Chapter 20 of 27

Tim came to the deck early in the morning, and you could see the tension on his face as he stood there and observed the screen in front of him. So, it was the planet where the hostages were.

Shanae followed him, stood beside him, and tried to hear his thoughts. They were a mess, first one thing and then another. "Tim, you need to sit down and cool it for a bit." She said,

She clutched Tim's arm, pulled him to his seat, and then pushed him into it. She looked around, and the crew on the bridge had seen what she had done.

Tabitha looked around and saw that everybody saw what Shanae had been up to. "All right, everybody, the show is over, and the captain is finally at his seat. Come on, let's get back to work." She, like everyone else, turned around and began checking their control panel.

Shanae was trying to become part of the crew this morning, wearing a uniform. Her full, curved chest is now tightly packed in this tight uniform.

She looked at Tabitha and said, "Tabitha, how can you bear to be in this challenging situation? Am I barely breathing?

Tabitha turned and saw her problem; Shanae had buttoned all the way to the top. "Shanae, undo the top three buttons that will allow you to expand your chest."

Shanae loosened the buttons just like Tabitha suggested. She could now breathe and felt more comfortable.

"Tim, I have placed all the probes throughout the city. Do you wish to watch the government building?" asked Sarha.

Tim now snapped out of it. "Yes, what time is it down there?" He now saw the government building with about twenty men with guns standing around it.

"Tim, by our time, it's nine o'clock in the morning. It gets dark around 8:pm down there." Said Sarha.

"Sarha, see if the Commander is available to meet me?"

"She said she was going to be here soon."

Tim turned and saw someone come out of the lift. It was David and Wendy; he got a tentative smile. "Why are you two up this early in the morning?"

We wanted to come and check on you; it has been a couple of days since we've seen you. We just wanted to find out if you were OK." David said as they moved towards his seat. Wendy puts both her arms up, hoping that Tim will pick her up.

Tim bent over, picked her up, and placed her in his lap. "Does your mother know that you're here?"

A voice came from behind them, "No, she doesn't know where they went?" It was Deniece, and she had a reddened face. She walked over to David and looked down at him. Then, she used a carefully controlled tone as she told them, "I told you that you are not to bother the Captain."

"But he said we could come up here to see him." Said Wendy with a bit of a girl's smile. Her eyes were sparkling.

"Deniece, it's OK. I did tell them they could come up to see me anytime." Although Tim now looked at David and Wendy, "that was before your mother got here; you will have to mind her."

"OK, but can we still come up to see you?" asked David, as he looked up at his mother, rubbing his hands down his pant legs, trying to wipe them dry. "With our mother's permission." Asked David.

"Please!" said Wendy as she looked up with a sad smile. She was pulling herself into Tim's side for a hug.

"OK, who could say no to these two."

"I can, but it's hard." So replied Deniece, as she stood next to David. She looked at Wendy sitting on Tim's lap. And thought, '

she looks so charming sitting there

.'

Tim lowered Wendy to the floor and stood up. "Tabitha, I'm escorting these three back to deck three."

Tabitha nodded, turned to wave to David and Wendy, and then turned back around in her seat.

All five left for the lift with Shanae at the rear. "Tim, is she your new girlfriend?" David turned to see Shanae following.

"David, that is not polite to ask that question." Said Deniece. She looked at Shanae, "I am sorry for that."

They all entered the lift, "No, David, she is a friend." Tim said as his cheeks flushed.

"She is a girl, and you said a friend, so that makes her a girlfriend, right?" asked Wendy.

"Since you put it that way, yes, she is a girlfriend," Tim answered as he turned a little redder. Then, he turned to look at Shanae.

She smiled at Tim and blew him a kiss. She then turned to Deniece and said, "I am his concubine!"

"Mommy, what's a concubine?" asked Wendy.

"Well, Wendy, let's put it this way." As Deniece looked at Shanae, "If my memory is correct, she would be Tim's second wife and a wife to his first wife. In all ways. Am I not, correct?"

Tim just looked at both Deniece and Shanae.

