TEMPUS CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Retribution took off for McGuire Air force Base.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher do not call traffic control. Find the C17, our soldiers will be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFound them. They are in front of an empty hangar.”<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat let’s go have a better look. Looks like they are sleeping. I think we will wake them up.”<\/p>\n

They circled the C17 and landed beside it invisible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher I need a safe target for E1 to destroy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a dumpster off to the right of the men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cE1 you have the coordinates.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will need flamethrowers minis and rockets. Let’s give them smoke lights and some music. Airbourne Live It Up<\/a><\/b> 120 DB.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou sure know how to talk to a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHey that\u2019s my line E1\u201d Lorelei said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd a very good one Lorelei,\u201d said the fighting machine.<\/p>\n

Everybody on their toes these men have live rounds. Side shields deployed E1. M1 take the right. Lorelei take the rear. I will take what’s left. Shades Face masks and personal shields on. Sweetie, you have the baby shield on?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher open communications between us.\u00a0Give us a picture of where the men are.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are 21 men out front one inside the hanger. There are a pair of pilots and a loadmaster in the Plane. The men on the ground are armed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher the three on the jet\u00a0are very sleepy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, they are Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cE1 camera’s on. Music on when we are in range. Double time let’s wake the dead\u201d said Cristian. While Cristian’s battle team sped up, time slowed down, everything seemed to happen in slow motion for them. For the soldiers sleeping not so much.<\/p>\n

Music played full volume as they rounded the front of the C17<\/a> Jet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the fuck?\u201d Said one of the men.<\/p>\n

They were holding their ears when E1 fired two rockets at the dumpster followed by the spinning and firing of all three Mini’s. There was smoke and flames and lasers as the metal dumpster was shredded. One soldier managed to get a couple of shots off before M2 disarmed him and dropped him to the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the fucking ground or die now,\u201d Cristian said pointing his full-auto shotgun with Double bayonets.<\/p>\n

\u201cE1 spin mini’s in their direction,\u201d he said out loud.<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei, can you bring out the man in the hangar?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure sweetie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAny aggressive moves will make E1 very nervous. Her minis are spinning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon’t fucking move I still have a lot of rockets left.” \u00a0E1 puffed a twenty-foot triple ball of flame to drive her point home.<\/p>\n

\u201cE1 don’t kill anyone if you can help it,\u201d Cristian said out loud.<\/p>\n

Lorelei managed to get behind the man in the hangar and put a gun to his head.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease drop your weapon Sergeant. I don’t want to see anyone get hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

He put his weapon down and pulled a knife.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not taking me down Bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really hate that word,\u201d she said and shook her head. Lorelei moved very slowly and holstered her weapon and took her clown mask and shades off. A few moments later the Sergeant was on the ground nose bleeding.<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant I am not really a bitch, but that word can make me grumpy on occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was just an exercise I am Lorelei Wolf.”<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant Helm ma\u2019am. Matthew Helm\u201d said a hurting Sergeant.<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei, did you hurt him?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI broke his nose, we are on the way out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExercise is over soldiers at ease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian pulled his happy face mask and shades off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know who I am?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are the leader of the whole freaking planet,\u201d said one of the men.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will address me as First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGather your weapons. In a few minutes, this whole area will be filled with soldiers that will want to save that dumpster.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cForm up at the rear of the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCorporal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you\u00a0mind waking the\u00a0men on the Jet?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant I think that nose is broken. Did you call her a bitch? She really hates that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo she told me, sir. I apologize sir.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s not me that needs the apology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight sir” He stood in front of Lorelei.<\/p>\n

\u201cI deeply regret my words to you in the hangar Ma’am I am sorry for my behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI did point a gun at your head, I am sorry about breaking your nose. Carrying the baby makes me a little edgy. Get some ice on that as soon as you can Sergeant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMa’am\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian one of the men is a Lizard,\u201d said Watcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I smelled that familiar stink\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it the Sergeant?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant we have a small problem. One of those men is a Lizard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo nothing, I will handle it but feel free to take the safety off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstood Sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

