"Please hurry K9 we don't have much time," Sarah Jane said to her metal dog.
"Understood mistress, I am already detecting life sighs approaching from the southeast" K9 answered.
"Then I need to be with my soldiers" James replied.
James then turned to Jack and Mark.
"I want you two to stay here if they get past us I want you to get Gavin and the cube out of here" James told them.
James then turned to leave the room.
"James wait" Sarah Jane said.
James stopped and turned to her.
"I'm sorry Sarah Jane, I wish there was another way" James told her.
James then turned and quickly left the room.
"They don't stand a chance," Sarah Jane continued.
"What choice do we have" Jack answered.
"Just one, Anna" Mark replied.
Colonel Anna Tellos was now sat in a locked room looking out of the window, just then she heard the door being unlocked and opened. Anna then turned to see Mark.
"Wondered how long it would take you to get here" Anna said.
"I'm never far behind you, you should know that by now" Mark answered.
"Why are you here mark," Anna asked.
"I need your help" Mark replied.
Anna suddenly burst out laughing.
"What makes you think I'm going to help you" Anna continued.
"An alliance shuttle has just landed and there coming here for Gavin, we're going to need everyone we've got to hold them" Mark explained.
"And you know that my men will refuse to fight without me" Anna added with a small grin.
"Loyal to their colonel, right to the end" Mark said.
"So they should be," Anna answered.
Suddenly mark grabbed her and pined her against a wall.
"That loyalty is going to cost them there lives unless you do something, do you think those alliance troops are going to distinguish between your men and James and his troops" Mark snapped.
"What's in it for me" Anna shot back.
"Your son" Mark told her.
Anna looked shocked.
"What you brought Sam here" Anna almost shouted.
"Yes so if you don't help us we'll both lose the only good thing we did together," Mark replied.
"Then take me to my men, but you have to promise me you'll get Sam out of here" Anna demanded.
Back in the control room K9 had now connected Jack's vortex manipulator to Martha's phone and Amy's cube.
"Sub wave network reaching full power, contacting Master" K9 told everyone.
Outside Red eye was stood on a hillside looking down on the UNIT base.
"I'm detecting a signal coming from the human base my lord," One of the troopers who was scanning the area told him.
"What is it" Red eye asked.
"It appears the humans are calling for help," The trooper answered.
"Locate the source of the signal and destroy it" Red eye calmly replied.
"It's difficult it's unlike any signal I've seen before" The trooped continued.
Red eye turned to him.
"Destroy it now" Red eye told the trooper.
The trooper then turned a dial on the scanning device.
Suddenly the computer in the control room exploded sending K9 flying across the room.
"K9" Sarah Jane yelled as she ran over to him.
Back outside the trooper turned to Red eye.
"Signal has cessed my lord" The trooper said.
"Good" Red eye added as he pressed a button on his wrist.
Red eye the raised his arm just below his mouth.
"Knight Commander" Red eye called.
Just then a hologram of the knight commander appeared on Red eye's arm
"My lord" The commander answered.
"Begin your attack at once" Red eye ordered.
"By your command" The knight commander replied with a bow.
Red eye then looked on as below him the Knight commander pulled out a sword and signalled the other troopers to attack the UNIT base.
"Here they come" James yelled as the Kriteria troopers appeared from the darkness.
The air was then filled with laser fire and bullets as the two side clashed.
Meanwhile inside Sarah Jane was couched next to K9.
"K9 speak to me," Sarah Jane said as she rolled K9 off his side.
The metal dog remained still for a moment, but then his ears slowly began to move as K9's systems came back online.
"Sub wave network disconnected mistress" K9 told her.
"He's right the computers been fried" Jack answered as he looked at the smouldering remains of the computer.
"Then it looks like were on our own" Luke replied.
Just then Sarah Jane and the others heard something fly over the building.
"Now what" Clyde said.
But before anyone could answer Mark came running into the room.
"Air centurions we need to get out of here" Mark told her.
"I'm not leaving anyone behind," Sarah Jane answered.
"Sarah, there trying to surround us, we have to go now" Mark explained.
"What about James and the other solders" Sanjay asked.
"Mark's convinced Anna and her men to help us, they'll be fine but if the alliance get there hands on the cube it'll be all for nothing" Jack answered.
"Guess we have no choice" Sarah Jane simply said.
Outside the battle continued.
"Sarge we've got incoming" Walker warned as 2 air centurions flew towards them.
Suddenly a rocket came out of nowhere and flew towards the two centurions destroying both of them in a ball of flames.
"What the" Walker said.
James and walker then turned to see Anna with a rocket launcher.
"Looks like you could do with a hand," Anna told him.
Just then Anna's men appeared and joined the battle, Anna then went over to James.
"What are you doing here?" James asked.
"Mark managed to convinced me that it is in both of our interests to help each other in this fight," Anna answered.
"Where is he?" James asked.
"I told him to get Sarah Jane and the others out of here" Anna explained.
"Well then lets give them as much time as we can" James replied.
Anna nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile Red eye continued to watch the battle from the hillside.
"There holding out better than I thought" Red eye said.
"My lord I'm detecting life sighs leaving the human base" The trooper with the scanner told him.
"Humans are so predictable, now we know exactly where the key and the boy are" Red eye said.
"Shall I alert the knight commander?" the trooper asked.
"No continue the attack, I shall deal with them myself" Red eye answered.
To be continued.
