Enigma Story Chapter 2
#3 of Untold Wars
Pantorin walked in the armory to pick up his new white battle armor. He disrobed and put on the light weight armor on. It had a red enigma symbol on both shoulder pads. Pantorin retied his light saber belt and sheathed his saber. Then he remembered that he was needed back at briefing. So he walked off. As for Wolf and Jessica were already there discussing their next counter attack from the Allegiance army. As they were planning Pantorin arrived on the secne with his new battle armor.
"Did you four come up with a plan already?" Pantorin asked
"Not yet, master." Wolf answered
"Why not?"
"Because, General we can't find a better way to stop them for long." Bob answered.
Pantorin activated a hologram map of the battle zone. He studied the map carefully to see if there is a way to counter the Allegiance army. "I have a plan. What if we station Bob's men in those two buildings to ambush them."
"We tried that plan before, master." Wolf said
"Yeah, but they wouldn't expect us to do it again." Pantorin said
'Our sure that'll work, sir?" Lee asked.
"It has to." said Pantorin
Then at the Allegiance base, a shield appeared around it and slowly started to move in their direction.
"A Reflector shield. Now that's gonna make thing's damn near impossible." said Lee
"Master, once that shield is over our heavy cannons. They'll destroy them." said Wolf.
"How long do we got until they reach our cannons?" Asked Pantorin trying to come up with a plan.
"At that speed, they'll be here within the hour." said Bob a little worried.
"I need a better layout of the battle zone, I'm gonna go to the observation tower." Wolf said walking to the tower, with Jessica following close behind. Pantorin, Bob, and Lee continued their planning. Once they got to the tower Wolf looked through a pair of binoculars to see the advancing troops.
"Hmm... Their keeping the shield just in front of their troops."
"How about we flank to the left." Jessica suggested.
"It would take too long." Wolf denied.
"How about down the middle?"
"That's suicide. The only way anybody can sneak down the middle is if you disguise yourself as a Allegiance soldier unless..." Wolf put the binoculars down and started coming up with a plan.
"Fine, my first lesson is to wait while you come up with a plan." She leaned against the metal railing.
"Well, the wait's over. Come on." Wolf and Jessica headed back to briefing. Once they got there Pantorin and the two bob cats were still coming up with a plan.
"Master, not only do I have an idea, but I have a plan." Wolf told them of his brilliant plan and Pantorin listened carefully. And he agreed with him. "Alright men time is against us. May the Enigma be with us all." said Pantorin with confidence in his voice.
Meanwhile on the bridge. The Allegiance army came to halt and so did the shield. Boris's communicator started beeping, so he answered it. A hologram of a cloaked wolf appeared.
"Are you sure the the Supreme Commander odered another attack?"
"Of course commander why would I lie to you." He said lying through his teeth.
"Okay, we'll destroy the Pantoran army and the two Enigmas with them." said Boris
"Good commander, you can continue with the assault." The hologram disappeared, Boris put the communicator away and gave the signal to continue. And the army continued marching.
Back at the Enigma base. Everybody was in position, Captain Lee ran to Pantorin's position. Then the shield passed over them. "We're in the shield. Now's the time to attack, Captain." Pantorin said as he drew his light saber. The emerald beam coming out of the handle.
Then blasters started firing from both sides. Pantorin jumped out from his hiding spot and started blocking any shot that came at him. The battle barely started and both sides were losing men. "Are you sure this plan of Jetfur's is going to work?" Captain Lee said in between shots.
"We'll just have to wait and see, Captain. Now focuse on the battle." Pantorin went back to blocking.
Meanwhile on the other side of the bridge. Wolf and Jessica had sucessfully sneak behind enemy lines. "It worked, master." said Jessica excitedly.
"Don't get too excited, young one, its not over yet." said Wolf reassuringly.
Back at the Enigma base. The battle was resuming. Pantorin sliced one soldier head off and did force push on the soldiers behind him. He blocked two more shots and did force grip on a broken tank barrel from the last battle they had. Pantorin swung his paw to the side and the tank barrel hit the three soldiers that were shooting at him. Being overwhelmed he retreated behind a barricde they fixed up. Then Lieutenant Bob ran up to him and said. "Sir, their almost to the heavy cannons. What do we do now?" "We still gotta hold out, until Wolf and Jessica blow the shield generator. Go guard the cannons, I'll hold them off." Pantorin ordered.
