A sage's fight, and a Rebel war

[Tatsu]

Nephra walked over to him and whispered in his ear. “Can I give a few words of my own?” She asked sweetly. With his approval she turned elegantly to the men in the room. “Wow, all men one female, don’t I feel special.” She laughed at her own little joke. Once done laughing she looked at all the men. “This mission wont be easy. You all may know this and you may know some of us wont make it back. I am standing in front of you as a formal general in the KG. One for the Eco department. I’ve been to countless war, even a small one with Zrion. This mission is like one of no other; we could be free from the war for once. If things go as planed we can destroy the last of the metal heads and the KG death bots.” Nephra spoke passionately. Her voice moving with each soldiers heart rate.

“If I may ask Zrion. Tatsu needs to hack into the main frame and find his files and plans he held for the war. I ask of you as friend, a sister if you will allow at least one of these men to go with him and help defend him.” She looked at the general with pleading eyes. She knew the risks she was taking now, going to the war factory. Having soldiers by her side once more. It hurt, feeling bad again.

*The Ram Head hit him, sending him flying in the air. She saw His quick movements with his weapon, a single blade. He slashed at the Ram head for minutes till finally he got exhausted. There in front of her eyes she saw the Ram head hit him, horn connecting into his jaw and throwing him back to the wall. She quickly reacted by getting her rifle and shooting the Ram head straight in the Head. It collapsed on the ground, lifeless as a dead tree.

She jumped down to the oasis and ran to him. His clothes were red, soaked with blood. She knelt down in front of him; she saw his jaw hanging bone to bone. “Soldier are you alive?” She asked him not thinking about his wound.

He put his hand up, thumbs up. She smiled at that. “Don’t worry I’ll get you out of here.” She said picking him up. She walked past the Bike, her Eco drove her will to carry and live. The desert felt pity on him and her, the storm sustained for a while. Before long the Waist Landers found them and helped them away.*

Nephra turned her head back to the men. “I also advise no one to work by me. I will kill you if I turn dark.” She said darkly. A man whistled.

“That’s my wife you’re whistling at.” Tatsu spoke up looking at the man.

“Zrion, can that man watch over my husband while we go destroy the damned place?” She asked sweetly.

[Darkjak87]

"IF he doesn't harm him." Zrion said firmly. "But I won't say you can't give him a thorough chewing out." The soldier, true to his title of Special Op, did not tremble or flinch, but didn't exactly seem overjoyed either. Zrion allowed himself a small grin. He really was proud to belong to this division, the hardcore soldiers, who practically had no fear at all. "Well you've got your orders. Move to the airfield, the aircraft should all be ready by now." The 28 Commandos quickly moved through the entrance, and double-timed to the airfield. "It's now or never you two!" Zrion called out. Zephan jumped up onto his shoulder, and Zrion double-timed it out of the tent, quickly catching up to the rest of the men.

[Tatsu]

Nephra jumped in and sat down next to one of the soldiers. She grabbed her husband’s metal arm and brought him up in as well. Once in the mood for war she was merciless. War was the only one time she could let her true self out. “Are you ready?” She asked Tatsu. She knew he was, he showed to emotion of fear or rage. He was calm as ever to her which brought up more memories of their past. One left dark yet light.

*She was in their living room. An apartment they had just moved into not to long ago. She held their newborn Remi in her hands and her hips swayed with mother hood. She just got off of work, now not working for the KG anymore she spent her time singing to the people of Haven. As a Diva. She smiled as she was with her daughter, a newborn was the most beautiful of things one can have, or witness, or be with.

A creek came down the hall. She stopped and looked back. “Done already Hun?” She yelled back thinking it was her loving husband and formerly new light sage. She walked down the hall and opened the door to her daughter’s room, where the sound was made. As she opened the door her thoughts and everything went numb. Turning to fear. *

Tatsu looked at her. Before they got to the central tent he had put his cloths on again. Covering his horrifying scars. “As ever. Be safe, and watch you temper.” He spoke quietly to her. He felt the men’s uncomfortable ness with his mechanical arm and light Eco tubes from it hooking up into his skin. Which with the arm cloth going all the way down made sure it were merely several bumps.

“Zrion lets not fail this.” Tatsu said looking at the respected new general.

