Jenkins, Berry J – Part 2

Alarms started ringing in the halls. The soldiers left their training activities and assembled in the Great Hall. There were 200 soldiers in front of deputy commander Berry Jenkins. 100 soldiers had gone to Cuba to settle some disputes. This facility was more of a weapons testing and inventing area and was not made for such an attack. Still Berry knew that they could get through this attack and really would show what they could achieve. “Alright man and women of our glorious army, we right now under serious attack from an unidentified organization. We have at our disposal only 75 planes while they have 500. We have only 200 men while they have an unidentified number of soldiers, their numbers much greater than ours. They are roughly six times more superior than us. But what they lack is teamwork, courage, ability and skill. They maybe more in number, but we have the brains. I need them to be dropping like flies. The more the merrier.” Many of the soldiers thought that his speeches should go in the top ten motivational speeches of the world.”Men and women, I need 5 squadrons: Red, Blue, Golden, Silver and Green squadrons to proceed to the hangers. You will be in charge of breaking the enemies in the sky. I am counting on you. Captains Wedge, Rieeken, Antilles, Yendor and Ackbar shall be taking control of their respective squadrons. Move!” The soldiers got up and made their way to the hanger.

“Squadrons Tatooine, Couruscant, Mustafa, Sibensko and Ryloth will be taking the ground. Each group will be given  5 tanks. You can choose how many people per tank.  If you are lucky then you may also be able to control the new projects we are developing. You are to eliminate any enemy personal on the ground. Make us proud. Move!” As the officers filed out, Berry saw commander Philip and hurried to meet him. The Commander was in deep thought. “I think they are after our projects more than anything,” said Berry Jenkins. The commander, still in deep thought, nodded his head. “I will be going out on my own, if that is okay. S623 can handle stuff pretty well and since I am in my own jet I have access to everything.” The commander just nodded his head.

Berry made his way back to his room where he suited up. His suit was pitch black and really flexible. It was completely bullet proof in case he was forced to suddenly land. After quickly programming S623 he got into his jet and the process of take off began.

Berry Jenkins’ jet was one of a kind. It was propelled by two large propellers which could turn in any direction. They helped in steering. The fuselage was made of an alloy of aluminium and iron, to give it sturdiness and for it to be light weighted. The array of weapons was beyond imagination. There were missiles, precision guns and bombs. The plane was sleek and in his favourite colour: Black. As he ascended into the air, he could feel the adrenaline pump into his blood and the familiar and sweet hum of the motors began.

The enemy planes had just started arriving. The mother ship was almost across the border. The navy however was not being able to cross the border because of yet another thing that Berry invented, called: Boom Beach. He was really good at making things but was horrible at names. This invention was very effective against naval based enemies. They looked standard beach lights along the coast, as if for decoration. However, when activated, these pretty features will just arise from the ground and become lethal missile launchers. Their administrator will lock their targets. Allowed to swivel on the grounds in a 360 degree spin, they are easily controllable and cause heavy damage.

It was 5 o’clock already and Berry could see his air force rise. Their planes did not need a runway and a momentum to drive them and take off but could land and take off while hovering, as if repulsorlift vehicles. This gave them the advantage. “Stand down troops, I want to see their first move.” The U.S. military planes began to take their positions. It was a marvellous sight. The deputy commander went around inspecting his troops. He could see that the enemy was not as organised as his battalion. And then came the whirring sound of a missile.

The war began.
