CHAPTER 10: Into the stadium
Disclaimer I don't own the Teen Titans
"Excuse me Corporal, but why the Stadium?" Stan asked
"Well", He explained "The Major said that the stadium was the best choice because we need to establish a new base. Furthermore the concrete structure will protect us form the ray-gun used by the bugs, besides will be plenty of space for the trucks with the supplies"
Now they where a few blocks away form the stadium and the Major spiked to Stan
"Your orders are to follow the tanks into the stadium and give support against any enemy"
"Give support?" he thought ironically, why he doesn't says the truth, something like "Go to see if anything kills you"
"Do you think that the bugs already occupied the stadium, Raven?
"Still we don't know enough to try to anticipate what they might do, will know, when we arrive" Raven responded
They where only a block away of the stadium
"No bugs on sight" a soldier commented
"Keep your eyes opened"
"Hey look over there" the Sergeant Wellman said as he pointed to the top the stadium
"Fire!" Stan ordered
The bugs didn't have time to react in less than one minute, they were killed, and one of them was killed by Tony the journalist
"See, I told you that I could use a gun" he said
"You better keep up like this" Stan responded, and added "Ok time to go inside people"
What was inside the stadium was a mystery of them, in fact the big concrete structure of the stadium looked like a giant monster, waiting for the soldier to be close enough to catch them. Meanwhile the tanks looked for the vehicle entrance and the soldiers followed, the tank directly entered into the field, and in that moment they where surrounded by bugs
"Lieutenant, over there"
"They came form the right"
"Fire, keep together" Stan ordered
In the middle of the fight a bug throw Beast Boy to the floor, and when he was trying to grab his gun, the bug jumped to attack him, but kicked him while saying "Get off me". Two more bugs came closer to him, with they claws on the air, ready to attack him "This is it" he tough, and waited for the fatal blow, but it never came, he saw how the claws where ripped of by the bullets of Raven an Jinx gun's
She helped him to get up and said "Now we are on hand" and helped him to get up
"Thanks" he only managed to say
"Any news form the tank?" Stan asked
"It entered to the stadium, in the middle of the fight I heard the cannon, but nothing else" Jinx answered
"Well all of you know the orders, reload your guns and time to go inside" Stan said "I don't like the silence of the tank" added in a low voice
When they entered in the field, they saw that the tank was surrounded by bugs, Instantly Stan screamed "Fire! Don't let anyone to escape"
Since the bugs where concentrated in the tanks, they didn't have any trouble to kill them
From inside the tank, a voice came "Hey, hey hold your fire, we are still alive here", and then the tank driver came out by the turret hatch and continue "They came all over us, we couldn't shoot them, and luckily you came just in time"
As he talked everyone stared at the huge, empty stands, looking for any sing of a bug, but nothing was moving in the stands
"It seems that the stadium is under our control, thanks to the fact that the bugs didn't have ray-gun here, and they concentrated on the tank" Stan said
"I will inform that to the Major" the Sergeant Wellman said, and departure to inform the situation
Shortly after trucks, tanks and the rest of the troops entered in the field. Stan was called by the Corporal Wilson
"Come, Lieutenant, The Major has ordered that the ones who fight on the last combat will be the first ones to use the "suit" truck where you can relax of little and eat" The truck was specially prepared in the back part, so anyone who entered could take off the suit to eat, drink and even wash up
"So go ahead Lieutenant, the "suit" is all yours"
In the small, not covered with snow, space of the truck Stan found food, water and space to move without the suit, but this was a short pleasure, he have to leave the place for the others. When he come out, he saw how the base was established
"The Major worked fast, this place is already established to repel any attack, the Machineguns, the mortars, even the howitzers are in position" then he saw Raven and Beast Boy waiting for enter in the truck "We even have two of the Titans fighting with us, that's really incredible" then he looked at Tony who was writing on his notepad "And there is Tony, who seems more interested in write about this than fight but he has proved in combat after all, like the rest of the soldiers, maybe there is hope after all" thought optimistically
