Rega has escaped Mar Sara and fled to Azaderos, making new friends along the way….
But this is not Rega's story, this is Jaina's story.
Jaina was in what used to be Brenzo's hive, but Brenzo was dead, killed by the archon Xerex-al Ghual. Jaina looked around as the hive buzzed with activity she was sitting for she couldn't stand a hole where her ankle should be from an ultralisk. Small Zerg creatures came over to Jaina followed by an infestor. "Oh hell no," she said to her self igniting the blades Raush had given her killing the two smaller creatures. The infestor shot something at her it stuck like glue and began to grow around her arm to her shoulder she tried to burn it off with the blade but the infestor shot her other arm as well.
Rook followed Rega's siege tank, she may be an amateur at driving it, but she was getting the hang of it. Slyth and Xerex followed behind him as well as an escort.
Jaina watched as the stuff grew to her shoulders and began to go down as it continued to cover her body. First, it went down and went to her legs covering them and sticking them together. Then, the stuff brought her arms to her sides where they were stuck. Finally, it covered her neck and head, at which point she blacked out.
Rega and her group went through the jungle eventually reaching the hive. Rega set up in siege mode and began laying down a heavy rain while the others advanced into the hive slicing and shooting their way to the central chamber where they found the Jaina's cocooned form with an infestor behind her doing something to the cocoon. Rook fired killing the infestor while Slyth cut open the cocoon and Jaina flopped out onto the ground. Slyth picked her up. "Jaina? Jaina can you hear me?" Slyth asked
Jaina opened her eyes slowly and smiled" Yea, I can hear you" she said weakly. Rook kicked the infestor to make sure it was dead.
"Lucky for Jaina another couple seconds and she would've become like Brenzo" Rook said
"Yea, now let's get the fuck outta here" Jaina said
"Yea, guys hurry up the Zerg are closing on me faster than I can shoot them" Rega said
Rook picked up Jaina and carried her out of the hive while the other two went to help Rega before they were overrun. They quickly went back to the camp to find a large dominion force waiting for them, Rook handed Jaina to Slyth and walked to the commanding officer" 'Bout time you guys get here" he said.
"Good to see you too man," the marine said as a group of air units finished off the Zerg. Jaina took off the gauntlets and handed them to Xerex. Rega got out of the tank smiling widely. She got off and leaned against the tank still not being able to walk well from her injuries. A marine walked over to Slyth and she handed Jaina to him. Two marines went over and grabbed Rega turning her around and cuffing her.
"Hey, what the hell? Rook!" Rega yelled struggling with the cuffs. Rook stepped forward but was stopped by the commander.
"Just leave her Rook, she will be taken care of, if you try to help her, we'll kill you and the two girls, got it?" the commander said
"Aye, aye sir." Rook said
Rega and Jaina were taken on board one of the transports and the rest of Rook's forces were loaded up and they went to different Battlecruisers in the fleet that were in orbit.
Rega and Jaina were brought aboard the lead ship in the fleet and put in the brig after they were checked and bandaged. Jaina was put in her own cell block for Psionics while Rega was just put in a cell in the next cell block, they were the only two there and neither one was happy about it.
Rook went to the bridge of the lead ship. "Why are those two in the prison blocks?"
"Because, either one could be infested" the commander said
"They aren't, Jaina maybe, but not Rega she is definitely not infested" Rook said
"Doesn't matter, they will be screened and if any Zerg bio signatures are found on them, then we will keep them in their cells." The commander said
Rook looked at the commander and left the bridge. "Make sure he doesn't go see the prisoners" the commander said as two marines followed Rook out.
Jaina looked around her cell she was cuffed and anchored to the ground as well as blindfolded, to help with disorientation so her Psionics wouldn't work as well. She tried to stand but to no avail for her being anchored to the ground. "Hello?" she called hoping for an answer.
Rega sat on the bunk in her cell waiting for whatever was to come. A couple marines came in followed by a doctor looking person. The marines grabbed Rega by the arms. "Hey, I'll cooperate just let go of me" she said and they let her go, the doctor pulled out a syringe.
"Rega, let me see your arm" the doctor said, Rega held out her arm." This may hurt" the doctor then inserted the syringe into Rega's arm and drew a blood sample. "There we go," the doctor said and the trio left, leaving Rega alone in the cell.
Jaina heard the door to her cell open and turned to it. "Huh, Hello?" she called out but didn't get an answer. "Hello? Please, somebody say something" she pleaded pulling on her cuffs.
"Jaina please stay quiet" a voice said calmly to Jaina
"Please, just tell me what's going on" Jaina pleaded looking around
"Jaina I won't ask you again stay quiet" the voice said, Jaina turned to the sound of the voice
"Please, at least tell me what's going on-mmpphhh" yelped as something was placed in her mouth as something was tied between her teeth gagging her.
"I warned you, now then down to business," the voice said, and Jaina yelped as the doctor drew a blood sample then left her alone. Jaina grunted into her gag pulling on her restraints.
Rook walked past the cell block Rega was in and stood there, he looked over his shoulder seeing the two marines following him he kept going to his cabin and waited.
Rega looked around her cell expecting Rook to come see her, and layed on her bed and fell asleep.
Rook got up and went to the armory and put his armor on, he grabbed his gun and walked to the cell block. "Halt, you are not allowed in here" one of the marines said pointing his rifle at Rook. Rook responded by grabbing the gun pointing at the other guard as the gun fired killing the other guard. Rook then took out his own rifle and stabbed the last guard through the chest and ran to Rega's cell opening the door he went over to her.
"Rega, Rega! Get up we're leaving" Rook said nearly blinding Rega with his lights.
"Okay, let's get Jaina," Rega said sitting up; Rook helped her to her feet. He helped her out of the cell and fired at the marines coming to stop him.
"Go find Jaina, I'll hold 'em off" Rook said
"Okay," Rega said limping away from the fight while Rook continued firing at the marines taking cover at the door to Rega's cell.
Rega found Jaina's cell and opened the door and stepped inside. Jaina grunted and looked over to the sound of the door opening. "Hang on Jaina, I'll get you free, here let's get rid of these" Rega said taking out the gag and blind fold, Jaina spat out the cloth in her mouth.
"Thanks," Jaina said gratefully as Rega got to work on the cuffs.
"No problem, and there" Rega said finishing with the cuffs. Jaina flopped forward from being restrained for so long. "Jaina, you ok?" Rega asked kneeling next to Jaina.
"Yea, I'm ok, just been in that position for so long…." Jaina stretched as the sound of gunfire neared them.
