RED START
Jacob stared out of the window of the dropship as it sped through the frigid air of the planet. The snow sept past the dropship and slightly displaced it's flight. It was eerily quiet inside of the ship as no one was talking. The battle ahead would be a hell of a fight and would be the major deciding battle over who would control the valley. Little did any of the soldier know that at the end of the day, they would be brothers. Jacob tuned around to face the accompanying soldier that he was put it charge of. "All right, listen up! We are gunna land in the valley, push our way up to the front line, and kick any blue ass that we see! Is that clear!?" The other soldier gave a resolving 'Hoorah!' as the dropship neared it's destination. The pilot looked back at the soldiers. "ETA, five minutes!"

BLUE START
Sargeant Briggs stood at the outpost's forwar window and watched as he saw hundreds of Confederation dropships hurtling towards their front line. Just as he was about to order his men to suit up, an alarm started blaring, which signified that a battle was about to ensue. Mark raised up his assault rifle and ran to the stairs that led to the outpost roof. "I want anti-air guns up here on the double!" Briggs turned around and pulled two snipers aside. "I want you two to scout up into the mountain side and provide sniper fire for all of the front line defenders." They both saluted and took off for an aft ladder that led down towards the mountain side. "How much time do we have?" A soldier walked up behind him with a piar of binoculars and grinned. "Just about five minutes sir."

The big EH
caboose walked around the main area of the base asking various people what exactly was going on and at the same time ensuring "shelia" his shotgun which is named after an old tank that everything will be alright

Swimming Bird
Jacob grinned as he saw a large group of soldiers waiting silently for their arrival to try and basically attempt to stave them off. "When we touch the ground, I want all of you to at least get one kill!" Just as he finished speaking, the dropship was hit by an Anti Air round and was knocked well off trajectory. Smoke plumed into the dropship's holding area and began to fill the cockpit. The pilots look back and started to talk amongst each other. Through all of the panic and screaming, Jacob could only make out the words, "Set it down!"

Briggs watched as dropship after dropship came close but missed the drop zone and had to ineviatably turn around. "I'd be surprised if even one soldier made up here..." Right as the last word left his mouth, a heavy battle helicopter flew up to the view window and unloaded two thousand AP rounds into the view window. All Briggs could see was a blurrly outline of the room and the flaming wreckage of the chopper slam into the lower part of the building. "What happened?" A marine that was on the ground next to him pointed to the ground. "You saved me?" He nodded quickly and resecured his weapon.

Swimming Bird
Jacob looked over at the pilot's who were panicking and trying as hard as they could to stabilize the plummeting dropship. Finally after realizing that it was impossible to correct the ships trajectory, they turned and looked at the other passengers. "Brace yourselves. We're gunna hit up in that mountainous region." Then the pilots turned and sealed off the cockpit. Jacob ran up to the door and slammed his fist up against it. "God damnit! There's no way you'll survive the crash from in there!" The pilots hit the comm and explained. "We're going to make sure that this thing is as slow as possible when you hit." Jacob stepped back. "How the hell are you goin-" The sound of gunshots and breaking glass could be heard and the air impacted the door slightly.

Jedireaper
((nice intro.. How do I join?))

Swimming Bird
((However you want. you can even be in the crashing drop if you want.))

Jedireaper
((Do I make a character up or can I not post a bio? I prefer blundering into things))

Jedireaper
((I'll make a bio later))

Jon Mistara gripped the release harnesses as the dropship bounced about from the wind turbulance. He watched Jacob slam his fist against the cockpit door.

***

Private Konal Riker held on tight to the grips on his flight harness as the pilots weaved the dropship between the sparatic fire from the Anti-aircraft batteries. The reports from the first assult wave wasn't good. He hope the second wave would fare better. The thoughts were barely out of his mind when the dropship shook from a glancing hit. The pilots wrestled for control as the dropship lived up to its name, by dropping. After what seemed like a full minute of uncontrolled freefall, which only lasted ten tourcherous seconds, the craft stabilised. "ETA is thirty seconds. Shouted one pilot as the others hands flew over the controls.

Swimming Bird
Jacob held his breath for what seemed like an eternity which in reality was just a few mear seconds until the dropship contacted the ground. The hull of the ship started to dent inward from all side and it started to rock uncontrolable. It began to skip on the surface as it plummetted to the ground. Finally after what seemed life hours, the ship stabled out and began to slide forward until it lost all of it's momentum. Jacob was thrown forward onto his hands and knees.

Jedireaper
The harnesses holding Jon in place snapped and he was thrown free from them to smack into the dented metal walls. The last thing he knew, was the dropships momentum stopping. Then he blacked out. (He will awake when you see to him.)

***

Riker felt every bump and every his as the AA fire continued to rain upwards. Then suddenly the dropship was hit directly. The cockpit exploded in a ball of flames that extinguished them selves as an even bigger problem created itself for the two dead pilots, the valley floor.

Swimming Bird
Jacob looked over at the fallen soldier lying unconcious on the floor. "Get a battlefield doctor on him. See if you can save him. We need all the soldiers we can get for this assault." Jacob turned around to bark more orders but was cut short as the door of the dropship slid open to reveal a red trooper who looked like he was in a horrible condition.

Jedireaper
The field medic jumped to the order of seeing to Mistara but as he pushed the body onto the recovery position he noticed the other RED trooper stumble forward. A concussion suddenly took second priority over major wounds. And he looked bad.

***

The dropship hit with tremendous force, bouncing up and down while rotating in the same direction of momentum. The roll ended as the dropship crashed into massive rocky outcropping that jutted out from the valley floor.

Konal was thrown free from his harnesses and into the captain, who flew from his restraints and into the jagged, broken glass of the blackened cockpit's viewports (Edit: windscreens). His neck was cut deeply by the glass but when Riker impacted, the glass punctured the captains ostophagus, releasing air and letting the captain drowned on his own blood.

Swimming Bird
Jacob spun around ad faced the medic. "Did I say tend to his wounds!? Get back to Mistara now! That's an order. That soldier out there isn't one of ours, he's not our jurasdiction." The wounded soldier approuched. "They.. all of them.. I couldn't save them..." Jacob looked angered by the soldier. "Spit it out!" The soldier snapped up slightly. "There were unknown hostiles attacking my unit.. they're not human at all."

Jedireaper
The medic complied with some reluctnce checking then clearing Mistara to be ok. He would awake soon. The medic the stepped over his body to the badly wounded soldier. "Permission 'sir'?" He stressed as he removed some medical supplies from his bag. He then motioned the soldier to come into the dropship. The soldier hesitated as severe pain crossed his face, he looked like he had a massive cramp. The blood covering his body, belonging to him or not, said otherwise.

***

Shells began to rain in on the dropped dropship, exploding and throwing dirt into the air. The dirt fell on Riker through the open air cockpit. This brought his senses back and he removed himself from the captain's person. He then spoke to the captain. "Sorry sir, my harnesses snapped- sir? SIR!" Riker noticed the jagged glass cutting deep into his throat. He then checked the captains pulse. There wasnt one. He then looked in the cabin to find that the troops had all gone, except for fellow, dead REDs he was alone. He picked up his dropped assualt rifle and checked all his equipment, Then exited the smashed up dropship, to a war-zone. Motar fire rained in on the area as RED troops were moving in. The thumming sound of another dropship passed overhead while flack lit the already light sky around it. It suddenly exploded and the ball of fire crashed into a bunch of trees crushing and setting them alight.

