Mission to Rhoake Ruins: Part II

The ride to Rhoake Ruins was long and aggravating, at least to Draco. He heard nothing from King and The Major, but silence isn't always good. On the other hand Rain was having a colorful talk with Josre who felt that Rain only came along because she wanted to be noticed, because females were just allowed back into the COG and they had to prove themselves worthy to stay. She felt that Jorse was letting out sexist remarks about how weak and insecure women were so she indulged in the childish behavior as well until Draco yelled that's enough to quiet the duo, and give everyone some peace. While still on route the team noticed Locust activity, nothing big just them attempting to set a trap later for gears to get ambushed in. The Major radioed in to control and asked permission to dispatch the threat, control ed gave full clearance. So with that a battle ensued.
The KR was instructed by Major Brown to land them in a sand hill overshadowing the trap, the squad hopped out off the helicopter and continued closer on foot. After being within medium range behind the Locust, they were told to open fire. Few Locust maybe three were killed instantly, the other nineteen swarmed behind pillars. The squad wanted to drop at least twelve before advancing and that they did. Major Brown motioned for Draco and his son King to follow his lead, and told Rain and the others to cover their back. With suppressive fire behind them they ran for the next available pieces of cover. Draco could the enemies that were left. There were three Drones, two Grenadiers, a Boomer and a Theron Guard. When Draco noticed the Theron he immediately opened fired on it unloading a full clip when it was dead a half a clip ago. Major watched as the husk fell to the sand, then turned and stared at Draco until a stray bullet flew across his balding head, thinking "Six more to go". Jorse shot the heads off the two grenadiers who simultaneously tried to throw bolo grenades at the group. The drones fell to King and Major Brown's twin firepower. And all that was left was the Boomer, a big, husky creature that yelled "BOOM" every time it begun to shot its boom shot gun, unleashing a rocket propelled grenade attempting to destroy its prey. Rain saw this as her chance to prove herself, secretly asking Lance for cover fire, rushed out to the battlefield allowing the Boomer to waste his shot on a swift target, after dodging the blast she unpinned her grenade stuck it onto the dumb hulk's backside and glorifly swam ed in its remains. Staring at the blank expressions on her comrades faces she felt alive, but then looked at the Major's sour expression and expected a proper yelling back on the KR.
She was right after the Major signaled on the com-link to aware the pilot that their off-route adventure was completed, he gave her a swift proverbial boot to her gut, but verbally. After a brief lecture, clean-up, and extraction of the Locust armor and weapons the gang boarded the chopper and continued on their original mission. Each thinking on what was going to happen next at the outpost at Rhoake Ruins, it wasn't called Ruins for nothing. After all it is a heavily guarded stronghold of the Locust Horde and they aren't just going to give it up without a hard and long fight. Draco knew this to well and he did what he did best he became the leader everyone needed to hear from in a justified speech, even the Major marveled at his encouraging words. And he showed his appreciation with the revving of his Lancer chainsaw bayonet. Saying "Lets give them hell fellas.''