"Cmon, we gotta go" Rega said helping Jaina to her feet and they walked out of the cell. "Rook, where to now?" she asked Rook
"Now you go back to your cells," the commander said standing behind Rega and Jaina, as well as three guards all of which had their weapons concentrated on the three.
Rook looked at Jaina and Rega." Get back!" he yelled firing at the commander and his marines while the two girls fell back into the cell. The commander and his guards took cover from the rounds and he locked the cell the girls were in, then they returned fire on Rook.
The girls got up and went to the door banging on it trying to get out. Rook continued to fire taking cover from the return fire. Rook took a couple rounds to his legs and body but killed a guard. The remaining to guards advanced on Rook as he ran out of ammo. He took out his bayonet shoving it through one guard and getting punched by the second. Rook fell to the ground as the guard pinned him to the ground under his boot and pointed his gauss rifle at his head. "Wait," the commander ordered and the guard removed his finger from the trigger. "Take him to the armory get his armor removed and through him in a cell too" the commander said as a squad came and grabbed Rook while four marines opened the door to the cell the girls were in.
The two girls stepped back seeing the marines as they advanced on them Jaina fell backward stepping on her injured leg. Rega bent over to help her friend, and the marines grabbed the two, bringing them to different cells. Both girls were blindfolded, so they wouldn't see where each other's cells were, and were brought to their cells where they were anchored to the ground, and gagged like how Jaina was earlier.
Rook was dragged to his cell his wrists were cuffed, but beyond that they didn't do any more to restrain him. He was left in his cell while the commander stood outside using the mic to talk to him. "You should've known what was going to happen if you tried to rescue them"
"I did, and Jaina being free just long enough to be of use" Rook said
"What do you mean?" the commander asked, the ship shook as an explosion could be heard, and the breach alarm went off.
"That" Rook said
The commander left heading to the bridge as another explosion rocked the ship and protoss forces entered the ship and made their way through the ship. The protoss reached Rega's cell first, Slyth opened the cell and stepped inside. "Rega…" she said and went over to her and cut her cuffs.
Rega quickly removed the blindfold and gag, spitting out the cloth. "Slyth, thank you for the help, cmon we need to get Rook and Jaina" Rega said standing
"We can only take two with us, you are the first one, and the third will have to stay here" Slyth admitted
"Then who should we take?" Rega asked
"Whoever we find first" Slyth said as they exited the cell and ran through the cell block finding Rook, opened the cell and removed his cuffs, he picked up a pistol off a dead guard and tossed another to Rega.
"Cmon now we have to get Jaina" Rook said
"Wait, Rook they can only take the two of us" Rega said placing a hand on his shoulder. He looked at her then followed her and Slyth as they went back to the transports and left the Battlecruiser and landed back on the planet. When they landed Rega and Rook got out, looking around seeing his abandoned base and walked toward the barracks, he made it half way then collapsed. Slyth and Rega went to him; Slyth took the two to the healing pods and placed them inside.
The commander stepped into Jaina's cell; she grunted looking in his direction when she heard him enter. "Your friends, Rega and Rook are gone," the commander said walking around her; she shook her head in disbelief. "The protoss came and they only entered to take those two out and then they left." The commander smiled looking down at Jaina as she absorbed what he just said. The commander smiled and stepped out of the cell closing the door behind him.
Jaina bent her head over and cried quietly, Why did they leave me? Why didn't they come back for me?, she thought while she cried. She stopped when she heard the door open and someone removed her gag and she spat out the cloth in her mouth.
"I have a deal for you Jaina, you work for me, and you won't be stuck in this cell, like you are now" the commander said
"Depends….. What would be my first mission?" Jaina asked
"To finish the protoss and those traitors on the planet below" the commander said
"Then my answer is no, there are still my-mppphh!" Jaina was cut off as the commander replaced the gag then walked to the door.
"Such a shame," he said quietly as he left the cell.
Jaina layed on her side in her cell crying herself to sleep.
"What are the results from those tests on the blood samples?" the commander asked when he got to the bridge
"Both samples negative for infestation, sir" the doctor said
Slyth walked up to Xerex "We have to save Jaina,"
"I know, wait, I know, I will go alone with a warp prism guaranteeing that we can get her out of there" Xerex said
"Ok, I'll stay here to make sure the Terran don't get the other two" Slyth said
Xerex nodded and entered a warp gate and went through to the warp prism on the Battlecruiser; he then went through the ship killing all in his way as he made his way to the cell block Jaina was in. He found her cell and destroyed the door then destroyed her cuffs. Jaina awoke slowly and removed the blindfold and gag spitting out the cloth she looked to Xerex and smiled she stood and stumbled to him falling into his arms. "Jaina, are you okay?" he asked her
"Yea, I'm okay, let's go" Jaina said as Xerex turned and killed off some more marines and they went to the warp prism finding it under attack by marines, Xerex killed the marines and examined it then looked to Jaina.
"We have a problem" Xerex said killing more marines
"What?" Jaina asked
"The prism is too damaged to fly, it can warp one of us, but the other will still be stuck here" Xerex said
"You go, I've already been a prisoner here for a time," Jaina said looking as Xerex killed more marines.
"Are you sure, Jaina?" Xerex asked placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Yes, I'm sure, go" Jaina said, Xerex walked over to the prism and it warped him back to the planet, then overloaded as the marines destroyed it. Jaina looked around and put her hands up while the marines surrounded her. She was put in another cell the same way she was before, but she was becoming used to the treatment. The commander eventually came into the cell she could tell by how he walked he was wearing his combat armor.
"Come on Jaina, we have places to go" the commander said taking the chain that anchored her to the ground and pulled her to her feet. He led her out of the cell and onto a transport, where it as well as many others descended onto the planet landing near the old dead hive. They quickly set up camp and the commander led Jaina through the jungle, still blindfolded and gagged. The commander also had an escort as he came to the clearing where Rook was coming out of the barracks with his armor and rifle.
"What the hell do you want?" Rook asked pointing his rifle at the commander
"A trade" the commander said forcing Jaina to her knees
"What do I possibly have to trade for her?" Rook asked
"The other girl will suffice" the commander said, Jaina grunted and shook her head once she heard what the commander said.
"Rega, Fuck. You." Rook answered
"Fine then, I'll kill her" the commander said taking out a pistol putting it to Jaina's head.
"No!" Rega yelled running toward the commander wearing the new clothes she was given.
