With a startled jerk, Brynn looks around before spotting her. With a few words, she has the scattered soldiers regroup into a wall against the monsters. They slowly push them back, careful to avoid the stomachs of the pregnant slashers. More explosions follow as the exploders are detonated, making it easier for them to take down the remaining necromorphs. There are still around twenty left. Suddenly, all the soldiers fall back, and throw grenades to the front before diving for cover. The grenades explode one after the other, blowing the rest of the monsters to kingdom come, body parts flying all over the place as the explosions tear into their bodies. The battle against the monsters is over. They have won.
Brynn immediately rushes over to Olivia, her helm lowering on the way, and hugs her tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Oh my god I was so worried! I thought you were dead!" She wails. Pyro bounds over to them and hugs them as well, shaking as the adrenaline from the battle starts to wear off. The weary soldiers turn to Brett. "Lay down your weapons, Brett! It's over! You've lost!" Warren yells. The fighting and clanging stops, and Brett looks around him, as if seeing the rest of the battlefield for the first time. Olivia notices that Alex has a bleeding cut across his cheek, one across his chest where the first had landed but not cut, one across his arm, and one on his leg. Brett on the other hand was a mess. His face, arms, legs, and chest were cut in multiple places, green blood running from the wounds. "So... I really have lost..." He murmurs. "Just stop, Brett. Stop fighting." Alex says, panting heavily. Brett looks at Alex for a long minute before sitting on the floor. "Yeah. I suppose you're right. It's time to stop fighting..." He murmurs. Then, he picks up one of his swords, kisses the hilt, rests the point at the center of his chest, and with a deep breath, drives it straight in. He jerks and gasps as the blade pierces him, falling to the side as his life bleeds out of him.
