A/N: Hello people and once again, a new chapter is here. Before we start, did you all notice my update on my profile? That's right, I'm removing my older fanfictions to make some space for my new persona story (although, you guys are all not fan of persona series but some of you did in few years ago) and this story is near completion. I want to add new shippers in the shipper war but season 2 is going to end anytime soon and like I said, I'm going to end this story with a happy or a sad ending (depends on the relationship between Star and Marco). Also, Guest Sorta, I didn't pair up with anything after I seen your reply back there, I only create a fictional story of your character since I don't know about yours. And also, I will use your nickname "Izzy" in the future stories.
Looks like I have nothing to say for now, enjoy this chapter with happiness and we will see after this.
Chapter 6: Mission in the Mysterious Mist
After the SVTFOE episode "Heinous", Starco Shipper Army launched an attack on 9 Mackie-controlled islands and 6 islands have been taken, while the rest are currently battling the arriving Mackie Shipper Forces who have been sent by the leaders of the MSF.
Then another episodes "All Belts are off" and "Collateral Damage" have given the newest Starco Fans hope that the SSA and SSC would win the war and believing that Starco will be canon in the series, decides to sign up either the SSA or SSC to increase their foothold against the MSF.
Despite their joining, the latest episode "Just Friends" has giving the MSF strength and courage to push though the battlefield and took their seven islands back, leaving the SSA two left. Also, the new recruits from their homeland decided to join the battle against the SSA and the SSC and took 4 Starco-controlled islands in the north side of Starco Island.
Believing they would strike again like the last time, the SSC orders the remaining Starco-controlled islands in lockdown, including the Starco North, South, East, and West Islands. However, much to their surprise, The MSF Navy haven't appeared yet. In fact, all of the MSF didn't attack any of the Starco-controlled islands, despite the Mackie Fans popularity in the latest episode.
Shortly after the lockdown, there are rumors that a large battleship spotted at the mist on Far East in Starco Island. Suspicious, the SSC sent some patrols in the east but after that, they never heard from again and lost contact soon after.
They wanted to send more SSA troops but with the lockdown and lack of training of the newest recruits, the SSC decided to leave it be until they control back of this situation.
Meanwhile, Guest Sorta was walking and reading a romantic book in the purple-colored hallway when she hears screaming. "WTF Star! I thought you're smarter than that!"
"Sounds familiar…" thought Guest Sorta as she went to the room that was screaming there. She found MiguelHazard screaming to the TV.
He then proceed to shake the TV screen violently. "Why you leave Marco in the dark huh?! You should just tell your feelings to him!" He suddenly lifts the TV before slamming it to the ground. He then whipped out his baseball bat out of nowhere and smashing it until it was a pile of metal.
MiguelHazard breathes in and out, not noticing Guest Sorta until he saw her standing near the doorway, surprised.
He hides his baseball bat behind his back and waves at her. "Hi Guest Sorta, what are you doing there? Should you be training in the yard today?"
She smiled. "I already finished my training this early so there's no need for more. Anyway, what are you screaming about?"
MiguelHazard sighed and looked at Guest Sorta sadly. "Well….did you watch the latest episode of Star vs The Forces of Evil Season's 2 episode 'Just Friends'?"
"Oh yeah, I was excited at first but then…oh." Then she realized his problem now. "I see, you got upset because Star hasn't make a move on Marco yet?"
"Yeah! I can't believe this either! She should just tell her or something that can make her better. I just want…." He starts to cry as tears in his eyes flowing down like a fountain. She shows a sad face to her leader, she could cry as well but it's been one day earlier after the release and decides to face it.
She touched MiguelHazard's shoulder but didn't react to it as she said. "Hey MiguelHazard…"
He cries again, not hearing Guest Sorta's words. "Umm….MiguelHazard…" Once again, he cries. Now this makes Guest Sorta annoyed by this and wants it to stop.
"MiguelHazard CAN YOU STOP THIS NOW?!" Guest Sorta shouted, making MiguelHazard stop crying.
She looks at MiguelHazard. "Look, I know that every Starco fandom has been hurt and insulted by the latest episode but we can't give up right now. We need a leader who is respectful and have a great leadership to never give up." Guest Sorta then smiles. "Isn't that right MiguelHazard?"