"Rega, wait" Rook said holding an arm out for her to stop, Slyth and Xerex watched as the commander smiled and shot Rega square in the chest and brought Jaina to her feet using her as a meat shield. "No, Rega! You bastard!" Rook yelled angrily pointing his rifle at the commander firing hitting and killing his guards first then pointed it back at the commander. Slyth ran to Rega's side while Xerex went toward the commander.
"Stay back or there will be more blood on the ground" the commander said as he put his gun up to Jaina's head again stepping backward. His face plate went up as he smiled at the people around him. Jaina hearing the face plate go up head butted the commander causing him to drop her and stumble backward Rook fired three rounds into the commander's chest he fell to his knees and fired his pistol hitting Jaina in the back.
Jaina screamed into her gag from the pain, Slyth brought Rega into the pod hurrying to save her. One of the healers came to Slyth "Her wound is extensive she will be forced to stay in here for some time, if she is removed and it hasn't finished she may die." The healer said
"Very well we have another that will need to come in" Slyth said as Rook entered with the screaming Jaina, he hadn't removed the gag, but removed the blindfold for her. Jaina had tears streaming down her face she couldn't feel her legs and just above her waist all she could feel was pain. "Hurry, bring her to that pod over there" Slyth said pointing to another pod.
Rook nodded and brought Jaina to the pod she was quickly undressed and ungagged and placed in the pod where she went unconscious by the machine. Rook sighed and looked to Slyth and the healers. "How long 'til both girls will be out?" he asked
"Jaina won't be long, only damage mainly to her spinal cord, it will, however take her time to walk again" one healer said looking at the monitor on Jaina's machine
"Rega will take longer, the entire thing ripped a hole through her chest as large as your gauntleted fist" Slyth said
"But she will live, right?" Rook asked
Slyth put a hand on his shoulder" Yes, she will" Slyth said and left Rook glanced at the girls in their pods then left.
Xerex waited with his forces outside when Rook came out." Shall we go finish them off?" Xerex asked
"Go a head, I need to get some shut eye," Rook said walking to the barracks
Xerex nodded and led his forces against the unprepared Terran camp easily decimating them, while Rook went into the barracks and went to sleep.
Slyth waited in her home meditating. Jaina came to as the machine finished with her; she practically fell out of the pod as one of the healers caught her. "Is it normal for my legs to still be numb?" she asked as the healer helped her dress
"Yes for the injury you received it is" the healer answered
"How is Rega's healing going?" Jaina asked
"Another hour or so and she should be out and about, she'll come out like how you did though" the healer answered and helped Jaina to her feet and helped Jaina walk to go see Slyth, the door to Slyth's home opened as they approached.
"Ahh, Jaina glad to see you up, come in please," Slyth said leading Jaina inside as the healer bowed and went back to work. "No doubt Raush taught you the combat part of Psionics, but now it is time to meditate. First sit and clear your mind, you will begin to sense the things around you then farther out, and soon everything on the planet, and as you practice you won't need to meditate, but if you are disturbed in the middle of meditation like someone moves you, then well….I don't know hasn't happened to me yet" Slyth said sitting down
Jaina sat down across from Slyth and did as she was told and could sense the chair, Slyth and other objects in the room, then she sensed the barracks and the command center, then she sensed Xerex and his forces returning to base.
Xerex came back into the camp and went to Slyth's home where he saw Jaina meditating. "Slyth is a good teacher is she not?" he asked Jaina
"Yes, she is" Jaina said as she finished her meditation
"Good, now then come with me we must get you refitted" Xerex said.
Jaina stood, bowed to Slyth then followed Xerex out to the forge where she was fitted with new blades and armor that had shields on it as well as just armor. She came out of the forge with Xerex and they went to train.
Rook woke up and immediately got his armor on, as instinct, then walked to Rega's pod.
Rega came out of the pod barely conscious she fell into Rook's arms. "Rega, Rega can you hear me?" he asked her
"Huh? Yea I can hear you, why are your hands so cold?" Rega asked her eyes still not open yet.
"Sorry, I'm in my armor, Rega" Rook explained helping her stand.
"Okay then," Rega said opening her eyes looking at Rook as a healer came in to help her dress.
"Hang on I'm going to go and take off my armor" Rook said quickly heading to the barracks to get his armor removed.
"Okay, thank you for the help" Rega said looking to the healer
"It is my job Rega" the healer answered
Rook reentered the building and helped Rega with her legs as the numbness went away, and she was soon able to walk on her own. They went to the barracks and began eating some food.
Xerex and Jaina trained in fighting techniques when the heard a low rumble. They looked up seeing a Battlecruiser coming to the planet, it looked badly damaged and soon it impacted the ground near their camp. Rega and Rook were soon coming out of the barracks to go see what was going on and the four went to go see the crash.
When they arrived at the sight, all four were immediately put on edge at what they saw. The Battlecruiser was infested, but there were Zerg bodies outside. They stepped toward the ship and heard a weak hiss. They look inside as a hydralisk weakly crawled out shot multiple times in the torso and arms. Rega recognized the hydralisk and knelt beside it. "Cretch?"
Cretch looked at Rega, and hissed again.
"Hang on Cretch, you treated me well, so I'm going to return the favor" Rega said putting Cretch's claw over her shoulder.
"Rega, what are you doing?" Slyth asked
"This is Cretch, friend of my father he helped me on Mar Sara" Rega said helping Cretch up struggling under his weight. Jaina came over and helped Rega with Cretch.
"We need to bring him somewhere safe, then we can come back to explore what happened to the ship" Rega said as the two girls began pulling Cretch with them toward the camp. Rook came and helped the two as well while Xerex and Slyth watched for whoever killed the other Zerg.
They reached camp and they brought Cretch to the med bay where Rega stayed to treat him for his injuries. Jaina and Rook put on their armor and grabbed their original weapons, then headed back to the crash. Slyth and Xerex stayed at camp to make sure nothing happened to Rega while she treated Cretch.
Jaina and Rook entered the Battlecruiser and began exploring the ship. "Nothing but a lot of dead Zerg" Jaina said as they continued through the ship.
"Yea, but what killed 'em is the question." Rook said
"I think I know who did" Jaina said turning as three spectres uncloaked behind the two.
"Jaina, it's been a long time" the leader said
"I told you already Rex, I am not going to become a spectre" Jaina said angrily
"Oh, Jaina, Jaina, Jaina, this time it isn't about that, not any more anyway, we are here to take you into custody, as well as Rega, and I'm guessing this is Rook" Rex said reading the list from his HUD. The other two pointed their rifles at Jaina and Rook. "Come quietly, I don't want to make this to hard on either of you" Rex said
Rook brought up his rifle as well as Jaina. "Yea, fuck you," Rook said "You ain't touching Rega" he said
"Very well then, this should be fun" Rex said as he and his partners cloaked and split up. Jaina looked at Rook.
