Chapter 12: Victor's Sacrifice:
The guards were startled at the sight of him for a split second, before the aimed their rifles at him. That's when Victor ran off down the hallway dodging several rounds along the way. As the guards began to run pass the squad, though, there was a spray of bullets and the guards went down with a quiet "thump!" The squad slowly began to get up and looked around, and checked the dead bodies Riku got down then picked up two grenades off a dead rebel soldier.
"Where's Victor?" Riku asked Sora.
"I don-, damn," Sora said.
"What is it?" Riku said as he walked to where Sora stood.
Riku then saw that Victor was lying down on the ground, eyes still wide open, and a round right in his head, arm, and six rounds in both legs. Riku just turned away in disgust, as the remainder of the squad gathered around their down comrade, and gave him a moment of silence. Sora slowly did the cross, across his chest, and slowly knelt down, and closed the young boy's eyes.
"He did what he needed to in order for us to complete this mission," Sora said.
"His death won't be in vain, am I right men!" Riku said with enraged eyes to his squad.
"YEAH!" his squad responded with their guns in the air and full of anger themselves.
"THEN LET'S MOVE OUT AND KILL ALL THOSE REBEL, SONS OF BITCHES!" Riku yelled to his squad and his squad listened, and began to march.
"This war sucks the life out of all of us," Sora said with a sad voice, as he stood over Victor's body.
"That's why we have to kill all those Rebel, bastards, here now, and have no mercy for any of them!" Riku said, with an angered voice.
"Yeah, but don't get carried away, k?" Sora told Riku.
"Yeah, don't worry," Riku said back.
Then slowly the squad approached the door to the control room.
Meanwhile back on board the bridge of the flagship.
"Admiral, report to the bridge immediately!" the young ensign yelled into the com.
"What is the matter?" the admiral asked the ensign.
"I don't know sir all know is that we have just lost contact with the U.S.S Venture!" the ensign said.
"What do you mean lost contact?" the admiral.
"I mean, lost sight, communications, signal, everything, the readings for the ship are dead flat!" the ensign said.
"Any ideas to what might have happened to it?" the admiral asked.
"There are two possibilities sir, one is that the ship crashed landed, two is, well the ship and its crew is KIA," the ensign said.
"Well, either way, there is still a ship is down there, call up the squads, it seems that it will be up to them to take the enemy down now," the admiral said.
"Well do, sir," the ensign. Then the control panel of the ensign began to beep.
"What is it?" Justin asked.
"We got 4 unknown contacts, I think the enemy, just sent their reinforcements," The ensign said.
"How long till they get here?" The admiral asked.
"Contact will be in twelve minutes," the ensign said.
"Well, then contact the squad while we still got time, but don't tell them of the problem we have right now, last thing we need is panic to spread through the squads down there," the admiral ordered.
"What of the 4 confederate contacts?" Ensign asked.
"We'll deal with them when they get here, for now get those squads on the horn," Justin ordered.
"Sir, yes sir!" the ensign answered.