[Darkjak87]

Zrion nodded, and strapped himself into a seat between two soldiers, opposite Tatsu. He pressed his radio button. "Already everyone, hold onto your helmets!" The pilots of the 4 dropships took that as his cue, and the aircraft lurched as it raised into the sky. Most everyone covered their ears as a deafening noise was heard. Zrion couldn't help but to smile. The sound of an entire fleet roaring to life and taking off was beautiful in these times of crisis. He looked through the door, and saw jet after jet fly down the runway before rocketing up into the sky. Apache attack helicopters were lifting up from the ground on all sides, flying ahead. The massive fleet quickly arranged itself, with the F-35 in front, the Apaches in the middle, and the Ospreys bringing up the rear. "Alright, that's everything! Hit that war factory with all you've got!" With an enormous screeching sound, the F-35s shot ahead, towards the war factory towering nearby. Missiles and machine gun fire was already heard as the KG defenses engaged the attacking fleet. The F-35s were joined soon after by the slower attack helicopters, which added their bombardment of weapons into the enemy fleet. "Alright Commander!" The pilot yelled backwards over the noise of the dogfight. "The KG are pretty tied up, we're moving to the drop zone now!" Zrion nodded, and the pilot returned his attention to the skies ahead. He looked around. "All right men, be ready to go in hot, there's sure to be a welcoming party!"

Barely thirty seconds passed before the pilot spoke again. "Alright, it's gonna be hot! Landing in One Zero seconds!" Most of the soldiers through their harnesses off, and the drop ship lurched one final time. "ALRIGHT, HIT IT MEN!" Zrion yelled. With a deafening battle cry, the 28 special operations soldiers surged from the 4 drop ships that landed. They were met immediately by the deathbots guarding the surface. The 28 soldiers let out a devastating hail of lead that cut them down in mere seconds. "Alright, landing zone secure sir!" One soldier yelled to Zrion. "Zrion pressed his button. "All airborne units, fall back to the base at this time, I repeat, fall back to the base!" The sounds of the battle quickly faded as the KG fleet turned tail, and flew back towards the base. The KG planes didn't pursue them far, prefering the guard their base. "Alright, we're officially on our own now! You know the plan, divide up into your squads and move out!" Zrion took command of first squad, and led them into the metal maw that was the War Factory. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see second squad doing the same in the other entrance. One soldier stayed behind though, it was Tatsu's 'bodyguard'.

[Tatsu]

Tatsu looked at his ‘bodyguard’ he spoke faintly. “Stay beside me the whole time, no wondering off even if you see a shiny red button. Keep your ears open all the time. Were heading into a death trap, the place that powers the station, you know the uhh… command post. The files are there. If I know Praxis, he always kept two files of everything.” Tatsu said taking off into the Factory. As they lurked in he noticed the Soldier keeping close eye on everything around. “You won’t die, I will keep you safe enough.” He spoke comforting words without even realizing it.

A squad of Death bots came towards them. “Now is the time to be firing.” Tatsu said bringing his scythe out. The man said something he didn’t catch. He launched at the Bots and started to slice into them like they were mere toys, wood, paper. Before long more were coming, Blade beaters, and Sentinels came. He was alarmed at how quickly they learned of his and the soldiers presence. The place was built well just in case anyone entered.

Nephra ran down the metal halls. Her squad behind her all waiting to fire. She stopped at a corner and looked past it with her face only revealing. She saw a squad of Bots and told the men to get ready. Her flail was by her side and she was ready as ever again, unlike the day of her heart break. She turned and swung her flail at the Bots, the soldiers came and started to shoot to.

*Their staring in her eyes was a Juice Goon. How it got in there she had no idea. She quickly slammed the door and ran out the hall. Her first thought was to get the cell phone and call her husband. She ran intot he living room, not letting go of their child she ducked down and grabbed the small cellular phone. The Goon came pout blasting at stuff.

She dialed his number and waited for his reply. Nothing came. “Dam it!” She yelled maddened. She had to keep her daughter safe but how? She looked around. The corner was good, it would be safe their daughter. She set her daughter down and put a blanket under her and around her as a little border.

She got up and looked at the Goon in its eyes, yellow as the sun as always.*

[Darkjak87]

Zrion, the self-designated point man, looked carefully around the corner. Spotting 8 deathbots, he brought his head back. He signed with his fingers and hands that there were 8 deathbots around the corner, in order to preserve stealth. He reached into a compartment on his armor, and extracted a silencer. He twisted it onto the barrel of his AK-47, and shouldered the weapon. Zrion signaled, and the 14 men swung around the corner, firing in bursts and single shots from their silenced weapons. The 8 death bots fell before they could even turn around. "Good work." He whispered. Quite a few clangs and clicks were heard as the squad reloading their weapons. "Alright keep moving." He whispered again. The squad continued to move up.

