the parachute.
                  Captain Steele thought he saw the parachute and headed in that direction. He saw someone else enter the storm and head straight for the same parachute. He got within arms reach of the parachute when the hair on his arms started to tingle and lift. He imminently pulled his arm back as a bolt of lightning stuck where his arm had just been. He moved back towards the parachute and grabbed it with one hand when Exodus grabbed the parachute.
                  “This is mine! You go find your own!” Exodus yelled.
                  Captain Steele held on and looked for another parachute and all he could see was the ocean's surface approaching fast.
                  “I jumped out that transport first. I grabbed this one first. This one is mine!” yelled Captain Steele.
                  “Screw you!”
                  “Drop dead!”
                  Captain Steele and Exodus begin fighting over the parachute. They exchanged blows several times until Captain Steele got hit hard in the face.
                  “This is your end Omega,” yelled Exodus.
                  Captain Steele could see the sea approaching fast. He had to open the parachute in a couple seconds if he wanted to live. Captain Steele went for a kick to Exodus' groin followed by a punch to the face. Captain Steele put Exodus into a head lock and choked him. He then gave him one quick knee to the stomach. Exodus let go of the parachute as Captain Steel put the parachute on, pushing Exodus downward, and pulled the cord. The parachute opened as Exodus fell away and towards the ocean's surface.
                  Captain Steele landed into the ocean waves hard knocking the air out of him. The parachute's heavy canopy got twisted around him, ballooned, and took on water dragging him under as he got caught in the wires. He struggled to remove the parachute but he failed. The cords were wrapped around him preventing him from removing the parachute. He reached for his knife only to find that it wasn't there. He was being dragged under without any air. His ears were ringing and hurting from the pressure. He was becoming lightheaded when he noticed another body falling to the bottom of the ocean. He tried to move over to the body for their knife but was making little progress. Everything was going dark as he struggled harder and harder. He felt as if his head was going to explode.
                  Captain Steele reached again for the body and was able to get a finger on it and pulled it closer. He grabbed the knife off the body and cut the cords from the parachute just as everything went dark.
     
                  Captain Steele awoke on the beach of a small island to the sounds of movement a few hours later. He rolled over and coughed before quickly recalling what had happened. He quickly remembered that he had been skydiving on a training mission before hitting the water and almost drowning. The sounds of movement became louder as they were approaching. He looked for a weapon and found nothing. He got up and ran into the jungle where he knew he had concealment. Out on the beach he had no way to defend himself or hide.
                  As Captain Steele was running for the jungle he heard a male yell “Over there! Open fire!”
                  Captain Steele turned quickly to the left and slid under a large tree branch. As soon as he slid under it gun fire erupted. He could hear the rounds flying into the tree. He didn't think they would use live rounds during this training mission. He has never used live rounds in a training scenario where he would be shot at without first being told that was the case. He quickly figured that maybe this isn't part of the training and they are hostile threats. He continued to climb under the tree's roots.
                  “He's around here
