A crack sounded out from bearded, as the butt of Carson's rifle collided with his jaw. Swinging the rifle down so that the barrel was pressed against the stumbling man's chest, and pulled the trigger again. The smell of gunpowder filled Carson's nose; he hadn't noticed it the first time, the adrenaline must have blocked it out. Without looking, Carson passed the man, when a familiar voice sounded out. "A little help, Car!" Carim! The boy was pinned down by a Taimener private by the entrance of the opposing airship. Already, Carim was bleeding from a cut on his head, and if the Taimener's blade reached his target, Carim would be good as dead.
Delivering a swift kick to the privates ribs, Carson felt some nasty recoil. "Dammit!"
Update time: As you've probably guessed, this short story teaser thing will go on for longer then 4 parts, but it still will be finished soon. Also, I plan to use this base idea for a manga I will be working on, so be on the lookout!
