Kira laughed a little when the woman played with her and she found it a little strange when she tickled her foot. She was an excited woman, even more so than she was and it was odd to see but also refreshing. "Okay okay!" She laughed and tried to stand but wabbled a bit, she didn't think she would be so fatigued. She followed them outside where the commander addressed herself. "Kira Loretta." She introduced herself. The woman spoke about rank and she smiled at her fumbling of words.
Two days had passed and already she was good friends with Astor and Kim. Felicia was a nice woman too. The base was growing. They had a good amount of defensive batteries but kept mostly to units, taking the advice of the survivors. Kira was completely alone and she pulled out a communication screen device in which produced LEGION's eyes. Kira reported a layout of the base and defenses and vehicles. Funds were low so by the time of the invasion these would likely be all they'll have, save a new tank or two. After that Kira decided to propose a new plan. "They're focusing on units, not the batteries. If I take out the power we're likely to lose a lot of units. I have an idea. Let me start a party here that day. They will be relaxed, like the last base. My signal will be the end of the song. They will be focused on my singing and a good time than to be ready to fight. Most of the infantry are rookies." When she was done giving more layout the plan seemed to be accepted. LEGION would have his plan of attack worked out by 2 days. Kira left her office in one of the power plants and left the plant altogether. outside she met with Astor and Kim. "Everyone here seems so.. Tense." She stated and looked around. It was true, they all were scared. "I know what they need!" She gasped and took Kim by the hand and spun in a dance. "They need music, they need fun, they need a party!" She said in a streaming melody. Astor let out a chuckle. "A party sounds fun. But what about the fear of attack?" Kira laughed. "So early? After Boyle took out their enormous army?" Kira had asked about the Ion Cannon during the first day, Kim had told her it was a politician named Boyle and that he had launched two more. Kira was pissy. "I don't think they would have recovered their losses so quickly. It's only been four days. They can't have many reserves since the other two Ion Cannons ripped apart two of their bigger bases." Astor nodded. "You're right. The troops here can do with some morale raising anyways." Kira smiled and looked at Kim. "What do you think?"

Kim would be happy with a party...of course...Felicia would need to allow it completely. One of the snipers added hi comment. "A party? Maybe...we could do with the break from fighting." He still spoke in his mysterious voice. "But...I'm not sure. We spotted Nod scouts the other day. We killed them before they could make it past the tiberium field. But that means Nod knows were here. And that they are likely going to attack sometime soon." The sniper's words made Kim think on it. "Kira...I'm not so sure anymore." She hugged up against the woman. "What if Nod does attack. I don't want to lose you...or Astor..."
Felicia was listening in...before turning to the sniper who'd spoken. "So...would you have any problem keeping watch during a party?" He shook his head. "No ma'am." "Very well. You and your spotter can keep watch, and have a remote alarm. Any sign of Nod, and we'll crash that party faster than I can remove my shoes, and get to battle stations." The sniper smiled. He certainly liked that plan. "Very well."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kane was informed of the new plan. "Hmm...that doesn't seem like what my loyal commando would do. But perhaps this is a new leaf for her. Afterall... jamming the doors to the vehicles...or draining them of gas would be easier. But..she is one of the brotherhood, and I will trust her on this..."

Kira listened to the sniper. "I'm not saying to keep the guard off. I'm just saying have a little fun while you're on guard duty. Dance and jingle while you look out into the vast empty space!" She said melodically again. The commander came and made a suggestion and everything was fine, permission was given. This may not remove all the defenses but it more than likely that a lot of the drivers of the tanks will be in the crowd of dancing people. If LEGION has a great mind then it'll know to strike down the people before they're able to get into their tanks, and that is what the party was all about. If they do focus artillery weaponry into the crowd, Kira wouldn't be worried that she'd get hit. Her brothers weren't untrained. "Oh my god!" She said excitedly. "I haven't been to a party since..." She was about to say "since the return of the messiah" but she stopped herself. "..Since... Well... I haven't been to one! But we're gonna Par-tay!"
Astor cocked an eyebrow. Kim had paused before mentioning him. Kim wasn't normally as energetic as she is around Kira. It was strange and somewhat alarming. As much as he hated to think it but he was missing his battle buddy. He smiled nonetheless. "It'll be great!" He added despite him not really caring for the idea. He never really knew how to dance anyways.

