A Dragon Among The Stars

Siege!

Today was the day of reckoning. Kiel was with Izakel and his team, advancing through just south, advancing through the forest, their destination is the far back side of the base, it will be their infiltration point.

Izakel raised his hands up before waving it up and down, indicating to stop advancing and and stay low. He pushed the com-link in his hear and said "Alpha team, what's your status?"

On the other side was Victor and Feng leading each team from the north and west respectively, each member deeply blending with the environment with the use of a cloaking device from Reago.

Victor replied to his com-link "Alpha 1 is in place, a distance from the patrolling guards, waiting your signal"

Feng who was stationed from the west also replied "Alpha 2 is also in place, just give the signal, Izakel"

"Charlie is in place, ready for any fire support!" It was a voice of a man, It was Edward. The grandson of Arnold.

Izakel was pleased and replied back "Roger that, Stay low and vigilant" He looked at one of his team members and asked "have we made contact with our Delta from the inside?" the team he was talking about was consisting of planted spies they sent through the years. They spent a lot of resources just to let them infiltrate the inner cores of the Stanfords.

The soldier nodded and said "Yes sir, They have breached the Surveillance room and have tampered the with the cameras. The drones are also disabled. One of them is already in place, we are in the clear to go."

Izakel nodded and gestured for the team to advance, within their sight was three soldiers patrolling near the gate. Izakel said to his team "Three tangos up front, make them fall at my signal, 1... 2... 3... Now!" and a three bodies fell with a thud as sounds of inaudible gunshots were barely heard.

Izakel Instructed "Go, go ,go!" as the team raced through the area towards the gate, Izakel knocked on the gate in a rhythm. Seconds later, the gate opened revealing a middle aged man with a lab coat, he gestured for the team to come in.

He brought them into a large vent and said "This is the entrance, it will take you directly to the second level, just near the relic's entrance, be quick we don't have much time, our spies can only hold off the surveillance for a short moment." Izakel nodded and said the com link "proceed to the second phase " the man nodded and went somewhere else.

VIctor and Feng on the other side heard Izakel's signal, and started their guerrilla assault. the team members moved nearer and aimed their sights at the enemy.

Victor pushed his com-link and said with a cold smile " Feng you're ready?"

Feng replied in a cold smile "I've long been ready my friend, let's do this"

the two both nodded at their team member. Seeing their team leaders giving the go signal, one soldier from each side aimed a grenade launcher above the base and fired.

...

A team of soldiers were patrolling along side the base when they heard a distinguishable sound from above. They looked up, barely seeing a thing from the sunlight, one of the soldiers asked pointing at the sky. "What is that?"

All their mouths went wide when those blurry balls suddenly turned into countless smaller balls, flying towards their targets. the soldiers were curious at the round black balls at the size of a marble sticking at their weapons and exoskeleton suits. It took a lot of strength just to pull them out. The leader among the group had a bad feeling as he took a closer look at it.

The balls suddenly let out blinking red lights, the soldiers seeing felt something dangerous.

*BOOOM**BOOM*BOOOOM*