Swimming Bird
"Keep in mind that our team comes first, always." Jacob stood up from his seat and pointed to two other troops. "Mirez, Teichmiller, you two are with me. Move out in ten." Both soldiers complied and started to prep for the small trip. "We're going to scout ahead and see if we can't find what killed his team. If any Blues find you just contact us over the comm, and Johns, for God sake's, no more Custom cds"

Jedireaper
The medic nodded and went to gather the rest of the medical supplies. Mistara woke with a massive headache but shook it off, standing. He then collected his assualt rifle from where it lay on the dropships flooring. Jon turned to Jacob. He shook his head again to clear the dizziness then addressed Jacob. "Whats the plan sir, and what happened to him?" Jon quiried refering to the wounded and dying trooper.

***

Riker dived away from the dropship as it was hit by a morter shell. The ship exploded flyng upwards then falling back down in streaks of flames. The smoke and blown dust began to fog up the valley as the second assualt wave was shot down dropship after dropship. A shadow came over him......

Kit was shaking, ~this isn't right~ he thought desperately trying to grasp that his life and the lives of the few friends he had made in the blue army were in danger. his orders were to go check the mountain for enemies that may have made it out of the destroyed dropships. he couldn't imagine killing anyone. ~i cant believe they assigned me to sniper~ he thought desperately ~my aim with a gun is horrible~ when the two snipers reached the bottom of the ladder they turned a corner and headed for the exit.
"are you nervous?" the soldier with him said as they ran towards the door. "nervous isn't a very strong word" kit muttered back. but suddenly an explosion blew the doors toward him as a helicopter smashed into the base of the building. kit and the other was blown back several feet. the guards and soldiers at the door lie dead in front of them. kit leaned up and looked over and his partners head had been severed by the door. he was the only one left alive in the area.

Swimming Bird
"Mistara, we are moving in to see just what killed his team. There are most likely Blue snipers up in the mountains so stick close to the wall and do not make yourself a target. In fact, since you are so eager to know what we are planning, you get to be a part of it. Form up behind me and the others." Jacob turned around to look at the injured soldier. He knew that his wounds weren't caused by a human but the chance that a predator was on the planet would cause too much of a morale drop and the Red army could not take another.

Jack Diavolo
kit walked over to each body checking to see if any of them were alive. but none of them were. he radioed upstairs "sarge there was an explosion, everyone down here is dea..." but he couldn't finish, the thought of death crushed him. and he began to grieve for them. "I'm the only one left down here" all that came back through the radio was static. he checked for his gun but he couldn't find it in the rubble. the door was blocked by the crash, the latter was blocked by the debris. he was trapped.

Swimming Bird
Briggs coughed up a small amount of blood before he regained his composure. He blinked a few times before he located his weapon and tried to find any survivors. "This is Briggs, does anyone read me?" Briggs waited for a reply while searching through the wreckage. His attempts to find and exit only ended with the shattered view window.

Jack Diavolo
kit searched desperately for a way out. there were corpses everywhere. he scanned desperately before he finally found something. behind a dead body was a 2 foot tall 3 foot wide opening with a grate for ventilation. he walked over and gently and carefully laid the body aside. he took out his bowie knife and used it to take out the first screw. while he was unscrewing the second one a voice sounded over his radio "This is Briggs, does anyone read me?" he dropped the knife in shock and fumbled for the radio. "captain i read you, I'm private kit wilder I'm trapped on the lower floor"

Swimming Bird
"Damn good to hear from a survivor. Kit, I have good news and bad news. Good news is that central will be sending a pick up team for us. Bad news, we are going to have to make our way up through the mountains to find an old Op base. Even worse.. it's currently under Red control." Briggs did what he could and fastened a rope to allow him to fast rope down.

Jack Diavolo
kit swallowed hard, ~why does the bad news always outweigh the good?~ "copy, i found a ventilation shaft it should lead to the east side of the building, should we rendezvous there?" kit started unscrewing the remaining screws while waiting for a reply

Swimming Bird
"Sound good. I am descending from the Norther side of the building. Rendezvous in fifteen." Briggs fianlly reached the ground and was surprised to see Red corpses. It looked as if something had torn them to pieces. "Do any other Blues read me?"

Jack Diavolo
~fifteen minutes~ kit thought confirming the command in his head. he finished the last screw and removed the grate. he got on the ground and commando crawled through the opening just barely fitting. it was tight and claustrophobic and hard to move. but he could see a light at the end and was determined to get through

Swimming Bird
Briggs made his way to what he knew as the east side of the bas eand waited to Wilder to show up. He went onto one knee in a defensive stance and watched the outer rim of the area. "Nothing moving."

Jack Diavolo
kit finally struggled through the last of the vent and emerged on the other side. the air tasted good to him. he looked to his right and saw the sarge sitting prepared for action. "sarge" he said aiming to get the mans attention

Swimming Bird
Briggs made his way over to Kit and searched the perimeter. "Nothing.. Come on, let's move up into the mountains and find that base. It's our only shot of getting out of here short of walking close to one-hundred something miles."

Jedireaper
Mistara fell in behind the seargent. He raised his weapon in a sweep of the surrounding trees and waited to move out.

***

Riker was thrown forward by a crashing helicopter. He rolled to a hault and came up running. Raising his weapon as he ran, he came to the wall, the massive entrance blocked by the crashed copter. He ran along the bases outter perimeter until he came to a blown out section. He edged to the corner. AA fire no-longer heard. Where are all the REDs? He asked himself as he strafed round the corner, assault rifle raised. The sight he was greeted with, both shocked and alarmed Riker.

Swimming Bird
Jacob walked up ahead of the other Reds and kept his weapon ready. "This planet's climate is unpredictable. In the day, it's a desert wasteland. At night it's covered in ice. Get used to it fast because we are not getting off here any time soon." Jacob walked ahead of his three followers and looked back. "Keep up or I will not hesitate to leave you behind."

Jedireaper
Mistara kept steady pace with Jacob sweeping his weapon in a constant covering motion. "Wha-" He exclaimed as a person staggered out of the pine cone-like trees. It was a BLUE soldier. One of his arms had been severed and his legs had been badly cut. The BLUE soldier immediatly struggled towards the closest soldier he saw, which was Mistara, who trained his gun sights on the enemy and his finger twitched on the trigger but he hesitated. The mutilated soldier reached out and gripped Mistara's legs in a pleading jesture with his one arm, while blood poured from where the missing limb had been. Mitara lowered his weapon as the BLUE soldier started pleading and warding about some creature. The fear in his eyes caused Mistara to look at the seargent. He caught Jacobs eye.