"Stay close, we need to get out of the ship" Jaina said, he put down his face plate, showing a zergling head design on it and they slowly made their way toward the exit. They stopped at an intersection when they heard something running around them. Rook used his lights and looked around.
Rook fell to a knee grabbing his head" Ugh, dammit my head hurts" he said, Jaina came to him.
"Rook come on, get up we're almost there, cmon" Jaina said trying to help him to his feet.
"Jaina he can't do anything, it seems that Vex has entered his mind and is wreaking havoc on him" Rex said stepping out of the shadows and uncloaking. One of the other spectres came out of the shadows across from Rex gun pointed at Jaina. Jaina pointed her gun from Rex to the other spectre.
"Rex, please leave Rega and Rook outta this, I know it's between you, me, and your partners." Jaina said
"Yes, you're right Jaina" Rex said
"So, if I come willingly come with you, can you leave the others alone?" Jaina asked glancing at Rook still gripping his head.
"Yes, I will, unless they come for you, if we see those protoss, Rega, or Rook come to get you, we will not only capture the ones we need, and we will kill the rest" Rex said. Vex stepped out of the shadow and released her hold on Rook.
Jaina dropped her rifle and gave Rook her gauntlets" Rook, get out of here" she said he stood and looked at her.
"Jaina, are you sure?" he asked
"Yes, go" she said to him, he left and she looked to Rex and put her hands behind her back as the third cuffed her hands and they led her out of the ship in the opposite direction of the camp and brought her to the spectre camp. She was blindfolded once they entered the camp and she was shoved to the ground. She grunted and tried to get back up, but was pinned to the ground.
"Jaina we are going to enjoy this" Vex said "Rex, who should start?"
"Let Jaila do it, sisterly love will be good for them" Rex answered taking off his helmet. The third spectre removed her helmet and looked at her cuffed and blindfolded sister.
"Thank you Rex, I think I can knock some sense into my sister" Jaila smiled stepping toward her sister as Vex stepped aside.
"Jaila, how could you become a spectre? You always told me they were all crazy and evil" Jaina said looking in the direction of her sister
"Yes, but when I heard you disappeared, I signed up, and they told me that if you were alive that I would be your trainer should you want to become one." Jaila said pinning her sister to the ground with her boot. Vex and Rex decided to leave for now to allow the two some privacy.
Jaila crouched by her sister's head and removed the blindfold. "I am glad you're still alive Jaina" she said, and began working on the cuffs.
"What are you doing?" Jaina asked quietly
"Helping you, that's what sisters do" Jaila said detecting Rex and Vex returning finished the cuffs, and helped Jaina to her feet.
"Jaila and Jaina, I knew that your sisterhood was unbreakable." Rex said as he and Vex approached. Both immediately assaulted the sister's minds, Rex took on Jaila, while Vex took on Jaina. Jaila cringed as Rex beat her and fell to her knees; then Jaila blacked out. Rex then turned on Jaina who was beating back Vex. Jaina withstood the assault from both spectres, and she was able to force Vex to her knees, but the distraction with Vex opened a new assault from Rex, he took down the ghost and she too, blacked out.
Rook reached the camp alone with Jaina's equipment. Slyth came to him. "Where is Jaina? What happened?" she asked
"Spectres, don't go to get her, if you do, they'll kill everyone in our camp." Rook said and went to go see Rega. She smiled to him when he entered Cretch was laying down beside her.
"Cretch is already back to full strength" Rega said happily standing up.
Rook popped up his face plate, "Rega, Jaina is gone"
"Gone? What do you mean?" Rega asked
"Spectres took her, and I couldn't do anything about it" Rook said punching a wall.
"Why don't we go get her then?" Rega asked
"Because, if we go to save her, they'll kill us and everyone else here" Rook said looking at Rega. Cretch got up and hissed to Rook. "Yes, Cretch could get her, they said that if the protoss or you and I came they would kill everyone, they said nothing against a Zerg coming" Rook smiled
Jaina came to her head aching and found she couldn't move all that well. She looked around finding herself blind folded and gagged now as well, she pulled forward finding herself tied to something else that moved when she did, and received an angry grunt from her sister, then she felt her sisters hands cuffed just underneath her breasts, and her own hands were just underneath Jaila's breasts. "Ahh, you're both awake now, Jaina you've learned some new tricks, before you could barely hold your own against Vex, but now you can beat her and take me for a time" Rex said
Jaina grunted turning in the direction of his voice. Jaila grunted as well trying to turn to see what was going on, even though she was blindfolded as well.
Cretch burrowed in the direction he detected the massive Psionic levels and neared the spectre camp and had to come out in order to see who he was supposed to get.
Vex turned at the sound of something coming out of the ground. "Rex, it's that hydralisk from the ship, told you we should've finished it off" Vex said reaching for her gun receiving a spine jabbing into her arm as Cretch began firing spines at the two spectres. She fell to the ground after getting hit multiple times from multiple places. Rex fired a couple rounds from his rifle at Cretch, hitting him a couple times then he too was struck by the hydralisk and fell.
Cretch slithered over to the two sisters and hissed at them while examining the two, they both smelled the same, and both were prisoners, so he would take both, but before he could do anything he felt tremendous pain as the spectres began psionically assaulting him, he fell and blacked out.
Jaina and Jaila began struggling with their bonds, but the bonds were too tight and they only succeeded in wearing themselves out.
Rex and Vex removed the spines and treated themselves, then tied down Cretch before he came to, tying his arms to his torso and tying his head and body down so he couldn't shoot spines at them, then they rested.
"Where is he? He should be back by now" Rega said pacing in the barracks
"Calm down Rega, he may be taking a detour to the dead hive or something" Slyth said
"Yea, or maybe he's dead" Rega said
"No, they would come see us if he died" Rook said
Cretch came to and hissed trying to break his bonds to no avail. Rex and Vex came out with two posts and two even lengths of chain. They hooked the chain to Jaina and Jaila's leg cuffs, then pulled them to as tight as possible in opposite directions and panted the post at the spot and hooked the chain to it, this caused extreme discomfort and allowed for almost no movement whatsoever.
Jaina and Jaila grunted repeatedly while pulling on the chain quickly finding that it had almost no slack in it at all.
