Fire Across the Universe

-NSA Recon-


Rho nodded immediately as he quickly goes through the forest in order to find another entrance and he try to find another way in to the spire, he knew the revenant ahead are quite threatful and the spire should be having another entrance instead of going through from where the revenant is, it's tough to slip through directly so best thing is to circle around. He aware of those revenants of what they will do once he encounters them. He kept finding the alternate route while also oversee the revenant air forces that flies around the spires and their units.

Jacob observing all the data he can find while filtering every activity around the planet where he send the recon unit is. He aware the revenant's action but he prefer to be more alerted against the ship that destroys one of other faction's vessel but he won't let out his guard for sure in this situation. Right now he's still waiting for the ITG Cruisers to return to the convoy so NSA can escort them back to Galleon Planet before catching up to the planet where Rho currently is since NSA and ITG are cooperating to keep the market across the galaxy supplied and ITG holds the most distributions than any else.

-Stan & Suya-


The silver haired boy was looking at the sky with his binoculars as he saw the 5 destroyer class vessels. "Yup, hey TJ. They just deployed their own guys to the surface." Stand said putting the binoculars away as he talked through his tiny earpiece. The boy then trained his red eyes towards the female with brown hair as she was strapping on her 3D gear as she strapped her blades into the sheaths. She then put the two high powered handguns into their holsters behind her back. "Meet TJ at the Rendezvous point." Stan said jumping down as he landed on his two feet before quickly catching his combat glasses which were thrown to him. "You forgot that." Suya said jokingly. "Mentor."


Stan simply gave a smile before he put on his combat glasses. "So I hear that the UGF is keeping twelve massive creatures under the capital?" Stan said as he activated his wrist blades attached ho his arms and took out the two handles. "Yea. And he best part, they're trying to revive them. Suya said taking her handles out as well. "Want to race?" Stan said looking at Suya. "Nah." She said looking back. "Why?"


"Look over there." Suya said pointing at the forest which Stan followed before quickly firing her grappling hooks as she swung from tree to tree. "There's nothing h-" Stan looked back to see that Suya had already left. "Clever." Stan quickly launched his grappling hooks as he followed suya.

There seemed to be a way around, the only problem was, there was lots of vegetation. And questionable looking plants.


-Revenants-


The spires seemed to be nothing more than structures. But there seemed to be a massive silver wall which separated the jungle. The wall was massive as it loomed over the trees. There seemed to be drawings of tall beings etched onto the walls as well in certain sectors.

-Expedition Team-


The jungle closer to the Spires seemed much thicker than before, as if the jungle itself didn't want them to reach it. However, for all the trees the jungle threw at them, the Hydrax brute strength was always greater. Eventually they emerged from the forest. In front of them was a massive silver wall, with a carving of a strange bipedal creature that towered over even the Hydrax. The same scientist, who Fizzik had learned was Chief Scientist Korwin Gyvlax, piped up. "That doesn't give me a good feeling. Let us hope that these creatures are not real, or at least that they died out many years ago." Fizzik grimaced. Korwin was right. If they ran into one of those things, he wasn't sure that two soldiers of the 2nd, 15th, 30th would be enough to protect the scientists. Perhaps cooperation WOULD be in his best interests. "What would have caused these to die out?" The soldier next to him, Rookie Wayoun Domianon, voiced his skepticism. "Same thing as any other. Lack of shelter, lack of food, failure to adapt, hunted to extinction, or-" "Hunted? Something could have HUNTED these things to extinction?" Wayoun questioned, panic evident in his voice. "Our race could. Don't worry. We'll be fine." Fizzik reassured him. The three were interrupted in their conversation by a scientist calling out from the wall. "Chief. There's something you should see here." Korwin obliged, looking through one end of a telescope-like device. An arm from his arm-pack swiveled the device to look further along the wall. Korwin snapped back from the device, a mix of anticipation, excitement, confusion, and horror on his face. "That's impossible, isn't it? It couldn't possibly happen." Korwin muttered, more to himself than anything. He looked again. "This is incredible. Take a sample of it." The scientist obliged, or tried to. Any attempt at taking a sample was repelled. The wall remained undamaged. "Well, we have to get past this somehow. Let's try to go through, first. On three." Fizzik made sure Wayoun was ready, "Three." Both Hydrax charged the wall, hurling their full weight and strength against one spot.


