Surkov:" Nothing out of the ordinary on Level 3 but the hatch leading the level 4 says Containment area..."
Kasul:" Way ahead of you..I had Seig looking for Check lists and everything..but we have found nothing pertaining to the layout and or contents of this bunker..so You will have to go in blind.."
Surkov:" That does not sound very settling.."
Kasul:" It wasn't supposed to be....Proceed with caution and have your comm on open channel..I want to be able to hear everything going on down there for if you need reinforcement."
Surkov:" Sir...I have a request.."
Kasul:" A request coming from a guy who asks for none..this should be good.."
Surkov:" This Pvt. Hammil..."
Kasul:" Not another word....let me worry about Hammil, I am his commanding Official...His insubordination will not be tolerated Not as long as he is under my command..."
Surkov:" If I may Sir...what do you have in mind? .."
Kasul:" Nothing of your concern..Jamilie..Just continue with the mission I gave and keep and eye on Hammil. The others and I will join you shortly..."
Seig:"Heh... Disruption within the ranks already?..I can already see this is something of your own creation.."
Kasul:" Nothing I can't handle...I rather weed out the expendables before a real battles begins anyway...So I know who to put in our Vanguard.."
Seig:" Heh...Your leadership tactics are truly questionable at most Kasul..but you hear not complaints from me either.."
Kasul:" We're done here..retrieve Miya and lets meet up with the others...I think it is high time we left this place..When we reach the ship. We will try to raise the Precursor "
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasha:" So what of his lordship? ..."
Surkov:" -sigh- He said proceed with caution,..."
Sasha:" Very well.."
Hammil:" Whoa..Whoa..Who died and made you the boss..You're a scrub just like me...If I take orders from anyone it will be my own..."
Surkov:" We don't have time for this Hammil...."
Sasha:" He's right..."
Hammil:" I don't care if he is right or not...I'd rather discuss the leadership of this small little contingent right here...Right now..before I have to go through anymore hatches..."
Surkov:'-sigh-..."
Sasha:" Well if that is the case then..I shall take leadership...Seniority of course.."
Hammil:" I wouldn't call an extra hundred years of living Seniority..I think of that as more of a Leg up...."
Surkov:" You're out of line..."
Hammil:" Maybe..but the only way I will take order from a Chick..is in the bed room..with my Gun in her holster.."
Sasha:" ugh...Why you rude stark eating son of a sand lizard.."
Hammil:"Oooooohh.... I love it when the girl talks dirty.."
Surkov:" Now you're way out of line...Either you take point..Or I shoot you in the leg, take your gear, and leave you here to die.."
Hammil:" Hmph...I wonder what gave you the balls of speech all of a sudden..."
Hammil opened the level 4 hatch peeking inside, before he reached for a lighting stick. He shook it lightly, before he tossed it inside to light up their entry point. Their eye looked about and saw onyl empty and open Cells.
Surkov:" Cells?...."
Sasha:" Open..Cells.."
Surkov:" not a good sign....weapons at the ready..Hammil..You're back on point..."
Hammil:" Figured you'd say that..and personally...you can shove it up your a**!..cause if you wanna get through this place..you are gonna have to take point ya damn self...I take no orders from you..anyway"
Surkov:" -Sigh- "
Sasha:" If the swine is not up to snuff... I'll take point...just make sure nothing hits me from behind...:"
Hammil:" Trust me...The only thing that will be hitting you from the back is me..."
Sasha:" I wasn't talking you, swine...I was talking to Surkov...don't let " Anything" get me from behind...Sir Silent Knight"
Surkov:" Heh..You got it.."
Hammil:" Ooh..Well aren't you special....but We'll see who's snake finds the cave first, Mr. Knight.. "
------------------------------------------
Kasul:"-sigh- A fruitful conversation between them as always...It will be by the gods' graces this mission ends in the next 5 minutes..."
Seig:" We're never that lucky..."
Miya:" 5 minutes...isn't that just enough time to-"
Kasul and Seig:" Exactly..."
-----------------------------------------
Sasha:" You. guys smell that.."
Surkov:" Yeah..."
Hammil:" Forget about smelling.....Its right there.."
