Muzzle fire seen from the line from the right and small white flashes from the left.
CUT TO

CUT TO
EXT. TRENCH
The NEMIAN ARMY in blue armor fire their weapons into the enemy lines. Some troops falling getting hit by crystal shards. Crying for medics and more ammo as crystal shards go whizzing by over head.
EXT. NEMIAN TRENCH
FIRST OLIO SINCLAIR, ranking officer of the DARK KNIFE SQUAD,fires his rifle into the enemy lines.
Olio stops firing to wave his arm around pointing to various locations along the trench. Soldiers move to the locations in response.
SINCLAIR
Watch the left flank! Comm. I need air support! Hold the li-
Three shards dig into Sinclair’s helmet one passing straight through. His lifeless body falls backwards.
LESSER JIN CASTER runs up to the corpse. Jin is a handsome man, tall and confident looking.
JIN
HEALER!!
Jin rips off the helmet of the fallen officer and almost gags at the sight of the large jagged holes in Sinclair’s face. A trooper in white and red armor runs up to The fallen officer. checks his vitals shaking his head at Jin before running off toward another CALL for a healer.
JIN
...Goddess...SECOND!! Second Nall!.
SECOND RHYX NALL hobbles over to the corpse pulling the visor of his helmet back. Rhyx is a short stocky individual awkward looking in his armor. Rhyx looks down at the corpse then back up at Jin with an expression of fear.
JIN
Sir...your orders?
RHYX
Or...orders...umm...uh yes...umm...
Rhyx stammers looking around desperately.
JIN
Sir we need orders, what should we do?
RHYX
I...I..hold!!
Rhyx runs to the rear wall of the trench trying to crawl his way out. Jin grabs him to pull him back down but Rhyx kicks Jin in the face leaving a nasty gash in his forehead.
Rhyx climbs over the wall and runs away SCREAMING. Several troops move to the location of the commotion.
JIN
Bloody void...
Three helmetless troopers run up to help Jin to his feet.
BROCK MALVIS stands two feet taller than the rest, his muscles almost bursting through his armor, a large Fulcan Cannon strapped to his back.
SLITH ORIN a thin man with lighter armor than the rest and a darker shade sweeps his sniper rifle back and forth covering the others.
Finally FROST McKAY the only female in the group her white hair is cropped and pale ice blue eyes.
FROST
What’s happening? Was that Nall?
JIN
You seem surprised at that... Olio is dead, and we are out a second.
SLITH
We have more problems Jin, looks like the shiny's are getting ready for a push.
Slith squeezes off a few rounds and Brock moves next to him unhooking his cannon from his back and firing a loud violent volley.
FROST
How many Slith?
SLITH
Too many, doubt we would be able to hold them even with the first and second here.
The group of soldiers look to Jin who is looking down at the bottom of the trench absorbing the information.
FROST
Your call Jin, your the ranking Lesser here.
JIN
Alright, Slith, Brock keep an eye on the brood if they start to charge make the call. Frost get a head count and get everyone ready to fall back. We aren’t dying out here like this, not today.
A soldier wearing light armor and a large pack on his back pushes his way through the small crowd of troops.
SOLDIER
I have a transmission from central command, whose first here?
Frost slaps Jin in the back pushing him forward.
JIN
Me..I guess, lets hear it
SOLDIER #2
Wait, who put him in charge?
FROST
I did, that a problem?
The second soldier backs down as the first soldier hands Jin a set of earphones. They crouch down ducking under crystal shards flying overhead. Jin slowly lowers the headphones a grim expression on his face.
FROST
What? What is it
JIN
A royal convoy, it’s heading passed this location it will be here in a matter of moments.
BROCK
Convoy? Here? That’s madness wh-
JIN
It doesn’t matter how and why slag it! The princess is riding in this convoy, and if we abandon the line we lose her, we lose her, Nema collapses regardless of whether we live or not!
SLITH
Jin, we are not going to surv-
JIN
Shut up Slith I know...I know...
Jin looks down at the body of Sinclair then up at the oncoming Brood then over his shoulder a small dust cloud in the distance being kicked up by the convoy.
FROST
No matter what Jin, we’re with you.
Jin looks at Frost then to Slith and Brock each at a time then nods reaching down to the First’s corpse and pulling off his shoulder harness and comm. system putting it on.
JIN
All units, this is Jin, we are holding the line, Comm. I need air support here as soon as they can.
The troops that crowded around now move back to their positions Jin and Frost barking orders.
BROCK
A good day to die, eh Slith?
SLITH
For you maybe.
JIN
No one is dying today, no no, not us, we are the Dark knife squad, the best the Nemian army has to offer. Today will be a day remember through song and story as the day the brood shuddered in terror, the day they heard the voice of Nema through our guns and war cries, but not for her majesty the queen, not even the goddess herself. This is our home, and we will hold this line.
The squad cheers and stand ready for the order to fire.
SLITH
Here they come.
A large assault force of the brood charges forward firing their weapons at the line some troops fall as a result but no one falters.
JIN
Fire!
The line opens fire the brood crack and shatter as the bullets from the nemian guns hit them but the brood presses forward.
FADE OUT.