-HRS Invention-


The situation was getting stranger by the minute. The Revenants were ignoring the environment. They were heading determinedly in one direction. A few had even bounced off the shield and then ran around it, pretending nothing happened. There must be something else going on. Maybe it was that the Revenants were interested in the source, and not eating the planet for once. That would make a nice change. Jeebel still wasn't going to lower the defences. If there was one thing he trusted less than the UGF, it was Revenants. "You have to wonder how they're doing out there." First Officer Varlol Beeliel was obviously just as concerned as he was, maybe more so. He was doing well, and was probably going to become a full-fledged captain soon. It would be a shame, losing such a valuable part of his Bridge Crew. He had become almost a son to Jeebel.

Many races gathered and many ships had appeared. It was growing dangerouse. The worriors moved about quickly being dead creatures to the hive, as it converted the biomass into resources. New soldiers were being grown large tank like creatues came forth from the hive. They gaurded the hive while flying units 5 total flew towerds the spires 2 observers (scientist units) in tow.

Rho looks at the vegetative around the forest, decided not to take risk further he entrusted the rest of recon to his subordinate while he will withdraw back to the base. "I leave the rest up to you" The raptor sniper nodded and as Rho retreats to the LZ with one of his Recon Terradyne the Raptor Sniper keep going forward while taking picture of every plants that they met in order to be analyzed.


- NSA Mothership, Lune Lumen -


Jacob keep looking and observing the plants while Rho withdraws, he expect something is going to happen soon while he ordered the rest of forward recon unit to take a sample as they advance in order to know the basic of vegetative on that planet. Soon, three ITG Merchant Cruiser ships comes out from the planet meaning they finished the business. "How was it?" The merchant chuckle, "It went well.. Hey, if you get something new bring it to us as long it was worthy" Jacob nodded, "There are salvage team on a destroyed Synbiote ships collecting every pods, we'll let you know if it can be used again" The merchant nodded while they start marching the fleet back to Galleon Planet.

Two of the marines knelt down as he took out a rocket launcher but did not directly point it as the Captain signaled everyone to stand down.


"Go ahead. Shoot us. If you want to re-ignite the war which your race was so desperately loosing. And have everyone blame you for making the human race the burden of the universe. And blame you for the cause of more lives and money lost." The captain said. "Or, you & I can turn around, and walk off and go do our business. And this little incident never happened. I think you can make the best judgement. Since your species is not completely stupid." The captain said. "Because I've already made mine." The captain said as he turned around and walked several steps back before turning around. "What will it be? Another war? Or, this never happened and we can just forget about it?"

The wall remained undamaged as the two hydrax simply bounced off of the wall. Korwin grunted. "What is this?" He was honestly baffled. Not even the power of two hydrax were enough to even make a scratch on the wall. "How are we suppose to get through?" Fizzik looked up towards the sky. "My god. Look at how tall this wall is. It feels like it's never ending." The scientist was baffled and was now even more curious as to what materials were used to build this wall that i can withstand heavy impact."If only we could take a sample." Korwin said. "But we can't. There is nothing currently that we have that can cut the wall for samples." Fizzik replied. Then, by sheer brilliance, Fizzik had an idea. He looked towards the soldier who had their plasma turrets. Concentrate your fire on the wall. We might be able to punch a hole with fire power." The two soldiers nodded as they stepped forward charging their turrets. "Fire." One of them said as they began to send concentrated fire towards one section of the wall. Once they were finished, both Fizzik and Korwin looked with bright faces. As the smoke cleared, the wall was still undamaged. The soldier's mouths nearly dropped as so did Fizzik and Korwin. "How? What?" Korwin said confused. "If turrets can't do anything then what will?" Whatever civilization built this, they seemed to have really not wanted anyone to pass through to the other side it seemed.


