Chapter 7​


Location: Command Building
Date: T'Ghaphorp 4, 55660 08:00 (January 2, 1942)

Ytterking was very pleased. Consturction of Sol III Se U'u (Earth Base One) was going very well. Two hangers were up full of aircraft, as was the defence perimiter and the command building.

After eating breakfast and going over reports, he decided to go visit the puny humans. They were being treated good, especaily by Centarian standards.

Ytterking was almost there when the alarm sounded. The intercom announced American airplanes were approaching fast. Ytterking quickly stepped into a near by lift to go the the command room.

Arriving, subordianted immedatly began spewing reports.

Radar Operator: Sir! Four fighters approaching from the East.

Ytterking: Set rockets to automatic. Lets see how this new permiter is doing.

Weapons Officer: AA missles on auto. Time till fighters are in range: 30 seconds.

* a long 30 seconds pass *

Weapons Officer: Missles away, missles are tracking.

Ytterking: How many were fired.

Weapons Officer: Eight sir, two for each. Time till impact 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4,3, 2, 1, 0... DIRECT HIT! TARGET DESTROYED!

Ytterking: Excellent! We can all sleep soundly tonight knowing our superior equipment will keep us safe from those pesky bugs of a creature. Everyone carry on.

Ytterking left to go see the humans, but glanceing at his watch, noticed it was time to oversee the sub pen construction...

Sorry, don't get to see the poor little humans this update :rolleyes:

Am'Uhur stares through his binocluars towards the islands of 'Hawaii.' He sighs, "What a waste of Military, attacking little islands that will give us little gain in our war here. What is Ytterking thinking." He hears his aide gasp behind him, "Yes i questioned his thinking," he returns to viewing the islands. He spots people moving about, "Are they dancing?" He shouts down into the control room, "Helm! Ahead full, i want to see what they have in the Harbor. Make sure you stay out of view range." He looks towards the islands without the binoculars and can see nothing, not even a speck of land.
After studying the harbor, Am'Uhur goes beneath deck, "Helm, set depth 50 meters."
He retire to his quarters, he then proceeds to pull up a map of the Major Ocean, or 'Pacific Ocean.' He tries to figure out what the heck Ytterking is thinking by attacking here instead of the desert terrain. "Eh, its not my fault when this invasion takes longer than expected." He looks up when his door buzzes, "Enter," he commands.
Suddenly To'kle jumps on him and attacks, yelling in furry. Am'Uhur is knocked out of his chair to the ground, To'kle begins throwing punches, Am'Uhur is forced to protect himself. Using his left arm, he grabs his knife out of his sleeve and stabs To'kle in the back. To'kle howls in pain, sailors come rushing into the room. The pull To'kle off Am'Uhur and take him to the medical bay.
Am'Uhur aide comes into the room grinning, "Im going to have to report you."

Chapter 8​


Location: Centarian Pub
Date: T'Ghaphorp 7, 55660 17:00 (January 5, 1942)

D'Ldr was sitting in the recently constructed pub, healing from the fight with his new pet, Higgs. He glanced over and saw the thing tied to the poll so he wouldn't run away. Just then he saw Private Ort come in.

Ort: Man, they actualy let you keep it! Thats awsome man!

D'Ldr: Yeah, I'm surprised myself, I'll probably get rid of it when our next mission comes around. I have to always keep an eye on it, it realy wants to escape.

Ort: Does it know any tricks!?! I wanna play fetch with it.

D'Ldr: No, and do you realize it understands us? I do not want anyone messing with my new pet, remeber what happened to the last one we caught and I let you guys play with.

*Intercom*: Would all specal ops please report to the command center immediatly, you have a new mission.

Ort: Man, I'm still tiered from the invasion!

D'Ldr: Yeah, your not wounded so consider yourself lucky. Lets go, I have to call security to escort my pet to the prison block.

As they walk away, Higgs has a look in his eye that suggests he has a plan. Unfortunatly, the poor security guard had no idea what was to come.
---------------
Sorry for the wait. What do you think of it guys?

