Blackburns head screamed for him to get up, dropship only 5 minutes out ringged in his ears, the creature was taking it's time to celebrate it's supposed victory, Blackburn fought the urge to move on into the inky blackness, this thing was stronger than him, but he was smarter than it, then in this slurred state he remebered somthing, his tactical helmet had a helmet light and at this range it's strobe light would act like a flare, blinding the creature, if this was it, to hell if i'm going to just give up... black mouth was dry but he managed to sound one command "Lights..." the storbe light blasted the xeno in the face, the xeno had made it's mistake, during the fall so much of it's blood had gotten on blackburn, that if it used it's pheromones it would only find itself and now the light sensors in the skull were blinded completely, he kicked the xeno off hiself, his body screaming he started a slowly crawl draging himself through the dirt, pain racked his body "let's finish this you b******" badapple had just over came the effects of the lights, both of their gas tanks were empty, this was it, and both of them knew it, ba had lost to much blood and blackburns head was spinning, both in danger of fading away, then he watched the xeno ready himself and with a roar of challage jumped...black life flashed before his eyes or at least the moments that were not blocked by his amnisa, and he with the last of his enrgy lunged for his knife and rolled closing his eyes, the the impact of two bodys and then xeno blood dripping on the ground with a mix of human blood, the creature had left a huge gash in his chest, but black's knife was driven right through the skull of the creature, alloowing it to pin its inner jaw and it's real jaw in one fail swoop, he watched the xeno give a pitiful hiss before rolling to the side, the knife coming out of the xenos skull, in the end, their was no true victor black thought, the xeno was dying but then again so was he... "i'm sorry for what those W-Y b****** did to you..." he looked over and watched the creature look at him and then it's head fell back to the ground, black then heard engines, and marines shouting as a group of blurred shapes surronded him, and he felt himself being hosted up and carried away to dropship outside, he gave one last look back at that hive and wispered "i'm truely sorry..." and then he passed out as the ship took off to the med bay of the endgame. Black never knew exsactly what happened to the creature... but he knew one thing... in the moments in the end of that fight, his only emotion was not rage but pity, extreme pity for the poor b*****, but this was the natural way, and in the end it didn't even matter.
(OOC:i thought this was a good way to end it, leaving black not knowing what happened to ba and ba never knowing what happened to black, and i sense a rematch in the future)