-Revenants-


There seemed to be a massive grey wall towering over the tree-lines. It seemed as though that another race was already trying to break the wall. But, seemed to fail with every try and attempted. The signal seemed to be strongest beyond the wall.


-NSA-


At the large concentration of spires, there was a massive grey wall that seemed to tower over the skies. The signals of the beacon seemed to emitted from somewhere beyond the wall. But also, there were explosions and impact of the walls echoing as it seemed that another race was trying to find a way to pass the wall.

 

[Ramero]

-NSA Recon-


As Rho withdraws to the base to oversee situation he wonder how's the raptor sniper doing. The Snipers can hear that some explosions and something causes wall to echoes, judging by the echoes they seem got difficulty to breakthrough it and no sign of smoke. "Hmm..." They continue to walk around the wall, rubbing it softly until they find some sort of devices concealed on the wall as one of raptor presses it without intention. An elevator appears from the ground and opens in front of them, "Captain, we're going to check it out" Rho looks at the lift and nodded, "Alright, be safe and we're already marked where you will go in.. We'll be there as soon as you want to call for exfil" The Raptor sniper nodded, "Wilco" They enter the elevator and it goes down again, concealing very well with the nature itself.


Rho wonder why they can't detect it, probably because the technology is far more advanced. The raptor arrived somewhere at the basement and using nightvision to scout underground structure, strange thing is there are no interference below. "This could be an ancient structure.. But i wonder who made this thing.." Rho reminds them to stay composed, "Keep your eyes peeled and cam, we don't know where are we.. In friendly or hostile territory.." The Raptor nodded while talking to his men, "There must be more than one access point.." They have to make an alternate escape in case the elevator are compromised while continue to explore underground structure which linked to the spire itself.


- NSA Lune Lumen -


Angelus keep thinking about it, "It could be a very old but most advanced technology structure.. Get what you can and we will analyze it afterwards.. I just wondering if we can make it useful in the future.." He wonder about it since it was unique yet he never seen this structure before. He doesn't know what lies inside it and it's a big mystery.

Dante, while still invisible, reappeared in front of the captain. His arms were folded as he said,


"I would prefer the second choice. You have me in a corner, I can't bloody do anything like this. Tell ya what, we can forget about this incident, as long as there's money in it for me, lad."


Dante, with his gambling instincts, took out a deck of cards from his pocket.


"Or perhaps, we can decide it over a game of poker?" he smiled.

 

[MuchPsykers]

-NSA-


There was nothing underground. No alternate routes, no exits. It seemed as though that there was only one way in and one way out. And the elevator was not the way in or out.


-TJ-


TJ stood on top of a tree as he looked up at the wall. "Really." TJ looked around trying to look for an alternate route. He heard explosions as he looked to his side and saw the hydrax blasting the wall before it appeared as though nothing was working for them. TJ began to think. "What is he best way to get past it." TJ looked around and saw that the revenants had multiplied. "Shit." Then it hit him. "I am a moron." Tj tapped his ear piece. "Echo 2. I need you to come to my location." TJ said before he continued to observe and be amuse by the hydrax's attempts. After waiting, a dropship finally came down to tree top level as the back air lock doors opened up and the six S.S.S troopers were inside. One of the stretched out a hand. "Do you need help sir?"


TJ jumped into the troop compartment as he took the trooper's hand allowing the other soldiers to bring him into the dropship. One of them signaled the pilot to begin scaling the wall. When they reached the top, the pilot landed at the top of the wall as TJ got out. The S.S.S soldiers giving him a crate as they took off again. TJ waved before openign the crate as he took out the 3D gear and began to attach the deices onto him.

Fizzik looked up as he saw a UGF drop ship scaling the wall. "Why didn't we think of that." Fizzik said. Korwin looked up as well. "Do what?" Fizzik turned around to face Korwin. "The centrions are clever. They're scaling the wall using their drop ships." Fizzik said. "Of course. Why didn't we think of that."


-Revenants-


The revenants would have also seen one of the UGF's dropships scale the wall as it landed at the top , shortly before taking off once again.


