Hirr Pointed  to One Guard,  who was watching  the skyline, trying to  find out where the  shots were coming from, She was  hidden mostly,, by a hover  car.

   The second  one, closer to the  Main doors  had turned his Group rifle towards   Roy and his group as the were scaling the fence.Go...Young one,, The Male  who is facing across the  way..Kill it. before it  can bring   down any of our  people.. I will Kill the one talking into her mic......GO!

 not  waiting  for an answer, Hirr  crouched down as she sped  towards the   Car, Leaping over the  Hood  and  surprise her female prey, two  gaggers  shaped  like  curved  fands came down as the  woman screamed...but the scream was  short...

  two  big  windows  on Hirr's end of the home shattered  as  sniper  fire  slammed into the  house grade  meta glass, breaking it  and  causing  screams  from within.

 Hemsly's Group   came over the  Fence closer to  Hirr and Yotolia's  side.. Brooks  was on the  COMs..movement behind the homes one or two people   going out the Back way..

 Cross  said,well  spilt  between the Homes, see if we can  run them down..

They was  a louder  sound  from   Zob and  Nifty's  roof a second  later  a  scream was heard  as one of those who ran out   then   back fell with  thier  leg missing from the  thight  down..the scream of  pain and  terror echoed..

......................

 Gresh  said into the OPs  COMs...we have  blocked alrams. but it will only stay that way for 15 minutes, then the  AI will reroute  the  alarms and we cannot stop that...

 NA-CE followed Roy, she got over the fence fairly easily and then got her weapon ready as she waited for their next move.

without a word Yotolia drew her blade from under the hoody and was gone as soon as the order was given, rounding the back of the car before rushing over to her prey reaching him as Hirr dispatched her prey. He was suddenly turning towards Hirr from the loud yet brief cry from the female. Yotolia lept from the shadows and onto his back before he could aim properly and proceeded to stab him in the neck swiftly as her body weight pushed him down

After boosting the others so they could (hopefully) make it smoothly and swiftly over the fence, Roy turned and jumped up, catching the top metal bracing and pulling himself up to catch hold of the spear-tip decorative elements that made up the top section of the fence.  With a hold there, he got a foot up onto the brace and levered himself up to leap over the top and drop to the grass beyond with an easy roll that brought him up in a kneeling position.  "Move on the house...Vaka and Liggins first, Na-Ce and I will provide cover.  When you get in a position that you can cover us, we'll move up to you.  Go, fast!"

  Both  guards  were   down, Hirr  hissed to Yotolia,...Take  Creds... take  weapon if you need one..take enemy COM..might  be useful,,, head
 to  edge  of  window, do not  look in , incase snipers fire.

  From the Home on  'roy's  side". the garage  Door  opens  and  a sleek black  hover car started to  exit  the  Garage.. Nifty called  Zob's name  on the COMs... there were two muzzle flashes, but  only one  'loud' sound, something hit the car's  metal glass  windshield..It must have  been 'fighter grade' as it  only  cracked  a bit.. but something   else  hit  , near the same  spot  , shattering most of the  glass on the  drivers   side, and coating the rest  with Greyish Blood... the   hover     nosed   down  and  ground  across the  drive  way  and  stopped . a  Human looking woman got   ou, scream is she was covered in the Blood. Cros s  dropped her   as his   people   headed   between the homes,  Hemsly broke  off towards  Hirr  and Yotolia,... Brooks  broke   for   Roy's   home..Karson , Cross and O'day, ra ran Between the homes, looking    for the rear  entrances..   O'day  dropped on of the  people who tried to  follow  a person from Hirr's  side.. a  women  was on her knees  crying as she  stood  near  a  body had been dropped  by  zob.  Karson  simply  gunned her  down . Karson, Cross  and Oday, spread  out and had a  semicircle facing towards the  street.

Cross  and  Karson  saw a Muzzle  flash from Lyri's building, and a strangled   scream was hear near the rear Fence..Lirg said...There  are not  any more runners  on outside building...

Zob  said none  on this side....there is  smoke  coming  from the end of the  house, closest to the attached  Garage.. there must be an entrance to the Tunnel  we blew..

 the glass  broke  near the window  by the main doors of that house.. a scream followed by more screams as Nifty said..Dammit!... i Hit the Upper  leg, that mark stood up!..

Lyri came on the COMs,It works..  you shot   something  with  that hole puncher.. those in side  see the Blood  and damage makes  them terrified.. between that  and the loss  of that tunnel..they should be getting really scared, the  Bodies in the back yard   helps too... Shoot anything that moves in those windows..