The plan was settled, as Felicia agreed to it. Those who didn't want to party, were assigned to vehicles just in case. Which meant a sniper team would be on the clifftop, a Pitbull on patrol as usual, one Mammoth, and and APC. The commander was also very pleased to announce the addition of their airfield. Which meant a firehawk could do patrol around the base, and an Orca would hover at different locations. Some of the pilots had just arrived after all, and partied enough back at the hangars. This ambush could be rather difficult to execute, remaining unseen, even for LEGION. Whether he be discovered by the air patrol or the Harvesters on their routine. Because of this, some of the more tense people were starting to ease up.
Kim was with Astor right now, as Kira had to go off and do something. "Are you okay?" She asked him. "I uhh...noticed I've not been spending too much time with you..and clearly you're not happy about that. I'm sorry...it's just...Kira is a woman you know...and, I've not had female contact in a while." She hugged her friend and told him she was going to shower, as she left for the barracks.

Kira had broken apart from them to report to LEGION the installation of the airfield and of the number of air vehicles. When that was finished she left the office again and left the power plant. Ever since she was assigned there she made stuff up and told them that maintenance was fine even though she knew nothing about anything in the systems.
Astor shook his head. She explained and hugged him. He opened his mouth to say something but she was already heading off for the shower. He shook his head again. "I don't even know why I'm jealous..." He mumbled to himself. "But it ticks me off." He shook his head a third time and walked away.
The next day Kira was outside setting things up with some friends. She chose the empty spot where a Tech Center is to be placed weeks from now, they took a lot of funds and it'll be a bit before they'd reach enough money. Kira spotted Kim leaving the barracks. "Kim!" She called and ran up to embrace her friend. "We got the shipment we requested. Songs and speakers to blast as loud as we want! We'll show Nod how intimidating they are." She smiled brightly and put her hand up to point at a small podium like thing where someone can sing the next day, then pointed to the two giant speakers on both sides of the podium. "It's going to be so much fun! Do you know how to sing?" She asked with a smile.

"Do I know how to sing?" Kim shook her head. "I didn't know I was gonna sing at the thing. I thought you were."
Felicia came by, looking very happy. "I've never seen them all so happy. They really can't wait until tomorrow. Six months here at this outpost...bored out of our minds." She put her hands together and hugged herself. "I'm so excited." She then approached Kira and gave her a buddyish hug. "And I owe it all to you!"
The next day, was the day of the party. LEGION, meanwhile, was having forces rallied, with the newly reborn Brotherhood. It consisted of several Avatars, Scorpions, Buggies, and Venoms. The infantry were mostly militants in both machine gun and rocket flavors. LEGION set this force up specifically for steam rolling over the enemy, as there was only one entrance. A usual Nod Commander would use Beam Cannons...but LEGION felt they would lack use and be too easy targets. They'd need to set up at night time however. The black boies of the vehicles would receive natural cloak. It would all be on Kira's signal. It was still relatively early in the morning, but that mattered not...LEGION doesn't sleep.
Kim stretched and left for the cafeteria. She'd not seen Astor that morning...usually he greeted her. She began to worry that she was slowly drifting from him. The sight of Kira though made her a little happier. "Hey...you ready for tonight?"

