Chapter 5

"Hey where's my laptop?" Gibson was digging in the 'gig' bag in front of him "I have everything but the laptop."

            "Here Gibson catch" Samokin threw the laptop over to Gibson; he looked up just in time to catch it.

            "Whoa, watch it man that's an expensive piece of electronics okay?" Gibson proceeded to hook up a miniature fold able satellite to the laptop "hmm lets see exactly where we are, Tick a there and open that and run that and then the program WHERE THE HELL ARE WE."

            "What are you talking about" Sakura was standing over the new drops, still out cold on the ground, although they had been moved to a more comfortable position they were still sprawled out on the ground.

"Look according to this map we are about 2 miles from where we are supposed to be." Gibson didn't look happy

            "Demon damned, someone is going to pay!" Samokin looked livid at the thought of 2 miles "2 miles is UNACCEPTABLE!"

            "Hey Sakuya why are they so mad?" Sakura looked over at the new drops that were still under.

            "Only because we are so far off from the main drop area that according to protocol we now have to drop our pods, grab these people," She gestured to the still unconscious new drops, "and carry them all of the 2 miles to the drop area."

            "Oh."

            "Hey has anyone besides me noticed how young these 2 look?" Syaoran was poking the boy with his sword sheath, "I mean they can't be any older than maybe 18."

            "Jesus you're right," Gibson was printing a map from his laptop "I wonder why?"

            "Most likely due to the fact that their greatest achievement was at a very young age" Rei answers Gibson.

            "Ahh very true."

            "Hey Gibson I need that map about now." Samokin was standing and looking around the clearing.

            "Uhh Samokin, we got a problem." Sakuya started to float, "I'm sensing some seriously maliced troops heading our way, the problem is I can't pin point them."

            "Demon Da…" Samokin was talking to himself, "hey Noob's can you pinpoint the target?"

            "Well I can't maybe Sakura Can, If I had my Laisen board…" Syaoran faded off.

            Sakura closed her eyes holding out her Rod as a focal point for her magic and slowly looked around with her eyes closed; she didn't really expect to see any thing. But then when she was turned due south she saw something a big blob of purple green and brown energy.

            "Hey I saw something it was like a blob o purple and brown something" Sakura was slightly startled by her vision.

            "Damn it that has to be Troglodytes Fanatics those stupid things only come above ground when it's really important." Samokin rubber his chin

            "Hey Sakura thanks for the bearing, I don't know why I couldn't pin point them but now I got them, they'll be here in about 5 min. I'd Say that that we get ready for the company about now." Sakuya started to focus energy around her body.

            "Samokin Seraphim, what do you say?" Gibson was charging a ball of white energy in left hand.

            "Huh what… Ohh okay yea Seraphim it is, let give the trog's a taste of our ground power." Samokin started to charge a similar ball in his left hand, taking up a stance exactly like Gibson's. "Okay here's the plan, all of us will ready spells, Rei you're going to hammer away with Zonde, but don't over shoot you're self, save enough energy to heal if you have to. Sakuya I want, as much power as possible, and with you feelings on trog's that won't be a problem. Sakura, Sorry but you're not going to fight right now, I know you have a really strong Shield Spell and I want you to use it to keep those two safe." They all knew which 2 he was talking about

            "Okay and next Syaoran, you're going to stand with me and Gibson, two or three spells and rush em! And lastly me and Gibson, we're going to cast a joint Seraphim, Gibson's going to give em one more Ki blast and then rush after me okay… MOVE it Boyos!"

            "Shield!" Sakura and the two new drops were enveloped in a bubble like Shield sealing her off from the rest of the world

            Sakuya didn't say anything she just continued to float about 3 feet off the ground, completely surrounded by Red fire energy.

                                                                        ~|~

            "Huh where am I?" the red head had woken up, and she was still slightly groggy.

