*Dominic pulls himself up the last ledge on his way to the storm circle, sweat dripping down from his forehead. He stands up and looks at the storm circle opening in front of him. Though he didn't want to know what was happening back in the forest, he turned to see the village. His eyes instantly filled with tears when he saw his village engulfed in flames-- the orchestra of screams and gunshots was too much for Dominic. He quickly closed his eyes and ran to the centre of the storm circle.*

Dominic: No....

*He falls on his knees and starts chanting the prayer between uncontrolled sobs and sniffs...*

**********

Chris: Goldeye!! Stop daydreaming and flame the huts!! We have to burn this village down before those useless mudokons re-inforcements arrive from the nearby village!

Goldeye: Aye sir-- James!!

James: What!?

Goldeye: I could use some back up! Watch my back will ya! I'd hate to surprized by a mud!

James: Sure!

*Goldeye and James run to a croup of huts and Goldeye lets the flamethrower sing-- all the huts catch fire in the blink of an eye.
James tries to hold off the mudokons defending the village while Goldeye is burning the village down- but James haven't yet noticed a young mudarcher climbing up a tree almost above them. The mudokon loads his bow and aims it towards the gas tank of the flamethrower.*

Tidus: *closes his other eye whispering:* This is for my mother!

*The mudokon fires the bow and few seconds after the gas in Goldeye's back explodes up in flames-- taking the lives of both James & Goldeye.*

Chris: *gets knocked down by the force of the explosion* What the hell!?
*rolls over to see what happened-- seeing the burning corpses of his two loyal men*

Chris:...no! NO!!! *jumps up and accidently knocks over Amarant who tried to flee from the burning village*

Amarant&Chris: Whoa!

*Chris didn't hesitate to pull Amarant up and giving him a nasty punch to the jaw-- sending him back to the ground---unconscious.*

Chris:Shit...

*He hears a crack of thunder above him and looks up. The sky is filling with black storm clouds. Almost immediately soft drops of rain start to fall to the ground. Chris closes his eyes and covers his eyes with his hands.*

Chris: ...shit...