Kira opened her mouth to reply to Kim about her singing but Felicia came from behind telling her gratitude, she seemed so excited. Kira's heart began to feel deep, a feeling she wasn't used to but she forced a smile. "It's no problem. I just don't like to see people so tense." Her smile grew as her heart returned to normal. "I just hope you have fun Felicia!" She took the commander's hands into hers playfully. "I'll see you tomorrow." She let go and the woman left. Kira walked with Kim like normal to talk about random things until the day was up.
Kira woke up and sat up in her bed. She folded her arms around her knees, thinking about today. These people here were so different. None of them wanted lust, none of them wanted blood, they just wanted to live; just like her brothers. She shook those thoughts from her mind and got ready for the day, she'd change again for night. She left the room and then left the base undetected to a bush. From there she grabbed Lazarus, which she had hid before presenting herself, and returned it to her room. When she left she was approached by Kim. "Hey...you ready for tonight?" She said and she gave a shy smile. "Not really... I feel so nervous... Come with me." She said and grabbed Kim's hand and lead her to her power plant's office. The room was cleared and clean and there was room. Kira started swaying right and left and humming melodically. Her voice was in tune, and that was a good thing. When she looked and saw Kim smiling she stopped. "Don't look at me like that." She said playfully with a smile. Seemed humming wasn't calming her but she knew just the thing...
"Dance with me!" Kira demanded. Kim laughed. "What!?" "Come on." Kira grabbed the other woman's hands. "I don't know how." Kira looked at her appallingly. "Well, we're just going to have to remedy that! Now come on." She put Kim's left hand in Kira's right and then placed Kim's right around Kira's waist, taking her own left hand she placed it Kim's shoulder. "Okay, now follow my lead." Kira started moving and Kim fumbled along as best she could. Kira started getting faster and decided to try a spin, Kim wasn't ready for it and fell on her ass. "Kim! I'm so sorry!" Kira laughed and knelt down to help her friend up, the two caught eyes and Kira felt something weird. "Let's... Try again." She picked Kim up and returned to the positions. Kira started leading Kim and Kim was getting the foot movements down finally. "I'm going to spin you." Kim looked up and nodded. Kira spun her only this time Kim collided into Kira and they fell, Kim was on her back and Kira was on top of her. They laughed and Kira met eye contact with her again. "You know.." She started to speak, she wanted to inform Kim of the weird feeling but decided not to. "One more time. Only you lead." Kira helped Kim back up again only the switched positions and Kira's arm was around Kim's waist. They began dancing and Kim was doing quite fine. "Okay, now spin me!" Kim copied what Kira had done and Kira did a full twirl and fell perfectly into Kim's arms. Their hands were still on and Kira's back was leaning against Kim's chest. Kira looked over her shoulder at Kim who was looking down, being slightly taller what with being 2 years older. "I feel... Strange." Kira said and layed her head on the woman's shoulder almost instinctively.

Kim was feeling very embarrassed when she began to learn the steps...but Kira was very good at guiding her. Eventually...it seemed Kira was happy enough with how she did, and appeared tired, as she rested her head on her chest. Kim couldn't help but feel a little aroused at this. "Don't feel strange...I think..." She, made it so they could sit on the little sofa in the office. Kira seemed a bit fatigued, and Kim was a little as well. As Kim was sitting, she saw Kira reach up to her, and start to cuddle against her. "I'm...just...cold." Kira said, with a bit of a shiver. Kim was taken by surprise her...but at the same time, she kind of wanted it. Kim put her legs up and under Kira, so she was now laying down on top of her. Kim flushed red at this...and it seemed Kira had, too. "I...I..." Kim tried to speak, but turned her face away. Kira just took her face in her hands, and made it so they faced each other. "Uhh..." A nervous chuckle from them both...before, Kim and Kira's lips slowly started to transverse towards each other. When they met...Kim no longer felt timid...and it seemed Kira didn't either. They locked, and Kim's tongue immediately explored the other woman's. Her tongue ran along her teeth, along the bottom of her mouth, and the lips. She believed this was the most fun she'd ever had kissing anyone. They released...and Kim smiled, as she stared lustfully at Kira. "Wow...I can't...believe I just did that...." Before she knew it, her lips were on Kira's again, as they twisted and turned on that couch, swapping each other kisses, making out like two teenagers. In the tossing, Kira seemed to lose her shoes...exposing a light skinned barefoot. Kim felt the urge to do some she'd never done before. She lifted Kira off, and asked if she could flip around. Kira didn't seem to know why, but complied anyway. Kim took her foot into her hands, and ran her nose along the arch. To most...it would smell like...raw feet. But to Kim, it smelled heavenly. She ran her tongue along the arch, already in love with how they tasted. She heard a little giggle come from Kira, as she continued the assault with her tongue. Soon enough though, her big and second toe disappeared into the Asian woman's mouth, and light suckling started. Kim could not hide her arouse any longer, she was loving this, and wondered if Kira was also. After the session, the returned to facing each other, and gave one more passionate kiss. Covered in sweat, they both sat up and dusted themselves off. "What...time is it?" Kim asked. "Almost time to party..."
As the sun set, the Snipers got into position, all the turrets were activated, and the Firehawk pilots were starting their checks. This base would be vulnerable, but thankfully GDI knew that, as they made sure there were sentries about. The Firehawks had a long search path, so LEGION needed to place the forces well. A spy would need to study the paths of the aircraft, so LEGION would know where to halt. However, they were all worried it would be to late for them to attack if they waited. The cover of night wouldn't help against the Firehawk radars...this is especially true for the Venoms, which could be detected easier than ground units, and even farther. LEGION contacted Kira, thankfully after she and Kim had gotten intimate. "Commando, I need you to make sure your signal is one of the last things to happen. My spy needs time to track the path of the GDI aircraft."