            "Oh Hi, can you give us a minute please, we're about to be under attack." Sakura said her voice wasn't even worried, that's probably what startled the new drop

            "WHAT ATACK by who!?" If the red head was groggy before she wasn't now, she stated to try to scramble away from Sakura, only to come into contact with the shield "what's this?"

            "Nothing much just my Shield Card." Sakura turned to the new girl, "hey why don't you do something productive and try to wake up your friend there."

            Surprisingly She did.

            "Okay Samokin there's about 30 or so trog's out there and about 10 or 15 humans out there as well, they have sensed us and are heading right for us." Sakuya's boomed over the clearing, enhanced by all the magic she had drawn to herself.

            "Okay boyos tame to PARTAH!" Samokin actually looked happy at the thought of a fight.

            "Hey Samokin don't you think that's a bit of a large group for just the 5 of us?" Syaoran Asked as he pulled out an ofuda (A/N Spelling Again?)

            "Not really you see they are exceptionally weak, I could probably take them all, actually I'm just about certain of that." Samokin continued to charge his spell

            "Then why all this preparation, wouldn't it be overkill?" Syaoran wasn't worried any more

            "Because, we have 2 new drops and it's our highest protocol to protect new drops." Samokin answered again, he seemed to have a reason for everything.

            "Okay I guess that makes sense, if they die now they most likely go to hell right?" Syaoran didn't get a answer because at that exact moment both Samokin and Gibson slammed their hands into the ground, send a line of erupting ground toward the undergrowth to the south. Syaoran head a loud scream, it didn't seem to phase the Regulars of the 3rd as Samokin drew his Katana from the sheath that he was holding in his right hand, and started to rush the undergrowth. Gibson just started to charge another spell. Then what was left of the group, consisting of maybe 13 trog's and one or two humans. Gibson let another spell loose and ran after Samokin, Drawing 2 tangs while doing so. Syaoran loosed his spell, out of reflex, that's when he got a good look at the Trog's.

            Troglodytes are not pretty. Their bodies are hunched over and bipedal. They have huge mouths filled with rows of razor sharp teeth that they sharpen to make more deadly, their skin color is green with brown, mixing into an ugly mix. They are about 4 feet tall and carry spears making them almost pigmy in their shape. Those have got to be some of the ugliest creature that I have ever seen.

            Sakuya hated troglodytes; they were so ugly that they hurt her eyes. And they hated magic, which mean in some ways they hated her, because so much of her was Magic. Well two can play at the hate game.

            Ohh look enemies Samokin's mind was racing with ideas on how to kill the trogs. Well let's get going here He slashed killing two trogs one… two… he slashed again three… four… five… he slashed once more seven… wait what he blocked it? That just isn't going to fl with me. He added more power to the slash cutting through the spear that had stopped his attack

            Ohh look 2 over there going to try to get to Sakuya and Rei, those ones are all mine. Gibson was heading after the 2 who were off to the side, he managed to get one before the other got torched; Sakuya's hate of Trogs was evident in the attack. Now I go help Samokin.

            A Zonde there and another next okay how bout a Ki blast there and one more Zonde. Rei's Attack powers were Limited, and she knew not to tax herself, and the few attack spells that she had all ready done were taxing her. Well it is not time to wait and use my support spells when needed.

            Sakura was watching the skirmish from the relative safety of her shield spell awe why can't I fight; I would be able to help, if It wasn't for that stupid shield still she knew better than to put the shield because they weren't sure if the new drops were able to defend themselves. Then she heard he girl behind her start to cry, she turned to see her holding the young man to her chest.

            "What's wrong?" Sakura asked

            "He won't wake up" the red head replied she sniffed

            "Hmm I don't know what to do about that really, we'll have to wait till the end of this fight and see if Samokin knows what to do; besides he's breathing right? So he's not dead." Sakura, knelt down next to the red head

            "It's just that he won't wake up and I'm worried." The red head sniffed again, and then started to cry again.