MiguelHazard wipes his tears from his face, now he realized he almost become like those Starco Fans who cried for Starco and stands up with determination. "You're right." He said. "I'm not a cry baby, I am a leader of the SSA and as a leader, and I will never stop giving up Starco until the end of shipper wars."
Guest Sorta nodded. "Of course, we need to calm down and focus. Otherwise, those MSF jerks are going to win this war for sure!"
"Heh, I guess you're right." He stands up from the floor. "Since were both here, let's meet up with Redblood and Richard in the conference room at the top of the Starco HQ."
"Sure, I got nothing better to do."
Then they go out at MiguelHazard's room and head to the main hall where the elevator heading above is located. As they walk through the hallway, he can feel his heart pumping out a little.
"Why I felt is somethings is going down?"
At the top of Starco HQ, conference room. MiguelHazard and Guest Sorta enter the room, only to find Redblood and Richard are sitting in the table; Redblood is sitting at the right side while Guest Sorta is sitting at the end of the table.
MiguelHazard and Guest Sorta goes to their respectful seats as the latter sits beside Redblood and Guest Sorta sits at the left side of the table. Once seated, Richard asked them. "MiguelHazard, Redblood and Guest Sorta, do you all know what situation we are in now?"
They all nodded (Except Richard), knowing that he knows about the 'episode' he is referring for.
"Good, because I got a mission to your all."
They all rose their eyebrows in confusion as Guest Sorta spoke. "What kind of mission president?"
"Alright I'll tell you." Richard coughed before continuing. "Since the rumors of a large battleships headed towards the abandoned island, we sent the SSA patrols to investigate but they never come back after they went to the mist."
"Is there any mist in any island?" asked Redblood.
"Sometimes, but this island is so special to any shippers that we never touched it, despite we need that island for the Starco's name. The island is called the No-Name Island, no men, women or even creatures lives there since the creation of the Shipper War." He explained.
"But why the people or should I say Starco Fans assumed that they see a large battleship in the coast east of here?" Guest Sorta asked as Richard nod in understanding.
"That's the point. I don't know who that is but if it's a new shipper here like we met in these past weeks, we should investigate that island now."
"What if the Mackie Shipper Forces then sir? What then?" MiguelHazard asked.
"If the Mackie Shipper Forces, then we need to find out their next more against us and stop them…as always." Richard said. MiguelHazard spoke. "What's the plan here?"
Richard smiled at him. "The first is the three of you will go to the No-Name Island, we can't risk any more helicopters sending there. But once you get there and find whatever the MSF is planning, you three will find another way out of the island. Got that?"
"Yes Sir!' Then MiguelHazard, Redblood, and Guest Sorta saluted Richard who saluted them back before putting their hands down.
"Goodluck on your mission you three, Dismissed." Richard said before dismissing them out of his room. He sighed as he stares at his large window. He remember the "Just Friends" episode in Star vs The Forces of Evil was released to the public and cause mass confusion and anger, even in the end of the episode.
Like Redblood, he too has a crush on his best friend; Rachel. Rachel is sometimes annoying and a pain in the butt but as the time goes on, he understands her pain that losing someone in her whole life just disappears into thin air.
After they went high school together, she stops being annoying and unknowingly joins me in her adventures: like they steal back their principal's prized possession, which is stolen by the bullies. In Christmas Day, we danced together at the frozen park and fell over each other. When he look at her beautiful silver eyes, his heart starts to go pumping at her lovely sights.
He shook his mind off at that memory, after what happened to that day, he would never forget what Rachel did and promised himself that if he cross paths with her again, he would find what happened to them in the last 2 years.
Before he could go back to his seat to think, his answering machine suddenly rings and Richard clicks the 'answer' button.
"Yes, what is it?" asked Richard.
"President, our Starco Fisherman said they found a survivor in the MSF attack. We put her in the Starco Medical Hospital in the Starco City but she doesn't want to speak to us."
He put his hand in his head in headache, he has more problems than this but as the president of the SSC, and he can't ignore his people and must aid them whenever is necessary.
After thinking what he should do, he finally decides. "Sure, I'll be there in 5 minutes."