Kira took a deep breath as she sat on the couch. "What... time is it?" She heard Kim. Kira turned to her and gave an unsure smiled. "Almost time to party..." She stood up along with Kim. "I'm going to go to my room and get ready. I'll see you at the party." She smiled and Kim was the first to leave. Kira stood for a minute, completely stupefied at what just occurred. Suddenly LEGION's voice found its way into her ears. She listened and nodded. "Okay... I'll.. I'll play music for an hour before I give my signal. No more than an hour..." She replied and LEGION must have accepted for he didn't respond back.
Kira took a quick shower after the forbidden ordeal she had committed. She then found herself in her room. She looked at two uniforms. The first was black leather short shorts that went a little above the thigh and a black leather tank top. This was for the sex appeal, it'd get the soldiers howling since the amount of men dominated the women. The other was a thick black dress. She thought of the future and figured that when things go to hell she wouldn't want be tripping over herself. She put on the leather gear and put on some black combat boots, not only was it for the future events but also because this was an army base, it'd stir the troops seeing her look hot in combat garbs. When she was dressed she placed the Lazarus across her waist, the others would think it nothing more than a belt. Then she proceeded to strap a casual GDI issued pistol to the belt, she couldn't bring her baby because it would've been too much to smuggle with the Lazarus. To finish off she put a black band around her left wrist. They wouldn't think much about the pistol, they would think that she was being careful too just in case unwanted guests spoil their party.
It was time, people were all over the grass talking excitedly and awaiting their hostess. Kira made her way up to the wooden podium. She brought her lips up to the podium and attempted to say something but no one heard anything. She turned to the engineer at right and said something. He looked surprised and ran around to the back of the podium. A loud screech was heard and Kira squinted away from the mic. "Oops, hehe." She giggled into the mic. "Hello. I'm um.. Kira Loretta." She smiled. "Your hostess for this evening. Let's start off by giving a big thank you to our base commander, Felicia Edel!" She looked around and noticed the woman smiling over in a corner. "There she is!" Kira pointed. "Thank you Felicia!" She shouted enthusiastically, people clapped and cheered in response. "Okay. Now lets go to all of you brave, valiant.." She saw Kim in the group and smiled wider. "Amazing people. We believe in you!" They let out a roaring cheer, when it began to calm she started. "I know I said I'd sing for you but let's not get too anxious. We have all night! So lets kick up this party and leave the best part for the end, huh!?" They cheered and she turned and took out any random CD. "Lets start this off with a fun one!" She looked over at the CD. "Meaning of Life by Disturbed!" Most of them didn't know the names of songs or bands since they were rare. Since the wars bands and songs were few and the collection of CDs she had were quite old. She placed the CD into the player and it rang out through the speakers and people started having a ball. It seems that someone also brought alcohol.

