Chapter 2 Operation: INVASIVE Gyer's island (Military weapons facility), 9:02 PM, April 1, 2100 Over the blue, heavenly misty ocean, the G.A.P. dropships hovered about. Gliding through the mist swiftly. The inside was as calm as outside, 15 cop troopers laid silent in Carry's cargo hold. Focused on the mission.. She noticed Raiku by the slide door, just standing there. Holding a long, slender sniper. Watching the window. As still as a stastue. He seemed too robotic to be a living thing... The Cop Troopers knew the N.C.F. were up to something, knew they were going to help them. But this...This was not what everyone had in mind when they were going to have a cyborg army. The rumors were true, they were mostly denied due to the fact cloning theropods was illegal. But when the world is threatened by psychotic terrorist, a lot of things get allowed. Carry wondered why Kurt did not tell the others about Dr. Cole's acheivement, she guessed he wanted to surprise them. Most of the troops had their helmets off, allowing Carry's short dark brown hair to be free. She had two long loose pieces parted to the side of her forehead, her bright green eyes seemed to glow in the cargo. Her nice curvy body had very nice well toned muscels, which she got lots of comments about. She looked at the cyborg again, curious about it's fetures: She noticed black leather-like material under the armor, she guessed it was to easily set up the armor system. Or maybe to keep him warmer...The animal had a very dragon-like appearence. "Gyer's Island in sight, ETA, 40 seconds." Petrica said, raising her hand. The island came to view, emerging from the blue mist, its thick jungles noticible. The dropships tillted sideways, making Carry a bit nervous as she felt the strong force... "Get ready troopers!" Petrica ordered. The many troopers fastened their helmets. As she finished, Carry noticed as Raiku looked out the window some more, then hefted the sniper rifle, his long fingers were clutched next to the trigger. He had a rifle latched to his side. The ships darted to the island, passing by the tropical beach beneath, then the thick jungle. "Team one split!" Petrica said in the comm, watching as the ship went off to the distance. Seconds later, hovering over the large, open part of the jungle, the ship landed smoothly. From the front window, Carry saw the long, sninning grass being blown on. Second later, a light green light on top of the ship's large cargo door activated, the large ramp quickly slammed the grass, then hordes of troopers swarmed out. Raiku followed. They ran out to the field, straight to the jungle. Minutes passed, the weapons facility was a mile away. As they watched the surrounding jungle, they almost forgot about the beauty the island had. It's many lagoons, waterfalls, and open grasslands made it look more like a ressort then a place that had a weapons facility. But these days, you'd be surprised at how many things did not turn out what they seemed to be. The air smelled sweet from Carry's helmet. The cops prowled through the jungle, having the cyborg lead. He seemed too calm to Carry and the others...As if he did not care about the danger the Kasara offered, as if he had everything covered...She wondered what went on in his head, orders? Personal thoughts? Did cyborgs have freedom? Or were they mindless killing machines? She wondered what all cyborgs thought about. The jungle around her was wide open, a small waterfall in sight. Which Raiku stood on top of, keeping a look out as he scanned the foggy jungle around them. Minutes later, through the thick cicads and ferns, a cliff allowed the troops to over look a large, open land. The weapons facility's large A-shaped enterence was in sight, it's white lights visible. From Kert's binaculars, the device could count 400 black suited, white armored units below. Their helmets had a sharp, symmetrical biker look to them, they had white visors. Many of them were scoutting from big sniper towers and buildings already there. Many on the ground, patrolling, and many rigging bombs next to the door. The large, rocket-like anti-air guns were in sight. From Kert's visor vision, the Kasara wore outfits simular to the cop troopers: Black suits, armored shoulders, ab plates, and slender helmets. Their white visors seemed to glow in the night. All wore white wrappings around their limbs. Before Kert could speak, from his visor, Raiku already counted the enemies, "400 enemies detected, heavy weapons present, snipers and terrets deployed." he could hear them talk, the Kasara were known for speaking German for some reason. "...What are we waiting on? Start down." Kert said, impressed with his actions. As the troops walked down along the cliff edge, the jungle sounds intensified. After a few minutes, the troops walked toward a hill, leading to the enemies. "Raiku, set up." Kert ordered through the comm. Just as Carry walked along with troops, in a second, the theropod jumped, landing to a thick tropical tree branch. He raised his sniper rifle, pearing at the distant opening. A few troops watching stood still, shocked at how a large animal like him was agile