***

Konal Riker nearly dropped his gun at the sight before him. Hundreds of troops lay bofore him dead. Both BLUE and RED soldiers laid mutilated and in pieces, blood covered the entire courtyard. Riker raised his rifle and huridly moved further into the base reaching a corner and leaning round he spotted two BLUE troopers heading away from a starwell towards the mountains. Keeping faith that they might know (which they shouldnt). He stepped round and slowly approached with his weapon lowered, but, to be safe he raised it again. His footsteps grew louder..

Jack Diavolo
kit walked along keeping pace with the sarge, his pistol in one hand and his knife in the other. ~this is crazy~ he thought ~but exciting~ came a whisper in his mind ~no this is disastrous~. a large snap sound came from ahead. kit instinctively hid behind a tree, ready for the attack ~could the reds really have gotten ahead of us?~ he though the adrenaline making his head pound. more sounds were coming from different directions. this was not good

Swimming Bird
Jaco blet out an annoyed sigh and turned to Mistara. "You can not possibly say you don't know what to do with him. Execute him or I will." Jacob kept moving forwar, and after seeing the Blue soldier he switched his safety off and moved forward. "Teichmiller, scavange for that Blue's weapon. We'll need to ammunition."

Briggs stopped and spun around to see Riker. "Damn good to see more survivors." He motioned for him to join him and Kit. He stopped his advance and took a position on one knee and monitered the area for any movement.

Jedireaper
As Riker approached he saw the younger BLUE soldier duck behind a tree just past the outter wall. When Brigg's turned and spoke relief swept across his face. He sped up his pace and slid up behind the seargent. He may be RED but he was sure these two wouldnt shoot him on sight. Just to be safe though, he thought, I'll raise my hands in non-hostile gesture. He did so.

Jack Diavolo
"sargent" kit whispered "sargent?" kit turned around and say a red approaching the sarge kit raised his pistol and hoped to god that if he needed it his aim wouldnt be as horrible as usual. and he was also hoping that him just holding the gun like he could shoot straight would intimidate the enemy. he noticed his hands were in the air. "sir its an enemy, it could be a trap."

Swimming Bird
"It's ok private. He came from the same way I did so I'm sure he say that horrid sight." Briggs looked at the ground and sighed. "Name and rank, red." He lowered his weapon and stepped forward with his hand held forward in a friendly gesture. Out of his periferal, Briggs could see smoke coming from the mountains. Problem was, the smoke was not too far away.

By now Jacob was already about thirty paces ahead of the rest of the group when he arrived at a large rock, jutting out of the mountainside. Climbing on top of it, he made his way to a higher area and viewed the area through his weapons scope. The first thing that caught his eye was a Red soldier being drug out of sight by some huge creature. "This is Sarge, and I must say that... we're screwed."

Jack Diavolo
kit was still hesitant, holstering his gun but keeping his knife at hand "sir we dont have time, i heard noises up ahead, we should find an alternate route to avoid enemy contact."
it was basic navigation combat, and one of the first rules you learn. dont head straight for danger.
~shoot him~ the whisper said ~kill him before he does the same~
~no~ he thought ~i wont kill, i might have to defend myself, but i wont kill~

Swimming Bird
Jacob sighed and scanned the rest of the area before he saw a sight that chilled him. It was two Blues facing one Red. From what he could tell, one was willing to negotiate but the other was not so trusting. Then he recognized the soldier. "Riker, do you read?"

Jedireaper
Mistara looked into the BLUE troopers eyes. "I'm sorry." He mouthed. He then placed one shot at the soldiers cranium with a resounding bang. The soldier collapsed. He then followed after the leader. The other troopers were shocked. The madic especially, who noticed that there wasnt a wound on the soldiers head as he went to follow the rest. Mistara had fired a blank and in synk, the trooper had fainted from the shock of the shot. The medic smiled at Mistaras slyness and turned the body over to look at his wounds.

***

"Riker, Konal." He started the reply as lowered his left hand to shake, leaving his gun hand up. "Seargent, demoted to, Private. Serial number: 64484, assigned dropship: 17. Ordered to assault western section. Those orders no-longer stand. Uh- sir." He saluted the enemy seargent. He hoped the truth would hold up. "You-" He was cut off as the com in his ear sprang to life, statically. He didnt dare make any sudden movements but noticed out of the corner of his eye, the reflectin of a rifle scope. He nodded slowly to say he heard.

Jack Diavolo
kit heard gunfire, "sir! we have to get goin-" his voice was cut off by the faint sound of the red soldiers comlink. he raised his gun again "sir hes in radio contact i think its a trap"
~~~

vincent wilder had been drafted into the army when his home was taken over by the red army. he had never imagined he would love it so much. his platoon had crash landed, there was some alive, sergeant jacob was still there, as well as the medic and his friend mistara. they were waiting for further orders currently

android217
Eli was ordered to go with the first blue scouting team. They were scaling the mountain.
"Don't we have scouting ships or probes for this kinda job? What are we even doing up here anyways?" Eli complained.
"We're looking for Red Army remains," One of the scouts further ahead answered. "And don't complain.... you'll see plenty of action doing this... Wait... look up there.." The scout whispered. It was a huge dropship crashed into the mountain.

"O.k. You frontline men go out to see what's left, and we'll cover you from long range," He was already setting up position.
Eli sighed. "Yes sir... Right away," Eli waved to the 4 other soldiers. They made their way towards the wreckage.

Swimming Bird
Jacob watched the two Blues commerce with Riker, and waited for anything to happen. He kept his sights close to the Blue seargent at all times and just waited for a moment to pull the trigger. Bakc at the wreckage, two of the surviving Red soldiers noticed Blues approuching fast. "Sarge, we have Blues approuching. What should we do?" Jacob looked down from the scope and tapped his comm. "Alright, move up to our posistion asap." As Jacob was about to retake his aim, he noticed to leapers six feet away from him. They stared with an odd calm.

Briggs looked at the Red then back to his own men and tried to make a decision on what to do next.

Jack Diavolo
vincent was pushing dirt with his foot. he wanted to shoot something. he wanted to shoot someone. he swore the next blue he saw would get it harder than any person hed ever had to blow away.

~~~~

kit moved closer, so that he could use his knife if needed

android217
"From our thermal sights.. We see eight lifeforms... Feel free to open fire when in range," The scout radioed in.

Eli and the other soldiers moved slowly watching for sudden movements. They six hideous creatures advancing on a Red soldier.

"Hold your fire," Eli grinned. "Let them finish him off."

Jedireaper
Dammit. Riker thought. Then slung the com to Briggs. "You use it! Its-" He stopped when the body of a RED soldier flew through the air from the trees from, what he thought was a shadow became a moving nightmare. "Contact!" He shouted as he brought his gun down and fired several shots. They impacted against trees and the ground as the creature disappeared within the shadows of the trees. "What the hell was that?" He asked the creature oblivous seargent. He suddenly lowered his weapon.

***

Mistara stepped up behind Jacob to the survey the scene. He saw what Jacob saw. "I agree. We're screwed." Mistara was the only soldier who was close to a promotion and was the unanimous next in the chain of command. "What do we do sir?"

Jedireaper
After the medic of course.

