Author Note: Man, I never expected the readers to keep reviewing after each chapter. But what the heck? My writing has been some what inspired by things I do, music, lot video games, and other things. So it's noticeable in my story. And onward we shall go.
Chapter 11
"Sir, the palace is being overrun as we speak," a vulpine said with pride that he had been carrying out his orders successfully.
"Yes, very well, prepare my drop-ship and ready my body guards, I want to see how the battle is going on," the old wolf said. His pet hovered about, clicking its sharp mandibles, slightly scaring the fox. "Come now, we shall make haste."
The battle in the palace was going in favor of the invading forces. They had made a successful blitzkrieg on the palace. With more drop-ships inbound and more ground forces coming, the guards and spec ops soldiers were wavering and their morale dropping.
"Hold your positions, we mustn't lose the senators' quarters!" a captain called out. He and his men had made a makeshift barricade and were protecting the senator's quarters from capture. The enemy had brought abundant amount of battle droids and soldiers. "I said hold it!"
The small group held up as their captain vulpine held off the enemy. He was dual wielding his carbine along with a small but very powerful sub-machine pistol. An enemy soldier tried to sneak behind him but meet the butt of his rifle. The fox jumped on top of the fallen soldier and pointed his SMG at point blank range and let out two shots. But soon, more appeared and even the captain had to fall back.
As he and his men feel back, the enemy brought in two Ram Heart tanks. The Ram Hearts looked similar to the older version of the Land Master, but had a large rotating box-like turret and much larger. Unlike the blue and grey color, it was black and green. There was no plasma engine, so it couldn't hover like the standard issue. The main gun was still a standard charge shot cannon, but for this occasion, it was a gatling gun with 3 tri barrels built for anti-infantry.
The two tanks slowly approached the barricade as not to run over their own. They soon continuously sprayed the remaining guards who took cover.
"Dang, did we at least get the senators out of here?" the captain asked one of the nearby spec ops soldiers.
"Yeah, every last one of them, they've been sent to a shelter," the soldier replied, keeping his eyes on the barricade. He took his SMG and put it out and blindly fired it to cause some damage.
"Sir, we're going to be annihilated if we stay!" a guard yelled out. The feline panicked that they might torture them if captured. "What are we going to do?"
"We're going to stay here and fight to the bitter end!" the captain barked, he reloaded his weapons and signaled a soldier with a rare Demon launcher on his shoulder. He crouched up and the barrel faced above the cover and fired.
"Did we get 'em?" he asked as the smoke subsided. He was knocked downed dead as gatling gun fire peppered the body. The Ram Heart tanks were still there, the armor was even durable enough to take a Demon shot. Now the enemy force was slowly advancing forward with no hope to stop them.
"Men, it' been an honor to have you under my command. I suggest all of you retreat," the captain sighed. He looked upon his fallen comrades and took a deep breath. He reached in under his chest armor and pulled out a small revolver. "I have too much knowledge to be captured." He pointed it at the side of his skull. All of them protested, yelling they would rather die with him, even the cowardly grunts protested.
But just as he readied the cock, a large explosion went off. He pulled away the gun and looked over the barricade. Where one of the enemy tanks stood, was Land Master on top of a pile of black twisted metal. The Land Master's rail gun pointed at point blank range, as it charged up its beam shot. The Ram Heart's gatling guns had no effect as it tried to return fire but was blown to smithereens. It soon redirected its attention on the infantry and ripped them apart by either blowing them away or simply running them over. As it was done, the hatch opened and Fox's head appeared.
"You owe me," he simply said with a big grin. He closed the hatch and the tank hovered off.
"That little son of…" the captain said. The men's morale boosted greatly after seeing what happened. The captain gave out his orders and the rest moved out.
If I was Krystal, which I really wouldn't want be, were would I be? The palace, no, the military base, no. Damn it. Wait, I got it, the hot springs! The place where we first met. Fox had finally figured out where Krystal might be. He got the tank to on top of one of the nearby skyscrapers. He also let out few shots on those who shot at him. Stupid idiots, blocking my path with Ram Hearts and APCs Just have to jump them. He he, literally.
The Land Master boosted up high thanks to it plasma engines and smashed one of the Ram Hearts. With the antipersonnel machine gun, he stunned one of the APCs and proceeded by jumping on them and taking them out at point blank range with the rail gun. Though, he had to stop smashing them, "hull integrity at 75," the computer said.
"Yes, the border walls, good thing no ones coming out or following me," Fox said to himself. The tank hovered above the wall and drove through the forest. He arrived at one of the hot springs, the first time he met Krystal and had his ass kicked by her. "Computer, scan the area for life." "Bio signature detected." An infrared screen popped up and showed a red and yellowish figure curled up in a blue and purple surrounding. From the looks of it, it was in a cave.
He jumped out of the hatch with no weapons, trusting it might be Krystal. Fox swam across the spring into the cave and found her. Krystal was curled up, wide awake, with her long robe like cape for blanket.
"Leave me alone you sick bastard," she said. Turning away from him.
"Krystal please, I never meant to hurt you."
"Really?" she said sarcastically, obviously she wasn't using her PSI powers.
"Please, I'm really sorry."
"Just go away."
"Why does it matter? I'm just a mercenary; I have nothing to do with you! It's not like I'm in a relationship with you!"
"I had feelings for you," Krystal jumped up to face him. She was shedding tears and her big emerald eyes piercing. "Fox, I've been thinking about you a lot. I know I just met you, but something came over me." Fox went silent; he was almost shocked by what she told him.
"I never thought of it that way," he said. He broke eye contact with her. He stepped back, looking away. Until he felt two paws wrap around him.
"Please tell me you feel the same for me?" Krystal said, breaking into more tears. Her muzzle was pressed against his cheek, "Please Fox?"
To Be Continued… Oh how dramatic.