Shanae turned to look at Wendy and Deniece, "Yes, you are correct in all areas, if Tim so wishes," Shanae said, Smiling a playful grin.

They all walked to Deniece's place. Wendy strolled over to Shanae and wrapped her tiny arms around Shanae's legs, and said, "I like Tim's second wife; she's nice."

Everyone smiled, and the three of them went into the unit while Tim and Shanae headed back to the bridge. "So, now I am your concubine, girlfriend, and second wife. And there are Tabitha and Tammy. May I ask how you do all of us?" She let out a burst of spontaneous laughter.

"One at a time." Tim felt free-spirited, "One at a time. We will have to see which one of you three will be first."

Tim and Shanae walked back onto the bridge, and his mood changed back to business. The Commander was there waiting for him.

"Tim, what did you need?" she asked

"I was trying to think ahead, adapting to any new situation, but I think we have everything covered. Can you think of anything?" Tim asked. With all the battles he has been in, he strongly believes you must be prepared.

"What time will the action start? So, I'll have everyone ready."

"It gets dark around 8, and I'll take the ninjas on Tabitha's ship."

The rest of the day went slowly; Tim and Shanae went to his quarters to rest.

It was time to start. First, Tim checked with all the commanders making sure everything was a go.

Pauline had been in the TOC all day and kept a watch; everything seemed quiet with all the probes. She told all craft to be cloaked, sent the two shuttle crafts to the pirate's ships, but they would not dock until ordered to do so. The other shuttle crafts were sent to their locations but instructed not to land and waited for further orders.

Tim and Shanae sat in the Pilots compartment to wait for the signal from the head ninja. Tim departed with Tabitha's ship and used the thrusters to not show up on any radar. They landed two miles out from the city, giving the ninjas time to get into position.

"Tim, do I have to wear this uniform," She said with a strained voice. "You and I both know I can heal within two hours." Shanae was taking a deep breath. "This suit hinders the way I fight."

"OK, take it off, but keep on the belt. That has the communicator on it. We need to keep in touch."

"Tim, why do you wear that suit? Everyone knows you can't be hurt?"

"It makes me feel like part of the group. But I think I will remove it for this fight."

They both remove their uniform shielded suits. Tim has on his fatigues with a t-shirt. Shanae has on her black chest band about four inches in width, holding her breast tightly close to her body and cloth thongs. She now has her confidence back and the ability to move freely.

***

The ninjas left Tabitha's ship headed to the capitol building. There were fifty going out this time. Each knew their target and what was expected of them. To have this many at one time could cause a problem.

They would do the first miles in a single line. The last mile, each ninja would find their pathway. Once in the area, seek out and watch the target. Once their target was eliminated, go to the nearest entry point of the government building.

Once all guards were eliminated. The signal would be given, and all would enter the building. Each floor must be cleared first before going to the next.

Tim sat in the co-pilot's seat and watched the viewscreen. The view was from one of the cloaked probes which showed the front of the building. He saw two guards in the front, one on each side of the stairs leading to the main entrance.

It was getting dark; Tim saw a silhouette move towards the guard and continued to go behind him without knowing it was there. The ninja arose rapidly and scraped a knife through his throat. The guard's eyes were widening then bulged out. She slowly lowered him to the ground. At the same time, the guard on the other side of the steps came to the same ending. Each ninja checked the immediate area and then stood with their backs to the wall.

To Tim's understanding, all guards were to end in the same way. Shanae sat beside Tim all this time and watched the screen. "They are good!" she said with a sparkle in her eyes and a grin. "I could not have done any better."

Tim turned his head to the side and asked, "you can do things like that?" Lifting the eyebrow and staring at her.

"Of course, the ninja excelled in all the martial arts and were also skilled in hand-to-hand combat." She said with a grin that conveys secret knowledge.

They turned back to watch what would happen now. Tim thought, '

I just wonder how much she is keeping from me

?'

Shanae listened in on Tim's thoughts, and her eyes danced with pride, knowing she had him wondering about her.

The ninjas cleared the first floor and had one small light in the front window, and this was to let Tim know. That floor was cleared.

