The kangaroo carcass he ran over had  \nripped through much of the underside damaging the linkage that made up the four  \nwheel drive system and severing the drive shaft to the rear differential.\n\n\"Good thing we rocked up when we did, looks like you're  \ngoing to need a tow\" he said to Stanley as he slid out from under the car \"the  \nentire drive shaft is stuffed to buggery\"\n\nStanley slammed his fist in to the driver's side door making  \na loud thump \"God damn it, this vacation has been one disaster after another!\"  \nhe cursed and gave the front wheel a kick \"I should have gone to Miami or  \nHawaii instead of Australia\"\n\n\"Well no sense crying over it now\" Mike said pulling out a  \nmobile phone from his pocket \"I'll call the RAA to tow this to the nearest  \nrepair shop\" he tapped a few keys and made the arraignments for the tow. It was  \na stroke of luck that the nearest town was Wagga Wagga and a few hours a truck  \narrived. It was a tow truck with an extendable flat bed for the car to sit and  \nwithin a few minutes the car was loaded up and taken to Wagga Wagga, Mike  \nturned to Stanley \"we'll give you a lift to town; from there you can find a  \nplace to stay the night\"\n\n\"Gee thanks man, I owe you big time for this\" he replied  \nwith relief as picked up his bags and loaded them into the back seat, \"by the  \nway was that Kangaroo a female or a male?\" he asked as he straightened his  \nback.\n\n\"Phil can you see any pouch on that thing\" Mike called out,  \na few seconds later he heard a voice called back, Mike realised that his friend  \nwas not a happy camper by the tone.\n\n\"No it's defiantly a big male I don't see or feel a pouch,  \nby the way get your ass over here and help me move it off the road, the thing  \nis really heavy and I can't drag it on my own\" he called, it took Mike and  \nStanley a few minutes to find Phil struggling to pull the large dead roo from  \nthe road. The good thing was roo hadn't been dead long so much of its body was  \nstill intact and the threat of pieces of the body coming off was almost  \nnegligible. When the trio finally got the corps of the road Phil straightened  \nup and shook his hands \"damn, I need a bucket load of hand sanitizer now or a toilet  \nwith anti-bacterial soap\" he looked up into the sky \"hey what's that\" he  \npointed to what looked like a meteor moving across the sky only it wasn't  \nbreaking up and seemed to be changing course.\n\nMike looked to where Phil was pointing and gasped seeing a  \nhuge fireball streak across the sky, '_what  \nthe bloody hell is that_ ' he thought until he spotted it change course one  \nmore time heading in their general direction \"oh crap its coming down!\" he  \nyelled before jumping to avoid it. The fire ball slammed down in paddock,  \nskidded along for as few meters before hitting something sending it air born  \nlong enough to clear the road then slammed down again and skidded to a stop in  \nthe opposite paddock. Mike got up and dusted himself off then looked around for  \nStanley and Phil \"hey you guys ok?\" he asked hoping they didn't get hit by the  \nfalling object, he was relieved when Phil and Stanley came running up.\n\n\"Where fine but that thing crashed in that paddock, it may  \nbe a plane or something\" Phil replies before climbing over the fence \"there  \ncould be people trapped inside we got to help them\" within minutes he  \ndisappeared into the night.\n\n\"Phil wait up, it could be dangerous\" Mike called back  \nfollowing suit, he knew that if it was a plane crash there would possibly be a  \nfuel leak and quite possibly an explosive hazard '_damn you Phil if you get blown up your dad will kill me_' he thought  \nas he ran.\n\nStanley ran to the car and began to rummage through his bag  \ntill he found what he was looking for; he pulled out the small plastic carry  \ncase, set it down on the boot of the car and opened it. Inside was a satellite  \nphone which he wasted no time to set up, he quickly punched in a number then  \nwaited for someone to pick up. \"Hello Headquarters, its Agent Donavan we have a  \nsituation here\" he said into the receiver, \"code word Prometheus....yes two  \ncivilians both teenage kids....location of crash is Hay planes Australia lock  \nonto my sat phone for GPS coordinates....roger that they will have full security  \nclearance.....I'm unsure if the Australian defence force has tracked the crash,  \nwill continue with extreme caution.....keep you posted Donavan out\" he packed the  \nphone away but kept it active so the NSA could get the GPS coordinates, he then  \ngrabbed his side arm from his bags and followed the trail after Mike and Phil.\n\n_High orbit over the United States_\n\n\"Admiral we have tracked the transmission to a country the  \nhumans of this world call the United States of America, analyses indicates it's  \nnot the rebel ship but it is being sent to a system in sector 937\" the comms  \nofficer said as the Imperial strike cruiser Jericho moved into position.\n\n\"So these humans have ties to the Anthro's in that sector, a  \nvery formidable group and a good choice people to have an alliance with but  \nlike the others they will be crushed\" Admiral Graham Constantine said looking  \nover the comms officer's shoulder \"have you pinpointed the exact location of  \nthe transmission?\" he was replied with a slow shake and a reassurance he will  \ncontinue to work on it.\n\n\"Admiral, how long can we stay here?