Chapter 8:
No one's POV
The ship landed in the city Metropolis on planet Kerwan, "Loyde, we're here," Rage said trying to wake up his sleeping partner. Rage grinned maliciously as he realized that this was his opportunity to exact his revenge.
Chuckling, he thrust his foot at Loyde only to have it grabbed mid-course, "don't even think about it dork," Loyde snarled shoving his foot away.
"Who's going in as the spy?" Rage asked standing up.
"Do you have any idea who's going to be in that meeting?" Loyde said stretching.
"I believe it will be attended by peace keeper elites," Rage said turning to the ship's computer, "I believe there might be top league generals in there," he continued.
Loyde turned on his Holo guise and transformed into a peace keeper that had a lot of badges on his uniform, "I'm going in, you watch my back and give me any information I might need to know," he said standing at the ship's door.
"Hold on, let me assign you a few droids to act as body guards and to make you look official," Rage said typing something onto the computer. A few droids came from the back room of the ship. Each of them being replicas of the peace bots, "good luck," he said.
Loyde's POV
I walked towards the entrance of the base, "okay Loyde, you are General Ritzkov from the base on Rilgar," Rage said from the earpiece.
I walked up to two guards, "state your identity and purpose," one guard commanded.
"Have you no respect for a General?" I asked sounding disgusted. The guard looked somewhat startled, "I am General Ritzkov from the base on Rilgar, I am here to attend the meeting," I said looking the guard dead in the eyes.
"Um sorry general, you may enter," he said saluting.
I walked passed him and looked back, "I'll make sure to have a little chat with your supervisor," I said walking further inside having startled the guard with my statement.
"Excuse me, where will the meeting be held?" I asked a soldier who appeared to be loitering.
"Oh um follow me," he said walking off with me and my droids following suit.
I was lead into a room filled with different generals blabbing on about useless stuff, "Rage what's supposed to happen anyway?" I asked looking around and locked eyes with Rilgarian who immediately looked somewhere else.
"The highest general will enter the room you are currently in soon. Just act naturally and salute when he enters the room," he replied.
"So I should just listen to whatever they say?" I asked.
"Pretty much and just try not to act suspicious," he said.
A Markazian enters the room causing everyone to go silent and salute him as he makes his way towards his seat, "you may take your seats," he said. Every one complied and sat down.
"Welcome fellow soldiers," he said leaning back in his seat, "I have summoned all of you here to discuss the an issue that happened recently," he said looking a bit bothered.
"I'm sure you all know that the base in Megapolis was recently destroyed," he said as a projection of the base was displayed from the table, "aside from that, my daughter was kidnapped," he said still looking upset.
"Well General I have a suggestion," said the Rilgarian from before, "I think we should add more troops to our bases," he said smirking.
"Where will we find many willing civilians?" the General asked.
The Rilgarian grinned and stood up, "we can go on undeveloped planets and force the natives to join our troops," he said walking around.
The general gained a look of shock, "Commander Boltron, what is the meaning of this," now looking angry, "we are supposed to be promoting peace, not violence," he said.
The Rilgarian smirked, "it's the only way commander, consider it," he said smugly, the rest of the elites murmuring in agreement.
"I will not allow it Commander," the general said crossing his arms.
"I thought you'd disagree but I have another question to ask," he said standing next to me, "who are you?" he asked pointing a blaster at me.
"General Ritzkov from Rilgar," I said casually said looking him in the eye.
"You're lying," he snarled.
The General now looked annoyed, "commander what is the meaning of this," he asked.
"This General over here is a fake," he said, "he's not the general from Rilgar, he's a spy," he said hitting me with the butt of his blaster disabling my Holo guise. Gasps were heard all over the room, "tell me spy, why are you here?" he said while everyone readied their blasters.
I chuckled and pulled out my Vipers, "why don't you make me tell you," I said hitting him in the face with my blaster. My droids also began shooting as the various elites began shooting as well as the security forces that began entering the room.
