Peach Creek invasion
Number 23, Virginia Sims, was on a cruiser on route to Peach Creek, followed closely by a small fleet of modified Scampers and Jailer transports. These ships were given major refitting, and now carried hundreds of Mosouittoh and Doh-Doh ships armed and ready to go.
"How long until we reach destination?" Virginia asked.
A Teen Ninja, Brandon Jefferson, answered her question. "Six minutes, we'll be there in no time. Are you sure this is right?"
"What do you mean? You were there in the chambers, you didn't say a word."
"I know but-"
Virginia placed a finger on his mouth, silencing him. "You know as well as I do what will happen if we disobey Rachel." She then went back to the window, in time to see incoming missiles.
From the ground, Urban Ranger second-in-command Brenda Griffin watched the missiles bounce off the ships harmlessly. They had received word that KND was to launch an assualt on Peach Creek, the main base of the Urban Rangers. Thinking quickly, they had set up high walls with mounted turrets, evacuated the civilian population , and had emergency escape transports if things got bad.
"This can not be happening," Brenda said. Grabbing her binoculars, she could see the ships landing. Their ramps opening, Hippy-Hop rabbit mechs and Doh-Doh scout ships flooded out of the larger cruisers, followed closely by waves of troops.
Yelling a battle cry, Brenda drew her rail gun, and began shooting down the mechs. Her own troops butted heads with those of the KND, throwing punches or shooting at them. Urban Rangers wearing powered suits took on the Teen Ninja, and quickly dispatched them. Determined to find the commander, Brenda took a speeder bike, and plowed through KND troopers.
From the safety of the moonbase, Chad could see the battle via telescreen. Tommy was standing next to him, staring at the screen.
"Rachel started her attack?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah," Chad answered. "And at this rate, we might win."
"I just hope Brenda will last long enough to escape."
Looking at the screen, Chad hoped so too. Just another reason for Rachel to be taken down.
Firing electro-magnetic bullets at incoming fighters, Brenda searched the field. It was complete carnage, bodies lay in lonely graves, wrecks of mechs were everywhere, and smoke seemed to cover the entire town. Then, far to the east, she could see some kind of fortress with the KND flag.
"Worth checking out," Brenda said to herself. Getting back on her bike, she drove off, mowing down troopers as she went.
Rolf squeezed the trigger, and downed a squad of elite Teen Ninja. His forces were tiring, and KND was gaining the upper ground. Before long, Peach Creek will be over run. Grabbing the radio from his belt, Rolf made an announcement.
"Urban Rangers," Rolf began. "We have fought long and hard to protect Peach Creek. But we're out numbered and out gunned. All personnel are to evacuate in the shuttles. Rolf repeats, all personnel are to evacuate in the shuttles." Rolf placed the radio back on his belt, and fled the battlefield.
Listening to Rolf's message, the Urban Ranger army began to fall back. Brenda, still on the speeder bike, began to go in the other direction. Troops and technicians filled up the transports, but the ships managed to take off. Brenda got off her bike, and jumped onto Rolf's shuttle.
"You okay?" Rolf asked.
"I'm fine," Brenda said. "But the commander…"
"Forget the commander." Rolf grabbed Brenda's shoulders, and shook her. "Don't you see? We're outnumbered."
"But we still have a chance."
"A chance to get killed? A chance to be Rachel's slave? Rolf is sorry, but he can't risk the safety of his army."
"I understand."
Rolf looked at his lieutenant, defeat in her eyes. "Rolf will tell you what, show him where this commander is."
Virginia watched the shuttles escape Peach Creek. She tried to have them shot down, but they seem to be using an advanced shield generator. Nothing, not even a Hippy-Hop, can take them down. All she can do now is inform Rachel of Peach Creek's destruction. Just as she was about to make that call, a shuttle blew apart the wall, and flew inside.
"What the fuck!" Virginia exclaimed. Seeing squads coming to assist her, she grabbed a trooper's grenade launcher, and fired. The grenade hit it's mark, but didn't do much damage.
The gunship fired a volley of bullets, killing everyone except Virginia. Rolf jumped off of the ship, and in front of Virginia.
"Oh crap." Virginia dropped her launcher, and made a run for it. Rolf was much quicker than her, so she didn't make it far. He grabbed her, and slung her over his shoulder. "Let me go!"
"Rolf can not make that request," Rolf said. Grabbing a rope ladder, he climbed up, and set Virginia into a small cell in the shuttle. "That will hold you, at least until we get back to base."
"Base? But we destroyed your base!"
"Ah, but you destroyed the old base. Rolf has anticipated this attack, and has set up a new command center."
The shuttle flew off in the sunset, it's destination a mystery.
