The Sanna Menace Chapter 12

Carefully advancing through the Sanna ship,Kate led the way towards the Sanna commander's quarters.She and many of her serving friends,in the Sirrun military,had done many infiltration missions,on board Sanna warships.They knew the layout of them quite well,and everyone in the group,was determined to rescue Major Robson,especially Kate and her two Sirrun female colleagues.They knew,that every young,beautiful Sirrun female,was a highly prized target.It was a well known fact,that any male,who mated with a Sirrun female,would instantly relish it.The rewards would be,a guaranteed child,who was gifted with Sirrun mental powers.This was another grim fact,that Sirrus 6 was targeted for conquest.

Kate always remembered swearing her sacred vow,that she would never let this happen.The vow also included helping people,that needed it,and right now,their first officer,Major Robson,was in dire need of it.Kate and her Sirrun females,were sensing Robson's thoughts.As they neared the Sanna commander's quarters,they all felt Robson's presence strongly.

They finally reached a corner,and Kate motioned for her friends to stop.They did,and she peered out,seeing the entrance,to where they needed to be.Kate didn't see any Sanna guards,but she wasn't fooled.She and her two Sirrun female colleagues,could sense Robson's presence very strongly,but they also sensed the presence,of the two Kavos women in there too.However,they were pleased,that they'd found their friend.All they had to do now,was rescue her.

Kate turned back,to face her three Earth friends.

'Major Robson is in there.'Kate stated.'The two women from Kavos,are in there with her.'

Both Jennings and Montgomery nodded,and checked their weapons.Hunt reached into her battle pack,and produced a flash-bang grenade.She stepped forward,ready to use it,but Kate motioned for her to stop.

'No.You must leave this to us.You have done enough.'

Before Hunt could reply,Kate then nodded to her two Sirrun friends,and all three of them,promptly disappeared from the corridor.Almost immediately,Jennings,Hunt and Montgomery,could hear the sounds of a fight,coming from inside the room.It didn't last long,as they then saw the door opening.Kate stood there,with both her swords drawn,and there was Sanna blood on the blades.

She then gave them a thumbs up,and gestured for them to come forward.The three of them did so,still keeping a sharp eye out,for any sudden,unexpected Sanna,but there was none,and they made it safely into the room.

The first thing they noticed,were the three Sanna troopers bodies,lying on the floor,with evident,and fatal cut wounds on them.Obviously,the humanoids were dead,but they could see no sign of the Kavos women.

However,they did see Major Robson,and despite her being bound and gagged,she appeared unharmed.Kate was now releasing her,from her bonds.

'Thank you.'Robson nodded to Kate,grateful to her,as she removed the gag.'I wasn't sure how you did it,but you did.'

'Very simple,Major.'Kate explained it to her.'I could read their thoughts.They were expecting the same tactics,used by our friends here.So we decided to jump them.'

'It certainly worked.'Robson would never forget the looks on those women's faces,seeing her people had achieved complete,and tactical surprise on their enemies.

'Where are they then?'Montgomery asked,seeing no female bodies present.

'They managed to escape.'Kate's voice was bitter,just as her expression was.All the Sirrun women's faces,reflected their frustration at this.'They had the same jumping ability as us.I'm afraid we don't know their present location.'

'I didn't know they had the same jump powers,as your people.'Montgomery told them.

'Neither did we.'Robson didn't know herself,until she'd seen the two do this.'Let's just hope they're not on board this ship anymore.'

Jennings also noticed the disappointment on all the Sirrun women's faces,but he then said to them.'Well,that must be good news then.If they're not on board anymore,I take it you can use your abilities back?'

The four Sirrun women glanced at each other,and realised that they didn't sense the mental blocking,from the two Kavos women.This bought some smiles to the girls.

'It is good news then.'Jennings understood their smiles,although he didn't smile himself.He was anxious to get back to the landing bay,to make sure he'd get Louise and Kelly safely out of here.

He then used his own headset radio link,and got back in touch with Kelly.

'Kelly,you and Louise okay?'Jennings asked her.He could still hear the battle raging there.

'John,where the hell are you?'Kelly's somewhat panicky voice,came instantly back at him.'Get back here,John! The programme's only got five minutes left!'

Jennings hadn't forgotten that.If he and his friends weren't off this Sanna ship within five minutes,they'd end up in some distant corner of the galaxy,without any hope of getting home.