-Vactus Prime-


@SirFlabberghaspy


The UGF 610th armada, was refueling at the colony planet before they were to disembark back to the home worlds. As they stopped to resupply, thousands of ships littered the solar system as some were on patrol, while others were resupplying on the surface.


Within the fleet were three planet sized maritius class planet class vessel


five big moon sized Olympus class lunar class vessels


and thousands of cruisers, dreadnoughts, battle ships, frigates, destroyers, escort vessels, and battle fortresses.


There was a large UGF military presence on the planet surface as they secured the surface so that supplies could be taken to the ships in space. A lot of soldiers and crew took the time look around the city as they moved around in their battle squads with their guns.


-Asuka-


Asuka had decided to find a more quiet "bar" on the surface of vactus prime as several of her soldiers from her army that she led also came in as they sat down. Not caring that it was a worn down bar in a worn down place in the slums. Her soldiers sat down and began to chat. Asuka looked at the other tenants of the bar before looking back. "Hello general." One of the soldier sat beside her. "Would you like to join us ma'am?"


Asuka looked at the young soldier before smiling. "It's alright. Just enjoy your time with your buddies. I'll just sit here and supervise." The soldier nodded as he understood. "Yes ma'am." He gave off a salute before walking back to his squad.

The captain looked at dante before snickering. "I don't give money to my enemies. And I don't give money to scums of the universe either." The captain climbed onto the tank. "And I most certainly do not gamble because that's just a waste of my time." The captain then signaled all of his soldiers to climb onto the six tanks. "You should feel lucky human. That I spared your life." The captain said as a soldier tossed him a assault rifle which he loaded a glowing blue magazine clip.

The pirates and Dante would have seen that they landed close to a large concentration of spires. And if they looked up, they would have seen that there was a massive grey wall splitting the jungle.

[Revanent airborn units]


The flyers soared to the top reaching it about the same time, as the ugf soldiers. The observers looked to the ugf soldiers there mouths opened showing there strange inner mouths. They could present a threat the soldiers were now on gaurd. The flyer units began to descend heading for the ground behind the wall. Once they reached the bottom, they would drop off the three observers.

-Revenants-


There was a giant silver dome like structure with massive spikes shooting out of the ground. The signals seemed to be coming from within the massive dome structure.


-Expedition team-


@Fezzes


The Hydrax looked up as the UGF and revenants had scaled he wall. "We need a transport so that we may too scale the wall." Fizzik said to Korwin. "Alright." Korwin said walking away. "HRS Invention. We need a transport. We have found a massive wall. The origins are unknown. But, the UGF and revenants have already scaled the wall. We need a transport immediately to follow them." Korwin said.


-HRS Invention-


"Captain. Word from sergeant Korwin. He is requesting a transport so that the expedition team can scale the wall." The captain looked at the soldier. "I allow it. Send one transport."


"Yes captain." The soldier said tapping in commands.

The recon unit felt the shake above but they ignore it and keep moving forward until they find a glowing that makes them curious. "What's this..?" One of Infantry slowly approaches it and pressed the glow, the basement turns online and the door ahead of them opened. "Where are we now..?" Rho looks at the map chart, looking at their signal. "It seems like you're under that spire's structure and you already passed the wall.." The raptor scratch his head as he kept moving forward while turning off nightvision googles.


They keep moving forward as they enter the door and the door closes, lights turned off again. Two Infantry and Four Raptor Sniper are keep going forward despite the exit was sealed off. "Let's keep moving.." They assumed they are already inside the domed structures but they enter it through the basement unlike the others that enters by scaling through the wall.

-NSA-


The reconaissance unit was nowhere near the dome structure. It was simply an endless tunnel that led to nowhere. Not even made by the civilization that once roamed this planet. But natural formations. There seemed to be no routes towards the dome structure. Best thing to do as it seemed was simply get out of the tunnels for there was nothing in it. Not even a route to the dome.


-Revenants-


@Lord Anubis


The revenants were the closest to the dome as there was a giant cave at the entrance of the dome it seemed.


