This is something new I wanted to try this is the point of view from Yakov Stepanovich, one of the soldiers to enter in the portal in ch2

I would like to hear feed back of any kind, or if this chapter was a bit to descriptive on its context please tell me and ill change it.

Thanks for responding!

PS Also this story is paralleling some costs of war.


Only the dead have seen he end of war

-Plato

The last thing I wanted was to wake up to an siren at 430. But here I was in the middle of some alien planet fighting on a Russian air base in a god forsaken desert, in the middle of an alien civil war. This war for the most part was fought between the Northern and the Southern sergals. These basically look like a bipedal wolf/shark creature. The north lead by rain silves is trying to eradicate the south in some sort of race war. And we are fighting with the south by supplying air strikes.

And here I am waking up to sirens and gunfire...

Yakov! get up didn't you hear the alarms blaring!? Says Ivan.

Ok! Ok! I reply.

Attention All Units! We are being attacked by the north eastern side! Get to the arms! The intercom repeats the message a few more times before stopping.

I jump out of the bed and grab my RPD, a few grenades and an RPG 7 and a few Rockets, Ivan gets his Bizon and a few clips and we both dash out.

We are soon joined by hundreds of our comrades dashing out toward the northern trenches, some people had barely had enough time to get in their uniform, but I thankfully slept in mine.

Both me and Ivan hurtled over the sand bags and we could see almost nothing but hear gunfire and screaming but once the flares light up the area we could see hundreds of northern sergals charging toward our front lines, then I could see muzzle flashes of guns coming from their side of the field. Then the loud booming of our artillery could be heard as the shells fell on the enemy. And the tracers from our 30 mm auto cannons soon followed.

How the hell did they get guns? I yell.

Ivan: I heard rumors that the Nevarians have equipped the northerners with guns!

Soon after we made it to the front. then a loud explosion ripped through our trench to the right of me, nearly missing me.

I slowly stand up and see what looked like a bunch of cannons firing at us, but it lacked accuracy, So I quickly take out my RPG and readied the rocket aimed,

Eat rocket! I yell.

Then fire the rocket it blasts through the air at 265 meters per a second and hits the cannons and detonates while setting off the stack of charges near by creating a decent sized explosion blowing up the battery of cannons. Burnt wood and the disfigured cannons fall back to earth with an earth pounding ~thunk!~.

"holy shit, I'm glad on your side!" Ivan says.

Well they did try to blow us up! I reply.

Then I get out my RPD and start to fire at the enemy, Ivan does the same and a few minutes later some sergals over run our trenches and start to attack our troops, about 20 of them over take our positions and start to maul people to pieces, I saw how how it happened like a flash those monsters sneak up from the bottom and jump up and pounce down on the victim then they bite the neck and break it, I was shocked as it stared at me with those cruel lifeless eye and charged at me, I could see blood dripping doun its mouth as it jumped toward me, I was frozen with shock till-

POOM POOM POOM POOM POOM!

a five round burst of the 30 mm Gsh auto cannon fired shredding the sergal in to pieces its head blasted off and fell toward my feet, I snapped out of it. Ivan then takes aim at the rest of them and fires a few rounds, later all of them lie dead and severely disfigured.

I regain focus taking aim at the closer ones as Ivan aims at the more heavily armed ones, as our artillery shelled the hills where our enemy was hiding, soon more poured out, charging with their primitive semi automatic guns firing, then as soon as they came out most of our machine guns and auto cannons light up the entire area traces firing out in a massive bullet storm.

This went on for a few hours as the sun rose I heard a roaring sound....

Our jets! The squadron of Mig-21s took off circled around and dropped their napalm on the hidden enemy, A massive fire ball rose above the tree line a bout a mile away from us, some dropped phosphorus and magnesium bombs, you could see the red sparks as the bombs exploded. A few minutes later the fighting came to a quick stop. Gunfire ceased and the fires stopped burning, we assumed the fighting was over but everyone was still in shock about the surprise attack, I for one had an adrenaline rush, soon things settled down and a battalion was sent to keep watch as everyone started to asses the damages and tend to the wounded and reload some of their weapons. I saw the wounded, it was a horror house in the infirmary some people had massive gouges in their arms and were bleeding out, some still has teeth stuck in them, one person had his front face bitten, a few people suffered from gunshot wounds from the enemy. About 10-15 lay dead from blood loss or snapped neck. We did find an enemy survivor he was a 6'4" and was full on jet black he seemed to have shell shock (psychological disturbance caused by prolonged exposure to active warfare, especially being under bombardment.) he seemed to have a few cuts and scrapes he had full iron armor, he kept on mumbling to him self "the fire the terrible fire". We found him hiding in a crater made by some artillery he was just staring at the burnt skeletons of his fallen comrades, some were even standing up as if they were frozen in time running from a fire that they could never out run. some were cooked inside their armor, thinking it would protect them, this one corpse had its sword through its stomach. Must have committed suicide I thought. As for the forest most of the trees were charred, some still smoldering from the phosphorus and magnesium. The whole part of the forest smell of ash and was clouded by charred. The whole area was littered with bones, skulls, and dead bodies some had arms and libs missing some were cut clean open with their entrails spilling out, files flied all over the place, then a "clean up crew" came and burnt all the remaining bodies with flame throwers, as we took our prisoner of war back to the camp you could see the smoke rise from the mountains.

Over the course of the day we got reports that stated that the dead enemy count is 571 the estimated attacking force was about 600. When we arrived to get the sergal treated for his PTSD, the doctor says:

He should be fine in a few days, just keep him from harming anyone and he should be ok.

Just then Victor Leader of our company says:

Yakov and Ivan you will be responsible for our new guest make sure he is fed so he can snap out of it, also try asking questions, get information on him.. I will be sending in 2 guards to keep watch of him! Now you are dismissed.

Later on lunch started at about 1345 it was late due to the fighting. I sat down at the table with the sergal as Ivan brought over our plates, lunch was beef stew, as the plates clattered, Ivan told the sergal: "beef stew good for heath, you should eat". The sergal replied in a rather shy/feared voice I-I-I c-c-cant I just seen my kind being shredded to pieces...

If your not going to eat will you at least tell us your name?: I ask

"My name is Ruka Zaivier"