'We're coming now.'Jennings reassured,making a sign to Kate and her friends,to get ready for another jump.'Is Louise okay?'

'Hurry up,John!'There was plenty of deafening weapons fire,but admist it all,Jennings clearly heard his sister's urgent shout.

'Don't worry,Louise.I'll be there.'His voice was determined,as Jennings then gestured urgently to Kate and his friends.They all understood,as each Sirrun woman joined hands with them all,before they all disappeared from the room.

As their pilot guided the shuttle in,Harris and O'Rourke watched the fierce battle raging,in the landing bay.The Sanna weapons systems,hadn't blown them out of the sky.This was a huge relief to them all,and the pilot made a perfect landing,making sure the craft,was well away from the fires.

Once they'd landed,everybody on board began to prepare themselves,to join the fight.Harris had ordered a small,but highly experienced squad of her men with her,and they were looking forward to this.Harris however,wasn't.She was still adamant,that this was a stupid thing to do,but if anything did go wrong,at least she'd have some serious firepower at her disposal.

Both O'Rourke and Harris scanned the bay more closely,observing the combatants.They could see Sanna troopers falling constantly,and they gazed in their opponents direction.It was then they noticed the two Sirrun women,and another woman,who were gunning down their enemies,with deadly accuracy.

As O'Rourke looked more closely at them,his face broke into a sinister smile,now seeing what he'd come for.He recognised the Finch girl,and Jennings' sister.O'Rourke couldn't wait,to have them back in his clutches.Although,he did notice the other young woman,who was fiercely protecting Kelly and Louise.She looked really tough and mean,and from the expression O'Rourke saw on her,it was quite evident she was thoroughly enjoying herself,shooting down the Sanna troopers.

Harris too,was observing the same woman,and she suddenly sensed,that she'd met this woman before.

'She looks familiar.I know her.'Harris stated,and trying to remember,but without success.

'Somebody important?'O'Rourke asked her.

'Not sure.'Harris admitted.'But I've definitely seen her before.'

O'Rourke wasn't that bothered.He'd come here,to seize those two girls,and he wasn't leaving without them.He then turned back,to the waiting squad of silent men.

'Prepare to engage.'O'Rourke instructed,and he then pointed,at Kelly and Louise's position.'Remember,I want those two women taken alive,and unharmed.Understood?'

He emphasised the last word spoken,but was pleased to see all of the men,nod back their understanding.They then waited,for the order to charge into the battle.

However,before O'Rourke could give them the order,the shuttle pilot suddenly informed Harris,of an urgent message for her.

Harris went over to him,and took the headset radio link,and she listened intently to the update.Once she'd listened to the message,Harris removed the headset,and turned quickly back to O'Rourke.

'We have to abort,O'Rourke.'Harris was serious,having just heard the news.

'What the hell are you talking about,Harris?'O'Rourke was clearly taken aback,and was just about to lose his temper,but managed to stay in control of himself.'Why? What's the problem?'

'Our man's picked up a computer feed,sent into this ship's navigation systems.'Harris informed him.'It's also being currently downloaded,into every Sanna warship here in this system.Once they activate it,they'll end up somewhere where they don't want to be,and neither do we.'

'How long?'

'He didn't say.'Harris had to concede that point,but still pressed her point.'But we can't take any chances.We have to go.Now.'

'And so we shall,Harris.'O'Rourke grinned with sexual lust dominating him.'The sooner we grab those girls,the sooner we'll leave.'

'You fool,O'Rourke!'Harris cursed him,but it was too late.Before she could stop him,O'Rourke suddenly gave the order to the squad,and they all charged out of the shuttle,finally joining the battle.

Still cursing him,Harris came out after them.She realised the Sanna,were now her enemy here,and already,the humanoids were now shooting at the new arrivals.Harris ran straight into the nearest cover,as O'Rourke did too.

He made sure he kept his eyes on his prey,and was pleased to see Louise and Kelly hadn't moved.Under covering fire by his men,he managed to get closer to them,but he was always forced to take cover.Sanna fire,was now hitting his own men,and they were falling dead.Added to this,O'Rourke didn't dare raise his head,as the young woman who was protecting Louise and Kelly,was well aware of his hiding place.

