Rise to Command

Rise to Command

Fortune's mind started to wander. He thought about the wife and two kids he had left behind on the home planet, before coming up here to help serve in a garrison for the Terran Republic. when the wormhole closed, and all hell broke loose, he had went with the New Conglomerate and helped form their Sanctuary, ready to fight against the people he worked for.

He snapped back into reality and looked at the seven people in front of him.
"Acepyro, i want you to head out to this copse of trees, stay low and stay out of sight. I want to know everything that comes in your direction and how much. Thor, you Pedro and Fire Light each head to these three guns, concentrate on air, leave the ground alone."

He pointed to his crack stealth operator, specializing in medicine and hacking.
"Vapor stay in the control room. Take out any hacker that comes in. I want that hearing implant on all the time. Don, you run back and forth to those three guns and keep em repaired and fresh."

He took a moment to look at the last man in his squad. A man who barely ever talked, but was lethal in every way. He could make shots snipers only dreamed of, and he could hide so well it was as if he was wearing a stealth suit.

"Chill, your on your own, thats how you work best."

He broke away from the snipers piercing gaze.

"Ok everyone you got your assignments, Move out! We should expect the Terrans to hit us with everything they have within a twenty kilo ratius, we need to hold until reinforcements arrive. Thor when they get here you'd better get into your MAX armor or this will be the shortest lived defense of all time."

Pyro and Chill ran out as the others suited up for the defense. The complex they held was massive, with long corridors and four stories, but where Fortune planned to hold the Terrans off the most was at the main entrance of the complex, where a maze-like warren of walls and blockades gave the defenders the perfect place to lay traps and back up. He was counting on Vapor to take out any hackers coming throught the two side doors on either side. A loud crackle on his wrist communicator made him abandon his thoughts.

"Uh, Fortune, just saw two Mosquito's fly by, scoutin the place over."

"They are going to follow up with Reavers, you know that Pyro."

"Yup, just give the turret-boys the heads up, Ace out."

A minute later another voice came on, cold and calculatiing.

"Main force spotted. Three scouts one kilo in advance. Two MAX's, both personel, one buggy and two squads of grunts."
and the comm fell silent.

Fortune had expected a force large, but not like this. And he knew there were at least two other squads going to come in from different sides of the complex. He ran outside to a bunch of rocks that a large, branchy tree covered. He turned to where Chill was and did his vison implant as high as it could go. He saw the dust trails of the three scouts, all on motorcycles.

"Confirmed, Chill. Ok everybody hold tight here they come, hold fire until your sure you can hit--"

But before he could finish his message a loud CRACK ecoed across the grassland, and one dust trail slowed to a halt, and a hunched over shape fell off it.

"Kill confirmed." came Chills cold voice.

A resounding roar came across the map, and four Reavers sped across the sky, firing thousands of bullets into the general area Chill's shot came from. Fortune wasn't worried, though. When Chill shot, he always moved. The repeating boom of the three base defense guns gave way to the prescence of lines of tracers reaching into the sky, following the wake of the reaver group.
By now, Fortune didn;t have to use his implant, he could see the enemy assault group on the very edge of his vision. Another CRACK sounded and the ominous voice of Chill came back on the comm.

"One scout remaining."

The enemy buggy came to a halt and the turret peppered Chill's position with hot lead. A third CRACK, and a thin line streaked out from a hill a hundred yards away from where the gunner was shooting. The turret fire stopped, and the buggy driver sped away before he could be killed like his gunner.

"Kill confirmed"
Was all Chill could say. The torrents of tracers flying into the sky not hitting anything was getting on Fortune's nerves, and he was about to call off the defense gun fire when his sight was rewarded by an explosion in the sky, followed by a massive cloud of flame debris.

"Yessss" Fire Light hissed.

A Terran reinforced armor guy peaked out from a crater formed by a previous fight at that base. He was rewarded with a staccatto burst of Gauss fire from Fortune. The terran quickly ducked his head back inside, but it was short lived, as a bolt ended his current life.

"Welcome, lead." Pyro said.

The fight was on in full force now, the enemy MAX's had headed into range and were firing at the base guns.

"Guys get out of those guns, and Thor suit up. Pedro, Fire and Don meet me at the maze in front of the complex, this is going to heat up real fast."

Fortune turned around and headed back towards the complex.
Vapors voice came on.

"Uh, lead? We got a problem...."