-TJ-


TJ was using his 3D gear as he swung from tree to tree. "Guys. The revenants got a head start. There is a giant dome structure past this wall. If you can make your way there. I'll try and see it for myself as well.

 

[Ramero]

-NSA reconnaisance -


The raptor sniper still feel ease even they are on tunnels, "Well nothing ventured nothing gained.." Despite it was endless it was possible to find the way out. "The tech seems very advanced beyond us.. Like a forerunner or Elder Race but i think this stuff doesn't have a Monolith itself.." The Infantry nodded, "Yep.. They are quite pesky.." Meanwhile Rho prepares to advance, he don't want to enter through air as it was risky and he knew about it and he will enter through tunnel that was constructed by unknown. The raptor continue to explore until they find some doors, "Let's go.." Without to split they opened it and the pathway lead them to the surface, as the door opens they saw a domed structure but looking at their position the walls are right behind them but when they make a check they walked around 400 meters from their previous position to the north-east.


Soon after, ten minutes later Rho joins them as he want to report to the boss immediately after some investigation. Revenant was the closest to the spire while NSA was the farthest as NSA looks at the spiked defense, "This is going to be messy.." They proceed with caution as they went forward in order to rendezvous with TJ later as they saw many aircraft inbound to drop soldiers.

The observers landed with a thud, as the flyers dropped them of infront of what appeared to be a cave. The observers began to make way inside while one screetchex really loudly sending out a psionic ping towerds the fleet in orbit. The flyers gairded the entrance.


[Orbit of relic world]


The cruiser detected a psionic ping from the surface the ship's saving the cuordanints. The female higher life form looked to the main screen" launch in rienforcments monitor the other ships." She closed her eyes" My lord the planet has bin infested it is ready to receive the brood mother." She said. Tarus on the other end smiled" very well." He to closed his eyes. From the gateway several pods came through along with ones from the existing cruisers made way to the surface a group of 10 towerds the pinged destination. Then the gateway flared a bright red, as a large spire like object came through the length of texas. It slowly made its way towerds th outscirts of the jungle speeding towerds a group of all the races ships.

-Expedition Team-


The automated transport touched down in front of the wall, and the Expedition Team climbed in. It was a tight squeeze, as it was only built for five Hydrax, not seven; definitely not for seven Hydrax and copious science equipment. Wayoun looked out one side of the transport. "The Revenants are flying over the wall, Sergeant." Fizzik nodded. That could mean trouble. This planet could be the source of much conflict between our races. It is already grating for the UGF to be here and unslaughtered, but now there were the Revenants as well. He didn't like this. Felt like it was meant to do this. The planet has been meaningless so far, except to get many races in one place. Fizzik may be a Hydrax, but the racial stereotype of big, dumb brute is wrong, and that's doubly true for a significant portion of the Hydrax. He's smarter than he'll let on, especially when TJ can see him. That man is a ruthless, mean son-of-a-bitch who would use allies to their fullest extent and cast them aside if it meant he would have the advantage. That was his reputation among the Hydrax, anyway, and Fizzik had seen nothing so far to disprove that.


His train of thought was broken by the musings of Korwin. "To build something like this. Must have taken amazing scientific advances, and yet it never occurred to them to block flight?" That was something he hadn't thought of. He sidled over to Korwin and shared his theory. "Yes, Sergeant. I am getting much the same idea." Another communication came through from HRS Invention. "Expedition Team, there is a massive Revenant ship that has just jumped in. It looks like some kind of invasion ship. The Revenants are getting serious." Fizzik was stunned. In the silence, the voice came again. "Oh, and some unidentified ships have destroyed the Synbios ship." That was less critical, although Fizzik had to feel bad for the Synbios who were now seemingly stranded here. "Thanks for the information." He ended the conversation. He let Korwin and Wayoun know, and told them to tell everyone except TJ and his men. They'd both freaked out, though Wayoun more so. TJ was already seemingly getting intel from the Capital Ship above the planet, so telling him would just result in him getting an ego trip. There was no word strong enough in the Hydrax language to convey the disrespect and dislike Fizzik had for TJ. He reckoned the feeling was mutual.