\" came a voice from  \nbehind him, he turned to see the captain of the Jericho standing in the centre  \nof the bridge looking him dead in the eye \"we are still damaged and we may be  \nunable to defend ourselves if we are attacked again, I suggest we travel to a  \nre-gen station and make repair...\" he was cut off with a response from the  \nAdmiral\n\n\"And let the rebels escape? no we stay and take our chances\"  \nhe turned back to the comms officer \"find the source of the transmission  \nquickly and let me know\" he gave a nod the captain and walked out the door  \nwhich closed like a heart valve behind him.\n\nThe captain sat down in his chair and looked out on the  \nworld before him on the main view screen. This ship, his ship was one of the most  \nadvanced war ships in the Imperial navy and he would be dammed if some lesser  \nshadow of the Imperium would destroy her after all the Human Imperium only  \nfound these marvellous living ships and were having trouble trying to 'build'  \nmore. '_I hope you know what you are doing_'  \nhe thought as he picked up a data pad and ran through the ships duty rosters  \nfor the next shift.\u0026nbsp; After a while he  \nlooked up from the pad, with an expression of purer thought he tapped his  \npersonal communicator \"recon teams Delta and Sigma report to the shuttle bay, I  \nneed you for a special mission\" he waited second before smiling at the response  \nthen left the bridge for the shuttle bay.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n_At that very moment on Earth_\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMike had never  \nimagined that he would be making first contact with an alien species and now  \nthe opportunity was right in front of him. '_man  \nthis ship is beautiful_ ' he thought to himself as he looked over what he  \ncould see, the ship looked like a cross between the Normandy SR-2 from the Mass  \nEffect series and the Hyperion from the Starcraft series and even though Phil  \ncalled it a heap of junk held together with duct tape, rubber bands and paper  \nclips the ship was still a beautiful piece of alien engineering. Mike was about  \nto get a little closer to the ship when he heard some footsteps coming up fast  \nbehind him and instinctively turned around to see Stanley run up, on his belt  \nwas a hand gun.\n\n\"Ok what's with the gun?\" Mike asked looking very worried  \nhis eyes darting back and forth between the gun and Stanley; he was still doing  \nit when Phil ran up from doing lap around the crash site trying to find a way  \nin.\n\n\"Maybe I should reintroduce myself\" Stanley replied \"Special  \nAgent Stanley Donavan, National Security Agency\" he pulled out his wallet and  \nshowed his ID, \"I've been instructed to give you full security clearance by my  \nsuperiors\"\n\n\"Ok now we have that sorted out what's our next move\" Phil  \npiped up after a moment of silence, he turned to the ship \"I didn't see any  \nentrance into the ship at all and well much of it is buried\".\n\nMike didn't know what to believe at this point, not only was  \nhe about to make first contact but a man who he helped fix some of his car  \nproblems was an American spy. The whole series of events were doing his head in  \nso he put it aside for the moment and approached the ships raised aft section  \ndropping down into the ditch it had made on impact, the hull was still  \nradiating heat but it wasn't as bad as before so he was able to get pretty close  \nto have a good look. The ship seemed to be made out of a strange material that  \nshimmered slightly but was not fluidic however this wasn't the thing that  \ncaught his eye, under a dislodged panel was what could only be described as an  \nexternal computer terminal about the size of a one terabyte hard drive.\n\nInstinctively Mike reached for the panel covering his hand  \nwith his jumper before doing so and prised it open to get a better look \"hey I've  \nfound something\" he called as he touched the terminal, suddenly the ship  \nshuddered causing Mike to jump back almost falling on his backside. '_Ok not a smart idea_' he thought as he crab  \nwalked backwards as fast as he could as the ships shuddering became more  \nviolent, on the underside of the stern several large panels started to open  \nlike a doors revealing landing struts that extended outward to the ground and within  \nminutes the ship was standing instead of its bow firmly entrenched in the paddock  \nwith its ass in the air '_scratch that,  \nnot a dumb idea after all_ ' he thought as a what looked like a ramp into the  \ncargo hold descended revealing several stacks of crates piled high wrapped in  \nwhat looked to be shrink wrap.\n\n\"Not bad kid\" Agent Donavan said helping Mike off the ground  \n\"ok I'll take point, you two bring up the rear\" he pulled out his gun and  \nflicked the safety off followed by a small LED flash light from his pocket then  \nslowly made his way inside, Mike and Phil followed suet making sure not to fall  \nbehind too far.\n\nThe Trio hadn't gotten far into the ship when they were  \nstopped by a body stuck under some fallen girders, he looked like a medical  \nofficer of some description but it was hard to tell. Donavan kneeled down and  \nchecked for vitals but was startled when the man groaned \"quick help me with  \nthis\" he said to Mike and Phil who quickly moved in, with a few grunts the  \nthree of them managed to lift the beam allowing the man to crawl out.