"Khilirihk." Krystal said in curiosity. The vixen was standing next to Harrion, holding her hands behind her back as she listened to Wolf.
"Correct," Wolf responded, "They'll be going after that outpost with at least a full two divisions," Wolf spoke to Krystal and Col. Harrion on the bridge of the Valkyrie, explaining the information he stole from the Venomians. He now wore a camouflaged military outfit, symbolizing his new assistance to the Cornerians. He pointed to a few locations on the hologram board in front of them. "They're also going after Lerushk, and Hinaril with a few divisions as well, but Khilirihk is seeing the largest attack from Veras."
"The incoming fighting is in Khilirihk," Krystal said, "Is this Khilirihk's lines interesting with him?"
"The bases at Khilirihk, Hinaril and Lerushk are important military outposts," Harrion stated, "They're the back bone supporting our expedition against Veras... We can't afford them to fall."
"Is there anything else there?" Krystal asked.
"Not any big projects, if that's what your wondering," Harrion responded, "Just supply and arms bases."
"Either way," Wolf said, "That's where Veras is going."
"What about an exact time?" Harrion asked to Wolf.
"I didn't get that part, but it was supposed to be at some point, later today."
"Damn... Well, I'll send what I can down there... I want you both in a gunship. You're going to that outpost... Defend whatever you can."
"Yes, sir." Krystal said. Wolf also gave a nod and walked out of the bridge. Krystal attempted to follow him, but suddenly heard Harrion speak to her, causing the vixen to give the officer her full attention.
"You know, that Wolf's a wild card," Harrion stated, "I don't want him causing us any grief."
"It's fine, sir," Krystal replied, "I'll handle him and his men."
"...You're a terrific soldier, Krystal," Harrion stated with a smile, "...I see great potential for you, here in the Corps... It looks as though the upcoming battle will be particularly brutal, so you come back safe now, you hear."
"...Right, sir." Krystal said with a warm and reassuring smile, before walking out of the bridge's exit and following Wolf to the hangar to board the gunship.
The base at Khilirihk had been busy strengthening up their defences, ever since the news arrived about the oncoming attack. Krystal arrived at the base, where she had met the young German Shepherd in charge of the defence. Cpt. Chris Hiris, the young, yet experienced Cornerian soldier in marine uniform and holding a Mark 6 assault rifle, had been busy to strengthen up his base and defend it from any assault.
Once they arrived on the base in their gunship, Wolf had gone out to scout the area, while Krystal stayed to hear Hiris' defence strategy. They had heard nothing from Wolf so far, who was making his way back to the base. Krystal stood inside the the command building, looking at the outline of the base on a table as Hiris walked in.
"You still haven't heard from Wolf." Hiris asked the vixen.
"...No," Krystal replied, getting concerned "I haven't."
"We don't know where these bastards will be coming from," Hiris said, walking up to the table, "Or when they're coming... I'm not sure that we may be able to hold."
Krystal looked at Hiris. He was only a few years older than her, and despite how much experience he had in the field, he was still young... still nervous. The vixen placed a hand on Hiris' shoulder, making him turn his head to her. "I'm sure we'll hold them." Krystal said with a reassuring smile. Honestly, she was very scared, unknowing of the incoming threat, but she held on to her faith... That's all she had right now.
Krystal then heard a noise from outside, the noise of an approaching ship. Krystal looked out the window and saw Wolf's ship arrive, so she turned to Hiris to alert him of Wolf's presence.
"Wolf is here." Krystal said, as she saw Wolf's ship starting to land. Hiris put on his helmet, grabbed his rifle and followed Krystal outside. Krystal and Hiris stood before the ship as it landed, with Wolf jumping off it once it was just a few feet off the ground. Once he saw Krystal, Wolf walked over to her.
"I found a few small concentrations to the East," Wolf spoke, "Supplied with armour."