Swimming Bird
"We try and survive..." Jacob sat motionless staring back at the creatures. They seemed to be studying him as he did the same. One of the creatures came closer and kind of nudged his survival pack. He chuckled and put his hand on the pack and the creature jumped back. It was then that Jacob noticed a large scar on it's head. "Hmm.." He removed a small can of meat and laid it before the creaure. It took the can and literally destroyed it for the food. "Damn." The five other started to growl and move in towards Jacob. He raised his weapon and fired on them and the one that had the scar fled into the treeline. The group at the dropship could see the outline of blue soldiers and decided to try and draw their attention away from the scouting group.

Briggs brought up his weapon and started to look towards the mountain side where he had just heard gun fire.

Jack Diavolo
vincent was completely oblivious to the creature problem still playing in the dirt with his foot. "sarge can we do something now my trigger fingers bored." after he got no response he said "sergeant jacob?" gunfire blood rushed through him hot he turned and saw the creatures

~~~~

kit laufhed mentally "thats a rather old trick...." a corpse landed beside him. his eyes flew open in shock "sir!"

Jedireaper
Riker lept into action. His assault rifle blazing as he fired into the treeline. Shadows began to shriek and shift about, the creatures had been watching, testing, they were intelligent. Damn! He thought. "You, blue boy, I could used your fire support." He said to the untrusting one.

***

Mistara awaited for orders the quiried his com. "Vincent. Got blue headed your way. Get to us NOW!!" He said into it to his long time friend.

Swimming Bird
"This is Sergeant Book! Me and my team need immediate evac now! We are taking heavy hits from unidentified hostiles and are running low on ammunition and soldiers!" Jacob raised his gun to fire at approuching leapers. "Sorry Sergeant, but we have to deal with these things too. You'll have to find the Ops base up in th-" Jacob jerked back as a leaper his him from behind.

Jack Diavolo
kit put aside his difference and started unloading rounds randomly into the trees "this is useless" he said to the red guy "i cant aim well" he fired still round after round

~~~~

vincent answered his com
"i can take them" he said confidently "which direction are they coming from?" he set up his sniper rifle from a perfect vantage point that could sheild him and alow him to fire simultaneously

android217
"O.k..... Open fire!" Eli shouted firing while ducking behind cover. "Snipers take out as many as you can see!" He radioed in. Eli waved toward one of the skinny blue soldiers. He started to run over to Eli, but was shot in the head.

"Watch friendly fire support!" Eli shouted, raising his rifle and firing burst rounds.

Jack Diavolo
vincent aimed carefully and blasted one of the blues in the head from behind his barrier "10 points mistara thats a headshot" he gloated looking for another soldier to clock

Swimming Bird
Jacob looked over at the attacking Blues, and the advancing creatures. "This is not going to end well.." Jacob started to fire in both directions as the shot became available

Jedireaper
Mistara joined in. Firing in both directions. He spoke into his com. "Great Vinny! Now get the hell outta there, we got bigger problems than the blues!" He rapidly switched frequencies to the com Briggs had caught. "Riker, come in? We need your blue buddies to call of their scout team. We need to work together to overcome the new problem that has developed." He said as a leaper jumped at him. "Ahg-" He placed three shots through its head. "Do you read Riker?" He said when he regained control of his situation. He was suprised when Briggs replied.

Jack Diavolo
vincent looked over to mistaras position "what the hell are those!" he yelled pulling his sniper out and quickly capping off a leaper sneaking up on mistara. "jesus what the hell is going on"

Jedireaper
"Thats what we're trying to figure." Mistara continued to fire at leapers.

***

(Waiting for SB)

Riker continued firing randomly into the trees until a leaper knocked him over from behind. "Hellllp!!!!-"

Swimming Bird
Jacob forced the creature off of his back and slammed the but of his assault rifle into it's skull, successfully killing it. As the creature fell dead, he turned around to see the condition of his team. They were in a bit of a hectic situation, so he decided to make his way to their current position. "We need to move farther into the mountains and we have to find the Ops base."

The big EH
okay i'm really tired right know, how can i jump back in?

Jedireaper
Mistara nodded. "Yes, sir." A leaper lept at Mistaras back. He spun and fired at the creature, killing it. The carcuss flew through the air and collided with Mistara, knocking his weapon wide and pinning him under the creature. "Ahh! Little help?" He exclaimed, trying to move the body of the leaper off him but didnt have a good position to lift from. "J-Jacob!!" He called for help.

***

Riker heard screaming and as the leaper jumped on him he rolled forward, bringing his rifle up and shot the ceature in the head. The creatures body slid to the ground. He then heard his com go off. "Hey blue searg' answer that com would you!" He said as he got his first look at the leaper.

Swimming Bird

((Fly in as a search and rescue team?))


Jacob tried to assisst who he could but it was too much to concentrate on. A look of anger crossed his face and he removed his helmet ro reveal that his head was shaved. "Alright, listen up! If any of you want to survive then follow me! If you don't keep up, you WILL be left behind and I'm not going to be coming back for any of you!" Jacob lept down from the rock that he was on and picked up his weapon. Without even looking back at the rest of the troops he started to march up towards where the Ops base was supposedly located.

Briggs just watched as the Red leader was so willing to leave his men behind and he swore under his breath. "I won't leave an ysurvivorts behind if I can help it."

Jack Diavolo
vincent looked in shock as his commanding officer just left one of his best friends lie stuck under a corpse "mistara! im coming" he said into his com sunning fast and rampant towards their position stopping once in a wile to clear his path of a few leapers. he made it ther and with his help the got the body off of him. "how many clips you have left?"

~~~

kit tossed his gun and his clips to the red with him, "take those ill hendle them close combat" he sprinted into the woods. a leaper jumped at him from the side, he ducked under it and raised his knife gashing the creatures leg. he continued into the woods

Jedireaper
Mistara nodded thanks to Vincent as the medic arrived on his heels. "I'm fine." He said. "Only about six. Its enough though." He got Vinny to haul him up and then, with the medic in tow they started after the lone, seargent. "He's out of his mind. Hows the wounded blue?" He asked the medic.

"He'll live. I moved him into the dropship interior. Im sure the other blues will find him.

***

Riker grabbed the air-bourne gun and wached him go.

Jack Diavolo
kit was running dodging diving, and pucking slicing and kicking as often as possible trying to lead as many of them away from the sarge's position as possible. after winding a particularly persistant leaper he looked up and thats when he saw the reds.

~~~

vincent was the first one to sight the fast approaching blue "blue coming fast!" he yelled and turned around and aimed with care towards the enemy. a leaper jumped and knocked off his aim just as he shot and the bullet just missed grazing the blues cheek.

android217
Eli ducked as the reds returned fire. As he popped back up a bullet barely missed his cheek. Most of his team was injured or dead.

"Fall back!" He yelled. Eli turned and ran off, leaving all of his remaining team behind. Eli had reached the snipers position.
"What the hell are you doing!?" The sniper punched Eli in the face.
"You go out their and fight em!" Eli pushed the sniper to the ground.

"We had no chance with a bunch of privates out there!" He continued before heading back to base.

