"Everyone keep your eyes peeled...We can not be spotted otherwise we will be swarmed." Drakar spoke into his COM, which went into Anden's Swamp Trooper Armor. Blaze took point, Goshin center, and Anden was back. Backpedaling slowly to meet the pace of his group, heat sensors picked up nothing in his visor but a few bugs and the two men near him. A DC-15A Rifle was in his hands, and was gently aimed at nothing, the DC-15S Blaster Rifle was attached to his belt, while his two pistols were on his hip.

The first minute of walking greeted nothing but silence and jungle. If the Scout Parties were coming, they would not know these three were here. Anden wondered how Omega Team was doing, if they ran into trouble they would not have as much cover as Alpha, they only had two, as Alpha had three. Supringly enough, Anden was the only one in his Squad that didn't have a E-11 Blaster, he hated those pieces of crap they didn't have aim, or repeating fire. The old DC models were much better, they had aim and reliability. And, if you miss your first shot you can shoot again without a blaster bolt in your chest.

A good twenty-nine minutes later Alpha Squad had made progress. They suddenly reached a speeder bike, they all took cover. Looking through his Electrobinoculars Anden saw one scout, that was it. Raising his DC-15A Rifle he aimed it at the scout, he would not shoot-but him, and his gun-were camo, they could not be seen by the naked eye. Suddenly, the roar of two speeder bikes came to their ears. And the two speeder bikes that they had been hearing ripped through the forest, two scouts on each. Now there were five scouts, but these speeder bikes parked next to the one that was there. They all started to converse.

Anden quickly sent a message via COM. It was five clicks. click, click, click, click, click. This meant open fire, two  clicks meant that this was ok. All of the squad raised there weapons, Blaze moved past, and into the brush. Drakar began to kneel, for Anden would attempt to draw them to him. The trap was set.

Putting down his weapon, he walked out, hands up. "Please don't hurt me!" Were the words Anden spoke, the scouts turned at him, they did not have their weapons raised just yet... that was their mistake.

"Halt," the de facto looking leader said to Anden. "What buisness do you-AH!" Anden threw a thermal detonator into the midst of scouts, they were away from the Speeder Bikes now. He took cover as Blaze and Drakar jumped out of nowhere and began to fire, the thermal detonator detonated and didn't kill anyone, only harming the leader. Blaze began to reek havoc in the midst of confusion, while Drakar jumped into the fray and slung his vibroblade around, hitting one over the neck-he wasn't dead just yet. Then a shot with his E-11 claimed that life.

"I can see a gleam of white, you would think that these guys would try some sort of camo armor." Wild heard Goshin say from where he crouched. "It looks like there are 6, 4 on speeders, 2 not, but there could still be another, out patroling where we are."

"I don't think that the lone one, if there is one, is going to be more of a threat to us than these guys, i mean if we can't even hear the engine, than a: there is no loner, or b: its to far away to worry about right now." Wild stated matter of factly, motioning for them to move on.

"Your right, let's go." Goshin said as he stood up.

As they moved on, Wildstorm took her helmet off to quickly adjust her bionic ear to let in more sound just as a precaution. She put her helmet back on and regripped her E-11. The sounds of the engines were looming closer. Goshin's head suddedly shot up. She too heard an engine roar, getting louder and louder. She dived left, into the cover of some large but young saplings, trying her best not to be seen. A few meters away, Goshin was doing the same with a bit less cover. Goshin looked at Wild, she knew what he was thinking so she gave the ok after all he was equiped for the shot and not her. The speeder had paused. Goshin let off one shot, at the scout's head. The scout fell from the speeder with a thump in the undergrowth. Wild winced that was going to draw unwanted attention but she decided to go with the flow.