The ninjas cleared all three floors and signaled for Tim to come in. But, instead, Tim called Pauline and told her to start the attack.

The shuttle pilot took Tim and Shanae into the town square and set it down. As Tim exited the shuttle, he could hear all kinds of fighting going on. Shanae stepped out right behind him. Tim turned to see if Shanae was there; as he turned, a few pirates jumped them.

Tim, not knowing where to look, felt the first one stabbed him in the right side. The knife went in, and the pirate thought that was the end of him. He drew his head back quickly, thinking about the next person.

Tim allowed the pirate to step back, turned, and hit him with an elbow to the nose. He had shattered his nose. He then turned and drew his sidearm weapons and shot the pirate at point-blank range.

He felt the area that the knife had entered his body. There was a little blood and nothing else.

At the same time, Shanae saw two more to her left. With her speed, she got to the first and took her knife and cut his throat, turned right, and kicked the other one in his chest, and as he fell backward, she speeded past him cutting his throat also.

She didn't stop there. She noticed a couple of others on the other side of the yard. She tossed her knife and hit one in the chest. The other, she pulled down from his backside, breaking his neck.

Tim just stood there, totally astonished. He was watching Shanae moving so fast, and he could just barely see her. He looked back towards the building and saw two men run towards the entrance.

Turned quickly and shot the last man first, that way, the lead never knew that someone had seen them. Tim aimed and hit the other before he could enter the building.

Shanae walked over to Tim with a smile, and she said, "One hundred years, and I still have it." She bent down and wiped the blood from her knife on the pirate's body at the door.

She and Tim entered the building and climbed the three flights of steps to the top floor. As they entered the main room, there stood all the hostages and all fifty ninjas. The Mayor came forward to thank Tim.

"Mayor, if you and the others could please remain here inside this building until the fighting has stopped. So, these ladies can see that nothing happens to you."

The lead ninja walked towards Tim. "I will have some ninjas out and around the building, just to make sure, if it is, OK?"

"You know your business, and you don't need to ask. I'll trust your judgment."

She turned and pointed, about fifteen ninjas moved quickly out of the building while the rest took up various positions on all floors.

***

Pauline gave the word to each of the two shuttles waiting. They both used their thrusters to get to their respective ship's airlock doors. They locked onto the airlocks between ships. The first two soldiers through the MTS were waiting for the doors to be opened. Finally, the doors opened, and the soldiers rushed into the pirate's ship and their cargo bay. This bay was empty; they made their way to the entrance of the bay and waited.

By the time the first two made it to the entrance, six more soldiers were through the MTS and all in the cargo bay waiting to go. So, the first two moved into the hallway. Four of the others moved to the doorway.

The first two came to a junction and stopped. They listened before sticking their heads around the corner. As one stuck her head out, there came a shot. She knew that if the shield had not been working, she'd be dead.

But now, knowing it works, she stood up and stepped around the corner. The pirate saw her and fired a few shots in her direction. Hoping one would kill her. But he did not hear her body drop to the floor, stuck his head around the corner to see.

He looked straight into the barrel of her weapon, his eyes became as big as saucers, and a funny look came across his face; she pulled the trigger.

Her friend had watched everything. Her mouth fell open, and she was speechless. She saw it all, still could not believe it.

Her friend said, "It's time to move out." She now walked down the center of the hallway. She had a playful grin and felt better. Her friend stayed behind her. She closed her eyes and took a calming breath, and then moved up beside her, fell into step.

They came up to the stairs leading up to the next level. They've been shot in the head. The rounds just bounced off the shields. They signal the four soldiers behind them to come forward. They told them that the shields worked and to walk up the steps behind them, firing their weapons.

They all stepped onto the steps and took them one at a time. The pirates thought these soldiers were mad and started firing around the corner without a look. However, they still heard the soldiers climbing the steps and did not believe it.

While the leading soldiers put their guns on their shoulders, the others kept on firing. Then these two drew their sidearms. Finally, they walked to the top of the stairs, turned, and looked at four shocked pirates.

