I shook as the impact hit, I saw the destruction fly and I leapt towards the ground, no one else did. Before I knew it I felt a shockwave, William had let a nuclear shell out of his tank, I saw all of my men's legs break as they fell to the ground, screaming in pain. But, just after, they stopped as the real force hit them, as I lay there I felt the force go over me, then under me. I went flying back 4 metres and I hit a nearby lamp post, I felt dazed and my vision started to go white.
I shook myself and I tried to move, my legs were crippled, damaged dangerously, I limped over to the tank and I realised the hatch had been seriously damaged. I climbed the tank, it was painful but I made it to the top, I quickly yelled out, "William, get away from the hatch!" I pressed a button on my power armor and I didn't feel any difference.
But I knew there would be.
I brought my fist up and I slammed it into the hatch, it caved in, I raised my fist again and I brought it down once more. The whole hatch moved inwards and fell into the tank, I reached my hand in and I dragged William up, I had noticed the fires on the tank and I knew that unless we got out, we were both dead. After I'd brought William up I quickly switched the button off on my armor, I looked at the man and I nodded, I jumped off the tank.
After I hit the ground, the last remaining force in my legs gave way and I fell to the ground in pain, my legs were broken. I looked at William and I grimaced, "Get out of here William, quickly, before you get blown up. Don't even THINK about trying to drag me off, just get out of here, get to safety," I grumbled out before I felt a blinding flash of pain which destroyed half my view. I pushed out my arms and I started crawling away from the wreckage, I felt no one with me.
I looked back just in time for the explosion, it detonated with such force I went flying back a metre, into a wall, this time, head first. I heard a crunch in my neck and I gasped in pain, I'd read about people breaking their spine and never being able to walk again... I tried to find the energy to move, but I couldn't even test to see how badly hurt I was. I fell into the deep abyss of sleep.
