Dak and his squad moved north slowly, not detecting any forces in the forest.  They reached a clearing in the north and saw a small patrol.  It was comprised of four men and a light reconaissance vehicle.  Three of the men were sitting around while a fourth was working on the engine.  Dak turned to his men and made several hand signals before most of them scattered into the forest around the patrol.  About a minute later, the entire enemy patrol was dead instantly.  Their bodies were buried in the forest and the vehicle was hidden under branches and foliage.  The squad them regrouped and moved north more.

[OOC: I thought I was going to Olkai?]

[OOC: At least radio me to establish a rendezvous point.]

"Roger that! And it's General!"

Bringing the column to a halt, Delran examines a map. It will take him two days to get there with his vehicles. Judging by the speed on foot of the dragons they would be there in 3-4 days.

"Men we move towards the West Gate of Olkai! There we will wait for Major Reynolds. Move out!"

Switching the radio on he called for Reynolds:

"Reynolds, this is General Dark. We will be there in two days. Find some vehicles to get there the same time as we will. Out!"

[[Septim said he would be gone for 5 days]]

Dak and his squad continued north, not finding any resistance.  They then came upon a cluster of buildings in the middle of the forest.  There were several Iellusian patrols moving around the forest in camoflague, but were no match for the Dragon's skill.  Dak has his squad spread out in groups of two in order to eliminate each patrol.  He and three men then moved towards the cluster of buildings.  He then gave a signal that each of his men recieved.  Within a few seconds, all of the Iellusian patrols in the forest were dead.  Then all of the Dragons moved in on the buildings and eliminated everyone they found that did not seem important.  They found a small communications array for contacting their headquarters and hacked into the system.  Dak then setup a relay to the Keraitian HQ.  He typed a secure message to HQ letting him know what he did.
"Hacked into Iellusian communication channels.  We will now secretly recieve communications and tactical information on troop movements in the area.  Will hold in this general area until further orders are given.  Following radio silence as usual."

The bodies of all of the dead Iellusians were checked for anything important or of higher technology than their own.  Everything was confiscated and the bodies were hidden in the forest.  The outpost looked like it had been completely abandoned.  Dak and his group setup a watch of the outpost until further orders were given, keeping an invisible perimeter around it.

[[OOC: That is the plan...It also lets me work on some other things]]

[[OOC: Charley said he's out, so I'll kill him and a small part of his squad off in an ambush when I get the time, this will continue on Wednesday.]]

[[OOC: If you'd like...]]

[[OOC: Which of the Red Dragons survived...I know Phil did...]]

Radioman Ulrich Geran was at his station when he recieved a transmission.
"This is Sergeant Bryan Jackson!" said a rough voice, "Major Perkins's dead, they're all dead. Only three of us alive, just me, Ian and Mark...we need evac."
"I'm here, Jackson, I need to call the Chairman. Where is the High General?"
"Call the Chairman," said Jackson.
Geran called the Chairman, and he was in the room five minutes later.
"This is Chairman Septim, what's your status?" asked Septim.
"Sir, High General Dark went towards the capital, the Black Dragons are heading South, we were heading North when we were ambushed by Iellusian forces...we need evac!" said Jackson.
"We have only a few prototype aircrafts...the landing crafts are your only hope," said Septim.
"Bu-" started Jackson.
"Sergeant, I have no other options. Who else is left?" asked Septim.
"Just me, Corporal Ian Trall, and my brother, Corporal Mark Jackson," said Jackson.
"Alright, good luck," said Septim.
"Yessir," said Jackson.

Major Reynolds found a Iellusian transport a few miles away and sighed. The vehicles were loud and gave away his position, which could mean death if a large group of hostile forces were nearby. But, his Commanding Officer wanted him to reach the city in two days, and he must obey his commander, even if it would mean death. Reynolds got into the transport, but decided to have two men scout ahead for hostiles before they would move on to the next area...

Cole's father was sitting in his new home, he had just arrived from Herval, and Septim had even given him the use of a soldier as a bodyguard. He had never been treated this way, but he felt that his life would finally be better. Suddenly, in his stomach, he felt as if a worm was crawling around, then, he felt the same up his windpipe. He looked in horror as the snakes crawled from his mouth. Private Johnny Perkins, a cousin to the famous Dak Perkins, drew his KS-9 pistol and shot three time*beep*ting all three snakes. Little did Johnny Perkins know, he had just saved thousands of lives by denying the parasite a place to grow, he had just saved his nation.
"W-what the hell were those?" asked Cole's father.
"I have no idea, sir, but we'd better get you to the infirmary for a scan," said Private Perkins.

After a couple of days, Cole finally arrives at Fort Ollus to begin his training as a Dragon.  When the truck stopped, Cole jumped off and landed in a pile of twigs.  He turned around and surveyed the Fort.  It looked worn, but very well protected.  He walked towards the Fort, wondering how his life would change.