The men were lined up on each side of the ramp at the back of the plane.<\/p>\n

The Sergeant called them to attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian third man on your left is the Lizard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMake no mistake here Watcher.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will bleed green.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet’s check that out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGentleman we are at war. You need to be alert and armed at all times. You were just taken down by a Pregnant woman, a Politician and a couple of machines. I was told that you were the best of the best is that true?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes First Leader\u201d was the simultaneous loud reply.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour job should you accept it, is to kill Lizards, to root them out wherever they are and destroy them.”.<\/p>\n

In one quick movement, he drew his Maker sword and cut the Lizard imposter from skull to crotch Right through his assault weapon. He fell in two. The sword cauterized the cut, but it was easy to see green blood on the edge of the sword. He continued speaking without pause or change in tone.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Lizards left on the planet are spies or assassins eliminate them.”<\/p>\n

\u201cAt ease men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant I see the Base MP’S approaching let them know we had a small Lizard attack but it has been contained. Let them know there is a Lizard body to be removed I don’t want to put that stink in our planes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDismissed, help get that body out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant could you send someone to my ship and tell Larry it’s okay to come out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Leader.”<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst leader you sure now how to make an entrance.\u201d said one of the men.<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian sounds like you unleashed hell. Did anyone get hurt?\u201d Asked Larry.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust one Lizard and a Sergeant with a broken nose.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei do the nose?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYup \u00a0called her a bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYikes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher feed Larry the footage so he can see what happened.”<\/p>\n

\u201cYou may want to sit down Larry.\u201d<\/p>\n

The soldiers loaded the Lizard body into the M.P.’s Humvee one half at a time.<\/p>\n

With everyone on board seated and the Retribution on the ramp. It was time to do the short trip over to Albany Airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you mind if I sit over here? Thank you.\u201d Pointing at the co-pilot seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher I need to know how to fly this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s better thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCaptain let’s get this bird in the air call the tower I will go through the checklist with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you flown one of these before?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am just about to. I flew a DC-3 on my flight simulator once. How hard can this be?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFuck me,\u201d said the seated pilot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t think my wife would like that Captain. Call the tower and taxi over to the runway. I will do the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCheck it out First Leader is flying the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHas he been checked out on this bird?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo way he was a Canuck squid (Navy) they got boats not Planes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lorelei couldn’t help herself \u201c I watched him do a flight sim once I don’t think he has ever flown anything with wings before.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the men kissed the cross around his neck. Lorelei was sure another was praying.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHave some faith, you are talking about Cristian Wolf he didn’t bring you here to die like this.\u201d It was the Sergeant talking now.<\/p>\n

\u201cChecklist done. The tower has given us permission to take off First leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I heard. I am good to go where is the gas pedal and what’s this red button on the joystick? Kidding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristian extended the flaps <\/a>all the way held down both petals and slowly moved the throttles forward. When the engines were up to speed He released the pedals and the plane started to move forward slowly. It picked speed until he could leave the ground.<\/p>\n

He pulled back on the joystick and eased the plane into the air and retracted the landing gear and the flaps. When he was high enough above the houses below, he banked the big aircraft and brought it to the altitude and heading they were supposed to be on.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, Captain I think you can handle it from here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am speechless sir that was perfect. Most newbies would have taken off full throttle.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had lots of runway and with the flaps down we had extra lift. We didn’t need full throttle, you are carrying no where near full weight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUn-fucking-believable sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYa those flight sims are getting better and better,\u201d He said chuckling. You can have your chair back, get us to Albany.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn here it’s Cristian out there it’s First Leader,\u201d said Cristian with a little disdain, mostly for his new title.<\/p>\n

He went into the back and sat beside Lorelei. The man were all clapping. \u201cWhat’s that all about Lorelei?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI told them that you have never flown a winged plane before except in flight sims.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s all true sweetie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCristian Wolf,\u201d she said laughing a bit.<\/p>\n

They Landed In Albany without incident. He thanked the pilots for letting him take the big jet into the air. He told them to fuel up and be ready to leave in the morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoldiers get the vehicles unloaded and onto the Tarmac.\u201d<\/p>\n

