Attack
The setting sun cast an orangey glow over the battle torn wasteland, Vehicles looked like ants, and solders just visible, every so often a huge MagiShell would shake the ground, sending impossibly tiny men flying. The wind carried the black smoke of fire and burnt out vehicles off in a massive black plume. The Magniscreen flickered, distorting the picture for a few seconds, Miles above the battle ground, the light battle cruiser, Crucifix, hovered, watching the battle, Hunter First Class Silverblade pulled the lever, zooming in to focus the magniscreen on the leader of the assault, just as he dived into a shell hole.
Battalion commander, Lieutenant colonel Rocky Jones flung himself into the small crater; above his head bullets flew by, peppering the ground he had been on micro seconds before, two more infantry men from 3rd platoon landed next to him, as an EarthPounder shell landed close by, sending vast amounts or earth, shrapnel and magica residue 20 meters in the air. 5th battalion,' The Storm Bulls' had been charged to take the enemy encampment by night fall, a task that seemed to be getting less and less possible.
Crawling to the edge of the crater, Jones surveyed the battlefield, about 30 meters away was an autogun, its multiple barrels a blur of fire and death. Behind him was the remainder of the battalion, behind wrecked vehicles, verges, craters or just lying down to escape the worst of the hell fire upon them.
Jones grabbed his rifle and carefully took aim, he squeezed the trigger and the ammo cylinder spun, peppering the autogun crew. With relief Jones saw that the rounds had hit home, slaughtering the two man crew.

Six meters to go, four, band, Jones felt a sharp pain and spun round, his world went black