I quickly ran out of the room and down the hall, my droids following suit, "you're not going anywhere Lombax!" shouted the Rilgarian, "don't just stand there you idiots, destroy him!" he said as a squad of soldiers began firing at me. A soldier threw a grenade at me which I dodged but my droids were taken in the explosion.
My Vipers were finally out of ammo and my quick select was damaged by the explosion, "you end here Lombax," said a soldier as he and some peace bots closed in on me.
I was left with no blasters and was surrounded. I was left with only one option.
I pulled out my Omniwrench and threw it at a bot destroying it, "Rage I'm unarmed and surrounded!" I yelled into my ear piece.
Rage's POV
"Rage I'm unarmed and surrounded!" I heard Loyde's voice from my head set. I quickly dial Blake's line.
"Hello Rage, how may I help you?" he asked.
"Blake, Loyde's in serious danger of being killed," I said looking back at the screen, "he has no weapons and is surrounded," I said worriedly.
"Did you know what was being discussed in the meeting?" he asked not sounding bothered.
"Yes," I said looking back at the computer screen.
"Then leave him there, we already have enough information to progress so why bother yourself and safe a dead man," he said coldly.
I felt a wave of anger flow through me, "why would you say that?" I asked now furious.
I heard him chuckle from the other side, "he's not important anymore, just come back to the base and prepare for your next assignment," he said and cut the line.
I groaned and slammed my fist against the desk, "Rage, I need help!" I heard Loyde's voice from the computer. I suit up and exit the ship.
Loyde's POV
I leaned against a wall for support, holding my bleeding side. A bot approaches me and aims it's blaster at me, "die," it said shooting at me.
I narrowly dodged the shot and countered by throwing my wrench at it destroying it instantly.
A group of bots surround me aiming their blasters at me, "well this couldn't get any better," I said bracing for the shot.
Suddenly, the bots all shut down dropped their weapons. I look around confused, "Loyde, I'm here," said Rage kneeling at my side.
"You saved me," I said looking at him.
"Hey I couldn't let you die," he said smiling at me, "you may be my partner but, you're also my friend," he said patting my shoulder.
I smiled and pulled him into a hug, "thanks man, it means a lot," I said releasing the hug.
"I did not see that coming," he said scratching the back of his head.
"Don't ruin it," I said standing up, "let's get back to the ship.
No one's POV
The ship landed back at the base. Loyde had been put on some Nano Tech treatment along the way so he was fine.
The Duo got off the ship and headed to the control room, "you're back, how was it?" Blake asked ignoring the fact that the duo may be angry with him.
"Blake why the heck did you bail on us like that?" Rage growled causing him to smile.
"You're angry because I told you to let your friend over here die," he said laughing.
"You did what?" Loyde asked visibly hurt.
"I told the little guy to bail on you when you almost died," he said taking placing a cigar at his mouth.
"But why?" he asked now looking a bit angry.
Blake blew out the smoke from his mouth, "I don't really care about you boys," he said facing the computer, "I just hired you guys because I knew that idiots like you would be easy to manipulate," he chuckled.
He turned to face the duo, "now that we have the files on the peace keeper's next plan, you are useless to me now," he said smiling.
Loyde punched him in the face causing him to fall onto the ground.
His guards then aimed at him, "no boys, don't shoot him but just take them to their quarters," Blake said wiping his nose. The robots then tranquilized the duo and took them to their room.
"What happened," Rage yawned waking up from his unconsciousness. He turned to his side and saw Loyde staring out the window.
"Hey man, I understand you're upset but sulking won't do us any good," he said walking over to his friend.
"I've never felt so betrayed," he said fixing his gaze on a bird, "at least not ever since Storm left me," he said looking down.
Rage looked up at him, "I'm sorry man," he said walking back to his bed, "so what are we gonna do?" he asked lying down.
Loyde clenched his fists and turned to face him, "we're breaking out."