They unloaded Two Humvees<\/a> with mounted M2A2 ’50s. Next came a Stryker APC<\/a> with a Kongsberg M153 Protector<\/a> Mounted on top\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid we get a new Station Wagon Husband?\u201d said Lorelei smiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Lorelei, a present from the President. The plane is a loaner from my country the guns and gear from England.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am going to look inside,\u201d said a very excited First Lady.<\/p>\n

After a few minutes, Lorelei exited the vehicle with a great big teddy bear.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s from the President for the baby. Isn’t he a sweet man? A new car and a teddy bear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant assemble the men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that you think you got your ass kicked today, you didn’t. Lorelei M1 M2 E2 E1 and myself cleaned out a base that held 240 Lizards and 150 Collaborators. They were armed with Advanced Lizard weapons. What you did today was the right thing. You survived, Dead soldiers don’t fight well. There was no winning the battle this morning.”<\/p>\n

\u201cM1 when I give the word put a single small arms round into my chest.\u201d\u00a0\u201cNow M1\u201d<\/p>\n

M1 fired a round into Cristian’s chest.<\/p>\n

Within a moment every man had a weapon pointed at M1.<\/p>\n

\u201cHold your fire\u201d yelled Cristian. Cristian picked up the flattened slug and showed to the men. \u201cI have the same armour for all of you In the Retribution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour names are on them. Put them on under your uniforms. The boots are armoured as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The soldiers came out wearing their armour and long jackets they had shed their uniforms and stowed them back in their kit bags.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Leader the men are ready for inspection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLorelei you should come out for this as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cE1 please film this\u201d asked Larry.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor you, Larry anything\u201d was the machine’s response.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Ten Shun\u201d the sergeant yelled out. The soldiers snapped to attention.<\/p>\n

Cristian with Lorelei on his arm walked up and down the ranks.<\/p>\n

The armour and long jackets and boots looked good. With the combat glasses, on looks alone, you could see they were a force not to be fucked with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho are you?\u201d yelled the Sergeant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are the WolfPack Sergeant\u201d was the loud response.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is your function?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe protect the First Leader and the First Lady Sergeant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery impressive men. We have a function to attend to tonight you will protect all humans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes First Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant have them stand easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMen, in public you will address us as you just have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn private my name is Cristian this is Lorelei you are free to address us by first name. My wife and I are warriors, our DNA was altered by Aliens for this purpose. We were built to kill Lizards and that is exactly what we are going to do. My wife and I are part Alien if you have a problem with that you can walk away without fear of reprisal or reprimand. The only reason you should stay is because this is where you want to be. Any man wanting to leave should take a step forward right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not one man moved. They admired this man and his wife for who they were and what they stood for. Cristian knew that he had the most important thing he could get from these men. Their respect.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will need you to line up you will be injected with a communication interface and nanobots. You will instantly learn all styles of fighting and all weapons. The nanobots will help heal you now and in combat. All that is needed is for you to hold this in your hand. You will have to remove your gloves. Sergeant dismiss the men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDismissed.\u201d<\/p>\n

One by one the Wolfpack held Watcher and were injected with Nanobots and an interface.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher route all soldiers communications through the Sergeant from him to me. That should keep me from hearing too many voices at once.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWatcher let’s do a test. Sergeant are you communicating with your men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Cristian.”<\/p>\n

\u201cGood, this is a private communication system that cannot be hacked, But feel free to set up challenge codes. You are in Command Sergeant Major. Split the men into three Squads find a squad leader for each promotes him. It is up to you how you split the men up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMen You have been retired from the Military as of this moment. You now work for the office of the First Leader. You are now part of the Earth Defence Force.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSergeant Major load your men into the vehicles Leave two behind to guard the Plane. We are going to the Hotel we will fly above and handle air support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n

The men loaded into the two Humvees and the Stryker and started the drive over to the Hotel.\u00a0The Retribution was loaded and was once more invisible and in the air. They shadowed the Military convoy and watched for trouble along the route.<\/p>\n
