2030hrs Day One Killrock Part 1.2

1.          The Attack on the Vampires.

Basilus look at the Vampires; they parked it in set of three's with some distance from each set, and the last single one was a distance away like a standing sentry. The ten men crews set their camp around the tanks and a full complement crew took turns to protect it. They are good as they cleared a kill zone of ten metres around the tanks.

It was almost impossible to reach the tanks.

"Marc, can you do the shots?" Basilus asked the sniper. He pointed to the single tank that was parked a distance of twenty metres to the right. There were only three crew men doing the sentries.

Marc pulled out the saucer disc; the saucer shot out like a projectile for ten metres at where the Draconian were approaching. The disc sides opened up to be a horizontal yo-yo on the air before its swung out in a circular movement slashing at anything in the radius with its random flying movement.

Basilus knew the deadly weapon for close proximity kill, and nodded. Sniper are trained to stay alert and in stealth for hours at times. Marc crawled away in the dark to get to the tank at five hundred metres away. Basilus picked up the PH750 left by Marc and trained it on the sentries. He asked Luke to get an eye on the other sentries.

There was a buildup of the winds that dark night, and the crews are huddling using the tanks as cover. It helped the Rangers that night. Marc made the distance to the tank in an hour. His pace was hampered by the strong wind although it may provide the cover. He saw the crews huddling next to the tank left hull as they set some crude storm cover. He pressed top lever and watched the saucer disc goes in action. The saucer flew towards the crew and began slashing. Body cavities dropped off their body before the blood spurts out as it exert its ferocious moves. Just as it started, the saucer fell down on the ground after a lapse of ten seconds and three dead crew men lie dead on the ground.

Basilus saw the slashing and began his run to the tank. Marc joined him and picked up the saucer disc. They stopped before the tank hull; avoiding the dead parts which are currently rolled off by the wind. The Leader took out the explosives and placed it on the tank tracks before motioning to Marc to move. They still got a few more tanks to handle.

The next group of three tanks were parked with their rear to each other with their guns facing out. The main force of the crews were holding shelter in the center along side with the sentries. Basilus was about to move for the next group when he saw the tanks there all starting up.

"What in tarnation?" Basilus stopped in his track with Marc. He can see the crews jumping into their tanks, and then the guns starts to move like a waking giant. He pulled Marc back and told him to detonate the other explosive. They kept on running when the Vampire tracks exploded.



2.          The Attack on the Ammo Depot

Squad Leader Nur stopped at a distance of over fifty metres to look at the ammo depot. The winds were lashing at the cover structure build over the ammo depot. There are ten Draconian Scouts on hover disc hovering at the perimeter. She stopped the squad and took up the Thor; the personal missile launcher. The launcher would fire a mini explosive at a distance of over fifty metres. She was to fire when she saw the Draconian Scouts started shouting, and then they were zooming over despite the strong wind.

"Damned!" Leader Nur placed the explosive launcher down as the other two Rangers trained their rifles on the advancing Scouts. The Scouts are good at their movements and evaded the shots. She grabbed the PH375 off her back and started shooting.

"Retreat!" Leader Nur shouted out the order, as she provided the cover fire. It was a long run and the wind was hampering their movements. She saw the Scouts are getting near and they just took down one of her Rangers; shot in the right thigh causing the Ranger to fall down.

"I can't move, Leader." The Ranger shouted out as he laid cover fire back on the Scouts.

Leader Nur looked at the Scouts before she ran for the rear. There was little she could do for the Ranger as the Draconian are getting closer.

"Leader, do not leave me...." The Ranger screamed out but he was set on by the Draconian with the mallet hit onto his Helm. The Ranger died on the spot.

Leader Nur looked back as she retreated. She saw her squad member getting killed. She regretted running but this was her first time. It won't be her last. She ran on with her strength but she got shot on the back of the left shoulder. The shot caused her to fall on her side and losing her PH375. She pulled out her PH450 and rolled on her back. She raised the PH450 and awaited them coming.

When the Draconian came in range of ten metres, she fired at the approaching Scout. She got the first one in the head; blowing the brain off, but she missed the second one coming at her from the left. The scout came at her with the cleaver and slashed at the raised left arm; cleaving it off at the elbow. She rolled over in pain but the Scout was not giving up. He came with a second round with a slash that ended the Squad Leader life.
