Chapter 12: A Feared Day

"Come in Captain Tvankiv! Area 1 teams have met and reached our designated AOI! Do you copy?" Shouted Nubasik.

"Still no reply?" Asked Sergeant Revin.

"Nothing! Either way, we have orders. I was hoping this would be more fun though!" Blurted Nubasik.

The area 1 teams had landed and met up without any resistance. Their AOI was a G.T.M.I. supply outpost. They managed to gain access and get inside.

"They didn't leave in a hurry, but they didn't care for what was left behind. 3 crates of TR-89 rifles, 5 crates of Yielder 3 RL, 1 crate of DON45 smg's, and 1 crate of Phoenix 88's. That's like 50k in sterns! Damn!" Said a soldier.

"That's pocket change to Taunis! Ha!" Said another.

"Will you all shut up?! Iziaz! My house doesn't talk this much!" Angrily shout Nubasik.

Revan laughed while shaking his head.

"Hey! Got a universal purpose console here!" Shouted one of the team leaders.

"Alright, let the tech man do his thing. All you idiots find something to do in the meantime!" Yelled Revan.

Nubasik took a team to search the loading dock, as they walked around they could hear in the distance the extermination.

"Man, usually the 163rd Star Corps helps the Flamers! I wish we were right now!" Cried Nubasik.

"I don't, Gola are disgusting and nothing more than a parasites!" Shouted one of the Recon.

"Yeah, but it's boring here!" Moaned Nubasik.

"How the hell did you because a Staff Sergeant being this much of a whiny child?" Jokingly asked one of the other Sergeants.

"Skill! My Combat experience! My musk and my good looks!" Replied Nubasik with a hardy laugh.

An explosion was caused nearby, all the soldiers looked in its direction.

Another explosion was cause but a different direction.

"Meteors weren't reported to occur here!" Shouted a soldier.

"They're predug mines, something is detonating them! Guns ready!" Nubasik shouted.

Suddenly blurred figures appear running amongst the trees. No one could see what exactly it was. Nubasik gave a signal for a few grenades to be tossed.

As the team readied themselves to throw some grenades, all movement stopped.

Nubasik gave a signal for them to throw.

As they chucked them at the tree line, multiple loud screeches. As the grenades were about to make impact, multiple blurred figures started running out of the tree line and to the platform, but before they could get far. They were caught in the explosions and so were many others of the creatures.

Scorched bodies hit the ground.

"Is that some kind of fucking spider!?" Shouted one of the soldiers.

"God! Look at those teeth!" Shouted another.

"A-are those arms?!" Screamed another.

"Vernon 2.0, fuck!" Yelled Nubasik.

Rustling began all over the treeline.

"Shit, get ready!!!" Nubasik ordered.

The raised their guns.

"Sergeant Revan! We are about to be swarmed by some ugly ass spiders!! Everyone, cover all entries!!" One of the shoulders shouted on comms.

"Oi! Chill! Put this here and switch this. Ok and BAM!!" Revan replied.

Suddenly the station turned and defensive perimeter turrets came online and began to fire.

"Um, Revan? Did you reprogram those turrets?" One of the soldiers asked.

A few moments of silence.

"Don't move for a few minutes!" Replied Revan.

"Fuckin dumbass!" Said Nubasik.

The perimeter turrets were discussed as rocks or plants. They were mainly facing outwards, towards the jungle, but could turn to the facility.

As all the soldiers tried to be still as possible while Revan reprogrammed the turrets.

One of the men began to shake, he couldn't hold still.

"Private! You need to relax!" Whispered Nubasik.

"I-I can't! I have never been abl-" the private was cut off by hit to the face.

As he was talking, he had moved from his place and was detected. The turrets landed a few percise shots.

"Holy shit!" Shouted one of the other soldiers, who was regretting the shout. Seconds after he had shouted, they filled him with holes.

"Revan! Hurry!" Whispered one of the Sergeants.

"I'm trying! These things are on a sound and motion sensor system! They literally have no cameras or eyes! Not my normal area!" Revan replied in a very tensed tone.

Just moments later, the sound of fire and heavy wind resistance could be heard.

"Done! Um… guys? The radar is showing a ship falling down from the atmosphere! Do you see anything?.... guys?" Revan asked but no reply.

As the outside forces were shocked by the sight. One of the C.F.M. support frigates was falling down to the planet, engulfed in fire!

Nubasik slowly went to reply, "yeah… it's one of ours!"

One of the soldiers pointed, "Are those ours?"

