Chapter 2:
The monkey, The man, The gun.
"Venom, That's a strange name for a planet..." Jones stated."Why are we being shown this?" Jones queried. "Because, you're about to recon this planet." The admiral ordered. "What? Why?" Jones said. "When those enemy's who attacked us earlier fled, They went down to this planet and you're gonna find them, if there is anything to find...We have studied the debris of the ships and found out something strange. They have an aluminum base." The admiral stated. "An aluminum base? So what, there like...flying soda cans?" Pyro stated breaking his way into the conversation. "yeah, sure...We don't know much other then this, other then the fact that there ships can't handle lead, there shields...aren't made up for it..." The admiral stated almost ignoring Pyro's previous statement. "OK, so...I guess we should get going." Jones stated. "Be careful out there. We don't know what this Planet has on it...Keep on eye on your Geiger counter, If its not obvious...this planet is generating a shit load of radiation. Your ships can block this, but only so much. Now, move out!" admiral Leroy ordered."Sir yes sir." The team said simultaneously, except for Pyro who was thinking about if his ship even had a Geiger counter.
The team now headed towards the hanger, slower then before because there was no need to rush. Upon entering the hanger they each went to there individual ships and suited up, Jones went through the normal procedures of securing the com link and making sure every ship is ready for battle, if need be. Every ship undocked and went out of the hanger.
"so, what do you think Jeff?" Shrink asked as the ships headed towards the huge green planet."About what may?" Jones said answering Shrinks question with another."All of this...our situation, that strange attack after we left the black hole...all of it." shrink asked. "I dunno..its too early to tell...this solar system isn't on record, and they're still trying to calculate the distance we are from home...as far as I know...we're boned...Who knows if we can even get back through the hole?" Jones replied. "hmm..." is all Shrink had to say in reply.
The ships began to enter the atmosphere of the planet. All flying in normal formation. "Okay, we're gonna split up, the faster we find them the faster we can go back to the Poseidon. I want two teams, Jack and Ming you're with me." Jones ordered."Alright..." Pyro and Crazy both replied. Pyro looking for something that resembles a Geiger counter. Both teams taking their time, scanned the areas they passed over, while occasionally checking their Geiger counters to ensure they we're still safe. "Anything?" Pyro asked. "No, but I found a rock!! Oh look, there's another!!" Jones replied sarcastically. "Damn it! How are we supposed to know if they're still even here!?" Pyro complained. "Shut up, we've only been looking for like ten minutes."Jones yelled still continuing to search.
"Oh damn, Look alive we've got something!" Jones stated trying to analyze the ship a few kilometers in front of him. "Is it one of theres?" Pyro asked."I don't know. It doesn't look like the ones that attacked us, but it sure as shit isn't ours, shoot it down!"Jones ordered. The ship didn't even have a chance to know what had hit it, it was barraged by lead on both sides, ripping its wings of and sending it crashing into the plateau below.
"This ship seems like it was heading back to its base...but what was it doing out here all alone? Recon? No, not by itself." Jones thought."Admiral, we downed an enemy ship, advise."Jones said."Keep searching, and if you find a base, bomb it!" Admiral Leroy said. "Bomb it sir?" Jones said. "yes, we don't want them to get away, and afterwards we can search the base and see if we can't find out more of what we're fighting." The admiral said. "affirmative" Jones said. "Shrink, Stain, Filch. Did you all get that?" Jones asked. "Yeah...we're heading your way." Stain replied. "No, there may be more over where you're at, continue searching in your direction." Jones ordered. "Yes sir" Stain replied. The ships now began to head the direction the ship they downed was going. "uhhh...this strange meter is jumping between yellow and green, guys? Pyro said. "Thats your Geiger counter idiot, it means we're entering a place with a higher radiation, if it turns read get out as fast as you can." Crazy said. "Oh...I knew that!" Pyro said. Crazy just sighed.
Silhouettes of five ships similar to the one just downed began to fly towards the squadron of three. "Um uh oh" Pyro said. "Damn this looks bad! Attack formation, mark one and take him out!" Jones ordered. Pyro immediately spotted his target and unloaded a salvo of missiles on him, sending it into the valley below. The other four ships began to spread out firing simultaneously at the group of three."At least their putting up a fight this time." Crazy said with a smile. Jones began using the missile lock feature on his ship. Marking one of the four ships, With insane luck his missile struck the ship and sent it flying into one of the other ships. Both exploding on impact. "Shit yeah!" Jones yelled. At this point the ships came close range, crazy pulled his ship in a loop and started following one of the others. Preparing to unload on him, Crazy got a grin on his face. But his hapiness was soon turned to sadness as one of Pyro's rockets blew his target to pieces. "You dick" Crazy screamed at Pyro. "Yoink!' was all Pyro said in reply. The last ship began to flee only to be being shot down by one of Jones' machine gun blasts. " Oh little bitch was trying to run!" Jones said."Yeah that was intense" Crazy said. "Major we have to back off, the radiation is getting to high over here." Filch said over the com. "Affirmative, get back to the Poseidon, these guys are pushovers."Jones said.
"Major Jones." The admiral started over the com. "The enemy ships that have been attacking you, we know where there coming from. But you're not gonna like it." Admiral Leroy said. "Go on sir." Jones said. The other side of the planet towards the solar system. There coming from some place called sector Z." Jones pulled his ship to a stop. "What?" Jones said a little mad at the fact that this mission may have been pointless. "Yes, apparently, we aren't dealing with pirates either, we're dealing with an entire army. This is all I know as of yet." The admiral said " Shit!" Jones replied. " I guess there's gonna be a lot more fighting these guys then?" Filch Started in. " Yeah unfortunately." Jones said.