Jack Diavolo
kits face burned with the cut left by the grazing bullet, he dove for cover behind some trees. reds in front of him, monsters in back. this just wasnt his day

Jedireaper
Mistara knocked Vincents gun down. "Hold your fire!" He called recognising the blue soldier he had seen with Riker. Then he saw the other three blue soldiers as they and their sniper returned fire from Vinny's shot. Dammit. "Get down." He grabbed both Vincent and the medic as bullets flew through the air towards them. He forced them both down. "We are friendly," He called over to the blue scouts. "HOLD YOUR FIRE!!"

***

Riker burst forward, although with more caution. He arrived on blue's heels. He saw the scout team on the ridge. "CALL!! THEM!! OFF!!" He shouted at Briggs.

Swimming Bird
Jacob knew that some of his troops were trying there hardest to keep up but he couldn't just stop. The risks were too high and his men needed to knwo that he meant business.

Briggs just looked over at Riker. "They're not under my jurasdiction!" Briggs tried to catch a signal of the blue scout team. "U.S.M.O. Scout team. This is Team Nova. We need you to cease fire on the Reds at least long enough for us to figure out what those things are."

android217
"Hold your fire team... We got more important people here tellin us to stop," Eli said into his radio. The remaining soldiers fell back to Eli.

"What the hell are you doing?" The sniper asked. "Your not the boss of these soldiers.. your a private ..." Eli sighed but kept his mouth shut.
Eli reloaded his rifle and sat down on a rock.

Jedireaper
Mistara stood up as everything went quiet. Even the creatures stopped silent. He walked over to Riker and Kit. Reaching over, he hauled Kit up from the ground, blue or not. "You ok kid." He then turned to Riker and nodded, then to Briggs. "I'm private Mistara. Our seargent has gone 'Riddick' on us (sorry) and gone ahead, alone." He nodded to the blue seargent. Then faced the group of scouts on the ridge. "You blue's get down here!" He called to Eli. ((I seem to be calling the shots, sorry for leaving Jacob but i'm more confident in Briggs saving our asses.))

Jack Diavolo
kit got up not paying attention to what the red was saying. he was staring at the sniper who was not paying attention to the situation at all. ~vincent?~ he thought, he quickly put on his helmet and pulled down his visor so he couldnt be recognized

vincent looked at mistara a little angry for making him miss his shot. vincent didnt like to miss. but the situation called for him to hold his temper for now. atleast. he casually sniped a faraway leaper in frustration

android217
Eli looked up for a moment and stood up. He waved for his blues to follow him. After reaching Mistara he sneezed.
"Yeah what cha want man," Eli asked looking back at his soldiers, then pulled down his visor.

Jedireaper
The sound of the shot agrivated several nearby leapers but once silence resumed the leapers went back to watching, almost studying. "Wierd-" Riker said. "They're studying us."

Mistara nodded. "They seem almost docile now." He waved to Mirez who was approaching and dragging a wounded red. He motioned for the medic to go off and help. He did so.

Swimming Bird
Jacob was just walking when he realized that only one Red soldier was not following him. "Teichmiller, good to see someone had the brains to survive." Teichmiller nodded and caught up right behind him. Jacob leaned up against a rock and set down a portable radio. "This is Sergeant Book brodcasting on all open frequencies. Most of my platoon is either dead or missing in action. All contact with Red HQ has ceased and all attempts to reestablish have failed." Jacob got back onto his feet and began to search for the opps base.

Briggs looked over the small force that seemed to be getting along more now that the creatures prooved a greater threat then the rest. "Alright, first off we'll need to see if we can convince those other two Reds to join us. Not to mention we may need your Sergeant to get into the Red Ops base, located somewhere out here."

((I actually needed for him to be alone for a bit and yes I must say, Briggs is the more qualified to save you.))

Jedireaper
(I realised that, and, yup!)

Swimming Bird
Just as Jacob got completely out of sight from the other soldiers he came face to face with a 'Hell-Hound.' "Hey, how you doin'?" The creture let out a monstrous roar and tried to use it's frony paw to swat him onto his back. It missed him just by an inch and this made Jacob laugh. The creature stood on it's hind legs much like a bear. Jacob took his chance and slid his knife across the creatures stomach. The creature shrieked in pain right before Jacob slammed his foot into the creaures chest, spilling it's guts. "Didn't know who he was ****in' with." Two more Hell-Hounds came from the under brush which caused Jacob and Teichmiller to haul ass back towards the others. Instead of looking like a needy moment, they both just took off past them only uttering one word. "Run."

Jedireaper
Riker and Mistara watched in mild horror as Misara's seargent; Jacob and his follower, burst through the trees uttering one word: "Run." Mistara immediatly disobayed by raising his weapon and began firing at the massive 'Hell-Hounds' That rounded the trees. The medic joined Mistara in firing by taking the wounded and dying soldiers weapon and, with Mirez in tow, slid into a covering position behind a fallen log. Riker joined Mistara by the rocky firing position and fired at the creatures, soon more soldiers, both blue and red, joined in the firing. Under such a heavy onslaught the leading 'Hell-Hound' fell, the other jumped over the dead Hound and continued in a rage. Mistara turned to the others who wernt firing. "You wanna live? Then open fire!" He then opened his com. "Jacob. You have weapons dont you? Tur-" More Hell-Hounds appeared it seemed this was what the Leapers had been waiting for.

"Wierd." Riker commented.

Swimming Bird
"They only die if they are mortally wounded and the more you kill the more show up! The smartest thing to do is give them the slip!" Jacob rounded a corner and jumped over a charging leaper that grappled onto Teichmiller. "Live or die Teichmiller?" Teichmiller was afraid. "I want to live!" Jacob laughed. "Then man up." Jacob continued on his path. Teichmiller became so angry that he forced the creature off of him and snapped it's neck. "Book! What the hell are you doing leaving me back there?" Jacob kept running. "I believe I was leaving you back there!"

Briggs was about to open fire but heard the last comment and started to follow along the path Jacob was on but provided cover-fire for the other soldiers.

android217
Eli did not hesitate to run. After he started he looked back to see the rest of the soldiers fighting. But quickly after continued to run to a safe distance.

"All blue scouts fall back!" Eli screamed into his comm. "Get to a safe distance and use your grenades!"

The blue scouts did as they were ordered.

Jack Diavolo
vincent loved to kill. but he loved living more, he turned and started running in the direction jacob did. turning around to pop off a couple rounds every once in awhile.

kit decided a different approach, he ran at the hounds. as fast as possible, and with them running at him at high speed it was easy to dodge and slip past them. but as he did the one on his left gashed his arm. kit let out a welp but didnt let te pain stop his charge

Jedireaper
The first Hell-Hound struggled up then collapsed on its side. The other came at the soldiers. Mistara issued the one and only oreder worth giving: "Fall back!" He continued to fire but had gotten up and was running backwards. Others bagan to join him. Some stupid soldier stayed and were killed.

Swimming Bird
Jacob turned around just as he arrived at the Dropship. Teichmiller was close behind and witnessed Jacob staringt a Blue soldier down that had a lot of damage to him. "Don't do it man!" Jacob just laughed and continued to point his gun in the man's face. The blue was holding an assault rifle about chest high. "Pl.. please hel.. help me." Jacob pulled the hammer back and Teichmiller started to get impatient. "What do you care? He's a Blue Teichmiller, plus no one will even know." The man twitched and dropped his rifle and quickly picked it back up. "S... say goodnight." Jacob fired first and watched as the Blue fell to his knees holding his chest. "Don't **** with me." Jacob put the pistol to the man's forehead and pulled the trigger.

