Returning to the Base Camp (2)

"You are…?" Nelson couldn't believe his eyes when suddenly, four unfamiliar Metadomes came out to rescue him from his predicament. His consciousness was already about to fade after that last all-out attack. He's ready to sacrifice himself so that his squad members could at least get a chance to survive and escape yet, at the very last second, hope descended on him.

Somehow or the other, a small spark of clinging to life flickered inside his head. Even if one flaunted being a hero, no one would be completely accepting of their death when they still have something or someone they would leave behind. That's why, Irina's arrival was nothing short of a miracle for him. If ever they really survived this predicament, he'd be filled with utmost gratitude towards his savior.
