Endgame pt. 11
I decided not to tell any one about the worm incident because I figured they already knew. But surprisingly, no one mentioned it. What everyone was concerned about was the odd colored substance splattered across X8 and the massive corpses outside. I blamed it on mid morning mist and predators.

After that, training resumed. Today was a tad bit different, though.
"No weapons today, Mord. Just fists." Hayes announced through my intercom.
"Understood. Targets?" I replied.
Then, Blackbird trotted into the training grounds.

Endgame pt. 9
I was awoken in the middle of the night by a small rumbling feeling beneath the bed. I sat up and looked around. For a few seconds, there was nothing...then the rumbling resumed. Then it flashed in my mind...worms.

I fired up the rocket pack at one point, and soon found myself soaring above the landscape, everything beneath me. The zoom feature really gave me a sharper eye.

I ran the blade through the target, slicing it in half with one swift movement. I twirled the dagger around X8's fingers, and then slid it back into it's sheath.

"Now, use the machine gun." Hayes said through my intercom.
I looked at the hologram displaying images of a light machine gun, and sub-machine gun. I fixed my eyes on the LMG, and X8's leg opened up, and revealed a massive gun. I pulled the
