Not much people know tactics I take it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leapfrogging_(infantry)The transport planes flew above the battle. One pilot keyed his mic, "Aw sh*t Leon, these guys are in trouble. Drop the equipment ff and let's get the hell outta here!" Both craft opened their cargo bays and let out 4 soldiers each and two of the transport vehicles. A few of the Seekers flew out of formation and tailed them as they took off the way they came. Banks stood among the dropped off supplies. "What the hell! They left us here to die!" He shook his head and brought up his squad roster. Over half were KIA and the rest had small injury lists next to their names. He shook his head. "New guys! Pack up the trucks!" He pointed to the roaches. "Use the turrents to hold them off the perimeter center!" He grimanced as another name got a red X placed over it. "And will EVERYONE stop dieing!" He looked at the 'other' soldiers and shook his head. Too many things were happening all at once for him. |

The Medics were trying to get Draeth and the wounded that could be saved out of there. But Draeth had a ace up his sleeve. He painted the area for orbital bombardment with munitions the size of a large refrigerator made of thermite! This caused a HUGE explosion killing the abondonded wounded and the Alien ground units. The only thing left was the 2 Seekers. They were dispatched easily by Draeth's squad. They were Ghosts. Coming out of the smoke and taking the lives of their enemy. The Medics who had Draeth stopped dead in their tracks when the Soldiers approached them. They didnt talk but used hadn signals. The Leader(easy to find because he had a white stripe on his arms) held out his hands to signal stop. The medic of the squad took Draeth. The other trooper just covered the blast zone with his guns. (One is a medic:Red Cross on helmet: The other one was a heavy :Heavy plasma turret mounted on shoulder with a mini mini gun on wrist and a chain sword on the left hand) After the medic took Draeth, they walked off back into the mist and disappeared like Ghosts.

Jacob had made his way past the retreating soldiers and back to where they were more centralised. He saw a man shouting orders to others. Jacob was fairly certain he was in charge so he wasnt the man he needed. He needed medics. He saw what he was fairly certain were medics. He moved ovr to them.
"You have to help this man."
"No problem its what we do."
Jacob set his savior down on the icy ground and let the medics get to there work. The medics had attempted multiple methods of reviving the man. They first filled his wound with some foam which would stop the bleeding and then proceeded to do many strange methods. He did not recognise many but when they pulled out a defibrillator he knew things were bad. After a few shocks the medics stopped.
"His heart stopped theres nothing we can do."
"Out of the way."
Jacob shoved the medics out of the way and shocked his savior with the defibrillator and then pressed down on his chest with both palms. He repeated the process 3 times. Until the man who saved his life finally came around.
"Oh thank the Lord you came around. You saved my ass and I saved yours. Does that make us even?

Issac was in a tunnel filled with black sadness. Odd.
He looked around, after what felt like years he frantically ran in one direction. He saw a light in the distance, it was white and filled with hope. He ran over to it and slowed to a walk. Michelle's hand extended from the exit, she walked out in a beautiful dress and smiled. She held out a ring, Issac's ring, when he would get off this hellhole and back at the colony, he would marry her. He promised and he even had it in his armor's pocket. She put the ring on and held out her hand, expecting Issac to take it so they could go to heaven. He smiled as tears ran down his face, he had just noticed his armor was gone. He felt cold, he took her hand and then the warmth of love over took him. Being warm in a cold cave...It didn't make any sense.
They walked through the light and saw a heaven of peace and caring. Children ran about happy, they played and laughed, parents were laughing and chatting near a picnic table. He saw one of his long dead army buddies, he put a stereo on the table and music filled the beautiful valley. Michelle began to dance and offered Issac, he took her hand and they began dancing. Something they never did before. Issac's mind was frantically moving, he didn't know what was going on, this didn't make any sense, but it was so nice, they had never been given a chance to dance.
A shock shook him multiple times but he ignored it. Another strong shock hit him. All of a sudden, the sky cracked and shattered showing the black sky it really was. The mountains collapsed, his friends fell over, a bloody mess as they ended up when they were living. The children cried and tried to run to safety, Issac looked at this in horror, he hugged Michelle tightly and didn't let go. But a black skeletal hand appeared from a dark portal and pried him from his love. She fell over crying, she blew a kiss to him. The black hand grabbed Issac hand hauled him through the black portal. Again, cold, black and loveless. Issac just sat down, tears once again streamed down his face, tears of sadness, not joy. There was another light. He quickly got over his sadness and ran towards it. It got colder, and he saw snow, he ignored it. A ice wall smashed against him.
He fell over and saw the unknown soldier over him, he held shock pads.
"Oh thank the Lord you came around. You saved my ass and I saved yours. Does that make us even?" He said,
Issac groaned and found that he was wearing his armor once again.
Yeah. Were even. Issac said, he tried to get up but pain lanced up his side. He just laid down again.

