Mars, seven years ago
Terra and Phoboes hung low over the scarlet sky, the red Martain
sand glitered in the dim light. Demos glinted just over the bright
horizen as the sol slowly diped under the horizen.
Charge leaned on the red rock listning to the conversation on
the other side. He was still young, but gray was starting to show
around the sides of his oily brown hair and fur. One of the larger
of hifs spices he was verging seven feet tall, but lean and musculer.
His mouth and muzzel showed extensive burn marks and scars in
perticular a perfect triangel was branded on the right side of
his forhead. To perfect to have been an acsident.
He pulled a blaster out of the holster on his back, and turned
over onto his stomach, the old black jacket complained of his
movements. He ignored it.
The big mouse couldn't quite make out what they were saying, he
didn't need to. All he needed to kn ow was that they were Plutarkians,
and he hated Plutarkians.
Hated them from the bottem of his soul. He rubbed one of the scars
on his muzzel.
One scar shall be avenged.
He sighed, then turned around from the rock and stared to crawl
up the sand dune next to the rock, making sure not to make a sound,
the red sand was grity and rough, it got inside his helmet and
shirt, but he climbed to the top of the dune to watch the Plutarkains
work.
" Charge!" Someone hissed urgently.
He turned around, and almost sliped down the dune. A small black
female mouse crawled up next to him. Her helmet was on, but sticking
out of it he could see her white hair.
" Daredevil?" He let himself slip down the dune, next
to Daredevil.
The small mouse noded and then pointed to the Plutarkians, "
you after them?" she asked, her eyes flicked up as she saw
him rub a scar.
" Uh-huh" he replied and started to crawl back up the
dune.
" You heard from Havok, he hasn't checked " Daredevil
followed him, her small form easely keeping up with him on the
slipery sand.
" Yeah, he's on the other side of the Fish heads" Charge
pointed to a mound in the sand, a form was buried in the sand
on the other side of the dune. " He's hiding in plain sight,
like usale" Charge gazed at the mound.
Daredevil noded and make her way across the sand picking her way
through the dunes towards Havok, Charge was already crawling back
up the dune towards the Plutarkian troops.
Oh the sweet joy, it had been years since he had had a chance
to blast them.
Oh sweet vengence.
Charges tail twitched in anticipation. The big mouse grinned and
started to load his blaster.
Daredevil maneged to get to the mound of sand that Charge had
said was Havok. She hoped it was, Havok had a habbit of going
off on his own.
She got within two meters of the sand mound and stoped in fear
that she might be seen. Cursing Havok's methods she setteled down
to watch the Plutarkains.
Charge's voice crackeled over her COM " be ready for the
attack" he said.
" Ten-Four Charge."
Havok was good at hiding, so good he could have hid under your
nose and you would not have known he was there, this was exactly
what he was doing right now. In short he was a master of disguise.
The sandy mouse lay still under a thin coat of red silt, breathing
slowly through the filter in his helmet, the sounds of the Plutarkians
conversation coming through loud and clear to his sensitve ears.
The two Plutarkian guards had no idea they were being watched
by the three mice so they disided that this would be a good time
to talk about the relevence of what they were doing.
" You think it'll work?" The first was aparently the
stupider of the two.
" Of course it'll work, unless the Martains interfear"
the second continued.
" They won't interfear, they don't even know we'r here"
the first asured him.
" But a transport in hard to miss?"
" It'll work."
Charge climbed higher on the dune watching them, below he could
see Havok and Daredevil. Sudenly he saw a black figure leaning
on a nearby rock outcrop aparently watching the Plutarkians with
intrest.
The figure had a long black coat, a quarter staf was straped to
it's back. A gray bike could just be seen over the top of the
dune.
" Loner" Charge muttered and pulled out his COM.
Havok continued to listen to the Plutarkian's conversation when
his COM vibrated in his jacket pocket.
" Damn" he swore silently to himself. " Can't he
see I busy?" He slowly started to move his hand towards the
COM and turned it off. Sand ripeled off part of his arm, he quickly
ajusted himself so he wouldn't be seen.
Charge looked bad temperedly at his COM as it fizzed off.
"That sonova...!" he cursed and started to try to contact
Daredevil.
Daredevil was not as busy as Havok when her COM beeped she answered
it and got a very pissed Charge.
" We'v got a problem" he started " I just saw Loner
over that ridge" Charge turned over to see Loner's dark figure
on the red rock.
" Should have known he'd show up" Daredevil glowered
at the COM as if Charge and Loner could actualy see her expretion.
" Calm down, me an' Havok'll handel the fish heads, you handel
Loner" Charge said, he tryed to get Havok again, no luck.
" Gotya." Daredevil moved off to deal with the stranger
called Loner.
Under the sand Havok reached for the COM in his helmet.
" Charge, Daredevil? Come in!" he wiphered urgently
into it.
" What is it?" Came Charge's bad tempered reply. "
You better have a good explanation for why your COM was off"
the big mouse went on.
" I do, but it'll have to wait. The fish heads have a transport!"
Havok said, his voice showing faint traces of worry.
" And?" Was all he reseved from Charge.
" Shall we blow them?" Havok asked, already starting
to move into a better position.
" Yeah, let's."
The zoom on Loner's helmet fizzed off as he saw the small black
mouse move away from the Plutarkians, he sighed and continued
to watch with intrest.