"Okay then, I have something I need to do while I wait" Rega said heading to the armory
"What's that?" Rook asked
"I need a sample of creep in order to figure out how to best remove it" Rega said
"Ok, I'm coming too then" Rook said
"No, I want to do this on my own for now, Rook" Rega said
"But what about what you told me about not leaving you?" Rook asked as Rega stepped out of the door
"That ended when you killed that commander" Rega said and went to the armory grabbing a pistol and went into the jungle heading to the dead hive. She reached a clearing where the hive used to be and looked around. "Dammit!" Rega growled kicking a log over and found a creep patch. "Yes" she said happily bending over to get the sample. She was startled by someone clamping their hand over her mouth and pulling her back to full height, she could feel metallic claws pushing into her neck but not puncturing the skin.
"Calm down, I won't hurt you if you calm down" the person said with a feminine voice
Slyth followed Rega through the trees and saw the person holding Rega, she stepped forward when someone grabbed her from behind and shoved her to the ground, when she attempted to get up a human uncloaked and pinned her to the ground with his boot rifle aimed at her head.
"Now then, who do we have here?" Rex asked looking down at the female protoss
"My name is-Slyth" Slyth answered
"And why are you here?" Rex asked
"I came to make sure nothing happened to Rega" Slyth answered
"Rega, you mean the one that Vex just captured, oh don't worry, she'll be fine" Rex said bashing Slyth in the face with the butt of his rifle knocking her out. "Vex, hurry up"
"Ok," Vex called back" Cmon, Rega we have places to go people to meet, ad many things to do" Vex said removing her hand on Rega's neck.
Rega took a chance when Vex removed the claws from her neck; she head butted Vex and rolled forward, pointing her pistol at Vex after she stood and turned to the dazed spectre. "With you, no, I prefer to go with friends," Rega said, and turned when she heard a chuckling sound from a different direction, she turned to see where the noise came from, seeing nothing she turned back to Vex only to get elbowed in the face and was out cold.
Vex picked up Rega leaving the pistol and brought her to camp where Rex was checking the sisters' bonds. "What took you so long?" he asked her.
"She head butted me" Vex said setting Rega down next to Jaina and Jaila.
Cretch smelled Rega and hissed loudly pulling on his bonds, snapping the bonds around his torso, and before the spectres could react he burrowed himself in the ground and hid.
"Shit, hurry with her, I'll find and kill that fucking thing" Rex said grabbing his rifle.
Vex began with blindfolding Rega then cuffing her hands behind her back resting on the other four arms, then began tying her to the other two, then finished with chaining her legs in the same fashion as the two sisters. She went to gag her but noticed something already in the girl's mouth she pulled it out. "Clever little-"
"Back away from them, now!" Rook yelled gauss rifle pointed at Vex's head.
Vex put her hands in the air and did as she was told Cretch came out of the ground behind Vex, and using his claws each one in one of her shoulders, pinned her to the ground. Rook quickly went over and broke the chains on the three and removed the blindfolds and gags on them, then worked on the other bonds; removing them as well he looked to Jaina. "You alright?" he asked her
"Yea, I'm fine" Jaina said standing up then helped her sister to her feet. "This is my sister Jaila" Jaina explained
Jaila put Rega's arm over her shoulder and pulled her to her feet." Hi,"
"Hi, we need to go, now" Rook said
Jaina went over to Cretch and Vex," Cretch you can let her go, we'll take her with us" Cretch hissed and removed his claws.
Vex cringed and gritted her teeth from the pain in her arms, and before she could do anything she was lifted into the air and thrown over Jain's shoulders. She struggled, but couldn't struggle all that much with her injured shoulders. They made their way back towards the camp; Vex hoped that Rex would come to save her, but those hopes were dashed when she was brought into the barracks and blindfolded. She was tossed on the ground where her wrists and ankles were bound, her wrists were tied behind her back, and then she was gagged before she could even react.
"There all nice and tight" Jaina said as she finished binding Vex
Vex continued to struggle against her bonds. Rega was coming to in the med bay, she sat up rubbing her temple. "Ow, that hurt"
"What did they do?" Rook asked sitting next to Rega
"Bitch elbowed me in the face" Rega said
"Oh, well she's our prisoner now" rook said standing up holding out a hand to help Rega.
Rega took the hand and got off the bed her vision still slightly blurred, Rook followed behind Rega as she went out to the main part of the barracks where all the bunks were.
Vex was on the floor near a bunk rolling around grunting from the pain she felt when she moved. Rega saw her and smiled she walked up to Jaina," You got any more rope?" she asked smiling her vision cleared.
"Yea, here" Jaina smiled back handing Rega some rope
Rega knelt next to Vex and grabbed the knot around her ankles forcing her legs to bend as she took her rope and tied the rope from the knot at her ankles to the knot at her wrists hogtying her. "There, much better" she commented as she stood and walked past Jaina and Rook as she walked outside to see Cretch waiting for her. She walked up to the hydralisk and petted his head gently. "Good job Cretch"
Jaina and Rook followed Rega out, rook waited by the door to the barracks while Jaina went to go see her sister." I have one question Jaila, What were the three of us wanted for?" Jaina asked
"Rook is wanted for the murder of several marines and a commander, the same one that sent out the job saying you and Rega were both infested"
"Well, we aren't the protoss would have killed already if we were" Jaina said
"I know you wouldn't be infested" Jaila agreed
Vex continued struggling with her bonds hopelessly and gave up on getting free. Where the fuck is Rex?, she thought to herself trying to use a bunk to remove the blindfold still with no luck.
"So then, I know that Rex is still out there, probably mad that we captured Vex, and will soon be here to attempt to kill us all and get her back" Jaina said
"Yea, sounds like him" Jaila said
"Okay then we should probably…..probably….." Jaina collapsed
"Jaina? Jaina?" Jaila asked trying to get a response from her sister
Slyth ran to Jaila's side and checked Jaina's life signs. "She's okay, her body is shut down from exhaustion, she hasn't slept for about 20-30 days" Slyth said, Jaila picked up her sister and brought her to the barracks and set her down on a bunk to rest, and then she came back out.
"Yea, that sounds like her" she commented
Vex sensed someone was in the room, she knew Jaina was inside unconscious, but there was someone else there. Suddenly her blindfold and gag were removed, and she was nearly blinded by the lights. "Vex, you okay?" Rex asked once her vision became accustomed to the light.
"Yea, just my shoulders are injured is all" Vex answered wearily
"Okay, I can get you out of here" Rex said cutting the rope that kept her hogtied.
