CHAPTER 11 Stadium Siege
Disclaimer I don't own the Teen Titans
Alter passing by the "suite" Beast Boy was sitting on the stands
"I remember the last time I was here" He thought "It was a month ago. When we where invited to a baseball match, I don't' recall how it ended, but what I recall is the fireworks show that was in honour of us the Titans, they where magnificent, almost like in the 4th of July, but all that now seems it was in another life"
Then he looked up to the top of the stands, where one of the policeman who was watching the area, but suddenly he was hit with a ray-gun
"Hey, we are under attack!" Beast Boy screamed
"Battle stations and keep calm" ordered the Major, then asked "Anyone saw form where they are attacking and how many of them?"
Someone managed to take a look without being hit and responded "They are a couple of hundred three blocks away with the ray-gun"
The Major quickly observer a map whit his officers and said "It must be in this corner, precisely three hundred and forty-two meters away, we are going to attack with mortars and howitzers"
"Yes, Sir" an officer responded
A few orders later and the mortars opened fire; it was easy to hit the target at such close distance
"Now the howitzers, we have to destroy the ray-gun"
"Perfect aiming, the rat-gun was destroyed" on the soldiers said
And something unexpected happened
"Hey look, the snowfall stopped" Jinx said
Everyone looked at the sky and saw that the clouds have disappeared and the sun was shining, it was midday more precisely
They started to cheer ad this and even some ones tried to take of their suits, but an order form the Corporal cam "Keep your suits on, we don't know if the snowflakes are still dangerous"
The order was understood, but the soldiers keep the optimism
"Major" an officer approached to him "I could establish a communication with NORAD"
"Ok, now I handle this, give me the radio microphone" and the soldier handed it
"I m Major Roger Harris in charge of the resistance here reporting, who is there. over"
"Major this is General Rage from NORAD, thankfully is someone still alive on the other side of the Rockies, what is your situation now, over"
"Now we have a base stabl-"But a high interference interrupted the transition
"Dam it" the Major said
"Major, a soldier said
"What", he responded angrily
"The snowfall has started again"
In fact all this was just a proof of the invaders power, this time they attacked with a new gun, one of the cigar-shaped starships that landed in the downtown was heading slowly to the stadium
The Major was already giving orders "Prepare the MANPADS (Man-portable air-defence systems) and the machineguns, quick take positions on the stands"
"The ship is less than five hundred meters now" the Corporal informed
"Roger, fire as fast as you can, it must be shoot down before it can reach the stadium, FIRE!" said the Major
"Look the ship is been hit" Jinx said
"Yeah, but it seems that isn't too much damaged" Raven added
And then the ship fired his ray-gun, killing many of the soldiers in the stands
"A ray-gun, take cover" Stan ordered
In a desperate measure, the troops on the filed started to fire at the ship with their rifles, but from the opposite stand a MANPADS crew made the decisive shot, then the starship crashed against the west-side stand and making to collapse it
"Major, we have a bugs counter-attack, they come staring to where the ship crashed" informed the Corporal Wilson
Then added "They want to recover it, prepare the mortars"
"Ready for the defence, Lieutenant Lewis?
He didn't have time to answer, because he was already on the field organizing the troops, while the mortars open fire, killing many of the bugs, but a big number of then managed to get near the starship
In a few moments the battle turned into a massacre, all the bugs where killed, the victory was complete.
"Ok guys time to inspect this thing" said Stan
When they approached to the ship. It started to burn, but not with a common fire this was a strange way of combustion, without a flame and with high heat, but they could just watch as this happened
The Major spoke "Since we can't do anything with the ship and one of the stands of the stadium has collapsed we have to reinforce security in this area, so I want two tanks and a platoon of soldiers here to cover the place"
Yes sir" the corporal responded
The stadium was safe again, for now
