HANGER DEC # 10
Roll nods ,..you bet Mr SM... Gregor and me will keep them safe! he tried to look impressive. Gregor Titled his head, thumping his tail.
The Admiral was atop the Stairs and Called for everyone's attention as screens flickered on tot eh Fleet...
..This is the next...and maybe, final.. step in securing the Udenese Space, and the protection of Calimate... Vera his backed to the wall... every one of us out there know how we would feel, if our home world would be invaded..... Nivar..was more of a Civil war.... Astra was a colonization with us fighting those who got there first, and didn't accept us .. Bura, was a attack-in-aid. Aqra, was flat out removal of Empire assets .
This is what we are doing here... I have no doubt, that Verians will settle with Uden. But
not until we remove the Evil of the Empire, and those who take....
I? Am not a 'kind man'.... I have ..NEVER.. turned the other cheek. You hurt me and mine... you will pay of it..in Spades... he looked around, Found Roles next to Shadow and Nodded to him,..we are in Total War... it has been such, since before we stepped into The Black.... but..we are showing the Empire, that such a type of war is a two edged sword....The Suicide attack on The Hermes, sacrificed lives of those , who...had little choice but to follow the directive.... and we were saved by a ship that ...CHOSE... to do about the same thing to save us....
..for that act alone... Vera will pay... In a Moment....Beth will open the link , one last time, to see what Vera will do.. After that... Vera will become a practice ground, for what we will do to Hel when we get there....
He waved to Beth... and the screen flickered to Life..Adem was dressed in Verian Heavy Armor..Evert could be seen talking to , what appeared to be' officers in the back round.
Hack?.. I am to take it, this is my 'last chance?"
Hack nodded,aye, it is..... I will not fault any choice you make....should you give yourself up for your people..would be noble... to allow us to continue this invasion, might get you some form of satisfaction..but.... You will end up the same way... I would fight .. and that is a fact.. to say anything else would be a lie.... I do not know how deep a verian ruler feels for His Planet and people
Adem nodded slowly, his face seemed Calm, yet sad... we found some infestation on Vera... Occui?... Dirty little creatures... hiding in the forests and Mountains.. They like to use these on Us... he held out a Metal Disc that had a small red ball on it. ..this attaches to a Verian, and goes off..almost like Your Disc... Shadow?
Shadow grinned darkly at him.
He points to Shadow and nods as Shadow's good humor.yea?..it seems funny, does it not... well? when it goes off.. it Burns hotter the a Cap ships thrusters.. it will Burn a verian to molten flesh and bone in a few seconds.., there is. no 'save'... the Verian burns until they are dead.. all others can do is watch...
Supe yells out,..where can i get some!
the Dec LAughed ..Morris gave Supe a shake of his head.
Adem smiled slightly, but it was plain to see he was, deeply troubled...Shadow?... Anyone ever tell you what happens to a Verian when they choose the path of 'download'?
Folks looked confused.. Shadow said,Lady said, if they resided too long in one machine, they could never be removed
..That is correct.... But..The Body is stored, in case that Verian wishes to come back.... Lady... did not.... we...Evert and Myself.... wanted to bring LAdy's Body back...we wanted to transfer Dusk into her...but we couldn't, and ..by then Dusk wanted to leave..and Go back to you and the Fleet.... We wanted to Try to Put Shade into her body, but you would not allow us to even try.... instead... you keep him in his broken form..
There are blares and sounds from Shade that sounded like train wheels locking up on the tracks.
..I assume he learned that lanaguage from being around you....Shadow...
Can we speed this up?... I ahve pilots here waiting to chew up your excuse for a air wing...
Indeed... we can see the stars vanishing as the fleet... You will find Vera..not an easy planet to take.... but.. For Shadow..and Litlit...and your two mongral Offspring I have this to show you....
Evert and two Generals pull something forward, and swing it up, There is the 'resting' Body Of Lady...
..This... is what she looked like Shadow..... I do not know if you knew , or not...
Adem smiled, the smile was dark, full of as much hate as any one being could muster...
Shade ran up to Shadow ans looked up at the screens...bo one knows if you can take this world, or... kil me in the taking...
I do....we will....
He Nodded,..Then watch... Shadow, and your Spawn... because we will never let you have her!
Adem slammed the Disc on 'lady's' belly, and the white hot fire started instanly..... Blue-green flame s Flowed over the passive female body .. as Evert and Adfem looked on in glee...
Shade screamed out a Long sound. and Shadow hugged him...but he stared PAssively.. only the darkening of his eyes betrayed his anger.. as a tear from each eye...
Lady Died on Bura... killed by a coward and a traitor.. you?.. are even less of an organizm ... you destroy the body of your Daughter?... and take pleasure in it.. My..kids?.. their Mother was a fighter... in form..and in spirit.. She got that from Lilit's side.... she is gone... you destroyed, nothing but a husk...and empty container.
Shade Looked up A Shadow's words, he straightened hismslf and glared back at the screens.
..I won't get to kill you.. you and Evert will be hiding , until troopers corner you and kill you.... maybe and Occui will find you?..But if one of you wanna
come up and try to knock me out of the sky...be my guest..Light blue/bark Blur
Mantis with a White tail fin and a #19..no one else has a white tail fin...I'm goign to kill alot of Verians today, be damn nice if at least one of you were there..
..Vern nice , Adem..great, last act of defiance ... but if you think things were goign to be bad before.... wait....
Evert asks,..there is a demonic Med tech ship coming, will you let it have safe passage..to aid our Non-combatants?
Hack smiled darkly.....ask LAdy.. if she tell me to show some mercy.. maybe i'll take it into consideration... goodbye..Adem....
Shade glowered at the Black screen.. he gave Shadow one more Hug , then stomped towards his shuttle...
..LC?
Shadow turned to the Deck...... nothing that happened..changes anything, except this..... do not honor any surrender Lights... The beach heads will be at the southern end of both plains.. and North of the Mountain estate... if you have to POD out.. head to the Yellow smoke the beach heads will keep going until this is over.... when in doubt..make sure of a Kill when you can..but make sure you protect your flight mates... Saddle Up..... form Up above the Hermes... we'll head down when the Admiral orders us down..Good Hunting....
the pilots ran to thier aircraft.. whoops and shouts as the Mounted up
Maxie looked even more scared as Shadow jumped on his wing and caught the head gear Argie threw at him.
Shadow gave the Dec Boss a salute, sliiping out into the Balck before hitting hsi thrusters... One by one B- flight left..then A flight, then each in order after...
the Shuttles Launched ... with Mitch following after...