Jedireaper
Mistara heard the single shot from behind him as he ran backwards. The shot was more distinct than his own assault rifle as he covered the retreat from the front. He glanced at the medic. "You dont think-"

"I do." The medic replied

"Shit!" He glanced at Vincent. "Vinny cover the retreat!" He called before spinning on his heals and, medic in tow, made for the crashed dropship.

***

Riker trusting Briggs stayed by the blue seargents side.

Swimming Bird
Jacob turned around to face two leapers. HE knew he could take them easily but his heart sank when three Hell-Hounds approuched behind them. "Teichmiller, start the dropship thrusters." Jacob opened fire on them to slow them down as Teichmiller worked the controls. "Five seconds!" The engines glowed a firery red and shot out all they had. The creatures were mostly incenerated save a few smoldering corpses. "Ha ha ha! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!" Jacob made his way out of the ship to see if anything else was there.


Briggs stood at a small rocky outcrop and ordered those following to hold there, to see if they could last at least till night.

Jedireaper
Mistara arrived at the dropship to hear and see its thrusters fire-off, when Mistara saw Jacob, he approached. He glanced at the executed blue. "YOU BASTARD!" In rebuttle he swung his rifle's butt at Jacob's torso.

***

Riker took refuge behind a rock and turned to Kit. "You ok bud?" He asked.

Swimming Bird
Jacob was struck in the stomach and that made him stumble back. "Are you loosing it soldier!?" He raised his sidearm up and aimed it at Mistara. Teichmiller raised his weapon and aimed it back and forth between the two. "Mistara, he was a U.S.M.O. we are Confed. personell. What I did back there was our job."

Jedireaper
The medic arrived and looked in horror raising his weapon and pointing it between Teichmiller and Jacob.

"Hars, stand down." Mistara said to the medic, calling him by name. "Seargent." He addressed Jacob. "We are not murdurers, what you did was execution. He wasnt a threat to you." Mistara raised his weapon to the seargent. "Sir. I am sorry but I'm arresting you for executing a surrendered soldier. Stand down sergent or I 'will' execute you for war crimes. ((Dont worry he wont))

***

Riker started to get worried. "Seargent Briggs, I think you should check on Mistara and Jacob. They've been gone too long for just a whip-round."

Jack Diavolo
vincent was ordered to cover fire, but he didnt have a normal rifle. just his snipe. this would not turn out good. he pulled out a grenade and tossed it at the hounds and took cover.

kit was running in the opposite direction as everyone completely. suddenly the ground dissapeared as he crashed through a hole. he was busted and somewhere underground. he took out his hunting knife. ~where am i~ he thought the only light came from the hole he fell through. this sucked

Swimming Bird
Jacob just laughed and walked past Mistara. "To believe I actually started to respect you." For a one last piss-off, he turned around and fired another round into the already dead Blue. He let out a deep laugh and kept walking. "Teichmiller, grab the supplies, you're with me. Unless you want to be counted as KIA like the rest of us if we don't move." Jacob finally let off a hint that he knew exactly where the Red Ops base was, just that he was leading everyone on.

Jedireaper
Mistara lowered his weapon in defeat. "I should have joined 137th squad. At lest I'd have a nice boring desk job." Mistara pointed his rifle to his head. He was about to pull the trigger. He smiled.

The medic now passed his aim over everyone present. Unsure who to trust he pointed his gun at Teichmiller. "Move and your dead." He glanced at Jacob then Mistara pleadingly going wide eyed.

Jack Diavolo
kit turned on his armor light, he was in something like a tunnel he raised his visor to see better in the dark. this was so weird. he took out his knife, he feared that he may actually have to end life this time, he could hear the sounds of feet in the tunnels,. the whisper in his mind smiled.

vincent kept sooting keeping up cover fire. but he was running out of bullets "guys this would be a good time to find a way of getting out of here!" he called to mistara. ~three clips left~ he thought ~were ****ed~

Swimming Bird
Jacob just watched the others and the ever approuching legion of creatures. He was about to shrug off what Mistara was about to do until he recieved a message. "Sergeant Book? Is that you? This is the 47Th, We're about two clicks behind you." Jacob was surprised and then a look of promise came over his face. "Hold tight 47, we're coming to your position now." A slight blur was in Jacob's visor by the time he realized what it was. "Confederation Sergeant Book, Jacob E. Team-leader of the 38TH Battalion. Unit-number 18854-R." A small light flashed twice and a cloaking device went down to reveal a Red Spec. Ops soldier.

Briggs made his way up to the situation and stated. "We don't really have time for this!"

Jedireaper
Mistara pulled the trigger. The weapon clicked empty. His smile grew even more so as the sergent ignored him. "You knew I had no bullets." He turned and called. "TAKE COVER WITH BRIGGS!! Save your ammo!" He shouted then called. The medic was shocked. As was Teichmiller. But Jacob....

Swimming Bird
Jacob just laughed again. "I knew I should have requested an experienced team. I mean you all act like this is your first encounter with an execution." He then turned to the Ops soldier and spoke. "we have an assorted number of troops and a handful of enemy units." The Ops laughed. "Another unit give you the whole, 'you shouldn't kill a surrendering Blue speach?" He nodded before lifting his visor. "Yep, looks like they don't want to follow my orders anymore." The Ops surveyed the situation and then turned back. "At least you didn't shoot the poor kid like last time. You know I only barely got those charges dropped. I mean seriously, the rope was around your neck." Jacob turned around. "Bah, nothing can kill me. Well that's beside the point, we need to get to Ops base." The soldier looked up at the sky and shook his head. "Not safe moving at night. Smartest decision you have is to move all your forces to this ship and keep these lights on. Angels will be out tonight." Jacob didn't ask question and turned to the troops. "Round up everyone to the dropship. I'll be working on getting these light operational.

Briggs didn't know what he was going to do. The situation was going down the drain and fast. "Alright, we'll hole up here for the night but we are not following you to that base, not after what you did to that wounded soldier." Briggs clicked his comm. "This is Sergeant Briggs, all forces that are under my command move to the downed Red dropship."

Jack Diavolo
kit heard the command, but unfortunately it came at a really bad time. the noise caught the attention of the leapers down in the tunnels. they spotted kits light and begain to move towards him at fast speeds. kit turned and ran "sarge i fell into a hole im in some sort of tunnel. these things are advancing on me." ha leaper jumped out from a side tunnel and took a chunk out of his already wounded arm. he stabbed it in the shoulder and it released him. he ran on

vincent took cover inside the ship.

Swimming Bird
Briggs put his head into his hands and tried to think. "Two hours of daylight left, and Kit is down in a hole. Well I'm in the dark in two out of three scenarios so might as well." He clicked his Comm. "Kit, I'll do what I can to get you, but there is no guarantee I am even in the right place.." He let out a sigh and was startled when Jacob's hand was on his shoulder. "Going alone is suicide, you at least need me. I can see in the dark far better then these suits will." Briggs didn't even speak but he stood up and saluted. "Don't get mushy on me. Once we are back at our bases, we are enemies again." Briggs laughed. "Sounds fair enough."