-HRS Invention-


The Scanner Officer had dropped a bombshell. A Revenant Invasion Ship. Jeebep recovered first. "Communications Officer. Send word to Sergeant Fizzik. He needs to know." The Communications Officer complied. "Oh, and tell him about the Synbios ship this time." The Communications Officer grinned with all eight heads. "Expedition Team, there is a massive Revenant ship that has just jumped in. It looks like some kind of invasion ship. The Revenants are getting serious." He paused. "Oh, and some unidentified ship have destroyed the Synbios ship." They waited for a response. "Thanks for the information." Came Sergeant Fizzik's calm voice through the comms again. Jeebep really admired the Sergeant's professionalism and calmness. He guessed that's why Fizzik was leading the team. The tension in the air had doubled. The ship could be under siege in a few minutes.

 

[SirFlabberghaspy]

-Dominion and Synbios-


They burst into light-speed, leaving the planet below. The Dominion shuttle began to enter the atmosphere, tracking their Synbiotic targets down. As flames engulfed the ship, the side-exhausts of the vessel let out xenogen gas, extinguishing the flames as they came. Once they neared the grounds, close to the clearing, their side thrusters burst into action, reducing the over-all impact of the ground. A few seconds afterwards, the side doors of the shuttle opened, and Dominion marines began to exit.


The Synbios, who had stayed behind to try to figure out what had happened to the Spearhead, detected the large wave of sonic energy. Turning, they raised their weaponry and pursued towards it within caution. They detected multiple lifeforms of an unknown nature, though they were of multiple species.


-Vactus Prime-


As the UGF soldiers moved about the colony, they found a diverse population, though most of the civilians seemed unnaturally sluggish and depressed. There was almost no speech in the air, and the Colonial Guards themselves seemed pretty off, nervous at the fact that the UGF were here. The no-good conquering bastards could stay away for all they cared, they just made things worse.


Unbeknownst to the UGF, yet, half of the colony was actually within an underground district of the city. There, the slavers regrouped and retaliated against constant waves of Colonial Guards. When the guards retreated to the surface, the Slavers advanced, a few of them surfacing themselves.

Spoiler

Climbing into one of the many abandoned apartment complexes, the slavers looked down at the UGF presence in the city. Both worried and intriguied, they began to spread out, with the Slaver officer keeping point on the rooftop of the building. Gazing down at the city, he barked out orders to the others. If the UGF were here, they may as well have given them a welcoming party.


An explosion came from the central district of the colony, the market bursting into flames as a thermal detonator went off. Nearby, the culprits began to run into the streets. The team of slavers split up, half firing into the air, with the other half grabbing all they could and retreating back towards the underground district.


In response, the Colonial Guards would wearily pick up their rifles and begin walking towards Central, their depressed and weakened faces staring off blankly as they did so. In only a few months, the Slavers had basic control of the planet. The one hundred strong Colonial Guards had been reduced to a mere ten, and attacks on the surface districts were so common that the Guards didn't see the point in even attempting to suppress the slavers.


The people around the UGF and away from the Central district seemed unaffected when the rumbling came. Glasses fell from the bar's counter, but the bartender still somberly wiped the glass in his hand off with a towel, his eyes lowered as he did so.


"Don't suppose you could help, oh mighty conquerors?"

 

[MuchPsykers]

-Vactus Prime-


Some battle squads that were in the central district turned around at the explosion, as they pointed their assault rifles, carbines, shotguns, DMRs at the market place. When they realized that ht threat was not towards them, they simply turned back around and began to move again. The UGF armed forces really did not seem to care about the plane or for the people for they were not their business. But were also considered as hostile territory. The UGF soldiers simply began to patrol the orbital docks and cities like they always were when they first landed here.


-Asuka-


"None of our business." Asuka said. "We're simply here to replenish our supplies, and leave. We don't know what conflict is going on this planet, but I sure as hell know that the UGF is not the people who are cleaning it up. "It's the HAA's problem. Blame them for your problems, and the war. Not us." Asuka said. She looked back at her troops chatting away. She turned around as she took out her magazines which glowed a bright blue as she elset them on the bar table. She began to check them one by one making sure that the energy was full, and that there were no exposures. "It's going to take a lot more than asking if you are going to sway my opinion. Because i am the overall commander of this armada."