"Yes, sir." Bob and his men retreated further back. An Allegiance soldier jumped over the barricade, but little did he know Pantorin was still there. He got stabbed by Pantorin's saber. The soldier body slid off. And all of the sudden the barricade exploded. Pantorin covered his eyes so the dust wouldn't get in his eyes. There was ten Allegiance soldiers, and three tanks. Then one tank hatch opened and Boris revealed himself. Pantorin put his light saber away and raised his hands to surrender.
Then Boris spoke. "Ahh. The famous General Pantorin. Get his light saber." He ordered. A soldier walked to Pantorin blaster still aiming at him and took his light saber, and went back to where he was standing.
"Shall we discuss surrender terms Commander." He used force grip on a few large pieces of rubble and put them in between him Boris. Boris got out of his tank and took a seat across from Pantorin.
"Now don't try any of your Enigma mind tricks on me." He said sounding seriously.
"Don't you think we need some beverages for our negotiations." Pantorin requested
Boris accepted his little request and ordered a soldier to get some drinks.
At the Allegiance base. Wolf and his apprentice found the shield generator. "Hmm. That's odd." Wolf said getting a bad feeling.
"What's odd about this, master?" Jessica asked curiously.
"Its too easy. I'll go set the charges and you wait here."
"Why not let me set them. I already have them." She ran to the generator.
"No, Jessica." He chased after her. Then she tripped on a little antenna and three assassin droids came out of the ground with blasters drawn. Jessica got back up and drew her light saber. A green beam came out of the handle. She stabbed one in the back and pulled it out.
"Go, I'll handle these two." Wolf shouted as he drew his saber and sliced one in half.
Jessica did a force push on the last one and it skidded across the ground, activating the antennas, and more assassin droids came out of the ground.
"Who side are you on anyway's? Set the charges." Wolf said getting angry.
"Alright, setting the charges." she said to herself as she set the charges.
The assassin droids started to shoot at Wolf and boxed him in at a broken wall with a hole in it big enough to fit Wolf. "Anytime time now." He continued blocking.
"Wolf, don't move." She did force grip on the wall behind him and started to pull it down.
Wolf looked behind him and saw the wall began to fall. "No, no." He covered his head. The wall fell crushing all the assassin droids around him. Wondering why he didn't get crushed Wolf looked around and saw the hole in the wall. He walked up to Jessica and said. "Are you trying to kill me?"
"I was just trying to help, master." Jessica apologized.
Back at the Enigma base. At the heavy cannons, Lieutenant Bob, Captain Lee, the rest of their men are trying to hold off the rest of the Allegiance soldiers. Captain Lee ran up to Bob and said. "Sir, General Pantorin has been captured. What do we do, sir?"
"We must hold out, keep firing soldier." Bob ordered. They went back to shooting
"So my men will be getting fair rations and we'll be sending them food." Pantorin negotiated.
"Your stalling for something. Take him." Boris ordered. Two soldiers grabbed Pantorin by his arms and lifted him out of his chair.
"Alright, Boris you got me, I thought your Reflector shield would've been destroyed by now." Pantorin admitted.
At the Allegiance base.
"Did you set the charges?" Wolf asked still a little mad.
"Yes." Jessica answered.
"Well then what are you waiting for?"
Jessica pressed the detonation button and the generator blew up in the back. The shield disappeared.
On the battle field. A soldier asked. "Is it suppose to do that?"
"Fire!!!" Bob ordered. And the heavy cannons let loose a barrage of shells.
Pantorin noticed the shield was down. So using his mind tricks he made the two guards shoot each other. And did force grip on his light saber and grabbed Boris. Pantorin put the beam to his neck. "Funny how things work out."
"I surrender." said Boris admitting defeat. Then the Pantorian fleet arrived to help out their comrades. Three gun ships flew to the Allegiance base to pick up Wolf and Jessica.
They were sitting there waiting for their rides. "Your a reckless one. You never would've made it as Pantorins apprentice." Jessica felt sad until Wolf said. "But you could make it as mine."
Jessica looked up at him and smiled. Then a gun ship landed and they got in and flew back to HQ. As they were flying by Wolf saw Pantorin talking with master Torn. The ship landed behind them, Wolf and Jessica walked up to them. Pantorin turned around.
"Any trouble with your apprentice Jetfur?" Torn asked
"Well, Jessica is a little rough around the edges." Wolf looked at her and continued. "But with some time and patience, I think she'll make a good apprentice." He finished explaining.
The elderly wolf stared at the two of them and spoke. "Very well then, Jessica Young is your apprentice. Meet you three at the temple I will." Torn turned and walked away.
Wolf looked at his master. "Something tell's you were behind this. Come on Jessica." He walked to the starship with Jessica close behind.
"More than you know Wolf, more than you know." He followed them.
