Bonds of Cybertronian Steel: Qatar Part 2

(Qatar - The Middle East)

Currently the only survivors of the attack were all either standing around or sitting on top of an old tank they had found in the desert. Epps showed everyone the picture that he had taken of the thing.

"I've never seen a weapon system like this. The thermal shows this weird aura around the exoskeleton, like it's cloaked around an invisible force field" said Epps.

"That's impossible there is nothing like invisible force field, except in like comic book stuff, right?" asked Donnelly.

"My mama had the gift, you know, she could see things. I got that gene to and I have a feeling that thing that attack us, it isn't over yet," said Fig, who was fingering the cross around his neck

"How about you use that magic voodoo powers and get us the hell out of here, huh?," said Donnelly gripping his gun.

Epps got a strange look on his face, as he passed the camera to Lennox. "When I took that photo, I think it saw me. It looked right at me."

"Well, all I know is that we got to get this picture back to the Pentagon. They got to know what we're dealing with here" said Lennox holding up the camera.

"The radio's fried. I got no communication with aerial," said Epps.

"Mahfouz, how far away is your village?" Lennox asked.

"Not far, just over that mountain" said Mahfouz.

"They got a phone?" Lennox asked.

"Yes"

None of them ever noticed the shifting sand behind them.


All the soldiers were relieved when they finally spotted the water tower poles in the distance. Epps ran forward to the well, pouring water over his head.

"Let's hope this telephone line works." Lennox said, he then noticed a movement out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly the water tower fell over, sending up a cloud of dust.

"What the heck was that," said Donnelly, looking at Fig.

Fig replied in Spanish, "English, dude English." said Donnelly. Everyone started to look around.

Suddenly Epps yelled "Whoa."

As a tail with a wicked dagger was pointed toward Lennox's back, Lennox jumped back and they all started to shoot at the thing. The thing disappeared. We all started to look around, waiting for the thing to show itself again.

"Whoa, mother… what the hell is." Epps yelled, as it showed it self again. This time jumped up behind Donnelly stabbing him all in the same motion then flinging him back and forth. That's when they saw what the shape the creature was in; it was the shape of a giant scorpion.

They all began to run towards Mahfouz village. Mahfouz running hand in hand Lennox,

"WHERE'S YOUR PAPA?" Lennox screamed at Mahfouz, keeping a firm grip on my gun while as we ran through the town. "WHERE'S YOUR PAPA?"

Mahfouz led Lennox to a house, with a man inside.

"Papa!"

"Do you have a cell phone?" Lennox asked him as soothingly possible.

"What?"

"A-a-a telephone!" Lennox tried again. "Telephone!"

"Oh! Telephone!" He ran over to a desk and came back. "Cell phone!"

"Yeah alright! Mahfouz, stay with your papa!" Lennox ran back to the battle while dialling the Pentagon number.

"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY PENTAGON CALL! REPEAT, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY PENTAGON!" Lennox shouted as a blast shattered a window near by.

"Do you have a credit card?" A very bored International Operator on the other end said.

"NO, I DON'T HAVE A CREDIT CARD!"

"Sir, the attitude is not going to speed things up any. Bit. At all." He replied. "I'm going to ask you to speak into the mouthpiece very clearly."

"I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR!" Lennox yelled, getting very pissed off. "THIS IS FREAKING RIDICULOUS!"

Lennox figured it was useless to argue with this idiot, so he made his way over to Epps, where he was shooting like crazy.

"EPPS! WHERE'S YOUR WALLET?" Lennox yelled at him.

"POCKET!"

"WHICH POCKET?"

"MY BACK POCKET!"

"YOU'VE GOT TEN BACK POCKETS!" Lennox shouted, feeling all of them, trying to find his wallet.

"LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK! LEFT CHEEK!" he shouted, then resumed shooting.

Lennox finally found his wallet and got out the first credit card he found.

"Alright, alright!" Lennox read off the numbers as clearly as he could while in the middle of a war zone.

"Also, sir, have you heard about our premium plus world service gold packet?" The International Operator asked.

"NO, I DON'T WANT A PREMIUM PACKET!" Lennox screamed. Thankfully, the pentagon finally got on and he tossed the phone to Epps.

Lennox then started shooting at the scorpion-thing. It had really thick armour, if the bullets pinging off its armour like flies were anything to go by.

"I ain't never seen this in my life! Need gun ships on station ASAP!" Epps Yelled in to the phone.

"Unknown, man. If I don't… Man, if you seen this shit." Epps said waiting for a reply.

"Seven-man team north of orange smoke!" Epps yelled trowing the smoke grandee.

"Attack direction west! You're clear hot." He yelled.

"Lennox, the heat coming!" He yelled at his friend.

"Laser the target! We got beam-rider incoming, lase the target!" yelled Lennox as he advanced forward he was pointing his own laser at the robot, showing the jets where to hit.

A group of F-22's began to swoop down, firing on the scorpion robot, before pulling up circling around, not leaving until there was a confirmed kill.

The squad only saw a few missiles hit the thing, before a great cloud of smoke, and dust hid it from view. They all could hear it shrieks, but they soon died away. As the smoke cleared, they saw the thing on its back, very much alive as it struggled to flip itself over.

"No friggin' way that thing's still not down" whispered Lennox as it got back on its feet looking very pissed.

"Spooky three two, use 105 shells. Bring the rain." Epps said just as pissed as his friend.

The F-22's again pounded the monster with shots. Again they had to wait for the smoke to clear for them to tell if it was it, when it did disperse, they could see it was wounded. It turned tail and disappeared under the sand, a piece of its tail falling off.

Lennox was making sure everyone was present and accounted for. Epps, himself, 4 other guys that where with them the only one missing was...

Fig

"Where' Fig?" Lennox shouted, running through the battlefield. Then, they spotted him, lying on the ground behind a statue. He had a whole bunch of cuts on his head. Apparently, a pillar behind him was hit by one of the scorpion's rockets and the debris caught Fig by surprise.

"Oh, God. Fig..." Epps said.

"Get a medic." Lennox yelled.

They carefully transferred Fig onto a stretcher so that when a medic did arrive, we could just move him right away.

And when a helicopter did arrive, we loaded up Fig, then the chopper made its way to the nearest hospital.

We moved the tail from the scorpion-thing onto one of the carrier planes.

Lennox went back to the town to say goodbye to Mahfouz and return the phone his Papa let us borrow.

And with that, we were finally on our way to the Continental U.S.

They were finally going home.
