I was left with two Pvt's One was pretty stupid about his weapon, I mean how would you not know that your weapon was lethally enough to kill a grunt, or an Elite? I guess because we were scared enough not know ever since we came to this Space Station.
See...we have been stuck on this station for a week now having to feed on our rations and having fun with just our data pads, unless we were getting so bored that our guns looked mighty friendly. Pvt. Richard was so bored on Tuesday that he decide to shoot off his pinky because "they" called it pinky and it seemed weird to him that he decide to. Luckily I stopped him from doing that, Pvt. Foster was the only smart one between us. He was the one to find out this was a lab filled with odd creatures that would soon kill us if wouldn't get off this hunk of metal.
Well me I think I would just change my name to Kepp easy enough to remember from being so bored out of our minds. "Come on guys lets find a way out of this place because I'm seriously in need for some real food and entertainment" Foster said having his Shotgun loaded and ready for any REAL danger. I got my pistol and my assault rifle then roughly grabbed Pvt. Richard by the arm and getting him up to his feet. "Alright...alright lets go before I myself die of boredom." I said in a hurry while I grabbed my pack and ran up to Foster who thinks he was leading this whole escape thing.
It was two hours since we left our camp site on the space station, we found nothing interesting. Until we ran into a cargo hold. "Wait lets not go in, it could be filled with covenants or worse..." I was cut off when Foster began shooting in the pitch black in the cargo hold. "Ah holy crap!" I shouted when something screamed, I turned on my torch light on the Assault Rifle and began shooting but nothing was there. A screech in the air filled us with fear, a monster looking alien crawled up the walls and spitted out acid. I shot it in the head, "Head shot baby!" as soon as I yelled out the words four covenants came out with their one Hunter having a spear looking stick. Richard was the first to run at them but he was soon cut in half by the spear even though it was not it was more of a double edge electric sword. Foster threw a grenade into the pile of covenants. It blew but the hunter lived, ' Impossible ' I thought in amazement. The hunter charged at Foster and killed him with a single blow. I shot my assault rifle with full clip at the Hunter, straight between the eye's. It feel just on my feet, "Ah I need to get the hell out of here!" I screamed in horror as I ran down the tunnel. I continued to hear tapping sounds from behind me. Soon the torch light went dead, I was in the middle of the dark wondering how many of these creatures were around me. I walked back hitting a surface feeling like a window, I turned around seeing the stars. I had one clip in, either I would shoot myself or get the hell out.
Time to figure the answer out, I shot 59 bullets into my front view killing possible 4 creatures. One bullet left in the chamber; I took off the clip to make the weapon more accurate. I turned around facing the window aiming the window. But I decide to get out with a big bang, the creatures were acid based so if I hit the acid that was spitted out it should start a spark. A creature clawed me on the back having my assault rifle thrown to the floor in the pitch black. "Damnit!" I yelled trying to get my rifle back into my hands, I was soon grabbed and thrown into the window having it cracked. I was possible in my own blood on the floor with all this clawed and thrown into stuff. I soon felt my gun, I grabbed it and just shot it anywhere. The bullet flew into the air hitting a creature and passing two other creatures, then it hit the glass having the force of the bullet to break the window. The vacuum of spaced sucked us all into space.
Now your probably wondering I'm dead by now, you could be right. But not so right, I held my breath for just a few seconds. I grabbed out my helmet and placed it on, the fan inside the helmet gave oxygen into my helmet, my body armor was tough enough to withstand the vacuum of space. I floated in space for 2 hours, soon the battery inside the helmet would go dead and so would I.
Another hour passed and I was dangerously low on oxygen, "Alert, Alert Low Battery...Alert Alert Low Battery. Alert Alert..." then my battery was dead and I have two minutes of extra oxygen. I began to blank out, I saw something that grabbed the sun and like threw it away and made it dark again. I was now blanked out.
"The Time is 4:30 A.M. Good morning guest" I heard this beeping sound with the voice saying it. I woke up having on rescued persons clothing on. I turned over turning off the clock or 'Clock-o-bot' an officer walked in greeting himself to me, that time I knew the horror ended there. That was just the beginning of my Endurance.