"No, take Jaina, you can use her, implant her with one of those chips, I'll be fine here" Vex argued
"Yes, I see your point, but I will cut you free first" Rex said and finished cutting Vex's bonds then threw Jaina over his shoulder and cloaked himself and the girl he was carrying. Then he snuck out of the barracks and back to his camp.
Vex got up slowly her shoulders screaming in pain. She looked around trying to find a weapon she could use to defend herself. She found nothing as the door opened she hid behind a bunk on the opposite side of the barracks from the door, peeking out over it she saw Rega coming in to check on Jaina. She gasped seeing that both Jaina and Vex were nowhere to be seen she turned to the door and was about to open it when a hand clamped over her mouth and pulled her away from the door. She yelled into the hand and tried to see who it was, she had her guesses, but she wanted to see who it was. "Hi, Rega," Vex said and brought Rega farther into the barracks away from the door. She tossed Rega to the ground and grabbed the left over rope off of one of the bunks.
Rega hit the ground and turned facing Vex who was carrying the rope and began advancing on her. Rega began crawling backwards away from Vex, until she hit the wall; Rega noticed that Vex's shoulders were still injured and bleeding. She stood up and looked at Vex, the spectre continued to advance on Rega, Rega looked around quick to see if anything could help her, but found nothing. Rega turned back to Vex finding the spectre directly in front of her.
Vex smiled and put a finger to Rega's lips. "Shh…" she said then used her Psionics to make the girl black out while she bound, and gagged her, not seeing a need to blindfold her, Vex left Rega on the top bunk, and then went to the med bay and treated her arms and began to meditate on the bunk below Rega.
Jaila made her way over to the barracks to get some rest; she entered and immediately saw Rega bound on top of one of the bunks. She looked around seeing that Vex was gone; she quickly went over to Rega and started undoing the bonds. Then she was pulled back a hand clamped over her mouth and a knife at her back. "Hey, Jaila, I see you've found Rega, It seems, that you will share the same fate as her, for now, unless you try to fight me, then this knife may go a little deeper" Vex said quietly prodding Jaila with the knife. Jaila responded by putting her hands up. Vex removed the hand from Jaila's mouth and removed the knife hitting Jaila in the back of the head with the hilt of the knife knocking her out. Then she tied and gagged her like with Rega, but she blindfolded Jaila.
Rook walked into the barracks after Vex brought Jaila onto the bunk across from Rega, she now had a pistol in hand; he pointed his rifle at her. "Put the gun down" he said
Vex looked at him and smiled pointing her pistol at the still unconscious Rega. "Why should I? I seem to have hostages." She said "So, you put down your gun or leave"
Rook grumbled to himself and backed out of the barracks. Slyth walked up to Rook. "What's going on?"
"Vex, has Rega and Jaila hostage" Rook said
"Wait, what about Jaina?" Slyth asked
"I don't know she wasn't in the main room, she may have been moved to a different part of the barracks" Rook said
Vex looked at her captives and smiled to herself then went to loading her pistol.
Slyth looked at Rook. "What does she want?" she asked him
"I don't know, she didn't say" Rook said
"If you want to know what I wanted, you could have asked" Vex said standing in the doorway of the barracks.
Rook and Slyth immediately turned to Vex. "Then what do you want?" Rook asked
"Time, is all I need right now, just give me time and at a certain amount of time I will release the two hostages and leave this fucking camp" Vex answered smiling evilly as she stepped into the barracks.
Slyth and Rook looked at each other" Two hostages, it means, Jaina isn't there, or she's helping." Slyth said
Rex reached his camp setting Jaina down in one of the huts and prepared her for implantation, when he heard something outside; he walked out seeing a small transport land and a single person step out of the lowered hatch. "Who are you?" he asked the person.
"Her name is Xues, Jaila's replacement" the pilot said
"Ahh, well then, come with me for your briefing" he said leading Xues into a hut separate from the one Jaina was in. "Okay then, we have another member of my team, Vex, is stuck in a traitor barracks here" Rex said as pointing to the spot on the map where the camp was. "I need you to help her get out of there and get back here, got it?" Rex said looking to Xues, she nodded then cloaked herself and left. Rex went back to Jaina in the other hut. "Begin the implantation procedure" he ordered as a computer activated and began the process of implanting the chip into Jaina's skull.
Vex waited for Rex to signal back that the procedure had finished when she heard someone enter the building through the roof, the same way Rex got in. she went over to the hatch pistol at the ready only to see another spectre. "Who are you?"
"Xues, sent to get you out of here" Xues answered
"Okay-wait he didn't tell you did he?" Vex asked
"Tell me what?" Xues asked crossing her arms
"I have hostages, one of which we are going to bring back" Vex said leading Xues to the main room where Rega was starting to come to and began struggling with her bonds.
"Which one are we supposed to bring?" Xues asked looking from Rega to Jaila her light violet eyes flashing between the two.
"The one that's still unconscious" Vex answered, Rega's eyes widened and began struggling with her bonds and fell off the bunk hitting the bunk next to it and then hitting the ground, she layed motionless on the ground a small pool of blood forming around her head. "Shit, we need to go activate her cloaking and let's go" Vex said
Xues walked over to Jaila activating the cloaking device on her suit then threw Jaila over her shoulder, and followed Vex out both were cloaked as they escaped the barracks and made their way back to their camp.
"We need to get in there now" Slyth said heading to the door of the barracks; she cautiously opened the door and looked inside seeing Rega on the floor bleeding. She ran over to Rega "Rook! Get in here!" she yelled Rook ran in.
"Shit, get her to the med bay" he said as Slyth picked up Rega carefully and brought her to the med bay Rook got out of his armor and ran to the med bay. He began examining the wound. "She should be okay, just a concussion and a cut from the frame of the bunk," Rook explained and carefully cleaned the wound then wrapped Rega's head.
Slyth sighed with relief" Okay, at least she'll be okay, but where is Jaila?" she asked looking around the barracks.
"Shit…Vex must've taken her" Rook said
"She would need help though, she's still injured though, there is no way she can carry her" Slyth said
"Yea, which means, they're either both still her or she had help" Rook said sitting down next to Rega.
Xues and Vex reached camp finding Jaina and Rex waiting for them." About time you guys get back" Jaina commented
"Hey, your sister is kind of heavy" Vex replied" Me and Xues had to switch about halfway here" Vex said looking to Xues who had Jaila thrown over her shoulder.
