Before this story starts, I’d like you all to realise that I want to encourage Sniper to take a proper part in this one so no killing him or hurting him in anyway! Anyone who does so will take his usual part of dying. And if I’ve left you out it’ll probably be because I’m not sure which platform you prefer to be associated with or I just forgot about you :-). If I’ve left you out then write yourself in.
The five of them stood on the hill, all in their red Nintendo uniforms. They were squad Dan of the Gamecube section of the Nintendo armed forces. Dan uk, the captain had the usual gear. A silenced pistol, a pack sniper rifle, a set of grenades and various other gadgets that would come in handy. Darkness, the scout had his tracker as well as his custom camoflage uniform and a range of silenced pistols, knives and explosives for quick stealth attacks. Grix the communicator and best-informed member of the team had various communication gear as well as the usual sniper rifle, and silenced machine gun. Sniper had his Sniper rifle ready. He also had a machine gun too but rarely used it. The final member was Meka Dragon with his flamethrower as well as the usual machine gun and sniper rifle. As you could see, ninty’s style was to use light but tactically effective weaponry.
“Where are they now?” Dan turned to Darkness. Darkness with his gadget in one hand, pointed with the other hand. The squad dropped to the floor and pulled out binoculars. There they were. The infamous Ant, Wookie and 13 other SS men. Sony Stormtroopers. With them there was a final figure, a special agent or something. As he got closer the face became clear.
“Dan2K1” Darkness pointed “I thought he was one of us”
“So we thought,” replied Grix ”but it turned out that he was a spy from Sega. After the Sega organisation was crushed, he must’ve joined Sony to survive.”
“So that’s another then” Said Dan, the ninty Dan uk that was, “We’ll be taking him and the other two captive. That’s our mission objective. All the rest of them are expendable”
Dan looked down at the SS squad to figure out a plan. Most of them had the standard automatic rifle. There were also 2 snipers and one was carrying a bulky rocket launcher. Ant and Wookie had automatic handguns with a chainsaw in the other hand. Dan2k1 had looked unarmed but the Ninty squad new better. He clearly had a several ninja weapons concealed – the traditional Sega arms.
“Okay Sniper, I want you to hit Dan2K1 with a tranquilliser. We’ll need him out cold. I’ll give you the signal when but you have to hit him first time” Dan uk knew he could trust Sniper to do this.
“Darkness, you can see that they’re heading down that path. It turns a corner round the mountain there. I want you to lay explosives around that area to take out the 13 troops. I’ll give you the signal to detonate once Dan2k1 is down”
Darkness nodded. Dan knew that there’d be no problems there.
“Grix, you and Meka go down and hide in the trees. Grix, as the explosives go, I want you to disable Ant and Wookie using the electrical charger. Meka, you’ve got to use the flamethrower to take out any surviving SS troops.” They nodded and went to take their positions.
“I’ll stay up here with Sniper to check nothing goes wrong.”
They all moved into position. Dan followed Sniper as he looked for the best view of the valley below. Darkness quickly got to work, putting explosives under the path.
Ant and Wookie led the squad around the corner. Just as the 2 leaders were parallel with the tree’s with their men a few paces behind, Dan2K1 (who was trailing behind the pack) collapsed. The squad stopped instantly, their guns pressed to their chests and alert. Before they realised what was happening, the ground below the blew. Grix and Meka jumped out of the trees and aimed their weapons at the floored Wookie and Ant who had dived from the blast. They dropped their weapons and got up slowly. The rest of the squad was dead.
Dan uk and Sniper came down the hill. By the time they reached the bottom, Darkness had stripped and unconscious Dan2K1 of his ninja weapons with Ant and Wookie held at gunpoint. Dan uk grinned. The plan had worked perfectly. Now 2 of the most infamous agents from Sony had been captured. Now they had to take them back to base.

