[b]"Reloading!"[/b] *Whoosh* Within mere moments the clip of her rifle was empty which ceased her suppressive fire, allowing the enemy to cover their fortification in a hail of chalk rounds once more. Falling onto her back she reloaded her weapon like a well oiled machine, getting ready to get back into the fight within moments thanks to her training. Though she had hit a few people so far it had been harder than she expected, truly moving targets were .. *Crack Crack Crack- Ping ping pumf* The sound of gunfire and connecting hits awakened Alex from her musings as the Scout beside her called Lilly downed a Shock Trooper that had gotten close enough to flank them. Gritting her teeth Alex couldn't believe she lost herself for a moment, this may not have been real battle but she had to try her hardest! Turning back onto her knee she took aim, taking a deep breath before unleashing a round towards one of the oncoming Shock Troopers, nailing her in the helmet and sending her falling to the ground in surprise. Alex took aim at her next target when-, *POOF!* A plume of chalk smoke hit near by, covering the poor girl Lilly, though her body was a very effective shield to protect Alex from it and she was thankful even giving a small bow as if she was at the girls funeral... Not that she would ever think that if this was real combat but still. *Crack* Facing back to the dissipating plume of chalk her eyes went wide as the barrel of a rifle burst from it followed by a Squad Six Scout. She only had a moment to think, her body working off muscle memory from her training as she reached out and grabbed the rifle, [i]'Remember, almost no solider will ever let go of their weapon. This is both a strength and weakness because..., [/i]using the rifle as a lever she pulled the scout in to grab his uniform, flipping him over her shoulder and onto the ground where she placed a knee onto his chest before chalking him. Looking back up she noticed the charging troops advancing on her and she knew she could not hold them alone, though she didn't have too as a hail of bullets both from behind and the side started to cut down their numbers! A shock Trooper joined by her side and the Squad's APC came up to catch them in the cross fire. [i][color=7bcdc8]"Could you... Get off me?" [/color][/i] Looking down she gave off a small relaxed sigh, then removing her knee from the guys chest, he was 'dead' anyway. At the order to retreat the girl got up with rifle in hand and started to run towards the APC, planning to get a lift back, though in her sprint a chalk round barely clipped the back of her leg causing her to stumble as she got onto the APC. Thankfully it did not hit her directly so she was still good to fight, right? [b]"Wait, what are you doing?! Commander?"[/b] However, what she didn't expect was the APC to charge the enemy tank! Looking to their commander for confirmation, she soon found it way too late to turn back now as tank shells were already flying towards the APC, one barely missing the side that she was on! As they neared the tank it could barely keep up, but she knew a good opportunity when she saw one and decided to do something a little dumb. As the APC was passing the tank she nodded to the commander before dropping off the side, falling to the ground in a roll, though it was not a soft landing the tank was not paying her mind and the trench was on the other side so she went unnoticed! However it was not the same of the APC as a cloud of chalk singled its fate, though she hopped that at least some got out before it was tagged. [b]"Now then..."[/b] Sneaking around to the back of the tank she placed a few fake grenades to mimic a demo pack and had a long wire attached to her hand, before backing off to a safe distance. [i][color=7bcdc8]"Halt!"[/color][/i] She turned around to see a few of squad six moving up to her with weapons draw, they knew they had caught her off guard thanks to her lack of experiences with trying to sneak... *Click, POOF* The chalk detonated on the tank, and thanks to the shots from the APC before it was called out! Though that was only one of their tanks most likely but it was a big win in Alex's books who closed her eyes to await to sting of the chalk rounds... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [b]"Gah..."[/b] Alex grunted as she pulled the bandage tight around her arm, covering up the rather bad scrape she had gotten while doing a very stupid move on the battlefield. She had also cleaned up when she got back, now sitting in the barracks and fixing herself up from before. Those Chalk rounds left some nasty bruises as well. Though she at least got a feeling she would be remembered for what happened, even if she had just been going with the flow at the time.