Sasha:" How long has it been down here..."
Surkov:" Not long...or this whole level of corridors..would have been smelling just as bad..."
Sasha:" Ugh...In that case lets keep moving..."
Light taps upon the metal grated floors showed a very small crab like creature crawled from one of the locked cells. Sasha knelled down and pet the creature for it to snap is claws at her and give a tiny hiss.
Sasha:" Awh..it's sort of cute in baby sort of way..."
Surkov:" I'm sure the brethren are not far behind..."
Sasha:" Ugh..whats on its outer shell..it smells horrid..."
Surkov:"Looks like placenta...but I've got the most ill feeling we're being watched..."
Hammil:" Oh s**t...Of all the damn places to be..."
Sasha:" By the gods...They're everywhere.."
Surkov:" They have set up shop...after the inhabitant evacuated.."
Hammil:" Or they they became the damn food..."
A large thud was heard and the chattering of pincers. The queen emerged from above and slowly lowered herself to the sight of the small contingent.
Hammil:" Just when we thought this damn mission could gain more s**t..."
Sasha:" No one make any sudden moves..."
Hammil:' This time I think I will take that suggestion.."
Surkov:" Um...Fearless leader? ..."
Kasul:" Yes...."
Surkov:"I think its high time you got down here... looks like we are on the menu.."
Kasul:" How many..."
Surkov:" One..."
Kasul:" You can handle one..."
Surkov:" Not this.."one"..."
Kasul:" I see......I'll be there in a few cycles, try not to get eaten...."
Surkov:" Way ahead of you, Sir..."
Sasha:" So what did he say..."
Surkov:" Run Away..."
The party turned and tucked tail with the queen in quick pursuit, a three way split occurred up ahead and each split down a respective paths. The Queen stayed on Surkov as he jumped down into the cell loading area and kept his pace.
Surkov:" Sash!...Alittle help..."
He legs took her to the upper level where she saw Surkov being pursued. Her quick thinking found the loading crane for the cells, but with no power it was useless.
Sasha:" Surkov! lead it back this way...Hammil!...Shoot the chain! "
Hammil was below and saw the idea that was developing, He placed a round in the chamber and loaded his weapon. His aim was shaky at best, and The queen gained on Surkov and he looked back to see the Film covered jaws swooping down upon, just as Hammil pulled the trigger. The bullet clipped the chain just enough for gravity to do the rest. The fell upon The Queen and the floor buckled with the weight of the cage the creature fell to its doom through a weak portion of the floor. Surkov caught his breath as Sasha made her way down a ladder. Hammil rested his riffle upon his shoulder.
Hammil:" Not such a bad shot..."
Surkov:" Hell had to have frozen over by now...Since when did you become a team player?..."
Sasha:" Thanks Hammil....."
Hammil:" Heh Civil duty..."
Surkov:" Yeah, right.. "
Sasha:" Lets get out of here..."
The Queen would spring forth from the caved in hole, her family pouring out of the hole in massive amounts. Their eyes grew large as they made a break for the door, Surkov and Hammil putting aside differences began firing upon the in-crouching crabspiders. Kasul appeared from the hatch leading to another area motioning them to hurry. Three more shots fired off each deflecting of the thick shell of the Queen, as Hammil was the last one through before Kasul sealed the hatch.
Kasul:" Well..thats twice you owe me for saving your a**..."
Hammil:" Does it look like I give a damn..."
Kasul:" Nope...but I saw what you did..Good job..."
Hammil:" Oh wow...Do I get a gold star now..."
Kasul:" Not a damn thing.... but you do get a ride out of here..."