"Well I am glad your alright I didnt get to thank you for saving me. Hell you didnt even know me and you saved me.
The man had layed back down but it was ok as long as he kept breathing.
"You were gone for quite a while. Did you catch a glimpse of the other side?"
This guy risked his life for Jacob and it almost cost him that, surley the Lord had given him at least a glimpse of Heavan.

How Long? growled the Heavy. The Heavy is a super soldier mostly cybrnetics.  They can mount up to two Turrets on their shoulders and some type of weapon on their left wrist and a melee weapon on the right. Heavies have super power armor and exoskelatons with reinforced spines. The spine has a health meter for nearby units to see so if the heavy dies they can get clear of the exlposion. Only great tactians can be heavies and they need surgery and Augementations. They sacrifice their humanity to become what they are now. Hmm. I think a couple of days. If we get him to a hospital that is. replied Hark. Hark was the squads medic. The medic has low armor and only armed with a shotgun.  They can keep fatal wounds from killing the victim. Draeth was a spec ops soldier  This gave the role of scouting or sabotage.

Cpl. Banks was blown from his feet as the bombardment slammed into the encroaching crowd of beasts. He slammed the butt of his rifle into the ground and propped himself up, breathing heavily as he turned toward the overturned APC. Banks' earpiece blared as men awoke and started swearing. "Squad! Regroup to the APCs! We need to prepare to move out!" He hoisted himself up and glanced at the APC left on it's wheels. "I want that APC moving and making perimeter rounds till we get the other one back up!" Three of the mercs ran toward it, hopped inside, and shot off to scout the area. He knelt down, put his hand to the earpiece, and asked thoroughly confused, "Commander, was that bombardment ours?"
Avrit shook his head. Whoever launched that thing was more than strong enough to take down his small scouting force. "Banks, I want you to give me a sitrep and report on what caused that orbital strike. It wasn't ours and you're stuck out there with it until you identify it." The commander didn't waste any time,he knew Banks wouldn't be finding anyhing he could take down and he wasn't going to wait till he got shot out of the air. All three dropships made a slow and steady ascent into the atmosphere and landed back onto the Capital ship before Banks could finish his duties.

Issac had just noticed that his body had healed, alot faster than normal. He looked around and saw his Wolf going around killing Hunters blindly. He knew he would be extremely tired when the wolf came back.
"Well I am glad your alright I didnt get to thank you for saving me. Hell you didnt even know me and you saved me." The soldier said.
Im already dead, and I save people for a living. Consider me an angel of a sort... Issac said sadly, he tried to get up again, this time, no pain. He then stood up and got to the Merc perimeter, making sure the others were following him. He limped there.
"You were gone for quite a while. Did you catch a glimpse of the other side?"
Yeah I did...I dont want to talk about it. So, aside from that, im Issac. Your name? Issac asked, he sat down again to regain some energy, taking a few shots to take out a hunter or two.

