Outside the base sat a wide variety of vehicles from small A.M.Z's:mobile assault bikes, to the dangerous Ravens:giant nano tanks.Each vehicle was done with fine craftsmanship.Commander Basco and Izen were noticeable in the front windows of the base.Izen's back was towards the windows.Basco reached for the gun that was slung on his shoulder and cradled it in his arms.
"Good luck to us all."
Izen watched Basco leave and followed a soldier pushing a cart down the hallway.Hanger B reeked of burning metal.The soldier pushing the cart walked off into a crowd of soldiers, leaving Izen to look around.The hanger consisted of several soldiers of various ranks and branches.The mechs stood equally apart from each other, aligned in the center of the hanger.Izen walked off down a small path between the mechs.The ground shook and debris fell from the ceiling,landing clumped on the ground.A loud whistling sound echoed through the base,so loud that it caused Izen's ears to bleed.As quick as it happened,Izen was just as quick to placing his hands on his ears and doubling over onto his knees.Smoke and fire filled the room blurring everyone's vision.Izen fell to the floor losing blood.The whistle faded out and the sound of crackling fire was all that was left.Soldiers picked themselves up off the ground and quickly scrambled into their mechs.Izen shook his head and quickly ran to his mech.The mech was made up of the brightest blues.It was model arctic-five-seventy-six.The mech responded by touch and opened up.Izen climbed the mech and sat inside it,watching the hatch close in front of him.A red blinking light appeared on the mech screen.Commander Basco beeped in.
"Izen, can you hear me?"
"Yes,loud and clear."
"Good,it looks like your Intel was right.Well at least part of it though."
"What are you talking about?Which part was right?"
"The attack was right but it wasn't anything that was on this planet."
"Are you positive?Alien seems kind of unbelievable, wouldn't you think?"
