The Dawgs by Cooper Burton
Chapter 6
Last Free Breath/The Strategy.
I breathed in and out slowly, trying to slow my heart down, I had just vomited all over a blue berry bush, my stomach uneasy about the upcoming fight. I have always been like this so it didn’t worry me. It was almost time for the big meeting, From what ive talked to Beggin and Dunna about, there going to explain the strategy to everyone, and where they will be stationed during the fight, I started making my way to the front of the fort, we were having the meeting out side because all of us couldn’t fit inside the captains room.
When I got there, there was already a crowd I looked around and finally I found CynageN, I have needed to talk to him about something for a bit. I made my way towards him through the gathering crowd, as I walked up to him he made eye contact with me, I nodded to him and he walked towards me. “So… he said, we playing our game?” I laughed, Yeah of course were playing, but it’s got a bit more advanced now. I handed him a small disk, His eyebrows raised but he asked no questions, He put the disk into his arm band and looked over it.” A bounty system?” he asked It works like this I said, the humans a bioderm kills the more his bounty goes up, And the higher the bounty the more money his hide is worth, The military will turn your bounty points into money. My commander Shelly gave us the green light to play this game.
He started smiling,” man I love this game already” he said. Yeah, But the competition is still there, Toe Tag, Ice Dog ,Beggin, Snipeye and A couple more from EWO will be playing with us,” Good I don’t want this to be easy, always better to have competition.” Yeah, just be careful out there, He nodded and started looking through the program more. Finally it looked like everyone that was supposed to be here was here. I saw Dunna up on the Ledge over looking the front of the base, with him were, Lone Wolf, BadAzz, Icedog, Beggin and Commander Shelly. After a bit everyone stopped talking, after a deep breath Dunna started. “Well, guys it goes like this, all of us here make 237, Men and Women. With the help of Commander Shelly, here we have made a guestimation on the amount of bioderms.
We think they number about 500 to 700, But! We have confirmed they have no heavy’s at all, We can only guess that they wanted to move fast, they have no vehicles at all either, This is news that will greatly advance our chance of survival, they have the numbers but were fighting for our lives! The life’s of our family’s! Today, we show the other great tribes that starwolf’s LIVE ON!” Everyone started yelling and celebrating like we had already won. As Dunna moved back, Beggin came forward, and spoke, “I came up with a strategy for defending the base and living, he said having the MaMs, here really gave the strategy a concrete base, More than half our forces will go Medium Armor to support the MaMs. The MaMs will equip shield packs and stand in front while the other mediums will Nade the bioderms from the back, when the shield packs run out the other mediums will jump in front and grapple with the bioderms, when there ready they will move to the front again and we will start over, While there doing that were going to have our best heavy’s stand atop the base and mortar the enemy lines from a safe distance, Were going to have 20 people stationed in the generator room, its such a small room they will easily be able to defend it with that number.
There will be a number of light armors, our best fighters up in front, they have been hand picked by there Clan leaders, IF we have to sound a retreat, everyone will fall back to the fort, we will barricade ourselves inside the fort, where we can fight hold them off in close corridor fighting.” Around me all was quite, I couldn’t tell if they liked it or not until, they started clapping, everyone shaking there heads in agreement, it seems like the best plan we could come up with in a short time period. After all the talking died down, Commander Shelly moved forward, “I have more good news from HQ, General Maximus, is personally coming to our aid, he’s Bringing 500 of his own him, As we speak there loading up, but there a long way off, Hopefully they will be here before sundown tomorrow, but there is chances it may be longer” She said.
This is good news I thought to myself. By now the moon was out and it was the only light we had, Dunna stepped forward one more time and said. “Well, that is the best we can do, I know we will make it too see tomorrow’s full moon, now every one! Make peace with your self, and sleep for tomorrow, we fight for our life’s!”
I left the main group of people and found a spot atop the fort I could lean against and see the valley apon which the bioderms would be coming from, after an hour or so silence over took the fort, and I found sleep.
Minutes later it seemed I awoke, I knew it had to be Longer because the moon was almost gone, in the distance I heard the sounds of bombs being dropped and the angry screams of what could only be Bioderms.