Jedireaper
Mistara rallied any troops, blue or red up to the dropships except for a few that didnt trust him. After making sure that a fight wouldn't break out between the troops, he scavenged out some ammo, loaded his rifle then made his way to the hole. Eager to redeem himself in Jacobs eyes he opened up his com. "What are we doing about Kit, uh, sir's?" Mistara had set his com to an open frequency to keep in touch with both blue seargent, Briggs and, Seargent, Jacob.

The medic tended to some of the injured, while Riker, using some of his engineering skills worked on the dropships power circuts.

Mistara looked up, the sun was begining to set and a new chill, swept through his body. He shivered. His breath came out in vapor's, it wasnt even freezing yet according to his suit regulaters.

Jack Diavolo
the tunnels were dark and deceiving shadows everywhere. he had to find a way out. shadows played tricks on his mind. leapers were chasing him and he was running out of breath

~you need me~ the whisper said "no!" kit screamed out loud an adrenaline rush crushing through his body pushing him further on.
a leaper jumped down from the top and landed on him. kit knew enough to keep it restrained but its teeth were getting dangerously close.
~kill it~ the whisper said
"no" kit said struggling.
~end it or it will end you~
"its....wrong!"
~KILL IT!!!~ the voice boomed and kit with a sudden angry strength pushed the creature off him and with a quick jab slit the beasts throat. an evil smile played across his lips "new youd see it my way" his voice was cold and hollow. the voice of a killer.
(his comm is still on and all of it went through)

vincent sat in the dropship bored. "anyone got any cards?"

Swimming Bird
A smile slid across his face and he looked towards where the hole was. "Now, that's my kind of soldier." Without even waiting for the others, he made a dash for the hole and instead of lowering into it, he just lept down, right onto the head of a leaper. Instead of turning his light on, he just raised up his visor and peared through the darkness. "Found ya." JAcob started to make his way to the running Kit.

Jedireaper
A blue soldier took out a pack and tossed them to Vincent. "Knock your self out, kid."

Riker joined Vinny. "How you holding up?"

Jedireaper
Mistara shone his CLE down into the hole. He jumped down after Jacob, landing on the fresh kill. He stepped of and moved after the rapidly receding Jacob. "Briggs. I'll try and keep you updated. Go back to the dropship." He made it an order. "It'll be dark soon." Mistara didnt care if the seargent didnt obey the privates logical order. He needed to get to Jacob.

Jack Diavolo
the boy kept moving down the tunnels using his skill with a knife to cut open anything coming at him. every time he killed with particularly large amount of blood he giggled wildly. but i guess everyfun day comes to an end. he tripped on a rock and fell hard. it was lucky though because right in front of him was a pit, deep and dark and sounds came menacingly from it. a sticky substance encircled the hole and most likely covered its walls. he stood back up and eased his way back from the hole. a leaper jumped at him from a side tunnel, unfortunately for the leaper it came at his knife arm. the knife slid easily into the creatures scull. the force made his arm buckle and pain slightly. but he shrugged it off

vincent caught the cards, opened them and started playing solitaire. "riker! didnt even notice ya, thought you were dead. some crazy sh*t huh?"

Swimming Bird
Jacob was moving until a slight glow approuched him. He moved with it, almost as if they were the same being. The creature came close enough for him to see and it seemed like a human with wings. "Let.. us.. help.. you." Jacob let out a deep laugh and pulled out a combat shotgun. "Not as accurate of as many bullets, but it'll do nicely for you." The creature let out an earsplitting scream that brought Jacob to his knees. "****!" He raised the shotgun and took off the creature's arm which made it scream louder. "Would you shut the **** up!?" He fired again which blew it's head off.

Jedireaper
Mistara rounded the corner and nearly tripped over Jacob. He dived right to avoid the tripping. Seeing the 'Angel' he yelped as its glowing head exploded. "Damn close call Seargent." He stood up. Deactivated his CLE and pulled his visor down.

Swimming Bird
Jacob looked slightly annoyed. "I want you to remember to never point a gun at me again!" More lights seemed to follow.

Jedireaper
Mistara nodded. "More coming, lets get Kit. We gotta' get outta' tha' cave before nightfall." He raised his rifle. An angel floated round a corner. "Huh? Dammit!" He fired a few shots. The creature reached out for him.

"There is a better place for you, child." It voiced.

"Like hell there is. Go 'to' hell!" He fired another bust at the 'Angel' tearing of a wing. The creatures expression changed from serene to anger as it warped.

Swimming Bird
"Keep that light on me but off my eyes. They hate the light." Jacob started to run forward and firing with any possible shot that he could. "I know we have our differences, but you are one of my unit. I made a promise to get everyone out alive that I could and I am keeping it." He fired on an approuching angel and yelled. "Kit, c'mon this way!"

Jack Diavolo
the boy heard the voices , and headed in that direction. he came up and saw jacob and mistara. "the sinister smile played across his lips again, the grip on his knife tightened

Jedireaper
Mistara blew an angel directly behind Kit with a precise head shot. "C'mon blue lets go!" He shouted.

Swimming Bird
"We've got to get out of here. More of those things are coming and once there are too many to handle, we're all gunna die." Jacob pumped his shotgun and looked forward at a small gleam of light at the end of a long path. "A way out."

Jack Diavolo
the boy jumped and ripped through an angel and followed the two soldiers down the tunnel.

Jedireaper
((night zzzzzz))

Swimming Bird
Jacob grabbed Mistara and ran faster then earlier before. Before he knew it they were both outside and almost in an instant he was turned around, providing cover for Kit. "You just keep runnin' and I'll keep gunnin'!"

Jedireaper
Mistara joined, shooting angels whenever he saw them. He paused to run and change clips. He took this opertunity to also inform Briggs of the situation by com.

***

Riker heard the shots and stood along with other soldiers. He grew anxious, picking his pistol up.

Jack Diavolo
the boy ran through the tunnel, but not with desperation to get out he saw what he wanted. human flash, the feeling of tearing skin the glory of warm human blood. he was bent to kill the two he was with. and he was charging full speed the sinister smile on his face growing

Swimming Bird
Jacob's voice sounded in his head. "Awh Hell. I've seen that look before. Kid finally realized our actual chances of getting out of here." He watched as he charged him and look over at Mistara. "You deal with him. I've got something I have to do." Jacob grappled onto a rock and jumped onto the top of the mouth of the cave.

Jedireaper
Mistara turned, eying the kid, seeing his intent, and with one quick, smooth, fluid motion brought the butt of his rifle under the kids chin with such force that he knocked Kit out cold flipping his body over. Mistara then dragged Kit upwards. He hauled the unconscious body up to Jacob.

Swimming Bird
"Glad to see that you are catching on plan wise. You learn to read my moves like that more often then you'll be my second in command." Jacob laughed for the first time in a real way. He heaved Kit, onto his shoulder, and in the fading light, made his way back to the dropship.

