Intergalactic Warriors: An interlock

A space friend

The space shuttle "XANAX" has left base Q33. It was heading towards planet RESMORE. X-flux and the others were on their monitors, navigating the planet to see if they could find where either Rogers or Regenad where. They were now in the northern Hemisphere and where beginning to land on the plains. X-flux was the one that alerted them that they have to go "land search" because of enemy spacecraft locating them. John and others wore their helmets,they all had their rifles while John led the way. Xanax opened it docks like a seawhale ushering out the troopers.

Walking through a place with few trees and landscapes was not what they ventured for but, what can they do. They had to save their friends, the order was already authorised by Gen.Tecro who suggested they go with backup but John told him is best they went alone giving that going with troopers would rise alarm for the enemy to re-visit Resmore for another attack. FEW IS SAFE PER SAY John hinted the general. Reluctantly the general agreed but told them to inform BASE via transmitter once they find something amiss or endangered. They took any equipment necessary for their space trip to Resmore. It was just forty -five minutes from base to Resmore.

'Wait a second" John was picking signals from his tablet. They rest gathered round him to see what he got. "X-flux where exactly did you say Regenad would be? "

"Northern hemisphere." Replied the bot.

"Well that should be this plains from the geographical perspective"

"Exactly" replied the bot."

"What is it" mirabel asked." Do you think is Regenad"

"I wouldn't conclude yet Mirabel. It might be where he dropped his trackers or something because if it him, the dot over here " john pointed at the screen , there was a radiating signal."should be coming towards us not.."

"Steady because definitely Regenad would come looking for us" Sonia completed.

"Exactly, it seems like something might have happened"

"Oh please let's not go about there"Mirabel said. A little frown on her face.

"X-flux please can you can calculate the distance between here and the tracker" John needs to know if where they were about to go was trekkable or not.

"Well according to my statistics we have about forty-three kilometres north-east to the tracker but if we go by air we could cover the distance by 43seconds/2km"

"Well by air, will arouse suspicious so I say we trek" John bypassed them, then stopped."Are you lot coming or not?"

Regenad was so weak. He had hit his head hard on a rock that made him unconscious. He was feeling light-headed already like one who had so many drinks on a first date with his fiancee just that he has never married. Who was bloody thinking about marriage when you are in a WAR ZONE. No time for relationships, No time for love. But some of the troopers were already falling in and out of love secretly at base. He was just feeling pains all over him. He tried sitting up, it became more excruciating like he was going to die, he couldn't move his elbows, looks like he had minor dislocation. He might have fallen heavily from the spacecraft before its explosion. "WHAT A PILOT HE WAS HUH". He was thankful for the heavens he was still alive. More reasons the Metorics and xivallians stopped chasing him, they might have thought he was dead. 'Silly bunch of morons', he grunted.

He tried using his hand to jerk his shoulders.

"Krak' the bones cracked. He felted relieved that he was able to correct one shoulder remaining the other. He did same thing to the other and felt himself relieved the more. WHERE THE HELL WAS HE?

Sure he was in Resmore but definitely not in the battlefield, he was somewhere close to the mountains. He heaved a sigh. He tried feeling his tracker but couldn't find it. He started searching for it. It mustnt be far from where he was. He tried looking for it a few steps away. The parachute. He went were the parachute was rumpled and found it. The Green light was blinking. Would it be base trying to make contact with him or another spacecraft was hidden somewhere. He looked towards the horizon, where the hell was he going to go?. Well he was heading North so that means he has to keep going north..because south is typically death zone, as the battle was held in the southern hemisphere. He wiped his face with his hand.

"Well here goes nothing"

He paced gently, still staggering from the fall.

John and the rest had covered about twenty kilometres, at the end distance, X-flux would inform them letting them know how much further they should go. They had backpacks with snacks and everything they needed on it. They were on top of the mountains, and were descending from the summit heading towards another desert area now.

" Wait a minute" Sonia said. " Look at that"

Sonia pointed. Far down in the desert they could see a figure coming towards the mountains. John took a stethoscope and then knodded.

"That's Regenad" he affirmed.

With speed and haste, they started down the steep and rocky path down the mountains.

***

Regenad has thought one of the possibility of at least getting see a craft or was it base already sending help his way. Whichever it was he kept walking towards NORTH.

"Regenad"

He stopped in his tracks. Was that his name of course it was. He knew he fell almost fifty frets from the sky that does mean he has lost his hearing abilities.

"Regenad"

The voice came again, it spunded like Sonia. He looked straightforward, THERE was his team, John,X-flux,Sonia and Mirabel all running towards. He never have felt more happy than now, seeing his team cone looking for him.

"Sonia," he likewise sprinted towards them, holding the tracker with one hand and his head up high.
