Forward My Brave Soldiers" (Part 2 of 3)

The battle was seeming to go as planned. Grafton's unit had engaged 12 Jem'Hadar and killed them. Jem'Hadar fought hard and bitter. They fought 90% of the time to their death.

Jake was firing at a Jem'Hadar when he heard another Jem'Hadar come at him from his right flank. He quickly fired two shots, but the Jem'Hadar kept coming toward him.

When the Jem'Hadar was only three meters from him. Jake fired at his head, the shot found it's mark. The Jem'Hadar fell back as the side of his head separated from the rest of his body.

*My god this is horrible.* Jake thought to himself, as he looked around and saw the two parties of Jem"Hadar fighting very bitterly toward each other. He was reminded of the stories he read as a child about the American Civil War, and how bitter the fighting was, between both sides.

The battle was inflicting heavy losses on both sides, the Jem'Hadar loyal to the Vorta were dying and losing but inflicting heavy lost on the other, party of Jem'Hadar.

Jake scanned around to see and understanding the tide of the battle. He saw his men suffering over 50% losses. He knew the battle was turning for the worst, for his side.

*No! I refuse to lose. I've not lost a fight in many years, and I don't aim to now.* Jake thought to himself.

He turned to his men, and said. "Men link up with the other squad. We will mass our fire."

They quickly ran to the other squad firing and hitting a few. They met up with Gerana's squad and waited for a few minutes.

"It appears Lieutenant they are winning." Gerana said. "Okay on my call we throw every plasma grenade and let them go off. We'll then charge ahead and kill everything in front of us. We'll get them in hand to hand fighting."

"Ah are you sure your not a Jem'Hadar." Gerana said smiling.

Seven man squad threw their grenades and then took cover. The Grenades went off causing 12 deaths, and injuring others.

"On the count of three. One, Two, Three." Jake said as he stood up and ran toward the remaining Jem'Hadar and fired. His shots hit three Jem'Hadar, He ran up to one who was putting another power pack in his rifle.

Jake slammed his rifle across the Jem'Hadar's face. The sound of his face bones cracking were heard by Jake. The Jem'Hadar fell back, as blood began to run out of his nose, and mouth.

Jake then turned the Phaser around and fired at his head only a half a meter away.

Jake then saw another come at him. He dropped to his knee and fired three times, one shot hit the enemy in his stomach, and the other shot hit him in the knee. The third shot fired and missed, hitting the ground.

Grafton looked around him and saw the battle turning into a hand to hand fight, a rather bitter hand to hand fight. Jake then saw the opening to the ship unguarded and ran inside.

Jake ran down a dark hallway and found the Vorta's room was candle lit. And the Vorta with two guards. Jake fired and killed one guard while the other charged him.

Jake swung at him with his weapon, but missed. The Jem'Hadar punched Jake in the shoulder, causing Jake to fall on his side. Not wanting to give an inch. Jake quickly swept the Guard's leg causing him to fall on his back.

Jake went to look and found his weapon, when the Jem'Hadar pulled out his knife and it made a noise, grabbing Jake's attention. He quickly jumped to his feet and turned around.

"Ah, ha" The guard said brandishing his knife.

He then swung at Jake. He jumped back and was slashed by the knife in the forearm. Jake tried again to catch the guys arm and was slashed again, this time in the palm of his left hand.

Jake was frustrated and made like he was going to charge, but didn't. The Jem'Hadar fell for it. Jake kicked him in the stomach three times, rather hard, and then punched him in the head. The Jem'Hadar fell back and dropped his knife.

Jake went and grabbed the Jem'Hadar and began to slam his head on a fallen bulk head three times real hard. His head began to open up. The Jem'Hadar then head butted Jake causing him to fall back.

He then saw the knife and picked it up, and played dead as the Jem'Hadar staggered to get to his feet. Jake got up and slammed the knife into the Guard's throat.

The Guard fell dead. Jake felt rather beaten up. His shoulder hurt and his forehead was broken open. He found his weapon and saw the Vorta.

"Please, there are rules of war." The Vorta pleaded.

"I heard something about that." Jake then fired one shot into the Vorta's chest. He then walked over to the Vorta's body and spit on it.
