"Now Ladies and Gentleman, Today we will be DRILLING since of our lack of performance to the countries which seemed to, OH lowered our funds? and do you guys have any single minded clue why??........no?........BECAUSE YOU GUYS AIN'T BUSTING YOUR ASS!!!!, when you put on you armor you are dedicating yourself to fighting these Alien ASSHOLES, when you hold a rifle in your hand you are using it to kill aliens with high professional skills,and when you guys fight like shit you're not doing your job and that means consequences,which all means DRILLS, DRILLS,and more drills!!!! so put on your warm ups and meet me outside."
"Hmmmmm....always thought the Seregeant was a man of words...."Tom said to Squaddie and best friend "Dan Maglio".
As the boys and girls were being worked up to a "bloody" sweat the radar at the base started seeing blips and after that 2 Interceptors flew over the courtyard where the squad was drilling. "pssst hey Tom {pant} did you see that??"said Dan "sure did." "this means if the flyboys take out the UFO we're outta {HUFF!} here!" "Yeah but...I don't know which ones worse being drilled by an asshole not to mention UGLY {agh} Seregeant,or playing cowboys and indians with those Dam...{pant} Aliens.".
After Tom's and Dan's little socialing session was over the warning was gave out to report to the SkyRanger,"Alright"everyone called,but then the seregeant had to add something before the squad left,"You know guys......go kick their ASS""Really YA think?!"thought Tom.
Tom,Dan,and the rest of the squad headed for the lockers and suited up,everyone was worked up and excitied except Tom,who was taking it easy evadenttly not in a rush,to go pop someone's or something's headoff.After everyone was psyched up nad ready they headed for Sky-Ranger 2 {Sky-Ranger 1 had well.....A booby?}and loaded up.
The Engines took three starts before it fully gained power,everyone knew that a new Sky-Ranger was REALLY needed for they all fear that anyone who jumps aboard a Toronto base plane is likely to die trying to fly or die trying to land,so everyone in the Range crossed they're fingers secretally hoping the incident with ranger 1 is gonna happen again.After a succesfull take off the crew decided to relax and enjoy the ride for they were flying from Toronto,Canada to Australia Sydney.
All of a sudden the plane started to shake which woke up everyone that was sleeping which was everyone and the speaker which connected to the cargo area to the captain's seat began to crackle and said"uhhhh we're experencing air turbulance please buckle your seat belt,and then a loud beating noise came from the walls of the Ranger and then streaming red hot green plasma pierced through the bottom and through Tom's legs,which made him scream and reply to the captain"First of all captain crunch,there are no DAMN seat belts in this puke hole and second of all this ain't "air turbulance" those damn freaks are shooting at us!!!!!" at that moment the plane started diving down lifting the troops off they're feets and clinging onto they're guns,"What the SHIT??!"cried Rookie Larson "feels like we're gonna crash...ugh!!!"Dan got to squirt out before nearly cracking his skull on the top of the Ranger,then Tom said one thing that explained everyone's thought "OH,SHIT".
A loud crash broke the gun fire at the bottom of the terror site where the aliens we're shooting at them had stopped for awhile,acutually 5 seconds till the hatch of the Sky-Range propped opened and a X-Com tooper peered out just be greeted by 50,000 rounds of plasma by a bunch of Pschyo aliens with a lust for blood,as the tropper came back in everyone asked him what alines were out there and how many? the trooper who was a squaddie said"ehhhh....oh boy.....about 10 aliens and they were mixed with Mutons and Sectoids""Great....."called out another voice in the back""So how are we goning to do this?"asked Rookie Larson,"all that Captain Gerold could say was"Well..charge out and wish for the best"after Captain said that the sound of 8 guns were cocked and put into ready stance,then the Captain gave the single to open bay doors and just duck and spray,but Tom was already ahead he readyed a grenade in his left hand and held a rifle in his right,then finally the doors opened releasing a burst of night and the smell of the dawn air combined with the smell of ash and decaying remains of helpless civillans charred and abducted by aliens then the battle began and whats was dawn turned into night.
