Dark Universe & Forbidden Love
her facial
change from scared to shock.
    Gloria
couldn’t believe what she just heard. What happened on the cruiser stormed back
to her. Jason released her hair and headed to the vent. Gloria was still in
shock. When she finally got herself together, she wanted to call him back. Then
she realized that she didn’t even know his name. She was just sitting there and
watching Jason crawl into the vent.

Chapter 15
     
    An electronic bullet struck
Jason on his left shoulder. He lost his balance, fell over and plunged in the
trench.
    “What
the fuck are you thinking?” Erikon yelled as he ran to Jason and shot the
approaching robots. Lucis and Idi were providing the covering fire with shock
wave guns, pushing some robots back.
    “Are you
alright? Get up, man.” Erikon said as he squatted next to Jason. He pulled up
Jason with one hand and fired his laser rifle with the other.
    “Jason,
Erikon, get out of there. Now!” Sayilin yelled.
    Jason
picked up his rifle and ran to the nearest bunker with Erikon.
    A small
plate landed at where Jason was seconds ago and then hundreds of laser beams
busted out of it.
    Right
now, Jason and his six teammates were in the middle of a ground combat
exercise. It was a live fire exercise and they were wearing heavy armor suits.
Their target was to capture the flag on the other side of the training field
and keep the flag as long as possible. The field was as big as a football ground
and was dotted with platforms, trenches, bunkers and steel barricades. Some
twenty robots were defending the flag.
    Titainein
and Orizy were shooting behind a steel barricade, holding the ground at Jason’s
left flank. In front of Jason and Erikon, about 25 meters away, five robots
were approaching quickly. Lucis and Idi joined Jason from the right flank. Now
only Sayilin was fighting on the right flank.
    “Jason,
Focus. Focus!” Lucis screamed.
    “He is
bleeding.” Idi said as she checked Jason’s left arm armor.
    “I am
alright.” Jason said as he reloaded his rifle.
    “Vampire,
Idi, Erikon. Cover me.” Jason said and darted out of the bunker. He rolled
behind a steel barricade and shot down one robot at the front and then ran to
the closest trench.
    Three
Robots were closing to the right flank. Sayilin got on to a platform and
destroyed one. But he was forced to back down to the lower ground as two robots
left the flag and joined the robots at the right flank. Erikon, Lucis and Idi
gunned down another two robots in the front. The last robot at the front took
out a laser net plate. Just before it hurled the plate, Jason shot the robot’s
hand and the plate fell on the ground. Hundreds of laser beams tore the robot
into pieces. Another five robots left the flag and headed to the middle sector.
Now there was only one robot protecting the flag.
    “Move
forward. Idi, to the right!” Jason shouted as he headed to the flag.
    Erikon
and Lucis ran forwards and provided the covering fire for Jason. Idi joined
Sayilin on the right flank. Titainein and Orizy still held their positions at
the left flank. Erikon and Lucis took a platform and fired at the incoming five
robots. Jason grabbed a damaged robot and dragged its body to a nearby
barricade. He removed the battery and threw it at those five robots. One robot
shot the battery in the air.
    “Boom!”
The battery exploded, projecting thousands of bolts of lightning at the ground
as if there was a lightning storm. Those five robots froze for two seconds.
Jason took this chance and gunned down two of them. Erikon and Lucis took care
of the rest.
    “Cover
me!” Jason said as he ran to the flag. It was about 20 meters away. His
teammates kept other robots busy as he was closing the distance. Jason ran like
crazy, but he somehow saw Gloria’s bloody face in his brain. He shook his head
to get rid of her, but it didn’t work.
    “Jason,
the mine!” Lucis yelled at the top of his lung.
    “Stop!
Jason. Stop!” Sayilin screamed as he saw Jason heading right
