The days following were always drowned in fear and tension. The reports to Prower Command didn't help much either. Always something about the Black Arms using unusual tactics. However one thing that kept the moral within the ranks together was the co-commanding officer of GUN, Robert Eclipse.
He had been known as an expert in interrogation, but in times of trouble he was a pillar of fire and stone. He had even received a message from the new Black Arms leader, Umbra concerning the surrender of the planet. Robert stood there and basically spit in Umbra's face. That had made him one of the most adored people on the face of the Earth. He was a master in the art of subterfuge and a very unpredictable in battle. In the event of an enemy troop surrender, which was almost never, he was almost sadistic in terms which the prisoners were kept.
Of course none of the more dark aspects of his personality were known to his fiancée, Cm. Sharon Eclipse. She only knew him for the man who had fought off the Black Arms on the night he had proposed. He had a number of weapons hidden in his cloths and even more in his SUV. He had a bomb readymade in the back of the vehicle that had blown half the street to kingdom come.
In the beginning, the military commands of Earth had been prepared to immediately destroy the threat of the Black Arms. However now there were a few new factors to take into consideration that was complicating things. For one, there were far more Black Arms on the planet than were in the last invasion. Second there were using new tactics that made them more guerrilla like but when it came to it they used the large space lasers to launch huge attacks. And lastly, there was no Shadow the Hedgehog to take down the invasion. They didn't have the help of the Ultimate Life Form to kick the butts of the invasion force this time. Now all they had was the Freedom Fighters and GUN.
Most people were optimistic about their defenders defeating the invasion. The reports they received through the media showed that the robotic army of Prower Command which was part of the Freedom fighters and the soldiers of GUN could out maneuver the Black Arms. But in every war there are reports that the public doesn't see. And here we will hear one of these reports.
Tails sat his command chair controlling the patrols outside central city. Even for him commanding an entire army was very draining. He felt two soft hands come to rest on his shoulders. Hi entire body immediately become and fuzzy (well, fuzzy on the inside). He turned around to see his loving wife, Cosmo smiling at him. "You need to get sleep," she said in her always caring voice. "You have been up for three nights straight. I thought we were thinking about having another," she turned her head to look at Lucas who tinkering with some of the scrap parts that Tails let him use, "you-know-what."
Tails felt a small blush go across his face. Cosmo must have noticed because she giggled. But he had to admit, he some rest. And what she was suggesting was extremely tempting. "I think I take you up on your offer. Just give me a second to put the computer on auto-command." Cosmo looked content and headed back to their room. Tails rapid punched buttons to prepare the computer to command the forces in the systematic pattern he has it in. Just as he was about to press the final key there is an alert about a message. Tails sighed He placed the mouse over the alert and clicked. A video conference came up with a raven haired woman in a full commander uniform. Her face was stern as usual but you could see the worry in her eyes.
"Commander," he greeted. He knew this was going to make him an unable to get any sleep for the next few days. "I hope this something important; I was just about to take off for the night."
She nodded her head. "I apologize for the hour," she said completely monotone, "but this is important. Look at this."
The screen went from her face to a video feed of a burning field. All in the field was the remains of some sort of biotech lying all around mostly obliterated. The camera slowly paned left to see the remains of Black Arms soldiers being piled up to be burned. They were bloody and many of their limbs had been completely ripped off. The camera again panned left now to see the remains of a stone wall painted red words 'No Light Shines.'
