War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 18War for MobiusChapter 18They found Ben slumped in an old office chair in the communications tower. There was a nasty gash in his shoulder. He was lucky to survive whatever he had encountered.In his hand, he held a very large ax. It had taken Johnny quite some time to pry his fingers off it.Currently Fiona works quickly to bandage up the wound.“Same shoulder,” she grumbles, “Every single time you get hurt, Ben, it is the same shoulder.”“Is going to be alright then?” Bunnie asks.“I can’t make any promises,” the red fox answers, “I just don’t have the proper equipment on hand to fix him up now. All I can do is bandage him up to avoid bleeding and infection until we leave this dump.”“Do what you can,” Rotor replies.“What do you think I’m doing?” she snaps back, “And even that might not be enough.”The walrus turns away, doing his best to not let

You heard it here first -- Jim Raynor, terrorizing the locals on Mar Sara. When we return, are your kids using stim-packs?The Squad wasn’t as sizable as Raynor would have liked, but he had to manage with what he had. He was unsure if the Dominion was going to react to recently freed people of Backwater Station, and felt it was just flat out stupid to leave them without any support. This left Fraser and a large portion of his squad behind. Koiter was also left behind, because with the kid’s hangover, Raynor was pretty sure it would end up being the kid’s last fight if he went with them.With the smaller amount in the squad, each Marine was all the less expendable. As such, Raynor brought three Medics along to keep his people fighti

They never did.”Sonic rubs his finger under his nose, “How about the other five?”“Six,” the princess corrects.“Sure,” the hedgehog shrugs it off, “Other Six.”“Robotnik has them,” Knuckles admits.“What!?” both Sonic and Sally respond with at shout.

The campsite itself has been set up in front of the large wreck of metal and machine that had torn up much of the landscape when it dropped from the sky. There wasn’t much to the camp. Some tarps used for bedding and blankets that was likely originally intended to be camouflage for the traveler’s vehicle, and small campfire with a circular wall of small stones gathered around it, and a few tripwires connected to shrapnel from the wreck set up as makeshift to act as an alarm or warning system.Simple, yet effective….if they were dealing with anyone else.No, thinks the mobian nearby, hiding in the shadows just out of sight, this set up was too easy.The figures hadn’t moved since he first moved in, likely indicating they were dummies, decoys. The location of the campsite was also foolish. This would be the first place people would

Empty glasses and bottles were strung about, some on the floor and some on the tables. There was a young kid, probably a local barely old enough to drink, passed out at one table. At another table, two mechanically inclined “gentlemen” were “discussing” which of their “babies” would win in a fight. The strength of their “babies” ranged from killing hundreds of Zerg by themselves, to weight lifting Battlecruisers. There.A dark haired man with a recently emptied glass of what looked like Scotty Bolger's Old No. 8 Whiskey, just popped a coin into the Jukebox. The man fumbled through the songs until he selected one, brushed a fly from his face, and returned to his seat at the bar, just as the
StarCraft On Liberty's Wings Chapter 002StarCraftOn Liberty’s WingsChapter TwoBackwater Station. Backwater Station had been the turning point for both the ex-Marshal and ex-Magistrate of Mar Sara. According to the stories, Marshal Raynor and the a Squad of Mar Sara Militia Marines and Firebats had made their way to the station, fighting off the dreaded Zerg off at every corner, to save the folks at Backwater Station after they sent out a request for help. However when they got there they burned the base down instead. The Dominion Claimed this was Raynor’s first act of open rebellion against the Confederacy, and one of the reasons why he had been considered an Ally of the Sons of Korhal. However, Mar Sara never really liked the Dominion, as they had always loved their local Marshal. They knew the truth, even if they had been forbidden to say it. Raynor and his Militia had burned the station because it had become infested by the Zerg. Mike Liberty managed to eve
War for Mobius Act 1 Chapter 15War for MobiusChapter 15A young Sally Acorn sits on the balcony of Castle Acorn looking over the City of Mobotropolis. She rubs the bruise she received on her cheek for the scuffle she had been a part of earlier that day. The “Battle Wound” stung, but not nearly as bad as the wounds to the young princess’s pride.“I thought I might find you out here,” a familiar voice calls from behind her. She turns to see her father strolling up. Rather than his fancy cloak or his proud military uniform, he had retired to his evening robes. He chews on the end of a pipe he had received from his father as a gift. The King rarely lit the thing but chewing on it seemed to bring back fond memories.The Princess turns away quickly, “I suppose you heard what happened…..”“That I did”“…are you here to scold me?”The King gently lays a hand on her shoulder, “I believe no amount of scoldi
