Dias Cato -- Ranger Station Omega outskirts
Praetorian Falcon aimed through his scope, "As soon as I fire, charge."
Nodding, Dias pulled out his Scoped M4, and set his sights on a younger ranger, oblivious to the moving shadows that were to take his life. Dias heared a single gunshot, one ranger crumpled to the ground, blood spurting. Immediately, the rangers ran into their positions, rifles at the ready.
"CHARGE, for the Legate!" Roared Praetorian Falcon pulling out the talons and running towards the Ranger Station.
Dias fired, and shot one Ranger. He strapped the rifle to his back, then sprinted towards the Ranger Station. Hiding behind a large boulder, Dias brew his roman gladius, gripped tightly in his palm. Looking towards the contubernia, a few young leginaries wre picked off by the rangers, a bloody pink mist replacing a head.
"Show them no mercy, burn them all!" Roared Praetorian Falcon, decapitaing a ranger, his legion uniform soaked in blood.
"AVE! TRUE TO CAESAR!" Yelled Dias at the very top of his lungs.
He ran forwards, roman gladius in hand. A renger his age pointed to him, her words screaming, "The Decanus! The Decanus!"
But the other Rangers were too busy with their own fight. The brunette whipped out her Colt 45, and fired. The bullet clipped and bit into the flesh of his shoulder. Dias swung the butt of the Roman gladius to her jaw, her head snapping back. The ranger wobbled, then got her balance back, and pulled out her combat knife.
"A fight with blades now, I see?" He chirpped.
The ranger was faster with a blade. She danced around, and swung her knife to Dias' throat. He stepped back, spun around the ranger grabbed her by the hair, and dug his gladius into her throat. She gurgled, choking on her own blood. The blade had implaed her windpide, and blood was rushing into her lungs. Blood flooded from her mouth and nose, her eyes staring up to his with pure fear. Dias smiled back, his face the last she will see.
Dias slid his blade out, and spun around to face a ranger, pointing his shotgun to Dias' head.
"You bastard!" The ranger snapped, "You bastard!"
Dias cocked his head to one side, "You hesitate. You are weak." A legionary never hesitates, a legionary acts. Dias chuckled to see the ranger go down, a string of blood erupted from his throat. Dias craned his head around, and gave the young legionary that saved his life a thumbs up. Bending down to pick up the shotgun, Dias fired, hiding and ducking behind buildings.
Dias saw a blood trail, leading behind the trailers. He followed it, hiding so no shots were to him. The blood trail led to a wounded but alive ranger. The ranger pulled out his pistol, aimed briefly and fired. Nothing happened. The pistol clicked, the ranger wimpered, his lips quivering.
A sinister smile spread across the face of Dias. He aimed the shotgun to the ranger's throat and pulled the trigger. No shot were fired. Crap. A look of relief washed over the ranger. The ranger's eyes darted to behind Dias. Dias whipped around to feel the butt of a rifle hit his temple. Dias fell to the ground in a heap, woozy and dizzy. The redhead ranger that hit him helped up the fallen one, then began kicking him.
Through the pain, he heard the words, "take him alive." The words were followed by a shriek and meaty crunch. Dias slowly opened his eyes to see the throat of the redhead cut so deep, the head almost fell off. The fallen ranger from before had his neck broken, and behind them stood two brutish legionaries.
"Thanks." Dias nodded towards them, "I owe you one." He wobbled back to his feet, the heat of the battle washing over him.
