Secret Mission
"So what's the plan, O Mighty Ultimate Life form", Rouge the bat said teasingly to her partner. Shadow ignored her and continued to look down at the base below. Omega had been heading to a new base Eggman had built, to find him and kill him. The robot had been out of contact for a few days now. GUN decided to send Shadow and Rouge to Omega's last known coordinates. They had followed them to this base and now were trying to figure out a way to get in unnoticed.
"Well, Eggman's fortified the base so we can't Chaos Control in, there's SAMs, so you can't fly in", he said. "What we need is a distraction, so we can sneak past the guards and get in."
"I can do that", Rouge said and flew off before he could say anything else. As he waited, Shadow wondered what she do as a distraction. A supply truck was moving towards the gate. The gate opened to admit it. The truck moved forward... and exploded. Shadow couldn't help but laugh as he emerged and headed towards the doors. The two robots emerging were smashed to pieces as he skated in. Rouge signaled him over and he complied.
"Was that bang big enough for ya Shadow?", she asked rhetorically. Shadow suppressed a smile as they headed inside. They watched as some robots went to see what the commotion was, while some stayed at their posts. A click went off behind Shadow.
"TURN AROUND", ordered a metal voice. Shadow turned to see two guards. One pointed a gun at him, the other at Rouge. "NOW, YOU DIE." The robot fired... or at least it would've done if a blade hadn't impaled it's chest. The second was cut down by gunfire. Shadow looked at their saviors. One was tall and fearsome looking. It had black, chitinous skin,a long, bladed tail,a head like a banana, with no visible eyes and two, bat-like wings emerged from it's back. It held a large, chunky assault rifle, with what looked like a chainsaw bayonet.
The second was practically the same, but distinctly female: she was curvier, had two, breast-like mounds growing from her chest and her skin was smoother. She was holding two submachine guns, one in each hand. She was helping Rouge to her feat. Then, the male looked at the female and hissed, gesturing up. There were more guards approaching. They retreated to a more secluded area. The male one looked at Shadow.
"Are you okay there, Shadow?", said a voice in his head. Shadow guessed the creature was psychic.
"Yeah, I'm good, thanks for the help back there."
"No problem. I'm Ko'skarr, and this is my mate, Lu'saa. We are, as humans call us, xenomorphs", explained the alien. "We're here to rescue a friend of ours. She was captured while investigating this part of the valley. Now we gotta go help her. You guys could help us and we could help you."
Shadow thought for a bit. "Yeah, that's not such a bad idea."
"Great!", said Lu'saa, "How about we split up. Me and Rouge will head for the prison block while you two divert the guard's attention. That way, we'll have less hassle." Shadow deliberated. It was a good plan, but how could the trust these two? They'd only just met them. He looked at Rouge, who gave him a wink and a shrug. They had little choice.
"OK, we'll go along with your plan. Ko'skarr, come on. You two had better get going", he ordered the group.
"You be careful okay", Lu'saa warned her counterpart.
"My darling, when aren't I?", he replied jokily. He then loaded a fresh clip into his gun and moved off with Shadow. "Alright Shadow, let's see if your as good as people say you are", he then said to the Ultimate Lifeform. The two then ran towards the group of robots marching at them.
While Shadow and Ko'skarr were turning the robots into the scrap metal they are, Lu'saa and Rouge made their way to the air ducts. Rouge was impressed at how fast her new found partner was and how easily she was able to keep up with her. They made it to the grating that covered up a vent. Lu'saa ripped it off and the both climbed inside. They moved quickly down the tunnel, making as little noise as possible. They then arrived at the central computer for the base.
"Excellent!" Rouge had to stop herself from jumping with fright. "We can use that to call up the schematics and plans of the base." Two robots were on station in the room. They conferred to take down one each. Rouge dropped down first and stuck a small EMP device to the robot. It activated and the robot was deactivated. The other was impaled by Lu'saa's sharp tail.
"What isn't that thing capable of breaking through?", Rouge asked.
"You know, I'm not sure", Lu'saa replied, glancing curiously at her tail. Rouge quickly hacked into the system and pulled up the plans. She found recordings of two robots that had been captured and taken to Lab 7 and one answered to the description of Omega. He was scheduled to have his brain wiped, then dismantled and incinerated.
"Come on, we gotta move!", Rouge yelled urgently and headed to the door... as two guards entered at the same time.
"HEY, HALT!", ordered one, raising his gun arm.
"Uhh...", Rouge's brain was whirling, "Uh... we're here under protocol 2514, to check... the uh... key board isn't broken."
"2514... UH THAT DOESN'T COMPUTE... UH... WAIT... UM... YOUR UNDER ARREST!", the robot raised it's gun again.
"Oh, screw it!" Rouge heard a click. "Get down!" She dropped to the ground and gun fire ripped through the air, as the two robots were cut down. Rouge nodded her thanks and the two sped off to the labs.
This is my first chapter, I'll write up more when I come back from holiday. It's to keep you satisfied until then. Read and review and remember: I'll be back. I AM DELAYED, NOT DEFEATED. THE DALEKS ARE NEVER DEFEATED!
