Surgere: Chapter 13 - Decisions, decisions
Slime ran over my forehead as I panted before breathing out heavily to calm myself. Quickly, I used my staff to push my opponent away from me and then twisted around to give them a swift kick to the abdomen. My next move being to slide the blade of my staff up to her neck. Orange eyes gleamed at me from the floor as her ears laid flat on her scalp. Pulling my weapon back, I grinned, "good job, Kist. You've been improving." She gave a slight nod of her head. "Watch your footing more and keep your weapon close. You were much too open there at the end." The humanoid-cat nodded as her nose twitched.
My antenna lifted into the air as a siren began to ring through the ship. "Battle stations!" Flipping the staff around in my fingers it became smaller and I slid it into my pack. My eyes landed on an Irken fleet ahead that was blocking us from our destination. "We kill them all!" All of the other creatures aboard cheered as the firing began.
I quickly went to our drop ship. "Make sure to keep this going until the plan is complete." Kist boarded with me, "you'll be piloting after I get off." She nodded in understanding.
We began our way through the stream of gunfire and armada. Their fleet had gotten larger since the war had begun. Quickly we whipped up beside the massive ship to board in secret. I had ever weapon I needed for this mission of mine. Making a whole large enough for myself in the glass I climbed in before fixing it up behind me. What I was about to do was turn the war completely around in Surgere's favor. I snuck down the halls making sure to not let any of the guards spot me. Being on the inside of was actually perfect. None of these idiots knew I was on board. I was goingto kill them and take over the Irken planet as well. This would be one of the last steps I had to do before I was able to return. Max control of the universe would be mine.
Finally I got to their armory to disassemble their gear. My antenna popped into the air and wiggled slightly as I listened to some guards running around. If I remembered correctly the Tallest would be in the center room. I pulled my sniper from my PAK and removed my claw to attach to my hip, making sure to put a gun on my opposite hip.
Slowly I went through all the halls to get to the top floor where a small balcony was located. It was odd that none of the guard had stay on lookout up here to protect the Tallest. They were most likely in the snack room (one of the many on the damn ship) seeing as their leaders refused to feed them. My gaze locked on my two targets. Perhaps I could do this perfectly. I slid my sniper into place as I kneeled down beside it. Making sure to alien my scope with the nose of my weapon, I loaded to fire. A quick breath slipped form my lips as I got ready. My cross-hairs were on Purple, but Red was behind him so I was hoping for the best of both worlds… Flicking on the laser quickly to check my aim, I shot. Purple fell to the floor first with blood oozing from his head. Red gasped as it pierced his forehead before entering his brain. Quickly I turned off my laser and got up from my position.
Every Irken down there was in panic as they screamed. "The pods! The pods! We need to abandon… OH MY GORTHOG! Sirs!" The Irkens' eyes were wide as they scrambled around trying to figure out what to do. The Tallest were taken away in a hurry. I snickered at the sight, but swing around fast at hearing footsteps. Shooting one of them in the knees, I sliced another through the gut, and twisted around to pin the last to the ground before shooting him in the head. They were pretty easy to defeat seeing as they had only studied Irken fighting styles. None of them could keep their guards up. I swung around and elbowed a guy, rapping my arms around his head and snapping his throat. This couldn't have been easier. The small group that had come for me had been slaughtered. It almost bothered me to amount that I liked it though... My sword stabbed through another Irken that was running at me. Our eyes meeting as I let him fall to the floor. I sliced one in half and then another.
None of them had weapons which was extra helpful as well as their lack of training. I let my bubble helmet come on as I opened a hatch to exit the massive ship. I used my magnetic boots to walk along the outside of the ship until I reached the giant symbol. Writing out largely across the metal Surgere, and then doing my own logo. My gaze shot up when a pod shot off from the ship. I grinned and pulled out my favorite weapon. A small handheld, but it had a big bang. Aiming quickly I shot and watched as the blast flew through the air breaking the small ship.
Using a small device I hacked into all the remaining PAKs in the area changing every job assigned to a Surgere warrior. All Irkens were to know that Surgere meant business. Kist picked me up from my location and brought me back to our ship. "We can send our winnings back to Surgere. The food on board will help if there have been any shortages anywhere." I crossed my arms in thought. "Make sure it gets there. We need to help all the other planets as well where they'll support us fully."
After dealing with everything, I left the main platform to go relax. The stress from being in charge had begun to take its toll on me. Flopping down on my bed I sighed, maybe I should plan my return to Surgere to be a bit sooner than I had originally. I really missed my filth and all. Plus I wanted to know if Gax had spoken to the Umbra Widow. It bothered the hell out of me that I had taken such an attraction to them all. Even Gir I missed. I should've just kept him here with me, but I wanted the robot to be safe. Another reason being was he might get in the way of the mission. My eyes narrowed. I needed some rest, therefore it was decided. I'd be going home early.
