A Legend Is Born


 - We ... finally made it ... those fuckers came at us with everything they had! My god, they killed Gillian and Tyler ...

The distorted voice stopped for a second. A steady stream of blood was flowing from a small hole just below the chest area. The wounded suit almost collapsed, but the other suit was there.

The wounded suit started in a low voice:
- You'll have to do it ...
- No... Not yet ... there is still time ... you can still make it ...
- No ... it's too late for me, you'll have to do it instead ... They're coming ... you have to do it now ...
- I CANNOT LEAVE YOU!
- This is what we trained for ... do it ... DO IT NOW GOD DAMN IT!!

The crystals were everywhere around them, on the walls, on the ceiling, overflowing from the floor, glowing in that awful red crimson. This was the place, this was where it had to be done.

After laying the wounded suit against the wall, the second suit took a glove off, the shaking hand reching slowly for the glowing crystal pile in the middle of the cave.

 - I can already feel the pain ...
 - No, CONCENTRATE ... it's up to you now ... you must save ... them ... you must save ... us...
 - It's ... it's turning ... the cyan void is opening ...

Their eyes, full of tears, locked from behind the masks... Tears of fear ... tears of hope ...


                                                         - Good bye ... my love ...
                                                         - Good bye ...

The hand touched the crystal.