At the skies, MiguelHazard, Redblood and Guest Sorta are now traveling in an Airbus A400M Atlas towards their destination. At the back, MiguelHazard and Redblood are checking their weapons while Guest Sorta practices her magic to levitate herself but stumbles when she realize she is in an airplane.
As they wear their own parachutes, the pilot from the cockpit said. "We are arriving at No-Name Island in 2 minutes, you guys get a move on before you miss the landing spot."
They quickly stock any ammo they can get before they move into position in the back and once in position, a door in front of them, opens slowly and slowly until it fully opens.
Just they are about to jump, the pilot replied. "Once you get there, you have to find a way out of the island. Good luck."
After that, the three of them jumped out of the airplane and falling into the skies. They waited for a few minutes until MiguelHazard pulled the cord from his jacket and parachuted to a soft green grass as the same as Redblood while Guest Sorta used her magic to float herself and landed as well.
Once they landed, MiguelHazard and Redblood took their parachute bags discarded before pulling out their respectable weapons and move into the deep dark forest until their shadows never seen.
Back at the Starco Island. At the Starco Medical Hospital, Richard is walking through the hallway, bumping a few doctors along the way but apologized to them quickly since he needed to be in the SSC command room. He need to see what the girl is doing then going back to Starco HQ.
He finally reaches the room where the girl is kept and salutes the two SSA soldiers, which they saluted the president back. "Greetings, is the girl here?"
They nodded and one of them said. "Yes sir Mr. President, the girl is right over there. She still traumatized by the random MSF attacks if we believe."
Richard cursed in his breath, he remembered that the MSF randomly attack on Starco Fishermen even though they are only supplying foods to poor people of Starco.
He turns to the two SSA soldiers. "Good, you're can all return back to your post right away."
"Yes sir!" Then they saluted to the SSC President once more as they leave immediately. He shook his head and started to open the door.
"Alright, now good afternoon Ms.…" Then he stopped speaking once he looked at the girl he was going to visit. His eyes widened as he looks at her eyes that is similar to a girl he met for a long time. The girl is staring at her right window, not noticing Richard who is surprised by her appearance.
He said. "Rac…Rachel? You're alive!"
Then the girl turn her face to him and for a few seconds, she begins to tear up. "Rich…Richard, is that you?"
Before she could react, Richard runs to her and hugs tightly to her stomach and cries softly. He didn't expected that she would come here, it was like a fate to him. Rachel then hugs back, obviously missing her best friend after their separation 2 years ago.
Richard looks at her eyes but still crying. "After all those years you're alive! I...I can't believe this but how? What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for you!" She then explained. "After I left you, I been devastated and felt like I was alone. For a few days, I wanted to go back with you but you been transferred in another school before I could tell you everything. I been searching for you around the world until I was attacked by some group and suddenly, I woke up here in this room"
She cupped his cheeks. "But now…I found you at last. My sorry I left you suddenly, I don't know what I was doing but…." She began to tear up. "I JUST WANT TO BE WITH YOU!"
Rachel hugs him again as Richard stops crying and proceed to stoke her lovely silver hair. He never felt her hair since they were pre-high school. After a long reunion, they break up for a while and they both look at each other.
Rachel asked him about something. "Now that we met can you tell me why you left me after I left you?"
Richard wanted to but with the lockdown, he decided to take her to a safe location. "I want to tell you but not here. Can you walk without falling again?"
She playfully punched his shoulder before she giggles. "No silly! My legs are fine as the way it is except my head of course." Then she asked him again. "So, we're are we going Richard?"
"In a secure place where no one would touch it." Said Richard as he took her hand. Before they left, she stares at the window that is overlooking the coast. For a quick second, she twitch her lips before the two are leaving the room and the hospital later on.
After an hour of traveling in the forest, they saw an abandoned military port down there. MiguelHazard grabs a binoculars and uses it to see if there's an enemy scouts patrolling the harbor.
But to his surprise, no MSF soldiers, no battleships and no people in sight, except only a few Starco helicopters remain in the landing pads but he didn't see any captivities or his SSA soldiers. It's like no one even existed in the first place.
Redblood notice that MiguelHazard puts back his binoculars with a frown and asked him. "So, what did you see MiguelHazard?"
