chapter 41

As soon as the Urano air carriers appeared about the enemy city, they were immediately fired upon. There was many land based cannons on the ground throughout the entire city. The air carrier that carried the boys was blown up, which killed all that were still left inside. Many of the boy's fellow soldiers were killed by the many cannon blasts.

Kill Joy and the Boy were knocked miles off their destined landing point. The young warriors

were thrown like a kite in a tornado.

They finally managed to land somewhat safely, but only suffered some minor bruises.

The boys both groaned out in pain, as they recovered from their fall.

Kill joy spoke,"That was a heck of a fall."

The boy spoke while trying to stretch his muscles loose,"We got to figure where we are, since my sensors are still rattled. How are yours?"

Joy looked at his sensors on his right arm, but could get it to work.

The medic spoke,"My sensors are messed up as well."

The boy spoke,"Well, is that not dandy? We have got to help conqueror this city!"

Out of nowhere, a laser fired at the duo as they tried to run for cover.

The boys knew that they were in some sort of residential area, as they had to find some sort of cover. The warriors were having a hard time of since the sniper was not making it a very easy task. The boys were just barely dodging the shots by mere inches.

The boy and Kill Joy knew that they had to succeed in their mission or die trying. The secret Urano military spared no one that failed in their mission. General Hagotti was more forgiving than most of the base's generals, since he allowed room for trial and error. But the Ibor faction would not give any quarter to the teenagers. The pair knew that they had to play on their individual strengths and hope that the sum was greater than the total of it's parts. They were praying in the back of their minds that God would intervene in the battle. They were praying without ceasing, but still focused on the task at hand.

The pair knew that they must be in some sort of Ibor residential area. Except for the snipers, Kill joy and the boy could not detect any others through their heat detection sensors. The boy knew that there was more than one sniper but he could not ascertain how many there really was. The enemy was

constantly on the move between rounds of shooting. Whomever was firing at the boys had very good legs that left the pair frustrated. The boy knew that the snipers were gathering on the flat roofed homes that he knew to be true.

The boy ran towards the nearest sniper but got shot in his left bicep for his trouble. Yet, he did not relent in his pursuit of the enemy. The young warrior shoots the fleeing sniper in the head, causing the foe's head to burst into an explosion of gore. The beheaded enemy falls to the rooftop with a loud thud.

The Ibor snipers were angered at the loss of their comrade and charged the hero while firing their guns repeatably. The boy used his saber to block the blasts from the guns. Hagotti trained the boy to have superhuman reaction time. All the special solders of Hagotti had ether reached the limit of

human ability or had surpassed their limits.

The boy sliced the first foe in a vertical slash that cut the man into two even parts that fell apart from each other.

Another warrior shot at the boy from behind but got decapitated for his trouble.

A solder had managed to slip behind the boy without him knowing but Kill Joy shot the foe in back of his head.

The boy looked behind and saw that his comrade had saved him. He did not have the time to

show his gratitude since he instantly threw some energy charged knives into the chest of another

warrior.

The knives exploded the opposition into pieces.

Kill Joy shot three more solders, while the boy finishes off the rest of enemy unit.

The boy was glad that he had helped beat the Ibor military unit, he did not feel right. He did not know to what was the source of the potential danger but he knew that he had to move quickly.

The boy yells,"Kill Joy, be careful! Something is coming our way quick!"

"Boom!" was emitted as the building that the boy was just had been blown into smithereens.

The two teens were shocked, when he saw the source of the explosion.

It was a Ibor tank!

The men had trained against ground attack against tanks but this was the real deal this time. The pair could not respawn if they messed it up, so they had to win. The enemy would not taken by surprise but they had to know that they were coming. As soon as they had got over the city the Ibor forces attacked mercilessly. This was the enemy's turf, which caused the defending forces to have the home field advantage. Both warriors knew that they could not get sloppy during this battle or they will be died, especially with an enemy tank around them.

The pair were running around for safety like mice being chased by a cat. The boys had still managed to keep their cool while dodging energy blasts from the tank's huge gun barrel.

Kill Joy demands,"My friend, what are we going to do to survive?"

The boy laughs out loud which surprised the doctor.

The boy shouted,"We are going to win this battle and destroy the tank!"

Kill Joy liked the answer and responded,"What is the plan?"

The young officer spoke,"I do not know that yet but He does!"

The medic spoke,"Always by the seat of your pants!"

The boy laughed again.

The Ibor tank had a huge laser cannon that fired laser blasts that could easily destroyed an entire

building down to simple rumble. Two more large Uzis were on each side of cannon barrel that would

kill any enemy troops that the cannon barrel failed to destroy. All of the guns were aimed by gunners safely sitting inside the tank that used heat sensing. The detectors were projected on a large screens like a video camera was set in place.

The boys were running while trying to discover some weakness in the tank.

The boy was trying to figure out the delay between cannon blasts.
