Chapter 76. Come Back to Me, Come Back for Me (1)

2020, August 18th. Imperium, Warlanda

Needles of water raining down upon them. The heavens have been open for days now. Still fires rage on and streams of blood reign supreme. And there’s no end. Just no end. Faceless figures surround her. No matter how many she kills, they just keep coming. She ran out of bullets long ago. Somehow she’s still standing. Tired, hungry, body aching, drenched in blood. Want to give in, let a bullet, explosion, something take her, but it’s not just her. Dependants. Someone is screaming for help. Always someone else to help.

Hooded figure in a cloak. Relief. Let it go. It’s over now. Bullet straight through the heart.

Nothing.

She doesn’t even bleed.

Unkillable.

Pure skill.

The First Soldier.

The figure in the cloak unveiled herself. Mother. Save me, mother. Oh I’m in agony. No more, mommy. Don’t you see it? I’m dying mommy, don’t you see? Why won’t you save me?
