Book #1 Covenant

Chapter 5: First Day Back

Water dripped from the ceiling soaking Aiden as he slept on the floor, he had lost count of how long he had been stuck here. Slowly deteriorating, He could feel it. It felt like hours since the last time they had come in to torture him, they kept trying to get information out of him, Aiden was just about to give it to them, quickly approaching his breaking point. He was surprised that the Galkara were able to speak the human language, although they weren't fluent in it yet or even close to that, they could communicate. He had been racking his brain, desperately trying to think of an escape out of his soon to be tomb. One of the long walks to the torture chamber he had noticed a weapons room. The only reason he knew was because a Galkara member went in once for about five minuets and came out suited up in their usual armor. Black with a tint of dark orange and red. Strapped across his back was a plasma cored weapon, he could tell because of the glowing it put off, and also two laser pistols strapped on each thigh.

A loud pounding on the door made Aiden jump awake. "Their back, time for me to execute my plan."

It had worked out perfectly, their team had split up just as planned and took control of three out of the four towers surrounding the flag. They were the first ones to hold the flag but were quickly forced back by the Spartans and Red Lightning. It was a stale mate as both teams put up a hard fight, some would be brave enough to run for the the flag but were lit up by the opposite team. The Spartans made their move and pushed forward with Red Lightning close behind, gaining control of the flag. They created a wall around the flag holder preventing anyone from getting past them.

The leader of the White Tigers reached for his communicator clipped to his shoulder. "Everyone listen up! I have an idea. Group's on the right and in the middle advance and give it all you've got, the group on the left will hold back until we can secure an area past the flag."

"This is the leader of the fire drakes, I agree but I think that the left and right should move in first with half of the middle, the other half would then hold back until the area around the flag was secure. What do you think White Tigers?

"Sounds good, we'll go with that. Everyone clear?" Each group called back confirming the plan. Moving up was slow but successful, they pulled it off perfectly loosing almost no troops. The other team was not as successful on pushing them back, as the White Tigers and Fire Drakes held all four towers, turrets raining down on them.

"This is team left. Be advised, unknown group climbing the walls. They are not part of the other team."

"This is team right. An unknown group is climbing on our side of the wall, awaiting your orders.

Samuel heard it over the radio inside his helmet, what he thought was going to happen was beginning. Josef was crouched next to him, he looked at Samuel and nodded. "You know what you should do." He said.

"Leader of the Fire Drakes, this is Samuel, a part of your team and the team that we are a part of now, with the White Tigers." He looked at Josef embarrassed. Josef could not hold it in and burst out laughing. "Man! If he responds to that."

"I hear you Sam, what is it." Suddenly filled with pride Samuel held down the button to talk. Josef stopped laughing, surprised and amazed that the leader actually responded. "I have an idea of what the SNF leaders are trying to do Sir." Replied Samuel. The radio buzzed for a while then came back on. "I'm all ears."

"I remember a long while ago that there was a battle against the Galkara, I think that the Leaders are trying to simulate that and also see if the two teams are able to come together as one to defeat them." There was silence for at least three minuets leaving Samuel to think about his plan. "Josef, what if they think it's stupid, is that why they aren't contacting back?" Josef had been watching the other two teams, the main one they were supposed to be battling and also the new team which consisted of mostly SNF Leaders. He then had a plan. "Sam! Call the other team. Tell them your plan and see what they say!"
