CHAPTER 20: PeacefulAmbush.

Forced wolf steps in the sand move them slowly forward against the storm while the squad's vision is severely limited to the point the can only see a few steps ahead; when suddenly, a blue light bright enough to be seen through the sand storm, rushes fast towards the groups and expands in midair zapping them all with electricity.

Derk Wolf: "it's coming from here! Let's charge at them! go, go, GO!" –starts sprinting towards the attack's origin direction-

Karoll Vizuet: -sprinting with him- "Everyone has been stunned, sir. We're the only ones who weren't zapped that bad"

Derk: "Alright Karoll! It'll have to be just you and me until the rest of the squad regain their consciousness. The best way to help them now is to secure the area"

(Karoll nor Derk have non-lethal equipment at this point; but if they wanna be pacifistic, they can do it by just getting very close to the enemy humans; they'll just fall back upon this action [PS: the giant electricity balls that explode in midair were being shot by a tank that also retires from the scene when and if Karoll and Derk get too close])

"uh... hey guys, what happened?" –another wolf says after having woken up from astonishment-

Derk: "don't worry about it, we'll take it from here. There's the elevator door; come Karoll, this will take us to the old office complex"

Karoll: "an office complex in middle of the desert, huh?" –standing in the elevator as the door closes-

Derk: "Yes, and we have to reach it through this tunnel... the complex is being demolished by tanks as we speak" –steps out of the elevator after it has quickly taken them into the cave tunnel-

Karoll: "That's where the admiral is, right? We have to hurry and help him evacuate!"

As they run across the echoic and intimidating structure, a giant shadow of a bird can be seen go across the walls very fast; there's also an infinite abyss all along the left side of the path. Then they are engaged by more enemy humans also using non-lethal equipment; they can again make them go away by getting close without attacking (if Derk or Karoll get zapped to the point of being stunned in any of these parts, the enemy will be gone anyway after the wake up; so they have no way to fail here {except maybe jumping into the abyss or something}). Then they take one of the exit stairs back to the surface that leads into a small bunker.

Karoll: "Oh hey!" –greets another wolf as she's done climbing-

Derk: "hey buddy!" –greets him too after climbing off the stair-

"I've been trying to slow these tanks down all day by marking them for the plasma cannons with this laser marker, they've shot down all of the cannons except for one. Hurry! We've had a shortage of good wolf admirals since your brother died, Derk" –says the wolf in the bunker-

Karoll and Derk than have to run across some trenches that connect to the office complex's entrance; one fighter ship makes a low sweep, firing all along the trench tram, but fortunately our heroes are both unharmed from this. The office complex is an elevated structure, supported by pillars; Karoll and Derk proceed to enter it. (it is at this point that they can switch to non-lethal equipment if they so wish)

Derk: -yells loudly in middle of the explosions and shakiness of the building- "Admiral Anthony-lee Walsh! ADMIRAL WALSH! We're here for your evacuation... WE'RE LEAVING!

Anthony-lee Walsh: "I'm right here, son"

Derk: "let's head back to the tunnel, sir"

Anthony: -looks outside through the windows- "I'm afraid that doesn't seem possible anymore; the tanks had advanced too much on us. I got some jeeps down hidden next to the sand-traps, and a couple crewmen to drive us out of here"

Derk: "What? What were you waiting for to leave then, sir?"

Anthony: "I didn't want to endanger the recue team they sent for me in vain"

Derk: -sighs- "whatever, let's get in the vehicles then"

/one minute later/

Anthony: "Hey Derk, could you do something for me?"

Derk: "what is it sir?" –asks while getting in a jeep's turret-

Anthony: "head north, there's someone I want you to meet; my crewman will take you there. I'll be going to the city"

Derk: "But... they sent me to protect you"

Anthony: "Leave that to this pretty soldier right here; unless you don't think she can handle it"

Derk: "She can totally do it, sir. She's an excellent warrior" –smiles at Karoll-

Anthony: "then we will see each other some other time, Sargent Wolf; I wish you the best of luck"

Both vehicles part their ways. After a while, Derk's vehicle starts being chased by a fighter ship; probably the same one shooting earlier at the trenches.

Crewman: "Take it down! Take it down"

Derk: -shooting at it (be it bullets or system jamming projectiles) and he notices that the ship is firing system jamming projectiles and thinks to himself- "what's up with all these pacifist humans today?"

After he's done with that ship whether jamming its weaponry or destroying it, the vehicle is ambushed by more non-lethal equipment wielding humans.

Derk: -jumps off the vehicle and seeks cover to fight the attackers-

Crewman: "they're all getting in that house!" –observes as the humans enter one by one in an old and abandoned looking wooden house-

Derk: "should we get back in the vehicle and get going?"

Crewman: "no... I think this is where Admiral Anthony-Lee Walsh wanted you to go"

Derk: "Alright... let's approach carefully"

When they enter the house, Derk is attacked by a human trying to zap him as he goes through one of the house's internal doors; he reacts quickly and doesn't let the human zap him by grabbing his taser and arm and starting to wrestle.

Crewman: "oh shit! I'm coming, Derk! ..w...woah...!" –is suddenly lifted by a mysterious force along with all of the house's assets and planks of wood and everyone that was in the house-

Derk: "what the fuck?" –says as he's pulled away the human he was wrestling and they all float in a circle; then a magic being appears in the middle of the floating circle of debris, humans and wolves-

Baldy: "Greetings organic beings... Greetings from another dimension"

Derk: "Fucking magic beings... we will destroy you all! We're going after your leader, the white bird, you hear? And we can do it because we are all united against you! ...except for now that I was trying to strangle a human"

Baldy: "that white Orb keeper isn't my leader... not all magic beings are evil... and I need you to understand it. Let the Ship Down Taker fight for your organization... let him help you or else you are doomed. He's the only Magic being that can help you until we figure out what dimension this is and can come here ourselves"

Derk: "We don't need no magic beings... we are a whole army ...and. Did you know one time a single human destroyed and Orb keeper and its Orb? Yeah! We organic life forms are much stronger than what you give us credit for, aren't we?

Baldy: "That was an entirely different situation... That Orb keeper had left almost all his magic on another planet, leaving him defenseless. But the white bird is always surrounded by a large amount of magic and power, making him impenetrable; there's no amount of organic-made power capable of breaking through his barriers. I think it would also be wise to let the synthetic Nail Clippers help you, but I'm sure they can negotiate that alliance by themselves... I'm asking YOU, Derk Wolf; they will listen to you, because your brother was a great hero to them, do it for organic life's survival in the galaxy"

Derk: "why would I ever trust a Magic being? And even if I did... the General and his girlfriend hate magic beings with a passion ...specially her"

Baldy: "I know it won't be easy but I trust you won't let me down, Derk. Now, I'll put you all down... promise you will stop fighting among each other... you have an incredibly powerful enemy in common.. you can't even begin to understand him and his kind"