"That doesn't sound so bad," Hiris spoke, "We can take em'." Wolf was curious to the man standing before him, whom he had never met.
"Who's he?" Wolf asked.
"This is Chris Hiris," Krystal said to Wolf, "He'll help in this skirmish."
"You're in command?" Wolf asked Hiris.
"That's right." The young soldier replied.
"...Oh boy," Wolf said as he walked towards the command building. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed by the young age of the man in charge of the defence. Krystal watched Wolf walk up to the entrance of the command bunker.
"Come on," Krystal said to Hiris, "Let's get inside." Krystal and Hiris followed Wolf into the command building.
"Why didn't you contact us?" Hiris asked Wolf as he followed him.
"We got interference in our communications," Wolf responded, "We couldn't make a good broadcast."
"Well, I briefed Krystal about the whole situation." Hiris spoke once they were inside with Wolf.
"Knowing Veras, those small concentrations look more like a diversion," Wolf spoke, "I think he has another force coming from another direction."
"Did you see it?" Hiris asked.
"No, but it's something to consider... I don't know which direction that would take place."
"Well I did get some read out of it... They have full divisions, tanks, artillery... It's all being lead by this man," Hiris spoke and showed them a photo of a large muscular grizzly bear in Venomian officer uniform, "Rilkey Grizz... Veras' second in command."
"You think you can take him, youngster?" Wolf asked sarcastically.
"When he gets here... yeah." Hiris responded.
Suddenly a plasma shell rang out and hit the ground near the command building. Startled, Krystal rushed outside and saw enemy plasma shots raining down on the base around them, being fired from distant Venomian artillery. Wolf rushed outside with Krystal and Hiris.
"Oh shit!" Wolf shouted as he and Hiris rushed back inside. Krystal saw them come out and holding their rifles, Wolf also held Krystal's rifle and tossed it to the vixen. Now holding their assault rifles, Krystal, Wolf and Hiris moved down a path. As Cornerian soldiers rushed all over the place, frantically attempting to get to their positions, Krystal saw a Venomian artillery piece fire at them.
"Incoming!" Krystal stated as the plasma shell came down near Wolf.
"Shit!" Wolf exclaimed as the shell went off near him. He continued down a trench line with Krystal and Hiris until they reached another bunker. Hiris took position near the bunker's exit, peering out the door to see hordes of Venomian troops coming at the base from the South end.
"Shit," Hiris exclaimed, "The bastards are beginning their assault!"
"Bastards are coming from the South." Wolf stated as he stood next to Hiris.
"Looks like you were right," Hiris stated as several Cornerian soldiers joined them in the bunker, "...Okay then, let's tear em' up! Move out!"
"Move it, Krystal!" Wolf ordered to the vixen, and she followed Wolf and Hiris out of the bunker and down a trench, followed by the Cornerians in the bunker. Krystal saw a Venomian soldier jump into the trench, where he was met by a Cornerian soldier and they struggled fiercely over the Cornerian's rifle. Finally, however, the Cornerian kneed the Venomian in the stomach and then hit his enemy in the face with the stock of his rifle before stabbing him with his bayonet and then rushing off to another position. Krystal went further down the trench and saw a couple of Cornerian soldiers firing on the Venomian soldiers in the field in front of them. The several Cornerian soldiers from the bunker joined them by lining down the trench and firing their rifles at the Venomians in a blaze of laser fire.
The vicious fighting went on, with Cornerian soldiers firing their rifles at the Venomians in intense laser fire that cut down numerous Venomians. After taking a position in the trench, Krystal fired her rifle at the Venomians and shot down numerous soldiers in a hail of laser rifle. Krystal shot down seven more Venomians as Wolf and Hiris also took positions in the trench and fired their rifles, both gunning down several Venomians. Hiris fired his rifle and shot down six Venomians soldiers while Wolf shot down another five. The Cornerians shot down several more Venomians, but some return fire gunned down a couple Cornerians as well. Krystal fired her rifle and shot down six enemies while Wolf shot down another two. The Venomians kept up the attack, however, as a few more Cornerians were shot down.