The Queen would burst through the wall of her temporary prison along with the other types of her creatures. Kasul pushed hammil forward who proceeded to run, Kasul looked back to see the support struts get toppled, before he ran to the Level 5 catwalks that would ultimately take them to the docks. The Laharian ran with earnest as the ceiling behind him began buckling jumping to a catwalk his landing jarring the metal loose from the stone walls. He caught his balance before seeing the crabspiders right on his six, the sound of his boots hitting the metal swiftly as he tried to catch up with the group. Seig and Miya were already in the boat trying to start the engines, after numerous tries a swift kick and a punch got every back in working order. Surkov, Hammil, and Sasha were next upon reaching. Kasul had fallen behind making sure that Hammil got to the catwalk. The Laharian saw his predicament, looking back he ran towards creatures before kicking off the railing sent him over the side. A delayed diving front flip landing him on the catwalk below, he collapsed upon landing to spread the force of impact. before running to the other side to see his only route cut off. Boulders from the caverns fell from the ceiling bending the cat walk, forcing the old metal to rip from the wall falling to another cat walk jarring the Laharian from his balance before rolling out the way of a falling boulder, causing more and more of the metal work to fall him upon it. The dust settled and not grey covered Kasul spat a bit of blood from his mouth as he stared the The queen down face to face, some of its appendages missing the other creature fleeing back to the cracks of the tunnels.
Seig:" Surkov..untie the Boat..."
Hammil:" Are you sure this thing can float..."
Seig:" Don't Know we'll see..."
Sasha:" He's cornered....."
Seig:" He'll be fine, Kasul is not stupid...but we'll be crush by the debris if we wait for him...we have to go now!..."
Seig wasted not time in pushing the throttle, The boats hind end dug into the water as it slowly pushed out of its dock. Kasul on the other hand had something else on his plate. His right hand had secretly slipped into the side bag he carried with him. The four ERBs he carried with him were placed within his fingers. The queen continue on its rampage knocking down support struts and walls where ever she turned. The whole bunker was coming down around him and his ride was leaving. His eye spotted the sliding rocks from the ceiling, and a classic smirk came upon his lips. The Queen broke the stare down, lashing out at him. Kasul swiftly jumped to his right hurling the charged ERBs at the ceiling. Four large explosions rocked the bunker causing it to collapse a bit further and large pile of debris to fall upon the queen breaking its armor killing it in the process. The Laharian came out of his dive with a roll, before tucking tail. His eye focused on the moving boat as it had gained speed and his leg would not be able to keep up. Boulders falling around the Laharian and his running was getting shorter and shorter, until his final steps were taken, the cave in from a wall covered the rest of his running area. Kasul leaped from the distance he had covered the ground shattered below his feet, as he was hurled towards the boat, his landing causing the vessel to rock roughly in the water, as it made it way out of the collapsing tunnel. Kasul fell back against his bottom catching his breath as the team that Kasul entered with looked on in awe.
Hammil:" Okay...How the ******** did you do that..."
Kasul:" Do what.."
Surkov:" That...What you just did...."
Hammil:" Hell..He broke the ******** ground...How the ******** did you do that..."
Kasul rose to his feet dusting himself off, before walking to the front of the floating vessel. Just as their guide has said the rains had started and the storm raged above. His Ragna comm surged and crackled. The voice of Marla spoke.
Marla:" Commander...Commander"
Kasul:" Marla...."
Marla:" Oh Thank God...I finally reached you...You've not answered your comm link for hours...It's nearly day break.."
Kasul:" Well we were a bit indisposed at the moment...Are you all okay..the last transmission it sounded as if you guys were in a bit of trouble.."
Marla:" Trouble is the half of it sir...The Precursor has been grounded permanently...Sicilly is really banged up..and so is Raja..."
Kasul:" What about you and Barlow?:..."
Marla:" I'm fine...just a few minor cuts and bruises...but..."
Kasul:" I understand....where is your location..."
Marla:" At my estimate..about 2 kilometers from the Village..and five from the river..."
Kasul:" Alright...Sit tight..We're on our way..."
Marla:" Yes Sir..but hurry it up...I think those things might come back..."
Kasul:" Understood.. "
---------------------------------------------
Marok looked onwards as the Laharian's vessel of escape floated away. A look of malcontent and disgust before a nasty sneer appeared upon his face and his eyes grew more ferel. A hidden device appeared from the side bag of Marok and a light toss placed it upon the cliff. A projection of Jakal sitting comfortingly in a chair appeared.
Marok:" Jakal...They destroyed the Bunker and the creatures set there..."
