The Fallen | Risen Book II

Chapter Ninety Nine

The Battle For Fallen Pt.5
Ace Baillieu

I was out of missiles, and out of charge on my plasma weapons.

"This is Carter, the ship is beat up bad we have to fall back!"

I nodded and turned on my microphone.

"No worries Carter, get your people to safety"

I checked the live display on my monitor that showed how many of our fighter planes were still left.

It was a series of outlines of planes, each marked with a name under it.

Only Two were left.

Shane, and myself.

Luckily for us, most of the fight up here was over. It was just the Hydra left.

I watched in horror as Cleaver got beat up by the Hydra. It swung one it's powerful claws across Cleaver's face, knocking her over.

The Hydra moved over Cleaver and dug its claws deep into Cleavers side.

The entire battlefield was filled with the mighty roar of Cleaver being injured.

I also saw the main ground force get captured by Major Skeleton's troops.

This included Kiera, East and Natasha. Activating my zoom feature I also spotted Max and Charity.

Max fell over to due exhaustion.

They were all captured, and I could only hope that they don't get killed.

"I'm out, what about you?" I asked over the microphone to Shane.

he flew next to me and answered.

"Same, we have to get that Hydra away from Cleaver. I have a idea, if your with me?" Shane asked.

"Anything, what you got?" I asked as we flew over in the direction of the Hydra.

"Grab it, and drag it away from Cleaver" Shane explained.

I shrugged, since we were out of ammunition I suppose it was our best option.

"Alright, let's grapple it" I spoke remembering that Shane and I were the only two fighter planes equip with grappling hooks.

We hovered down to meet the Hydra and fired our hooks, Mine stuck to one of the Hydra's heads stabbing it right in the eye. While Shane hit the foot digging into Cleaver.

"Alright! Back up!" I shouted sending my engine thrust backwards and starting to reverse. That's to the multi-directional engines that Max equipped I was able to do this.

As we started to move the Hydra, it's large powerful wings raised to the sky. 

"Shit!" I shouted. "Shane we have to bail!"

But Shane didn't flinch, and I refused to bail without him.

The Hydra looked down at it's foot and shook it a little, making Shane's entire plane shake.

The Hydra looked at Shane's grappling hook, it was thinking.

"SHANE!" I shouted.

Suddenly the Hydra flew back a few giant Hydra sized feet. Causing both of our planes to pull forward. Our two planes alone were no match for this powerful beast that was easily twice the size of Cleaver.

"My hook won't detach! Ace bail!" Shane yelled over the radio, I was about to shout at him that I wouldn't but then I saw his engines fire up forwards again.