"Shit," Wolf said, "We're being overrun!"
The Cornerians shot down several more enemies, followed by Krystal gunning down another two. Hiris shot down five more enemies and looked around, seeing the assault continuing to grow, but also seeing an area down the trench needing help.
"We don't have time for this," Hiris stated, "We gotta get down the trench! All of you men, move it!"
Krystal, Wolf, Hiris and the remaining Cornerians then moved down the trench, firing their rifles at the Venomians on the field before them. Krystal noticed a couple Venomians on top of a small bunker firing down on their enemies below. Krystal aimed her rifle and shot down the Venomian soldiers on the bunker, but suddenly, a Venomian soldier rushed her and seized hold of her rifle. Krystal struggled fiercely with the Venomian over the rifle and then Krystal deflected the Venomian's hands away from her rifle before seizing hold of his wrist. Krystal then hit him with her right fist, sending him back, but then he charged again with a knife. Krystal blocked the knife with a her rifle and then she hit him again with her left fist, but he knocked her down with his shoulder. The Venomian raised his knife, just before Wolf came in and shot him just before rushing in and stabbing the enemy with his bayonet, sending him down. Wolf walked over to Krystal and helped her back and handed her rifle back to her and they continued down the trench with Hiris. They came to a point in the trench, where they saw a couple of Cornerian soldiers taking positions behind some crates and firing their rifles at some Venomian soldiers moving into the trench.
"God damn bastards are getting in the trench," Wolf stated, "Clear em' out!"
Krystal fired her rifle at the numerous Venomian soldiers in the trench, cutting them all down with a hail of laser fire. Wolf fired his rifle and shot down a few Venomians on the ground above the trench. On the ground above the trench, Cornerian soldiers took positions behind objects that littered the ground and fired their rifles at the Venomians before them. In the vicious fighting, the Cornerians fired their rifles and shot down numerous Venomians, though several Cornerians were gunned down as well. Krystal shot down a few Venomians firing into the trench while Hiris gunned down several Venomians on the grounds above.
A Venomian came into the trench and attempted to charge at Krystal, but Wolf tackled the Venomian, pinned him and then Wolf started beating the Venomian. Wolf punched the pinned Venomian hard about seven times until he knocked him out and then got up and moved down the trench. Krystal shot down a couple more Venomians and saw several other enemies coming in the trench from her left. However, a Cornerian soldier with a flamethrower came in and sprayed them with fire, incinerating the Venomian squad. Krystal felt a little uncomfortable seeing the enemy soldiers burning, but she shook it off once Wolf spoke to her.
"Krystal, get going!" Wolf stated. The vixen followed Hiris and Wolf down the trench. She looked to her right and saw a Cornerian repeatedly hitting a Venomian on the ground with the stock of his rifle and then she continued down the trench, seeing Wolf and Hiris down the trench, firing their rifles at Venomians before them. A Cornerian tank came in and fired at Venomian forces, destroying an enemy tank. Krystal moved down the trench and hid behind a crate and Wolf and Hiris kept firing their rifles and gunning down numerous Venomians. Several other Cornerian soldiers came in and fired their rifles at the Venomians as well, fighting alongside Wolf and Hiris. Krystal looked down at a hill and saw Venomians swarming over it towards the Cornerians' lines. Krystal fired her rifle at the Venomians on the hill, cutting numerous enemies down. Krystal kept firing her rifle at the Venomians as the vicious fighting raged on, firing a hail of laser fire. After fighting in the fierce skirmish, Krystal saw the Cornerian tank aim and fire at the hill, destroying the remaining enemies there.
"Shit," Wolf said, "They're everywhere!"
Hiris saw a defensive position suffering a massive attack. "That position is under fire," Hiris stated, "We need to help!"
