0000 Chapter Five: Vengeance Strides Fourth

0000 Alpha Hold, Alien Troopers

“Move it pal! I want a kill!” an avian said as he lightly pushed another avian out of his shot. “Die! Die! Fikas los vaak! Fuckers! DIE!!! I’ll kill you all! Bitches!”

“Kyangka! Noskavos se yena! Here’s a grenade fuckers!” another avian shouted as he threw a plasma grenade, a blue explosion followed quickly when it landed. “Yeah! Burn bitches burn! That was for my great-grandfather!”

“Venting heat!” alien with four mandibles said loudly as he took cover, his weapon vented blue steam from the sides of his weapon. “Target the fliers! They’re becoming a menace!”

“Kyaku vok! Firing!” an avian said, a large tube like object was placed on his shoulder, he aimed down a small scope, a loud beep and a sound of a rocket flying off soon came. “Eat rocket kuvaska!”

The projectile screamed as it flew in the air, some pegasai dodged it but one was unfortunate enough in not being able to. The missile hit dead on, the explosion consumed a whole group of the flying horses, bits and gore fell towards the scorched earth, as well a rain of blood. The alien troopers savored each kill they inflicted, but no matter how many they killed more of those xenos took their place. But that only made things more fun for them and more satisfying.

“JOIN US!!! JOIN THE HERD!!!” more cries of the ponies echoed from everywhere, vials flew crashed around the alien troopers.

“Fuck you all! Fuck you and your kind!” an avian retorted. “We’ll never join your fucking race! I rather die than become one of you! Fuck you!”

“For honor! For Sanghelios!” a sangheli shouted as he charged with two glowing blades.

A wall of earth ponies and unicorns charged with crazed expressions on their faces, not caring when their friends were shot down by the troopers. The pegasai’s had the same motives as well as they flew at the attacking aliens. The aliens troopers began to switch from their ranged weapons to melee as the incoming horde of ponies charged, each avian alien had a very malicious grin on their face as they too charged.

“Time to die! For our ancestors! CHARGE!!!” an avian cried, his fellow brethren cried in union as they sprinted to meet their enemies close up. In seconds, heated plasma blades soon met the flesh of their opponents.

0000 At another area in Alpha Hold…

“Hya! Kaah!” an avian trooper shouted as he grabbed a earth pony and threw it over his shoulder, the pony landed painfully on the cement, a few ribs broke in the process.

“See yah in tatarus bitch!” the avian said coldly before smashing his armored fist into the xenos head, brain matter and bone were splattered across the pavement from the move. “That was for my great-great-gramps!”

“Dropship, unload on this spot! Sending coordinates!” a sangheli said as he typed something onto a holographic screen on his gauntlet.

“Copy that zealot, firing cannons! Take cover!”

The dropship turned its cannons towards a large incoming mob of equines. As they entered its line of sight, the cannons unleashed a flurry of plasma bolts and discharge at the mob. Nothing but ashes and blobs were left of the ponies. As the smoke cleared, the troopers resumed fire. Their advanced weaponry cutting down any equines on sight.

“Yeahaw! Take that you equines!” a avian trooper cheered as he jotted down another spot for the Dropship to hammer. “Fire at these coordinates! Hit the bastards hard, no mercy!”

“Roger, firing cannons. Danger close.”

The cannons then turned their aim towards a large building before unleashing a barrage of death. The plasma easily melted right through the concrete and metal alloys, a wall collapsed revealing hidden equines within it. The cannons fired again at the equines reducing them to nothingness.

“Onyx Team, this is Falcon just entering, dropping a REX at your location, the other two will be dropped off near your position to assist other teams. Heads up.” A voice over the comm said. “Here we come, take cover. It’ll be a rough landing for the mech.”

“Onyx Team take cover within the buildings, Dropship, Falcon is coming in to drop off a heavy hitter.” A sangheli said through his comm, the dropship rumbled before flying off. “Quickly, inside the buildings.”

A loud roar could be heard, growing louder and louder by the second. Suddenly, a flaming meteor shot out from the clouds. The fire vanished in a instant revealing another spaceship, underneath it was a large metallic creature. A loud click echoed before the ship dropped its load. The metal creature powered up instantly, bright blue lights flashed on, the creature then extended its gigantic legs and prepped for impact.

*BOOM!!!

The mech shook the ground as it landed; it slid a couple meters before stopping. The mech then stood up to its full 50ft height and gave a chilling metallic roar. Its attention immediately honed in on the equines. The mech roared again before a barrage of plasma and heat-seeking missiles shot out.

“Terminating surrounding xenos.” A voice came over the comm on Onyx Team. “Spec Ops Ranger Kaitos reporting, piloting the REX.”

“Glad to have your assistance Kaitos, push the REX further within the city. None of the xenos are getting out alive this time. We route up with your fellow REX’s on the way.” A Sangai Zealot replied as the troopers began to move from building to buildings, pushing onwards. “I’m Zealot Raikov, leading Onyx Team, my vice-commander is Shan Kin Ultra Rukeema.”