He was middle sized for a Martain, with deep brown fur mared only
by a patch of black on his right cheek. His only wepon was a steel
quarter staff that was straped across the back of his long black
trench coat. He smiled and started to move towards his gray bike
as he saw the big oily colored mouse move towards the Plutarkians
and the small mound of sands shift with the movement of a Hider.
He was so adsorbed in watching them that he didn't see the small
black mouse moveing up behind him.
" Loner what the slag are you doing here?!"
He spun around to face Daredevil pointing a blaster at his face.
" You know the answer to that" Loner replid as he started
to move slowly intoposition to take his quarter staff of his shoulder.
" You wanted a piece of the action, I know" Daredevil
tightened her grip on the blaster and leveled it out on Loner.
"Right" Loner's eyes narowed and sudenly he swung the
staff off of his shoulder, and spun it up catching Daredevil under
the chin, sending her reeling across the sand with a CRACK!
The noise brought the two Plutarkians running with their blaster's
raised.
"Now see what you've done, you bastered, Loner!" Daredevil
scrambeled up to takel Loner, she flung her full whight at him.
They both when crashing too the sandy ground.
Farther away Havok, oulled himself out of the sand with a threaning
WHOOSH! Charge, catapulted over the hill, yelling angry death
threts at the top of his lungs, both mice quite fearsom, with
blasters drawn.
Loner rolled ontop of Daredevil clamping her too the ground.
"Ya got no business wid me kid" he lowered his voice
near her ear.
"I do now!" Daredevil kneed him in the stomach and pushed
him off.
Loner when flying up into the air, amazingly he caught himself
in the air and landed on his feet, right and catlike.
Chargw wraped one of her arms around the first Plutarkin's neck
, his blaster fiering down towards the feet, making the dumb brute
dance like in a Terran wild west.
"Alright talk, whos got ya ta bring that transport here!"
His voice was somewhat slured.
Havok finished off the other Plutarkin with a blaster shot, it
fell, blood streaming from the riffle holes in it's face.
Loner spun around catching Daredevil on unawares his staff, now
in hand he cracked it into her stomach, sending her gasping to
get her wind back.
The mouse then whiseled for his bike and departed for places unknown
to them.
A cloud of dust followed his bike.
To put it politly Carbine was mad.
Usealy she was mad at sevrel things at once, but today especialy
she was mad an oily brown mouse who leaned on the door in front
of her with a look on his scared face that told Carbine that the
mouse didn't care and probebly had better places to be.
She knew the mouse's name was Charge, he some times brought in
information, but never stayed for very long. She had heared that
he worked for a Comandant Nostromo.
No records there. Nostromo must be pretty tough to handel Charge
every day.
" So your saying that you saw a Plutarkian troop transport?"
She turned around angrally. " Here on Mars?"
The mouse noded.
"Charge,right? Even your sight is not that
good" she glared at Charge who shrouged.
" Sorry Carbine, just thought you'd like to know" the
oily mouse turned tail and left with out saying anything else
bumping into Stoker as he left.
" Seems you'ev met Charge?" The other mouse asked looking
at Carbines glare.
" Not one of my better experences, that is probably the most
stuborne mouse on Mars" Carbine let out a large sigh. She
sat back on a nearby chair. " I'll go insane if I half to
deal with him again" she similled rutefuly and sighed again.
" Charge has that kind of effect on some of us" Stoker
smilled. " By the way I confermed his sighting of a troop
transporter."
" Heaven help us." Carbine looked up.
" No, but we are getting reinforncments from Comadant Nostromo"
Stoker turned around leaving Carbine to her thoughts.
" Nostromo!?"
" Uh-huh."
"God no!"
When Charge had strode out of Carbine's office practicly the
same thing ran through his head as through Carbine's " what
a stuborne mouse!" he grinned though the scars and walked
off to the mess hall to find his mates, Dardevil, Painkiller,
and Havok
He found Daredevil leaning on a crate inspecting and ocasionly
yelling insults at the army workers, making repairs too the bikes
that sat dijectedly around the gargage.
Just as Charge came nearer too Daredevil, a young white mouse,
who was oiviously teird of hearing her, stood up with a flare
of arogence that Charge admeired, but found slightly anoying.
He'll get worse over the years.
Charge stoped and leaned back.Smiling slightly at the sight of
Daredevil arguing with the smaller white mouse.
"Hey messmate....lets find the rest!" he yelled, intorupting
what he thought would have been quite an enjoyable argument for
Daredevil, so he took specil pride in breaking it up.
Havok was standing along outside the compound, hs face duskward.
Upong hearing Daredevil and Chareg aproching he turned.
" Just got word Nos'll be _ere soon" he said simply.
Comandant Nostromo sat in Carbine's makeshift office, looking
slightly unconfortable, he was a tall black hispanic looking mouse,
long hair tied back in a slopy pony tail, a messy raged beard
gave him a _Fildl Castro' type look.
"You should keep your troops better diaplinned Comandant"
Carbine had her back too him. Her hands where tight with tension.
On the other hand Comandant Nostromo looked relaxed, but quite
uncomforteble.
"On the contrary Senioreta Comandant, Charge is one of my
best fighters, I trust him implicidly" Notromo stood up stroking
him beard. " My methodes may be unorthedox, but trust me
they work Senioreta" he gave her a curt salute and marched
out. His boot's metal tips making ungainly ringing noises on the
floor.
Outside the office Charge, and Havok were waiting, Daredevil could
be seen a little farther off weeling a bike into the gargage,
and arguing with Painkiller.
"Keep an eye on that Sinoreta, Mates....she's gonna cause
trouble for the ET Alliance"
