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!

Pop...
Sniper sat in the tree. His job was to shoot Darth Sheepy. This would cause a lot of comotion on both hills. An Xbox Ninja (presumable EX Sega) appeared out of nowhere with a large sword. Sniper jumped out of the tree. The Ninja followed. The Ninja swung it's sword and Sniper blocked it with his sniper rifle.
They fought like this, Sniper getting forced back slowly. He got knowcked into a tree, trying to block the wild swinging Ninja's sword. The Ninja kicked his ankles and Sniper fell to the floor. The Ninja raised the sword over his head ready to deal the final blow. Sniper shot him. The Ninja fell dead.
"Stupid Ninja," muttered Sniper "Bringing a sword to a gunfight. No wonder the Sega organisation got wiped out."
And with that he hid the dead body under some leaves after stealing the Ninja's food rations and climbed back up the tree, waiting for the signal.

I'll find a way of putting you in :-)
A Ninty Dreamcast Maniac (it's in your Tag!)
Grix studied the weapons. Indeed they were impressive.
Darkness was more impressed with how PB managed to get past the MS guns.
"It was simple. They were all preparing for the Nintendo squad. I had also intercepted your signal and decided to use the diversion."
Dan spoke up "So we have some decent firepower but it's not going to be enough to take out that entire army. Sheepy and FM have planned this ambush carefully and countered our every move."
He looked to PB
"Neither side expected you to be alive let alone arm us but they'll know that you're here now. We have another communications unit but we can't afford to have this one destroyed."
He looked round. He'd hoped that it wouldn't come to this but he had little choice left.
"For now we'll forget our differences and work as one. Our objectives have changed too. Ant and Wookie were important prisoners but with this new development of events, it seems that this P4 gun is now our number one priority. Our new mission objective is to take out this gun!"
Ant looked at him "And with over 500 Bills on that hill guarding it, how do you suppose we go about it?"
Dan grinned "I wouldn't have considered it before"
He picked up a rocket launcher.
"But now we have the firepower!"

The Gameboy fleet sailed into view and Grix and the others watched as FM shouted to his Xbox faction and they pulled a massive gun from it's camoflage surroundings.
"Damn!" said Grix, "It's the P4 gun..."
"But I thought that was only a myth?" asked Ant, worried at what this mythical gun was rumoured of being able to do.
"Call off the attack.." Grix yelled into his comm, but it was too late and as a strange green glow came from the gun, the first few gameboy fighters in the squadron lost all power and gracefully sailed towards the ground before blasting into a million pieces. The others managed to escape, but there was no way to counter that kind of power...
Just then a noise made the Nintendo and Sony Stormtroopers look into the sky again. A copter with the unmistakable blue spikes and tail landed just behind them and a strange dark figure stepped out.
"Need some help?" it was pb, leader of the once strong Sega rebels.
"I thought you were dead?" said a stunned Sniper.
"Not so, but I remembered the good old days when we used to fight together, so I'm offering you some weapons that can beat the Xbox faction."
"How did you come by all this weaponary?" asked Grix, looking at the growing pile of strange and dangerous looking ammo piling up.
"After our rebel group was crushed, back in the days when your SS soldiers held power" pb looked at Ant as he spoke these words, "we decided to become gunrunners for whoever we thought deserved our help. Right now, that's you. We don't want the evil MS empire to succeed in gaining power, it would be terrible to live under such tyranny. So here we are, at your disposal."
"Damn!" said Grix, "It's the P4 gun..."

The 8 of them ran through the forest.
God knows who had seen them but someone had and now hundreds of Rockets and BFG blast's were now demolishing the forest around them.
Meka was at the front, burning down any trees that got in their way. They kept running until the explosions weren't so loud anymore.
"This is bad" said Ant, trying to catch his breath. "What plans do you have now?"
"Okay Grix" the Ninty leader puffed, "Time to call in the Gameboy forces."
Grix nodded and began setting up equiptment.
"They'll intercept any message given off and instantly blow the area up within a mile of the radio" growled Sniper.
"My plan exactly" Dan continued "Grix, set the radio to send the message after a half hour delay. It'll not only put them off the right track, it'll also give us some back up. We could really use some Gameboy squadrons right now."
They all nodded. The Gameboy squadrons were none other than Nintendo's airforce. The greatest piece of military ever, even better than the mighty Playstation Platoon.
"It'll take them a few hours to arrive but once they do we should have a chance to escape."
"The Bill's will be ready for them" warned Sniper.
"Captain Edgy will know exactly what to do and with pilots with Dringo and Game up there, the Bill's will be way too inaccurate to hit them. The GB's can out manouver almost any homing missile."
Grix had finished programming the message sending device. He handed it to Darkness who climbed up a tree and hid it.
Then all seven of them ran. That's right, only seven. Dan2K1 had disappeared...

The Bill's leader ordered an infantry man to scope out the camp below.
"I'm afraid I can't do that, sir," replied the squaddie.
"Why the hell not?"
"My IR screen doesn't have the right codec installed, sir. We can't decrypt the image."
"Damn it! Bring up the elite troops!"
"You mean..."
"Yes, the X-box faction!"
"We, err, can't utilise them yet, sir. They're not equipped for night-time fighting."
"What do you mean?"
"They need a Dedicated Vision Display to function at night."
"And?"
These are off-the-shelf military X-box units, sir. They don't come with DVD capability."
Suddenly, it became clear just why the MS troops needed to swamp their enemies with such vast numbers. The technology just wasn't working...
