“Captain Jay of the Palace guard of Ziion, me and my team are on an undercover mission in relation to the Kings recent assignation attempt. We are on our way to your planet, when we noticed another ship also heading there. We are unsure of its purpose but if its in connection to our case it could be to harm or kidnap one of you trainees.
“Can you release the person’s identity”
There was a pause
“Where you the person who knew our code”
“Yes I served in the Ziion Military, and still call Ziion home and King Levis my King”
“Ok that’s good enough for me. We have only one source but we believe on your Planet, you have a missing princess, she is a twin to Princess Rota”
“Mia” said Alex looking to Dora, Dora’s eyes widened. As they both thought through her circumstances it made sense, she even had similar featured to the king”
“Yes it does make sense” said Alex over the line “What would you have us do, I imagine you already know we don’t have much in the way of anything useful here.” Said Alex
“We aren’t armed for a fight in the sky either.” Replied Jay “As soon as the ship passes us we will head for your planet but you will have to hold them off for at least half an hour before we can get there. Can you do that.
“Don’t have much of a choice.” Said Alex
“How many fighters do you have that can hold their own?”
“Five Trainees, Three Masters. Including your Princess.”
“Do you have a natural choke point you can fall back too if they get inside”
“I’ll co-ordinate inside you just get here, how many on your team,”
“4 and a pilot”
“I was kind of hoping for more”
“Yeah sorry about that. Ok send us permission to land over the emergency line, just in case the other ship is watching and we will get moving again, better keep this line open. We will also need a map with your weak spots and where you want us.
“Good enough plan as any.” Alex said “Hey Captain Jay – Happy Hunting!”
“Oh my Gosh is that you general!” came a completely over the top voice through the line
“Bunny, is that you?” Master Alex asked
“Hell yeah, and we got Benny and Tilly too.”
“Oh that Jay,” He let out a laugh “Oh I feel so much better knowing I got you guys on the way, they really did send the best”
“Anything for you General Alex, see you in a bit, Hold tight” said Bunny
He gave another laugh, he seriously couldn’t believe his luck, and knowing the capabilities of the team coming Alex brought up the map, trying to work out the best way to defend this place. “Dora, better get everyone up and ready”
“Yeah, do we get Mia to look after all the younger kids in cellar so we know she is safe.”
“Ha, you can try but my bet is she won’t want to. Probably best putting her in the safest part of the fight. I assume they will land on the dock. Maybe if you tell Mia to guard the secret entrance which we can send Jays team too. She will be protected by 4 of the best soldiers Ziion has to offer.
“Well I’m not sure I want her directly in harms way but I see the point your making”
Dora programmed in the code to set off the emergency alarm, she let it sound for half an minute and then Picked up the intercom. “This is not a drill, we have an incoming ship that maybe hostile. Please dress in full battle gear, with vests. And report to the mess hall in 10 minutes. I repeat. This is not a drill, we have an incoming ship that maybe hostile. Please dress in full battle gear, with vests. And report to the mess hall in 10 minutes”
“She turned to Alex do you have a plan worked out yet?”
“First of all I want you to meet the ship, you can tell if they mean harm or not, how many they have and what they are doing here. If you stand in the airlock, you should be able to see and talk to them, the glass is thick enough to protect you, unless they have serious firepower, then none of these plans will work. Then we hope the front dock holds until Jay and his team get close enough. But if that isn’t the case, I want to feed them into the outer corridor, we can then split them, half can go into the mess hall and keep the other half moving around the outer to the north exit. I wonder if we can force them back outside.” Alex said this more to himself “How sure are you that this secret exit isn’t known by anyone?”
“As sure as anyone can be” said Dora with a shrug of her shoulders.
“If Jay’s team enter here, then we can get them to move straight to the mess hall to clean up and then down the outer to finish.” He scratched his head. “There is so much that can go wrong. I need Master Shelly to take all the kids under 15 to the cellar. That leaves Mia here by the secret entrance, two here to split them, two here to keep them on the outer two in the mess hall to ambush and one on the north exit. If they deviate from that plan its just going to be a big game of cat and mouse.” He filled out the map with all the information Jay would need and sent it to them. I will need Master Shell to be our eyes, we don’t have many camera’s but any advantage is necessary. Can you get her comm into the security feeds, and we will need 9 ear pieces for communication. Set them all to the same line that Jays ship is on. I’ll get to the mess and start getting people ready.”
“Right behind you”
Alex sent Master Shell with her comm connected into the security feeds, headset working and all the younger children into the cellar. He then with Jays team on the line ran through the plan as it was trying to highlight all the things that could go wrong. The trainees then got their weapons ready before heading out to their posts. 20 mins until eta.