"Where do we put her?" Xues asked
"Put her in my hut, I'll talk with her later" Jaina said, Xues nodded and did as told leaving Jaila on the bed for now, and then met up with the other four. "What now, sir?" Jaina asked looking to Rex.
"You and Vex are gonna stay here to guard the camp while Xues and I go have fun" Rex said
"What kind of fun?" Xues asked
"The kind of fun that involves shooting people and large explosions" Rex answered
"And why can't I come?" Vex asked
"Because you're injured," Rex answered calmly, Vex and Jaina nodded and began heading into the camp Jaina went to her hut and Vex went to the med bay. Jaina entered her hut to find Jaila squirming on the bed trying to get free of her bonds.
"Here, let me help" Jaina said removing the blindfold and gag.
"Jaina? Where are we?" Jaila asked wearily
"We are at the spectre camp" Jaina answered smiling slightly
"Why are you smiling then?" Jaila asked
"Because I am what you were" Jaina said, Jaila's eyes widened and she slammed her face into the mattress of the bed. "What's wrong Jaila?"
"You are not a spectre Jaina, you were brainwashed by the chip in the bottom of your skull" Jaila answered
Jaina felt the beck of her head down to her neck and felt a small rectangular thing there. "How did you know?"
"Because I had one" Jaila answered
"How did you get it removed?" Jaina asked
"Untie me and I can get it out for you, I don't think it's fully activated yet so this shouldn't be too hard." Jaila said, Jaina untied her sister and Jaila got to work removing the chip before it anchored itself deeper into Jaina's skull, Jaina gritted her teeth from what she was feeling as the chip slowly came out of her head.
"Is it out?" Jaina asked
"Yea, wanna see it?" Jaila asked
"Uh, sure?" Jaina answered and Jaila showed her the small chip, it had forward bending legs and was covered in Jaina's blood. "Dam, that thing was in my skull trying to get to my brain?"
"Yep, now then let's get out of here before-"Jaila stopped when she heard the door open
"Before what Jaila?" Vex answered in the door
"Shit… Before you came in here, cmon Jaina, let's go. Jaina? Jaina?" Jaila looked at her sister shaking her shoulder slightly with no response.
"Oh yea, that chip wasn't for brainwashing, it's for when it's removed she is a lot easier to take over, and now is unconscious" Vex said smirking
Xues and Rex neared the camp; they looked into the clearing seeing a couple patrols. "What's our target?" Xues asked
"That building over there, it allows them to heal faster than normal" Rex said pointing to one of the protoss structures. They snuck over to the structure and began planting explosives to it; then ran back into the jungle detonating the explosives destroying the building.
Rook and Slyth looked toward the sound of the explosion and they went out to see the healing temple was destroyed. "Shit…We need to kill those fuckers," Rook said heading back into the barracks.
"You guard Rega, I'll go get the spectres" Slyth said
"You sure?" Rook asked
"Yea, I'm sure" Slyth said running into the jungle
Rook waited with a pistol in the med bay guarding Rega.
Jaila stood looking at Vex, and slowly reached for her pistol. "Don't even think about it, Jaila" Vex said pointing a pistol at Jaila with one hand while holding a knife in the other; she stepped toward Jaila putting the knife to her throat. "Oh, cmon you knew I was going to pull a pistol, don't look so angry Jaila" Vex smiled holstering her pistol and reached around grabbing the pistol Jaila still had holstered behind her back and tossed it outside.
Rex and Xues returned to camp seeing the pistol and Vex in the hut. Rex looked to Xues and they both went to the hut. Guns pointed on Jaila. Jaila responded by putting her hands in the air. "I see you've found out what that chip does" Rex commented
"Yea, you're an ass Rex" Jaila said as Vex removed the knife
"Hey, very mean" Vex said fake hurt
"Shut it, Vex," Jaila said venom in her tone
Vex looked to Rex, he lowered his gun and nodded; Vex turned back to Jaila and punched her in the face until she was out cold. Then rebound and regagged Jaila and tied Jaina to the chair she was in, blindfolding and gagging her as well, then the three left the sisters in the hut locking the door behind them and turning out the lights.
As soon as the three left, Jaina awoke her arms behind the back of the chair where they were bound to together and to the chair, she attempted to move her legs, but they too were tied to the chair. She grunted into her gag and pulled at her bonds.
Rook and Slyth planned out how they would rescue Jaina and Jaila when Rega came to. Rega sat up on the bed, "Guys? They-they took Jaila and Jaina" Rega said a slight slur in her voice.
Rook turned to Rega and went to her side." We know, you had a concussion you need to rest your head is still gonna hurt if you don't" Rook said putting a hand on Rega's shoulder and guided her back onto the pillow.
"Rook, we got a ship inbound, it's badly damaged." Slyth said
"What's the brand on it?" Rook asked
"Dominion" Slyth answered
"Get all turrets pointed on that thing and open a com channel." Rook ordered and stepped out of the med bay with Slyth.
"Com channel opened" Slyth reported
"Attention Dominion ship, state your business here" Rook said through the com
"Dominion-oh, we aren't dominion, we just escaped from them, requesting permission to land" the pilot responded
"Permission granted, head to the Starport, don't try anything we have turrets locked on you" Rook warned
"Got it," the pilot answered and began the descent toward the Starport. One of the damaged engines exploded." Shit, Mayday! We are going down" the pilot said as the ship crashed near the crashed Battlecruiser.
"Cmon, let's go" Rook said getting his armor on and grabbed his rifle
"What about Rega?" Slyth asked
"Cretch will keep her safe" Rook said heading towards the smoke plume the transport was leaving. They neared the transport and went to the wreckage, rummaging through it they found an entrance into it. They entered, "Hello? Anyone still alive in here?" Rook asked turning on his lights
"Over here!" a feminine voice called from near the cockpit
Rook and Slyth followed the voice to find a Medic propped against a wall. "You ok?" Slyth asked kneeling next to the medic
"Yea, just my legs is all" the medic replied
"Where's the pilot?" Rook asked
"Behind the jammed door" the medic answered
Rook looked to Slyth they traded spots, he carefully picked up the medic, while Slyth cut open the door and was immediately tackled to the ground pistol pointed at her head. "Who the fuck are you?" the marine asked
"Calm down, we are here to help you" Slyth said
"Oh, uhh, sorry" the marine said getting off of Slyth, he holstered his pistol and lent a hand down to help Slyth to her feet, she took the hand and stood.
"Good, then let's go" Rook said heading to the exit
"I'm Jake by the way" the marine said
"I'm Rook, just call me by that" Rook called back
"I'm Slyth" Slyth said as she took up the rear of the group.
