Earths defenses were being mobilized, great turrets attached to the planet twisted to face the approaching ships, Soldiers on the ground loaded there weapons and changed into thick white armor, The bull-tanks were fueled and checked And the weapon the government had been working on for thirty years was being revealed; nine colossal mechanical robots moved out of the war factory, Dark green Armour protected there structures ,They were armed and piloted. This was it , the great war was to begin.
In the back of a war-truck the tensions were high . Henry sat with seven other marines , no one spoke , the only sound was the humming of the engines . All eight of them were armed with rapid fire machine guns and a close combat blade which will soon be put to use .
From the edge of the bench came the throaty voice of the squadron-leader “ On arrival, the truck turrets will provide some cover , enough time to get into the crab position . Any Kraid that comes into the twenty meter radius should be destroyed, after the formation of our front lines occur , we take there first waves head on , Each militia will be aided by one Mech and fifteen tanks” The marines had heard it several hundred times before but on this occasion , it meant something , these orders will soon be carried out. Henry was shaking benath the heavy armour, he wasnt scared for his life but for those of his children and wife. He had joind the defence to protect them, and if he failed . they would all die. The kids , he told himself , trying to visualize his two dauters faces , the kids , do it for them .
The truck came to a halt, everyone stood up. The leader pushed the doors wide open.
A cold dessert wind filled the truck compartment, the scene was terrifying, spider like robots swarmed the dessert landscape, many of the marines were already ingaged in the war, there armour was useless against the scything pincers and yellow beams which imited from the ships hie up ,blood was already spilt and the carcasses cluterd the sand fields .
Henry leapt out ,and forgeting everything the comander told him, he charged.
I know its cliche but i just felt inspired at the time.
