The war of the worlds (not the movie)

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt walked out of the tent, glaring around "Who was responsible for letting the vehicle out?" the soldier ran a hand through his short hair nervously, jerking a thumb over to a young soldier who could be no more than nineteen "That would be Jervai commander... But please, sir. Its not his fault-" Kitt held up a hand, walking past the first soldier. Everywhere soldiers had gathered, attracted to the sounds of shouting. Kitt came to a halt and pulled out his pistol.

The young soldier glanced between him, and the others, sweat running down his chin. He spoke with a heavy accent "Sir, please. I could not stop the truck getting through with only a rifle-" Kitt spat onto the mud, raised his pistol, and fired. The shot rang through the forest and the soldier slumped backwards, blood spattering over his uniform. Red star men watched solemnly, while infantry under the command of Lucius flinched, and stared wide-eyed.

Holstering the gun, Kitt glanced across at his men, growling "I will not tolerate excuses... Double the guards, shoot anyone entering or leaving on sight..." And with that he turned and walked away towards the radio truck, leaving several red star infantry to pull the corpse away to a shallow grave.

The radio truck was silent and empty as Kitt climbed up inside it. Electric lamps cast the maps and equipment in bright light, dark shadows everywhere else. Kitt sat down on an empty crate and took a deep drag on his cigarette, hands shaking as he removed the stump and flicked it away.

He breathed out a long trail of smoke and held his head in his hands. He cared for them... He lead them... He fought tooth and nail for them, every step of the way fighting to keep them alive. And they repaid him with insolence, with excuses and treachery! With a low growl Kitt slammed his fist against the wall of the truck, hollow bang reverberating through the vehicle. He sighed and pulled out another cigarette...

They had to get to the lake, and then from there the sergal base... And there, he would find what he needed... What the Red Star needed to win this war once and for all...

max looked around and smiled. the others gave him a tour of what they called home and he liked what he saw. "neon converters, plasma coils, raiden hiperdrive parts, where did you get all this stuff?" "we scavenged most of it, after you were taken a lot of usable euipment was left behind including these." the young female fox talking walked over to two half-tracks from back before the war. "old tech met new tech and we riged a cloaking device to both trucks. once the lids on we can disapear and due to the mods we've made and the sensors we instaled we can avoid both fights and most terain that leaves tracks for others to follow." max looked at the armored trucks and simply smiled. "still got any of the R.C.R.S.S. project around here?" "enough that we can make mk VII or IX"
