point of his chin. He clearly was out on his feet as he started to stumble around. Destiny snatched the gun from his hand, turned it around and ended his misery with a burst of bullets in the chest.
She had to move again before he hit the ground because she noticed both of the other soldiers advancing towards the front of the truck Eric was hiding in. One was on either side as they planned to likely have at least one of them take him out. His sword was outside the truck which meant nothing at all with his incredible powers but the fact that it was lying there still suggested he had something else in mind. The only problem with that was that whatever he had in his plan might not work with what was in hers. She needed the right soldier left alive for her plan to work so she made two quick decisions.
Reaching forward with her hand and her telepathic powers, she pulled the soldier she wanted alive backwards. He stumbled to the ground just about the time she put two bursts of ammo into the other soldier and several rounds exploded through the window he had been walking towards. If not for her pulling the soldier backwards, he would have been killed easily by Eric's shots.
Like a house on fire, Eric leaped out of the truck and trained a weapon on the downed but living soldier. Destiny shouted, “No! Eric don't! I need him alive! We need one alive to get in!”
“You stole my kill!” Eric yelled as he dropped the weapon, “I should shoot you instead!”
Destiny smirked as she walked forwards, “Maybe later lover-boy. Right now we need to get this one hoisted up into the truck and let him know what he is about to help us do.”
Groggily the soldier sat up, “I'm not helping you do anything but die.”
Destiny turned her weapon around and slammed him in the crown of his head with the butt of the gun. He dropped like a stone. She smiled down at his unconscious form, “That's cute but you couldn't kill me if I decided to let you. Plus, I'm already dead remember?” She stood and motioned to the unconscious soldier, “Eric, we need to put him in the truck and get out of here before someone comes to find out why they are no longer reporting anything happening.”
“You put his ass in there,” he said as he walked back towards the truck, “You're the one that knocked him out after all.”
Destiny sighed at his irritating attitude but leaned down to try and lift the heavy body. She didn't want to use her telepathy for this because it would use up more than she needed to waste in a non-battle situation. Her hands were just under the armpits of the guy when his body suddenly rose up so fast that his shoulder slammed into Destiny's chin. The soldier's unconscious body lifted a few feet into the air and then was slammed into the truck. She glared at Eric.
He shrugged, “What?”
She rubbed her chin where the man's shoulder had hit her, “I'm gonna kick your ass for that.”
“You might want to wait on that,” Eric said, “And you might want to drive through that trail in the woods right there because I hear the distant sound of engines.”
Destiny could hear it too when she listened closely enough. She looked up, “I would have already heard that if my ears weren't ringing from taking a shot in the chin.” She walked around to climb into the driver’s seat and started the quick but careful off-road trip Eric had indicated. She hadn't even noticed the trail there before but it appeared to be an old logging road that probably lead to either a defunct logging business or maybe a dirt pit of some kind. They were long gone before any other vehicle came near enough to follow them.
Eric broke the silence with a laugh. Destiny glared at him, “What”
“I hit you with a guy!” he held his stomach and laughed harder, “Right in the face!”
Destiny shook her head in disgust and looked out her window to hide a slight grin.