and precised. The troops continued down, eventually reaching more trees to hide in. The enemies were 200 feet away. The troops crouched, motionless, ready to fight. Awaiting orders from Kert. "Stand by.." Kert said to team 1, who was on the other side of the base. "Raiku...Fire." Carry softly whispered. From the tree, steady on the branch, the 54-G Punisher Sniper Rifle allowed him to see the landscape in flourecent green. The crosshair had a star look to it inside, many measurment lines and numbers laid beside them. The bottom right side of the scope said Nigh vision, as the dot reticle aimed at the many Kasara, the scope said 200 ft-60 meters, armed unit. Raiku finally aimed at the snipers atop the building, scanning the dirt land below, observing the surrounding jungle. The animal calmly-- yet quickly set the reticle on a sniper head. Observing his surroundings, looking for more units that may show up on the scope...In a second, the weapon fired, the loud thundering, echoing sound intimidating. A split second later from the scope, the thick 30x165 round darted through the sniper's visor, watching the spewing blood and brain matter fly, the second sniper's chest was pounded with a second bullet. Feeling the speeding projectile drill straight through his chest, the warm blood splattering to the floor. The swarm of Cop Troopers hurried out the trees, the theropod watched as their green and yellow muzzel flares flashed about. The humans thundered down to the enemies, moving faster then the normal human could thanks to enhancements. Many fell under their power. The large turrets from above the buildings hurled their purple electric beams, killing troops as the dust rose. Raiku continued to cover them, killing as many snipers and turret users as possible, moving to new enemies in a lightning fast pace-- 30 enemies were dead.. From the scope, as a cop was killing, the darting Kasara faced her. Obsorbing her shots as he got closer, nearly-- Raiku fired, watching him tumble as the shoulder sprayed blood. As the cops made it near the buildings, using them as cover, Carry stuck close to her units. Her A2 Assault Rifle vibrated as she made short controled burst. The weapon was L shaped, a fine touch of dark grey, a slightly arched handle, and fired green straight energy. Emitting from the green battery-like source from the top. In seconds, enemies tumbled down, their suit and skin sizzling from the hot rounds. More enemies pored from a building from the right, firing rapidly, their muzzle flares glowing in the night. As the Kasara weakened, Vadilda lead team 1 to battle, behind the enemies. Eager to enter the building. Killing anyone that got in the way, the building was 100 feet away. They were in front of it now, The entrance was guarded with 5 enemies, holding rocket launchers. The red globs of hot energy ascended to her, smashing by her as she jumped to safety, her fit skinny body moving quickly. “Attack beta!” she ordered as her team recovered from the blast. The team split to two, sprinting to each side of the entrance, dodging the rocket blast smashing by them. Their rifles peppered the enemy suits. They only continued to fire, moving easily in their heavy armor. It had a sharp, symmetrical look to it. Vadilda's sniper fire only dented their armor, making the Kasara angry. As the troops were 20 feet away from the Kasara, she gave the order with a nod. The grenades were hurled at the heavy units, roughly hitting the ground. The red stripped cylindrical explosives enveloped in flames as the Kasara jumped away, hitting the ground. The hail of bullets and energy rained down on them as they got up, struggling to respond. They only fired 3 rounds before falling. Vadilda waved her hand to the base, the doors were destroyed by the grenades, and they entered. The sniper's thundering shots echoed. Raiku finally decided to hop down, jumping down from the branch, landing on the soft ground seconds later. He switched to his A2 assault rifle, and fired at the enemies in front of him. To his left, a few fired back, hitting his thick armor platting, bouncing off to either direction. The cyborg turned to fire back, taking down a few as they screamed. Raiku then noticed a third group of rebels, 4 running straight toward him, their battle cries not intimidating him. He ran to them, firing his weapon, from his visor it read 12%. Near the group, he fired at the nearest enemy, burning him with his rounds up close, using up his clip. A Kasara swung his fist at him, dodging his attack with a swift sidestep, smashing his clawed hand to his gut as he fell. The second attack came from the left, and the cyborg kicked her gut, watching her gag, landing another clawed kick in her leg to knock her down. Two more enemies darted to him, front and back. The Kasara witnessed the animal jump, twirling. The thick leg hit the nearest head, the animal darted to the second guy, rapidly punching him in lightning fast speed. Kicking the recovering trooper holding his rifle. The two Kasara found their punches and kicks dodged quickly as the animal landed more, knocking down one unit. The last guy threw heavy