Chapter 2: Within Enemy Lines

Tyion and his men arrived safely and the general awaited them as they disembarked the helicopters. As soldiers passed by, the general proudly shook their hands and padded them on the back, congratulating them and he was astounded by Tyion's operations.

"I'm proud of you commander Tyion, you've shown great promise all of your years here, especially here."

"Thank you general, I appreciate your congrats."

"Let's go inside so we can discuss your next mission, but this one may be more challenging."

They walked into the base. When they arrived in the hallway leading to the briefing room, a soldier exited a room a few doors down.

"General, a soldier wants to speak with you as soon as possible."

"Well, where is he?"

"He's at the oil refinery in the open ocean southeast of here."

Tyion looked at the General, questioned. The General somehow knew what was going on because of his face expression. The General, Tyion and the soldier rushed towards the Com. Room. The General rushed towards his commanding seat and Tyion stood on the side.

"Put me on with the soldier."

Static began to scream through the room and it was difficult to understand the soldier.

"Strengthen the signal."

The static faded out slowly and the soldier was panting heavily and continuous gunfire sounded off in the background.

"General! We have a major problem!"

"What's going on soldier?"

"Some strange creatures are attacking refinery and were losing to many men."

"I'm sending reinforcements."

"There's no use in doing that general, the refinery is going under, and I'm willing to go down with it as long as we take out these damn fiends."

"Nonsense."

"No General, we'll ugh……………"

Static screamed through the room once again but it wasn't stopping.

"Shut it off. A moment of silence for our fallen comrades."

No one made a sound for at least 45 seconds and everyone continued with what they were doing. Tyion and the General walked out of the room and into the briefing room, directly across from the Com. Room. They stood by a table in the center of the room with a holographic globe hovering above it.

"Alright, Tyion, your next mission will be done tomorrow at 0800. The location are some ruins in the east, Eggman and his robotic army were spotted here, aswell as the black aliens."

"You think Eggman is involved in all this?"

"He might be, he's been trying to build this Eggman Empire as long as he's been on this planet, but we have to capture Eggman or at least one of his battleships."

"Why one of his battleships?"

"Everyone of his battleships has coordinates to his every move, where ever he goes, they go."

"So the best thing to do is infiltrate one his battleships and wait for the moment to take Eggman hostage, but what the aliens?"

"This really a solo mission; however, foot soldiers will hold off any attacking aliens that get in your way. Also, if Eggman is working with the aliens, kill him."

Tyion went to his room and threw himself on the bed. He took off his boots and shirt, then setting his alarm and quickly fell asleep. His alarm screamed and woke up him up. It was 7:43 and Tyion quickly got dressed, reloaded his pistols, and strapped on his automatic rifle. He ran out to the hangar where soldiers were preparing for departure. Everyone saluted Tyion as he passed by and the General awaited Tyion at his designated chopper.

"Good morning commander, I know you'll do well on this mission, and your men are looking forward to completing the mission and getting revenge for the incident at the oil refinery."

"I won't let you down General."

Tyion boarded the chopper and everyone was pumped, yelling and screaming. At least 16 choppers flew off. As they flew over the ocean, they saw the sunken oil refinery and Tyion began to crack his knuckles, eager to end this conflict. When arrived near the ruins, a war was already going on. They hovered over a nearby forest and ropes dangled from the helicopters. Men began to slide down the ropes and hide in the shadows. After everyone disembarked the helicopters, they headed back to base. Tyion ordered his infantry unit to go in and eliminate the small enemies and the heavy artillery would take out the big enemies. They were stopped in a open area, taking cover behind fallen pillars broken stones. Tyion noticed that the aliens were attacking the Eggman fleet.

"Everyone, keep them occupied until I board one of these ships! When I board, fall back and call for extraction!"

"YES SIR!!"

Tyion took out his grappling hook and he jumped off the edge, grappling on to the nearest ship. Tyion pulled himself up and used a laser to form a hole big for his body to fit through, through the ceiling. Tyion peeked in first and hopped in. As soon as he landed, he hid behind cover. Suddenly his radio began to ring.

"Sir, Shadow just passed by."

Tyion whispered.

"What is he doing there?"