Felicia was so happy to see everyone in the base so happy. However...when she saw the alcohol kegs she told a few of her men to stuff them in storage. "Not this time. Not while we're still a primary target." She simply explained to those who brought them. Kim was sitting on a collapsible table, twiddling her fingers. She was thinking about what she just did with Kira...but also, where Astor had been. He'd seemed to be avoiding her the last day. She'd brought her FGM(her launcher) with her slung across her back, as she thought maybe if Astor saw her with it, maybe he'd come and talk to her..since alot of the time they did talk during battles. The blonde field commander came by to see how she was doing. "Hey..." Kim greeted. Felicia smiled. "Hey there soldier. Where's your friend?" "...god knows..." "Well I saw him earlier today. He seemed bummed. I thought you'd be the one he'd want to see to cheer him up." "Where did you last see him?" "Oh...at the little soda cooler. See? He's right there!" "Thanks, ma'am.." Kim stood up, and approached Astor. "Hey..."

Astor had decided to go to the party. He was initially against it. He'd been trying to avoid Kim, after all, she needed girl time with Kira, right? Soon enough he found himself at a soda cooler, a soda in hand half full and he already felt like grabbing another as if it was alcohol. He thought he saw some kegs but it must've been a figment of his imagination since it disappeared as fast as it showed itself. He saw Felicia and he did a nod at her as she went by, she said a greeting and he gave a reluctant hello. When she was gone he droned to tapping on the cooler. People were dancing and having a grand time and here he was being Grump McGurt. "Hey..." He heard beside him and he looked over to see Kim. "Hey..." He responded and looked away for a second then looked back and took note of the launcher. "We been attacked yet or does the FGM just make you feel pretty?" He gave a fake smile trying to make it seem like everything was okay. The song seemed to change from the background and some guy announced the name. "Oh, hi Astor, hi Kim!" He heard Kira's enthusiasm as she made her way through the crowd. "Oh... Bad time?" She asked when she saw Astor's expression. "I'll uh... Come back later then." She winked at Kim, Astor didn't notice, then she walked away.
Minutes passed and Kira felt it was time for her big debut, but there's one thing she needed to do. Kim was still by Astor, they seemed to be talking but she would have to interrupt them. "Kim." Kira interrupted and they both looked at her. "I'm about to sing... Could you stand off to the side of the podium near me... I would feel less nervous." Kira smiled and it seemed Kim agreed. When they got by the podium people were still dancing to the song and she just had to. Kira moved close to Kim and kissed her gently and then turned and went up to the podium, her face didn't look too happy. The song cut off and people turned towards the podium. "It's that time now!" She said with a forced enthusiasm. "This is a song named Angels by the band Within Temptation... I sing it today because it shows how we feel in the war... So I dedicate this song, to our war." Not many people, if any, seemed to catch the audacity in her terminology. The disk she used was edited to remove the original singer's voice but the instruments and effects still stood. A depressing chorus of violins signaled the starting of the song, Kira had her head down until it was time and she began...
Sparkling angel I believe You were my savior in my time of need... Blinded by faith I couldn't hear All the whispers, the warnings so clear. I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door. There's no escape now, No mercy no more. No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart! You took my heart, Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they'd turn into real. You broke a promise and made me realize... It was all just a lie.
Sparkling angel, I couldn't see Your dark intentions, your feelings for me. Fallen angel, tell me why? What is the reason, the thorn in your eye? I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door There's no escape now No mercy no more No remorse cause I still remember...
The smile when you tore me apart! You took my heart, Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they'd turn into real. You broke a promise and made me realize... It was all just a lie. Could have been forever. Now we have reached the end!!"
Violins started up again with the piano in the background. Kira had paused for the suspense of the song, her head was low and she could picture the rumble of tanks and Avatars, the drone of Venoms, the growl of stealth tanks. All coming to kill these people, to kill her love. She rose her head and sucked in another breath of air as she continued the song.
This world may have failed you, It doesn't give the reason why. You could have chosen a different path in life.
The smile when you tore me apart. You took my heart, Deceived me right from the start. You showed me dreams, I wished they'd turn into real. You broke a promise and made me realize... It was all just a lie. Could have been forever. Now we have reached the end!!
She had brought her arms up in suspense at the last long drone of the song and lowered them along with her head. As the final violins played, the assault began...

