Memories: Part II

Private First Class Proxilia Ramirez. Company K, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines. Near Paneighma City, Paneighma. "Fucking fuck!" Ramirez cursed to herself as she ran for cover, most of her squad did the same while some stayed behind the AAV. It hasn't even been 5 minutes, and one of her squadmates is already injured. Going into a prone position, Ramirez aimed with her rifle and returned fire. Hot, brass casings had found a place next to her as she continued to send lead on target. 'PAPAPAPAPAPA!' "Reload!" Ramirez shouted as she took out the empty mag and loaded in a fresh one, adrenaline coursed through her veins as dirt was thrown up around her. The little changeling was about to send another burst of 5.56 until she heard her comrades cheering. Confused, she looked around for the cause of this. It didn't take long before her ears were filled with the familiar chopping sounds of a helicopter. She smiled as she sees a Huey hover above her. Armed with the infamous M60, the door gunner let loose round after round on the enemy position. 'RATATATATATATATATA!' Rami chuckled to herself as she felt the casings bounce off her helmet and vest. Of course, she let out a hiss when some of the hot casings found themselves on some exposed areas. Once it was clear that the enemy wasn't going to fire back anytime soon, the helicopter above her flew back to where it came from. She slowly and cautiously stood up as she took in the destruction in front of her: bodies lying on the road or in the grass, troop transport and armored vehicles riddled with bullet holes, and the occasional flames burning away. "Thank Celestia for our buddies in the sky!" She heard somepony say. Although they could eliminate the threat, a little help won't hurt now and then. "Alright, listen up!" Ramirez heard her squad leader say "Just got word from our Platoon commander, 1st and 3rd squad will stay here to set up a roadblock while us and 4th squad would ride in the AVV towards a tank plant! Our mission is to assault and capture the plant! Am I clear?" "Yes, Sergeant!" We all yelled in unison. "Alright, 2nd squad, saddle up!" ======= Turning the TV off, Ramirez got up from the couch and made her way into the bedroom. She smiled at her little trip down memory lane, back when she was serving her country. Shoot, if she could, she'd do it all over again... 'All over again...' Once she was done brushing her teeth, the little changeling let out a yawn as she settled down in her bed. Soon enough, tiredness would slowly claim her as her eyelids felt heavy. '...All over again...' Finally, the small bug fell asleep.