Krystal, Wolf and Hiris moved down the trench to the defensive line, being followed by several Cornerian soldiers. The defensive position consisted of a line in the front containing soldiers and behind them, a couple of pill boxes. the Several Cornerians that followed joined the numerous Cornerian soldiers that lined the front defensive line, firing their rifles at the Venomians, cutting them down in a hail of laser fire as the vicious fighting went on. The pill boxes behind them blasted the Venomians with machine gun fire and rockets. As the fierce battle raged, the Cornerian soldiers in the line kept firing their rifles at the Venomians in fierce fighting, cutting numerous enemies down. The intense skirmish flared on as laser fire blazed at the Venomians and the Cornerians in the line kept fighting and firing their rifles, cutting down numerous Venomians. Still, the battle went on as the Venomians kept up their assault.
Entering the vicious battle, Krystal kept firing her rifle, hitting numerous soldiers as Wolf and Hiris fired some covering laser fire and shot several others down. Cornerian soldiers in the defensive lines kept firing hails of laser fire that hit more enemies before them while other Cornerian soldiers gave covering fire from positions behind. Krystal fired some laser at the enemy soldiers as she ran into the trench line. The line of Cornerian soldiers kept firing hails of laser fire at the Venomians, with Krystal giving covering fire. Another enemy charged in towards the vixen, until Krystal hit him with her fist, knocking the soldier down and then Krystal kept firing laser fire at the enemies before her while. The vixen and the Cornerian soldiers kept fighting in the fierce skirmish, holding back the enemy waves in vicious fighting.
Rushing into the defensive position, Krystal fired her rifle and shot down numerous enemy soldiers as Wolf and Hiris fired some laser shots and gunned down numerous others. The vicious fighting went on as Venomian forces pressed on and blazed some more rifle fire, pinning a few Cornerians down. However, the Cornerians blazed some laser fire back and shot down more Venomians. Krystal fired some shots and hit several Venomians and then she aimed and shot a few more. Wolf blasted several other enemy soldiers while Hiris gunned down a few more with laser fire. The Cornerians fired some more laser fire and blasted several other enemies down and then pinned several others down with laser fire. Krystal and Hiris fired their rifles and shot down numerous soldiers as Wolf blasted several more with laser fire.
While Krystal fired some more laser and shot down several more enemy soldiers, Cornerian soldiers moved in and blazed some laser fire and pinned several other enemies down, hitting a few as well. Wolf took position near a pill box and fired his rifle at the Venomians, gunning down several enemies. "Krystal," Wolf shouted, "Kill all these bastards!"
Following Wolf's orders, the vixen took position in the line. Krystal then fired her rifle and shot down six enemies. Krystal kept firing her rifle in the vicious fighting, cutting down numerous enemies with a hail of laser fire. Hiris fired his rifle from the line and shot down five Venomians as Wolf shot down another seven. Still, the Venomians kept up the attack with more soldiers coming in to storm the Cornerians' line. The Cornerians fired their rifles and shot down numerous Venomian soldiers, but laser bolts fired back and shot down several Cornerian soldiers as well. The Cornerians kept firing hails of laser fire at the Venomians as they kept up the attack, gunning several more down. Krystal fired her rifle and shot several more Venomians while Hiris fired his rifle and shot down another six. A few more Cornerians were hit, but several more came in to reinforce them, firing their rifles at the Venomians and cutting more down.
The vicious battle kept raging up in a hail fiery laser fire. The Cornerians kept fighting fiercely, firing their rifles at the Venomians as they cut them down in intense gun fire. Wolf shot down another five enemies and dodged a few incoming laser bolts. Krystal kept fighting in the fierce battle firing her rifle and cutting down six enemies and then, at her right, Krystal fired her rifle and shot down five more Venomians in the vicious skirmish. Krystal kept firing her rifle in the vicious fighting as two Venomian tanks rolled in and fired at the defensive line, destroying a large bunker as Wolf shot a few enemies down.
