"Our Ship has finaly made it back to Mars. It has been a while. I observe it's perfectly orange sand as I pull on my helmet
and check my weapons for any flaws. Most of my men did the same as our personal ship touched down. Several other carriers holding
troops and tanks landed near us and unloaded." Quote Crow

The troops landed on Mars and started to unpack their equipment. The Tioxion crew carried little to nothing on them. They unloaded
half a dozen tanks and one mecha-suit. it was a large robot suit were a pilot could strap in the front and use the one hand and a
large chain gun for the other. Two men could sit in it's back and provide cover fire. Several fighters flew overhead and scouts were
sent to give an early warning. Several sniper teams were depyloed by Scope. Demolition experts lined the tracks ready to stop the train
if needed. Miller had all men flank the train and ready to board if possible.
Rouge walked out of the transport with little armor. He put on his helmet and waited for the train to come. he laid parelle to the tracks.
They waited for and hour before the train arrived. the train was computer opperated but it could be manualy piloted. All around it was a
flying mass of large bugs. Some looked like worms others like hornets and fly's. Some looked like 4 or 12 legged spiders crawling onto the
train. They were stealing the bombs being used as cargo to hide in the nuclear mush. They had already stolen a consideralbe ammount but
the train was a 1/4 empty by the time Tioxion arrived. Two massive looking ships dropped onto the sand and bugs looking like mantises
but with larger hands ith fingers immerged. They held regular issued hunting rifles and shotguns but many had heavery weaponry,

Scope sat alone. He saw the ships taking off and he fired at a poilot who appeared to be human. He then looked over to the bugs stealing
the bombs. One fly had grabbed a bomb too large to take and Scope took the oppertunity. He fired a round at the bug and the bomb
exploded killing that and several other bugs. Two fighters soared overhead and ripped up the sand while firing rounds at the bugs.
The advancing front row was dammaged and was now unleashing its ammo. Old bullets and laser soared by the men and Crow who stood patiantly.
Finaly he raised one hand and brought it down slowly. 1,000 Mariens rushed foward breaking off into small bands. Lasers were fired from the regular
issued blaster riffles. Bugs fell much more easily than the Maarines in their aromor. Many held swords with chainsaw looking edges
As more bugs pilled into the swarm the train appeared to be getting closer but no rounds were fired at it. Soon several large metal
spider's came into veiw and both bug tanks and human tanks alond with mecha-siuts were involved in the fire fight. Rockets and EMP-
RPGS were fired into the oncoming group of oncoming bugs. Many stepped on mines killing many but when one fell two took their place.
Crow put away his revolvers and pulled the large blade off his back. His new white battle armor and helmet made him look opposing .
The Gaint bound into battle.

Over head several trasport carriers and battle ships engaged the bug fleet trying to exit the planet. The piolt that Scope
killed had slummped over his yoke causing the ship to speed into space. A civillian ship had entered thesystem unknowingly.
The bug's ship rammed it's needle like bow into the port side of the craft. Plowing through the bug's ship ripped a hole in the vessle.
Many inside didn't wear protective suits and thoughs who managed to get them on only stalled the inevitable. Bodies were hurled into
space and exploded from the vaccume. THe pressure so great their blood boiled until finaly causing them to explode before freezing.
Any skin that remianed on the corpses hung floating into the gravittional pull. The ship joined the rest of the broken peices that floated around mars.
Babies and children along with adults burned in the short explosion of a fire ball when the two hit. The airless space made it soundless
and extiguished the flames. The people who managed to get suits on also died in the inferno. Burned corpses and dust poluted the windows.
Bugs on the enemy ship paniced as their engins exploded sending lage fireballs through their air filled cabins. After short minutes
inside were roasted bugs. The stench was unbearable. Yet that didn't matter because all the living inside the ship were dead. An explosion
broke the hulll into shrapnel as it sent peices of metal into space. Bodies of the civillians were slashed and cut open. Many bodies
looked like giant pin cushions. The blast sent a body backwards and speared it onto a broken hull.
Fighters flew from battle to pick up any stranded surviors but none could be found. As their engins fadded away a green hand half
bug half man gripped the side of the wreakage and a mutated man pulled his way out from his hiding spot folowed by others.

