As the pods burst open, a stream of insectoid creatures came pouring down the hill towards us. Our ion cannons began firing as our sergeant gave us the order to attack. My company fired. Blue balls of energy streaked towards the insectoids, bursting their newly formed air bubbles. When they exploded a fountain of blue, shiny blood rained down upon us. A cannon blew up on their rear line and forced a tremendous amount of energy rippling through their ranks. Their morale began to fail as our force ripped through their battalion.1
"Is this all they've got?" One of my mates yelled as he fired again. His blue bold zoomed towards an insectoid, splattering it's insides on the ground. The room was shining blue now, for the entire insectoid force had been wiped down to a small huddle in the corner. One cannon blast took care of them, painting the last bit of wall with their blood.2
After the battle our battalion, which lost not a soul, settled down in a nearby cave. Our tents were ragged and food was short but we still faught on. Our army had been stranded on an alien planet when we lost contact with the fleet somewhere above us. we had been moving from cave to cave, fighting the hideous insectoids along the way.3
I moved among the troops as I thought about our situation. The planet was full of these dreary caves and each one filled to the brim with insectoids. The insectoids were hideous creatures with air bubbles that formed around their mouths. A blue tail protruded from their backsides and their arms had spikes like a praying mantis. You could feel their malice a mile away, making our blood lust greater. We had to destroy them...

Hm...this moved too fast....perhaps more detailed action, armies charging, swarming around hem, etc...something like that.

P1: , after firing. , after exploded.
Is this finished? Is it going to continue? I guess i was left wondering what happened. I see that this is for a contest and do with you the best of luck. Though it definitely isn't my genre, i enjoyed the whole concept of the 'insectoids'. Kinda creepy. The voice of the story was strong with good structuring and convention. Details were full but there was little emotion. I guess if i were in the sitch, i would be freaking~ But hey, it's your baby, so have at it. Very well done with this:) Different, but fun:) I enjoyed it!Durian.