It was dark when they reached green devils valley. It was a forest between 2 mountains making it look like green hair with 2 horns on either side hence the name. They travelled a mile into the forest before setting camp. There were some dangerous animals but none as dangerous as a squad of Sony Stormtroopers. The SS men tended to avoid forests as it left them at a disadvantage. The 3 captives were drugged to stop them attempting an escape. Dan uk dropped to sleep.
He was woken up by Grix.
“We’ve got company” he muttered grimly. “There seem to be some on each mountain. Darkness and Sniper have gone to investigate. They should be back in 10 minutes.”
The captives lay asleep. Dan uk was calm. Sony Stormtroopers wouldn’t be able to get them in here. It would take them too long to get to this position and by then the ninty squad could be out of the forest. The 3 were woken by a series of loud explosions. Dan uk cursed. His foe had given its signature and it really wasn’t what he wanted to have. The SS men would’ve been no problem but this was a different problem altogether! Ant grinned.
“So it looks like we won’t be visiting ninty ville after all”
“Possibly not but it doesn’t make your situation any better! I’ve never known the average SS squad to do heavy bombardments like this!“
Ant caught on. “No!”
“Oh yes! We’ve been surrounded by Bills!”
Bills were the term used for soldiers from the MS empire. The PC infantry, and more recently the deadly Xbox faction. The PC infantry were numerous and had great training facilities like the Quake and Doom arenas. They used the usual set of machine guns and rifles but when it got down to it, they liked nothing more than big heavy guns. Only they would be bombarding the forest like this. The Xbox faction was made up of elite soldiers of every type. Ex Sony members who had lost faith in the Sony Empire with the botched up Playstation 2 plan, many of the greatest Sega ninja’s who went to Microsoft when Sega was destroyed, the elitist soldiers from the PC infantry and even some Ex nintys who had left for some reason or other. If they were lucky, there’d only be members of the infantry on those mountains. Darkness returned.
“There’s about 500 MS infantry on the right hill. They’re all armed with the usual big weapons. They must know who we are and what our mission is otherwise they wouldn’t have brought so many men.”
Dan uk cursed. There was no doubt that there would be an Xbox squad somewhere. His suspicions were confirmed by a returning Sniper who had found on the left hill, about 300 MS infantrymen lead by the General Darth Sheepy. What’s more, the infamous Fantasy Meister had been spotted – the leader of one of the most lethal Xbox squads around.
Dan knew what they were going to do. The Xbox troopers were going to spread around the forest. Some would just plough through anything with flamethrowers and explosives. Others would be setting traps and devices to detect if the nintys went that way. Ninja’s would be impossible to spot until it was too late. And no matter who found them, one quick message back to Sheepy would have the entire squad of nintys and their captives vaporised in an instant.
Dan uk sighed. Now their troubles REALLY began!

And he popped it again, hoping for a reply this time...
Sniper was sitting in the bunker with the rest. The had sealed off all doors to this room so they were safe for now.
Grix and Dan uk were preparing to contact Nintendo HQ.
Ant and Wookie pleaded with Meka and Darkness to take off their handcuffs. PB and Dan2K1 were still nattering away about the good old days at Sega.
Sniper sat alone in the corner. He had shot Darth Sheepy, a feared general in the MS ranks. There was only one thing he did better than Sniping - popping this topic :-)

