dug in blaster as Joe fired at the surrounding enemy warriors.
Not all of the partners were successful. More than eighty teams were burned into ash as they appeared when the blaster fired first. Death walked the slope and hundreds of warriors on both sides were killed in the first thirty seconds. The enemy’s heavy blasters began taking a toll on the Life Warriors.
Russell teleported another thirty feet and suddenly saw a heavy blaster barrel turning toward him. There was no time to escape. He knew he was dead. Suddenly Joe appeared in front of the blaster and fired his heavy shoulder blaster at the dug in enemy weapon. It exploded, but not before it hit Joe in the chest burning him. Joe’s body fell back at Russell’s feet and Russell fell to his knees in shock and anguish. “Joe, Joe!” Russell saw there was no hope and his grief was overwhelming. The battle swirled around him but he was lost in his misery. He looked up at the blaster that killed Joe and Russell was consumed with rage. His mind stopped and his expression took on a mask of hatred. Suddenly his mind was filled with music so loud it almost deafened him. He stood and started walking forward. He had no thoughts; he was taken by rage and hatred at the enemy that had killed his only friend. He didn’t think. He walked into the battle taking place around him and fired without thinking. He wanted to die but not before he made the creatures pay. He didn’t look at his scanner or anyone else around him; he walked into the wall of death and fired at anything he saw that wasn’t in Realm Armor. As he passed other Life Warriors, they began to hear the music and their fire tripled in strength. They fell in behind Russell and followed him along the hill. A wave of massive blaster beams began advancing into the massed enemy positions.

Pixie and Mitch were with A Company and were in the fight of their lives. Half the Company was dead and the others were going fast. Pixie was moving among the grey creatures killing them in huge numbers, but she couldn’t leave Mitch to fend for himself alone. They heard something and a long line of Life Warriors moved toward them, killing everything in its path. They moved past A Company and Mitch heard the music. He fell in line with the others and the survivors of A Company joined the line following Russell across the slope. The line moved inexorably forward and soon the grey carnivores began running away from the advancing line. They were pushed along the slope until they reached the end of the hill. Half of the Warriors in the long line teleported in front of the fleeing enemy warriors and moved forward. The two lines met and there were no more to kill. Mitch said, “The First Brigade needs help on the other hill.”
Russell heard the command and felt his glee. “More to kill.” The long line arrived at the southern end of the hill and advanced. An hour later, every enemy warrior was dead.
The line reached the end of the second hill and Russell started running up and down the slope looking for more grey creatures. He was consumed by rage and didn’t see anything happening around him. The only thing that stopped him was when Mitch used his command circuit to deactivate his armor and tackled him. Russell screamed his agony and Mitch ordered a medic to sedate him. Suddenly, Russell’s rage was gone. And so was the music.
Mitch along with hundreds of Life Warriors looked down at Russell as Pixie appeared, “What just happened?”
Mitch shook his head, “I don’t know. I really don’t know.”

Russell sat in his bed in the ship’s infirmary and stared at the wall in front of him. He couldn’t get the image of Joe being burned by the carnivore blaster out of his mind. Mitch walked in and saw Russell’s expression. “It wasn’t your fault, Russell.” Russell remained silent. “You would have done the same for him.”
Russell whipped his head around and snarled, “Would I? You know who I