Still keeping low,O'Rourke managed to peer at them,and was stunned to see what he saw next.There was a sudden,blinding flash,as Jennings,Montgomery,and the rest of the Sirrun women,now appeared.O'Rourke gaped at this,just as the few remaining men in his group did,but instantly,they were forced back into cover once more,as the new arrivals opened fire on them,reinforcing Hunt's position.

Knowing he was pinned down for the moment,O'Rourke reached into his own battle pack,and pulled out a stun grenade,waiting for the right moment to use it.

+++

The moment Jennings and his friends reappeared back in the landing bay,they supported Hunt,by blasting back at their enemies.Hunt took cover,reloading another ammo clip into her weapon,and punched Jennings on his shoulder.

'About time you got here.'She told him quietly.'I'm running low.'

Jennings nodded back to her,returning her warm punch,on her own shoulder.He then turned to Kelly,who still had the laptop open,and was anxiously scanning the clock countdown displayed there.

'How long,Kelly?'Jennings had to shout to her,above the weapons fire.

'Two minutes,John!'There was desperation in Kelly's voice,as her eyes remained fixed,to the digital timer's countdown being displayed.

Jennings nodded,knowing it was time to move.Yet,despite heavy Sanna losses,there were still plenty of them here,and Jennings knew they wouldn't get very far,once they broke cover.

He then turned to face Kate,and told her calmly.'Kate,we're going to need your help.We can't let you use your jump ability here.They'll just cut us down.'

Kate immediately turned to face her fellow Sirrun females,and one look was exchanged between them all.The Sirrun women understood,and much to Jennings and his friends surprise,the women sprang out from their cover,launching a devastating attack.The speed in which they did so,was tremendous.All five Sirrun females used their swords expertly,efficiently cutting down any enemy,Sanna and even the few remaining survivors from O'Rourke's group,weren't spared either.

As Jennings watched,he could see the girls had cleared a path,directly to the Sanna shuttle,that was key to their escape.He knew it was now time to move,as he turned to Montgomery and Hunt,nodding the signal to go.He turned to take Louise's hand,and both brother and sister ran towards the shuttle.Montgomery held Kelly's hand,whilst Hunt covered their rear.

They had almost reached the shuttle,when suddenly,from the corner of his eye,Jennings spotted something being thrown at them.His eyes widened,recognising the outline of a stun grenade.

'Grenade!'He shouted the warning to his friends,before throwing himself on top of Louise to protect her.Montgomery did likewise,with Kelly,and Jennings just had time to hear Louise and Kelly,give out frightened screams,before a sudden blinding flash,winded them all.

Still lying on top of Louise,Jennings struggled desperately,to get his senses back into reality,but the grenade's effect,had made his recovery slow,and he was then vaguely aware,that somebody was pushing him off Louise.

+++

From his cover point,O'Rourke had watched Jennings lead his sister out,with the rest of the group following.He grinned maliciously to himself.Here was the moment he'd been waiting for,as he armed the stun grenade,and then,threw it accurately,right into the centre of their withdrawing group.

He was pleased to see them all fall down stunned,and seizing the moment,O'Rourke hurried out to where Jennings lay.An evil smile of anticipation was on O'Rourke's face,as he used his foot to push Jennings off his sister.Reaching down,he seized the still stunned girl.

As he did so,he heard Harris yelling out to him.

'O'Rourke!'Her voice was almost savage.'We have to go.Now!'

'Of course.'O'Rourke agreed.He still felt bitterly disappointed,that he didn't get the Sirrun woman,he'd held captive earlier.No matter.At least,he had another,delicious pretty hostage.'I'm sure Miss Jennings,will provide excellent compensation.Won't you,my pretty?'He chuckled into Louise's ear,and lovingly used his tongue,on her neck and face.O'Rourke couldn't wait,to get her back on board the shuttle,so he could ravish her.It was then,that he noticed the girl was beginning to come round.

Louise felt herself slowly recovering.It didn't take her long to realise,to see she was now being held by O'Rourke.Her eyes bulged in terror,feeling him lick her face.She frantically tried to break free from him,but O'Rourke chuckled again,holding her easily.

Instantly,Louise's eyes darted to her brother,who was still on all fours,struggling to come round.The effects of the grenade,still hadn't quite worn off.

'John,get up!'She practically screamed it out to him,which faintly amused O'Rourke,but the girl's cry had an instant effect.Jennings now rose slowly up,with his hard gaze on O'Rourke,holding Louise hostage.This made O'Rourke pull Louise more tightly into him,and pulling out his personal sidearm,jammed it hard,into the side of the girl's neck.He wasn't going to let Jennings,rescue his sister.This was a perfect opportunity,to finish him.