            "Look I can promise that he'll be fine, I've seen the medical area here and it's amazing! But I have to tell you that when the battles over Samokin I going to have to question you okay?" Sakura looked down at the young man; he was probably 20 or so with long black hair. He had 3 scars on his face on his left cheek one over his right eye and one on his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. Despite the scars he was still pretty good looking.

            "I know it's just that he used to be really strong, before he lost his powers, and even after he lost them it took a lot to knock him out like that." She sniffed again and wiped her eyes Sakura put her arms around the red head, noticing that that they were about the same size.

                                                                        ~|~

            Samokin knocked on the shield knowing full well that she could hear him yell. When he finally had her attention he motioned for her to take down the shield.

            "Hey, what wrong with her?" Samokin asked Sakura as she pulled down the shield.

            "Nothing is just that that other one wont wake up" Sakura answered looking over her shoulder.

            "I see, well Gibson has us pin pointed and knows where to go and I got a map, so we'll do the questioning as we march, get the girl up Gibson will carry the other guy." Samokin said more to Gibson than to Sakura.

            "Thanks for volunteering me." Gibson said as he walked over to pick up the still unconscious male.

            They started to pack up, launching their pods and grabbing their gig bags as they started to walk of, with Gibson grumbling in the back.

            "Okay can you get Sakura and the girl please?" Samokin asked Rei from where he was leading the team

            "Sir" and Rei had turned around to get the girl who was currently walking next to Gibson Pestering him with questions about the medical area.

            "Hey we need to o talk to Samokin now." Sakura Said to the red head as Rei walked up, "don't worry about him as long as he is with Gibson he's in about as safe of hand as possible."

            "Samokin sent me to get the new girl." Rei said her voice as usual lacking emotion.

            "Okay we were just about to head up anyways." Sakura Said to Rei then she looked over at the girl, "Time to go get questioned."

            When the 2 were getting close to Samokin, he didn't turn but started to talk as they walked up, startling both Sakura and the new girl. "Okay here's the rules,  ask the questions, you answer, if you don't ask questions. And if you do happen to ask a question, we hurt you or we hurt him." Samokin gestured back to where Gibson was carrying the other new guy.

            "Do you under stand?" Samokin asked

            "Yes" The red head responded

            "What is your name?"

            "Virginia Potter."

            "His name?"

            "Harry Potter"

"Age?"

            "51"

            "His age?"

            "52"

            "Relation to him?"

            "Wife"

            "Occupation?"

            "House wife"

            "His occupation?"

            "Sales man."

            "Magic?"

            "Not any more"

            "Weapon?"

            "Huh what… uhh none"

            "Okay last question. If the left side of you brain controls the right side of your body and the right you left then it can be said that…"

            "Uhh wait… I know this one it's: then only left handed people are in their right mind."

            "Very nice, because you answered that question correctly I'll let answer any questions that you want so if you have any Shoot." Samokin smiled at her correct answer

            "well actually no, you see when I died this I guess it was a goddess came and told me about this world and why I was here, wait I do have one, am I really dead?" Ginny looked up at Samokin

            "Dead as a doornail." Samokin answered coldly

            "Okay well I'm going to go back to that other guy Gibson, okay?" Ginny stopped and waited for Gibson to catch up with her.

            "Hi again, Maybe I should introduce my self." Ginny said as Gibson caught up to her.

            "Don't worry about it Virginia, I heard the interrogation, that's what com links are for." He patted his ear with his free hand.

            "Okay, hey I wonder…" Ginny started to search he robes for something, finally coming out with what looked to be a basic wand.

            "What's that?" Gibson asked

            "Luminos!" She said with Zeal the wand tip light up. She let out a squeal of joy and jumped up in the air, as she landed she hugged Gibson

            "What was that for?" he asked

                                                                        ~|~

            "Look at her she's so happy about lighting up the tip of her wand" Sakuya said to Sakura who was standing next to her. "She must have a screw loose or something."

