"Get clear of the building! Scatter now!" Ordered Volta 

The team ran out of the building each finding cover, as everyone ran they could hear blaster fire from the northern part of the base. The sounds of gun fire and blaster fire grew louder and louder as more troops got involved. 

"Get to the rocky coastal cliffs to the west we can set up barricades there and hold ground!" Volta stated in comms. 

Spirit didn't respond to the comms to avoid being tracked again as he ran towards the costal cliffs. 

"I got caught under some rubble, can't seem to get out... wrist communicator is damaged and I-" Skeleton's comms cut to static. 

"Never mind find a way to Skeleton, we need to get him out."  Volta said over comms. 

Spirit gritted his teeth and runs back for the briefing room with Cassatopia close behind. 

"Once we have Skeleton, we fall back to a strategic retreat of the rocky coastal zone to the west once we are there, we can fall back to the village and use that as a strategic setup, an ambush point for these forces." Volta stated. 

Spirit headed to the briefing room and started  to try to find Skeleton. He looked panicked worrying for his fellow brother, Spirit's eyes caught sight of one of Skelton's arms sticking out from a pile of rubble. 

"I will be right here once you get him out I will help him the best way I can." Cassatopia said. 

Spirit got to the pile of rubble and tries to clear it enough for Skeleton to be able to move out from under it. 

"Don't worry Skeleton," He turned around looking at Cassatopia "NO! Help me get him out!" Spirit said sternly to Cassatopia. 

At that moment, Volta had gotten to the scene and started to help Spirit with getting Skeleton out from under the rubble. Spirit flashed a grateful glace to Volta. They managed to get Skeleton freed from the rubble. Skeleton seemed fine at first glance. However at closer examination, one of his arms had a sparking comlink and was still trapped under rubble which Skeleton was trying to move off of his arm. 

Ok... my arm is probably broken, I cant move it too much and it hurts like hell." Skelton said in a strangely calm tone. 

Spirit looked at Cassatopia.

"Medic do something!" Spirit snapped. 

Volta lifted the rubble on Skelton's arm so one of the other brothers could free it. 

"Get him out of here, first we'll recover at the village even if it's just a few moments, " Volta stated, "Can you move your legs Skeleton?" Volta asked Skeleton before jumping on the comms, "Commander Aplam, tell everyone to retreat to the village to the west it's a better strategic point for us to  hold them back and possibly push them off for a while." Volta urged. 

I can walk... Just not use my one arm..." Skeleton said whilst grabbing his pistol "Let's just get moving..." Skeleton started walking. 

 "Are you sure you don't need me to help you with your arm?" Cassatopia said in concern. 

"We need to get out of here so we dont get blown up!" Spirit snapped. 

"Get going you three I'll catch up. I need to find the advisor." Volta instructed. 

"Sir, I mean no disrespect but, I need to help you find the advisor. You'll need cover if he's hurt. The medic already has his hands full with Skeleton." Spirit insisted. 

"No Spirit go they need sniper cover. I got my Z6 to help me and I'll give the advisor my DC17." Volta said sternly. 

"I am fine... just got a broken arm...I can walk and run just fine." Skeleton stated. 

"Then you three go, Cassa make sure he remains stable. Spirit provide them long range cover. Now go! That is an order!" Volta stated as he went off to find the advisor.
