"After so many years, I'm finally back in action. I have been re accepted as Grand Marshal, and I need to get this girl, Runa, out of New Melbourne and into the ranks of the Mobile Infantry, we all know her Dad, and we need him too. Get him, get out. I don't need anyone dying, so don't do it. Good luck." -Comlink chatter to soldiers taking on Operation Illusionbreaker.
"Wait, so let me get facts straight." Began the General, "Your father was the reason behind the illusion crisis, the one who made the world's economy collapse?"
"I never said I was proud of what he did."
"Holy shit, well, let's get him out of jail."
"Wait, he's in jail? For what?"
"Murder, simply. Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sure he's no longer insane. Hopefully."
"Oh shit, you never said any of this."
"I didn't want to say it, now. Pilot, get us to North Sanctum Jail. ASAP."
The flight in the skimmer was quick. Starsky opened up a bottle of grape soda and gulped it down on one go. Shadow was looking expectantly, waiting for something to happen. She kept glancing over to where he was looking, but nothing happened. The General kept talking on his comlink, she couldn't hear what was happening.
"Well hello there, pretty lady." Said a voice, Runa looked to where she heard and saw the ex-grand marshal. The other three in the Skimmer quickly saluted the man and gave their welcomes. It seemed that he was waiting for the perfect time to leave the cargo bay. "You told me they wanted me dead, now they want you dead as well. You know more then me, even though I was there. The coloney was done for, but why was your father there protecting it? We need to know this. We are dropping in with some of the Royal Shadow BlackHole troopers, hopefully they can clean the place up before we get to your father. Know now that Irrelus Empire want him dead, and UMOA are trying their best to stop this op. It's just us in this, the Mobile Infantry, under command of the Sky Marshal, have been assigned a KOS on your father. Of course, I've overnighted that order this one time, risking my rank. If I get this op wrong, I'm fucked. You're fucked. Starsky is fucked and Mr. Skrastins over here is also fucked. The pilot is less fucked then all of us, thankfully, so he can lead us to safety for a while until he wants out."
"You just said a lot, I can't take it all in. Let's just get my dad out of there alive." Runa replied, looking over the edge of the skimmer and noticing the jail beneath them.
Two more skimmers arrived side by side with their one, each full with Shadow BlackHole troopers. Shadow himself looked proud at the turnout-knowing that if this goes wrong all hell will break loose, so no one wanted the burden on their shoulders. "Right then, Grand Marshal, time to break someone free. Target is located in cell block D row 3 cell 6, C4 is dropped on the roof. Plant another lot where you land, you should be on his cell. If not, sedate the inmate. All C4 is dropped, now your turn. Green light in 3"
"Get ready guys, pilot has given us the details, all units get ready to drop."
"2"
"Holy shit guys"
"1"
"Lock n' load mother fuckers"
"Green light, drop drop drop!"
A loud explosion could be heard from beneath the skimmers, and then all the troopers jumped from the sides of the skimmers and started rappelling down to the jail. The troopers, once they reached the inside of the jail, set up more C4 to get to the cell they needed. After another few seconds, the C4 blew up again, revealing three cells each with an inmate in them.
"Alright, you three, which one of you has a daughter named Runa?" The General asked, waiting for an answer.
"I do, but if you dare hurt her, I will have revenge."
"I was hoping you'd say that. Come with me. Starsky, Hunter, sedate the other two. Prepare for lift off guys." The other two inmates were both sedated, so they couldn't recount the events that took place. All the troopers began ascending back up to their skimmers which they dropped from. The General attached Runa's father to his rope, so they ascended together. Starsky was the last one to get back on any of the skimmers, and soon after he sat down the pilot ordered all skimmers to move in formation back to New Melbourne Military base.
"We're going back to Haven, Boys. Can't fucking wait." Said Starsky, talking to one of the SBH in another Skimmer, they all seemed equally thrilled to Haven, which was the primary base of Mobile Infantry operations. "Haven't been there in a while, hope they still have that Poppy Fried Chicken still there, man that shit's good. Shame about what happened to Grand Marshal Poppy, though."
"She retired, like I did. Nothing bad about it." Responded the Grand Marshal. "Hell, I miss her yeah, but she has a choice. We all do."
"Sir, arriving Haven landing pads. We're awaited." The Pilot seemed a bit stressed, so the Grand Marshal knew who was waiting for them.
"Okay, Runa, your father won't trust us, but he trusts you. I know he does, just talk to him and let's hope he reveals something." Shadow told Runa, who kept staring at her father.
"Sure, listen Dad, I know you won't like hearing this but I've changed-"
"Holy shit, Brace! Brace!"
"Hold on boys, RPG fire coming from town centre."
"Shit, we're hit. Hunter is bleeding out, RPG lodged in his chest. Goddammit thank fuck it didn't explode." the intercoms were going crazy, everyone was starting to panic
"Get it together, people. Prepare an evac party, get some IFVs down to our crash site. All units, drop and re group at Lewes Street, you gotta get there ASAP." The Grand Marshal shouted down his intercom, and saw the other skimmers residents bail out of their aircraft. "Runa, you and your dad are VIP here, not me. Starsky, make sure to get them alive to Lewes Street. Shadow, get 401st or galactic marines, whatever you call them, to investigate when you get out of here alive. Jack, Pilot, time to crash into some faggots."
With that, Runa and her father were pushed out of the aircraft by Starsky and Shadow, who grabbed onto them and launched a parachute to land safely.
"Well, Jack, time for you to bail out if you want to. I aint stopping you, nor am I stopping you, Pilot."
"I'm fine here, Steve. Been a long time since we were actually together again, the two Brits fighting across the world, never actually being in England for ages. We're in this together, like we always were."
"I'm with you, boss. You can't fly a skimmer, anyway."
And with that, the skimmer crashed into a building which held at least four RPG users. Exploding instantly.