punches at his face, watching the animal dodge quickly. Blocking the fist with his palms seconds later, grabbing one, breaking the arm as he heard the bones shatter. Kicking his side as he held the fist, knocking him down. The animal continued forward, reloading his weapon. The hovering, armored vehicle zoomed to him, it had a slender look to it. The enemies on board fired, the large thin turret showered green energy. The animal zig-zagged as it fired, feeling the warm splash of energy impact by him. The vehicle zoomed forward, making a ghostly humming. The cyborg stopped dodging, taking impact of the bullets as the troops watched the rounds batter his platting and suit. He continued-- the vehicle darted up as the clawed fist smashed the hood, tossing the Kasara up as they screamed. Raiku suddenly jumped toward them, battering the first unit he got to, knocking him down as the scaly heel smashed his helmet's top. The man fell hard. The troops fell in a second, woozy from the fall. The animal fell on the fallen trooper, dashing to the recovering enemy. Raiku smashed his claws on the nearest helmet, knocking down the guy as he fired. Rolling away from the enemy fire. A trooper ran to him, her electrified ninja sword glowing, sizzling. The creature sidestepped to a new enemy, quickly punching his gut. The sword wielder ran faster, swinging as her attacks were dodged. The strongest attack stopped, as the clawed foot grabbed the blade, smashing it down as she was forced to follow. The rest of the troopers backed up, assaulting him in great speed. The cyborg slung the weapon, clutching his hands together as sparks emitted, the strong gush of static emerged quickly. The animal jumped to safety, falling to an enemy as the fingers dug in him. Feeling the electricity surge through, watching him fall hard. Raiku turned to a new target, violently hitting him with his electric fist, kicking the surrounding enemies. He sidestepped multiple times, quickly hitting, not loosing too much breath. As the swordswoman jumped for impact, the cyborg's suit emitted light from the rods, the static flickered. The battlefield got very bright, as the electric source enveloped around the creature, sizzling. The power released, causing the large hot EMP, pushing anyone that got in the way, frying the enemy's tech. Raiku looked around, happy that they stopped attacking. From the distance, more troops fired at him, taking refuge at the fallen buildings. The cyborg zoomed to them, this time pulling out the sniper. Firing his rounds that sunk in their legs. He was near them, blocking the many hits with his wrist. Ducking from the trooper trying to snipe his head. The hitting trooper was tossed away with a swipe kick, and Raiku focused on the other. The sniper stepped forward, watching the cyborg jump as he avoided his sweeping kick. He kicked quickly, hitting his armor, making the raptor worry for a moment. As he was going for the kill, to his side, the sword wielder ran forward yelling. Eager to get a piece of the cyborg. Raiku, in a state of some panic-- but calm, swiped his foot claws across the man's chest, marking the armor-- the powerful triple jointed kick forced him to fly to the pebbly dirt gagging. The raptor sidestepped from the sword's range, grabbing the handle as he struggled to hold, facing the soulless, cold stare of the woman's visor.. Her punch to the face failed, as the cyborg's heel smashed against her 4 times, then her visor, cracking it before kicking her away. The sniper unit got up, firing his last rounds as he sidestepped. The cyborg took cover behind a car, reloading. Something caught his eyes to his left, a large sharp metallic piece laid dormant. Without thinking, he ran to it, taking shots as he kicked the large object. Seeing the thing hurl out the ground, zooming straight for the shooter, impelling him by the gut. As he was tossed away, the last 7 rounds of his rifle raced out. Hitting large metal cylindrical objects. Raiku read them in seconds, HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE. His thin pupils dilated, running to safety in a split second. The rumbling explosions started, fire covered the blast radius. The sword wielder was tossed away with flames as she tried to get up, her whole body burned. The metallic debris rained down, smoking and burnt. A body flew in the air. The sword wielder. Her face became visible, scared from glass, her eyes motionless as the ground grew closer. She slid across the thin dirt, hitting raising rocks as she felt impact. She lost feeling on her left side, as her left arm departed, her gushing blood was warm. Smearing the ground as she stopped, huffing roughly. The pain washed to her, motionless and helpless, grunting softly. Slowly getting up, she saw him. Emerging from the fire. Walking slowly, observing the land. The raptor's stare got to her, his emotionless. Cold. Cat eye. She could not move...Pain took over, fear held her down, then she stood. The animal lifted his arm, holding a pistol. She only saw his cold eyes, before the world became dark to her, seeing the clawed fingers pull the trigger. Firing straight through