For Honor
by The Dragoon
Jade crawled like a Lunar death snake under the barbed wire that was the outer perimeter of eagles' Nest a Capital Base. "For honor" he said as he helps his sergeant under after him. "That is why I joined the Ashigaru" Jade "joined" the Ashigaru at the commandment of his Lord, he was a farmer not a soldier. However, he liked to say that he joined it sounded more honorable. After helping seven other members of his squad under the old rusty barb-wire, they belly crawled though the huge green and brown leaves of the Venusian Jungle. Huge Eagle sized moth flutter overhead. Since all of his squad were Venusian farmers so they all knew what plant are safe to touch and what others sucked your blood while you slept. They crawl so well even the grey Croca-deer couldn't see them. All the way up to the artificial tree line that surrounded the Cap base. Jade could see the defences were minimal. A 10' hill, barb-wire and then a trench with minimal guards. Behind the defences was a small command bunker. "This is the sector headquarter. Our job it to take it out. That will clear the way for a large offensive to break the Cappy line." said the sergeant "Sir, with all due respect nine of us can't take a sector headquarters" I said. "That is why I requested some help." When he said that three peasants wearing ripped clothes and wide brimmed has liked I used to wear came over in a strange Cybertonic walking motion. They did not sit down when they arrival at out postion they just stood there. "Warrior, these are suicide Warheads are newest weapons against our enemies." The Sergeant said with a grin. "These will destroy the defences so we can destroy the sector head quarters." "Ok" let us do it" Jaded used the scanner to quickly scan the base and then with the help of Yoshio whom they had taught computers, they uploaded the data of the base to the Warheads. When they were all done, the sergeant counted down "3,2,1, GO" when he said that one Warhead ran in an unhuman pace over to the barb wire a second after the first one left the other two ran off. The first Warhead surprised the Caps so much that they did not shoot. The Warhead ran up to the Barb-wire stopped stood there and then BOOM it exploded sending fire and wire pieces everywhere, and creating a small crater. The other two ran through the gap made by the first one, but now the Caps were prepared they concentrated their M50 fire on one and so that one got so rittled with holes so much that even where Jade was siting he would see though the damaged robot. Then without warning it exploded. Fire blast of the first one enveloped the second undamaged warhead, which then in turn exploded just 2 feet from the trench. The force of the two blasts sent four capital troopers flying into the angled wall of the command bunker and sent about six other troopers diving for the muddy bottom of the trench. Then the sergeant charged and Jade and the rest of the squad followed right behind him. They were all the way though the hole in the barbed-wire by the time Capital trooper finally got up, stund by the blast. Jade jumped into the trench back to back with another Yoshio. Then Jade using his Naginata to cut a stunded trooper's right arm which sent blood all over the already bloody trench. Jade then swung again at the surprised trooper this time sending the Naginata deep into the troopers chest wounding his fatally. With out hesitaion, Jade left the Naginata in the trooper's chest and charged the next trooper with his shogun firing as he charged. The black Mishiman bullet from this shogun just bounded of the dirty green armor of the trooper. Then the trooper swung around so he was facing jade and let out a hail of bullets at Jade. Jade suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg and looked down to see in horror that his leg armor had a large hole in it. Jade automatically fell down holding his leg and rolling in pain in the bottom of the trench. Other members of his squad jumped over him rushing the remainder of the troopers in the trench. After all the troopers in the trench were killed, the sergeant leaped out of the trench holding a large black package. He threw it toward the wall of the Command bunker. Then dove for cover in the muddy ground of the base. Then nothing happened. Jade was about to try to peer over the trench to see what was going on but then BOOM! The explosion came, sending fire and molten metal over the trench Jade looked up from the bottom wear he had taken cover just in time and all the can see was hot yellow fire making a roof over the trench. I second later the blast was over, Jade caustionly peered over the trench in shock to see a hole in the side of the command bunk. Through the hole you could see the chard remains of the computer and personnel of the command bunker. Burning corpses lay all over the metal floor of the bunker. "Why did we do this Yoshio" Jade said? "For honor"Yoshio replied "This is a high price for honor" said Jade's then without looking back, Jade turned and walked the way that they came.