At Taht Moment , floodlights came on around the houses... Lyri   Took one out  Close to Hirr... Hirr  used  her SMG  to  take out the  Middle on.. Cross and O'day too out   lights  on  either house   that covered the 'middle'  Zob took out the Light  hear  Roy's team at the end on the street  side. that  covered the  area  between the homes  and the street..

Lt Cross  called out. Purposefully, not using the COMs...DAMN NICE OF THEM..HELP LIGHT UP THE AREAS..NO WAY PEOPLE CAN ESCAPE NOW!

When Vaka and Liggins were in place, Roy moved up, angling for the garage.  He had some ideas...but first he had to see if there were extra power cells there.  If not...well, it wouldn't be the first time he'd improvised...

 NA-CE Could  see  people moving  around  it the  House that was  closest to the Hull. Some one flipped  a couch over , to  try  to cut  down on the  View    from the  windows   The  was a  bit of glass shattering, and scrams  of  Fright but not  pain.  She  saw  Roy try to  get to the garage.

 As Roy  made his  way a shot  from deep in the garage  snaped out.. Roy was hit, but in the leg, it  didn't seem  too bad, more of a surprise.  a shot. that had to be from Nifty, since the rifle  was a bit more quiet, it  the  second car in the garage,  there was  swearing from inside  and a burst of   automatic   spayed  out, not really coming close to anyone.

Nifty said..two different colored  bursts ,,a rifle or carbine..the other  an  SMG..I'm saying at least two people in there..

............

Hirr    rolled  a  grenade to Yotolita ,Throw  in window  as  i fire...  Hirr stood  up  and  fired   two burst into the  remains of the Galls..more  shouts  and screams  from within..

.............

Out  back there  were  weapons   fires..but they were   quick and short... Cross   could be heard on the COMs  saying  ' Dumbasses '.

 Hemsly  reached the front  door  of the  house  that  Hirr and Yotolita were at.. he set charged on either  side of the  doors  and one in the Middle.. he  then hustled   back to the  car closest to the door.

 lIggins  and Vaka   fired  some  rounds  into the   picture  window   of  Roys  Building.. there  was a bright  flash from  the   upstairs over top of the  living room. Liggion  cried out  and   Pain.. Vaka tried to search the two smaller  windows   as he moved to Liggins... but a loud round and  quiet round. zipped into  each   window , a Voice  screamed.. Vaka   called  softly into the  COMs..we need a med tech!

"Rat bastards..." Roy grumbled.  The time for speed was over, it was time for firepower, now.  He pulled out one of the machine pistols as he angled to put structure between himself and the car, creeping up to the corner.  "I'm going around the corner...anyone pokes a weapon out, put a round through them," he said into the comm, before he dropped to a crouch, grimacing as the move pulled at the tender spot created by the hit he'd taken. It didn't seem to be bleeding...or, at least, not yet, so he pushed it to the back of him mind.

He spun around the corner on one knee, staying low and banking on the idea that whoever had taken the panicked shot that hit his leg wouldn't have the presence of mind to watch for someone coming around the corner with their center of mass lower than usual.  The muzzle of his weapon would have been visible just a fraction of a second before he came far enough around the edge to see what he was shooting at, but the moment his eyes fell on the car, he pulled the trigger, spraying .30cal rounds into the vehicle in a gesture that was part being thorough and part overkill in response to getting shot.

 NA-CE followed and stayed with Roy, she opened fired when she had a target but she stayed behind cover when she could. Then the call over the comms came Liggins was hit and Vaka called for a medic. NA-CE first said to ROY," Are you ok do I need to check you out before I had over to Vaka and Liggins?"

Yotolia nodded to the first order, patting the body down for any valuables before grabbing the riffle, she was just hoping for a grenade when Hirr rolled her one, and with a smile, she grabbed it up and held the pin waiting for the signal, and as soon as the shots were fired she tossed the grenade into the window then ducked behind the wall covering her sensitive ears.

     there  was  swearing from the Garage.. one  voice..sounded aliean,. called for the door  to be open  another    frired from the back 0of the  car.. rounding   zipping around   Roy...



damn door  is   too low  for me to get a shot  deep  enough... Nifty  said..a second later   there  was  a  chunk of  metacrete cracked  from the round, juast a yard inside the door...

 ...
 Yotolia's grenade went Off, Now there was  screams  of  pain and fear

Twitch's  small voice  came on the COMs...The  black Vans  dropping down from the  traffic  stream.. I think they might have  Help coming in..

Hemsly said..we got these  cars  oput here... be nice  if them folks didn't have anyone to save.

Roy was getting annoyed by the persistence of the panic-fire coming back at him.  He ducked back around the corner to replace the spent magazine with a fresh one.  "Hardly a scratch, go help someone who really needs it!" he said to Na-Ce.

When he poked around the corner the next time, he had a different tactic in mind...