MiguelHazard looked back at Redblood. "None, no scouts, no weapons, nothing. It's like no one was even here. Hmm…. That's suspicious."
"What's so suspicious about?" asked Redblood as MiguelHazard scratch his chin in thought.
"The rumors said that they saw a passing battleship going in this mist 3 hours earlier but they don't disappeared that quickly. Also, if that was a large battleship, they have not quick enough to hide it from us and the pilot would see it from the distance."
Guest Sorta appeared in the back, interrupting their conversation. "The president said that we should investigate the area first if the MSF had been here or not."
Hearing Guest Sorta words, he agrees. "Alright." Before the three of them got down by using mountain ropes since they were on a hill. After grabbling down, they went towards the harbor.
Once they reach the harbor, MiguelHazard ordered Redblood and Guest Sorta to search the premises while he fixes the damaged Starco Helicopter. Redblood and Guest Sorta searched the storage room first before moving on to the barracks, but no people were located nor the equipment used by soldiers.
They exited the barracks together and they head towards MiguelHazard, who is still repairing the tail from the helicopter.
Once they reach MiguelHazard, Redblood informs him. "MiguelHazard, we searched around the area but none of our men or any MSF soldiers here. It's like a ghost town except we're in an empty port."
"Wait! There's one more." She pointed the large open blast doors that Redblood didn't notice. "Should we investigate here together?"
After connecting the tail to the helicopter, MiguelHazard climbs off the ladder and said to Guest Sorta. "Sure, but let's stick together this time. We don't know if it's an ambush or not." They nodded and the three of them heads towards the blast doors.
Before they entered, MiguelHazard light up a flare in the dark in the dark cold hallway. MiguelHazard feels that something's wrong here but determine to go on as he signals Redblood and Guest Sorta to follow him.
Unknown to them, two silhouettes is watching them from the moment they landed in their base. While the silhouette watches the large blast doors, the other pulled out a radio and said.
"Leader, MiguelHazard and his team is entering our trap."
"Good work men, I knew those pesky little SSA would investigate our activities here."
"What then our leader? Should we leave now before…." The silhouette was interrupted by the caller.
"Of course! Once they found our message of them, they will perish along with the entire island. Also, our Main Leader is already infiltrated the Starco HQ."
Meanwhile, back at the Starco HQ. In Richard's room, he and Rachel laughed together while they sit in the bed. Rachel then tells Richard. "….Remember that time we stopped the bullies from ruining the High School Beauty Competition and switch the paints to them as our result?"
Richard laughed. "Yeah, I remember that! Soon after the incident, the bullies got detention for 3 weeks and we received a reward for stopped them. That…that was the best memory I ever had."
Rachel giggled, making Richard blush. "Yeah… we had some fun times when we were pre-teen."
"Yep." Richard sighed "I'm sorry that I left you to fight against the MSF you know since I am a fan of Starco."
Rachel shook her head. "That's okay, I know you don't want to get me involved by this crazy shipper war. That's so sweet of you, thanks!" She kissed Richard in the cheek, making his cheeks blush even harder.
"Oh wow…. I um thanks, I guess." He touched his cheek where Rachel kissed him. Then he remembered something, something that he should tell her about 2 years ago.
"Rachel…." Rachel then looked at Richard. "…What happened 2 years ago? I don't understand why you left me that day but since you're here now, I need to know now."
He suddenly feel Rachel's trembling shoulders, like she is hesitant to answer. Before he tells Rachel again, he was interrupted when an SSC member enters the room without warning.
Before he asked what she is doing here all the suddenly, the SSC member spoke first. "Sir, you need to come down at the Starco Command Center. It's an emergency."
At first, he doesn't want to leave Rachel alone. But seeing the SSC member's face is serious one, he decided to go. "Rachel. Before I leave, tell me everything about what happened in the last 2 years."
She hesitant to tell him about what happened but nodded. "Don't worry, I tell you if you come back."
Richard gave a warming smiled before heading off with the SSC member. Once alone in her best friend's room, put her right hand into her chest as she sighed with her eyes closed.
"That was so close." She thought.
Inside the mysterious bunker, MiguelHazard, Redblood and Guest Sorta keep walking in the dark hallway until they see a metal door with a light on the other side of the room.
