PRIDE
 Dark armor shining in the sun.
 I stand before my enemy.
 Fear, fear I see, I smell, I taste.
 
 My senses tingle, my skin
 Bristles.
 
 Defiant creatures I live to fight.
 I charge, hot blue energy flies,
 Striking, searing flesh.
 
 Down the infidel drops,
 Dead, a heap in mud.
 
 Laughing I keep moving.
 Running, ducking, bullets
 Wiz over head.
 
 I round a corner,
 Nearly crashing into my foul
 Enemy.
 
 Shock, surprise I see, fear I almost taste.
 I drop my arm
 Lashing out, metal collides, into soft skin and bone.
 
 Crunch, scream
 Sounds I enjoy to hear.
 I move on, passing my dead foe.
 
 I look around,
 Many of my brethren gone.
 Anger arises, threatening to consume.
 
 I look left, streams of red mixed
 With blue, mixed with purple.
 I am superior.
 
 Green metal flashes,
 My heart races.
 Pride and anger take control.
 
 Dodging around trees, rocks, and burned out vehicles.
 I sneak closer, carefully.
 Perching atop a cliff, I wait to strike.
 
 Patients I do not always have.
 Jumping, I ambush my prey.
 Slamming into bulky armored body.
 
 I throw us off balance.
 We crash to the ground.
 Snarling I roll to my feet, weapon poised.
 Lightening strikes, rifle flies.
 
 My foe is fast, very fast.
 I grab around its wrists.
 I try to crush, through metal, through bone.
 
 One arm breaks free.
 Glint of sliver, shimmering shield.
 Pain floods my chest.
 
 I stumble backward.
 My hands hot and sticky with my own blood.
 A green fist slams into my head.
 
 My mind reels, I go down.
 Why, why human infidel.
 Blackness surrounds me.
 Blackness takes me.
 
 I welcome it.