In the distance, following the crashing frigate. 5 ships were flying to the supply outpost. 3 House of Devils dropships and 2 Devil bombers. Rapidly approaching.

Nubasik felt his heart sink, "BRASNIK SHIPS!! DEVILS!!! GET INSIDE AND PREPARE TO DEFEND!!" He screamed.

Nubasik didn't know why they were here, not exactly that is.

Nubasik's mind rushed with thoughts, "did the house war start already? Are they after me? Have the houses turned to the C.F.M. for conflict? Will we survive?"

As Nubasik and the others ran inside, the turrets had detected the ships and began firing but they couldn't hurt the ships.

One of the Sergeants opened a crate, "Nubasik! Do you know the weak points on those ships?" He asked as he grabbed a Yielder 3 RL.

Nubasik gulped, "I kn-now the drop ships! The cockpit area upfront and the fuel tank in the middle, easy to hit from above!" He replied.

The Sergeant and another soldier flipped some panels, the trackers beeped for a few moments. The Sergeant and soldier fired 2 rockets, as they flew towards the ships. The dropships use the few mounted turrets they had and attempted to take out the missiles.

As they closed in, one of the rocks blew up from the mounted turrets, but the 2nd one didn't. It reached one of the dropships and the dropship attempted to dodge it, but was hit. Directly on the side of the cockpit, causing it crash but no explode.

As the whole team started to position themselves for an assault, the Sergeant and the other soldier reloaded but were being accompanied by another 2 soldiers.

As one ran up with spare rockers in one arm and the Yielder 3 in the other.

"Last 2 Yielder 3's! Not many rockets left!" He told them as he ran up.

They fired all 4 of the rockets but this time it wasn't so good.

Before they fired the 4 rockets, the 2 remaining dropships fired at their position.

1 rocket was hit shortly after it was launched, another was shot incorrectly from an attempted dodge, and the other 2 missed.

Nubasik began to seal the doors as he saw the bomber bays open.

The 4 attempted to reload but luck was not on their side.

The 2 remaining dropshops fired a wall of rounds at their position. Killing the 4 instantly. The bodies ripped to pieces and parts flying.

Nubasik's heart started racing. The bombers were almost in position and the doors weren't all reinforced!

He ran deeper in for safety as the bombs fell and as he did, he shouted "Get deeper in or you're fucked!"

Luckly, the remaining soldiers listened and ran further in. They could hear the bombs landing and hitting the building.

The outpost withstood the bombs, for now.

As Nubasik help up with the other soldiers, many things raced in mine. The day he feared…. Had come… the House wars.

In the distance.

The dropship had done a roll crash, but most of the Devils inside remained in good condition. Many of the ugly 4 armed creatures begun to crawl out, very angry.

A force of 20 Devil assault units began pushing towards the outpost. Amongst the 20, was a 15ft Brasnik. It wielded a large sword and a large canon.

It pointed into the outposts direction, all of them chanting "Gashir! Gashir! Gashir!"

Gashir meaning, eradicate…

Side notes!

Go back to chapter 4 for a species revise.

The Brasnik are large 4 armed beings. They are split into 5 houses.

From strongest to weakest

Archon

Devils

Fate

Exiles

Nomads

Each are known for their armor, lifestyles, and behaviors.

Each house shares pretty much the same tech and equipment with very few variations.

The Archons have the best armor, lifestyles, tech, and behaviors. Nubasik is 1 of 4 children, that belong to his family line. The Aerdons, who are also the Velinzha. House leader. As they have been for generations. The Aerdon family allows all the children to be available as heirs, even the 1 of 4 Aerdon children, whos human…

The Devils, they created a war based culture. They have armor resembling the Brasnik version of the Devil. Feared by many and they commonly take in Dorgon Devils, also known as Thorned Devils. A evolved Snake species that resemble a demon looking lizard. The Devils commonly pirates, private contract, pillage, raid, and ruthlessly fight anyone deemed an enemy by them. Their tactics and weapons are brutal.

Fate, this house is interesting. They settle for only extreme environment planets. If no one will touch it or its deemed "too dangerous", they will seek it. Known for hazard gear and their odd helmet design.

Fate is known for its stealthy and dead shot soldiers.

Exiles. They are pirates, bandits, and more! They pretty much do everything they can to survive. They have the worst armor and gear but make due. They are respected more than the Devils though. They are honest and have lines that won't be crossed.

Nomads, they are constantly moving and do anything to avoid fighting. They are not weak or under equipped. They just like to avoid attention. They have barely any colonies, they live in fleets mostly. Better armor than the exiles but are shamed for their cowardice and dishonesty.
