Chapter Three
Sighted
Blodlust and
BloodRavin touched planets B-KO's surface at six
a.m, they are on their own until Eleven a.m. he hills of Samona were of
little protection, it seems hat DD decided to burn all the greenery off of
them, the whole planet now looked like a wasteland.
" God....this is planet B-KO, people actually lived here...sir?"
" No Ravin, this is not planet B-KO, it didn't look like this until DD got
here..DAMN YOU DEVILDOG...now listen up Ravin. Your ass is my
responsibility
till we get off htis rock. I tried to get out of it, but BG Surn was head
long into preparing you. You do only what i tell you and nothing that i
don't, I don't even wanna here you pass gas unless you asked me first,
understood?"
" Yes sir."
" Now, Ravin, if you listen to everything I tell you,mwe will get along
fine
and make it out alive, now, do you have any questions?"
" Yews sir, just one"
" Well, what is it?"
" I was just wondering, can i pass gas?"
"GRRRRRRRR.... damn that Surn, with all the people to stick me with, it
would
be a smart ass rookie. Ok enough Ravin, I am tempted to blast you right
here
and now and then tell Surn you fell of a cliff and forgot your mech had
jumpjets, but I won't, lets just get started, ok."
The unlikely combination of the vet pilot Blolust and the rookie Ravin
startedsweep towards the base. As the entered the flatlands, the stealth
gave them little comfort, for DD was not ignorant, he anticipated a move like
this and had scouts and patrols out everywhere. Most scout parties out
towards the hills, were mainly light mechs, but as they got closer to the
entrance of HUMA, the patrols increased along with sizes of the mechs, now
mostly all heavy and medium battle mechs. " Looks like they hit a
gold mind
in some of these colonies, look, the mechs are all brand new, sir, we are
realyy out numbered, I don't lijke this one bit."
" And what...you think I like it any better."
As they moved closer to base, there were several missile impact craters alll
over the place. " Looks like HUMA didn't fall without a fight/"
As Blod and Ravin were coming out of one of the craters, Blodlust halted."
Ravin....stop now."
For standind four hundread and twenty five meters in front of them were three
MadCats and an Advatar. " Damn, heavy mechs, and we got these...these
toddler toys, SURNNNN, you really do got a sence of humar, we are in big shit
Ravin, don't move."
" Well, since their backs are turned, I can pump a couple LRMs into
them."
" NOOOO,.......get that idea out of your head, think first, you blast one,
you probably would'nt cause very much damage, and if you did, what about the
other three, not to mention the fact that missil fire would wake up every
patrol in the area."
" Then si...sir.....what di we do?"
" We do nothing, we wait."
Both pilots, studying the situation and concentrating on the mechs in front
of them, did not notice the three mechs approaching from behind, until, a
sudden tremor of three THORS landing behind them shook Ravin from his
thought. He glanced toward the sound and froze. " Sir, BEHIND
USSSSSSSSS!!!"
Blodlust then, too, turned around and he could fell the hair stick up on the
back of his neck. For, three hundread meters away, were the THORS, looking
and aiming right at them.
" Ravin go, go, go, go, go!!!"
With that both pilots gunned their tiny Striders just as Blodlust saw a set
of ER large lasers dance just inches from the top of Ravin's mech. Both
pilots hearts and mechs reached top spped in a matter of seconds. At 165
miles an hour...they were well out of range of streak missile fire. As
they
ran, they saw their radar's turn red with enemy targets. LRMs were
exploding
inches all around them, AC and Laser blasts were shaking the tiny Striders in
every direction. Then, both pilots pounded on the jumpjet buttons and the
two mech tore in to the sky, but as they landed, they caught glimpse of the
Annihilator directly to their sides and the Orion behind them. They heard
the missils launch from both mechs, the sounds of laser and ac fire rattled
through thier minds....then, with a crash.....it all turned dark.
