I had read up a lot more about Ingrid and her personal bomber squadron.

I learned that she was obsessed with the Iron Legion who where enemies of all free people in the world. The Legion almost succeeded but, The Solar Empire stopped them.

So, to this day the Solars and the Xers are bitter enemies.

I learned that Ingrid has wanted to reserve cut the Legion and use them to win the war for Xylvania.

The Legion was all conquering and practically unstoppable.

I also learned from intelligence that Ingrid was in Command on Coral Island. This was my chance for revenge on her.

As I T-Copter reached the Islsnd I noticed that the rest of my battalion was already here.

Walking off the T-Copter I saw that I was provided with a Frontier Battle-Station.

"Holy Shit" said Zach as he mouth opened up wide. "Damn" said Miles and both him and Zach starred at the Battle-Station for a moment.

I then looked around to see what else I had received.

As I walked through the rows of men I finally counted up all the soldiers.

I found that I had gotten 6 infantry men, 4 flame soldiers, 4 Anti-Air soldiers, 1 bomber and 1 Battle-Station.

"This is great" shouted Joe. "Yeah I'm sure it is" I said examining the Battle-Station closer.

It was a monster of a tank with two very large naval guns with several bazookas and machine guns mounted all around it.

It's armor was thick and heavy. The driver sat in the middle and drive the tank while others mounted the guns.

"This is a beautiful piece of technology" I said thinking about the Xylvanian Battle-Station.

"We should really get going" said Donavan sounding restless and impatient. "Fine lets get a move on" I cried.

As we walked out of the valley I contacted the bomber pilot.

"I need you to bomb the Northwest island and destroy anything that you can" I ordered. "No problem sir" said the pilot as the bomber fly over us.

We then turned right and continued are march through the island. Soon a Xylvanian squad turned the corner and opened fire.

I returned fire and they took cover behind fallen trees and boulders.

The flame soldiers quickly advanced and killed the enemy. "Lets keep moving" I cried as the Battle-Station started to move forward again.

As we walked Joe ran up to join me. "How's it going" he asked trying to start a conversation. "Pretty good I guess" I said looking ahead.

"So did you ever ask her on a date" said Joe. "I have no idea what your talking about" I said denying the facts.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about" he shot back. "Why did you have to bring it up now" I said. "Because why not" he replied.

"Damn Jeremy" I muttered. "No of course not" I said. "Well you should" said Joe. "How she's half a world away" I said.

Joe was about to say something when a shell exploded next to us on are right.

"This just gets better everyday" I said chuckling. I then looked ahead and saw a Heavy Tank bearing down on us.
