Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Omega Squad. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Mortal Combat, Midway Games, NetherRealm Studies and a few others do.

(Earth, South America.)

Reaper dodged a round from Erron as he elbowed his wrist up and then stabbed him in the shoulder. He was punched and staggered back.

"You shouldn't have done that." Erron stated, he tossed the knife at Reaper and caught it before he rushed him with the thrusters on the suit.

"I think I should have if your hurt by a minor stab like that, cowboy." Reaper taunted before he leapt into the air and landed a roundhouse kick before Erron shot him in the chest.

The armor deflected the bullet, but it hurt a lot, Reaper grunted in pain.

"I think we're equal now…" Reaper said, he spun and slashed at Erron who went to shoot him again.

(With Cass and Omega)

Cassie continued to take down Black Dragon after Black Dragon, she reloaded and shot 2 more… They had taken down more then 20 Black Dragons, if Kano and the others didn't know they were here, they were going deaf.

"I think we need to fall back!" Cass heard, she turned to see Erron get sent flying by an uppercut from Reaper. He slid down the hill, Reaper took the chance to fly over and shoot down a Black Dragon behind her.

"They're falling back… He's tougher than he looks, those bullets alone might not get through my armor, but the way he's shooting me is worse than any armor piercing round." Reaper said. He looked at the Dragons who were falling back and realized they were holding off Omega so the others could escape.

"They were stalling." Cass said, Reaper nodded and sighed before he looked at the others.

"I can chase them down; the suit is faster than any VTOL craft they have." Reaper suggested, Cass sighed and shook her head, they wouldn't be able to catch up and fight them as a unit.

"We're done, pack it in… Reaper, see if there's anything down in the camp still showing us where they went." Cassie ordered before Reaper slid down the hill.

"We killed over 20 Black Dragon thugs, no sign of Kano or the others. I think we should tell General Blade what happened." Jacqui suggested as she walked over. Cass turned to give them orders before she turned and looked at Reaper.

"I'm going to talk to her, go and comb through the area… Communications, ammo… Anything we can look through, we aren't done yet." Cassie stated before she turned and looked over the thugs laying on the ground.

"So… That's Reaper, huh?" Takeda asked, Reaper smiled and looked at the bottom of the hill.

(With Reaper)

Reaper picked through the tents in the jungle, he stepped over empty bottles, spent brass…

"Kano couldn't have taken everything important, he's still a scumbag under all that muscle and cybernetics." Reaper muttered before he looked through a tent.

He heard paper crumpling under his armored boots, he bent down to look and then he saw a paper. He bent down to look at it and then grabbed it.

He looked it over, shipping records from weapons selling, they had a manifest. He put a finger to the helmet.

"Cass, I got a manifest, they were shipping weapons from this camp. You want me to keep looking?" Reaper asked, he turned the paper over and copied the information to his helmet before he turned and looked the paper over.

"Bring it here, I'm talking to mom right now." Cass ordered, Reaper cleared his throat and then spoke.

"I'm coming now, I'll be there in a minute, we have new orders?" Reaper asked as he activated the thrusters on his armor and then flew into the air before he flew out of the tent and up onto the hill before he landed on the tree above Cass.

"We have new orders, Commander?" Reaper asked, Cassie said nothing and then she continued speaking over the radio.

"I know, General. Lieutenant Reaper is returning with the manifest now, we're send you a copy on the way back to base." Cassie stated and then turned to look at Reaper.

"We're going home?" Reaper asked, Cassie nodded before Reaper handed the paper to Cassie.

"I think we're not going to find anything else here." Reaper said, Cassie crossed her arms and sighed.

They had failed at their mission.

Author Note

Phew, another chapter done! Yes, I know it's a short chapter, next chapter will be longer. I also want to point out that next chapter will show more of Cassie and Reaper/Seth bonding more. Next chapter will be in 2 weeks and show Reaper and Seth talking at the base. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
