The troopers
Chapter 2: Day one.
Disclaimer: I NO OWN!
Ryoga: Sir, we got company and I'm not talking welcoming committee company.
Ranma grabs his helmet and weapon and follows Ryoga up some stairs and to a wall Ranma stands beside Darien and Ryoga and looks out to see a shit load of enemy all armed.
Ranma: Tells the medics to expect casualties, and tell Asuka to set up the mortars and tell Heero set up the machine guns.
Ryoga: Sir.
Ranma: We're in really deep shit.
Ryoga runs off to tell Asuka and Heero, pretty soon Asuka sets up the mortars and Heero sets up the machine guns. Treize stands on a hill looking at his troops he pulls out a radio and orders an attack. Soon bullets are whizzing past Ranma's and the others heads. Darien's body falls backwards to reveal that he's been shot in the head.
Ranma: FIRE THOSE MORTARS AND GIVE THEM HELL!
The people on the mortars start to fire them as Ranma levels his gun and starts firing back, soon everyone is firing their weapons except the medics who are taking the wounded to the infirmary.
Trieze: Call the men back.
Kuno: But sir…
Trieze: I said call the men back.
Kuno: Yes sir.
Kuno grabs a radio operator and tells him to radio all the men to tell them to pull back, Ranma watches as the enemy retreats.
Ranma: CEASEFIRE!
Everyone stops firing; Ranma turns round and sees Darien's body been taken away by the medics as Ryoga walks beside him.
Ryoga: Casualty count is thirteen wounded one dead, Serena's not going to like this.
Ranma: I know.
Nightfall
Everyone sits round a campfire inside the fort Ranma sits by himself with his rifle by his side.
Asuka: Hey sergeant major, what's the Lieutenants story?
Ryoga: It was either an arranged marriage or join up.
Asuka: So he joined up instead?
Ryoga: Yeah, so what's your story?
Asuka: I joined up with Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari, they became pilots and I became a grunt (1).
Heero: I joined out of my own free will.
Ryoga: I've known the lieutenant before the war started.
Guard: HERE THEY COME AGAIN!
Everyone runs up to their positions and waits for orders.
Ranma: Ryoga, spread the word repetition.
Ryoga: Sir.
Ryoga runs off to tell the rest of the men, Ranma switches the change lever to R and opens fire killing the nearest enemy soldier, soon 81 inch mortars are raining down on the enemy.
Ranma: Sergeant major, get the radio op and call in an air strike.
Ryoga: Sir.
Ryoga grabs the radio op.
Ryoga: Duo, get on that radio and call in an air strike.
Duo: Yes sergeant major.
Duo grabs the radio and calls in an air strike soon fighter planes armed with rockets appear and launch them at the enemy. Body parts scatter the ground as the enemy retreats, the drop ship appears and touches down inside, Shinji walks out of the drop ship.
Shinji: Lieutenant, we've got supplies and ammunition.
Ranma: Thanks.
Asuka: Hey Shinji.
Shinji turns round to see Asuka wearing a combat green uniform and helmet with her rifle slung across her back, Asuka looks at Shinji wearing a grey pilots jump suit with a shoulder holster and pistol.
Rei: Shinji, we got to get moving now.
Shinji: Okay Rei.
Shinji runs back onto the drop ship, it takes off and Ranma goes back to his position.
Ranma: Okay everyone get some rest, tomorrows gonna be a long day.
