For Love and Life

"Fire base bravo, this is red 3, we're coming in fast with gargoyles on our 6"
"We read you red 3, we are sending out a force to meet you about 5 miles outside of the gates.  
How bad of shape are you guys in?"
"Not good, sir, my Jager is almost gone, and my wingman is only a fraction better than I am."
"What about the other three guys that went out with you?"
"All dead sir, we were ambushed about 100 miles due south of our present location by a large 
force of gargoyles and power armored gurgoyles.  We fought as long as we could before the 
Colonel ordered us to retreat back here.  Unfortunately, he died about 5 miles back down the 
road when a gargoyle breached his faceplate."
"Read you on that, when you meet up with the reinforcements, hit the gargoyles as hard as you 
can and then fall back to the base and report to the general's office immediately."
"Affirmative, sir, I have a score or two to settle with these guys, then I will be back there as 
ordered."

"Red four, we should be coming up on the reinforcements pretty quickly, once we can see them, turn around and let our winged pursuers eat some rail gun ammo." "Yes sir, my infrared scanners are picking up a force about a mile in front of us." "Ok, they just started showing up on my scopes to. How many missiles do you have left?" "Six total sir, two plasma and 4 armor piercing" "Ok, watch your shots with those, try to conserve your ammo, this fight could last longer than either of us wants it to." "Affirmative, sir, the gurgoyles are closing on us fast. Only 1.5 miles out now." "Ok, let's just hope that we meet up with the reinforcements before our pursuers meet up with us." "Amen to that, sir."
"Ok, red four, just got a radio in from out reinforcements, they are just cresting the ridge to our north. Should be able to engage the gargoyles from there with ease. Time to take the fight to the stone monsters. Hit the closest ones first, but save those missiles for the power armor." "Read you sir, turning now." "Engage at will from here on out. Good luck corporal." "Thanks, sir, we may just need all the luck we can get."
"Come here you gurgoyle let me scramble some of that pea sized brain of yours. Ah, there you go. Bzzzzt. Got you, you bastard" "Watch your six sir, they are trying to circle around to cut us off from the reinforcements." "Read you son, as soon as I take out this power armor here, I will cover your retreat." "But, sir, that would leave you here by yourself with the majority of the gargoyle line." "Won't be by myself many gargoyles when I am finished, now go, that is an order." "Affirmative, sir, heading back to the hill. At least it looks like the reinforcements have taken down a few of the gurgoyles themselves." "Yes, fall back to the other side of the hill, I will be there in about five minutes. I see the gargoyle that took out the colonel, and I am going to return the favor." "Ok, sir, will do, see you in five then."
"Ok, you big ball of stone, come here, you're mine. Just you and me for now." "Foul human, I will take your fight, and I will take your life." "Don't bet on it I have quite a fight left in me." "Be as you will, human, I will enjoy tearing you limb from limb." "And I will revel in your armies defeat gargoyle. . Take some of that overgrown boulder." "Fiesty human, I shall enjoy this fight almost as much as I enjoyed taking out you cowardly commander. This might even be worth my trouble if you were in better condition." "Don't let my condition fool you. I can take down 3 of you in even worse shape than this." "A bold endeavor indeed, but you shall not last a minute longer. Let the fight commence." "... Damn, have to get him into point blank range to where I can get him with this only last missile salvo. After that...Damn, those gargoyle lasers, can really tear up armor. "Lucky shot gargoyle, there shall be no more of those. Bzzzzt." "You can't possibly believe that you can take me out with that little rail gun, can you? You will have to do better than that." "Just come a little closer, and I will show you exactly what I can do with this rifle." "I will give you one more chance ot return home as a coward. If you decline, I will send you home in pieces. "Once again, I must decline your offer. Let the best MAN win."
....The triax Jager surges back from the impact of four gargoyle mini-missiles, but the pilot manages to keep his armor on its feet and fights back with his own volley of mini-missiles which impact along the robot's sensor array almost completely destroying the head. Just as the missiles impact upon the gargoyles armor, he releases another savage assault with his main body ion cannon, however, the jager lunges out of the canon's path. Heinrich engages his last volley of missiles at the still exposed missile launcher of his opponents torso. The missiles impact upon the exposed launch detonating the unfired missiles and destroying the gargoyle crew on board. After seeing their commander die at the hands of the NGR pilot, the remaining gargoyles and gurgoyles rush the remaining army vehicles in a vain attempt to destroy the remaining troops before they can retreat back to the safety of their walled base. The NGR soldiers fight a delaying tactic as they fight their way back to the base where the are supported by the base bunkers and other anti gargoyle vehicles. All tolled, the cost of the battle were high for the gargoyles. Losing 150 combine troops from the ranks of gargoyles, gurgoyles, and gargoylites. The NGR division suffered light casualties, losing only 3 men; however, the toll of the battle was not one of joy for Captain Heinrich, for he received news that no man should ever have to bear........