"I can see the light thought there." MiguelHazard pointed the open metal door. "Let's check it out." Then they head through the door and they entered the room.
Once they all inside, they found an abandoned command center with almost of the computers were broken with the large screen it front of them intact. "Redblood, check the office above to find any connected to the MSF. Guest Sorta and I will check down here."
Redblood obeyed and went into the office above to find some files that connected to the MSF while MiguelHazard and Guest Sorta check the computer if some of them working.
For 4 minutes of searching, Guest Sorta found a working computer but found a suspicious blue button that says 'Click Me please'.
"MiguelHazard and Redblood!" She shouted, making the SSA leaders stop searching and went to Guest Sorta. Redblood jumped to get to Guest Sorta faster.
"Guest Sorta, did you found something?" MiguelHazard asked as she pointed to the blue button, which his eyebrows turn into frown. "Click it." Without a word, she clicked the blue button immediately.
Just shortly after clicking it, the large screen pops up in a static. "Hello, MiguelHazard and his team. It's so nice to meet you once more."
MiguelHazard recognize the voice from somewhere. "Wait a second that sounds familiar…."
Then the screen's static becomes clearer and clearer until it sees a teenager with a long colored blue hair and another teenager with a short colored pink hair appears on the screen. Recognizing the boy from the Trek Island, he said. "So the Mackie Skateboard Twins is behind this."
Then Jacey, if MiguelHazard can remember it, says. "You must be wondering where we are now since we think that you guys will come here to check. To answer your question, we already left as soon you sent those losers here to investigate the No-Name Island."
She and her brother laughed together as the three who is watching the recording of them, stared angrily at those twins. Then Mason took over. "I'll explain my MSF plan but I doubt you're going to stop it this time because…." He then smirked. "…We already set our plan in motion."
MiguelHazard, Redblood and Guest Sorta was shocked by this. Despite they come here, they already started their plan now? That's so soon.
"Our plan here is to direct the SSA into coming here for a distraction while we deploy all our forces to the Starco HQ that you have been protecting for years. By the time this message is over, we will succeed what Cracker did not done. You're too late, MiguelHazard." The large screen shuts down after that message.
Redblood and Guest Sorta is shocked by that declaration while MiguelHazard is shocked the most. If that was true then the SSA and SSC would fall and the Starco-controlled islands would be easily captured by the MSF.
With a beating heart, MiguelHazard tells the two. "We…we need to go back at Starco HQ. We need to warm them before…." Just as he turned around to leave, the screen returns again but in red with a warning. "Warning, Warning. All personnel evacuate the island at once. I repeat, all personnel evacuate the island at once. Self-destruct initiated and counting down in 2 minutes."
"Run!" He shouted at his team before they run off back into the outside. While it is counting down, the command center and the facility started to explode anywhere, including the roof of the base.
The three of them is avoiding any obstacle along the way. The beam supporting the wall above almost hit Redblood but is saved by Guest Sorta in the last second with her telekinesis.
They keep avoiding and jumped a large hole in front of them until they see the blast doors and the outside. Redblood said. "Yes, we can make it."
Unfortunately, the alarm sounded as the blast doors are closing in seconds. Even in running in full speed, they would never make it in time. Guest Sorta noticed this and for this once, she will make a bet of her entire life.
She stopped and uses telekinesis to push MiguelHazard and Redblood out of the base when they near the blast doors and lands them in the sandy floor. MiguelHazard then holds his head in pain and saw only Redblood but not Guest Sorta.
He looked back, only to see the smile of Guest Sorta and a thumbs up in a split second before the blast doors closed forever. He realized Guest Sorta sacrificed her life for them, he runs back to the blast doors and repeatedly slams his hands in anger.
"NO! Guest Sorta NO!" Yelled MiguelHazard as kept banging the blast doors, not caring his hands are bleeding. Luckily, Redblood manage to stop his leader for hurting himself.
"Stop man! She is gone, so stop it!" That got his attention as Redblood force his head to look at him. "We need to leave before the island explodes. If we don't, Guest Sorta will die in vain, do you want that!?"
MiguelHazard wanted to open this door to save Guest Sorta. But, Redblood is right. If he stays here, all of Guest Sorta sacrifice would be nothing. Finally, he reluctantly agrees as both of them sprinted to the helicopter, dodging any rubbles and volcanic that spurt in the ground.