her head. The Cop Troopers held their own, killing more then half of the troops. Things were going well, in minutes, the team should destroy everything in the base, and come back. Carry took cover behind a large fallen tree, firing her rifle as Kert and two others joined. Glard stayed by her, loading rounds in his shotgun, killing 4 enemies in a second. Enemies started to pour to Carry's side, and she gave the order to engage. The cops sprinted in great speed, dodging. Three units were down, leaving one to fight alone. Her heavy rage took over as she fired, running to them. The cops met with her, dodging her quick attacks, focusing on Carry mostly. She felt the powerful shins smash her arms as she blocked, watching her exchange punches with the other troopers. The cops circled her, their kicks being dodged as the Kasara violently fought back, she screamed. The troops backed up, seeing that Kert sped to the wounded enemy. Throwing his strong punches, hitting her visor and abs. The punches ended with a strong, slashing kick, hurling her across the distance. The woman got up slowly. Her face helmetless and scared, her mouth bleeding. Carry noticed her angry face, her bright yellow, reptilian eyes staring. She pulled out a black handle, the long electric blade emerged in a second, sizzling. Running to her enemies-- loud rustling echoed behind her, in the jungle, hearing the faint footsteps-- the grey slender creature ran from the jungle, locking its jaws around her as its long neck rose up. Shaking her around as she screamed, smashing her to the rocks below. Holding the arm in its jaws, its loud shriek was terrifying, the blood dripping down the long tongue splashed. “Fire!!” Kert said. The animal was tall, thin, and very ghoulish looking. Eyes were not seen. It looked like a skinny theropod, it snapped its long jaws as it dashed to the cops. Absorbing fire as it huffed, hitting the nearest trooper with its snout. The cops dodged the rampaging xaraki, taking it down. More rustling came from the jungle, the xaraki pack emerged seconds later, the many of them darted to both Cops Troopers and Kasara. The cops found themselves in the fight of their lives. Killing the swarm of creatures that tumbled by them. Carry noticed the Kasara being torn apart in the distance, their screams haunted her. As a Kasara sped to her, the sniper round pierced his side, tumbling down silently. Carry turned in the straight smoke line, seeing as Raiku saved her, resuming his fight with the Kasara. She lost her focus on her thought as a xaraki battered a trooper with its head, heading straight for her. She fired at where the eyes may be, watching the purple blood spray down. The creature grew closer, roaring. Carry moved to the right, firing at the long body a-- the head turned suddenly, smashing Carry 's chest and visor, hurling her to the jungle beyond her. She fell hard against the thick tree, feeling the whiplash, falling on her ass. She was shaken up, dizzy.. She found herself in a open part of the jungle, filled with shiny long grass. The large creature got to the area, turning straight at her. The slender eyeless face was steady. Carry staggered up, resting her right hand on the trunk, breathing strongly, her helmet smoking and sizzling. The creature revved up with its large feet, its claw picking up dirt. Carry, her instincts took over, her strong urge to fight. Her arm hurt. She readied her hapkido stance, her green eye noticeable from the damaged visor, ready to fight. The animal shrieked, running to her, its jaws open-- the strong impact hit its jaws, forcing it to nearly fall. Raiku went for another jumping attack, hitting its legs and sides, the blood felt warm to his finger. The creature shuck of the pain, turning his attention to the new enemy, the cyborg unleashed fire on the animal, strafing. The animal went for a bite, missing as Raiku sidestepped, feeling the hard kick of his foot. The xaraki was tossed across the field, tumbling down. The cyborg dashed to it, jumping on the visible rib cage. His A2 rifle's fire penetrated the soft skin, the blood splattering on his visor and legs. The animal rose its long neck, going to strike him. The clawed fist smacked the face, breaking the lower jaw. The cyborg went for the face, his hands sparked as static surged. The fist zoomed to it, sizzling as it smashed the face. Carry was silent, she saw the cyborg part from the animal. Raiku, satisfied with his kill, he turned to her, seeing if she was ok. Running to her. Not noticing her shocked face. The last of the xaraki were battered with bullets. From Kert's right, team 1 ran from the base entrance. Hitting the dirt as the entrance crippled in flames, the C4 explosions rose from the ground, battering the underground base. The last remaining Kasara leader gave a retreat gesture, the 12 units ran for the dropships hidden in trees, being picked of by cops in the distance. 