He focused his fire on the most likely location of the power cell.  He might regret it...an explosion this close would be like getting kicked in the chest by a horse, but he hoped the house would contain the blast and channel it out the open door and back into the house through the door at the back.  But he didn't have a good shot at the jackass in the back of the car that kept shooting back at him.  Prone to the ground this time to present the smallest possible target and expose himself to the least concussion if his plan worked, he pushed out to get a clear angle of fire, pumping rounds into the structure of the car, and then rolled back out of the line of fire.

  Rounds  slammed into the  car in to  Garage. The Power cells  were normally  set in the   middle ,between the  driver and  the  passenger  seat, up front.

Roy could see the tell tale  lit  blue   smoke from a  'cooking' , damaged  powercells

 ..........

 Hemsly  smiled  at   Yotolia  and Looked over at Hirr..Hemsly was grinning, Hirr tilted her  head  and  , then  ducked... Hemsly   triggered the    door charges. The Explosion was  big and  Ground  shaking, the  door  fragments  and  frame   where Blowen inside like  some Massive shotgun  Blast

 the closest Van  seemed to  want to land between the houses,   and the  concussion caught the diver  by Suprise ,  sending  it  into the   end ( living  room)  wall of the  Roy's  Building  Cross   ha d  his people drop to the  ground, looking like dead  folks.

 Lyri   said... Hey Ornage Temper...use that  portable cannon on those other   three  Vans... Lirg  will  as well.. Nifty..you and   I keep looking  for bad  guys to pop.

Yotolia quickly drops her hands from her ears to the rifle after the door is blown and checks its safety before looking over to Hirr, signaling she was ready for her next task, pointing the rifle a bit towards the door just in case anyone was about to run out the door.

"Hey, one of you with the shoulder cannons...see if you can put a round or two through the power cell in this vehicle.  I think I've cracked it, but it's taking its time cooking off and I'm sick of these assholes shooting at me.  You may not be able to see the back seat, but if you can blow the cell, it doesn't matter who's in the back seat..."

He swapped magazines again, grousing to a dead mic, "I shoulda brought some grenades..."  He'd thought about it...but it seemed a little too "Shadow" for the kind of operation he was hoping to run.  He was paying for it now...

 Nifty  COMed  back .Big Guy has  that  corner.. we'll switch. I'll try to  shoot  them Vans..

   The Second  Van dropped down  in the 'back yards. Not  taking notice  of the  few bodies  back there,  The  Back opened , the   doors  opened. 6  Black  suited  troops  began to run to 'Lyri's  house'   they  made it about  half way , when cross  Karson and  O'day stood Up and  fired  their  SMGs  the  other  two Vans  split to the east and  west.  The   one  to the east   hovered over the wall  where the   ground ha d  sunk in from the  tunnel blast.

 Nifty  laughed, swung his  rifle   to  the  east, waited  a  Heart  beat  and  Fired, flingers  moved   like a humming bird , racked  another  shell and   Fired a again... The  Van  jerked a little...

Brooks  , who was   at the other end  of Roy's car   working to make a   pair of  cricket Balls  for   Roy...you missed?

 wait for it....

  the  nose of the  van  started to nose   down..slowly at first...then faster..  then something started  to make the   van rolled  halfway, the drivers  door  opened  and a headless  body  fell  dropping like a rag doll  into the  'crater'.. the  sideways   van dropped    down about  3   feet short of the Garage  and Blew up, sending  shards and Bodies .. flames did  start to Lick up the  east end of the garage  wall.

  Karson  had  Move d away..Bleedin'  kids! he handed  Roy the two   cricket  balls right?... No   use the left   button for this ball..and the right..no ..wait..the other.. gods  be damne dkid  droppign vans  down on us.. Just throw  both the  damn things  and hit  both buttons!

Vaka  yealled into the COMs. I...I  stopped the  blood... she need help!

 NA-CE nodded at Roy and replied," Ok Roy I will be right back." She then made her way to Vaka and the injured trooper, she would get her gear out and go to work," Ok where were you hit?"

   Liggins  was  pounding the  grass,My thigh..left...it was  a hard  round..

 Vaka   wiped his hands on the grass, then  brought up his weapon to cover them.the  Bullet went through,, i tried to stop the blood..i was goign to faom it, but i was  afraid of  debris...if it would have been a regular battle  filed  i would have

"Listen, Kid, next time you decide to get artistic with a vehicle, make sure none of your people are near the crash radius, okay?  If that thing had circled in the other direction and been a few meters further out, I wouldn't be here anymore to bitch at you about almost getting me killed.  Got it?"