They quickly aboard the helicopter and started its engines. Redblood shows his frustration when the rotator slowly spins. "Come mon, dammit!" just it is about to take off, a sinkhole appears below them and begins to expanded to swallow the helicopter whole.
But before it could swallow the two SSA leaders, they soon take off and files away back to the Starco HQ.
Before they left, MiguelHazard saw the whole island exploded like an atomic bomb and his face turned into fear. He wondered if Guest Sorta survived that explosion or not. But in his mind, he believed that Guest Sorta survive worse than that.
He turned away from the exploding island and looked at the skies in front of him, determined to stop MSF invasion from attacking Starco Island or Guest Sorta would not forgive him if he fails this.
Back at the Starco Command Center, just below the Starco HQ. Richard slams his hands into the table, not happy about this events. "What the hell?! What do you mean that we can't contact Starco West Island?"
The SSC member panicked. "I don't know Mr. President! An hour later, we lost contact with them after we tried to establish a communication again. Also, we don't have news from MiguelHazard after we sent them in No-Name Island."
"Ugh!" Richard hold his head in headache. "Alright, contact Starco West Island and…." Before he could say again, he and his entire members heard an explosion above them and another one exploded in the opposite direction. The explosion is making the lights go on and off.
"What was that?" said the other SSC member, which he is hiding when the explosion came out. Regaining his senses, he ordered an SSC member. "I want you to find where that explosion came from now!"
Without hesitation, the SSC member began typing on his computer and after a few seconds, the screen pops up and shows a massive fleet are closing towards Starco Island. All of the SSC members, including Richard shows their faces in horror.
"Oh my…." Said the horrified SSC member.
Half an hour later, MiguelHazard and Redblood are passing Starco East Island and MiguelHazard wanted to reach Starco Island as possible. But as they see their island, they saw a massive MSF fleet surrounding the Starco Island.
The MSF has 10 aircraft carrier, 37 battleships, 50 hydra jets, 31 attack helicopters and 28 transport ships, who are now heading to Starco Island. Both of them realized they failed to stop a massive invasion strike by the MSF and their hydra jets destroyed any Starco remote defenses they can.
He picked up a radio from the helicopter. "Hello, Hello. Does anyone copy me?"
"Yes…yes, we can hear you MiguelHazard. Where have you been?"
"In a mission that Richard sent from us." He responded. "In fact, where is he now DarkMoon?"
"Shortly after the MSF decided to strike their full force, Richard ordered us to evacuate any Starco Fans and people to safely and command your SSA to push them long enough while he said he's going to run back to his room to pick out a person" explained DarkMoon about the situation.
"A what?!" yelled MiguelHazard. "What kind of a person?"
"I don't know who he or she is!" retorted DarkMoon. "But you need to help us push back the incoming MSF invaders before they sweep the area now!"
The signal was cut off soon after and MiguelHazard put back the radio in anger. He wanted to ask Richard about the mission, including the loss of Guest Sorta but it looks like it would have to wait and aid his SSA men to battle the MSF with all their might.
"What should we do MiguelHazard?" asked Redblood as he is still piloting a helicopter.
He answered. "Let's land this thing into Starco City and fight the MSF as long as we can. We will not forsake Starco!"
A/N: Yes! Thank goodness, I am so done. This chapter is worth now 5000 words and now my back hurts for sitting in a small chair for hours with my writing. Before I start my announcement, sorry about Guest Sorta. I was about to sacrifice Redblood but I change it to your character instead. But please don't mad at me okay? Your character will maybe appear on a sequel of this story, I can promise you that.
Now my announcement, tomorrow is my exam and a 'Special Exam' in March 1 and 2. After I uploaded this chapter, I would halt my story until 'Face the Music/Starcrushed' episode is over because I don't know if Marco choose Jackie or Star. It depends on the relationship with Marco with Star and Star vs The Forces of Evil Season 2 is almost ending, I just can't wait!
I need to stop writing because I didn't eat lunch this afternoon, take a bath and after that, I'm going to study and rest my head for a while. Please put fav/follow on my latest chapter, reply and I am going to see you all soon.
