Traitor?

I didn't have to wait long for all the fires to go out. Thanks to the absurd amount of oxygen around due to all the trees, the fires burned hot and fast.

I was overseeing the battle formation to make sure my plan would succeed. the warrior caste would swarm in for about 10 to 15 second to allow the defenders their standard defence strategy afterwards my 'shield wall' would deploy  charging in rapidly with the rest of the elite caste, bar the psionic agitator who will stay back and order the warrior drones, we should get to the defenders fast enough as even though the shield wall is linked together then can still run at 20mph in that state. Even with my heavy power armour on I can run at that speed easily thanks to all my enhancements. I don't even need to use my Gyrokinesis to make the suit weigh less on this planet.

At the Psionic agitators Order the warriors and drones let out small shrieks, I had a feeling their were showing off for me, and started flooding off towards their preys direction. I only had to wait for a short time before we sprung into action but with every second i could feel my adrenaline spiking once again, each second seemed to grow longer and longer. I could hear my own heartbeat pounding strongly, This was not fear that I was feeling like back inside of the nest a short while ago, no this felt primal in a sense. I felt like I had gone back thousands of years in my human evolution. I was an invader, a conquer, a plunderer, A predator. I was taking what is 'mine' from those that aren't like me.

Snapping my head up at the perfect time, The gene-altered warrior shield wall in front of me started to advance. 

"TO WAR!"

The siege had begun and Ker'Mon'Ard was relaying Orders across his defensive position. As soon as the first wave of the swarm came over a nearby ridge point  the order to fire at will was given. salvo upon salvo was fired upon the swarm casualties were piling up rapidly, but the defenders knew this was but a drop in the pond and if they let up even for a moment that drop would turn into a tidal wave and wash over them leaving none alive.

A minute passed and the swarm had only gained 10 meters from that ridge point that may not seem like a lot but for the defenders it had only been a minute and the enemy were already pushing a lot harder than usual. Ker'Mon'Ard was firing a arm mounted plasma minigun from inside of his suit he barely had to look towards the direction of his foe while firing this so he could better strategize the defence and the reload was just pouring liquid helium into the cooling rack which was done by auxiliary support officers at the moment. As he was racking up kills he noticed an abnormality coming over the ridge. 

It looked like one of their battle tanks a dark metallic grey mass charging over and down the hill towards the centre of the defences. noticing That most of the ballistic weapons that were fired towards it were just pinging off in ricochet. 

Ker'Mon'Ard was confused, and being confused  in the middle of a battlefield was a terrible action. The grey mass was charging closer at ludicrous speeds. it was evident him now that the grey mass wasn't a tank but some sort of modified swarm species and whatever it was doing was a new tactic the swarm has not practiced before. This frightened Ker'Mon'Ard and again fright is not a good thing in the middle of a battle.

"All weapons fire on the grey wall!" He screamed at his defensive force. Trusting their commander the Defences hailed all they had towards the grey wall was looming ever closer. Bullets continued to ping off and plasma and other energy based weapons seemed to just be absorbed by the wall. The only thing that seemed to slow the thing down was the heavy mounted weapons but there were either to few or not powerful enough to bring the wall to a holt. 

Having all weapons focus on the wall may have been the right idea but it also allowed the rest of the warriors to advance a large distance and in but a few moments the wall and the swarm would be right on top of them. 

Under the constant, desperate fire the wall finally made it to the centre of defensive line instead of crashing into the hastily built barricades the wall stopped just before them and almost instantaneously a hole formed in the centre. Ker'Mon'Ard was going to use this chance to mow down whatever was behind the wall instantly but what he saw made him take pause. confusion morphed into anger and the only word he could muster that made sense to the bizarre happening was "TRAITOR!"

We were almost at the enemies frontline now. I had to admit to myself when I heard the sheer amount of firepower barraging the front of the shield wall I was very nervous. I thought the sheer volume alone would crack the armour these warriors had but I am glad my nervousness was for nothing. As were arriving towards the enemies barricades I took a fast glance around me to my left was Orchid wielding her two swords to my right was the Stalker hunkering down a little so her big frame was below the wall itself the the freethinker from before and another one were behind me along with a large sum of elite caste this force would mow through the defence one we get there and we are about to do so.

Once the shield wall arrived Infront of the barricade the two warriors at  the centre most location In front of me parted ways and made a small gap that would continue to open slightly. I didn't wait for it to open any more though, As the vanguard as soon as I could fit through it I lunged through and over a barricade. A ker'min defender was in front of me its large green eyes riddled with an emotion thats universally recognised. Fear.

Supressing any emotion that may come from seeing pure fear in somethings eyes until after the fight, I wielded Zircon and swung sharply beheading the Ker'min in front of me. not having a second to spare I proceeded to charge forward. Orchid and the stalker had gone their respective ways creating a bloodbath in their wake while the rest of the hive also proceeded to overwhelm the frontline defence.

I had taken out a few more Ker'mins before a Voice that had mild traces of Psionic energy was directed towards me. "TRAITOR!" looking towards the direction the shout came from and understanding some of the Ker'min language after years of studying it I saw a figure. It was about 6ft2 in a power amour much less protective than mine but the minigun he was pointing towards me felt like no Joke.

Knowing their was no time for quipping and joking like you may see on tv, I beelined towards a nearby vehicle-cum-barricade and not a moment to soon as thousands upon thousands of plasma shots came hurling towards me. as I got behind the vehicle I could feel the weapon ripping though its material. Knowing I could not stay behind the vehicle for too long so I took a gamble. I ripped off one of its doors and after a microsecond of pumping myself up left my cover with my new makeshift shield and hauled ass towards the minigun maniac.

As soon as I left cover I started at him in a  curved pattern. With my current speed this made a lot of the shots miss but at the same time I was up against a plasma minigun and even more shots hit. I was 10 meters away and beelined right towards the guy, my temporary shield gone now under the direct fire I turned my body slightly sideways my suit eating up a lot of damage. any further and I would have ended up seriously injured. Thankfully I had made it to my enemy. 

I couldn't slow down to line up a swing with Zircon so I just shoulder tackled into the suit sending it flying. My enemy recovered surprisingly quickly and raised his arm mounted minigun once more, not quick enough however as I detached the Ker'mins arm from the rest of its body with Zircon before it could resume its barrage of fire. It held its arm and let out a gurgling rage cry before screaming at me "You POUNOU!!! You TRAITOR. How could you side with our greatest enemy! How co-"

Before it could resume its barrage of misinformed insults I ran Zircon through the Ker'mins visor ending his life.