UPDATE

Higgs watches as the two creatures leave and he is walked down a hall towards the prison cells. He looks around, and when the guard is opening his cell door, Higgs wraps his hancuffs around the things neck. It thrashes around and draws its gun, Higgs bites the creature in the neck, and draws blood. The alien drops it gun and grabs at its neck, Higgs uses his boot to push the creatures stomach up against the wall. He can hear a sick gurgle, and the alien goes limp. Higgs grabs the key from his body and removes the shackles, he grabs the guards gun, and the drags the body into the cell. "Ill kill that bastard who put this leash on me."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am'Uhr looks out of his cell at the guard who is watching the prisoners. The guard looks away, stands up and walks down the hall to watch the other prisoners. "Damn it To'kle, why did you have to be so stupid." Some of the other prisoners look at him when he says that, then go back to what they were doing. Am'Uhr thinks to himself, im glad i killed him, i dont have to listen to his stupidity anymore. It will make this punishment worth it. He walks up to his cell door and looks out, he whispers to himself, "Shit, I wonder if this is going to get Ytterking involved." He sit on his cot, and then hears the security door open.

Silly aliens. Don't they know that the boundless ingenuity and the universal desire for freedom of humans will always win out in the end?

Chapter 8​


The Centarian Spec Ops team walked into the command center, Ytterking has a mission for them.

Ytterking: As you know, we don't want all the wolrd to know about us. We have a plan to make the Jappaneese think they are still fighting Americans. You will make a raid on their home islands and paint a giant US flag on a building, then leave. It won't be that dangerous as they won't be execting it, and you will infil via sub. Any Questions?

Team: No sir!

Ytterking: Dissmissed!

The team leaves to prepare for the mission.

Dan Colb is walking down the beutiful Hawaiian beach. He smiles at the pretty girls as he walks by them, some smiling back, some completely ignoring him. He walks down to the sea and sits in the sand, as he looks out to sea he can see something floating in the water about twenty feet out. He swims out and grabs it, he realizes its a map, not a silk map either, so its in rough shape. "Stupid Amerikans, why dont they do things right." He opens the map very carefully without ripping it, and he can see that it is not in English. In fact it doesn't look like anything he has ever seen before. It shows a map of the Pacfic isles, as well as fleet locations(or so it appears). "Hmmm, must be Japanese. Strange they would put their fleet locations here." Some symbols catch his eye at Midway, "they must be planning an attack. Id better take this." He pockets it and walks back into the city.
He can see off-duty American sailors walking around the town. Colb returns to his hotel and takes off his sandals. He then walks over to his trunk and opens it. Inside is the Enigma, he sends a transmission to his relay point in San Fransico, it follows, 'Japanese planning attack at Midway.' He also gives the fleet posistions, and has it forwarded to Germany.

Chapter 9​


D'Ldr's team was travling in hovercraft disguized as Jappannese transports towards Tokyo Bay. Two other teams were with them on this one. Suddenly, the two other teams broke off and headed back.

D'Ldr: Where do they think they're going!

Radio Operator: They have orders to head for the 1st sub fleet and pick up prisoners.

D'Ldr: We have an important mission, and 2/3 of our forces break off and head to some subs just to pick up some prisoners?!?

Radio Operator: Well sir, orders are orders, most forces are busy building our new base. I'm sure command knows what they are doing anyway.

D'Ldr: Well, it won't make this any easier. How long till we get there?

Driver: We should be in sight any time now.

Ort: So, what building are we going to hit sir?

D'Ldr: Well, it would be nice to get the palace, but we will have to take waht we can get.

Ort: If we are suppost to be Americans, why are we driving Jappannese ships?

D'Ldr: Its easier to sneak by that way. Now were almost there and I'd like some silence so yall eb quite.

Driver: Land ho!

Ort: You spoke to soon sir.

D'Ldr: Can it private! Now everbody listen up, heres the plan...
---------------
Cliffhanger! Next update will be where the other teams went to.
