Chapter 2 - 2.Red planet, Base-850

2) Red planet - Base 580

The battleship that Zane were on travels for two weeks before arriving at their want destination.

"We arrive at the location"

"Call the special combatant units"

Soon, Null, Widow and Sun show up to the control room.

Red planet.

The radio said "Give us your code number"

"Code number 127867"

"... Code confirm. Opening protections shield. Welcome new reinforcement"

5 battleships landed on the surface of the red planet.

As the shuttle opens they are greeted by a commander.

"Solute. I'm commander in command of the units in this planet. Commander Isaac"

"Solute, Commander Isaac. We are the special combatant units and bringing the reinforcement."

"My code name is Null. She is Widow and this is Sun"

The commander gave quite a shock as this was his first time meeting the special combatant units that were so famous for being the elite amongs the elites.

"It is an honor to be working with the special combatant units.... Please follow me."

The reinforcement stays behind just incase of emergency.

As they enter the base Zane ask "Commander is there any enemy activities"

"We had detected a few enemy scouts. But no attack yet"

"Has the other reinforcement arrive yet to their respective planet?"

"We haven't contacted them yet. We will contact them after your arrival here.

"This is the shield generator room and also the main control room"

"Contact the other planet base now!"

"Alright commander"

" Has the reinforcement arrive yet"

"....."

"....."

"Yes. Every reinforcement had arr-"

Suddenly the connection lost.

"Can you repeat that again"

"Zzzzzzz"

"Zzzzzzz"

"Commander the connection with another planet had lost"

At that moment, Widow and Sun look at each other.

"Tell everyone to get ready at the battle station. Tha attack had begun" Zane said to the staff member.

He press the battle station button

A loud siren acho truth out the bases.

"The battle station siren. Everyone get ready"

The whole army prepares themselves and goes inside the battleship.

Soon all 7 battleships are ready to take off.

"Told them to not take off yet"

"... But sir aren't the enemy is on the way?"

"Can you confirm how many enemy battleship were there"

After a scan

"There was a total of 20 battleship sir"

"7 against 20 huh. Let me see their formation"

Zane look at the scan

"a simple triangle attack, 1,2,4,6,7... Send a group of team to search for the communication blocker"

"Sun you stay here and give the command. Widow, you and me will infiltrated their battleship"

The commander was shock "Aren't that a death wish"

"We are at loss in number. If we didn't take a risk we will lose this battle"

"Widow, you infiltrated their 5th battleship and I will infiltrate their 6th battleship. After finish taking down the enemy on the battleship we will blow it up. When that happens, Sun you will command the 7 battleships and attack the remaining 5 in front. The explosion will slow down the battleship behind. After finishing the 5 battleships you will retreat. While on the commotion, Widow and I will infiltrate their back line 8th and 12th battleships and we will repeat the same process and you will attack again. Do you got it!"

Sun nodded. Zane starts to make his way toward his spaceship.

"Sigh, you are as ruthless as ever Null" Said Widow before following Null.

"Huh..... Aren't infiltrating the battleship alone is a crazy Idea?" Said the commander with shock.

Sun who was beside him said "Commander, have you forgotten who we are?"

"I get it but...."

"Just trust us. We know what we are doing"

The commander can't do anything but to accept and trust them.

Null and Widow take a spaceship before heading head on to the enemy battleship.

From the control room "The enemy battleship had send a lot of spaceship to attack you both"

But this didn't bother Null or Widow at all.

Widow said with a smile on her face "Good luck Null"

"You too"

Than they both separated to their target.

A massive amount of spaceships start to attack them.

"Pew" "Pew" "Pew" "Pew" "Pew" "Pew" "Pew" "Pew" "Pew" "Pew" "Pew" "Pew"

But none of the attacks hit them as they dodge the incoming attack without flinching.

They pass the first group of spaceships.

The second wave of spaceships start attacking them but the results are the same as the first one and they pass the first battleship.

The commander can't believe what he witnessed.

"Oh my goodness, how did they even dodge all the attacks!?"

"Hmh. Show off. I can do it too" said sun.

The third wave of spaceships start attacking.

Now the attack is coming from both front and back.

Null and Widow release a device to the outer space.

Suddenly a huge cloud emerges from the device and blocks the views of both parties.

"What was that?" the commander ask.

"A mineral dust. A device that threw out a lot of mineral dust into space that created a cloud. It only lasted for a 20 minutes"

From the cloud Null spaceship amerges and goes straight to the 6th spaceship.

