When I woke up I was in the bed alone. Energy must have gone back to their bed for morning roll call. I got up and made my way outside outside, Energy was right behind me talking to me they said "What made you so scared last night?" "Just a nightmare" "About what" I looked up at Energy "It was silly don't worry about it." She eyed me curiously, they could tell I was lying but they left it alone. We walked back to the showers, Energy got in first and I walked back to my bed. Rockey walked over from his bed and started talking "Hey. " "Hey." "Just came to check on you, Zelda told me you were a beast out there." I smirked "Yeah I guess I was" Rockey sat beside me. "So what made you join?" I sighed "I don't know I guess I just like being helpful, what about you?" "My dad was in here for bit said it was like college all over again." I chuckled. Six started walking over to us. "What are you guys talking about" I responded "Just how fun this has all been." Six chuckled hearing my sarcasm. I looked over seeing someone lave the showers. "Welp, I smell horrible I'm gonna head to the showers."
After 20 minutes I got out and dressed, I walked back to camp. I walked over to Energy's bed "I'm sorry I stopped talking to you I was just scared and confused so I reacted stupidly but I shouldn't be making excuses for myself I'm sorry I don't expect you to forgive me I just wanted you to know." Energy looked at me for a bit her eyes softening. "Thanks." They then went back to laying down. I left to give them space. After a few hours everyone was called out for a health check. Once the check up was over I made my way back to my bed and fell asleep.
I woke up before everyone else, I went to the bathroom, washed my face, and went back to sleep. I woke up again but it was only Energy and I in the room. I walked over to them but they didn't seem to notice or care so I looked at their phone and saw them removing my contact and creating a group chat with everyone on xeorxia all 775.3 billion people except me. They then turned to me and vowed to never speak to me again. I woke up in another cold sweat but no one noticed so I suffered in silence for fear of waking someone up. It took 1 hour 6 minutes and 29 seconds for me to calm down and fall back to sleep (I counted). Everyone woke up to a siren blaring signaling that we're needed on the battle field. I quickly dressed and ran to the truck, we took a 20-minute drive to the battlefield me and Energy were stationed away from each other today.
I quickly ran over to take cover in a trench. Took a deep breath then came up to open fire, I immediately shot down several Earthlings then moved in to get a closer look. I started shooting again I unloaded my entire blaster on them hitting a 5 man team that was closing in. I noticed they had threw something before attempting to take cover. I quickly realized what it was and started running. It exploded throwing me hard against the ground. I ended up bruising my back and dislocating one of my 4 arms. I quickly took cover and reloaded my gun. Although I was in pain I started shooting again as the Earthlings continued to throw grenades. I ducked down soon after. "We need to fall back!" A lieutenant yelled. My team started to retreat so I followed behind. limping while shooting, until Zelda and Okilios took me to the medical tent where they gave me ice and pain meds. A nurse popped my arm back in, I felt light headed by the sudden pressure. After the nurses made their way to different trauma patients. I went back out with Earthlings coming back stronger we were forced to keep post instead of retreating. I ran over to Zelda and Okilios. "Hey whats going on!" I yelled over the repeated explosions. Okilios looked at me. "There not giving up there moving in faster and faster!" I looked over to see the Earthlings. They'd just thrown another bomb. One of our soldiers caught it by reflex. He stared at it. He had been a newer recruit...the grenade went off seconds after he caught it, blowing up in his face.
