“Let‟s go!” he shouted as his Marines let out a war howl and surged after him.<br />
<strong>The</strong> air hummed and buzzed as Hawkins Marines cut a swath through Centurion<br />
Looking to his left, Hawkins sighted a Centurion that was at that moment driving<br />
its Vibro-blade through the skull of one of his Marines.<br />
Hawkins saw red and hefted his own blade. “Hey you fraking toaster!” he shouted<br />
as he drew the blade back for powerful swing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Centurion turned towards him and raised his own blade to block.<br />
That‟s when Hawkins pulled his pistol and shot an explosive round into its head.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Centurion fell to the deck in a smoking heap as the explosive round<br />
disintegrated his head.<br />
Hawkins chuckled. I‟m sure Magus won‟t mind the use of one little explosive<br />
round. He thought to himself as he took sight of the Centurion Commander near the<br />
breach.<br />
“He‟s calling in reinforcements from the ship.” One of the Marines shouted<br />
before being struck down by a Cylon blade.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> hell he is.” Hawkins snarled as he took off at a dead run at the gold plated<br />
Cylon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Centurion Commander took notice of his attacker as Hawkins came running<br />
at him with anger in his soul that was so real, he felt like he was wreathed in flames.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cylon turned and dew its sword, swinging it in a low arc attempt to take out<br />
Hawkins legs. <strong>The</strong> wily marine saw it coming though and gathered all of his strength into<br />
a leap that took him above the blade as it tugged at the soles of his boots.<br />
Reaching down, Hawkins thrust his blade forward with all of the hatred he could<br />
muster.<br />
It pierced the gold plated Cylon Commander right in the center of its red eye.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Commander trembled for a long moment as Hawkins brought the Vibroblade<br />
out through the top of its metal skull. Finally, it fell to the ground.<br />
Looking into the door breach Hawkins could see the Cylon ship on the other side,<br />
attached to the airlock. He could also see the Cylon reinforcements approaching.<br />