Jakal:" I expected nonetheless from my own blood sibling...Though failure seldom happens..and it still does not sit well within my stomach..or on my conscience."
Marok:" My apologies..."
Jakal:" No apologies...I just want results...and I think it is high time you gave them to me after what I have provided you and your people with...Show me how grateful you are..and indeed the rewards will be great...."
Marok:" You have my word, you can count on me...Marok out.."
----------------------------------------------------
The other Rahul sat with his safe house in Artuk. His thoughts befuddled by his younger siblings excursion into his territory. His thoughts moved ahead. His legs uncrossed and his eye opened as he approached a holographic construct.
Jakal:" I hope so Marok....but Hope is the same as luck..and Luck is for people without skill.."
Aeris:" Well spoken, but you have that glint in your eye again..What is our next move?. "
Jakal:" I think it is high time we started...to expand our alittle contingent a small bit, and I have the perfect candidate..."
Aeris:" You know I'm a curious feline....please do tell.."
Jakal:" In due time...but for now..the pieces are in play and its our turn to make the moves...Shift...Retract all funds from the underground.. and use the money to secure us and transport, there is someone very important I want to meet.."
Shift:' Fine...but I wonder what has you all shaken astir..."
Jakal:" I think its time to move our efforts to a much larger scale..."
Jakal would slid his arms back under his cloak before moving to the hanger area of their safe house.
---------------------------------------------------------
Kasul:" -shivers- ..."
Seig:" Chilly.."
Kasul:" I just got a bad feeling about something...hurry up and get us to shore...we have to reach Marla and the Precursor quickly.."
Seig:" Well There is as good of place as Any...and it puts you only 4 kilometers away from crash site..."
Kasul:" Here's the plan...Surkov you're with me....Hammil, Sasha ,Seig, secure the departure point...Miya..I want you to look below and see what medical Supplies and other items this hunk of junk has, I want you ready to treat the wounded.....Everyone has their orders....move out..."
Hammil:" Why do I have to stay with the boat..."
Kasul:" Cause it is an order...and no one else here is trained in firearms....Seig...If we are not back here in an hour...move up shore...let's go.."
Kasul and Surkov trekked into the marshlands as they had earlier. Kasul slipped a finger along his ragna comm, activating the beacon implanted inside the transport. Surkov took this chance to get a better understanding of what and whom he was now fighting.working for.
Surkov:" Commander..."
Kasul:" What is it?"
Surkov:" What did you do back there....I've never seen a human do that before..."
Kasul:" Why do you care so.."
Surkov:" I care..for it blew my whole perspective of what the human body can do..."
Kasul:" Hehehe...The human body can be adaptive to many things...My own and the bodies of my fellow Laharians is attuned to what is called the Ragna Flow or Chi..."
Surkov:" Ragna Flow?..."
Kasul:" I expect you to not understand...since our customs are not your own..as with the other commissioned officers. The Ragna Flow is all around and abundant, It courses through every planet, every star, every object..We have trained in turning this to our advantage in battle, life, and beyond. "
Surkov:" That great sir..but that still does not explain how you cleared a 30 foot jump.."
Kasul:" I liked you better when you were the silent type...I cleared that jump by concentrating a bit of my ragna flow into that jump. I stored the built pressure within my body and released it at the right moment."
Surkov:"Awh..sort of like a loaded canon or rifle "
Kasul:" Correct..You can learn to do this..with training of course.."
Surkov:" I think...I will pass for now...I'm not the finding the whole essence of the universe type of person.."
Kasul:" Fair enough...Heh..Are you seeing what I am seeing..."
Surkov:" Marok..."
Kasul:" Just as I figured...."
Surkov:" What have you found out.."
Kasul:" This guy has been sleeping with the Enemy...There was no way he could have gotten out of the caverns that deep without knowing his way around more tha he led on...plus his scent was different,..his blood did not smell like that of a human.."
Surkov:" What do you think he is..."
Kasul:' Something else...come on we have to follow him.."
-------------------------------------------------
Marla:" Raja..how is Sicilly.."
Raja:" She is stable..but alittle medical attention wouldn't hurt.. Makes you wish that Miya was here.."
