The Eagle's Rise From The Ashes

A Crimson Betrayal

2 days later, on board Kain's command ship in Crismon teams barracks

"Okay so we all were spoken to by the wolf pack when we first encoutered them, and they brought up some good points, and thanks to our rep in the Steel Talons we reviewed some of the footage recorded by Jc's prototypes and.... well, these worker drones truly are their own people, and very much like us Cascadians, and now we have the blood of the ones that were killed by the Steel Talons from shear association alone, there is only one way to fix this, we have to betray the Steel Talons, I know it sounds crazy but I just won't be able to live with myself knowing that I in a way helped a group of mercs kill a people just like our very own, we have distracted their best aces and other aircraft and that has resulted in the deaths of entire worker drone colonies that could have been defended by their airpower, we have to help those workers so that we won't live with guilt for the rest of our lives, will any of you join me?" said Demon. "Im with you all the way Demon," said Aurora. "Me too, I myself can't stand the idea of a people just like our own being killed off and that I could of lended a helping hand to reduce the number of their losses," said Lance. "Im in too, after all, someone needs to watch ya'lls six," said Titan. "Count me in too, I am your friend and I won't let you go do something this big on your own," said Omega. 'Thank you, all of you, for being my friends and being there for me all the time, especially now," said Demon. "Yeah, but we still need to plan this betrayal out, after all, we can't just shoot down a bunch of Migs and fly off into the sunset," said Lance. "I know, Kain was planning on sending out a flight of air cruisers to bomb a storage facility that has plenty of military grade ship alloy while we were following behind, which he was also planning to bait out the wolf pack for us to fight since we would be following behind, so once the wolf pack show themselves we immiediatly open fire on the Steel Talons and radio our intentions to defect to them," said Omega. 'Thats a great plan Omega," said Titan. "Yeah it is, way to go Omega," say Aurora. "Lets do this, Omega, do you know when he plans to begin this op?" asked Demon. "Yes, he is going to brief us on it tomorrow, but the ops will be around two to three days from now based on what I could see in the computer," said Omega. "Then lets prepare ourselves, we should load up more than the emergency supplies that we already have in our VX-27s," said Demon.

In the US main Medical base

"So Uzi, the nanites for the most part are finished with changing your CPU, they are still doing bits and pieces but I would say they should finish up in a couple of days, the rest of your internal components should finish in a week or so, your chasis has finished, though I wouldn't try seeing if it can take a direct impact from a RPG just yet, the metal is probaly being internally reinforced by the nanites, especially since they are already using our composite armor, it also appear that you might be able to change your hands into the different forms either now or very soon, can you try real quick to see if you could change your left hand into claws?" said the Doctor. Uzi then changed her left hand into a set of claws. "Good, now change back," said the doc. Uzi changed her hand back to normal. "Good, good, you have full control over it, I also believe your wings will be finished in about a week as well, once the nanites finish you probaly won't need to drink as much oil and you would be able to come off te supplements, you will have to wait a day or two once the transformation is complete to be upgraded, we want to ensure a perfectly safe upgrading process," said the doc. "Thank you doctor," said Uzi. "Your welcome, also congrats on getting a boyfriend," said the doc as Uzi walked out.

"Sir, the super dreadnaught should finish construction in two and a half months, and we already have around forty five captitol ship sized versions of Uzi's railgun mounted and operational," said a officer. "Good, soon we will completely kick the Steel Talons not just from Copper Nine, but from the entire solar system," said General Thunderstorm. 

In some random building

J was lying on a table rebuilt, she then got up. "ugh, what happened," asked J. "Don't you remember? that angsty teen goth worker drone killed you, I rebuilt you by the way," said V. "Oh...right, uh......what am I hearing outside?" asked J who was refering to the sounds of warefare off in a nearby city. "Oh, about that, you see.....that worker drone that made N betray us wasn't the only worker drone with some realy powerful weapons, shortly after you were killed and I was tyed up, a entire team of dissesembly drones went offiline, so JcJenson sent the Steel Talons to deal with it, yeah the worker drones apparently had a entire military just sitting there, and they have been kicking the Steel Talon's asses, also from what I can guess, we are the last dissesembly drones left on this planet other than N," said V as a radio she had snagged from a dead Steel Talons soldier began to play some transmissions. <This is the 52nd armor division, we are getting torn to bits by their close air support aircraft over here, where the hell is our air support?> ST command<Air support was on the way, but they encountered enemy fighters and currentely cannot assist you, just get out of there, the air support is probaly as good as dead all things considered.> <Shit, this is the 345th riflemen division, we are pinned down at 52nd wall street, we are pinned down and cannot move from our position, we need assistance over!> ST Command<Im sorry, but there is nothing I can do, every other unit in you area is under attack and cannot move to assist, your on your own.> Then a flight of 4 Aurora Bombers flew above the building, J and V could could only see red and black blurs fly overhead, followed by the roaring of the thrusters around a minute later. "Uh, were those supersonic aircraft?" asked J. "Yep, pay attention to the radio," said V. <SHIT, friendly units have just reported incoming Bombers bearing on our position, get to cover everyone!> multipe faint booms could be heard in the distance and that unit of ST riflemen went dark. "The workers have supersonic bombers?" asked J who was now in shock at the fact the the Steel Talons are losing to a bunch of worker drones. "Yes, and lots more too, you might want to go through this copy of comms logs I have to get a better understanding of the scale that this is on," said V.

3 days Later in the skys above Copper-9

Galaxy<Alright Hitman team, it seems that the Steel Talons have yet to learn their lesson about air cruisers and want to try and bomb a storage facility that has a bunch of our guys in it so do not let one of the air cruisers get to the storage facility, be advised, Crimson team is there, they seemed to have moved up now and are taking point now, so be ready.> Prez<Got it Galaxy.> Monarch<Acknowledged.> Demon<Everyone ready?> <Omega, ready to go.> <Titan ready.> <Lance here, im all set, lets do this.> 

Monarch<We meet again Crimson one, tell me, have you considered my words at all?> Demon<Yes, me and my sqaudren have been discussing it, and we know now, that what the steel talons are doing is completely wrong and imorale, thats why we plan on redeaming ourselves and helping your people fend off the steel talons.> Crimson sqaudren then pulled a 180 degree turn and blasted 6 Migs each. ST pilot 1<The Hell? did Crimson just go AWOL?!> ST pilot 2<That isn't the biggist problem, the wolfpack is coming at us dead ahead, we won't be able to fight both them and Crimson team, retreat NOW!> hitman team all fired 5 MLAA missiles each, and a single shot from their laser cannons, which finished off the measily ST airfleet. Monarch<So, you plan on defecting so that you can ensure that not as many of our people have to die? I am impressed to say the least, I was expecting you and your squadren to just head back to Cascadia, but now you can wash your hands of the blood, welcome to our little resistance Crimson Team.>

In the US HQ

"General Sir, Crimson Team just defected to our side, it seems whatever Hitman team said to them it worked, now that the top two ace teams are gone, controlling the skies from now on should be almost effortless," said a officer. "Well hot damn, we are really sticking it to the Steel Talons now," said General Thunderstorm.
