Walking the expanse

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Buckshot stares blankly at his brother for a moment. He then rolls over and screams into his pillow. He screams for ten minutes straight. Hayseed and Dexter could do nothing but stare. He then got up and walked over to the food compartment and grabbed some cookies. He sits at the small table and angrily eats them.

"I can't believe it.", he says with a mouth full. "We're gonna die out here and not even by the demons.

"Oh quit your bitching.", Hayseed says. "I have no intention of dying."

"And I suppose we wait here for our fairy god mother to save us.", shouts Buckshot. The brothers stare at each other for a moment. Dexter brakes the silence by walking up to the table and eating a cookie.

"Ok assholes, lets all discuss this over cookies shall we?", he says. Buckshot stares at him for a minute and grabs a cookie.

"Ok, I had my tantrum, I'll listen now.", he says. Hayseed walks over to the table, but doesn't sit.

"I actually have an idea for getting us back.", says Dexter.

"Is it making an engine appear out of fucking nowhere?", asks Hayseed, still a little grumpy from Buckshot's fairy comment.

"Oh God I know what it is.", says Buckshot with a quivery voice.

"We walk.", says Dexter.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!?!?", shouts Hayseed.

"Yes.", replies Dexter."

"GOD DAMMIT.", Hayseed shouts again.

"It could work.", says Buckshot. "We have plenty of oxygen."

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY GOING ALONG WITH THIS RETARDED IDEA?", Hayseed asks Buckshot.

"It's better then your fairy godmother.", Buckshot said with the intent of triggering his brother even more. Hayseed looked like he was about to pop. "It's funny how you and I switched places in this matter.", said Buckshot. "How I was the pessimist and now you are." Hayseed calms down a little.

"So even though we have plenty of oxygen, how will we solve the food and water problem?", he asks.

"We're close enough to the base that we won't have to worry about that.", says Dexter. "About a days walk."

"I don't see we have any other option.", says Buckshot. Dexter and Buckshot stare at Hayseed.

"Ahhh fuck it.", he says. "We got to get back somehow."

They finish the cookies and drink some water to prepare for the trip. They fill their O2 tanks and put on their EVA suits. Buckshot's spare EVA suit detects his injury and seals the wounds with bio foam. Same with Hayseed. Dexter grabs spare O2 tanks and they leave the airlock. They had a days walk ahead of them. They had to hope that nothing went wrong. If the suits heating systems broke one of them would freeze to death, if a suit ripped one of them would suffocate and maybe explode (defending on how full their lungs were). If everything went right, they would make it.

They begin walking in the direction of Utopia Planitia. The barren desert of Mars stretched across the horizon. Buckshot's stab wounds burn with every step. He does more thinking about the situation. I wonder what the state of the base is., he thinks. Is the military holding up? Has it been evacuated? Is it destroyed entirely? His thoughts go on and on. Dexter occupies himself with looking for any demons.

"I miss home.", says Hayseed. "I miss when all we had to worry about was the next harvest. But some fuckers just had to destroy out life."

"Yeah.", says Buckshot. An anger fills him, not the rage though. "How can people be so evil?", he says. "Like Dr. Batruger."

A big black cloud appears over the horizon in the direction of the base. As they walk further, they see a gigantic spiral over the argent tower.

Buckshot begins to have another episode. He has flashes of the cave and the symbol. This goes on for a while, but then stops. The walking continues. As they get closer, they see cacodemons flying willy nilly around the base. Imps climb the buildings.

"Look!", shouts Dexter. "The barracks are gone." They look to the direction of the barracks and see that the building had been reduced to rubble.

"There goes any plan for resupply.", says Buckshot. "We'll have to escape with what we have."

"Should we do an ammo count?", asks Hayseed.

"Yeah.", said Buckshot. "I got twenty-four shells."

"Six full mags.", reports Dexter.

"Seven,", says Hayseed. "but I do know a couple spells to resort to in case we run out of ammo."

"Any of them happen to be an ammo duplication spell?", Buckshot asks jokingly.

"Nah.", said Hayseed taking the question seriously. "I just know a sleeping spell and one called sacred flame."

Suddenly Buckshot feels an excruciating pain. Dexter and Hayseed see him suddenly jerk up and the inside of his EVA suit glow red. He screams in pain and jerks around. He screamed so hard that blood started to hit his visor. He again saw the cave flashing. He saw the armor and the symbol. He felt like his soul was on fire. He screamed some more and then fell to the ground unconscious.
