Ryan sat on his seat, his hand firmly grabbing on to the steering wheels with his head resting on top of it, waiting for the show to begin, a few months ago he would have been scared, he would not lie he was a bit of coward always trying to steer clear of troublesome situations, yet since that day he seemed to be a bit more reckless, not mention he was not acting clearheaded but what was worse was his rather lack of concern when killing a fellow human, it was true he felt dirty and unclean for a moment but the next moment he was acting as if nothing happened.
'Did powers… arghh....', a sudden jolt of pain passed through his head as his vision went blank for a moment before he blinked owlishly.
'Huh, what happened? Do not tell me I fell asleep while waiting for them.', a panicked Ryan turned his head trying to discern something out of ordinary but upon seeing none he relaxed a bit, 'Safe, now if only I could get the part done without any problem, it would be fine.
"Ryan they are here get ready.", Nikita's voice came to his ears as he gripped the steering wheel hard.
Jake narrowed his eyes at the trailer, seeing those turrets above it was a bit intimidating but he had more men with him like the previous time, he knew that there was a chance that it might be set up as such he had brought with him IEDs, that they have found and improved from the now-defunct Air force base.
He turned and nodded at one of his subordinates, who lifted an RPG and was about to pull the trigger when all hell breaks loose, the turrets began to fire, and it tore through their cover, the trees like water through tissue.
The rocket went and hit the tree behind the trailer as it exploded with a large boom.
Dasyra eyes widened at that slightly as she spoke, "What was that?"
Nikita fired at the enemy as she replied to her question, "That my dear is an RPG, an older model as the new models had malfunctioned, it is not so much accurate but you can see that it does not have pinpoint accuracy to do the damage."
Ryan stepped on the accelerator as the trailer lurched forward, as he drove it through the group of his enemies, they tried to scatter, but it proved futile as they were gunned down.
Jake was bleeding from his forehead, although the bullet had missed his head, the same could not be said about the wood chip from the recently torn apart tree that he was using for cover.
An odd mixture of anger, fear and panic rose in his heart as the trailer went past him the only thing he could do was take out the bomb and throw it at the wheels of the trailer, a large explosion rocked the trailer but it did not do much damage.
Ryan let out a curse as he felt the explosion rock the trailer, he knew that his creation would survive but that did not mean that it was not unpleasant, the explosion was big enough to send an unpleasant jolt up his spine, sounds of gunfire ricocheting upon the trailer's body came to his ears, like rain falling on some tin shed.
Another bang was heard from the rear, 'Damn it, focus and drive Ryan, focus and drive, you need to keep it moving at the same time make sure that the two can get as many shots as possible, but what is taking Michalina so damn long, did she finish the mission or not.'
"Ryan, are you alright?", a soft voice came from his radio.
"I am fine Nikita, I am fine."
"I never thought that they would have something that would explode."
"Me neither Dasyra, but we are safe here as Ryan's trailer is stronger, so now focus on your enemies."
Another blast was heard from the front followed by a lot of shouting and cursing from the front.
Nikita's brow furrowed at that as Dasyra immediately spoke through her radio, "Ryan, are you okay? Ryan, please respond."
All she received was some crackling of radio, which made them tensed when all of a sudden Ryan's voice came through the radio, "Sorry the blast took out the window I had to repair it, and oh I am fine, I am totally fine you do not need to worry about anything."
Ryan winced as he spoke, the explosion was huge and the glass was meant for stopping bullets not a powerful explosion an explosion he was sure would have taken out a tank at the very least, his ears were ringing and he was disoriented because of it,
He quickly came to his senses being a bit grateful towards his armour for saving his life, though he did not escape unscathed his ears were ringing and the right side of his head was hurting bad, a few shots went past his head as he lowered his head, and then he raised his left hand, the glass and the broken glass pieces seemed to disappear, as he now raised his right hand rematerializing the bulletproof window shield back in its place as good as new.