Her wrist blade began to beep as she tapped one of the buttons and a hologram of a soldier appeared. "General, there was an explosion here. We have not checked it out. But we'll keep closer eyes. Supplies are coming on scheduel. By our estimates, we'll be finished in a couple days. And we'll arrive back in Seraine on time."


-DFS Natalia-


"Admiral. The revenants just launched a spire." The captain said. "Where is it headed?" The Admiral turned around. "Un-sure what it's target is."


"What do you suggest?" The captain said. "Cloak our ship. And go to the other side of this planet. From there on, we will decide. If we should go shock point or not."


Admiral, you do realize that Master General and several companies of troops are on the surface." The captain said. "I know that. That's why i am telling you that we will decide afterwards. Because we are not loosing a capital ship." The Admiral said. The captain gave a salute as he walked away. The capital ship then proceeded to call back all of it's escort vessels. Once all the vessels were back in the hangar, the ship turned invisible as it started its engines to full throttle and moved towards the other-side of the planet.


-TJ-


"Admiral, what are you doing?" TJ asked as he tapped a video transmission. "Why is the ship moving from my GPS?" The Admiral nodded. "I'm sorry general. But it's for the safety of the ship."


"We got a problem. The revenants are guarding the entrance. I'll find a way into the dome. I'll contact if I need any more intel." TJ said before powering the hologram down. He then jumped down from the tall tree landing on his two feet.


-Dante-

The captain looked at dante before snickering. "I don't give money to my enemies. And I don't give money to scums of the universe either." The captain climbed onto the tank. "And I most certainly do not gamble because that's just a waste of my time." The captain then signaled all of his soldiers to climb onto the six tanks. "You should feel lucky human. That I spared your life." The captain said as a soldier tossed him a assault rifle which he loaded a glowing blue magazine clip.

The pirates and Dante would have seen that they landed close to a large concentration of spires. And if they looked up, they would have seen that there was a massive grey wall splitting the jungle.

TJ had jumped down from a tall tree as he landed on his two feet without tripping or loosing balance. He then turned around. "Just so you know, they're already made it in. And guarding it." TJ said before walking in the direction of the cave.


-Revenants-


@Lord Anubis


The cave was big, and it seemed to go deep underground. As they did so, there was a massive silver gateway blocking the tunnel. In front was a silver console with a weird glowing orb.


-Expedition team-


The hydrax would have found that the other factions were already ahead and close to a massive cave entrance.

-Bartender-


"Ah, I figured.. you won't find much on Vactus, though.. this place's a hellhole..", the bartender would go on, sighing as he weakly continued to wipe the glass off. A rather large bug began crawling across the counter, but he didn't seem to care. Vactus Prime was crawling with insectoids, it wouldn't make a difference.


-Slavers-


Those who began stealing away children and women began crawling back towards the underground district. Above, shooters shot anything they could spot, while a few armed civilians began fighting back. Stray projectiles sprayed in every direction, and another explosion went off in Central. The remaining Colonial Guards had been diminished, meaning Vactus Prime was fully under Slaver control.


Giving the news to his leader via COMM, the Slaver Officer stood up in triumph, jumping from the high building to smash into a small one below, growling as he spotted a running civilian or two. "Vactus is ours! You are ours, filthy alien!", the officer screamed as he shot down the two runners, blowing one's left arm off, while disabling the other's legs. "Good for nothing.."


-Vactus Prime System-

Spoiler

Nearby the planet, the SSV Valkyrie came out of hyperspace. The highly advanced ship entered orbit of the planet, and opened its bottom hatch to let out a shuttle. The Synbiotic shuttle flew down towards Vactus Prime, carrying the SSV Valkyrie's owner on it, Kelavia Nightingale.


"Lady Night, it would seem there's a UGF presence on the planet", one of the Synbiotic personnel would inform. Kelavia sighed as she processed the information, crossing her arms with a slight frown. "It doesn't matter, those scum can keep to themselves, and we'll do the same", she'd reply, turning to look over at the Synbiotic pilot who tapped on his multiple holo-screens. "Twenty seconds until landing."