"Shit!" Wolf shouted, "Enemy tanks!"
"Krystal, get up here!" Hiris ordered. Krystal fired her rifle and shot down two more Venomians and then she ran over to Hiris and Wolf, taking cover behind a bunker filled with supplies and ammunition. Krystal and Wolf fired some laser shots and hit several more enemies as Hiris then shot down a few more.
"There's rocket launchers in the pill boxes," Hiris stated, "You both cover me as I get to it."
"Right," Krystal said, "I'll help give covering fire."
Krystal and Wolf rushed over near the pill box, firing hails of laser fire at the Venomians before them before taking cover behind some crates and firing some laser bolts down on the Venomians and giving Hiris the cover he needed. Hiris rushed over inside the the bunker and fired his rifle at the Venomians from the window. As Krystal and Wolf kept firing their rifles at the Venomian soldiers, cutting down numerous enemies in the fierce fighting, Hiris picked up a rocket launcher and aimed it out the window. Once he got a lock on one of the tanks, he fired, destroying one of the tanks and turning it to a burning pile of steel. Hiris attempted to get another rocket, but found nothing.
"Shit!" Hiris exclaimed.
"What the Hell's going on?!" Wolf demanded.
"I don't have any more rockets!" Hiris responded.
"Shit!" Wolf shouted, firing his rifle and gunning down several more soldiers in frustration as he was still positioned behind the crates. Krystal fired her rifle and shot down seven Venomian soldiers in the intense skirmish. As Krystal shot down several more enemies, she saw the remaining enemy tank starting to aim at them. However, suddenly and luckily, the Cornerian tank came in and blasted at it, bursting the enemy tank to smouldering pieces. Several more cornerians came in and reinforced the area and the Venomian attack on the defence started dwindling.
"That's it," Hiris stated, "Let's move on to the next area."
Krystal fired her rifle at the Venomians, cutting several more down as the fighting raged on and then she followed after Wolf and Hiris into a bunker top of a large hill. Upon entering the bunker, Krystal saw through the window down the hill below the Venomian soldiers were attempting to move up, but several Cornerian soldiers at the top of the hill were raining fire down on them. Krystal fired her rifle through the bunker window and shot down several Venomians while Wolf also gunned down a few enemies. Hiris looked down the hill, remembering the analysis of the base as he saw a defensive line and a bunker just below it to the right.
"We got so remote activated inflammatory mines buried down there," Hiris stated, "The detonators are in that bunker just below that defensive line... We get to it, we can slow down their advance."
"That's good enough," Wolf stated before shouting to the other soldiers, "Get moving, down the hill!" Krystal followed after Wolf and the Cornerian soldiers as they rushed down the hill to the defensive line. The numerous Cornerian soldiers lined the defensive line and fired their rifles at the Venomians before them, causing some vicious fighting to erupt. As the Cornerian soldiers kept firing their rifles and gunning down numerous Venomians, Krystal reach a position on the line and fired some laser bolts of her own at the Venomians. Krystal kept firing her rifle at the Venomians, cutting down seven enemies in vicious fighting. Wolf also shot down several enemies while Hiris gunned down several more. A few Cornerians were hit, but the Cornerians kept fighting, firing their rifles and cutting down numerous Venomians. Krystal kept firing her rifle at the enemies in the fierce skirmish, just as an enemy rushed up to her with a bayonet. Krystal deflected the bayonet with her rifle and then she hit the Venomian with her right fist, sending him down the hill. The Venomian got up and charged the line again, but Hiris shot him down. Krystal fired her rifle and shot down six more enemies while Wolf shot a few more Venomians before rushing to the the bunker with the detonators.
"Krystal," Wolf shouted, "Cover me!"
"Right." Krystal responded.