Back on the surface the train slowed due to the mass ammount of bugs trying to unload their cargo. Rouge ejected two small knives from his gauntlets
and cut into the metal bottom of the train. He managed to cut through with amazing speed and climb in. He killed the bug controling the train.
He grabbed the mantis by the head pulling its mouth up. He cut the top of the mouth back through the neck clean off.
Crow rushed forward disarming the bug with a sweep of his blade. He pulled out a revolver and sent a blast up and threw the jaw of the bug.
The head exploded in a ball of green slime. It matched perfectly with the rest of the bug blood on his now dirty white armor.
He stepped in the carcas as he swung the blade with ease cutting of two legs and splitting another bug in half. He started up the chain saw and leapt
with the aid of his armor into the bugs. He slashed cutting enemies to peices. A larger bug shot him with a shot gun almost peircing his armor.
He barrled head first into the bug slamming the end of the blade into the creature. He looked up and under his helmet he smirked as he
let up on the restraint of the chain-saw. The blade cut fuirously into the beast shreading it from the inside. Gut's, intestines
and vital organs were thrown from the decreasing beast. He shoved his gauntlet into the bug and crushed it's heart in his hand before using
it as a sheild. More bugs relized he was amist their ranks and turned to fire. He held the bug up behind him and heard the satisfying nosie of the buge being
blone to bits. Peices hit the back of his helmet. He soon relized he was out of a sheild. More bugs swarmed him some jumping on his back.
One found the missing peice between his armor and his helmet and placed the barrle of it's gun there. Crow grabbed onto one of the legs that it held ont him with
and threw the bug over his shoulder. The leg broke off as the creature sailed into it's comrades. Dropping his grenade and straping the sword to his back Crow leapt onto a bug
slamming the remainder of the leg into it's eye. Crow dashed out of the huddling group of emimies.

On Scope's hemet flashed an icon. Folowing it to it's source he watched Crow drop a grenade and run. Scope lined up on the
inactive weapon and fired a single round into it. The round traveled through the leg of a bug and into the grenade causing it to explode wiping out
dozens of the insects. After he releashed the shot he went back to what he was doing previously.

Rouge had just finished stoping the train when a large spider walked by. Rouge reacted by fliping onto the ceiling and holing onto a pipe .
The spider walked in and saw the shut down train. He began to turn it back on when Rouge swung down and kicked it through the windshield of the train.
the spider rolled off the train and onto the tracks. The bug hit a mine setting it off. Looking out the window Rouge saw the mass ammounts of bugs coming from
the landing ships. Hundreds of renforcements rallied to help their fallen brothers. Looking out the other door he saw several mecha suits getting ready to attack. Rouge put the train on
off again. Rouge kicked open the door hitting a security bug in the face. When it regained it composure the bug screeched a warining before Rouge
shoved his gauntlet down it's throat leatting go of the saw. The bug squirted blood from it's kneck. He retracted the blade licking the blood from his face.
He jumped from the train and ran to the suits. He oredered all but one pilot to get into the suit. he jummped into the suit and lead the half dozen
suits in a charge at the train. They all pushed breaking apart the cars. With a big enough ipening Rouge let lose the chain gun sending
round after round into the enemy. One soldier modifyied his with a rocket launcher and fired at the leving transport.
Another had a large cannon for a hand and another a repeating pulse canon. The three gunners ripped holes in the enemy lines while the other seven knocked over each train car killing amny
bugs underneath their huge bulk. Rouge blasted a hole trough a train car lanading a sever shot on the next transport sending it spiraling
to the ground.

miller pulled out his chain sword and killed the several bugs that overan their home position. Cutting a leg off one he took the shotgun from teh bug and placed it near the eyeball
of the bug. he unloaded it exploding the bugs brain. Miller turned and let of several more shots into the bugs. the rest of the soldiers piled onto the bugs and soon fought them back.
They moved onto the safty of the summit of the rock face to be able to spot more enemies.