He rolled his eyes slightly at Karson's instructions...he had no intention of throwing it.  That would look too much like a grenade, and the guys in the vehicle might try to escape.  Instead, he leaned over far enough that he could reach around the corner and rolled the thing like a croquet ball, sending it on its way with a practiced flick of his wrist.  He repeated it with the second ball, waiting a couple of seconds for it to roll in as far as it was going to go, and then mashed his thumb down across both buttons, rolling away from the opening as he did.  The last thing he needed was to have the mouth of the garage collapse on him, what with two 'cricket balls' AND at least one damaged power cell inside.  He was not going to get buried in a pile of rubble...

 Nifty   was  quiet for a space,sorry  Big S... how  did  i know   two guys without heads  could  dive bomb you?

  If he was going to say more , there was no chance  , the  Garage  Blew up  as if a  Torpedo ship  nailed it  , with a direct hit. The  additions   vanished  in   wood, metal and mortar .  Karson  and   Roy    huddled behind the   car  in the drive  ways, for a second  it  threatened to flip over   on them but slammed back   down, the   whole passenger  side  burnt to add  to the   Pusle   impacts and hard ammo  holes

    The remaining  Air  van  started  to  veer  away,  Lirg  swung his   rifle  and  fired  as  quickly as his claws   cloud   slam a new  round into the chamber..  Four  shots.. 4  hits.. two   in the front passenger  side.. two in the box in the rear.. the Van was  going down towards the   Hull  behind the   homes,  it was out of  control, slamming into the    fence   and  stopped  by the Hull, the  back doors  flew opened in impact , tossing   6  Bodies  out  that  hit  , bounced  and didn't  move.

  from Inside the Building  that  Roy just blew  up the garage, a  voice, the husky sound  of a Roussian ,Are you all Mad!... the organization will kill you and your families!

  O'day ran to the   scattered bodies  in the back  and put a round   with his sidearm in each head, as he gathered  weapons  ,m power cells  can creds.

 one person took the bait  to step out the door to try to Kill O'day,  Cross made her  headless in a second.

 Hirr  gave Yotolita    a motion with her  hand    to 'sit  tight.. the  furniture  was  burring from the grenade  blast, it would not be long before  the people inside had to make a choice...Yotolia  , did  see  a  human pointing a  Pulse rifle  in their  direction as he was on the  floor  peeking out of the   burning doorway.

NA-CE checked out her thigh and see if the bullet went through or was still in her leg. NA-CE worked as quickly as sge could to remove the bullet if she had too and patch her leg up.

 Ok doesn't look to bad let's get you fixed up. NA-CE also gave her some pain meds but she could still fight using them.

Yotolia signaled Hirr, of the human she could see, and motioned for Hirr to step back before taking the neck of her riffle into the paw and raising it towards the man before taking a shot at him and pulling herself back against the wall quickly.

Roy shouted back.  "Who do you think sent us?!"  He could have added more...he, for one, didn't have a family left so it would be pretty damned difficult for anyone to kill them.  But he was there to kill people and create doubt, not tell his life story.

"If he shouts back, see if you can keep him talking," Roy said to Karson.  Machine pistol in one hand and the Verian hold-out pistol in the other, he pushed himself up into a crouch and moved closer to the house, angling to see if there was a clear path through the ruins of the garage, or if he'd have to locate some other way inside.  He didn't want to actually enter the residence, if he didn't have to...just get a clear shot at whoever was inside yelling out.

  The Voice  came  back.. there  were Moans of pain , and the sounds  of  women crying.. if this is a power play , you're timing is off. Rumor  has    it that the Delta Fleet is coming in next week... you should have waited  until they took  people out , for you to make your move!

Karson yelled back,The delta Fleet, they  just step on Maggots... We   are just collecting debts.

 Roy  could see the   wood/metal  doe  to the hose from the   Garage  was batted    and leaning  in.. several  chunks  blown  out  , giving  some  p[roetection. any one who wanted in would have to   fight the ruined door.

 Roy saw  the top half  of the  guy who was shooting   at him ..the dead stare, and  blook from his mouth and  nose, the  bottom half of his  body had  been pinched off  , by the hover   car slammed into him  another hand near  the  door  peeked  out from debris.

 ...
 Yotolita    heard the    Human  yell in pain..but no other  noise. after her  shot.  Hirr  opened up  with  Burt  that dropped a woman who tried to run past the window, cause  more screams  from inside the  building

Roy muttered into his comm, "Hey, Switch...got any more of those softballs handy?"  He didn't want to advertise where he was--hence the muttering--and he was aware that someone could be monitoring their comms.  Not likely, as they'd seen no evidence of anyone approaching Beth's level of competence...but it was still possible.  And as such, he didn't want to tip their hand.

"I've got what's left of a door, just begging to be relocated..."
