I have received permission from Shetland and RAVEN FOX to write this as its set in his universe, again I'm sorry for any spelling and grammar errors and flow problems you may encounter.","content":"_Planet chimera sector 14_\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"We are under attack repeat we are under  \nattack this is not a drill all personnel man your stations\" the PA system  \nblared over the claxon, all around the base men and women both human and anthro  \nscrambled to their action stations. This was it and everyone knew it, the enemy  \nknown as the Human Imperium had tracked down the once hidden fortress on this  \nback water ash world and were preparing to wipe it from existence.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Where are our reinforcements?\" General  \nWorthington asked as he switched between tactical viewing screens surveying the  \nenemy fleet's battle formation and the status of the ships that were preparing  \nto evacuate the base, his battle worn face showing an expression of dread as  \nwell as anger. He was one of the many humans who saw the Imperium's views on  \nanthro's to be anything but barbaric and thus left the Imperial Army to join  \nthe merry band of Rebels he now considered his new family.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I don't know the enemy are jamming our  \ncommunications, I can't get a signal out\" a feline replied from the comms  \nstation, he was a young King Cheater that looked like he was fresh out of the  \nacademy but in actual fact he was a fully trained communications specialist and  \na veteran of several engagements.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nOn the screen the General saw a large  \nDreadnought move into the centre of the blockade and register as charging its weapons;  \nwith lightning speed he backed orders to a gecko who was manning the anti-ship  \nguns, with a nod he flew his hands over his computer console and brought up a  \nfiring solution with the Dreadnought squarely pinned as the primary target. He  \nthen turned to the general with his finger hovering over the firing button  \nlicking his eyes periodically; the general gave him a nod and without looking  \nlet his finger drop. The facility shook as several Ion cannon Batteries fired into  \nthe sky, on the tactical viewer several markers indicating the volley they  \nfired moved toward the enemy a second screen flashed up showing live video feed  \nfrom one of the many communication satellites the rebels had placed in orbit.  \nSeveral blue energy beams streaked toward the blockade and hit home sending  \nenergy sparks dancing across the Dreadnoughts hull, several smaller cruisers  \nand destroyers were also hit and soon were also joining in the light show after  \nseveral seconds the sparks stopped and the ships went dark.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Ok that gives us a window,  \nlieutenant start the evacuation, tell them to jump as soon as they are clear\"  \nWorthington said with a sigh of relief. He had bought the rebels much needed  \ntime to run the blockade and safely flee the system, but it would not last for  \nlong.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Yes sir!\" a young dragoness barked back and  \nbegan to work her controls, she brought up the main PA interface she then spoke  \ninto her microphone on her head set \"All stations we are beginning the  \nevacuation of all non-essential personnel, all fighters stand by to escort your  \ntransports out of system\".\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n_Meanwhile on Earth_\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMike sat on the porch watching  \nas his best friend Phil packed the Toyota Camry, this had to be done for Mike's  \nsake and to make sure his Uncle wouldn't find him until the courts settled the  \nmatter. But it didn't mean that they couldn't have fun in the process and Phil  \nwas going to give Mike the best damn holiday ever since his parents died, Phil  \nhad planned it all out first they would travel to Sydney by car to visit the EB  \ngames Expo, they would then leave the car with relatives and then fly to the  \nGold Coast for Mikes eighteenth birthday before flying back to Sydney and  \ntaking the long way back to Adelaide where Mike would move in with them  \npermanently. Phil looked over at Mike and noticed he was looking down in the  \ndumps again, he had been looking like this ever since the chain of events that  \nled him to live with his Uncle, this turned out to be a bad choice as everyone  \nsoon found out that he had anger management issues that resulted in physical  \nabuse and Mike copped a lot.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"hay Mike, lighten up will you this is going to be a grand adventure  \nfor you and your looking like your about to go do something drastic\" Phil said  \nwith a chuckle while placing an extra jerry can into the car.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What, oh yeah sorry just dwelling on the past\" Mike replied as he was  \nsnapped out of his state of deep thought. He got up and walked over to his  \nfriend before helping him rearrange the other items they were taking with them  \nso the jerry can could fit, \"It's just hard to shake the memories of being  \nbeaten, whipped and thrown down a hill into some Boxthorn\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"It's ok just keep your head in the right place\" Phil said and closed  \nthe boot; he then pulled out a small check list and ran through it. Satisfied  \nthat he had everything he then told mike to hop in, Mike did so and with a flip  \nof his middle finger to the house he lived in for most of his life the two  \ndrove down the driveway and set off on their grand adventure.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n_Planet Chimera_\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe facility shuddered as another volley of artillery fire hit the now  \nfrail structure. All around them were pieces of debris and dead bodies of those  \nwho weren't so lucky but then again it was a miracle the place hadn't collapsed  \ncrushing everyone inside. The small group of furs and humans worked their way  \nas fast as they could through the maze of corridors trying to find a way to the  \nfew remaining transports left but they seemed to be going around in circles but  \nthen again everything was going to hell.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Are you sure it's this way Kal? I swear we passed that room before\"  \nthe dragoness said as they walked hurried past a door marked Elevator C, she  \nwished that she could have stayed in the Command Centre with General  \nWorthington but he was insistent and also stubborn.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Yes I'm sure Galadriana! I know this root like the hairs on the back  \nof my hand\" the King Cheater said as they moved at a semi jog, they were  \nrounding a corner near the Archaeology lab when they ran into the Bases Chief  \nMedical officer Dr Harry Stanhope carrying a strange device in a containment  \nfield.