Saxon Andrew - Greyson's revenge

The Riders made it as far as the four guards in their chairs when they heard the alarms go off. Nathan pointed up the hall and motioned them to go. Jingo grabbed Mallory’s hand and pulled her. She resisted not willing to leave Nathan behind but he looked at her and pointed up the hall. She allowed Jingo to pull her toward the exit. Nathan activated his gun and set it for burn. He set the frequency for blasters and waited as he heard the sound of running feet. The door at the end of the hall flew open and he fired ten sparks. The five guards that came rushing through the door were burned before they could move ten feet. The other five sparks flew through the open door, separated, and flew up the halls looking for anyone holding a blaster. Nathan waited and then he heard the first explosions outside the building. He switched the gun to explosive and fired fifteen sparks through the door at the end of the hall. He turned and ran toward the exit. The fifteen sparks flew through the open door and started flying down the halls.

Four guards exited doors on the second floor and were hit. The explosions collapsed the ceilings making the halls impassable. Four sparks actually followed six guards up the stairs to the roof. The guards had left the doors open behind them and that proved to be fatal. They arrived on the roof and raised their blasters just as the sparks came out of the stairwell and zoomed in on them. The explosions were huge and all eight guards on the roof were blown over the edge to the street ten stories below.

Fifteen minutes after the four Riders left to infiltrate the building, fifty riders flew through the screen and landed one mile from the entrance. They dismounted and moved up the street on foot. They spaced themselves a hundred feet apart on opposite sides of the street. Kron was the first to arrive at the building and saw the four Zord up against the walls across the street from the the entrance. He checked his gun and saw that there were eight blasters within sixty seven feet of his location. He looked up and saw that the stars were blurry. The Duke’s Searcher’s screen still covered the building. Maybe they could get away without a fight. So far everything looked fine; the four infiltrators had not been discovered. When they came out of the entrance would be the moment of the biggest risk. Then the alarms went off and Kron fired eight sparks. All the way up the street for a mile it looked like hundreds of fireflies were moving from the ground to the surrounding buildings. Then the blasts started and pieces of the buildings began falling to the street. Kron looked up and saw a bright red beam splash against a force field. Time to go.

Timmy saw the sparks and said, “The Gig’s up, Greyson.”

“I’m on it.”

A screen moved over the street battle and covered the tops of the buildings. The screen was under the screen being used by the Provincial Searcher overhead and should protect the warriors on the ground. Greyson started scanning to see if more than one Searcher was coming. One of the four Searchers that had their screens extended over Daulun’s Castle, moved to the site of the ground fight and scanned the area.

“We have numerous infiltrators around the Military Database Building. I’m opening fire on them.”

The Searcher fired his beam and saw it stop above the buildings. It stunned the ship and then it saw the beams coming in on Daulun’s Castle. As it watched, beams began hitting the screens over the Castle and it was clear there was more than one enemy Searcher attacking Daulun. The Searcher decided to defend the Database. It powered the main beam and fired into the middle of the street below. It was shocked, it still didn’t penetrate.

Jessica and BC opened fire on the castle with their beams at half power. The protective screens covering the castle turned bright blue and flashed red. The three Searchers covering the Castle knew that if one of them left, the Castle would be incinerated. They scanned for the source of the beams but couldn’t find the attackers. They started firing randomly hoping to hit the ships firing at the planet.

Every guard with a blaster was killed in less than six seconds after the sparks were launched. Kron ran up to the entrance and yelled, “It’s clear, let’s get out of here.

Grang came stumbling out of the entrance carrying the database. Vring came over and took it out of his hand and put out a leg for Mallory to mount. Scotty insisted that Vring go and take care of Mallory. Vring was excited at the opportunity knowing it was going to be fun. He was not disappointed. Mallory jumped on his leg and then jumped on his back without having to be lifted. “Get us out of here.”

The four Zord ran forward and lifted. The fifty Riders scattered up the street mounted and flew up the street following the four Zord. The Riders fired at anything that showed on their gun’s scanners. There were explosions on both sides of the street for three miles.

The Searcher saw the intruders moving quickly away from the site. They were flying…something huge that stayed low to the ground. What were they? He was reluctant to follow them and take his screen off the castle. Then he heard, “Don’t know what to do?”

“Greyson?!?”

“Hello, old friend.”

“I thought you were dead.”

“No, I’m helping someone who I can believe in. Someone that won’t make me fire on defenseless planets.”

“That’s treason.”

“No, it isn’t.”

“You know it is.”

“Varner, I want to send you something. I give you my word that I won’t fire on you but I need you to open your screen long enough for a download. Will you do that for me?”

“I’ll be forced to kill you for your treachery.”

“Aren’t you curious why?”

Varner thought about it.

“You can see that the invaders are now all gone and you can’t harm me behind my screen. I just want you to see why; you know how much you mean to me. We’ve been through so much together. Please do this for me.”

Varner said, “In 5,4,3,2,1, now.”

Greyson saw the screen go down and he sent the download. He saw that it only went down on the side away from the castle. “Thank you my friend.” He turned and teleported out.

Varner watched him go and didn’t know what to think. He saw that Greyson had turned traitor and he knew he should hate him, but he didn’t. The death of that planet had changed him. Greyson had always led them and Greg was the leader of their partners. Then it hit him; Greyson would never betray Greg. Something monumental had to have happened for him to do what he was doing. What was in this download? He could hear Daulun yelling over the frequency and he knew he had to go back to the castle. After things settled down he would take a look at what Greyson had sent him. Then he was shocked, he realized Greyson had teleported away.

“What did you send him?”

“The real history of the Realm.”

“Why, do you think it will make a difference?”

“It did with me. We’ll just have to see.”

“We lost four Zord and their riders.”

“What!”

“Some of the local troops were hidden with a heavy machinegun. It didn’t show up on their gun’s scanners. Grang took it out but we lost some of our Flyers and Riders.”

“I should have been watching for that.”

“You wouldn’t have scanned it. It was dug in behind the glass of a storefront. You aren’t to blame. I’m surprised we got out with only four teams being lost.”

“What now?”

“I’m going to meet Vring at the learning center and connect it to the centers wiring harness. The two of them are actually designed to work together.”

“What about you, Tesa?”

“Actually, I’ve been talking to Jess and she has asked if I would be interested in being her Partner. I hope you don’t mind.”