9 were left. Kert watched as the long slender black ships rose high, accelerating seconds later. The ships touched the moon-lit horizon, the white thruster lights resembling stars. The battle of Gyer's island was over. Around him, the happy cops cheered loudly, celebrating their well deserved victory. It was 10:11. In an open jungle, around thick trees, Raiku rested by Carry, fixing the wounds on her right arm. Putting the crossed small bandages on. “Your cuts don't look so bad now.” he said, “Your arm's fine, it will heal.” Carry looked up from her arm, she rested by a tree, her exposed skin felt a bit chilly in the cool night. She felt, uncomfy. Confused. This creature possessed amazing strength, battering many enemies, flawless aim, enhanced reflexes-- Carry was surprised. A creature this ferocious, was so gentle, and calm. His soft, warm scaly fingers rubbed her skin, making sure the wound was secure. Her face was filled with bruises and cuts, some had bandages and clothes on them. He rested his hands, looking awkwardly at her, wondering if she was sad, not noticing the trooper hanging around. She looked down, facing him as her eyes were closed, “You did great tonight. You saved me, good job tonight! You were amazing!” The cyborg did not say anything, just stared. Nodding in acknowledgment slowly. The other troopers came back from inspecting the base for weapons. Everyone was aboard the ships. Hovering in the blue night, shaking up trees in a gentle matter. The ships slowly turned, to the direction of the city, to the direction of home...

Chapter 1 Introduction The story so far..... In 2050, humanity makes contact with aliens. Landing suddenly in hopes of peace, humanity made its first out-worldly friends. Over time, they helped make medication, and advanced technology. Even making the world's most advanced cities and laws. But in 2080, a human rebel alliance raged war against the world. This rebel alliance is known as the Kasara, an alliance filled with people that have had bad personal experiences with aliens, each having their lives changed dramatically. Most lost their families. With their stolen alien tech from facilities, filled with rage, the world would be in for a fight. Desperate, the military then formed a special army of genetically augmented cops, the Cop Troopers. They helped repel many of the Kasara's attacks. But the Kasara were more powerful, thus killing most units... In 2098, a genetics scientists named Dr. Cole had an idea. The strong, unusual plan. A lot of war tactics would be allowed during desperation. For unknown reasons, the man wanted to clone, and train a cybernetic theropod army (carnivorous dinos). Thus project: CYBORG began... After 2 years of training, 4 of the most skilled raptors separate to different locations to stop the Kasara. Raiku-001, chose to protect Atlanta, he is one of the city's last lines of defense... GAP (Atlanta Georgia Police) HQ, 8:45 PM, April 1, 2100. The GAP building, with it's twin parts connected by a bridge enveloped in glass, and shiny red material, the 70 story building stood out in the glorious city of ATL. In the distance, more wonders stood out: The silhouettes of hovering vehicles zoomed across the city, along the pinkish-blue horizon that was the setting sun. Deep in the building, lied one of the most advanced armies in the world. The large shuttle bay had multiple transportation and weaponry. Slender, light weight grey jets, and a load of slender dropships were lined up neatly. The dropship's most bulky parts, were the front, the rest had slender, fin-like appendages to their sides and at the back. They had a fish-like appearance to them, they looked like submarines. The weapons were in tall skinny cases that were open, both weapons and equipment were neatly set vertically, grenades were beside the guns. The big shuttle bay had a theme of mostly grey, and some parts were white, like the railing of the multiple stairs and the large balcony that over looked the room. The large blast door that let the aircraft out was shut tight, it's glass let in the sky light, forming long shadows on the hard deck. Next to a dropship, standing almost motionless, a short, white muscular man of 40 looked at his army of 30 Cop Troopers. Pausing dramatically before finishing his motivation speech, his deep god-like voice demanding. "Tonight, we take back what is ours!" Pausing again, he sniffled before speaking again, "I want maximum effort. This is one of the most important missions we will do!" Even without the speeches, CPT. Karosso Kurt's muscular figure intimidated most, his thick biceps catching lots of shadows. The EGX-99B battle suits of the units was by far the strongest of any human suit. They wore red body suits like leather, grey tiles of abdominal armor, and a helmet with a detailed visor. Project: COP TROOPER began production in 2081. The project was lead by a former soldier named Leslie Parker, who was a weapon engineer. The production of the suit began with a prototype made, deep in her testing lab. She volunteered to wear the suit during testing. After successful test based on taking bullets, projectiles, large objects, and nuclear bomb impacts, the team then started the formation of the army. They were part military and police units, ready for most things. By 6 months, approximately 200000 units were formed worldwide, thus