A man in strong black armour walked up to Cole.  His uniform had the symbol of the Dragons in gold, and his face looked happy and trusting.  Cole, hoping to make a good first impression, saluted the man.  The man saluted in turn, and began to speak.

"You the new recruit, eh?" Adam said.  "Well, I'll tell you what, you've gonna have a lot of work to do."

"Yes, but I also bring news too," Cole replied.  "Your father has returned from some mission he was on."

"Wait, Howard is back?" Adam smiled and then replied, "Your training will start tommorow.   Excuse me, I need to leave for the moment."

He's gonna contact his dad. Cole smiled, knowing what it feels like to see your father after a long time.  It's happened too many times to Cole.  The captain turned to a Golden Dragon member, asking him where the dormitories are.

"You the new recruit?" the member said.  "The dormitories are in the basement, I think the empty room number is 8."

Cole walked to the stairway room and walked down to the basement, and started down the hallways, passing by the room numbers until he reached Dormitory 8.  He opened the door dropped his bag somewhere in the corner.

"Finally, a bed," Cole muttered, and fell asleep.

***

People crawled the streets, moaning in pain.  Worms crawled out of the eyes, ears, and mouths of the drones.  Visions of pain and splurting crawled through Cole's mind.  Gunshots were fired, and a dark man approached Cole, a corpse pointing a gun at Cole.

***

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Cole jumped out of his bed, sweat running down his body.  Shaken from  the dream, he pulled his hair out of his face, and turned around to the ringing phone.  Slowly, he approached the phone and answered.

"H-hello?" Cole said.
"This is Johnny Perkins, a bodyguard assigned to your father," the called said.
"What happened?" Cole said, frightened.
"Earlier today, strange creatures poured out of your father's mouth, which I immediantly shot to death.  We've taken him to the hospital to have him looked at.  Just wishing to keep you up to date."

Cole put the phone down and fell on the bed, his dream scaring the life out of him.  He couldn't sleep anymore, and went to the small refridgerator in his dorm, pulling out a cold bottle of water.  He drank the whole bottle of water in one gulp and then sat on his bed for the night...

Delran arrived near Olkai. He kept his distance outside their visual range so that he could not be detected and deployed sentries. He was near the West Gate of Olkai. There he waited for Reynolds.

"That is sad! Perkins was a good officer, and from what I understand from Septim, the best in his area. Does he had any relatives alive? He died under my command and I must send them a letter to express my regrets."

After saying these words, Delran lowered his eyes for a few seconds,, remembering Major Dak Perkins.

"And now to our mission!" said Delran lifting his eyes. "You there!" he pointed towards the prisoner. "Come forward and speak."

"I am High General Delran Dark. Tell me about your country after the Keraitian Occupation and the Iellusian nuke attack. Also I want to know your status regarding the Iellusian Empire."

"Our technology was years ahead of you. We developed the nuclear bomb and also created devices to counteract them. In our major cities and important bases we have built shelters and inside they had Crynogenic Hibernation Chamber. They kept us in a sleep state for 100 years. About the alliance, I will have to report to the Chairman first."

Delran turned to Reynolds.

"Come with me. You men take care of him. Thank you for the information, but I am taking every measures for the safety of my men. For what I know, you may be an Iellusian spy. I we will have proof of your identity and will confirm your sayings, you will be free."

Delran steeped a few meters away from the others so that he may talk to Reynolds alone.

"Major, I want you to tell me how your journey was and after that send a message back to New Kerait City and inform the Chairman about everything."

"Hmmm, an alliance.... When I last searched, about 100 years ago...... we took over them. Why should we make an alliance with them? Although I see the necessity of this alliance, they should come with us without an alliance. They owe their allegiance to Kerait... I will contact the Chairman for this, but first I want your opinion on this."

[OOC: Bad internet connection, that is why you see double posting. Septim, what the hell is CL?]

"Very well then. Let's get back."

Delran and Reynolds returned to the others.

"We will enter the city. Ulic, you will be in the first vehicle. Men guard him well! Also, put our colors on the vehicles! Let them know who is arriving! Move out!"

Watches as his men get into the vehicles and gets into one before Reynolds gestured him. He always hated to gesture orders unless he was on a covert mission. The drivers started the engines and the column moved towards the West Gate, entering their visual range.

"I am! And who might you be to step in my way?"

"No threats are necessary! I will tell you who I am without them. I am High General Delran Dark of the Kerait Military. My purpose is to bring ruin to the Iellusian Empire! Anything else you wish to know?"

"Well, we also bought here one of your men, Ulic Olkun-vai! As for the envoy, you will let us all pass and I will give you my word that we will cause you no trouble!"

"You say you didn't heard my name in your entire life? What has become of this world? I give you the word of a high ranking officer! Ain't that enough? You can send as many guards you like with us."
