Chapter 5 -Surprise!
Mangrae was a maian guard. He was positioned on the starship "Watcher", which kept an eye on the planet earth, and was hidden behind the moon. Nothing unusual usually happened on the Watcher, so Mangrae had taken a liking to human TV. He'd got one on a reconnaissance mission, and although it was a portable, it was good enough. Tonight, Mangrae was in the hanger, seeing if any alien ships might land. It was very unlikely that they would, so Mangrae had taken his TV with him. Unfortunately Mangrae had found the game the humans called "football", very amusing. Tonight was the big match, Manchester United against Leeds, and Mangrae was watching it.
SLICE!
Mangraes life ended abruptly as Deaths mauler spilt his insides all over the floor. The stupid maian hadn't seen or heard the Skedar ship landing in the hanger behind him, or Death slowly creeping up to him. To Death, a maian alone was bad enough, but a stupid maian deserved an extra gruesome death. The others quickly secured the hanger, then gathered around Krijy.
"Heres the plan", said Krijy. "Bill and Syric will find the communicator and kill the maians there. Budge and Death will find the security room and turn the security off. Sultry and I will go to the bridge and capture the captain for further interrogation. Any objections? Good, and don't stop until all maians are dead!"
There were five doors leading out of the hanger. Bill and Syric took the one on the far left, and found themselves in a long hallway. They ran along it and killed a maian. At the end was a set of doors. There were living quarters behind them, and several maians here and there. So far they'd met no real opposition. They turned a corner and went through a door. It was a big hanger with the engines in. Lots of maians were walking around carrying Callistoes. When Bill and Syric walked in the maians all saw them, and started firing at them. Bill ran to the right and killed a maian, hiding behind a crate. Syric ran and hid in a corner, and began sniping the maians.
"There's just to many", cried Syric to Bill, "We can`t stand out much longer!"
Bill jumped into the middle of the room, and sliced two maians with his mauler. Suddenly a Callisto bullet hit him and he dropped his gun. Three maians jumped on him and held him down. Syric tried to shoot the maians off Bill, but they had shields. He ran for cover and hid behind a crate.
"Surrender, or we will kill your friend!", said one of the maians.
Syric saw no other way out of this situation. If he kept on fighting he would lose and Bill would die. He'd just have to wait and hope that the others came to his rescue. Slowly he stood up.
"Good", said the maian, "Someone call security."
"Captain! Security isn't answering?"
Meanwhile, Budge and Death were heading towards the security room. They were baffled; since out of all the rooms they had looked in they had found no maians. Where were they all? They went down another passageway past several empty rooms. Then they heard it. It sounded like someone speaking a strange language. They tracked the source of the sound, and found a door. The sound became louder and it sounded like cheering. Budge and Death prepared their maulers outside, opened the door and jumped in.
About thirty maians had their backs to them and were watching a slightly bigger version of what Mangrae was watching.
"Football", whispered Budge. Death threw a grenade at the maians, killing them out. Budge ran over to the security screens, just in time to see the fight between Bill, Syric and the maians.
At the same time, Krijy and Sultry were making their way to the bridge. It wasn't hard to find since the maians liked to have their bridges close to their hangers. They ran down a few corridors and killed a few maians, until they came to the bridge. They ran in expecting a big fight, but it was empty. The bridge looked neglected, as if it hadn't been used for weeks. Sultry ran over to a screen and searched the cameras of the ship, to see what the others were doing. Budge and Death had captured the security room, but Bill and Syric, were being held captive! Krijy and Sultry ran to the engine room to save them.
"How many are you?" demanded the captain as he interrogated Bill and Syric.
"Just us two", said Bill, his bullet wound was hurting allot.
"LIARS", screamed the captain. "Skedar never go in twos, even I know that. Where are your friends?"
"We're not sure", said Syric.
"LIARS", screamed the captain again. "I will not tolerate such behaviour. Kill them!"
Suddenly the door opened and the rest of the Skedar ran in. Syric quickly knocked out the captain and the other maians lost faith. They died as Krijy and Sultry picked them off one by one.
Later, when all was calm and the ship was secured, Krijy was planning the next part of the mission. He would search the planet called Earth, for the control base that had control of the satellites that could search the surface. He would then invade and find the weapon he was looking for. What Krijy didn't know though, was that the Humans weren't that easy to fool, after all.