"Cursed, Drakar, Blaze, we've run into a patrol, six persons Goshin just took out a scout. We are about to engage stand by." Wild clicked through her comm. She had already begun to fire at a scout without a speeder. She noticed that Goshin pulled out a C-22 Fragmetation grenede, and watched as he threw it. The scout on one bike jumped off, but Wild's shot caught him in the neck. The other was killed by the grenede, along wtih both bikes. Goshin then started firing.

By now there was only one left. In which together they shot down.

"Did you get hit." Wild asked looking Goshin over.

"Yeah, one got me in the knee, but my armor got most of it, what about you?" Goshin said looking down at his knee and back up and around.

"I'm fine, i had alot more cover than you." Wild responded smiling. You got lucky that wasn't a killing shot." She said getting a better look at the scorch mark.

"Yeah, i know." Goshin said shrugging.

They both stood up Wild admired their work, Then they ran off towards the base.

"Guys we took out six scouts, one patrol down how are you guys on your end?" She asked as they moved forward still on the look out for another patrol.

The two other Trainees with Anden-Drakar and Blaze-charged the group of militia men. Anden stayed back, aiming his DC-15A Rifle, unknown to Drakar was that a man was coming up behind him as he blasted the milita with his shotgun. The man that was coming up behind him raised a blade, two shots aimed at his head decapitated him.

"Hands!" Anden heard a noise from behind him, turing it was a man accompanied by three other all held blasters. "Now, drop the weapon!"

"Ok," Anden dropped his DC-15A Rifle. It had a loud clang hitting the ground. Moving into the group with his hands up, he got on his knees and let his hands fall, and then touching the blade of his vibroknife.

"Ok, one, two, three-No!" The leader screamed as the vibroknife was launched from Anden's hand into his jugular, blood began to squirt everywhere. The stunned people accompanying the man recovered quickly to what they had just experienced. So had Anden, pulling out his two Pistols he shot twice at the man closest to him-killing him. Moving around one of the other men hit his O-6 Blaster Pistol out of his hand, and grabbed his S-5 Pistol. The other man kicked Anden in the spine, causing Anden to charge the man that was holding his S-5 Blaster. Moving around the man by dropping his pistol he picked up his DC-15S and tibanna gas left the blaster, killing the man. One was left, he charged Anden quickly and knocked him off his feet. They began to roll, the slope they were on was about to come to an end. Grabbing a passing tree Anden held on for his life. So did the man, Anden's feet were the man's life.

"No! PLEASE! I will tell you were our transport his!" The man said, as Anden looked at the man.

"What kind of transport? Is anyone guarding it?" Anden asked the man, "And is there any way I can secretly get into your base?"

"It is a LAAT Infanty model, it has no one guarding it. Give my your data map and I can point it out for you!" Anden handed the man the pad. "Here!"

He had pressed a location of clear land about a fourth of a mile away. Now holding on with only one hand Anden said, "Thanks, but sorry, no thanks." Anden shot his DC-15S Rifle one handed, killing the man and letting him let go of his feet. The man fell from the slope, pancaking on the ground below.

"I better get to this transport." Anden moved up the hill, he could not see his squad anywhere. Grabbing his Pistols, and all of the other weapons he lost, picking the knife out of his jugular he ran to in the direction of the transport. Moving over a hill the man was right, no one was guarding it. The white LAAT hovered above the ground. Moving over to it on the lowly cut grass Anden hopped up into it, and then moved over to the upper Pilots chair. Getting inside he clicked the controls and began to fly, he was looking for his squad.

The control screen in front of him displayed COM Signals. And the COM Channel read 604.8281.019129.AB91.01 and it had the Chat of the base and everything else that was happening. Not caring about this COM Channel he remembered the code, but he typed in his Squad COM Code. And picked up the signals.

"Alpha Squadron, Omega Squadron I am breaking Communication Silence. Does anyone of these two Squadrons copy me, I repeat-" Anden spoke into the COM that was connected wirelessly.

"This is Alpha Squadron, please give your name." It was Drakar.

"Alpha Squadron this is ACB. I am heading to your location."

