An original piece in MY art gallery?! D:
Edit: Enlarge it if you can. o.O It looks better.

--We had been fighting an uphill battle against the Zhargoone Empire for weeks now. Throwing battalions of men at their outpost, many of whom are now dead, their visors lighting up with a white holograph of their skull... a tell-tale sign of a soldier's demise. We were losing..
horribly. I myself have already lost an arm and my left eye as a result of one of those damned elves and their energy weapons.

Just when we believed that all we had fought for was in vain, we heard a crack in the air, the sound of a thousand storms raining down over us. Through the din I knew what I heard. It was the 222nd Hellhounds breaching the atmosphere in their drop pods, come to rain death on our enemies. Surely our losses would mean something now. The impact from the pods left gaping holes in the enemy positions. Every pod held the wrath of three Hellhound Shock Troopers. There was a momentary silence, then a crack of explosive bolts blowing the hatches open on the pods.

The Shock Troopers of the 222nd were clad in black armor and their visors showed the Mark of Death in red. They are the epitome of fear on the battlefield.

What we heard next was a disgusting amount of firepower. Rifles popping in rapid succession, the clanking of depleted shells bouncing to and fro. Every bullet hitting its mark. HE Grenades blowing our enemies limb from limb. In moments the air was filled with smoke and debris, and the smell of blood hung thick in the atmosphere.

When the sound died down and the smoke began to clear.. Nothing was left of the outpost. Just the husks of the buildings, and the broken, mangled corpses of our enemies who once occupied and held them. Just as quickly as they came, the 222nd Shock Troopers regrouped and shuffled West. It's like they were never even here...

Apart from the destruction they wrought in their path. That will always remain.

Kind of from a story i've had in the back of my mind for a while now. :/ Hope you enjoy! :D