Marla:" I'm pretty sure Kasul found her..but how are you holding up.."
Raja:" I'll be fine...its just a flesh wound.."
Marla:" I wouldn't call being punctured through the side a minor flesh wound...you should rest until the boss gets here with some back up.."
Raja:" ..No..he told us to stay on alert...and my gut tells me something is wrong ..."
Marla:" Now that you mention it...its quiet.."
Raja:" Alittle too quiet..."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Marok stood within the marshlands with a small contingent of ten villagers. Primative melee looking weapons was held by some, crud looking riffles held by others.
Surkov:" seems we found some of the villagers...They've been in hiding.."
Kasul:" Really..."
Surkov:" What now..Commander"
Kasul:" We wait and see what they are up too."
------------------------------
Marok:" A certain benefactor wants the intruders eliminated...Leading them into the caverns, failed....It is our turn to finish what has begun with our own hands. I want you all to converge upon the downed ship..Feign loyalty to their commander ...and when their guard is down....kill the all and dump the bodies into a crab nest, they will take care of the bodies...then we will set our sights upon the others."
Nul:" And what will you be doing.."
Marok:" Creating a line of communication between the various tribes and villages...letting them know its time we expanded our territory..We have what we need thanks to our Benifactor.over the years...now is the time to use them."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Surkov:" Can't hear a word of what they're saying..."
Kasul:"True.... though they are still up to something no less..."
Surkov:" ROE?..."
Kasul:"None.. we just follow'em...see where lead us...and gather information."
Surkov:" What about Marla and the others.."
Kasul:" We'll pick them up on the way...A little detour never hurt anyone.. "
Surkov:" Yes..Sir.."
-----------------------------------------------
Miya:" I wonder what's taking them so long...I'm starting to get worried.."
Sasha:" They'll be fine....I hope."
Hammil:" I could care less..Your precious leader is not number one on my list of favorite people...but Sasha on the other hand..is the first meal on my menu..."
Sasha:" I thought you would learn...Come near me again with anymore of your crude comment and I cut off your testicles and feed them to the fish...."
Hammil:" Woooh..I know you like to play rough..but bit of energy for when we get a room..trust me you'll need it."
Sasha:" If you have time for you crude remarks...Then you have time to better yourself so the Prince doesn't have to save your a** every-time.,...we get in a scuffle.."
Hammil:' Save me...Please...That prince would kiss his own a** if he could...but he has all of your doing it for ******** Royalty...All they are good for is sitting upon their throne why people like us...bleed and die for them on the battle ******** insulting..."
Seig:" Watch what you say...Soldier. Words like that will cost a man his life if heard by the wrong person....You would rather make new allies than enemies."
Hammil:" Sorry..guy..but making friends are not my thing..but making sexual aquaintences is so my thing..."
Sasha's brow furrowed deeply and her knife was drawn as she let out a feral shrill before charging Hammil with a killing intent. Hammil was unnerved by the threatening gesture and shouldered his Riffle and was about to pull the trigger to cease Sasha's life. Seig intervened in the nick of time forcing his hand under the muzzle of th riffle so it the musket missed its mark by an Inch, his spinning motion sent a quick crescent kick the the cheek of crazed Sasha Stunning her before a swift front kick to the gut sent her back in a stumble till she caught her balance on the front of the boat, but his momentum turned to Hammil, with a quick chop to the forearm disarmed the soldier before striking him with the end of the rifle. Seig threw the weapon away and looked at them both.
Seig:" Sasha stay your blade from hence forth....and you Hammil....Silence your incompetent tongue....or I will cut it from your skull...We have enough problems dealing with other thing..than having to be a referee ..between in-fighting amongst allies...So I implore thee...calm thy nerves for my punishment shall be swift..."
Seig wasted no more breath as he walked away from the two. Sasha still eyed Hammil in a hateful manner, and he only responded with a quick kiss of the lips and a wink. She pulled her blade from the deck and sheathed it before moving to a place where her sights would not have to set upon Hammil. He on the other hand, shook his wrist lightly to wear off the effects of the disarming strike before picking up his riffle.
Hammil:" This keeps getting better and better..."