Scope let off more shots taking out bug snipers. He then spoted heavy gun positions being built and let out shots killing the wokers. A sniper locked onto him wen another of Scopes
team. Scope shot out more ugs leaving holes in their ranks.

The mutants began to fly through space. There were a few hundred.

Crow charged holdign a rifle. He blasted bugs head off in a green explosion of slime. Many of his men had died and he would let no more die in the process. he oredered his men back to check point two.
As they all arrived he ordered an air strike. Several fighters and bombers screetched overhead. The fighters ripped up the soil around the eneimies.
There short range missles made quick work of the transports. The shrapnel impailed bugs as they tried to run with no availe.
Rouge's suits were pushing them to the left of the track. before the bombers attacked he ordered them to drop 3/4 ovtheir payload in a straight line.
All 20 bombers did so creating a large hole. then the rest of their bombs impailed the right flank.

Miller saw that the threat of bgs was no longer a threat. He ordered hsi men to fire at the bugs. his Rockets and missles stopped their tanks from approaching.
Scope could see that the Mariens were wining. It didn't seem right. He lcked onto an ememy and fired. The round went straight threw the bug.
it dropped in a heap and was lost after more bugs crawled over it. He shot more bug as they fell. his gun ran out and the spare ammo in his crate was gone. He picked uphis repeating cannon and headed to the front lines.

The man next to Crow handed hm a chain gun as the man set up an artilary post. Crow leapt out of the trench and pressed the gun to a bugs head. this was the las bug outside the trench.
He let it go shreading the head to a million peices.
He than lead the charge at the bugs trapped in the hole. His suit blasted away at the bugs. His suit's hand turned into a flame thrower and lit the bugs on fire. oen ran screatching
into crow. crow took the chain gun and placed it under the burning bug. He pulled the trigger and the bug flew into the air while losing large parts of it's body.
rouge picked up a bug. He herd it's head crunch as he lifted it into the air and slamed it onto the ground. He jumpe dinto the air and his suit crushed bugs with loud snaps as it broke their bodies.
He then turned and fired up and down the rows of bugs trying to get out. he turned and saw a large ammouth of black figures flying twoards them. It was the black jeackets. A group of mutated hornets. They all gave birht to
two eggs. their forces grew stronge daily and their armor took several rounds to peirce. Rouge roared as he sent shells flying tward them. many others saw them and began to fire.
the mutated tails shot stingers and had a laser part on the end of it. They also carried bombs or guns on them.
Many others took part at trying to down teh bugs. Fighters sang overhead as they fired nt the bugs. one pilot though that he could shoot from under his cocpit. The bugs fired when it opend killing him.
it dropped takign three bugs and smashing them into the ground.
Scope gabbed the sniper rifle from the man next to him and fired off a round breaking th ewing from teh bug. Crow watched the shot as it killed the insect. T all his captins he told them to order were to shoot.
he then equiped a scope to his handgun and let all hell break lose. he fired round after round at the bugs crippling many. He and Rouge met up as a pilot got into the mech.
crow looked at rouge and nodded. Rouge backfliped and Crow jumped as two fighters came down and got them. they both activated theirmagnet boots and drew their blades.

Miller and his men had forced the remaing bugs into a giant trench from the bombs. He fired blast after blast into the pit. he ordered a full retreat as hundreds of grenades were lobbed into the air.
Each was timed for ten seconds. All the troops dropped to the ground in a mix of red green and white. The grenades went off sending a title wave of green bodies flying over the troops. Goo and gren blood hit Miller in the face.
Scope sawthe explosion and shot the carcases as they flew.
Crow herd the boom but didn't care. the laser bolts that flew by him were not just the guns from teh ship. the bugs saw him and dcided to kill. He had cut down 27 and 44 stood left.
Or did until Rouge did his thing with the fire and oil and not preaty. the returned to th battle and found how many they lost.
3 tanks , 42 men , one suit(piliot got caught int a pile of bugs on the train tracks. ) The remaning me boarded their ships and tok off twoards the city. Crow's men climbed abord their
ship and flew off to see how the space battle went. While flying they saw the remainders of bodies. Several men in space suits were recovering what they could.
