Shellshock

Time: 0000 Hours (12:00 am)

Location: Downtown Las Pegasus

The sky was grey. The city was a smoldering corpse of it's former beauty and vultures were everywhere.

Private First Class Crimson Dream was in the drained and blood stained Bellagio Fountain located in Royal Square in the city of Las Pegasus. He was dazed and his vision comes and goes. The fountain is filled with dead civilians, as well as fallen Corrupted.

Twenty Corrupted goes by as some of them walk into the fountain and feast on the dead.

Crimson slowly buries himself under the dead and remains still. He is not noticed.

As the Corrupted move on, he vomits then begins to crawl forward. Suddenly, one of the bodies starts to move in front of him. It was his teacher, Sergeant Echo, and his dog, Hunter.

"Over here," Echo whispers. He was dressed in a set of black urban sniper fatigues, a foliage black shemagh around his neck and black vest with his earpiece strapped to his head. Crimson was dressed similarly with his fatigues but with a black and green shemagh tied around his neck. Crimson crawls over to him, armed both were armed with high powered crossbows and their preferred secondary weapons.

"See that? To the east of us. Two of those things right in front of the casino," says Echo.

Two Corrupted were standing outside the casino. They were, what Echo and Crimson could only guess, were searching the area.

"I see them. Range is two-zero-zero meters. Wind, moving from south east to north west, speed one-zero. Adjusting scope," says Crimson.

"Got it. Cleared to engage in three...two...one."