Seeing Harris still by his side,he coldly ordered her.'Kill him,Harris.'

Harris was still impatient to leave,but now that she'd seen Jennings,she now fully appreciated the chance,to finish one of her deadliest enemies.

She smirked,aiming her weapon at him,and coldly ignoring Louise's frantic.'No!'She began to squeeze the trigger.

This made Jennings tense,knowing there was nothing he could do to stop her.

Harris was just about to finally depress the trigger,when the weapon,was suddenly kicked violently out of her grip.Spinning around,with a snarl on her face,Harris was then sent reeling,with a hard punch,smashing into her mouth.She fell back,which caused O'Rourke to look away from Jennings,giving him the vital diversion he needed.

With lightning reflexes,he suddenly reached out,grabbing O'Rourke's hand,and squeezing his wrist painfully,he made the man release the weapon,before yanking her away,from a very much,surprised O'Rourke.He then smashed a hard fist,right into O'Rourke's mouth,and Jennings lashed out a savage,ruthless kick,straight into O'Rourke's manhood.O'Rourke doubled up in agony,sending the weapon flying away,before he ruthlessly kicked O'Rourke again,before he viscously gave him a hard uppercut,sending him sprawling to the ground.O'Rourke didn't move,after being hit this way.

Hunt had seen Louise being seized,and knew Jennings needed some help.She had seen her hated enemy,Harris,and with her blood like ice,she crept stealthily towards them.Her tactic worked,as she took O'Rourke and Harris,completely by surprise.She took a great deal of satisfaction,when she watched Jennings easily deal with O'Rourke,but her cold eyes were now on Harris,who was now slowly rising to face her.Instantly,Hunt pulled out her combat knife.

The punch Harris took,was the most painful she'd ever received.It had drawn blood from her lips,and for a moment,this stunned her.

However,her recovery was quick,as she watched the woman who'd hit her,now approaching her,with a knife in hand.Harris clearly recognised the woman's intent,having seen it so many times before.

As she stood up,Harris then produced her own knife,and accepted the challenge.Admist the still burning fires in the landing bay,the two women began to slowly circle each other,waiting for a weak moment to attack.

'I know you.'Harris recalled looking at this woman earlier,as they landed in the shuttle.'Who are you?'

Hunt's eyes blazed utter fury back at Harris.She'd waited so long for this moment,and was now planning her attack.

'Don't you remember,you murdering bitch?'Hunt practically snarled.'You're the murderer,who gunned down my brothers.'

It was then,that Harris' memory clicked,and an evil smile crept over her face.

'So,you're Hunt.'Harris still kept a careful eye on her.'I have to admit your brothers did very well,getting you to safety with Jennings and Montgomery.Finding them isn't easy,but I'm very pleased you bought them here.'

Hunt made no response to that.She knew what Harris was saying,and she wanted Jennings and Montgomery dead.Hunt gripped the handle of her blade tightly,as she was determined to stop her,and that meant killing her.She wanted to make Harris pay,for coldly murdering her brothers,all those years ago.

'I'm going to make you pay,for what you did to my family.'Hunt's voice,was still full of menace.'You won't murder anybody again.'

Harris merely smiled.'Well then,let's see what you're made off.'

Harris suddenly lunged at her,but Hunt easily blocked the thrust.She knew it was better,to keep a cool head in battle.Despite the blood boiling inside her,Hunt remained in control,as she then countered Harris' thrust,but that was blocked too.Admist all the still raging fires in the landing bay,the two women continued to fight.

Jennings watched O'Rourke fall down.He was pleased to see him do so.Jennings really wanted to smash this thug's face in,for kidnapping Louise.From the effect of his hits on him,Jennings could see,that he'd done a lot of damage to O'Rourke's face.

He could feel Louise standing behind him,and she was gripping him tightly.He put a reassuring hand on her own.Louise returned it,and as Jennings turned to face the shuttle,he could see Kate,and the rest of the Sirrun women,now entering the shuttle.A man's body came flying out of it moments later,and Kate reappeared in the shuttle's doorway.She was gesturing urgently at them to get on board.

To reinforce this,Jennings heard Kelly shout out another warning.