"What..." Drakar said, not knowing he was in the transport. Anden swooped down to the location Drakar and Blaze were, half a click away. They stood there, in awe at the transport.

"Welcome," Anden said, landing the transport. "Hop in, Blaze take one of the Composite-beam Turrets. Drakar do you mind taking the back turret." Anden spoke into his COM, and all this was relayed over his COM. They all had their affirmatives and entered. Now just to find Omega Squadron.

"This is Alpha Squadron, please give your name." said Drakar.

"Alpha Squadron this is ACB. I am heading to your location."

"What..." Drakar said, not knowing he was in the transport. "How in the world did he get a transport?" he thought to himself.  Anden swooped down to the location Drakar and Blaze were, half a click away. They stood there, in awe at the transport.

"Welcome," Anden said, landing the transport. "Hop in, Blaze take one of the Composite-beam Turrets. Drakar do you mind taking the back turret." Anden spoke into his COM, and all this was relayed over his COM.  Drakar was somewhat relieved he was not asked to be the copilot seeing as how he was a little unsure of his ability to fly, but extremely confident in his firing capabilities. They all had their affirmatives and entered. Now just to find Omega Squadron.

When Anden finally found Omega team they were coming out of cover from the trees.  Luckily Drakar noticed a clearing just wide enough for the transport to drop in so he showed it to Anden who landed the transport perfectly. 

When Wildstorm got onboad she took a quick glance at everyone onboard seemingly trying to get her bearings and then walked up and sat in the co-pilot seat.  Goshin boarded without a word and immediately grabbed the left side Composite-beam turret.

Sarcasticly Anden broke the silence asking Wildstorm,"Hello again. How you guys this fine evening?".  Drakar figured Anden had his usual smirk on his face while he was asking it and waited to see if Wildstorm would hit him.  Wild responded, but didn't give the reaction that Anden wanted so he quickly lifted off the ground. 

As the LAAT was flying Drakar noticed a scorched mark on Goshin's knee and thought to himself,"I bet that hurt.  I wonder if they had more action than we did?".  While Wildstorm and Anden came up with the plan Drakar checked all of his weapons in order to keep them in prime condition for combat.  He knew that the worst part of the mission was yet to come and the forest while hard was the easier part.  His thoughts were broken when Wildstorm said, "I say Goshin and Drakar go for the frontal assault. You, Blaze and I can go around the back. I'm pretty sure one of those key cards you have will open the doors. What do you think?"  Drakar nodded in sinc with Anden.  He was hoping that he would get the chance for more combat. 

"Ok, here's the plan," Cursed started. "We're splitting into two groups again. Drakar, Goshin you two will attack the base from the front of the bunker. It may or may not be heavily guarded so be careful. Goshin it looks like you came pretty close to being out of the game before try to be more careful, ok?"

"Cursed, Blaze and I will take the back. Again we will have to be careful as well as we know that on Endor the Rebels attacked from the back of the Imperial base there. They may expect us to do the same. That is why we are splitting up. If one group is compromised the other can continue on with the mission." Wild stopped for a moment. "Drakar you have a key card it may help you to get in the front. Cursed and Blaze also have one so we shouldn't have any problems either."

Blaze looked at the map for a moment and nodded. "I understand. I noticed something else with what you just said." He pointed at his map. "If we attack from two fronts we can effectively split their forces in half and take them out as we move through the bunker."

Drakar and Goshin nodded in understanding. "Everyone turn your comm links on. we should all stay in constant contact." Goshin said turning his own back on. He gave a nod and a thumbs up.

"Well everyone here we go. We're almost done lets get it done so we can all get a decent meal and a hot shower." Drakar said motioning to Goshin to follow. They didn't have very far to go to the front of the base. "You guys let us know when you're ready to attack." Drakar said over his shoulder as he exited.