--------------------------------------------
Marla:" The Boss should have been here by now..."
Raja:" Give him..Time I'm sure he is on his way.."
Nul:" There it is the wreckage...Hello is anyone in there..."
Marla:" Don't step any closer..or I'm going to fill you with hole..."
Nul:" Don't shoot..We mean you no harm...we are friends of Kho and Marok...Your Commander sent us ahead...to retrieve and treat any wounded..."
Marla:" Thank the gods...we were starting to think you guys would never show up...^ hey raja..hand me that pistol..^ "
Nul:" Tsk Tsk Tsk....To bad..though Our orders were to treat the wounded with a permanent dose of death..No hard feelings.."
Surkov emerged from the mist stutter stepping to stop his run, before shouldering his rifle and firing a shot that hit the hand of Nul knocking the pistol away, with a loud grunt from the target, before Surkov took cover behind a tree. Kasul was stalking the Treacherous villagers from above. Thin chord nuece lowered in front of an enemies firing zone. A villager turned to get a clear shot at Surkov only to be yanked swiftly and brutally into the tree tops. The firefight turned towards his location, leaving Surkov to to snipe another enemy down by a shot to the temple. The Villager moved to different cover point to get a better shot at the two of them. Marla would take the distraction to tackle Nul onto the scrap ridden floor of the transport. Marla was not enough in her state Nul gave a swift jab to the bridge of her nose, causing her head to jolt back from the swift punch, before swooping her legs from under her and ramming her into the nearest wall. A stream of blood shot from her mouth, before her hands cracked against the spine of Nul forcing him to the floor and with a boot to the skull made him daze. She rush for the pistol that laid upon the floor, a daze and bleeding Nul tripped her feet, a swift jerk and he pulled her back under him where he mounted her and tightly put his hands around her throat and squeezed with all his might, turning flesh tone a bright red and her eyes bloodshot. Her legs kicked and her hand tried to pry the grip from her air passage to no avail. In a last ditch effort her hands stretched to reach the pistol to no avail. One last cough and the Enemies face started blur more than it had and would begin to go black.
Nul:" Die..Wench.."
Although, his grip loosen by the swift crack over the back of his neck, Raja intervened and a coughing Marla slowly turned over and crawled herself to a blurry pistol. Nul turn his attention to Raja catching the wreckage in his left palm was quickly followed up with a kick to her injured side, and a swift backhand strike from the attacker knocking her into a wall where her side was further injured leading her to slide slowly down the wall in pain. Nul's feral instincts began to show as his arm grew to a larger mass. Having forgotten about Marla, his left hand tightly gripped Raja throat and raised her up to where her feet, was off the floor. The claws he bore drew back before Marla got her bearings.
Marla:" That's no way to treat a woman you a*****e..."
Marla pulled the trigger on the pistol, and the bearing shot Nul square between the eyes. He barely had time to blink when his head jolted back, staggering he feel upon the console in front of the Transport before sliding off to his death. Marla and Raja's eyes grew as they saw the self destruct activated. Marla helped Raja to her feet and they booth used what strength the had left to carefully lift Sicilly and move her to a safe distance before the ship blew.
The villagers flew forward from the cover due to the blast, and Surkov covered his face and back away before looking on at the explosion. Kasul would land beside Surkov looking on as the wreckage and flames roared about.
Kasul:" Did they get out?...."
Surkov:" I don't know.."
Kasul:" Marla!?"
Marla:" We're over here..."
Kasul:" Glade to see that you made it out..."
Raja:" We almost didn't make it.."
Raja would collapse holding her side and Kasul quickly caught her, whil Surkov cuaght Sicilly setting her down. He quickly got on the horn and touch his commlink.
Kasul:" Hammil..Come in Hammil.."
Hammil:" I believe this is the first time you ever called my Ragna comm..I'm so delighted..."
Kasul:" Shut up and hand it over to Seig..."
Hammil rolled his eyes and shook his head before tossing the device to Seig who placed it on his ear.
Seig:" You found them?"
Kasul:" They are pretty banged up.."
Seig:" We'll meet you up river to cut the distance..."