As he heard the frantic shouts of his companions he frowned, 'Why am I not able to hear from my right ear, the radio must be damaged from the blast, I will repair it after everything is done.'
As such he quickly replied to the frantic duo, "Sorry the blast took out the window I had to repair it, and oh I am fine, I am totally fine you do not need to worry about anything."
'The plan is bad, uber-bad it is like Michalina was banking on the trailer acting as a tank, not to mention from whatever Ilorva had managed to convey the group had used most of their guns and ammunition and had no fallen back to cold weapons, it would have been easy but then they turned the table on us by bringing an RPG, I hope the other group has better luck than us.'
As time went passed the sounds of enemy guns firing and explosion was cut down drastically, 'Well I kind of worked, though I would have preferred not acting as bait I would like to drive and ram through the gate, but then my trailer would get stuck not to mention the slave pens, innocent would get caught, I wish that the fight would end fast.'
Jake ran from the carnage as fast as he could, the sun was rising in the sky and the dawn would break, at least back at the base he could regroup with the remainder of his people, a couple of them would bound to survive, and he would then think of a way to deal with them, he was sure that having so many hostages would work in their favour, hostage that would work at their command, a small smile graced his lips before his vision went black.
Ashera lowered her bow as she watched her enemy fall with a small smirk on her face as Delimira spoke, "So how does it feel to be awake once again?"
Ashera took a deep breath of air as she spoke with a smile on her face, "Extremely great as if I am reborn again."
"I see", a voice came to their ears as they turned and immediately bowed to the newcomer, who was embroiled in deep discussion with Michalina.
The person was the epitome of breathtaking beauty at the same time graceful as swell she sent a small motherly smile towards them.
"Raise your heads."
At her words, the duo raised their head as Delimira spoke with a smile on her face, "Your Holiness, it is great to see you free again."
Ylerias Luevnari simply stepped forward as she drew Delimira into a hug as she spoke, "I knew you would rescue us, that day when I turned ourselves into stone to prevent us from being harmed I knew you three would help us to be free again."
Delimira blushed before she spoke, "I am ashamed for taking so long."
Ylerias simply smiled at her as she spoke, "Nonsense dear, you did plenty well considering the state of our powers it was done extremely well."
Ylerais looked outside of the base standing on the wall as the first rays of the sunbathed and welcomed them back he stared at the bodies of the captives that were lying on the ground dead, not to mention the terrible explosive sound had stopped for some time now.
"Those sounds of the guns had stopped does that mean they would return?"
"I hope so Your Holiness."
As Michalina replied to her Ylerais gained a spark of excitement in her voice, "Well then I hope to see the various marvels your world has to offer."
Michalina offered her a small smile, for the amount of time she had to spend she had taken an instant liking to Ylerias, she was an extremely kind and understanding woman who was genuinely adored by her people, but at the same time, she was also extremely wary of her when the first time when she opened her eyes Michalina felt as if she was standing in front of some ferocious beast that was about to kill her.
Suddenly the sounds of gunfire began anew as Nikita's frantic voice came to Michalina's ears, "Code Red, I repeat Code Red, Raven down, Raven down request back up. I repeat…shi….~crackle~ ~crackle~"
Blood drained from Michalina's face as Jessica came running towards her while frantically speaking through the radio, "Raven report, Raven come in, Raven Nikita someone come in."
Fear gripped through Michalina's heart as she looked up towards the direction of their trailer which was hidden by the trees, the sound of gunfire had stopped but another sound came to her ears a deep guttural roar.
"Sisters move out.", Michalina bellowed out as she jumped from the ten-foot-tall wall as she took off towards the jungle, with Jessica hotly behind her, and one by one the rest of her team followed.
"Sisters to arms, we cannot let out our rescuers be harmed.", Ylerias bellowed as an ornate bow appeared in her hands as she followed after Michalina and others but unlike others she seemed to have been running on-ear, a sound of a horn being blown came to her ears as the rest took after their Holy lady post haste.
