From the hole you could see several bugs trying to get in pus.h.i.+ng each other trying to kill the defenders of the outpost. Matthew yelled for his man to move barricades towards the hole. Suddenly a completely black arachnid push itself inside with incredible speed it rushed towards the the nearest enemy it quickly started a killing frenzy it killed several man until finally it died when one of his victims killed himself with a hand grenade. Quickly Matthew order his man to fire one more mini nuke to slow down the bugs but before they fire he threw several grenades towards the hole on the way killing all of the bugs around it. Quickly he order any technicians to start pulling the base apart to find material to seal to hole. The explosion from the mini nuke help to kill many of the attacking bugs bug the still kept coming he told his men to fire again this time the explosion did not kill as many bugs but it did give time to the engineers and technicians to start repairing the hole.

"Sir we need to seal the hole from the other side two or else the bugs will be able to push the wall apart easier." He knew that this was a suicide mission the bugs could kill his man he quickly order he man to open the doors and to let them out and he ask for volunteers to go with with to guard them from any not dead bugs. Many knew that this was a death sentence but it needed to be done after a few minutes a group was made the bugs where still rus.h.i.+ng but this time they had decided that plainly rus.h.i.+ng with numbers would not work unless they attack with their full force. They were not ready for the federation to know about their true numbers yet. Soon the men rushed outside and started to work on the wall, but they did not rush they knew that this need to be done well or else they would all die.

From afar the screeching of hoppers could be heard several started to fly towards the outpost . The engineers were wearing earm.u.f.fs to keep the noise of gun fire from distracting them they had no idea that they were being targeted. Soon the hoppers reached the base most of the man on the walls started to fire at them killing several while a few manage to wiggle their way closer to the engineers and their guard. The bugs failed to kill a single guard or engineer but they did wound one soldier their wings gave the man a wide cut from his shoulder to the his leg. Thankfully his armor had stopped most of the attack giving the man just a long wound easily treatable. The man rushed to a medic and they applied wound care and prevented the wound from getting infected. the man was told to just wait for a while to let his body rest.

Soon most of the man on the could be seen to be resting they had just fought the bugs for about four hours many did not know if they could keep going. They were running low on ammo and many where starting to feel hunger their only so much a man can keep fighting for. Their arms were heavy, their rifles by their side could be seen to be starting to glow from over heating. Soon several transport s.h.i.+ps arrived many bringing more ammo and to take the wounded and dead. From one one the s.h.i.+ps a crew of cooks could be seen being dropped they rushed towards the kitchen and started to make food for the soldiers. In another s.h.i.+p their was new guns to exchange with the overheating guns that the man had. The Stars.h.i.+p had started to send bombers to give the man in the outpost time to relax but a quick photograph from s.p.a.ce showed that the bugs numbers where ma.s.sive they could cover the old country of Russia with with numbers.


With new echo mapping technology they could see all of the holes and areas that the bugs were using to hide their large numbers. The higher ups of the Federation were shocked they could not imagine how such a number when unnoticed until now. By now the full might of the Federation was rus.h.i.+ng towards Planet P trying to get to the planet before The Guardians and the Roughnecks were overwhelm. Even if they were the best of the best no one could keep fighting for ever.

Hundreds of s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps could be seen traveling in hyper s.p.a.ce towards planet P any minute they would arrive and with them several tens of thousand of mobile infantry were being transported with them. All of them filled with rage seeing their fellow man fight against the tide of bugs they stood alone they had lost a quarter of their numbers they were losing ground againts the bugs they would be overrun soon. The saw the bombers and the many more man that were being send from the lone s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p many of the them decided that they would fight with their brothers on the ground. The started to load s.h.i.+ps with more guns.

Matthew looked down towards the base his man were falling tired the fire in their hearts burning out they could not continue fighting for to long. They were tired the wall of the base was getting destroyed the bugs had cause to much damage, just another attack and the wall could fall it was being barely held by its base supports anything could take it down even a strong gust of wind. Matthew knew that the federations forces were coming they just needed to hold on for a bit longer.

Finally he heard it the yelling form his artillery man " sir we are running low on ammunition we only have 60 more rounds".Their was fear in his voice he knew that when the last round fell the bugs would once more try to swarm them. He had several of his man to do ammo count and he himself called the lone s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p he now knew it was name Ariz. He asked them to deliver more ammo but he was given bad news they no longer had artillery round on board they only had rifle ammo. They had not prepare for a seige battle. He was wondering if he should retreat but he knew that it would be a crus.h.i.+ng blow to the Federation"s forces if they saw them fall back.

The bugs almost as if knowing their problems started to gather slowly their numbers grew bigger and bigger soon it was the biggest horde they would face yet. Matthew knew that many of his man would fall here even he could die. The bugs no longer ran towards the base almost as if mocking them they walked to the base with each step creating more fear in Matthews man. Federation intelligence notice that the bugs were most likely being lead by their leader. Then a dozen miles away a ma.s.sive hole could be seen opening up from it dozens of tanker bugs could be seen coming out along with several Plasma bugs then a new bug was seen a pink giant bug it was only for several seconds before it turn around and when back inside the hole hiding again. This was new they had never seen a bug retreat ever.

The Bugs were being killing dozens hundreds by the second Matthew ask his man if they had any mini nukes left . "We only have one left sir", was the reply that he received from his man matthew then said we will use that last one when we are close to being over run. He had his man gather all the Grenades that they had and seeing that the bugs where still far he told his man to throw the grenades when they no longer had any ammo. From the kitchen one of the cooks came out with several large gas tanks he then said "sir we can use these to kill several of those f.u.c.king bugs". Matthew seeing this quickly yelled to to his man "gather all the oil or gas containers we may have they could become our last resort to survive this attack.

Quickly several of his man rush to the kitchen the took it apart in minutes and they found a dozen more gas tanks each the size a man and all full. he looked towards the bugs they were still walking but they were at lest 6 miles away they were taunting them with their numbers now fully covering everything as far as the eye can see. Matthew order several of his man to take the gas tanks and to place them a mile away from them and to place a explosive trigger on all of them. They finish doing it by the time the bugs were almost upon them but the bugs did not rush them they where hidden by the dead bodies of the dead bugs.

Waiting for the bugs to pa.s.s by the tanks was stressful for everyone they did not know if it would work. Would the gas tank explode or would it be a waste of time. The bugs pa.s.sed the first and the second and so on Matthew waited until a large portion of the bugs pa.s.s by. Suddenly he press the b.u.t.ton nothing happen their action was a waste the tanks did not explode. Matthew knew that they had lost a valuable resource that could have been used better. Suddenly a bright light blinded his eyes a ma.s.sive fire ball could be seen exploding fallowed by another and another. Looking down his man were smiling one said " it was on a 10 second timer". Matthew started to laugh his laughter caught on and soon everyone was laughing they had all forgotten. Looking towards the bugs he could see them thousands dead several hundred on fire.
