Chapter 6: War always changes (W)
'How will this war end.' I thought to myself as the helicopter went through the clouds like it was nothing, that battle with Christina, and Lucy was tiring, we didn't expect an ambush. The mission turned out to be a failure, due to the increasing of the alien threat, so i'd expect a nuclear missile strike. The whole time Ruby was silent, no surprise there. She was probably thinking about the nefarious duo, in her world she knew them as her friends, not what i expected.
It wasn't long before we could see the helicarrier from the distance. The helicarrier looked exactly like the one in the movies (actually it was the same thing, because we stole it). The copter landed on the pad, with one of the soldiers coming to us.
"Tango team, you're needed at the command center." he said.
Great, the commander is probably there, not who i wanted to see. The rest of us followed the soldier, he looked like he didn't want to see the commander either. Once we got to there, he was in one of the most ridiculous costumes ever. A lady costume.
"Hello boys, you are so in trouble right now." he said in a fake lady voice.
Yep, and I thought Ruby was crazy.
"Evening commander." Hesh said, trying to be all calm with this. "sorry about the mission in omnicor-"
"quit dude, i know what you did back there." he said. the commander Nikolai is a complete idiot, sometimes. "and for that, you're grounded."
I slapped him on the cheek.
"Focus man!" i shouted. that should do the trick. he rubbed his cheek.
"Sorry about that". he said, "Welcome to Ghost H.Q. , miss Ruby."
he held out his hand to shake, ruby did so.
"Glad to be here sir." she said to him. if he askes about where she came from, i'll answer for him, but he said "Hesh, give Ruby a tour around the place, and show her the new quarters".
Hesh unwittingly said "yes sir." And he led Ruby out of the room.
Which left me with the commander, "come on." we walked out of here, and in the hallway.
"Sir, if it's about Ruby." i said to him, "then i have no idea what she-"
"it's not about Ruby, it's about the war." he said. not again…
"but we had this discussion before."
"and now we have a new problem, The Alien threat has emerged from the sky, and they are hitting us down, with only one thing on it's mind, and that's Extinction."
"But isn't that what all aliens want?" i asked.
The commander said "of course, and this one is really mad for it." We heard rumors about an alien strike coming to end the world, except that we were in a war, and were to busy to listen to such nonsense. I never thought that it was true, i guess we should've listen to the news station.
"if we don't do anything, they'll kill us all." The commander said.
"but what of the Federation?"
"They wouldn't last long either, not with all the hardware they have." the commander was usually this focused, but sometimes he acts like a child. he said "and the big problem is that they could figure out our weaknesses." That part was a bit predictable, i said, "but we don't have any weakne-"
He put up his hand, he always interrupts me these days. "the best thing to do is to launch a nuclear missle at their base."
"But that could kill many civilians."
"That's what i thought you say, so we're looking for an alternative, that is if we had an alternative."
That is hard for us, because everytime we have one, it usually backfires, and causes severe injuries.
"But of course, we need information on these alien creatures right now." he said, putting his hands into the pockets of his lady overcoat, and sighed. We had to take action somehow, and now's not the time. If Ruby's talking to Hesh about this problem, then she'll know what could happen. "we'll sceduele a meeting tomorrow, be prepared."
I was in the classified military room several mintues later, looking for files on any alien sightings for the past millennia, So far, a few of them only showed sightings of an UFO, The bombing of and for no reason, a group of the notorious hackers dead in the town square.
after a while of searching, i founded my prize, located in the top cabinet. I took a very close look at it, all it showed was very great things here, And a new question came up. 'Why did the aliens come back after the invasion on earth.'
" Hey Carol, what are you looking there for, get out here." one of the soldiers said.
"Sorry, be right there."