"Hi, I'm Crystal," the medic smile at Rook
Rook smiled back and looked over at the Battlecruiser he handed Crystal to Slyth. "Lead them back to camp I have something I wanna check out" he said as they heard a clanging sound and Jake and Rook both pointed their rifles at the opening in the side of the Battlecruiser.
"Rook, I think I should come with" Jake said
"Ok, you can come; we may find something of use" rook said as Slyth left with Crystal, and Jake followed Rook into the Battlecruiser stepping over the Zerg bodies.
"This your guys' work?" Jake asked turning on his lights
"No, it's the work of Dominion spectres, who currently have two of my friends hostage at their camp." Rook said grimly as they neared the source of the sound a large war machine. Rook whistled at the sight. "Dam, wish I had one of these" he said going over to a console typing in a command as the machine powered up.
"Alpha 1001 online, systems damaged repairs required," it said
"Alpha? Wait, I know you-James?" Rook asked looking at the machine
"How do you know my name? Who are you?" Alpha asked
"Whoa, calm down James, What did they do to you?" Rook asked, Jake stayed back slightly wondering what was going on.
"I was rebuilt after, an incident" Alpha said
"Fucking bastards, Cmon James, let's go back to the camp" Rook said leading the way out of the Battlecruiser and back to the camp. "Alpha head to the factory I'll meet you there" Rook said as Alpha followed orders heading to the factory, while Jake and Rook went to the barracks to go see the medics.
Rega looked at Crystal, "Hi, I'm Rega, who are you?"
"Crystal, you look a little young to be in a place like this" Crystal answered
"I'm 18, how old are you?" Rega countered
"Old enough to drink" Crystal joked
Rook and Jake entered the med bay. "See you two have been acquainted, Rega, this is Jake, the marine who was with Crystal" Rook said
"Hi, James" Rega said waving slightly
"Hi," Jake answered returning the wave
"Sorry, about the bandages, according to Rook, I had a concussion…earlier" Rega said becoming dizzy
Rook quickly went to Rega" Rega, you need rest, and you also need to settle down, or I will have to chemically get you to rest" Rook warned
Rega slowed her breathing rate and looked at Rook" You might as well do it, this is as calm as I'll be with the new people arriving" Rook nodded and fed one of Rega's IVs an anesthetic, and soon Rega fell asleep.
Jaila came to pulling on her bonds and grunted hearing Jaina grunt nearby, Jaila cringed as she bumped one of her bruises and stopped struggling with her bonds.
Cretch came out of the ground through the floor of the barracks. Jake immediately pointed his rifle at the hydralisk. "Whoa what the fuck?" he looked to Rook
"Calm down Jake" Rook said walking over to Cretch stroking his head" This is Rega's guardian, given to her from her father, who was an infested marine, and is currently dead" Rook explained.
"Okay?" Jake lowered his gun
"Cmon, we have to go get the friends I was telling you about" Rook said leading Jake out of the barracks. "Go get ammo and anything else you need I'll meet you back here when I finish repairing James" rook said heading to the factory and began working on James fixing his systems and weapons, then the two walked back to the barracks where Jake was waiting. "Let's go" Rook said as they kept going into the jungle, Rook leading the way. They reached the clearing where the spectre camp was seeing no one nearby they walked over to each hut checking them when they reached one with a locked door, when Rook pulled on the handle he could hear muffled grunts. He forced the door open and turned on the lights, seeing both girls struggling with their bonds. He began removing their bonds starting with gags and blindfolds, and then the hands as he heard a commotion outside he came out to see three spectres standing around Jake and Alpha. He stayed quiet and looked back to Jaina and Jaila, who just finished untying themselves" Go get back to camp" Rook ordered as the two sisters did as told sneaking out of the hut and into the jungle toward the camp. Rook came out of his hiding place rifle pointed at Rex, "What are you doing Rex?"
"Just a friendly conversation, Alpha, execute override code: 827-513-894, these two are traitors to the Dominion, you know what to do" Rex said, Rook looked at Alpha, his eyes flickered for a second then turned to Jake.
"Jake run!" Rook yelled knocking Rex to the ground running to Jake shoving the marine to the ground as Alpha punched at him, Rook getting the punch full in the back and was thrown over Jake.
Jake looked between Rook and Alpha and scrambled to his gun and was pinned to the ground under Alpha's leg he could feel as the machine applied pressure on his back and his armor began to dent, but suddenly the pressure was gone and he could turn and saw Rook had knocked Alpha to the ground and helped Jake to his feet they both began running back to the camp. Jake was starting to fall behind as his armor started to shut down. "Shit… Jake, hang on I can repair the suit quick," Rook said as they got behind cover as Rook quickly patched the damage to the suit's generator, and then they went back to running. Rook cried out in pain as he felt several rounds enter his back and fell to the ground; he turned to see Alpha was firing his weapons at them. "Jake, get outta here! Go!" he yelled at him, but Jake shook his head and grabbed Rook by the arm and pulled him into a sitting position behind a tree and picked him up and ran back to camp.
"Target lost returning to CO Rex" Alpha stated as he walked back to the spectre camp.
Jake brought Rook to the med bay after his armor was removed, where Rook was treated for his multiple bullet wounds.
"Oh shit, what the fuck happened?" Crystal asked sitting up on her bed.
"We found a robot, Rook knew him, the spectres used a uhh override code on it and it attacked us, Rook saved me and was hit by gunfire." Jake said
Cretch went over to Rega nudging her as she came to, "Huh, what is it Cretch?" she asked
Cretch hissed in response." What's going on?" Rega asked
Jaina entered the med bay Jaila draped over her shoulder. "Somebody, help she's got major internal bleeding." Some medical personnel took Jaila to one of the beds and began treating her while a couple checked Jaina.
Slyth came into the barracks kneeling next to Jaina" Jaina what happened?"
"I don't know, last I knew I was talking to Jaila then I woke up talking to her in a hut only she was tied and gagged" Jaina said shaking her head
"It's okay Jaina; did they do anything to you?" Slyth asked
"They put this chip in the lower rear of my skull that made me it harder for me to fight off a mental attack" Jaina said showing Slyth the bloodied wound, which by now was bandaged.
"Alpha, I have an assignment for you and the girls to do, there is a ghost and a medic in the traitor camp, I need them alive" Rex said
"Yes, sir" Alpha said as he, Vex, and Xues turned and went to Rook's camp…
To be continued…