“Dora are you in position?” asked Alex
“Affirmative, I can see a smaller transit Pod approaching”
There was silence on the line
Dora watched as the smaller ship landed in the docking area. Four men got out in completely black armoured gear with as many weapons as would fit on a body. They confidently strode up to the door.Dora gave an update. “Four men, full battle armour, completely black with lots of weapons”“What is your business on Planet S610,” Dora askedOne of the men with a confident smile took a step closer, he opened his mouth then the smile faded as Dora’s gift started to pull words he didn’t intend to use towards his mouth.“We are here to kill the Princess” The man replied, his men looked at him shocked.“How many men do you have?”He was starting to sweat now “15 plus a pilot”“What is your plan of attack?” One of the men pushed him out of the way and stood in his way, only to answer the question instead. “We have sent two other ships to the north exit and
With his left hand holding his rifle wrapped around her waist and his right hand over her mouth, he leaned his back against the inside of the cupboard for stability. The cupboard door on his left. He froze, trying to hear how far away the other team was. It was pitch black it there. Mia started to struggle, he just realised she didn’t know who he was. “Shhh,” he whispered, straight into her ear, I won’t hurt you. Her body shivered involuntary, then she tried to elbow him in the ribs, but lucky for him it was only half a blow because of the tight confines of the cupboard. He then felt her hand move down his leg to where his hand gun was. Oh that would not end well, “Mia” he whispered, he could feel her body tense. Oh yes it was Mia alright. “Its Jay, from the second” He whispered into her ear again, her body shivered again, “can I remove my hand” She nodded, “Another team came in behind me” he took his right hand from her mouth slowly. “Do you trust me?” Jay asked, th
They exited the cupboard slowly, allowing their eyes to adjust to the light again. They headed back down the corridor they had just come from. They passed the man Mia had taken out with a kick and elbow, her gun was on the ground near him. She must have dropped it in the attack. He was still alive but wouldn’t be coming around anytime soon. She had got him good. Jay kicked the weapons from him, “did you want your gun, or will you use mine.”Mia thought “yours” Jay nodded and they continued.They stopped at the next man, or the lead man. He had been shot straight between the eyes. Jay removed his vest. “Take your vest off. This will offer you more protection, not to mention more weapons.” Mia did it quickly. “Crack shot” he said to her. She was trying not to look at the man, she blushed. He helped her tighten the straps so it wasn’t too loose on her. “Ok?” he asked“Ok” she replie
“Yes” she replied. He let out a breath and helped her up with his free hand and then he made a direct line to the control panel. He tapped his stud a couple of times. “Ryder, do you have a copy”“Yes Jay” replied Ryder“I’m on the other ship. Can you configure its system so we have control? There’s still a Pilot on here somewhere.”“Yes” Ryder said. “Open a line to me.”Jay tapped his stud again to turn it off and opened a line between both the ships. His voice came through the ships speakers. “If you can find the override key, I can do it remotely, that would be quickest.”“Where do we look for the override key,” Jay asked“It’s a long shot but it comes in the manual, but most people change it.”“Manual,” Mia said stepping up beside him with a think book in her hand. On the first page t
“I have to go get him” she said, she grabbed Jays gun, ran to the door and held the switch down for 3 seconds like she had seen Jay do. As soon as the doors were open, she ran straight for the engine room. She took a big breath before the last door opened, she could see them both trying to stagger to their feet. She charged and the Pilot and kicking his feet out from under him and following through with an elbow in the ribs. She then ducked under Jays big arm and tried to force him to walk back to the door.He got in six steps before his knees started to buckle, with all her might she held him up against the wall. She moved in front of him and getting both his arms over her shoulders she lent forward taking all his weight on her back and started walking forward, his feet dragging behind. Her lungs were burning screaming out for air but she couldn’t take a breath yet or they wouldn’t make it. She had to get further from the fumes. Four steps away, 3, 2,
She gently cleaned the bullet wound and surrounding area. With the tweezers, she could feel the metal bullet, she quickly pulled it out, pressing a cloth over the wound applying pressure. With her other hand she got the needle and thread. A smile formed on her face as she remembered Master Alex scalding her in their first aid classes because she had figured out how to sew “Mia” in most of the sewing practice. She laughed out loud and set to work, she never dreamed she would actually use these skills. She would have to thank Alex later. She looked at her handy work. Oh yeah “M i a” had worked perfectly, she had even impressed herself. Alex couldn’t possibly be upset with this job. She quickly went back to the Medi bay and washed all Jays blood off her hands. She got back and bandage his arm firmly. She then removed his vest, no easy feat with all Jays muscles. She rolled him onto his front to make sure he had no other injuries. She felt down his le
He reached his hand up and tapped his stud Mia, did the same “Ryder you called”“Yeah Jay, I’m going to land you guys on the dock, we’re going to need that ship”“Why?” asked Jay“There is an injured Trainee down here who just went into shock, we are going to fly him out for medical treatment ASAP.”“And I suppose you really, want to fly this Ship,” Jay said“Like a hand grenade without a pin!!” Ryder repliedJay Laughed “You have better take Tilly with you although be careful using that expression around her, she might try to disarm you. Is there anyone else injured.”“Master Dora got shot in the upper thigh and they can’t get the bullet out without surgery, she will go too. And then You got shot but it looks like you’ll make it, Mia sore to that. Ok stay where you are this is a first for me”The Ship gave an
As she entered the room Sao ran up and hugged her, “Mia, I was so worried. I didn’t know where you were.“Hey Sao,” she hugged her back. I’m fine actually, I had to get a bullet out of Jay’s arm”She looked at her with big eyes, “is he alright?”“Oh Yeah, he also got gassed and is just resting.”At that point Alex found her, “Mia, Oh your alright, where is Jay, we need to co-ordinate plans.Mia took a breath, “Jay got gassed and shot in the ship so I patched him up and put him to sleep in my bed. He eyes can’t tolerate the light and he is really weak and in pain. I was going to give him an hour and them go check on him. He really won’t be any use to you for a bit.“I see,” he said. “You patched him up”“Yep as I was taught.”He caught the glimmer of mischief in her eye. He made a mental note to che