Dan uk looked behind him to see that Dan2K1 had rejoined the gang.
"Come back to your captives?"
"Better than facing the Xbox squad alone in the forest, so I thought until we went up that hill in the face of MS fire! I can't believe that none of us got hit!"
The Ninty captain grinned. "Believe it. I knew that none of those Bill's would hit us. I had Sniper take out Darth Sheepy on the other hill. One shot to the head took him down. With FM and the Xbox squad in the forest the Bills had no one to keep them in order. We charged out of the forest firing huge guns they didn't know we had. Most of them don't even know that we're here. We just have to get into that bunker now."
Dan uk signalled a halt and they entire lot fell to the ground. He looked at his watch.
"3, 2, 1..."
There came an explosion. Darkness had done his job.
"That's the P4 gun blown up. Now we need to wait for the bunker door to open and then we can charge our way in. Meka, stand by the door with the flame thrower."
The team hailed fire at the bunker causing the remaining Bills to dive for cover. Meka used the break to get to the door. The door slide open and Meka sent a huge flame through it. The rest of them ran over to the bunker, one at a time while being covered by fire from others.
Grix took a log with him which he used to jam the door open. Once everyone was in, they all crammed into the doorway except PB and Dan2K1 who sat in the corner, chatting about the good old days in the organisation of Sega.
Ant and Wookie lay down with their weapons firing. Sniper and Meka sat on the firing too. Dan uk and Grix rested their guns on Sniper and Meka's shoulders. With 6 weapons firing through such a smaller doorway, the Bills were mowed down like grass.
A device on Dan's belt started beeping.
"Everyone into the bunker!" He ordered.
The moment they cleared the doorway, Darkness swung in out of nowhere and kicked Grix's log out of the way. The door closed. They were now in the bunker.
---------------------------------
Darth Sheepy stood up, the dent in his processor in his forehead. Something had knocked him unconsious. These IBM upgrades really weren't reliable...
then he saw the bullet.
A Ninty had shot him. They were going to pay!
"Come back to your captives?"

The author cursed. Why did the most popular story thread have to be the one he hadn't read? Probably something do do with Grix scaring everyone away from the others with his cryptic plotlines. Never mind. Always more fun when you've got no restrictions....
So over the top they went, in the midst of Microsoft gunfire, keeping their heads down, and walking forwards slowly. It was good tactics, apparently.
The gunfire suddenly sopped. The group hesitated, unsure what was going on. From inside the Microsoft bunker came a series of curses, generally related to the unreliability of their equipment.
In silence, Ant and co advanced on the defenceless bunker....

Am I one of the nameless ones!
Grix put the last piece of the puzzle in his jigsaw.
"Right, NOW let's go kick some Microsoft bottom."
Ant stared at Grix... they always had to make sure HE was ready... right git, he was.
"Come on, let's get this over with, we've got to go get that bloody sword as well."
"What?" Dan asked... oblivious to the fact there was another story going on...
"Oh... err... nothing..."
Dan, Ant, Grix and Sniper lay on the hill... there were others as well, but shall remain nameless until they are written in.
"You know, the only reason Sniper is popping this story is because he can't get killed in it." Grix said...
Ant loaded his gun. "We'll see about that."
Sniper stared at Ant.
"Are we going to get going then?" Meka asked, lying on the bank as well.
"Yeah," Pb added. "I'm getting bored."
"I think we should wait until it's more dramatic yet..." Wookiee Monster said. "Lets wait for the gunfire."
"Wouldn't it be a tiny bit more safe if we ran while they WEREN'T firing?" Ssxpro asked.
"Yeah..." Dan2K1 said, "But it wouldn't be much of a story then, would it?"
And then, gunfire started raining down on the field.
"Our cue gentlemen, good luck, and may the force be with you."
Everyone went over the top... except Sniper and Ant. Sniper tried to run back into the bunker, and Ant caught him, and forced him onto the field...
"Right, NOW let's go kick some Microsoft bottom."
Ant stared at Grix... they always had to make sure HE was ready... right git, he was.

Ant grinned at Dan_UK, and asked, "Hey, can I use that Plasma Launcher?"
"Well....I suppose...."
"Thanks!" Ant said excitedly, "You know, you Nintys aren't all that bad, I suppose. Perhaps we misundersood you."
Grix studied Ant closely, not sure whether to believe him. Ant looked and sounded sincere.
Grix decided to leave it for a while, and concentrate on the important mission in front of him.
Ant and Dan_UK went to the front of the group, as they held the biggest weapons.
The rest of the group followed behind with an assortment of handguns, assault rifles, shotguns and even some grenades.
Dan_UK turned to the group, put on his toughman face, and said, "lets go kick some Microsoft butt."

LOL!
Darkness was on the hill. He had waited under this rock for ages. How long could those Bill's hold their bladder for?
He was waiting for the next one to go and relieve himself so he could shoot the unlucky man with a tranquiliser and steal the MS uniform.
He had already gotten one uniform but it was way too big for him. Why were so many PC owners so fat? :-)