Null spaceship sticks to the wall of the battleship.

"Now it time to work"

The spaceship open the entrance. But the entrance were cover by the battleship wall.

Zane pulls out a metal rod looking thing from his back.

Then, the metal rod made a cross shape and a blue energy sword was formed around the metal rod.

Zane thrust the sword on to the battleship wall.

Slowly he made a circle and made an entrance to the battleship.

"That wasn't so hard"

He enters the battleship and then scans the perimeter.

"The control room should be..... That way"

As he walk he accounter two Krynek.

"Kufghkak"

"Kufghkak"

They start blasting him with an energy gun.

Zane dodge the blast and throws his energy sword toward them.

The sword spins toward the enemy before cutting both of the Krynek heads and pierce the wall.

Zane walks past Krynek dead body and take back his sword.

"Kufghkak!"

A group of Krynek saw him.

Without hesitation he slaughtered them all.

.

..

...

The battleship was finally alert of an intruder.

But by that time they notice Zane already in front of the door to the control room.

"Boommm"

A huge explosion goes off.

The Krynek looks toward the door that is cover with smoke.

Then they saw a blue light slowly coming their way.

Zane finally emerges from the smoke.

The alien inside starts to attack him, but Zane easily dispatches them.

His body is covered with green alien blood.

There is one more Krynek left inside the control room who looks to be the commander of the battleship.

It pick a giant hammer beside him and faces Zane.

Zane and the alien stare each other down before Zane starts attacking.

The alien swung it hammer making Zane stop on his track.

It again swings the hammer left to right, right to left. Zane jumps back to dodge the attack.

As the alien swung the hammer down Zane rushed forward and cut both arms of the Kryenek.

The hammer and the alien fall down.

The Krynek look at Zane with terrified. As it starts crawling away from Zane.

Zane slowly walks toward the crawling Krynek and stabs it with a sword ending the life of the alien.

Zane turns toward the control panel. He scans the panel using his mask and translates the alien language.

Afterward he turned the self destruction and left the control room.

He was then met with a lot more Krynek.

He did not want to waste the time so he kill all of them quickly before going back to his spaceship.

He closes the entrance at the bottom of his ship and leaves the battleship.

"Zzzzz", "Zzzzzz"

"Widow here... Did you finish your job"

"Yes.... You?"

"Same"

"Let's call Sun and start the attack. Then we proceed with the next plan"

"Roger that"

Sun had prepared the rest of the battleship while waiting for the signal to arrive.

Null calling. He pick it up "You can start now"

Sun gives the signal to go and all the battles start going to the alien battleship.

The sound of a bomb beeping in the alien control room can be heard.

The beeping went faster and faster until a long siren was heard.

"BOOOOOOMMMMMM"

the alien battleship exploded creating an explosive wave destroying any ship near it..

Soon followed by another battleship being exploded.

The explosion separated the front row battleship from the larger portion behind.

An opening to attack was created, by the lead of sun, humans started their attack on the invasion flead.

Back toward Zane. With the commotion happening he reached the 12th battleship without the alien noticing.

He does the same exact thing from before.

As he has entered the spaceship.

He is facing off against a special type alien who has a big build, and weaporing an axe.

Zane didn't hesitate at all and charged toward the alien.

Didn't take long before Zane destroy the alien and make his way toward the control room.

He kill all the alien inside and set it on self destruction.

As he make his about to go back to his ship he take a step back went he walk pass a weaponry and treasure vault.

"I still have a few minutes left. Might as well take the opportunity to see what I can use"

He cut the door open and went in.

The gold didn't catch his eyes at all, he only focused on the thing that he can use.

None of the weaponry caught his eyes. But not long after he found something valuable.

An ore. About the size of tennis ball. From the outside it look like a rusted metal but there were more to it.

"Now this is something I could use."

Right after that he reached his ship and left for the saver area.

"Zzzzz", "Zzzzzz"

"This is Null, how your mission?"

"..... I've just finished the job. I'm about to take off.... How is the attack going for Sun?"

"He is doing fine. They successfully destroy the front row battleship and now is retreating."

"Good, let join them and finish this quickly"

"Yeah, yeah"

They ended the call and another two massive explosions took place. The explosion completely seperated the alien battleship from each other.

Sun, who is at the main battleship, sees the explosion and orders to attack the remaining ship.

We managed to destroy nine battleships without taking any casualties yet. Now it was 7 against 11 battleships. We were also in advantage because the explosion separated the alien battleship into three groups. 3 on the right, 3 on the left and 5 on the last row.

