Operation go

Gara had taken on the form of an engineer that would be replaced and was busy studying basic work place rules.

Arc felt left out of the whole experience went to join the distraction party in an attempt to do more only to run into Lisa who was hanging out by the gathering forces "You aren't planning on going are you Lisa?" Arc questioned due to her lack of useful power or combat skills.

She looked up at him with surprise "Thanks for worrying about me Arc and no I would just be a burden, I don't even know how to fire a gun properly and would just waste bullets." She explained "I just came here to wish Darick off and good luck" she told Arc before quickly walking off.

Arc then met up with Dusty to share some espresso which they were both extremely addicted to. Dusty couldn't help but complement Arc's brewing skills going so far as to have him get his own thermos for the mission.

Once the mission team assembled totalling in around one hundred people including Tral's extraction team they all jumped into the armored carrier truck before heading off to divide and conquor.

"Are we ready to give the military hell?" rallied Mr.Inherst to the immediat response of "sir yes sir!" from the troops

"Are we going to crush their priest factory and kill those breeding bastards?".

The rebels stomped their feet "HELL YEAH! DOWN WITH THE CHURCH!"

With moral up Mr.Inherst sits down to meditate in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Arc turns to Darick "lucky you, getting a pre battle kiss from your fair lady. If only I could be so lucky" while nudging him with his elbow. "I don't know what you are talking about Arc. I said goodbye to Lisa last night and left before she woke up.. though you could call what happened last night, a 'good night kiss.. " Darick said with a big grin.

"It's ok Arc, even if you don't have a girlfriend I know you'll do great helping out with your awesome technological manipulation. If it helps you can go with the blessings of a friend instead" Gara said trying to console him then gave Arc a hug followed by a kiss on the cheek that caused his face to go beat red.

Darick seeing this started getting all excited like something was going to happen, looking over at Tral who was passed out.

"you are so0Oo lucky Arc" Darick laughed while shaking the still stunned Arc who seemed to be lost in his own world.

The resistance forces stationed themselves just outside of the military town of Gretan. Tral quickly made a fortified steel base covered in artillery, cannons, machine guns as well as an escape hatch loaded with dirt bikes before going on to place mines around the perimeter.

Meanwhile Gara drove off in a military jeep ready to sneak into the birthing facility.

"you're going to be alright with the resistance" Darick said putting his hand on Arcs shoulder.

"No problem Darick, I'll find a way to be useful just wait till they see me operate these machines." Arc boastfully reassured his friend who replied "If anything happens get to the meeting place after or at worst case go to that truck stop café we saw outside Bristle. You won't be able to remember your first and last kiss from Gara if you're dead" Darick joked just as Tral was making his way back to them casually placing mines as he went.

"What's up guys?" Tral asked as he came near while Arc acted nervously "nothing, just wishing you luck and see you on the other side." Arc said before turning around and running to the fort.

Tral watched him leave "That's so strange.. I have the weirdest feeling that I should punch him but I don't know why."

"You know Tral, you can be really scary sometimes" Darick stated calmly making Tral laugh "Let's hope today is one of those days cause I have a feeling it will get a lot worse before it gets better."

"Then it is a good thing your power is creation and not sensing the future" Darick said hopefully.

Dusty runs over to them with a steaming thermos "Oy ya ready to take off? lf ya gunna be a talkn a day cause I gotz ta put on a pot of coffee if we be taken an age"

Tral whipped out his hand extravagantly creating a sleek quinn jet (also known to people on your planet as the avengers plane). "Ready when you are, though you shouldn't be the one to talk about over talking Dusty."

Dusty smiled to raise his drink to that before he entered the jet turning it invisible "well come on then, the sooner we get there, the sooner ya sister will get back n we can have drinks"

"He actually has a point here buddy" Darick shrugged at Tral before walking into the Quinn jet.

Within five minutes the three of them were a hundred feet in the air circling the town of Gretan. "ok boys" Tral yelled "The plane is set to hit the military bunker and since we need to be stealthy and can't make too much noise, there are no jetpacks only a long free fall followed by a short parachute ride. Dusty is the man here so we need to get close enough to him during the decent or his invisibility won't reach us and we will be announcing our arrival to all that look up."

Dusty laughs "I love ya guyz, ain't nobody else be complaining about not havn jetpacks.. ya know ya can give me a jetpack anytime. I won't even use it now I promise ya know."

Tral and Darick look at Dusty with a smile as Tral says "Dusty you are definitely getting a jetpack when we get back.. in fact jetpacks for all and you're getting a way better ride."

"Hey there now, hold your horses. Betsy is a mighty fine all terrain vehicle. Sure she could always use some work and a new wagon to hitch to but golly gee is she a fine machine who has got me out of a lot of trouble."

"Ok Dusty, I got this. What if I get you the parts to make Betsy fly and hitch on a massive support trailer for her to feel pretty." Tral expressed with a hand on Dusty's shoulder.

"well I'll be damned but I'd have ta at least give you a ride ta hell and back anytime, just gotta make sure we make it back each time n I'll be good to go again." Exclaimed Dusty before jumping out the back of the plain.

"shit did he just jump" Darick yelled before jumping as well.

"seriously. Fine, I'll just set the plane to swan dive for a bit to catch up before jumping but first a beer for the road" proclaimed Tral with a fresh crisp beer in hand than chugged back before jumping.

As the plane flew into the military base on the side of town Tral burped "yhea that's the first distraction and signal to start."

"Ya know we waz both at the same meetin right? N nobody talked bout this part of the plan" Dusty questioned showing doubt.

"well it stands to reason that it is my plan and I simply didn't tell the whole plan at the meeting.. or would it feel better if I told you I wanted time to drink and having a one beer buzz is my optimal battle condition but you just jumped before sooooo plans change making the explosive plane signal happen sooner." Tral explained while random objects appeared in areas around them.

"Tral.. what are you making?" Darick asked nervously

"Oh you mean the time bombs that should survive impact.. we'll be a long way away after we sail on these parachutes " Tral said casually "just ignore them.. it's all part of the plan"

everyone releases their paparachutes with everyone invisible to prevent being discovered even though their arrival will be felt across Gretan as explosion after explosion ripped through town.

As they approached the ground slowly they could see the facility on high alert with soldiers running every where.

"The explosions should continue for an hour which should be long enough to finish this. We will strike hard and fast." Tral commanded

"what did I sign me self up for here" exclaimed Dusty as the touched down on the west side of the roof.

"just keep us invisible and we kill all soldiers we come across" Tral ordered " I'm not going to lie. This is going to be a shit storm.. There is at least triple the guards the reports said and to top that off the town was evacuating before the explosions started which means.."

"They knew we were coming!" Darick and Dusty replied at the same time.