Krystal moved down the hill and took cover behind some crates next to the bunker. Krystal fired her rifle at the Venomian soldiers, pinning them down in a hail of laser fire while Wolf rushed inside the bunker, picking up a detonator. As Krystal kept firing her rifle at enemy forces continuing to rush at the line, an indication arose that Wolf had found the detonator, as the mines went off and blasted Venomian soldiers away, as well as creating a line of fire that kept any other enemies away.
"We're done here," Hiris spoke, "Come on, we need to get to the South lines!"
Krystal, Wolf and Hiris moved down the hill, being followed by Cornerian soldiers. They moved down a path that lead to some trees, where they spotted Venomian soldiers starting to come through. Krystal fired her rifle and shot down several Venomian soldiers while Wolf aimed and gunned down a few enemies as well and then moved out of the trees along with Hiris. Cornerian soldiers behind them fired their guns at the Venomians on the field as they moved down the path and then they reached the bottom of a hill. Krystal, Wolf, Hiris and the other Cornerian soldiers took cover behind some objects at the bottom of the hill, as Venomian forces on top of the hill were raining machine gun fire down on them.
"The damned Southern lines are are just up there," Hiris stated, "This hill leads right to em'!"
"We have to go straight up?" Wolf asked, "Right towards those nests on the top?"
"That's right." Hiris answered.
"Well, isn't that just swell." Wolf said sarcastically.
"We can use the trees for cover," Hiris stated, pointing to the trees positioned on the slope of the hill, "Men, up the hill! Move!" With that, Krystal followed Hiris and Wolf as they started rushing up the hill, with Venomian gunfire from the top raining down on them. The Cornerian soldiers rushed up the hill with them, taking cover behind the trees. A few Cornerian soldiers were shot down by the Venomian gunfire as they tried to get up the hill, but other Cornerian soldiers fired their rifles and shot down several Venomians on the top of the hill as they struggled to climb. Taking cover behind a tree, Krystal fired her rifle and shot down several enemies. The vixen dodged a incoming lasers and then she aimed and fired, gunning down several more enemies as well. Wolf threw a grenade that landed in a Venomian foxhole, the blast sending the occupiers flying and then Wolf fired his rifle and shot down a few enemies. The Cornerians kept pushing up the hill, taking cover behind tree to tree and firing their at the enemies above them. Krystal moved up the hill with them and took cover behind a few trees. She kept firing her rifle at the enemies above them, gunning several enemies down.
Krystal finally reached the top, hiding behind a tree and then she fired her rifle at the Venomians just in front of her, pinning them down. The Cornerians had lost several more soldiers to get up the hill, but the clawed up and reached the top. As the Cornerian riflemen pinned down the defenses on the top with laser fire, under their cover, a Cornerian flamethrower moved up. Once he got into position, the Cornerian ignited a spray of fire at the enemies on the hill, setting several Venomians on fire. Other Cornerians came up and shot down several other Venomian soldiers as the positions got neutralized, and the few remaining enemies attempted to step further back on the top of the hill and hold off the Cornerians
The Cornerians charged at the Venomians and engaged them in hand to hand combat. A Cornerian soldier knocked down a Venomian with the stock of his rifle while another Cornerian stabbed his enemy with his bayonet. Hiris punched down a Venomian soldier while another Cornerian knocked down a Venomian and stabbed him with his bayonet. Krystal aimed her rifle and, with careful concentration, shot down a far off enemy attempting to fire on the Cornerians on the hill. Krystal looked over and saw Wolf knock down an enemy with his rifle and then shoot him down. Another Venomian rushed at Wolf from behind with a bayonet, but with a quick turn, Wolf spun and whacked the enemy down with his rifle and then stabbed him with his bayonet. Krystal got back up and followed Wolf and Hiris through a base on the top of the hill.
"Lombardi should be here shortly with air cover." Hiris stated.
"Well, that bird is finally useful for something." Wolf said.