So this is what the special combatant units are capable of, if this was me alone I would have never won thid let alone survivr this battle.

Commander Isaac thought.

It then went sun-snap Isaac back to reality.

"Snap" "Snap"

" Huh?" The commander is shocked.

"Commander are you there.....I need you to focus. Take four battleships with you and attack the 3 battleships on the left. The rest 3 battleships will follow my lead to take on the right. Don't worry Widow will assist you."

The call is then closed.

Where is Zane...

*2 day before arriving on the red planet*

Zane was called by the leader.

"I have a new additional mission for the special combatant units. We found out that the Krynek is build a new kind of weapon that could destroy any ship in one go. We need to stop it from being created and do research on it. The mission is if can bring the blueprint of it this mass weapon back. That it, I hope for your success"

*Back to the present*

Zane is sneaking into one of the battleships.

A few krynek passed by but didn't notice him.

I have to sneak into the control room to get the information.

Zane swiftly and quietly makes his way into the control room.

With his quick hand and silince approach, he kills all the aliens inside one by one without alerting the other.

The last krynek head fall to the floor as Zane finish it off.

He turn to the panel and begin hacking into the control panel and start searching for this weapon.

While hacking the door to the control room open up.

A single krynek wearing some kind of special uniform enter the control room.

From the look at it, it was the captain of this battleship.

The krynek saw all the dead body on the floor and look toward Zane who on the panel.

The krynek sounds the alert of intruders. Now the entire battleship is fill with thw sound of siren and the white light of the room change to blue.

Zane left his watch to finish transfer the data while he will face off against this krynek captain.

Zane pulls out his sword and the krynek pulls out a spear from his back.

Both stare down on one another waiting for someone to make a move.

And so did he, Zane rushes forward attacking the krynek but gets blocked by the spear.

He is a little suprise that the krynek is able to block that attack.

The krynek captain began its counter attack.

It pushes back Zane's sword and starts attacking him with an upward strike. Followed by a quick trust forward and a sideway strike.

Zane dodge the first two attacks and block the third one and he is pushes back to the control panel.

"You are stronger than the rest of your crew. Now let see how long you lasted"

Zane takes his stance, before starting attacking again.

*On the battle outside*

Human are making huge progress. Sun and his three battleships annihilated the alien battleship on the right. While on the left, with the help of Widow they managed to destroy all the battleship there.

When the fight first took place human were at disadvantage on the sheer number of battleships being 7 against 20 alien battleships. But the table has turned and humans are at the advantage with 7 against 5 remaining alien battleships.

"Widow... Are you there?" Ask Sun who is using the watch to call Widow.

"Yes I'm here"

"Is Null with you?"

"No..... He probably on one of the remaining 5 krynek battleship, doing the mission leader give us"

"Ah... I see. What should we do now? We don't know on which battleship he is on and the communication is block"

At that very moment Null joined their call "I'm finished with my job. You can start attacking now"

Widow asked "Did you get the information?"

"Nope, the weapon data wasn't in here. I will be leaving now see you guys later"

The call end.

*Back to Zane*

The krynek captain has been cut into 3 pieces with its spear split in two.

Zane takes back his watch and starts going to his ship.

The alerted Krynek came to kill the invader but was easily dispatched.

By the time Zane is on his ship, his allies have begun to attack the rest of the alien battleship.

One hour later, all the alien battleships had been destroyed. Humans with their victory in hand went back to the Base on the red planet.

When all the battleships landed on the surface of the base. Widow,Sun and Null celebrate their victory.

At that moment the squad that was looking for the communication block reported that they had destroyed the communication blocker.

So they went to the control room inside the base.

"Calling the other four planets..."

"Hello, is anyone there? Repeat is anyone there!"

"....."

"....."

"..."

"....."

"..... This is base 581. Repeat this is base 581"

"How is the situasion over there!"

"..... We manage to defeat the invading battleship with the help fo the special combatant unit ,over"

"How are the other 3 bases, over?"

"We couldn't contact them, over. So we had send 4 battleship, over to help them"

"Alright, we would do the same over"

The call was ended.

"There are three bases we are unable to contact. Widow, bring two battleships with you and head over to the base -582. Sun, bring two battleships with you and go to the base -583" Null told widow and sun.

Sun asks him "How about you?"

"I will be staying here, just incase the alien does an unexpected attack"

Widow and Sun nodded.