The two lead soldiers placed their weapons right between the eyes of each pirate and pulled the trigger.

The other soldiers now knew that the shields worked. So, the word was passed back along the line that the shields did work.

Each soldier did remember that a rifle round would penetrate their suits. So, if you see a rifle, make it the first target.

The first and second groups of soldiers who had entered this ship were now ready to control the bridge. But fortunately, they each were coming from a different direction. So, the leaders of each group stood next to the doorway and waited to see what would happen.

They both stepped out into the doorway so they could be seen. The pirates had the hostages between them and the soldiers. Twenty-five hostages were surrounding five pirates.

The leader of the pirates could not figure out how these soldiers had gotten by all his men.

The two soldiers walked onto the bridge and stood there. Then, finally, one said, "Could you let the hostages go?"

"If we let them leave, we're dead." Said the leader as he was biting his lower lip. He was eyeing the exit, hoping not to see any more soldiers.

The soldiers were told to stay clear of the doorway, and no one was to be seen.

The soldiers laid down their rifles and stepped away from them. One of the soldiers noticed that the hostages were moving a little further away from the pirates. They were allowing space between them.

The pirates were now looking at these two soldiers and not paying any attention to anything else. Finally, one soldier signaled a hostage to have pain and to lay down.

The hostage grabbed her stomach and screamed. Everyone looked at her except the soldiers; the leaders drew their sidearms and started to fire; two more soldiers came into the doorway and fired along with the two leaders. The hostages dropped to the floor while the pirates just stood there and fired at the soldiers.

One of the pirates fires his pistol at a hostage just before he dies. The hostage was shot in the leg. A soldier ran to her side and started first aid. One of the other hostages broke her arm, falling to the floor.

On both ships, there were a total of fifty hostages, and only two were wounded. Madlyn's medical team was right there on the spot to handle these people.

***

The Commander told her troops to go to work. The soldiers unloaded from the main MTS to each shuttle. From the shuttle, the soldiers broke down into four women teams. Each team was to take a street and clear it. Then, they were to remove all pirates from the buildings. If a sniper were seen, the probes from above would take care of them. The soldiers walked down the street side by side, just hoping their suits would stop any weapon fire.

At one point, a team came under heavy fire. The women first stepped back one step. It was an automatic response. Saw that the shields were doing their job, they just stood there and fired back. The look on the pirates' faces as the soldiers stood right there, not believing what was happening, so they continued to fire. The soldiers returned fire while killing the pirates. They now like this way of fighting.

One team had to hide only once because the pirate was using a rifle. His first shot hit a soldier in the side, and she went down in pain. Her friends had the new rifles with the three-selector switch. They were set on two. So, they switched the setting to three, knowing the nano-bots would find the shooter. The pirate raised his head to take another shot. All three women let loose with the fully automatic weapons. They held the triggers down for six seconds, and each gun unloads one hundred and fifty rounds. The wall that the pirate was hiding behind did not exist anymore along with the pirate.

They called in for a medical team, and they were there within two minutes; the soldier was out of there. Her replacement came with the medical team. They continued now at a slower pace.

It took five hours to clear the city. Once the city was liberated, Tabitha came down and met with the governor. She told him that she would be back in the morning and talk more.

Tim met with the Commander and asked if some of the soldiers could stay, just in case. The Commander said she would split her ground troops into three groups and rotate them.

Tim asked, "how many soldiers were hurt?" Tim kept still while he waited for the count. In his hands, he clutched his communicator, twisting it around and hoping that the wounded count was low.

"We only had three shots, not severely, and no one was killed. The hostages, we had seven with minor wounds. Tim, I think this operation went very smoothly." The Commander said politely.

"We will be here for three days, have your troops rest, but stay alert. There may still be some pirates out there." Tim gave a darting gaze out to the edge of the street. He licked his lips, remembering other times. Then, they thought it was over and had to fight still.

Tim returned to the main ship, where he talked to Tabitha about the morning meeting. He had Tabitha call her father and tell him about the fight and that it was over to call his friend and relay the good news.