The man who saved him got up and went back into the perimeter the other soldiers had set up. The man then sat down in a safer place.
"Yeah I did...I dont want to talk about it. So, aside from that, im Issac. Your name?"
"Im Jacob its a pleasure to meet you. Im just wondering what part of Earth are we on, last time I checked things like whatever the hell those purple things are dont exist."
Maybe now Jacob could get back home to his family after serving in the military for a while.

When Draeth's squad left his scouts came to see who were this people and what were they doing here. This area belonged to them and they were to eliminate this invaders.
"This is Scout 1 reporting in. We got more hostiles coming in from behind the transports in the treeline over" said a voice. Scout 2 was watching that area and saw what was coming.
"HUNTERS! Get your ASS OUT OF THERE!" screamed Scout 2. He pulled out his sniper and fired his AP rounds into the mass. All of these shots missed. Scout 2 breathed slowly and aimed at a Hunters head and scored a headshot.
"Warn HQ that if this treat isnt eliminated we have a problem" said Scout 2 into the Comms bead.
"Roger" said Scout 1

The mercenaries kept eying the mysterious men walking around their perimeter. More than one of them rested their fingers on the trigger of their firearm, expecting trouble from one of them. They all knew what was coming, and they all knew what to do.
"This is Banks, I want those men apprehended and restrained. We ain't leavin' this are till we figure out who sent that payload on it's way."
All the mercenaries surrounding the two men inside the perimeter hoisted their rifles. One man with a grimy gas mask and graying hair said, "Down on the ground pretty boy and this goes by a whole lot easier." The rest of the men stood awaiting what the men's reaction would be. A private with a torn chest plate held his rifle with one hand and a pair of body restraints in the other, waiting for his role in the quick timed event.

"Down on the ground pretty boy and this goes by a whole lot easier." Said a Merc, other mercs raised their guns.
Issac didn't like this, but he wanted these people to live, so he would allow himself to be caught. He holstered his Carbine, the Wolf died out, he knew it was still alive, but no massive surge of emotion.
maybe it has to get back to me...?
His hands were crackling with lightning, some of it made burn lines into the permafrost. He looked down and the lightning quickly went away.
Sorry about that... He said quietly, he held out his arms to be arrested. He could always get out easily, if things got a little too hot.

"Sorry about that..." Issac extended his arms and went along peacefully.
Jacob did the same and extended his arms. He probably couldnt get away if he went guns blazing. There were to many of them and some of them are bound to be better shots then him.
"Ok you can take me, but I wanna know. What did we do?"
Jacob hoped they would name there allegance. If they said EU he could tell them he was to and maybe persuade them to let Issac go also, but this was highly unlikely as none of them shared the white and orange uniform Jacob was wearing. They didnt look they were part of the RA either, Jacob really couldnt tell what they were, they seemed kinda rag tag.

"Run man RUN!" screamed Scout 1. They both ran towards the way Draeth came expecting a cleaing where they can use the dropships as cover. Scout 1 ran out of the tree line and started to slow down. There were soldiers arresting these two people.
"Hot Damn, what happened here?" said Scout 1.

The private with the restraints walked forward. "We're doing this because on Nu Earth, you don't survive long by trusting people ya don't know." The man pushed another soldier forward towards the man with the electricity. "I'll get this oen you take him." He walked over toward the man who asked the question. Slapping a pair of handcuffs behind he back he shoved him forward. "Ya ask the boss if ya wanna know somethin'."
Banks stood in front of the man shoved forward. He shoved a finger into his chest area. "We're men of money, we're part of Rogue Comet," He swept his arms out wide as he backed up with both APCs in the background, "And we're meaning to take over Nu Earth. The boss wants us to figure out who set off the bomb." He walked sharply towards the man with the electricity. "Now what's with you Mister Lightnen, you set off your fancy explosion with your freak powers? Huh?!" He turned back around and started walking towards the closest APC. "Get them loaded onto the transports, we're getting out of these god-forsaken mountains!"
