Into the Abyss

[TheOrangeButterfly]

Claus heard the line from the Major.

"Claus. Confirmed drop."

Johannes clicked off the radio again. Claus wondered what the hell was happening to the other recruits. The moments after he left the building, moving cover to cover, he began to hear something. Explosions? Yes. They weren't that far away. Perhaps five or six clicks. Probably the wreckage hitting the ground. It was then that he saw the remains of the Storm about to make landfall the hard way. He saw a small object fly out from the back of it. Some survived.

Johannes next heard gunshots. Those were far closer than he had anticipated, although the drop was a failed attempt it seems as though one of his comrades managed to also make it to the ground alive.

"Dammit."

If he knew his comrade's position, so did whatever else was out there. He began jogging towards the gunshots, seeing several buildings along the way with shadowy figures within... unhumanly shadows. He heard a hard thud hit the ground as he approached the position. Then he saw Ketsu. Ketsu had fired on whatever the hell that thing was that was in front of him. More poured out of the building in front of his, easily 10 or 15 things. Johannes took a position behind a small barrel that was oddly left next to a building. He popped off a few rounds, trying to ensure that Ketsu would not be surrounded by the mutants.

"Get the hell out of the open!"

Johannes yelled, only forcing the mutants to turn to his position. Apparently getting shot didn't bug them, but his voice angered them. With an otherworldly, guttural sound, they heaved towards his position. He popped three off before glancing again to Ketsu.