Kasul:" Fine by me...out"
Marla:" But Sicilly..can't be moved too much..."
Kasul:" She is going to have to suck it up..."
Sicilly:" Ughn...I'll be fine...let's get going.."
Kasul:" Raja..can you stand."
Raja:" Ughn..Yeah.."
Kasul:" Surkov...I want you to travel five hundred meters north-east pf our location..and when you reach the river bank...I want you to call in Seig..he will pick you guys up. "
Surkov:" Yes..Sir...but what about you.."
Kasul:" I there is something I need to take care of...I meet you at the boat. "
Surkov:" Aye Sir...'
Kasul and his team went separate ways as the prince went N.west, and the team move north east.The Prince had a rat to trail before he got away. He had overheard Marok's plans, and did not feel like fighting another war at the moment. The rains he mentioned earlier had moved in and the weather grew worse. This made the rock formation slippery and hard to travel through even the Laharian lost his footing every once in awhile.
Marok reached the peak and saw the other villages and settlements below. An ambitous smile crept upon his face, before it was replace by a blade tip pressed against the back of his neck. Kasul had caught up to Marok in time, his heavy breathing was apparent.
Kasul:" Finally...I get to meet one of the master minds behind this little operation. Starting a war is quite an ambitious plan...must have took time to stockpile the currency to get those rifles and pistols...your boys had..."
Marok:" You think...Killing me will stop the feelings of the oppressed...we live in a marshland full of disease and danger, while you and the rest of the world live in your palace and city walls..living a life of luxury...We will take what is rightfully ours...by force.."
Kasul:"On any other day I would give a damn..but Today is not one of them. I am not in the mood for this s**t. Now Where is Jakal located?.."
Marok:" Like I would tell you anything..."
Without hesitation in his hand, a swift whip of the wind would sound, the tiny drips of blood would drip into the mud as the heavy rains cleaned his blade of the blood he just shed. Kasul was poised in a balanced stance the standing normally spinning his blade within his hand the blood flung away from his blade and slid slowly into its sheath before fading into the air in form of blue particles.
Kasul:" I figured as much.."
Kasul would make his way to the Summit of the low laying peak and would spot the boat floating down the river. He would nonchalantly step over the edge into a free fall. Marla would would wrapped a cloak around her body before coming out on deck, where Sasha and Surkov kept watch for Kasul, but Night had came upon them and they soon watched in darkness for Kasul's return, before seeing Marla join them.
Surkov:' How's Sicilly.."
Marla:" She is stable..but not fine by the extent of her injuries she wont be able to a gunner anymore....I think its for the better..She never really was a soldier to say the least..But I will miss her being out in the field with me...even though she was a pain in the a**.."
Surkov:" Seems like you've had it toughest on this mission...If you need someone to talk to..you have Raja and I...don't hesitate.."
Marla:" Thanks..."
Surkov:" No problem.."
Marla:" What ever happened to your whole Broody silent Bad boy soldier front.."
Surkov:" Hey..I'm not broody..okay.."
Marla:" I'm just saying this suits you a bit better...Alot of us changed on this little trip with the Boss..."
Surkov:" You're right..."
Marla:" Matter of fact..where is the Fearless leader anyway.."
Kasul would land upon the boat in a crouched positioned, the the landing cracked the planks of the deck and caused the boat to rock back and forth for a few seconds. He stood up popping his neck before walking towards the stern, where Seig was located, Meanwhile Surkov and Marla stared at the landing point with their mouths dropped opened, before looking at one another.
Marla:" How the Hell did he do that.."
Surkov:" I still can't wrap my head around it..."
Seig:" Found out anything..."
Kasul:" Not a damn thing..."
Seig:" Well it looks like we will have to make a stop in Bagria..to start hunting him down.."
Kasul:" Speaking of locations..where are we heading? "
Seig:" West...Don't know when we will hit a town or port...but I know we are heading west..."
Kasul:" It doesn't matter..We all could use a couple days off after all that..."
Kasul would pulled the hood of his cloak over his head and stand upon the deck in deep thought.
-" I'm on to you Brother...it wont be long before I staring you right in face..and this time I'll be ready"-