"No...maybe...did it ever occur to you that I might have wanted to see you?" Kim was hurt by this. Astor was still her best friend in the whole wide world...and he decides to treat her like this because she's with someone else for a couple of days? "Whatever..." Kira came and got her next. Violins started up...and she sung in such a high and beautiful voice. Kim was infatuated by her again. The lyrics she sang were amazing....despite their tone. The other soldiers seemed very interested of the song also. Kim stared in awe. This was amazing. Eventually the song came to a close. And Kim looked at Kira right in the eyes. "That...was amazing! I can't believe..." Suddenly the alarm rang. And all the soldiers looked around confused for a moment...then realized...they were under attack. It's a good thing they had guards, or they would have less time to react. Trained like fire fighters, they could be suited up and ready to go in about sixty seconds. During the time it would take for them, this base only had a few defenses right now. The batteries, the sniper team, a Pitbull, two Mammoths and two Firehawks. The soldiers ran for their armories to get suited up, even though Kim brought her launcher, she needed to put her armor on. The gate was sealed tightly, and the batteries outside began to fire. The true strength of the sonic turret was shown, as this battery let out it's massive sonic wave, which tore right through several Scorpions and crippled an Avatar to the point where it was useless. The two firehawks got into squadron formation, as they turned their guns on the running infantry, which were mowed down effortlessly by the machine guns. The snipers were doing their best to hit off exposed drivers, especially on bikes and buggies. Despite the heavy losses already, Nod continued to press on...and overwhelmed the turrets. All outside guns were destroyed, Nod having lost many heavy units, but really all that guarded the gate now were the snipers. The Firehawks came back for a second swoop, and unloaded their missile layout into the backs off two Avatars. The armor being weaker here, the explosion reached the pilots, and they were killed, the two husks crashing down on the militants below. LEGION underestimated the defenses, and ordered them to fall back. It seemed that GDI had won. But...LEGION was far from finished. A fleet of Carryalls were coming to drop off Beams Cannons...and were accompanied by a squad of Vertigos. When the Gate was gone, the main attackers wouldn't be such sitting ducks. GDIs forces had long been ready behind the gate. Kira's distraction might not have seemed to have done much damage, but it did allow Nod to have the front of the base free of batteries. Felicia was swearing and cursing to herself in the command post. "How could I have been so stupid. Of course Nod was going to attack...errgh!" "Ma'am!" A soldier came in. "Nod is retreating!" "For good? Are you watching?" "They've pulled back from sight...the aircraft are re-fueling but they'll scout the area ahead." "How much did they lose?" "A pretty good amount. We took out alot of their heavy vehicles...They're down to a few mechs and tanks. They brought some Venoms who tried to fly over, but they were taken care of rather quickly. " "I want the engineers working the power grid. In case of power failure, tell them to shut off power to any structure not necessary in order to keep the turrets running! I refuse to let my outpost fall!" "Yes ma'am!" And he was off. Kim was worried...mainly because it seemed Kira had vanished. Funny how she always vanished during Nod attacks. Maybe she knew of another secret hiding spot. She needed to find Astor...this should be a fight they do together.

Kira leaned forward on the podium as the explosions and sounds were heard outside the walls. The soldiers all seemed to get moving to prepare but Kira still stood there. Astor noticed this and ran up to her. "Kira, come on! I need to get you to the plants!" He shouted over the firing. "They're not my plants." Astor cocked an eyebrow. "Come on, hurry!" She shook her head and pushed herself off the podium. "You are very dense today. I'm not part of GDI." She said bluntly, her eyes emotionless. His mouth nearly dropped and he backed away. "You.. It was you." She nodded and withdrew her handgun to point straight at him. "I'm the Nod Commando. Kira Loretta, loyal child of Kane." She couldn't hold it, a tear ran down the right side of her face. "You should go and get ready..." She lowered her gun and turned on the Lazarus. Astor ran for the barracks, his mind still wrapped around the surprise. He got to his equipment and strapped it on. He stood and wondered if he should find Kim until he shook his head, he could never leave her like that, she's like a sister. He ran out of the barracks where the infantry were assembling, he saw the lone archer looking around, he ran to her. "That bitch!" Astor shouted when he got close. "It was all Kira! IT WAS ALL HER!" Kim looked stupefied. "She's a Nod Commando! She's been playing us ever since the first attack. She did this to catch us off guard! I bet she was surprised to see we weren't falling so easily!" His face was enraged, if he saw her during this battle he would take the pleasure of killing her. She separated him from his best friend and killed friends then lied in their face, taking sympathy for her hard times. "She's a monster!" He growled.