“You’re welcome commander Raikov. Keep your boys out of the streets, I’m charging through!” Kaitos replied the mech roared before it broke into a run, crushing those beneath its great feet. “I’ll clear out most of the bastards, you guys deal with the stragglers. Get as much kills, more friends will be coming soon enough.”

“I want to rack up some kills before we have to compete!”

“Same here bud, ready when you are Raikov.”

Raikov snorted in amusement before turning serious, he took a glance around him before giving his orders to his team.

“Go, rack up as much kills as you want. It’s time for some serious vengeance; try not to get killed in process though.” Raikov said coldly, some of his troopers grinned as they began to move.

0000 In Orbit…

“Are you positive Councilor Kairibo?” a voice asked, a shadowed avian just snorted in annoyance.

“It’s them alright, but who knows. If it’s not, well go to another plane and see. But if this is them, then the cries of our ancestors will be finally at peace.” Kairibo said heatedly at the holographic image showing another avian of his species. “It’s its not them, well…we just got rid of one menace from this plane.”

“Why haven’t you use that yet?” a sangheli in councilor armor said questionly.

“There are still humans fighting, I’m surprised they’ve held out this long. They can still be saved, I assure that.” Kairibo replied, the sangheli nodded lightly.

“Mmmmggk, zzzzkg.” A large bipedal insectiod spoke with a buzz.

“Hm, yeah. That’s a problem, but we’ve already made somewhat first contact with them. The damage is done, there’s no going back now. We’ll help them rebuild and…move up. But the main objective right now is to aid them against the equines. A dropship is being sent in to chat with them.” Kairibo said as he walked over to a wall and leaned on it. “They’re lucky that our pilot caught that slight distress signal from their satellites. But then again…we predicted that they would strike here…bad thing was…came a little late. Even with FTL or Slipspace.”

“Mmmzzzzk. Grrrrgh.” The insectiod buzzed again, the other holographic images looked at Kairibo expectantly as well.

“Tch. Don’t worry, I’ll broadcast the bitches execution when we get her and her little goons.” Kairibo replied. “How are our people taking it Councilor Konaze?”

The other avian snorted in response. He gave a hearty chuckle before replying happily.

“They’re enjoying it, the scream and calls are being satisfied now. Seeing the equines rot beneath our brothers and sisters heels and see them be cut down like animals. It feels like the best day of my life in a while. Bastards had it coming after thousands of generations hunting them relentlessly.” The avian named Konaze replied, the sangheli grunted in agreement.

“Indeed…my kind will have their vengeance upon them as well as your kind as well. We have waited too long for this. May the sword guide your quest my friend.” The sangheli said before his image vanished.

“Mmmmzzzgk, mmmmmmmzzzzzzz kkkkzzztztztz kikikikiki.” The insectiod buzzed, he too vanished.

“May Arane’s light watch over you friend, may her godly wrath judge and destroy the xenos that dared to extinguish and erase her children. May the other gods aid you in rid of them for taking their children away as well. Kelah sii vassku Councilor Kairibo.” Konaze said with a slight bow before he vanished too.

Kairibo stood in the room thinking, he had a large burden put on him. And he would most definitely not fail at that. There was a beep at a terminal, he looked at it before pressing a button. Another holographic figure stood before him.

“You almost here yet? You’re missing out on the fun.”

The other being’s head tilted sideways, plates on its head moved slightly.

“Though our consensus have not made a definite conclusion yet. We will fight on your behalf. Calculating time left. Complete. We will arrive in 14 hours Kairibo Councilor. Our allies will be arriving soon enough.” A synthetic voice spoke, a single glowing eye stared at the councilor. The councilor chuckled heartily before turning his view at Earth.

0000 Draco and Delta Team, Alpha Hold, Normal POV

“Let’s go, keep close.” Jonathan said, Draco and Delta Teams nodded in response.

The humans then emerged from the alley and moved into the streets, bodies of dead equines were scattered about. Though a bit disturbing, it brought relief and hope to the humans. At least now they were not fighting the ponies alone now, the aliens seemed to have one thing in mind, and that was to obliterate the ponies.

“Damn, they did some serious ass damage. Ponies didn’t have a single chance at all, glad they’re on our side.” A soldier said as he kicked a pony’s body into a fire. “That was for my sis.”

“The aliens are a wildcard right now, though they hate the ponies. We can’t be too trusting of them quite yet.” Jonathan said.” he aimed his rifle at the rooftops scanning for hostiles.

“Movement ahead!” Jonathan’s second in commanded whispered as he too cover behind a car.

The rest of the humans followed in suit, hiding behind anything to conceal them. The armed humans peeked out from cover to see a group of aliens walking about. The aliens had cautious and stern expressions on their faces and stances as they aimed their weapons warily.

*Snap!