'Thirty seconds!'Her voice sounded like a scream.

Jennings then turned to Louise.

'Louise,get to the shuttle.'

'No way,John.'Louise was adamant.'You're not leaving me alone again.'

Jennings appreciated what his sister said,but he wanted her out of the firing line.He called over to Montgomery,as Kate literally ran towards Kelly,and ran with her,taking her into the shuttle.

'Monty,take Louise on board!'He had a sudden urgency in his voice.

Montgomery came over,and then gently,but firmly lifted,a still protesting Louise off her brother.He got her on the shuttle within moments,and Jennings turned his attention back towards Hunt.

He could see the fight she was engaged in,was a really nasty duel,and there was no sign of it ending.Both Hunt and Harris were highly experienced fighters,and the skill they displayed,was very impressive.

However,Jennings had to call out to his friend.

'Hunt! We're out of time!We have to go!'

Hunt showed no sign of hearing him,as she was still trying to thrust her knife into Harris,but her opponent was still managing to block all her attempts.

Damn bitch!Hunt snarled to herself.In that moment,she allowed her frustration to show,but she quickly planned another attack.Then,disaster struck.

Seeing Hunt lose concentration in that second,Harris acted decisively,as she then kicked Hunt's knife,out of her grasp.A spinning side kick from her,then sent Hunt reeling.She collapsed backwards,and desperately tried to get a hold on her fallen weapon,but Harris moved swiftly,as she then stood triumphantly over her.

'An excellent effort,my dear.'Harris was breathing heavily,but was still wearing her evil smile.Her tone became more menacing.'Such a pity you failed abysmally.Still,at least I'll let you join your brothers.'

Harris then raised her blade to strike the killer blow,but suddenly,a violent explosion ripped through the landing bay,sending her flying backwards.Everybody in the landing bay was.

Watching the fight,Jennings had knelt,keeping his weapon trained on Harris,just in case she got the better of his friend.His face had hardened,when he saw this actually happen.He was just about to shoot Harris,seeing her raise her knife,when he too,was knocked off his feet.When he recovered himself,Jennings instantly knew the 'Savage' was bombarding the Sanna ship.He didn't see,but the 'Formidable' was also blasting away too,at the same battle cruiser.

More violent explosions followed,sending Sanna troopers flying.More intense fires started,adding to the already serious ones raging.Jennings knew he had to get Hunt out of here,and he promptly ran over,to her dazed form.There was no sign of Harris or O'Rourke,and he didn't care.

He grabbed Hunt,and after lifting her over his shoulder,ran back towards the waiting shuttle.In record speed,he made it,and the shuttle's doors closed sharply.At the flight deck,Robson and Kate were at the controls,and Robson then lifted the shuttle out,and without wasting a second,she hit full power to the engines,and guided the craft out,of the heavily burning launching area.

Once they'd safely left the Sanna vessel far behind,Robson headed the ship towards the 'Savage.'She could see all the Sanna battle fleet,preparing to leave the Earth's system,and onto their own.

Seated next to Jennings,Kelly finally saw the digital timer reach zero,and she glanced up at her friends.

'That's it.'She told them quietly.'Time's up.'

++

Back in the Sanna landing bay,Harris and O'Rourke were scrambling desperately for cover.The whole place was tearing itself apart,and they both knew they had to get out of the area,if they wanted to survive.

Somehow,they'd both linked up,although neither was glad to see each other,especially Harris.

'You stupid fool,O'Rourke!'She cursed him savagely.'We'll be lucky to get out of this alive!'

O'Rourke didn't respond.Instead,he then spotted an exit out of this hell,and literally threw himself at it.Harris did the same,just as a massive sheet of flame,tore through the whole landing bay.

++

On the bridge of the Sanna ship,the Sanna commander was bracing himself,as the two Sirrun warships,the 'Savage' and the 'Formidable' blasted their main armament at him.They were inflicting devastating damage,and he'd already made the decision to leave the Earth's system.Just like the rest of his people here,they were so looking forward,to seeing the planet of Sirrus 6,and it would be totally at their mercy.

The co-ordinates for Sirrus 6,had been fed into their navigation systems,and the crew of each Sanna warship,was simply waiting for his command to proceed.He did so.

'Execute.'He ordered.