The soldier reacted quickly, bringing his silenced M4 Carbine around, and firing in 3 round bursts at his adversaries. His aim was exceptional, and each one of his shots hit home, disabling or destroying a death bot every time he pulled his trigger.

[Tatsu]

Tatsu ran down cutting down the Death bots as he went. The one she missed the bodyguard hit with his rifle. Before long they got the place he needed to be. “Sit and stay quiet.” He told the soldier as he went to the machine. He sat in a chair and started to type fast. His body turned light but no wings came. A field went around them. He started to hack into everything there was. He could make this pile of junk land into the ground if he wanted to, into the metal head nest but wouldn’t. He seemed to know where he was going with it. No eyes didn’t help much people but it improved him. His fingers moving rapidly, his head moving with every sentence the computer gave.

Nephra jumped into the air and flung the flail down into the Death Bot that was attacking the men and her. Lightly landing on the ground she smiled and looked at all the men. “Yall right?” She gave a Texan accent. She loved to destroy and build things; it was more of a hobby for her. All her men gave her a yes and they went on. “How much further?” She asked one of them.

*She got up and looked at the Goon. The eyes of death showed. She saw a knife on the counter. She could make it if she tried but who knew what would happen. Just as she took a step the front door opened and in came Tatsu. “Watch out!” She yelled out to him. Seeing her husband look around, blindfolded made her worried.

The Goon swung his spear gun and hit Tatsu’s side making him land into the wall. She looked devastated and in pain. The Goon lifted his body with the spear and threw it across, it did so several times. *

[Darkjak87]

Zrion and his squad encountered the first divergence in their path. "Alright, here is where we split into our fireteams. Fireteam A, and Fireteam B. Fireteam A will go that way." Zrion pointed to the left. "And Fireteam B will go that way." He pointed to the right hallway. "If the schematics we stole are correct, then we should meet up again in the generator room, as planned. Get going!" The Fireteams took their paths, and Zrion led fireteam B to the right, walking cautiously and quietly.

One of the soldiers answered Nephra. "A little up ahead there should be two hallways. We're supposed to separate into our fireteams there, and form the pincer movement he mention."

The bodyguard relaxed slightly, but kept his weapon ready regardless, as he had been trained. The last thing a KG Commando wanted was to be caught off guard.

[Tatsu]

Tatsu sliced into everything the security cameras and more. He wanted to see and he saw what was unbelievable. He saw Erol making an escape and young man running out. The two seemed to have been fighting for some time. Erol looked different, he was now mechanical. He grabbed a com and clicked the button. “Zrion we have trouble. Seems Erol isn’t dead, he had a few modifications. I think he is the one under the attacks and such.” Tatsu spoke fast. He continued until he finally got to a file.

Nephra ran up the hall and told the a team to the left and the b team to the right. She went with the b team and they took off down the hall. More Death bots came, one after another. She attacked with the other men and didn’t stop till she saw all the death bots in pieces.

*His body flew more and more. He was getting bloody. Finally he got up from one and attacked the Goon. He punched its head then slammed his leg down into its stomach. Before long it was gone and out of the way. He turned to look at Nephra when suddenly the spear went through his arm, severing it from his body. It went down with a thump and so did he. Blood splattered everywhere.

Nephra ran over. Frantic she grabbed a pistol from the drawer and shot the metal head in the head ending its life. She then went to the aid of her husband who was on the floor bleeding.*

Tatsu looked at the file; he found the locations of the Eco crystals. And his war plans. He grabbed a data stick and shoved it into he main computer. He started to download the file. “Okay we have, we’ll be right down.” He said getting up. He had shut down all turrets above and all defense systems. He was ready to get out of the place.

[Darkjak87]

Zrion and fireteam B entered the generator room. Barely 4 seconds later, fireteam A entered from the opposite side. Zrion's eyes widened for just a moment. Over 46 deathbots stood guard in the room. Well, it wasn't exactly unexpected. Zrion signaled frantically to the squad across the room, and the squad behind him. The two squads thundered into the room, firing their weapons into the KG masses.