“Accept Conversion evil ones!!!” a shrill voice screeched.

An earth pony that was hidden in the shadows charged out with a crazed expression, a vial was held in its mouth as it sprinted towards the aliens. The aliens barked once before they opened fire, the pony was cut down in an instant. Surprisingly, the pony was still alive despite its wounds. It lay on the ground twitching and still crazed looking. An alien trooper walked forward to the living pony, its metal boots clanked heavily on the charred concrete. As the alien stood towering over the pony, it said something once before lifting its boot and ramming it into the head.

*Crunch! *Splech!

Brain and skull matter splattered across the ground, the alien snorted as it scrapped whatever was underneath its foot upon the ground. Jonathan slightly winced, brutal…but effective in a way. These aliens meant serious business with the equines.

“Target Terminated. Rot in pieces xeno.” The alien said in English as it checked the sole of its boot before huffing. The alien looked around once to his team members before touching something on the side of his helmet. “Gravel Team reporting, we’ve successfully cleared out this block. What’s our next order command?”

“Kelaz skuva, kakasi no va kuuveh Humans. Torec Z.” another alien’s voice came garbled in response. “Kuwey vukanka nezku, evak Humans.”

“Roger that sir, signing out. Alright team, you heard command. Scour the area. This place will be a hot zone in minutes.” The avian said, the other aliens nodded before they split up in pairs.

As they began to move, Jonathan lightly cursed. He wasn’t too sure about the aliens just yet, still a serious wildcard in his book. He looked towards his fellow soldiers and the civilians. The civilians were scared and very hungry, the soldiers looked dead beat tired from today’s event. He wasn’t too sure about how much longer they could keep going in this warzone. And as if karma was angry with him, a baby from one of the civilian families cried out, hungry for milk.

“Oh shit.” Jonathan cursed as he turned his attention back to the aliens.

“Alaska dee?!” an alien said suddenly from the distance.

The mother tried to calm her infant down but only served to make the baby cry out more. The cry now got the full attention of the aliens. All of their heads turned towards their directions, a few aliens spoke and barked before they began to advance on their location. Jonathan made a quick signal, the humans then clung closer to the shadows and debris to hide. Jonathan noticed a child crawl into a hole, a small trail of red lead as well.

“Kolikey vaak gengu suah.”

“Impota kukira vaj.”

“Kula vees? Infa inka kawn nak!”

The mother then finally was able to calm down her baby and clung deeper into the shadows. As Jonathan hid under a deformed car, he could hear them coming closer. The sounds of heavy footsteps and clanking neared as he waited.

*Clank! *Creeeeaaaak…

Something had jumped on top of the deformed vehicle. Jonathan’s breathing hitched slightly as he fearfully waited. The camera then slowly goes up to reveal an avian looking around cautiously. A sangheli and another avian stood behind him looking as well. The leading avian looked to another of his kind before jerking his head.

“San, kulu vaki lo.” The avian whispered, the one named San nodded before jumping down from the car.

San’s landing gave a slight chill to the hidden humans; Jonathan’s was sweating bullets as he could hear the alien scouring around. He slowly turned his head around and readied his weapon, though it may not do much. It was better than nothing.

0000 San’s POV

San’s eyesight narrowed as he looked around. This was a perfect spot for an ambush, good shading, lots of debris and such. He then caught scent of something in the wind. He took another whiff before recognizing the scent…the scent of blood. He looked around him, finding none he looked down and saw a small faint trail of red. It was leading away and towards the shadows. His ears then perked a bit, he swore he could hear…whimpering? Whimpering from a child no less. San quickly turned his head around and signaled to his team who nodded before jumping down form their spot and walking hastily over.

“Found something?” his commander said.

“Yeah. Zuruu lift the concrete, I hear a child in there, I’m going for a grab.” San said, the sangheli nodded once before grasping the heavy piece of concrete.

“Got it? Okay…one…two…three!”

As Zuruu grunted as he lifted the concrete, the light given shined through and reveal a small human child crying out in fear, a young girl. San quickly then lunged forward and grabbed the child. She kicked and screamed as she was pulled out from her hiding spot. As she was successfully extracted, San put her down as she continued to fight and struggle. He held her should tightly and began to talk.

“Calm down. Calm down. We’re not here to hurt-”

*CLICK!!! *CLICK!!! *CLICK!!!

A series of clicks came behind them; San cursed to himself as well as his team members as they turned around to see other humans pointing their weapons at them.

“Well…this is eventful…” San’s commander stated bluntly.

“Let the girl go.” A human said sternly at San.

0000 Jonathan’s POV

“Let the girl go.” Jonathan said heatedly as he glared daggers at the avian holding the child.

Jonathan was quite angry right now, and fearful for the child’s safety. He wanted to make sure no one loses anyone. The avian looked at him sternly before raising an eyebrow. Jonathan was about to say it again before…

*CLICK!!!

“I don’t think you’ll be the one making demands…human.” A voice said from behind.
