I don't own Warriors or Starship Troopers.
Starship Warriors
I nervously looked at the tunnel as the other prepared themselves for the mission. This wasn't the first time warriors entered the tunnels, but so far none came back alive.
"I want Skycloud to take the lead the rest follow him. Understood?" The Sarge said.
"Yes sir!" We all replied in unison.
We then headed towards the dark depth of the tunnel with Skycloud leading the way. I turned on my infrared sensors and made sure to keep track on everyone's beacons. I didn't want to get lost nor would I like somebody else to go missing.
We dropped signal beacons every once in a while as we got deeper in the tunnels so that we could trace our steps back. After ten minutes of walking we encounter a couple of bugs, but they were immediately eliminated. Other than a couple more contacts our journey was uneventful.
"How long does this go?" Tigerfang asked from behind me.
"The Psychic Core's map tells us that there should be a gigantic cave near us." Sgt. Robinflight said.
Suddenly, as if on cue, a gigantic cave appeared. It had sharp edges and was very dark on the otherside. But my infrared showed that there were at least five life forms there that looked like cats. Maybe they were prisoners?
"Alright let's move fast." The Sarge said while checking the cave. "Fire team one cover the right flank. Fire team two cover the left flank. The rest of you follow me. We're going to carry our comrades out of there."
We all nodded and prepared to charge the cave. Since this was the area were they kept they're prisoners, they should have this place heavily guarded.
"Go!"
After hearing the Sarge's order we all raced inside the cave. I followed the heat signitures and Sgt. Robinflight.I looked on the radar and only saw the beacons of my squad mate. Maybe this wasn't guarded after all.
We got near our target and confirmed that they were our comrades. They were all asleep and probably were too tires to wake since we couldn't get them to stand. I heard the Sarge say:
"Alright each one take a cat it looks like they've been knocked out cold."
I took the one closest to me and scooped him up with my tail. Thanks to my suit it was a fairly easy job scooping him and carrying him on my back.
Once the Sarge was sure that we all had our fellow warriors he gave the order to move. But before I could move a muscle I saw a beam of red light fly next to me. Luckily it missed but it alerted all of us.
I checked my radar and saw red dots everywhere. The bugs have already noticed us and are trying to retrieve they're prisoners if not gain more.
"Move! Move!" The Sarge yelled.
I didn't have to me told twice. I bolted with the others as the once in the front and back of the line provided a protective perimeter. We followed the signal beacons out of the tunnels and exited it. The Sarge and Skycloud threw two grenades, with their tales, and sealed the entrance.
We all thought it was over but suddenly out of nowhere more tunnels poped out and bugs came bursting through.
We took cover near a pile of rocks and set up defencive perimeters. I shot at every bud I saw while keeping the cat on my back. I was probably shooting my eight bug when I heard:
"…while the moon glows over the land…"
It was a song called Luna and was the recall signal from my company's ship. That means that the drop ship is nearby and that we had to get there as fast as possible. The Sarge ordered as to jump and we did. I made sure that my tail was keeping the cat secure as I jumped and checked on him every few seconds.
I noticed that he had orange fur and had a slightly bigger build than me. For some reason he looked familiar but I didn't know why.
After a couple of jumps we reached the drop ship and I could see the Lieutenant yelling at us to go faster. On my radar screen I could see swarms of bugs poping out from everywhere.
We soon landed next to the drop ship and started boarding as the Lieutenant and Sarge provided cover. After making sure that everyone was inside the Sarge enterd followed by the Lieutenant.
I then felt myself get pushed to the floor as the drop ship launched itself towards the sky. A couple of minutes later we were out of the atmosphere and were about to rendezvous with the Luna.
Another mission done.
Why did that cat looked so familiar? Find out next time in Starship Warriors.
