A dark object,a mere silhouette in the darkness,Nothing more.
But in a moment's notice,the dark dull object came to life,it roared and spewed a bolt of molten fire  from it's mouth with a scream that echoed throughout the mining camp.

The bolt of lightning that went forward was soon covered by a red mist,followed by a thud as the body fell down flat.

through a vision blurred by sweat and dust,Arcturus could see what has happened,A shot was fired,But it wasn't a he who was fated to fall, Atlas came out from behind the limp object that was once considered as a thing of life.his shotgun,Cracked and dusty as it's owner but still kicking,Hanging steadily on his hands. "you okay?",Atlas asked. nodding and quickly clearing his senses,Arcturus quickly replied "yea yea, I'm good.. thanks Atlas". Atlas then walked forward slowly and softly nudging the body,which turned it around to reveal some man in uniform,a red one at that,with an insignia of some sort and three bold letters, "R.E.D.?,what's that supposed' to mean?" Atlas asked. "I dunno either"Arcturus replied,"But what i do know is that there's a bunch'a armed men running amuck in the camp,We gotta' alert everyone else",and with that the two men nodded and ran separate ways,each making their way to the sleeping quarters.

The bedrooms of the entire campsite was simple and nothing to fancy,Just a steel framed bed complete with an itchy blanket,a pillow and a mattress. Arcturus made his way and shook all of the sleeping men,Some groaned and cursed at why they were being woken up at such an hour,while others absent mindedly made their way to their cupboards and started putting on their work clothes,all the while sighing and muttering to themselves.Arcturus wanted to laugh but now wasn't a time for slacking,their lives was in danger and he had to quickly alert all of the miners. "Listen up!" Arcturus yelled,All eyes on him as he took a deep breath and a moment to think,"We got some no'gooders in the campyard",Some of the miners who thought this was a joke soon discovered that it wasn't from the look in Arcturus' eyes."You guys gotta' get yourselves some weapons,those who dunno'how to fight go wake up the other miners,Those who can,Grab something you can use".

Some of the miners looked a bit disturbed,some even shaking a little bit,"But Arc'" asked one,"We gunna'..fight these guys?,I mean' They probably have them'big guns,what do we have?". He was right,All the miners had were shotguns that was cracking and blunderbusses that was only good against the occasional rodent problem,but other than that,a blunderbuss against well trained men was like signing a death warrant.

"we still have to try" Arcturus finally replied,"we'll also might need some help,The foreman's office might have a telephone or somesort,Maybe we can se that".
Still,this did not calm the miners,they all looked uncomfortable,some even frightened."WAIT!" a miner suddenly said,"I remember an abandoned mine around here,No body goes in there anymore,but i remember hearing that someone left a huge cache o' supplies or sumthin' like dat" this news was comforting to say the least,Because Even Arcturus was struggling to think. "alrighty then,Atlas is a good with dirt,We'll send him and a crew to see whether this story is true",
"What will WE be doin' Arc?" the  miners asked nervously.

"we're gonna' buy'em time,time for some fireworks"

not the type of stuff I usually read (well honestly I avoid reading if I can :D) - it is well written, the "dialog" (if thats the right word) is well put - the only thing that may need work is the description of the setting in which the characters are acting out the scene.
