The wind blew the sand across the desert valley. The hot climate didn't help Redy's situation. Lying on the cliff edge in a ghille suit, Redy had been following Kaos' movements for 2 months now but he'd stayed here for a few weeks now.
Infront of him, about a click away was a giant mansion made out of sand and sandstone. It was surrounded by open desert and rocks, making it difficult to assault.
"Redy, come in" a voice came in through his earpiece, he knew who it was instantly.
"I copy you Commander" he whispered back, keeping his sights on the mansion.
"Any movement at all?" The commander asked.
"No sign, i think now's our chance, get word to General Knight immediately." He commanded in a hush tone.
"You got it, commander Roome out " Roome replied as he hit the co-ordinates in for the home base of Jania. The Crusader shot into lightspeed instantly.
Redy didn't bother moving, it was extremely unlikely that anyone saw him and his telescopic scope allowed him to look without the sun glaring at his targets. "Come on General, you can pull through." He muttered under his breath.
Haanna watched The Crusader land in the main hangar. It had been months since she'd heard from Roome and her worried state had grown since her husband had been captured. She hurried down to the main hangar, not surprised to see Knight down there with Snips, hand in hand, talking to Roome. She strutted over and all three turned to her.
"What's the news then?" She asked, trying to sound strong.
"Redy says he thinks now's our best chance to strike." He explained. "Kaos is being held hostage in Luunna's Mansion, now owned by Jesa."
Haanna breathed a small sigh of relief.
"We need a plan of action." She said sternly.
"We have the planning room being set up now." Knight began "we'll be ready in five." Haanna nodded in response as the two lovers walked away.
Knight and Snips had bonded a lot recently. Talking about future plans, sparring and trying to find new recruits. As they looked over Jania from one of their windows, they could see the surge of numbers. The 91st now had 5 cruisers and at least half a million soldiers, all ranging in different specialities. Although nothing felt right without the father figure of Kaos.
"I miss him." Snips said as she hugged Knight tightly. He smiled and hugged her back.
"I know you do, i miss him too." He replied gently.
"Do you think we can pull this off?" She asked
"I do, but something isn't right here."
Before anymore could be said one of the officers came through on the comms.
"Sir, the planning room is ready and her highness is waiting for you eagerly." He said
"Inform her that we are on our way." He replied as he and Snips headed towards the planning room.