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Oh thank goodness I ran into you people, I thought I was the only one  \nleft\" he look around the group and his expression changed from relief to  \nconfusion \"where's the General? Isn't he with you?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe group just shook their heads with sombre expressions, the short  \nsilence was broken by another shudder, the P.A. suddenly sounded and the  \nGenerals voice came through \"All personnel still in the base, the enemy has  \nbroken through, shock troops have entered the lower levels and I'm activating  \nthe self-destruct if you can make it to any ships still on the ground or not  \ndestroyed do so now\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe group looked at the Doctor and gave him a look, no words were needed  \nand he followed suet as the group ran to find the exit. They hadn't gone far  \nwhen a Wolfess came running around the next bend firing periodically back the  \nway she came with her twin blaster pistols, her gunfire were immediately  \nreplied by a flurry of plasma bolts.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Ahhhh don't come this way!!!\" she yelled to the group who began to  \nrun back the way they came the soldiers who we escorting them stayed behind to  \nslow the advancing Shock troops down. \"I hope you brought energy clips because  \nI'm down to my last four\".\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nGaladriana tossed her three and pulled her side arm out of its holster  \n\"Nice to see you Marci, care to enlighten us why you had a shit load of Shock  \ntroops following you?\" she said as they ducked into a side passage.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe Wolfess shrugged as she caught the clips \"I was on my way to help  \nload one of the transports when they poured in like water from an open tap,  \nscared the shit out of me when they did and as for the Transport well\" she  \npaused to clear her throat \"it's now a smouldering wreck on the tarmac, thanks  \nfor the ammo by the way\" she smiled at the Dragoness, a dirty thought crept  \ninto her mind but she pushed it back.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Is there any other way off this base?\" harry asked looking franticly  \nfor a clear passage, his hands trembling as they remained clasped around the  \ncontainment field.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"yeah, my ship is in the dry dock, she's fuelled and ready to go\"\u0026nbsp; Marci said laying her golden eyes on the  \nsmall human, she noticed the alien artefact \"by the way Doc why are you  \ncarrying that thing? Think you can sell it for a quick buck hmmm?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"No, I was heading back the med wing when I ran into the team assigned  \nto getting it off world they were all dead, what was I supposed to do just  \nleave it for the enemy?\" Harry spat back knowing very well the nature of the  \ncomment by the cocky smuggler.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I guess not, we better hurry otherwise we're all dead\" Marci said  \nbefore bolting down the corridor, the others ran after her as fast as they  \ncould through damaged corridors and ransacked rooms till they arrived at the  \ndry dock. In the first bay was a freighter which looked like it was built from  \nscrap \"there she is, my pride and joy the Hornet\" she walked up to one of the  \nmen standing at the hatch and asked where her crew was, the man just shook his  \nhead telling her that they never made it except for the helmsmen and he was  \nslightly hurt from falling debris.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nWith a nod and a pained look she ushered the crew on board and began  \nthe launch procedure. As the loading ramp retracted to the hatch several men  \ncame barrelling through from the corridor each were holding heavy weapons, the  \nlook of fear was on nearly everyone's face as the enemy took up position and  \nreadied to fire only they never did get a chance as a shudder ripped through  \nthe facility, like dominos the men outside fell down and were unable to get up.  \nA large screech echoed around the large cavern the dry dock was made out of  \nfollowed by several support beams breaking and falling into what sat below,  \nafter all the dry dock was built inside a volcano.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What's happening?\" The harry asked feeling the termers from within  \nthe ship, he looked like he was about to freak out but was calmed by one of the  \ngroup a vixen who had managed to avoid the shock troops and liked up with them.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"It's the base; the reactor is going critical we need to go now!!!\"  \nGaladriana yelled and made her way to the bridge, she was followed by Marci and  \nthe others who then split up to cover their designated stations.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe moorings holding the ship were released and the ships engines roared to  \nlife, the ship rose till it was approaching the main hanger doors. As there was  \nlittle or no power to open them there was only one course of action they were  \ngoing to blast them open, everyone turned to the person manning the Hornet's  \nweapons arrays with a quick flick of his tongue over his eyes the Gecko who they  \nknew as Gecks fired everything they had reducing the doors to molten slag. The  \nship shot forth from the gaping hole and lifted off for the sky reaching escape  \nvelocity within minutes, the only thing that stood in the way of the escaping  \ngroup was the blockade which was now targeting them however as the enemy  \nprepared to fire the base exploded causing the planets' crust and mantle to  \nshudder violently, being an ash world it was possible to make the planets' core  \nunstable with a powerful reactor melt down and the Rebels knew this.\n\n\u0026nbsp;  \nThe planet buckled and began to break apart as the Hornet shot passed the enemy  \nships which by now were starting to manoeuvre and escape before the planets'  \ndestruction, the small multipurpose ship shot passed and managed to get to a  \nsafe distance just as the planet began to tear itself apart from the forces  \nwithin its core turning the blockade into nothing more than molten slag and  \natoms to all but one that managed to break free well before the planet went  \nnuclear. The Cruiser turned slowly to face the escaping ship and locked onto  \nits engine signature just as it engaged its hyper drive disappearing in a flash  \nof light, the Cruiser followed in hot pursuit spinning up its faster than light  \ndrive and jumping to hyperspace not knowing where they were headed or what they  \nwould encounter.  \n\n**To Be Continued**\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Rebellion","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/579822-rebellion-chapter-2.json"}}
