Free The Fight for Creation: Book 01 - Life Warrior by Saxon Andrew Page B

four steps back on my mark.”
    Captain Debat said, “What are you doing? We can’t give up ground, we’ll be overrun.”
    “Captain, please do as I’ve asked. Ready, Mark.”
    Captain Debat and the other Life Warriors took four steps back and they saw Jon turn and face the on rushing mass of Megat Warriors. The brilliance of something leaving their lines caused their helmets to darken to block the light. The following explosions shook the ground like a 9.9 earthquake.
    Jon ejected a mini-penetrator and aimed it at a Heavy Tank rolling toward their lines. It was in the back ranks of the charging Megat and just in front of the twenty thousand Megat warriors rushing in to overrun the defenses of the city. Another mini-penetrator ejected from his chest, extended its hundred foot wide force field, and moved away faster than the Life Warriors could see. It broke the sound barrier eight feet from his chest and the sonic blast roared into the oncoming ranks. The force field of the penetrator vaporized every Megat Warrior it touched instantly as it tracked in on another giant armored vehicle and blew it into an explosion that produced a shock wave that blew out into the ranks of the Megat. Two other heavy tanks were hit at the same moment and as the shock waves combined and spread out Jon yelled, “Hit the dirt now!”
    The shock wave passed over the Life Warrior Company and hit the outer buildings of the city and blew in the walls. Captain Debat saw the explosions and said, “What the…” just before he hit the ground. He looked at his wide view panel and saw that most of the Megat were dead. The few that were able to stand up were disoriented and he ordered, “Move out. Push them back.”
    The two hundred warriors stood and moved forward killing anything that moved. Twenty Megat Heavy Attack Craft came roaring in and were blown into dust by the Hornets Jon launched. The company arrived at the destroyed Heavy Armor and saw the Megat Survivors fleeting toward their landing craft.
    Suddenly, Jon heard, “Help us. Someone please help us!” He closed his eyes and saw hundreds of Megat attacking a huge structure in the center of the city. He showed Dern and Teg the view and teleported away.
    Jon arrived just behind a Megat Company as they blasted a door in the armored wall and began entering the building. He didn’t even think. His heavy laser and Hand Projectile Gun appeared and he killed every Megat still outside the building. He ran and jumped into the doorway and saw the first group of Megat that had entered the door firing at a group of eight unarmored warriors at the front of the room, who were using a stone wall as cover. He moved forward and his auto-loaded hand projector emerged and he moved it across the ranks of the Megat, charging toward the front of the room. He killed them all in less than two seconds. Not one of his projectiles missed its target. His scanner warned him of more Megat moving toward the building and he rushed forward and said, “Get out of here, move to another room.”
    The commander of the Warriors looked at him and yelled, “The other rooms have been breached. This is the only room left in the castle without the enemy in it.” Jon looked over at four people huddled behind the warriors and the captain said, “They’re trying to capture members of the Royal Family.”
    Jon said, “Get behind the wall and stay there.”
    Jon moved out into the center of the room where his scanners could see both entrances into the room and raised his arms. He knew there was no way a mini-penetrator could be used in close quarters without killing everyone in the room. He closed his eyes and waited.
    The Commander of the eight defenders was a former Life Warrior and he knew that one Warrior could not hold off the charging Megat. Twenty minutes later he still didn’t believe what he witnessed.

    The Megat that charged the castle that day moved into a storm that had no equal. The Megat that had