"Got it. Open the side doors."





"When the Dominion sees the UGF, they'll pull back. And besides, we can handle our business here, two birds with one stone", Kelavia would explain to her men as they stopped right above the nearby ground. Hopping from the shuttle, they had landed near a ruin dig-site. Apparently, something of the old Synbiotic Empire may have existed here, or something related to its downfall, at least.

Rho pointed to the door where they come from as the door was concealed within the wall, "We will use that tunnel as another way in.. This structure is definitely important so there will be more than one entrance.." Knowing the front entrance was heavily guarded he choose to enter through side by went through tunnel. Rho already know the tunnel was used to be another escape so he will use that tunnel for entrance and exit.


- Lune Lumen Mothership -


Jacob keep looking at the spires through the monitor while he's leading ITG's Merchant Fleet back to Galleon Planet. "Our top priority is to secure what lies inside it, remain vigilant" In the meantime Jacob orders the Cruisers that was on station at the planet where Rho is start to deploy some Crawlers in order to make quick advance base while the main base have to keep protected while also able to reinforce the outpost as quickly as possible.


-CSS Cruiser-


As Jacob instructed, they start deploying the Crawlers in order to increase the security while it can also turned to a mini-base that produce vehicles from inside Crawler.

-Asuka-


"Ma'am. They're abducting civilians." The soldier said as he once again opened up another video transmission. "Stand down." Askua said sternly. "But ma'am. They're civilians."


"I said stand down." Asuka repeated. "Isn't it our ideals as a nation to simply watch defenseless people die? I thought our ideals were to protect innocent people." The soldier reasoned. "Not our problem. I'd rather not have another war on my hands." "Please general. I beg you."


"No. Stand down. My last warning." Asuka said tapping her wrist blades turning off the transmission. She then got up and walked outside and rested her back against he bar's wall, crossing her arms as she took a moment to breathe outside air before going back in.


"None of my business of my army's" Asuka said as she spun a carbine blade around and then stabed the bug.

It seemed as though that whoever built this building really did not like the idea of secret passages or alternate routes because there was simply one way in, and one way out. The other tunnels seemed to simply be put there as decoys or as fake entrances. And that was through the front entrance. As important as the building seemed, the being who built this was also not stupid since a one way passage was still a very effective security measure. But that did not mean that there was another way to get into the main cave. For there was a tiny hole beside the main entrance. It was a tunnel dug up which went right though into the main cave's tunnel, the only way into the dome which TJ had decided to take.


-TJ-


TJ knelt down as he looked up and saw the guarding revenants. He had to find another way in. But, he was not about to circle this entire dome and try and find another way. He cloaked himself as he ran to one side of the dome as he peaked out of the corner to see the revenants guarding the only entrance. He slowly and carefully began to walked, his back against the wall as he stopped every so often. He was about to take a couple more steps when he noticed a hole in the wall. Not that big, but big enough that he can squeeze his way in. He dicided to take his chance and knelled down and crawled in. As he did so, he uncloaked when he believed that he was not going to be seen.

-Dante and Pirates-


Dante watched as the UGF went off, feeling relieved. He turned around and faced the Pirates.


"Anyone noticed those walls over there? It's bloody huge." he said as the Pirates turned around to look. "Tell ya what, how bout we work together and in the end, you may take me to Black Beard."


The Pirates looked at each other before nodding and agreeing. James appeared from behind one of the pods.


"Dante, how do you suppose we get through this wall?" said James.


"You can still fly those pods right?" Dante asked.


The Pirates said yes as they all picked up on what Dante was thinking. To fly the pods over the wall. Everyone got in as the pods start up. The pods hovered slowly as they made their ways upwards.

-Dante and pirates-


Beyond the wall was a giant dome structure with spikes coming out of the ground. It seemed like all the forces were converging on that building. But, there seemed to be a problem, the revenants had gotten there first and were guarding the only entrance into the dome.