making the most successful army made that time. The grey, titanium X shoulder plates of the units made long, faint shadows on the deck, casting them enough to lightly cover parts of the dropships lined up a few meters away. The strongest human material ever made. Among the line of units was Carry Tarriyama. A young commander from Greece, one of Kert's most reliable comrades, second in command. Her pale tan skin, and tall figure made her stand out in the crowd, along with her well toned curvy body, the brunet was very strong. To her right, climbing out the dropship being repaired, the petite LT. Wendy quickly walked to Kurt. Putting her tools in her brown holsters, her blood red hair bouncing as it shun, she had very pale skin, nearly white. She saluted swiftly as she spoke in a energetic tone, "Alright captain all significant damages are fixed." "Very good." Kert replied quickly. "I got a update about the weapons facility, the orbital drones detect two more anti-air guns in development in a rather quick pace.." Kert, disappointed, just said, "Very well. Good job Wendy." He walked to a certain tile on the floor, a dark grey button that activated the holo table, the large surface rose up as it hissed, some cold mist eased out. Then the machine glowed a light teal. He spoke quickly, "Alright looks like we can't do a direct approach anymore, so we need to use stealth. You will go in two groups: Carry, lead group 2." he turned to a skinny, tall trooper in the row named Glard, his mid brown skin and brown hair made him noticeable, "Glard, lead group 1. Vadilda, you--" In the distance, 10 yards away, the triangular elevator pinged! open as something made it's stop...Everyone then looked too, then the door hissed open. In the distance, a tall, armored figure was in sight, it's bird-like standing made it even more unique looking. The animal walked, it's head cocking up and down as it did so. The animal had spiky rods of some sort on it's top, running from the neck to it's spine and tail, they were attached to gray armor plates, it reminded Carry of a reptilian hedgehog. It's slender shout was protected with a shiny helmet with a spike ridge over each big eye. The animal was very intimidating looking, it looked like something out of Japanese mythology. The animal finally got to the humans, then in a second, Kurt smiled, then spoke, "Troopers, this is our new member, Raiku." Now that the creature was closer, as everyone stared in wonder, Carry was too shocked to believe what she was looking at. A set of long arms with claws, big curved toe claws, and a long tail, it was a deinonychus. "Glad to see you sir, we need to change our tactics. Let me brief you: The Kasara found an island, an old underground weapons facility is in there. They plan to take the weapons and supplies to their master, and have another anti-air gun in the works, I doubt we'll make it before it's finished so, that's were you come in." Raiku's motionless stare caught Kert's attention more then his speech caught his, "We will fly to the Kasara," He pointed at the holographic map of Gyer's island, a faded pink line followed his finger, showing the path to Raiku, "But won't land directly at their base, we will stop not too far from the beach, then hike our way to them. As for you. You will snipe." Raiku nodded, his response seemed robotic to Carry as she stared at him, he then spoke, his deep British accent caught everyone by surprise, "What happens next?" "As you cover us, team 2 will kill as many as possible, and team 1 will infiltrate the base, destroying all weapons." a line raced in the holographic map as he talked. He noticed how tall Raiku was, the 6 foot tall, cybernetic warrior intimidated him a little, "Miss Carry will lead group 2, after you've taken out enough, go to her to wipe out the rest." "Understood." Raiku said. "Move out everyone!" "Move troopers!" Carry said, leading the troopers to a long table of helmets. They had a biker-like look, their symmetrical caps, and green detailed visors gave them a both intimidating and futuristic look. The troops quickly grabbed and reloaded weapons from the long tilting table, filled with G36Cs and many other weapons. Then quickly dashed to the ships, moving quicker thanks to their speed enhancements. Everyone thundered down to the dropships, climbing up the ramps that led them in. Still at the armory, Raiku carefully looked around for extra clips and equipment. After finishing looking, he slipped the sniper clip in quickly, and pulled the bullpup to lock and load. He dashed toward the first ship he saw. And as he did that, a shiny, black tented triangle-like visor contracted across his eyes, for protection. As he hopped in, the ships hovered easily as dust flew up, their bright blue thruster fire glowing in the deck. "Thrusters one by four, check. backup and main power, check. Status: Green." one of the pilots said, her name was Petrica, looking at the floating holographic bright controls. Seconds later, the large, blast door that overlooked the city hissed open easily. Then in a second, the two ships suddenly increased speed, and dashed toward the city.