Tom was trailing behind 4 troopers with Dan at his side,he unpinned his grenade and chucked it at the mass of aliens,he turned his back to the blast which made the troopers at front squint but kept spraying the aliens 2 of them started reloading and one was shot at his shoulder but was not even bruised since of his armor and kept repedatlly shooting.Tom was crouched behind the fraye and was being bombarded by shells which didn't seem to bother him till a plasma that nearly took his eye out,finally 1 X-Com trooper was flung back and pushed Tom to the ground the blood from the squaddie's blood was dripping on his face and body he shoved it off feeling sorry for the guy and took a deep breath and jumped and statred releasing his pay load on the enemy ahead 2 fell down 1 shot by Captain Gerold and 1 by Larson then in the back of a muton Tom saw a sctoid doing something wierd behind the fire until it came out and was holding a blaster bomb and was pointing directlly at Tom!"GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!"Tom screamed,then instanally everyone jumped ouuta where they last stood and seconds later the bomb struck the where they stood leaving the biggest mother f*ckingist hole they've ever seen, thats when Tom got up and layed who knows how many holes in the little sectoids head but enough holes that nothing except a chunk of its brain which was already pierced with a bullet layed drooling out they're so called blood,then the captain screamed out everyone scatter and use the buddy system!!"so Dan and Tom grouped up and ran to a gas station and Larson and Gerold ran to the libary only a few blocks sout of them and the rest ran in twos except one squaddie that came with another group that left for the parking lot to the right of the libary and Sky-Ranger went airborne only to be pounded by 2 more blaster bombs which took out both engines and half the hull leaving the troops no way out.
"Oh man,look what we got ourselves into now"said Dan "Awwww don't be a big baby Dan,we'll end up kicking those dumbasses""actually Tom they're smarter""Shutup."as Dan and Tom hid inside the bathroom of the gas station Tom decided if he had to go pee this might be his last chance", psssss.."What the HELL do you think you're doing??? Tom??""taking a piss this maybe my last time"Tom gave Dan the biggest evilest grin he could do.Suddenlly both they're headsets began to buzz,"hello?...am I coming in?....." "yup" said Tom "Good Listen up,Tom and Dan I want you guys to lure the aliens near the gas pumps from there Larson will shoot the pumps and blow up em up or least as much of them as we can got it?" "WHAT?@?! you want us to risk our lives to lure what 50 aliens into a GAS station so you can blow them up and probabally us too?!?!?" "yup, of course we'll try to give you time to run" "yeah "try" being a keyword" "shutup Tom and do it" "ok",tom grabbed Dan and told him the plan and ran out the bathroom to find 2 mutons feasting on earthlly goodies,Tom and Dan pulled thier guns up and started shooting the mutons got one good look before being wasted by gunfire,candy started flying out of the mutons' mouths and finally then blood,Tom walked up to one and kicked it around hmmmmmm..he was eating a Snickers good taste"Tom smirked at his joke Dan stared at him shaking his head.
Dan took a sneak peek at the battle and say the aliens heading for the libary where Captain and Larson were hiding and the men at the parking lot gradually moving abackwards over powered by enemy gunfire and the wounds caused by plasma that ate through the armor,Dan rushing as fast as he could before his squadmates were killed started yelling and jumping at the mutons which did nothing so Tom came and pushed him away with a rifle in the right and 2 packs of beer,"how can you think of drinking at this time?"
"I'm not gonna drink I'm making them drink"Dan starred at Tom with a confused faced "pschyo"mutterd Dan,Tom threw the beer packs above the mutons and fired rapidally at the packs making them explode causing the mutons to stop and turn around and start firing at Tom and Dan leaving the wounded troops an escape to the libary where Larson helped them in.Tom what in heaven's Earth are you thinking of doing!??!?! "you know how mutons can withstand explosions?" "yeah so?" "just watch and get behind the building"
Captain Gerold saw his chance he fired at the gas pump it blew up and since of the alchohol they started on fire and killed all of them."YOU'RE A GENIUS TOM!!!! OH MY GOD" "Yep,yep,yep,yep"Tom just layed there and started smiling to himself, but his moment of peace was interupted by the Captain,"Well Tom that was a smooth move with the alchohol first I thought you went crazy,but i was wrong good job.." "You weren't the only one that thought I was crazy"then Tom started elbowing Dan in the gut "Whoa,there big guy" "Well we kept 75% of the team alive too bad for that squaddie he died fighting,we should round up the bodies and give them proper burial"said Tom over the com unit."But Captain one tiny question" "Shoot Tom" "Well.....How Are"WE"getting home?" "Ya know Tom I was asking myself the same question........"
