(Y/n pov.)

"Hey..." You turn and see Wash looking handsome as always...Wait what the heck he's in armor I can't even see him...stupid... "So I see old habbits die hard, aaaand you brought the merc with you". "And what's that supposed to mean Mr. I do what I want?" Wash inhales about to correct him when you shush him "what didn't see me on the roster and so now you're all confused?" "Well kindof you don't just have people not show up on systems like that", "you sure you didn't just miscount the chickens?" Felix growls and Wash chuckles. "You always had a way with words agent (s/n)". "So another freelancer...(s/n) tho that one's definitely not on record". "Like I give a meow", "now why are you hear not somewhere over with our rainbow troop?" "Felix has asked us to fortify the area before Locus comes back". You turn your back on them and look out over the landscape."Oh so 'creepy' other merc who goes by his armor name is coming to call and Felix dosent want to die?" Felix takes a silent step towards you and you whip out a gun twirl it and land it on your shoulder so it's pointed where you asume is directly between his eyes. (It is) "woah, woah, woah, heh, hey now Washington can you get the guy to chill a little?" You twitch your gun back into its holster but just as fast you pull out a knife and swing around and stab directly next to his foot before he has a chance to flinch. You look up and see his gun trained on you. "Oh no what's the matter are you scared?" You snarl "that was your warning".

"Surender, now and I promise only to kill the mercenary". "Well meow", "Oh yeah you and what army?" Cloaked soldiers start to appear. "The federal army of chorus". "Well looks like I walked right into that one"... no meow Griff learn to keep your mouth shut. "Well looks like backup isn't getting here in time". "Uhhh Wash what's the plan?" Wash fires and yells "get to cover!" Everyone scatters, with the 2 mantis fighting each other behind you and the feds having mostly cloaked themselves again which your soldiers haven't been trained to spot you're pretty much meowed. The reds get a tank but then more feds show up with heavy artillery. You take take a few of the cloaked ones out without drawing too much attention to yourself. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the soldiers dilemma, guilt of killing when you know that your aim is true. Donut seems to have taken care of the reds problematic mantis but Locus landed a bomb on the tank. The feds keep coming and Felix's supposed backup is nowhere in sight. Locus lands a shot on Donut and freckles power is critical and you are starting to loose your chill. Then the unexpected happens. "Tucker!" Tucker the Tucker that you know is charging right at the feds and doing surprisingly well. It's seems your the only one who's not to shocked to lay down cover fire so you do. And he makes it, all the way to red base only to be cornered by a fed. Lopes however decides not to scheme and try to kill us for once and shoots the guy however so no harm no foul? Barb these guys will never cease to amaze will they? "Come on all together now we can do this!" Wash shouts but then it happens, before you can stop it Wash is in the ground and people start to panic. Barb meowit... Lopez and Sarge go down too. You lean over Wash no bulle-, I knew it! There's no way that he was gonna kill us and-. Freckles gets shot without his shields up and goes down too, you hear two loud booms, "Hey! Thier just stunned! Thier gonna be ok!" You yell only to be drowned out by the reinforcements running down a passage into the fray. Freckles miraculously gets up and takes out some feds but Locus starts taking them out as soon as they have a river confirming your theory. He's not our to kill us and seems to have a personal connection with Felix... you now have to make a choice. "Guys! Guys come on!" "We've gotta seal this tunnel!" Wash looks at you standing a couple paces away, you nod. "Freckles, shake" "Hey no what are you doing!?" You are jerk ed back just as the rocks fall and you flip the one who grabbed you into a choke hold against the cave wall. "Why the MEOW did you do that!" "We can't loose bolth of you!" Tucker yells. "I don't care what kinda stupid freelancer bullmeow that you guys pulled there but bolth of you can't just commit suicide like that, I'm not letting you!" You sense someone approaching and Slam Tucker's head to the wall knocking him out. "What happened to him?" Felix asks as you pick sling him over your shoulders. "Rock to the back of the head when the tunnel closed also probably shock it's hard to watch your commanding officer get taken out to save you." Felix nods "well we're moving out" you nod and follow.

"Michael, Caboose Dexter, Griff Richard, Simmons Lavernius, Tucker and..." "None of your meowing business". Kimble turns and stops dressing you at this. "The 4 of you have traveled great distances, retrieved ancient artifacts, brought corrupt men to Justice, and bested the greatest war criminals this galaxy has ever known and now it seems fate has brought you to our door step". "No pressure". She glances at Griff and continues " I am aware that you have been informed of our situation, and I understand that you are reluctant to help fight a war that is not your own, we just received word that the federal alliance has your friends alive and in captivity." "Thier alive!?" "What's gonna happen to them?!" "We're not sure," you scoff "but if their alive it means they can be rescued, and it means this war may become yours after all". You turn and walk out your friends are alive! The big bad empire had them! You need us to help save them! This is like fricking starwars but not the good ones... You find yourself a nice high place and sit connecting the dots. There's more going on here then their seems to be why couldn't you have let me go with Wash Tucker...why did you have to pull me back...why....
