Escape

Our hero awoke several days later to darkness and an unbearable stench. He tried to move he was trapped but it was not stone or debris that kept him down but a mass grave that he had been thrown into. Frantically he shoved aside body after body and finally clawed his way to the top gasping for the sweet fresh air. Dazed and confused he crawled out of the pit only to be face to face with an Decimitian guard. The guard picked him up laughing and hurled him back into the grave. The alien stood at 9 feet tall an was an armored wall of pure muscle. It was armed to the teeth but for now it was entertained with toying with Steel. As Steel struggled to his feet the bastard gave him a brutal kick to the gut that knocked him back several yards. The guard moved to finish his game as he taunted Steel in some alien language when suddenly Steel struck back. He moved faster and hit harder than the guard had seen any human do in his many years of exterminating what was left of their civilization. The guard took a wild swing at Steel. The Decimitian was horrified as he felt the arm shatter. Something had awoken inside of Steel as he snapped the stunned guards neck. What it was he didn't know but he didn't have time to think about it. He scaled the wall and ran like hell into the night far away from the only thing he had known for too many years. He ran until he could no longer see the mines or the bodies, or the all the ones he left behind. He couldn't remember the last time he felt this tired, in fact to his horror he couldn't remember anything but the mines! Horrified, he crumpled the the ground and cried out to a God he was sure had long since abandoned him.