\n\n\"Thanks for that\" the man said clutching his side as he got  \nup \"by the way are you native to this world?\" he looked over Mike and the  \nothers \"and I take it only humans evolved on this world\".\n\nMike nodded and was about to speak when Phil blurted out \"holy  \ncrap he's human\", he received a quick clip across the back of his head for that  \nstupid comment, Donavan shook his head in embarrassment at the comment and  \nalmost face palmed himself as well.\n\nWith the comment out of the way Mike made the introductions  \nthen offered to help. \"Well glad you're here to help and not to kill us, I'm Dr  \nHarry Stanhope head physician of the Black Scythe rebels\" he looked around  \nbefore turning back to Mike with a look of utter fear \"the others, they may be injured,  \nwe need to help them!\" he turned and began to clamber back through the debris  \nhe was stuck under yelling back \"follow me and hurry!\" the three did so hoping  \nthey could reach them in time.\n\n_Jericho's bridge, High orbit over the USA_\n\nThe door to the bridge opened as the Captain stormed in his  \neyes full of rage, Admiral Constantine turned to him and smiled \"Ah Captain  \nMarcus, just the man who I was looking for\" he said with a happy chirp in his  \nvoice.\n\n\"Admiral, my I point out that this is my ship\" he said  \nlooking the Admiral dead in the eye \"not only am I allowed to send recon teams  \nout to find a crash site but I can choose which to send out, not only do I find  \nout my orders to recon teams Delta and Sigma have been changed but teams Alpha  \nand Gamma have been sent in their place\" he kept his composure as the expression  \non the Admirals face turned from happy to a look of distain \"care to explain  \nwhy my orders were countermanded?\"\n\n\"Teams Alpha and Gamma are better suited for the job;  \nbesides no order on this ship made by you is no secret to me even if I wasn't consulted  \nremember that\" the Admiral said before beckoning him over to the gunnery  \nstation \"you remember the signal that we detected?\" he asked.\n\n\"Yes, the one being sent to sector 937\" the Captain said,  \nhis expression turning to confusion at why he was asking him, it soon turned to  \nhorror when he saw that the Gunnery chief had locked in a targeting solution on  \nthe computer. \"Wait you're not thinking of doing what I'm thinking you're about  \nto do?\" he asked panic welling up inside of him.\n\nThe Admiral nodded \"yes I am, the signal came from this city  \nbut was terminated before we could get a solid lock on it\" he turned and looked  \nat the main view screen \"so I intend to destroy the city\".\n\n\"But the civilians that live down there, they will be  \nkilled, the planets\u0026nbsp;military forces will find us and launch a counter attack!\" the  \ncaptain protested \"they have nuclear capabilities!\"\n\n\"Captain  \nAndrew Theodor Marcus, may I remind you that in this situation these \"humans\"  \nare affiliating with Anthros and more importantly an enemy of the Imperium. Even  \nif it's a small number of them they are still affiliated with them and as  \nstated in section 9 paragraph 3 of the Imperial Edict any civilian population  \nof a planet that is affiliated with an Anthro in any way shape or form that  \nhave been designated as an enemy are expendable!\" the captain yelled back, turning  \nback to the gunnery officer he yelled \"fire!\"\n\nThe centre of the ship opened up as if it were a flower to  \nthe sun making a sort of star shape, in the middle of the star an orange ball of  \nenergy began to form steadily growing and changing in colour to form a massive  \nyellow sphere of death. Within minutes the gun was at its maximum energy limit  \nreleasing the built up energy in a massive pulse blast, the pulse shot through  \nthe vacuum hitting the atmosphere with lightning speed. As if guided by a  \nstring the pulse sped toward its target like a juggernaut of supreme  \ndestruction till it found its mark, to many on the ground the first thing they saw  \nwas a massive golden beam land directly on the White house before a massive  \nenergy ball slammed into it causing the building to explode, the blast didn't  \nstop there as a massive wave of fiery destructing began to radiate outwood as  \nif it we a re-enactment of the movie Independence Day.\n\nBy the time the blast had run its cause the  \nentire city of Washington DC was nothing more than a burning ruin, not a single  \nbuilding, statue or tree was left unscathed and anyone in the city was  \nkilled. On the bridge of the Jericho the captain just looked at the admiral with  \nutter disgust before leaving the bridge, he had seen some atrocities in his  \ntime but this was the straw that broke the camel's back. As for the admiral he  \njust stood in the centre of the bridge and revelled in the destruction he had orchestrated  \nnot knowing he set of a chain of events that would eventually end with his  \ndeath and the rebels acquiring a few new allies.\n\n**To Be continued**\n\n* * *\n\nThe Die has been cast and now all hell\u0026nbsp;is set to\u0026nbsp;break loose, be prepared for the next chapter, hopefully I will have the details planed out for some M/F and some\u0026nbsp;F/F scenes so if you have ideas please let me know. thankyou\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Rebellion","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/579822-rebellion-chapter-2.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/599416-rebellion-chapter-4.json"}}