Upon exiting the base and entering the South lines, they saw pure chaos. There were defensive lines filled with Cornerians soldiers firing rifles and machine guns at hordes of Venomian soldiers in vicious fighting and, behind them, were bunkers and supply storage buildings. Laser fire rained all over the place as burst of fire danced around the defensive line, setting everything ablaze. Corrnerian soldiers kept fighting fiercely, firing their rifles and cutting down numerous Venomian soldiers as the fierce battle went on.
Far off, Hiris spotted enemy tanks coming in to support the Venomian advance, along with spotting a bunker. "I can spot targets for artillery from that bunker," Hiris stated, "We can use em' to take out those tanks... Cover me as I get to it!"
With that, Krystal ran into the battle, firing her rifle at incoming Venomian forces and then she took cover behind a sandbag lined position at the front defensive line. Wolf took cover behind some crates and then he fired his rifle, gunning down several enemies. Krystal kept firing her rifle, cutting down numerous enemies and giving Hiris the cover he needed to rush towards the bunker. Krystal and Wolf kept fighting in the vicious skirmish as Hiris got inside the bunker and went to the window, shouting at Krystal and Wolf.
"Krystal, Wolf," Hiris spoke, "Get over here!"
Following the young Captain's order, Krystal and Wolf rushed over to the bunker. The vixen fired her rifle and pinned down incoming Venomian soldiers to cover Wolf as he made his way inside the bunker, then she followed him inside the bunker as well. They all looked out the window as Hiris walked up to them.
"Wolf, you spot targets for me," Hiris said as he handed him some binoculars. Wolf took them and went over to the window and Hiris picked up a sniper rifle and handed it to Krystal, "Krystal, I need you to cover us."
Obeying, Krystal took the rifle and then aimed it out the window. Wolf looked through the binoculars and started spotting the enemy tanks while Hiris called artillery strikes on them. As this went on, Krystal fired her sniper rifle and shot down numerous incoming soldiers with careful aim. As Krystal shot down several more soldiers, she also saw artillery fire rain down and destroy a few of the enemy tanks. Krystal kept firing her sniper rifle and gunning down incoming enemy soldiers as Wolf and Hiris called in another artillery strike. Shortly afterwards, another two more enemy tanks were hammered with artillery shells. The power of enemy forces were starting to dwindle, but they kept up their attack on the lines, so Krystal kept firing her rifle at them, cutting several more down.
As the Cornerians kept fighting in the vicious battle, suddenly, several Cornerian fighters appeared, being lead by a rather significant looking Arwing... Falco's Arwing... He had arrived. Falco and the Cornerian fighters dived in and strafed the Venomians, blasting the enemy troops and vehicles with hails of laser. The Venomians found themselves scorched, and that lead to them retreating from the area, running off into the distance. Wolf ran out of the bunker and looked at the field in front of him.
"Run, you bastards," Wolf shouted to the fleeing enemies, "Run back to Venom!"
Hiris stood next to Wolf as Krystal walked over to Falco's Arwing as it landed on the ground near her. Once it landed, the cockpit opened up and Falco jumped out. Seeing Krystal, Falco walked over to the vixen.
"Hey, Krystal." Falco said, shaking Krystal's hand, "I knew you'd make it out of there in one piece."
"This is getting very intense." Krystal said.
"I saw ya' snipe those bastards from up there," Falco said to the vixen, "You got some serious skills, Krys."
"Well, It seems like I'm in still a single piece." Krystal stated.
"That's good," Falco said, "It's great to see ya', Krystal."
Wolf walked up to the two, a bit annoyed, "Oh enough," Wolf spoke sardonically, "Just get a room already, will you?" Wolf walked off as Krystal and Falco watched him leave.
"He give ya' much trouble?" Falco asked.
"I handled him." Krystal said with a smile. Falco wrapped his arm around the vixen's shoulders and then he and Krystal walked off together, being followed by Hiris as they walked back to Harrion's ship, Valkyrie.
