How it started

*BOOOOM*

Sophia awoke from her slumber startled, as she heard the deafening sound of gunshots and explosions.

Sophia's beaded, narrow eyes took a while to adjust to the sudden unnatural light from the opening in the ceiling, when she noticed, she was still inside the oxygen chamber. The cords attached to her body gave of a faint blue hue that connected to the chamber to allow oxygen to be put directly into her bloodstream.

'It should have healed by now' Sophia thought to herself as her callused hands traced the long and rigid scar that went against her unblemished,firm skin. she rapidly started to pull the cords out that began to shoot out bubbles of air into the water.

"More enemy soldiers approaching from the north and south flanks." A voice screamed through the intercom

"Reinforcements...there shortly.....

to the landing spot till...past the blockade..."

The door to the healing bay flew open as 12 soldiers outfitted in a sleek, full-body, skin-tight, armour . The body armour accentuated their heavily trained, fit figures that radiated power despite the fact that they were an all-female special squad. The T-97s left little the imagination as it made thier bodies look fuller.

Sophia started to tear up as she went through thousands of emotions with relief, self-loathing and anger being the strongest. She felt angry for almost letting her squad die. She felt relief to see that everyone is still alive and she loathed the fact that she is an incaple captain. While she was going through her life choices. One figure stepped forward disabling their combat helmets to reveal an expressionless beauty.

The impassive beauty walked up to the oxygen chamber keeping eye contact with the figure. she held Sophia in the same regards as her own parents, and so did everyone else on the specialist team FOX. She pressed the the massive red button that caused the oxygen chamber to slowly open with its doors sliding upards. Massive amouts of yellow fluids came out of the chamber as a foot touched to solid floor of the medical bay.

Sophia never thought that she would ever be happy to feel the coldness of the med bay cluster around her shapely body. It felt good to still be breathing

*BOOOOOOOM*

"The base is being over run, all units fall back to sector eight for a last stand against the republicans. Sector 1 to Sector 6 will commence the self-destruction, we absolutely cannot let them get their hands on the EAGLE. *Sigh* If you cannot make it within 30 minutes to the bunkers then your sacrifce will be noted and your families will be taken care of." resounded a voice through the intercom that spread throughout the base.

Sophia's eyes widened when she realised that she and her team were in sector 4 and could make it if they left right now and got in the FOX spqceship

As if they read her mind. The members of FOX ran out of the med bay to prep the spaceship they arrived in leaving Sophia and the impassive beauty.

"Krista, what happened while i was in a coma" the impassive beauty who we now know as krista who lost her impassive exression and went into a full blown rant capable of rendering one deaf. "howcouldyoujusthurtyourselflikethatdoyouknowhowworriedeveryonewasanddidyoustoptothinkabouttherepurcussionsofyouractionswouldhaveonthemoralofthetroopsthatwerethereatthefrontlinesneverdosomethinklikethateveragainbecauseitleftmealmostheartbrokenthatiwouldloseanothersistertothosemonstersandyouwo-" Krista was interupted by Sophia who activated the body armour left by abigail. "we have 28 minutes left to get to Sector 8 or we will die. We can talk in the spaceship but right now, i want everyone in on board the ship."

Sophia led Krista out of the med bay into a empty hall way. As they walked Sophia took inventory of her equipment 'thank god i still have my custom crafted imperial blasters or i would raise hell in a republican military base, just to vent my anger'. They walked into a massive hanger that was connected to the medical facility, that allowed the injured to be brought in more efficiently.

"Ellen and Ellie, i want you two to pilot the FOX. Abigail, Diana and celine I want you on the guns system, shoot down any republican ship that gets too close. We dont have enough time to enter a dogfight. Ella, Divya and Ambar man the drone system, take the drones from the other ships inside the hanger. Jasmine, Krista, Violet and Ophelia i want you to get into fighter jets and take out anu stragglers. Ladies, i think its time we remind the those ass-hats why we are called the Devilish Devourers. we leave in ETA 2 minutes. MOUNT UP." Ordered Sophia, who went into serious mode

A collective "yes captain" was shouted through the Hanger as the member of FOX. split to do their specific roles. Sophia walked onto the special class aircraft built to withstand the onslaught of a dreadnaught fleet, to infiltrate into the deepest of enemy territory and the firepower that goes head to head with executor battleships. the shadow pains from withstanding a photonic laser cannon brought up horrible flashbacks of her past, that she would rather it stayed at the back of her head

"Captain, the FOX is ready to take of. All teams have completed the required task and are at a battle ready status, awaiting further instructions." interupted Ellen from her navigation desk in the cockpit.

absentmindedly, Sophia had walked to the command centre without realising. she sat down in the captain seat and said through the com "initiate procedure 2-5-G-6-S-J-4-A, Be careful fighter jet team. Ellen, Ellie take us into the air. set cource for sector 8."

Spaceship FOX slowly started to ascend before shooting out of the hanger into a scene out of an apocalyptic, end of the world movie. Choas. Absolute choas. explosions were being set of left and right like confetti from the civillian sectors. the fumes from the explosions blanketted the skies make visiblity a struggle especially from the grounds. Laser cannons were being shot down from orbit making the soldiers on the grounds survivability less than 12%.

"Ellen switch to the optical infared and mark our people in the air, i want to know who we shoot at."ordered Sophia from the captain seat "On it" responded Ellen with who was bouncing in her seat with excitement

"Ellie activate the ships shields and mark the pubs and send the data to Jasmine, Krista, Violet and Ophelia fighter jets." commanded Sophia as she observed Ellie she had the same infectious excitement Ellen had. "gotcha cap'n,"replied Ellen

"Ella i want your drones raising hell for the invadors and clear the air space while your at it."Instructed Sophia "And don't go over the top like you Ell triplets seem to always do somehow."

Seeing hundreds of drones detach itself from the side of FOX made Sophia glad that Ella was being cooperative. "Divya and Ambar, i want your drones at protecting the ship and intercepting an missiles that will come our way, I plan on making it to Sector 8 in one peice. hopefully you do to Ambar"

Sophia's attempt to lighten the mood worked as giggles made its way through the com." Captain, it was a one-time thing and it wasn't my fault they weren't being cooperative so i just took measures into my own hands" rebuttled Ambar in an attempt to defend herself "Yada yada yada, its all excuses. You blew a military base in the protected sector by being trigger happy in a reactor room"

countered Divya. Soon the giggles changed to laughs as the whole team listened to the back and forth arguement between Ambar and Divya revealing secrets everyone already knew in attempts to get the other side tio back down.

The happy atmosphere was interupted as alarms went off signaling missiles are incoming. "Okay joke time over, i want everyone serious as we are seriously outnumbered. i want to make it back in time to see prince alexander welcome me back with open arms and maybe something more" joked Sophia. Catcalls and laughter followed as it is a tradition for team FOX to joke about before an a mission.
