Mike and Karl hid behind the corner, waiting for the strider to go past. Suddenly, a rocket flew into the head of the Strider. I turned...
"Run!" Mike said. They ran. Bullets pelted the ground around them, throwing up dust.
They slipped round behind a wrecked truck and stayed there.
Shouts filled the air as at least 50 rebels charged headlong at the combine base, guns blazing.
"Oh, crud, they're gonna kill themselves!" Karl said.
CPs flooded out of the gates and started shooting. The ground was soon littered with bodies. A rocket was fired into the legs of the massive strider. It shook, and fell... "Jump!" Mike said. They leaped out of their hiding place just as the strider crashed down where they would've been. Cheers rose from the building across the road as it lit up with muzzle flashes. At least 10 CPs fell over, dead. A gunship swooped over Mike and Karl and riddled the building with high-calibre shells. The firing stopped. From nowhere the building burst into flame. Figures ran out of the building, screaming and panicking, before being riddled with bullets. The battle was over quickly. Rebels received the call to retreat and fell back. CPs chased after them.
"Guess it's time for us to go." Mike said.
"Yep" Karl agreed.