Once Drakar and Goshin were off the LAAT they jumped behind some trees.  Drakar looked at the entrance and noticed that there was a band of guards on the left and right of the front steps.  "Why would they need ten soldiers at the front gate unless they knew we were coming?" Goshin said.  Drakar nodded in agreement and said ,"Maybe one scout was able to radio to alert the base of our presence."  He figured that the only way to get by the guards was to split the group of ten down to a smaller number.  While Drakar and Goshin waited behind cover waiting on the signal from the rear attack Drakar looked down at the datapad with the map on it.  Pointing to it, he showed Goshin that there was three security checkpoints inside the base immediately following the entrance to the base.  "I say me and you each take a side and just do our best to make it to the front gate, what do you think? If either one of us makes it through their side of the guards first they can act as a flanker to the opposite side."  "Do you think we will be able to take on 5 guards individually?" said, Goshin questioningly.  Drakar sighed and said, "Hopefully".

The two each went their individual way sneaking around using trees as cover to get as close to the base as possible before starting their attack with the rear attackers.  Drakar headed to the West side while Goshin went East.  As Drakar settled into position waiting on the signal he thought to himself, "This is it, this could make or break our mission.  You have to succeed, failure is not an option.  You have the necessary skills to achieve your goal now it is just the matter of putting them into action." 

Upon hearing the "Go" from the rear attacking group, he grabbed his E-11 and immediately started firing into the group.  Now he held it firmly in his grasp in order to be more accurate.  As he ran and fired he lost all emotion and sense of thought, every action he did was out of reflex.  His initial firing managed to take down one guard, but missed the others.  As he closed on them he could see the anger in their faces.  When he was about three feet from them he grabbed his Vibroblade and began to sling it around.  Through all the clashing of metal and the wild fire from the guards Drakar could hear Goshin experiencing the same type of situation on his side.  He managed to kill two more.  Now there was only two remaining.  Each of them grabbed their swords and began to twirl them around with great fluidity and skill.  Inside his helmet Drakar was sweating profusely and raised his eyebrow at the guards who were still swinging their blades around.  In one swift motion he jumped and fell backward to his back while firing two quick shots from his shotgun.  The lifeless bodies fell to the ground with a loud thud.

As Drakar and Goshin battled their way to the entrance he could tell that Goshin was enjoying what he was doing. When the two met at the front gate he realized that someone else in the squad enjoyed the ability to take another person's life just as much as he did.

At the entrance there was an access panel with a bunch of different buttons, Drakar used the access card he had picked off of one of the patrols to open the door. It opened and much to their surprise a guard was standing with his back to where they were standing. "What the..?", said the guard right before Drakar and Goshin shot him once each in the chest.

Drakar looked down at his map once again to try and get his bearings of what would come next in the base.  He pointed to the first security check point.  "I bet there is no more than 3 of them at this one since there are two more check points right after." said Goshin in which Drakar nodded with agreement.  "I say we go in there guns blazing because they will be in shock for a couple seconds which will give us enough time to take advantage of their mistake." said Drakar.He pumped his shotgun to prime it for the next combat situation while at the same time reloading his pistol.  Once they reached the checkpoint Drakar noticed that Goshin had been right in his estimation because there were only three guards, one was a screener and the other two had hand wands. 

As the sound of someone running in the base drew closer to the guards they began to look at each other with a curious look on their faces when suddenly a smoke grenade came flying in the room instantly filling the small room with a white cloud.  Drakar had been running ahead of Goshin so he pulled out his shotgun and began to fire and pump it into the smoke.  After three shots he heard one man hit the ground while another was only yelling in pain.  Goshin and Drakar each took out the last two guards standing with the hand wands with their vibroblades.  "Well that was pretty easy........one down two to go." said Drakar.  Then they headed for the next two checkpoints.

They next two checkpoints went by in a blur due to the fact that they were so much closer together than the first had been and only had two guards at each station. 

"Now we can finally start trying to locate and eliminate our target", said Drakar.