Jedireaper
Mistara climbed out, pulled up the rope in the fading light and followed his seargent.

Swimming Bird
Jacob made his way all the way back to the dropship and set Kit down. "Ok I'm done watching him. Y'all's turn." Jacob picked up an assault rifle and strapped his shotgun to his back. He started to walk towards the lowering sun. "Don't follow me. This is probably going to get me killed, but I am going to set up a beacon to have you guys picked up." Jacob turned around once more and marched out into the now falling snow.

Jedireaper
Mistara collected some ammo and followed irreguardless. The sun had now disappeared and the screeaching started. He caught up with Jacob.

Swimming Bird
Jacob laughed a fake laugh and kept walking. "Once we get this set up, there will be a less then ten percent chance that we will even come back."

-Far out in space on a cruiser on the orbit of 'Haven'-

"Is Sergeant Book down there?" A commander asked a pilot. "Yes sir." He nodded slowly, thinking deeply. "Send out a team for him." The pilot looked back. "Don't you mean a team for all of our troops?" The Commander looked back at him and sighed. "We don't need to evacuate an entire military installation because we lost contact. They're whole planet is a climatery hell-zone." The pilot nodded and typed in the order to the computer. A dropship flew out of the ship and entered the atmosphere. Due to a malfunction, a skiv (light jeep like vehicle) broke loose and feel down to the the surface. The box it was being carried in was the only thing that saved it.

Jedireaper
Mistara shivered as the climate rapidly decended into a frozen nightmare. He changed his suits regulater from cool to warm air pressure. It had little effect. The suit was frozen and useless. "Seargent!" He called as, from behind them the sound of the screaming became more prominent.

True Geek
Kyle Smith, a red, got his gear prepared to get going. He was pretty sure he'd be assigned to go on the obviously cold planet.

Swimming Bird
Jacob stopped when he saw something laying on the rocky area infront of him. Allowing Mistara to catch up with him, he crouched and zoomed in with his scope. "Looks like a Sciv, it's still opperable but is it a trap?"

Jedireaper
Mistara used his scope. "Unknown sir. But there is only one way find out."

Swimming Bird
Jacob surveyed the situation for a moment before speaking. "**** it." He jumped up and ran for the jeep and got to the driver's side. It was relatively undamaged and still unused. Opening the door, he found that the keys were where they should be and everything was in order.

Jedireaper
Mistara followed, keeping tabs on the light from the Angels. He reached the jeep and climbed in the passenger side. He didnt say anything, just watched through the thickening silence, the light slowly approaching.

Swimming Bird
Jacob started the jeep and sealed his door. It was going to be a long run back to Red base, the chances of the others making it depended on the will of the Blue Sergeant. "We're not going back. We will make a straight shot for the base. If it gets too much out there, I'll need you to get on that .50."

Jedireaper
Mistara nodded. He understood the situation well enough. Now it was just up to them. He broke the carried over silence. "Dont worry about me manning the 50. I'll do my job, you just drive."((Thanks for finally continuing this. I guess I'm your unofficial RP partner. Since i joined KMC your RP was the first I joined. Enjoyed it, joined any new RPs you proposed lol wink big grin smile big grin wink So thanks for allowing me and teaching the rights and wrongs of RPing.))

david surveyed the landscape
"carlos,report on that sciv?"
"well sir, 2 frendlies just hopped in it"
david thought while he searched for those angels.his squad had baited it with a corpse to draw their attention.if the frendlies looked in the back, they would be in for a nasty surprise.they could probably already smell it.
"alright guys pack it up, were going to help them out allitle"
sniper militaire

Jedireaper
"You smell something?" Mistara asked. If the crash cage surrounding the Sciv were anything to go by, then.. "How did a body get in here?"

Swimming Bird
"New plan, you ditch the body out the back and I haul ass." Jacob started the car and popped the back of the sciv open.

Jedireaper
He shoved the body through and climbed up to the 50. Cal. He checked the ammo. Full.

darkxbox
the two tanks rolled down the hill covered in survivors.they had lost their ammo taking down a pack of "brutes".
"carlos, you smell somethin."
"yeah like a smell like..."
one of the passangers screamed as he was draggedinto the forest.
"carlos,jackson,lets check it out"
the three moved towards the spot where it had happened,and just as they were about to enter the forest,someone yelled"runners!"
the sound of assault rifles filled the air as a large pack of the creatures seemingly came out of nowhere from the forest.
"tanks, run em' over" yelled david as they continued firing.
an angel popped out of the treetops, but was quickly killed by the three snipers.its head exploded.

"casualty report"

((this is where you describe hearing a large battle in the distancemafia2))

Jedireaper
(Ok)

Swimming Bird
((Brutes don't travel in packs, they hunt with only one or two others. They are extremely competitive so sometime you can trick them into fighting each other. And the reason Jacob is avoiding you is because he knows alot more than any other soldier on the planet so he knows what is going to happen))

"Avoid larger groups of soldiers. Once those tanks run out of gas, the brutes will tear them to pieces." Jacob just realized what a crucial mistake he had just made. He revealed that he knew about what was going on. He kept quiet and hoped Mistara hadn't heard him. "We're going to fly straight past that large group of soldiers, and try to get the Hell-Hounds off our backs."

A new creature approuched from the outer are of the woods from behind the tanks. It seemed like it hunted using sound, and was at the least near 4 feet tall. Hundreds started to emerge into the darkness, followed along by many angels. Even a few Brutes approuched and many runns and Hell-Hounds appeared. It was the soldier's worst fear, organization of the enemy.

darkxbox
((oh ok, sorry embarrasment however as you said in your previous post they are organizing))
"holy ****, everyone, off the tanks,now.follow me."
they ran towards the sciv hoping to get to the secret group of scivs that they had hidden nearby.
"carlos, jackson, your with me"
david and his squad watched in horror as the new beasts tore down the other survivors one at a time. they got in another sciv and started it up.
a limb hit the window.
"carlos fire it up"he said as he got on the 50. cal
he watched as the tanks exploded and flew towards them.then, their scivs started moving.

((only two other scivs make it okay, that is other than ours))

Swimming Bird
Jacob clicked the brakes twice to make the lights flash in the signal of follow me. He sped up, heading towards the Red main base.

darkxbox
((jedi reaper wants ya on hazmat))
they followed, hoping to find refuge wherever they were going.the sound of 50. cals filled the air arround them."dont let me down carlos"

((im getting off now))

"This is Sergeant Book. we are coming into Red base and we need those doors open now!"

((doors are already open and no response is given))

darkxbox
((plz post on squrel vs tediz)) yes

darkxbox
the sciv slowly slowed down as it neared the base doors

Swimming Bird
Jacob slowed the sciv to the already open doors, and slid the cars thick frame inside. Something was wrong but he couldn't place what.

Jedireaper
Mistara remained silent.

darkxbox
jackson climbed out and ran towards the command center
"Jackson get back over here!"
"no worries sir i'll be alr-"
a sound beast burst through the door and ripped him in two, then threw him towards the 4 cars . "JACKSOOOOOON!!!"

((Can we call the sound beasts hedgehogs))

Swimming Bird