"She did...Oh my god..." Kim wasn't one to ever doubt Astor. If this was what he said, then it was true. "I can't believe...damn...should we tell the others to keep an eye out?" "Heads up, they're coming back!" Some one shouted. Both Orca and Firehawk squadrons were airborne, as they flew over the gate to meet the enemy. At the front were still the heavy vehicles...which were easy targets for the aircraft. They engaged quickly, wiping the Scorpions away quickly...when suddenly...there was a bright flash and a red beam of light sailed by them...then a second...and a third. "Beam Cannons! Shit! They're going to breach the gate. We need to find them!" During this, Kim and Astor went outside...and she held onto him as she watched the explosions make themselves known on the other side. "I'm so sorry...I should have...just...errgh! I can't believe she was able to trick us all!" The Beam Cannons were doing serious damage to the gate...and there were only three. Finding them was no challenge really...but it just seemed to easy. Two Orcas easily disposed of two of them...while a Firehawk dropped it's bomb on the third one, nearly vaporizing it. Some commanders would think this a loss...but Not LEGION. LEGION's true purpose for the Beam Cannons were not siege...he just needed to keep GDI's aircraft occupied...for the true gate crashers. Out of seemingly nowhere, the four Vertigos appeared and dropped their bombs on the gate...which came crashing down. The first thing Nod met were two Mammoths just waiting to shred them. These two Mammoths were the only two in the base with the rail gun upgrade, and they rolled out towards the enemy forces, crushing whatever dared stayed in the advancing tanks way. The Mammoths truly had nothing to fear at this point...and were followed by the remaining two, and a few Predators. One of the Mammoths fired it's rail gun at the cockpit of an Avatar, which killed the pilot instantly. Militants ran in behind the tank, blazing their old chain guns. Several bullets hit Kim, and Astor too most likely, bu the composite armor was strong enough to keep the bullets from puncturing...although it did hurt a bit. Kim raised the launcher. In missile squad, you're taught to follow three rules; use your sights, keep it calm, and send them over! Kim aimed her launcher into the center of an approaching militant squad. "Firing!" She shouted, and the rocket left, crashing into it's target, sending militants flying everywhere. "Get out of here, you fanatic scum!" You shouted to them. The battling of the vehicles continued outside, while the infantry snuck behind them still. "More are coming..." Kim said, and turned to Astor. "See if you can set up some sandbags."

Astor followed Kim out. It took a few but shapes appeared in the sky and the wall crumbled. It seemed that GDI had a good advantage this time. The militants ran in and Astor helped keep them at bay best he could until Kim asked him to set up a barricade. He nodded and began his work, a few riflemen came by to help, before they could finish one of the riflemen let out a cry, then the other.

Kira stood up on the podium. She watched and watched as the battle took place. Once the walls crumbled there was a plan that one of the militants would be carrying her gone and would toss it. Could she bring herself to kill these people she had just enlightened? The wall crumbled and militants rushed, she saw an object flying through air until the large pistol hit the dirt. She moved for it and the pistol vanished as it touched her skin. She saw Astor and Kim amongst the fighting, they seemed to be mowing down militants. She walked a little off to the side, her gun at her side. She paced a little until she came to a decision. She looked towards Astor and Kim and saw them begin to build a barricade. When two others joined them, Kira switched off the Lazarus. She raised the pistol and fired twice. They weren't kill shots, the bullets hit the legs of both riflemen, going through the composite armor like nothing. Kira disappeared again. The more she wounds the more possible survivors will come out of it. She switched off the Lazarus again and fired at another soldier and he went down. A bullet nearly grazed her, seems she's noticed. She wouldn't attack again until the heat was off her.