            "Yes that does seem odd; I wonder why she is so happy about something as simple as creating light." Sakura said as she twirled her rod a bit

            "Well I guess we'll have to ask her than." Sakuya said speeding up to catch up with her.

            "Wait Sakuya, I don't know if she's really ready to explain anything, she seems to be worried over her husband." Sakura grabbed Sakuya's arm.

            "Okay."

                                                                        ~|~

            "Hey there are troops coming in from the north and they are gaining on us." Sakuya Said through her com link

            "Okay we should bee there already, and the all of the mission teams should be able to take what ever they throw at us." Samokin said through his com.

            "Yeah but we've been walking for about 5 miles now and I don't sense any of the rest of the teams." Sakuya Responded

            "Really, well that does change…" Samokin faded off, "wait I got if he Gibson run a map program again, and run trace kill okay?"

            "I'm on it brother."

            "What are you talking about?" Sakura said into her com.

            "I think that they might have messed with our satellite system and we might have a bad map, for now we're just going to have to keep going the way that we were going." Samokin responded

            "Hey bro, I got it we're still about 20 miles north!" Gibson said into his com

            "20 MILES!" the rest of the team said at once Gibson ignored them

            "And we have a full battalion of the enemy's troops getting close every second; it seems to be mostly trogs but that many of them could still kill all of us." Gibson said printing off another map as they all continued to walk, he voice unnaturally calm

            "Can we take flight or will that cause problems." Syaoran finally added in his 2 cents to the com chatter

            "Nah with our gig bags we have too much weight to fly there." Samokin seemed preoccupied.

            "Hmm well lets make a run for it don't you think?" Gibson's idea was shot down

            "I don't think we could all make the full 20 miles before those trogs catch us and I know you can't Gibson, not while you're holding that guy there, what we're going to do is request Rei's Eva be dropped and ask for air support. Then we're going to find a suitable clearing and get ready to fight, all the wile hoping we live." Samokin started to jog hoping to find a clearing.

            "Okay we're with you on that one." Syaoran had spoken up again

            "Thanks now let's all look for a clearing okay?"

                                                                        ~|~

            They found a suitable clearing, it had long grass to hide them while hey were charging their attacks, it was a big clearing too, probably about as big as a foot ball field. Gibson kept running even after Samokin stopped. Ginny stopped with him but Gibson grabbed her wrist as he ran pulling her with him.

            "What are you doing?" She asked as he pulled her towards the other end of the field

            "Ensuring that you live, I hope." He said they had reached the other end already.

            "What I can help I got my powers back, I can help you guys." She said maybe to herself and maybe to Gibson

            "Look you guys just got here if you were to die now, you would almost definitely be sent to hell and we can't let that happen." Gibson said crouching down and setting Harry on the ground.

            "So, they are shipping Reis Eva, what ever that is, and they say that you will have air support." Ginny said

            "Virginia, look, air support won't be here for 30 minutes and Rei's eve won't be here for an additional 15 after that, we have face the facts. Some of the 3rd mission team is going to die." Gibson Said without emotion

            "It's Ginny to my friends," she said quietly, for some reason she felt like she was talking to one of her brothers right now.

            "How well can you defend yourself?" Gibson was looking over at his shoulder he could sense the first if the enemy battalion coming out of the trees

            "Okay they say that they have it under control over there for now, I'm supposed to stay with you." He looked over at her again. "How old are you once more."

            "I'm 51 why?" she asked him

            "Because that makes me old enough to be your father." He said

            She didn't respond

            Gibson looked toward the closest forest thinking. Why did I say that I probably scared the poor girl, but she does feel like family, probably the way that her energy stacks in her body? Gibson drew one of his tangs then another. As if preparing for a battle soon

            *crack*

            "Samokin, we have troops on this side too." Gibson whispered into his com link
