*Setting: The Reptilian decoys were working as planned. The Orkhid infantry was moving forth, firing upon anything that moved and being carefully lead away from the cavern. Upto now there had been no casualties and due to the races arrogance they believed that this was due to their skill and plan of action. Large Jeeps and UV's glided overhead, quickly making their way to ground in which they could land and disperse more Soldiers. Some of the troops hung out of the UV's, as they glided overhead, and took aim at the Reptilians from above, firing mecilessly. Two of the lead Soldiers in the Forest pushed their way through the foilage. Their guns equipped with lasersight and torches they quickly scanned the large area, searching for hostiles. Hearing a chirp one spun to his right, the torch beamed out brightly, lighting up even the darkest of areas. His pale pink lips slowly turned into that of a smile. His light was trained upon a 5 week old Reptilian. It was hiding fearfully underneathe a mass of leaves and twigs. Slowly he stepped forwards, branches and dry foilage cracking and crunching underfoot. The lasersight beamed out and hit the beings neck. He crouched to steady his rifle.
*Rapid gunshots*
He turned to see his partner firing into the shrubs at the side of him. He smirked, knowing the Reptilians would never survive this onslaught of Soldiers. Turning back he prepared to finish the job, but now there was an obstacle in the way, in the form of a Reptilian male. A quick swipe of its left paw and the Soldiers gun was severed in the middle. He fell backwards and started to scramble towards his partner, he shouted, trying to get his voice above the sound of gunfire that was being emitted from all around the woodland...*

*Setting: Injin sped through the forest, Orkhids were penetrating the woodland from every direction. Their guns seemingly spewing bullets into the direction of anything that moved. He leapt around wildly, trying to avoid the projectiles the best he could. Seeing a thick-barked tree with potential cover he made his way up, digging his claws into the bark and crawling up verticly. He looked down, Orkhids were running around now, stopping from time to time to fire in the opposite direction. Injin growled, he carefully manovered himself onto a branch and then stepped across it. He then leapt to another branch, and then another. Quickly making his way through the forest. Transport vehicles hovered overhead, making the Reptilian aware of potential attacks from above aswell as below. Leaping to the trunk of another tree he clasped the bark and carefully shimmied his way around it. Stopping when he smelt something weird. He breathed in through his nostrils and tried to remember the scent that he was inhaling. He looked down and around and as his eyes settled on a young Reptilian he remembered. It was the smell of a Hatchery. A nesting ground. It brought vivid memories of his childhood back to him, of the time he ran away and how his family chased him down. He growled lowly and his thoughts quickly cleared with the help of more gunfire. He then looked at the young Reptilian once more. It wasn't that old, 5-6 weeks at the most. A beam of light landed on it, making it clearer to see. Injin looked at it, his heart pounding as he prayed for the light to be from something else and not an Orkhid Soldier. It wasn't. The troop moved forwards steadily, oblivious to the Reptilian whom was watching from the tree above. He flicked on his lasersight and carefully crouched down. Looking around the observer tried to see if its parents or Hatchery-Guards were anywhere near...they weren't. This struck the beast as weird, Reptilians are very protective of their young and would thus fight to the death to protect them. This even applied to Injin, his paternal instinct was starting to kick in and as the gunfire of another collegue distracted the Orkhid, he jumped down. Landing almost quietly on the soft ground. The troop turned to face the young Reptile once more, yet this time saw Injin. He growled, swiping at the gun and cutting it in the middle. The troop fell back stunned and began to scrabble backwards to his partner, hoping to get help. He shouted and turned his head upwards to his friend. The second Orkhid turned and looked at the first. They conversed over the gunfire and then the first turned back to were Injin was. Nothing. The Reptilian adult had gone, along with the child.*

Melik: "Well, sire? Haaas the plaaan succeeded??"

Obitus' closed eyes opened slowly. He snorted. Sat on his rock throne with Melik balancing on an uneven rock to his right he had watched Injin and what he had done. The God shook his head slowly, his claws dug into the rock armrests with pure frustration.

Melik: "I-Im sure he will do, som...AHHGGRRRR!!"

Obitus quickly raised the back of his right claw and hit Melik in the chest, sending him sailing through the air and hitting the cold, hard ground of the cavern. The Reptilian slowly picked himself up and then bowed down to the God.

Melik: "Very well, m'lord."
