
One shot. One kill.
Ranma stuttered slightly. Nothing. He had just taken a human life, and he felt nothing.
Down the corridor two more guards charged weapons blazing. Ranma retured fire and killed them both.
He’s looked down at the pistol and shrugged. He’d always been taught that guns were a coward’s weapon.
Maybe, but they were damn effective.
“DIE MINER!”
Ranma flipped around and cursed. A guard was charging him with a Control Baton. Damn the Envirosuit! He couldn’t hear shit in it, and the guard had just snuck up on him! Nothing he could not handle, but yet another reason to hate the rank thing.
BANG!BANG!
The Guard fell fowared and landed on the ground with a skid. Standing behind the now cooling body was one of his fellow miners, a man named Parker.
Parker and he both arrived at the same time and had been assigned to literally the same bunk. Despite the conditions, or maybe because of them, they had become friends.
“You okay, Satotome?” Parker asked.
Ranma nodded. “Yeah.” He looked at the body and shrugged. “Thanks for the save.”
Parker cursed and pointed his gun up the shaft and more incoming guards. Ranma swung around and the two of them opened fire. The guards died in a mess of blood and screams. Almost immediately, he and his friend began to pat the courses down for anything of use. Both of them pocketed a couple of spare clips and a shack baton battery.
“This is too messed up,” Parker remarked.
Ranma nodded. “Yeah. So, what are you going to do?”
Parker grinned. “I heard that some of the miners are stealing a shuttle back to Earth.”
Ranma blinked. “Really?”
Parker nodded. “If we hurry up we could get there…”
Ranma looked to his friend, and thought for a moment…
