I don't own Warriors or Starship Troopers.

Starship Warriors

I walked up to the gate of the military hospital and stopped at the guard post. I showed the guard my pass and after a couple of minutes I was allowed to enter.

The military hospital wasn't the biggest in the planet but it sure was modern. It had floating robotic helpers that acted as nurses and it was clean and bright, one could even mistake it for a hotel.

I approached the nearby desk and asked one of the attendants where Ravenstar was confined. The attendant told me that he was in the east wing, second floor, room seventy eight. I quickly thanked the attendant before heading towards my brother's room.

After getting lost a couple of times, who knew a small hospital could have so many hallways, I manage to get to room seventy eight.

As I got there I notice two cats wearing heavily tinted shades leave the room. I could tell that they were officers from Intelligence and were probably asking my brother about what happened during his imprisonment with the bugs.

I watched the two walk pass me and when I was sure they were gone entered the room. Inside I saw Ravenstar laying on his bed and looking outside the window. He didn't look as tired as he was before but I knew he was still a little weak.

"Hey feeling better?" I asked hoping to get his attention.

"Oh, Foxclaw…" He said in surprise. "…I didn't hear you come in and yes I am feeling better."

"Good." I said as I sat on a chair next to his bed. His room was spacious and had all accommodations he might need. There was a small T.V. on the wall, which was currently off, and a refrigerator below it. The room was painted white, like the entire hospital, and was nice and cool, thanks to the air-conditioning.

I avoided asking him about the two cats earlier since I didn't want to stress him anymore. So I decided to chat with him about the old times when we were younger and how the day was going. I looked at the window and could see the nice blue sky, which reminded me of home, and the warm rays of light from the nearby star.

After talking away for a while I heard a siren ring from the outside. It was coming from the nearby base, which where I was stationed.

"I wonder what that's all about?" Ravenstar said.

"I don't know…" I said. "…but it doesn't sound good."

He nodded in agreement as I approached the window to check what was happening.

Outside I saw civilians looking around checking out what was happening. They were obviously confused, like we were, and were trying to figure out why the sirens went off. It was very rare for the military to hold drills, especially in a place like this where everyone is clearly safe from the bugs, and the sirens sounded different from the once used for drills (Yes, the Federation has different kind of alert sirens for almost every kind of situation.). They sounded more like raiding sirens, used to alert the population before an attack. But an attack from what?

I then saw two U.N. armored vehicles pass by followed by two trucks filled with soldiers, ordinary soldier, heading towards the city center.

Although there wasn't much use for the U.N., since the creation of the Federation, the U.N. still remained an influential group in Earth as well as in the colony's. U.N forces were usually in charge off defending Earth and the colony's as well as supporting Federation troops in some mission. Though they're forces weren't as powerful as ours since we had powered suits, that has the striking force of five tanks, while the U.N. only had armored vehicles and soldiers that only have plasma rifles and helmets.

I watched them pass the hospital as I wondered what all the fuss was about. I soon get an answer to my question as I see streaks of light, like shooting stars, descend from the sky above. I squint my eyes trying to get a better view at them but failed.

I watched as the objects crash on the opposite side of the city with a loud boom! After a couple of minutes I heard weapons fire from that area and decided to head back to base. I said my goodbyes to Ravenstar and promised him that I'll be back once I check out what was wrong.

A I was about to exit the hospital I heard the speakers, which were military speakers attached in every corner of the city to inform troops in R and R in case of an emergency, boom out:

"All Mobile Warriors personnel return to your barracks! Arachnid troops have landed on the planet and are trying to seize the city. Further orders will be given once you return!"

The speaker repeated what he said but I didn't pay attention. Bugs in Sanctuary? I thought. But I though no one knew its location.

No bug task force, till now, has ever come close to this planet and now they're sending an invasion force to take it.

How did they know where sanctuary is?

Out of nowhere a sudden realization hit me. I remembered what Ravenstar told me, about the scorpion like bug. What if the bugs were gathering information from captured fleet captains? With the amount of ships they shot they would probably know more secrets than the Sky Martial. That means every place in the Federation is in threat of being attacked.

My thoughts were soon disrupted when I accidentally bumped into someone. I looked up to see a brown cat with green eyes staring directly at me, Lt. Owlstar.

"Foxclaw!" He shouted. "Didn't you hear the orders? Get back to base!"

I nodded to him and together we raced back to the base where, if we're lucky, powered suits should be waiting on emergency standby. Right now it didn't matter how the bugs got here. What mattered was how we were going to get them out.

Thanks for reading and please review.
