Thanks to Paul for this.
Vral sat with his back against a ruined wall of a building, looking across into the dusty street that lay in front of him, and into the second floor window of the building on the other side of the street. His eyes were sleepy. He had been awake for-what was it- three days? No four. Vral couldn’t figure it out. Anyway, his visor said 18 but it was being messed with by the buildings all around, and the clock had stopped functioning anyway. The town looked like hell now. It was hell, a bloody hell. Vral looked at his partner next to him, dead from loss of blood, a shot in his left thigh. It didn’t matter anyway. What mattered was Vral getting out alive-it was the one thought on his mind right now.
Vral slid his hand onto his pulse carbine, and with a click, pulled out the cartridge.
“Great,” he said to himself. “All out.”
A shell burst overhead and landed on the roof of the building across the street from him, showering ruble onto the ground. Vral slowly stood up, and tossed his Carbine away. His unbuckled his belt holster, and pulled out his combat knife, stolen from the Orks.
He turned his head to the right. About twenty yards away was a corner, and around that corner, was death, sitting, and waiting Orks at the ready. He walked over to the edge of the corner, and put his back to the last bit of wall. Another shell bursted, blowing apart the dead body of his partner, and the place he had been a half a minuet before.
“Can’t even shoot right,” he muttered to himself, whipping his head around the corner, and what he saw didn’t surprise him at all. Just what he expected-a few Orks here, a few Orks there, a motorbike over there, all fighting for the ‘treasure’ on dead bodies. He knew the position of his enemy. Now how to kill them. A knife wouldn’t do it. One of those crude Ork guns might work, if he could carry it. What he needed was a back-up plan. And he thought of one-die. Vral launched himself out in the open, knifing the single un-expecting Ork in front of him. The Orks were slow. He took advantage, and charged forward. He put his blade into the next Orks green skull, and quickly scooped up the Orks’ gun, though he struggled to lift it. A quick pull of the trigger and - empty. The damned gun had no ammo. Six nearby Orks were up and on Vral.
They were playing with him, cutting him up slowly. Then the leader of the group smashed his fist into his visor so hard it shattered, killing Vral.

| I'm sorry but it was very unbelievable that a single fire warrior could take down two Orks. |

| i likd it, 6.5 out of 10 for entertainment but he was a little human and also i was confused about how he went from a building to the orcs being infront of him. i also think you could of played more on the 'caring only for himself' part as it is unusual but possible in his situation. good in all |