Instantly,his ship,and all the rest of the Sanna battle fleet,disappeared from the attacking 'Savage' and 'Formidable.' This way,they'd reach any destination,within seconds,no matter how vast the distance,and the humanoid commander grinned,as he was eager to savour the upcoming conquest,and his bloodlust was up.

Suddenly,the Sanna fleet entered normal space,and the Sanna commander smirked.Those Sirruns had a nasty surprise waiting for them.

'Position?'He asked confidently,waiting for the confirmation,that they were in the Sirruns home system..The response however,wasn't the one he expected.

'Unknown,commander.'One of the bridge officers replied nervously.

'What do you mean,unknown?'He demanded angrily,glaring at the bridge officer.

'There's nothing here.'The officer still sounded nervous.'No habitable system detected within range.'

Stunned,the Sanna commander immediately stalked over,to the officer's console,and he examined it himself.What he saw,made him want to cry out in rage.Their scans only showed empty space,and there was indeed,no system detected at all.It was then,that he received more bad news,as another bridge officer came up to him.

'Commander.'This officer reported,without any nervousness.'Security scans,have detected hostile computer virus,downloaded into all our navigation systems.'

So that's how they did it.The Sanna commander now knew what had gone wrong,and it made him even more madder.

However,he kept his temper in check,as he asked the officer.'Can you erase it?'

'It will take time,Commander.We're uncertain how long it will take.'

'Then proceed immediately.'He snapped his latest order out.'I want to find out where we are,and to get back to the Earth system.'

The officer already had that information,and again,it was bad news.The officer informed him,that the nearest star system,was many light years away.It would indeed,take them many years,to reach it.This made him more incensed,and for the moment,he was unable to think of a solution.

Even so,the Sanna commander knew who was responsible for this.It was the human female,known as Kelly.Her expertise knowledge of Sanna technology,had paid huge dividends for her people.This thought made the humanoid swear to himself,that he'd seize this girl again,and when he did have her back in his clutches,he'd make sure Kelly wouldn't pose any more problems.Permanently.

+++

With great skill,Major Robson guided the shuttle towards the 'Savage',and all the shuttle's occupants,were glad to see it.

As the shuttle flew towards one of the landing areas,in the shuttle's seating are,Jennings sat next to Louise.His sister was resting her head on his shoulder,and her arms were wrapped tightly around his powerful frame.She always felt so safe,and secure with her brother.

'You're always my hero,John.'Louise grinned up at him,kissing him warmly on the cheek.'I know you'll always come for me.'

'I always will,Louise.'Jennings grinned back,returning her kiss on her forehead.This made Louise snuggle into him more.

As he comforted Louise,Jennings suddenly spotted Hunt,who sat alone.He saw her expression,and knew he had to be there.He placed a hand on Louise's shoulder,gesturing with his eyes,to where he was going.Louise approved,and he made his way over.

'You okay?'He asked Hunt,kneeling down beside her.

Hunt glanced down at him.Her eyes reflected the bitterness of defeat,remembering Harris had beaten her,back in the Sanna ship.

'I had the bitch,John.'Her voice was bitter too.'I really wanted to make her suffer,before I killed her.'

Jennings nodded.He'd watched the whole fight.

'Yes,I watched you,Jan.'He knew Hunt only allowed him,to call her by her first name.'You know why she got the upper hand over you? Because you allowed your hate,to get the better of you.'

Hunt made no response,although Jennings still saw her eyes were fierce.

'You're a great fighter,Hunt.'Jennings told her.'I know you are,because me and Monty trained you.We owe you big time,for saving our necks,but you must always fight professionally.Never with hatred.If you can't control your hate in a fight,you'll always lose.'

Hunt appreciated what he was saying,but she still made no response.Jennings placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder,and Hunt didn't reject it.She seemed to come back,gripping his hand,and nodded at him.Pleased to see that,Jennings then rose,and sat back down,next to his sister.Louise resumed her warm hold on him once more.

'Is she okay,John?'Louise asked him.

'Hopefully,Louise.'Jennings knew Hunt only lived for one reason,and that was to kill Harris.He mentioned that to her.

'You really think we've seen the last of them,John?'Louise asked,regarding Harris and O'Rourke.

Jennings felt his sister's fear,as she said that.He hugged back into her,giving her another warm kiss,on her forehead.

'Let's hope so,Louise.'He sincerely meant that.'Let's hope so.'

They all felt a gentle bump,and knew the shuttle had landed.Jennings knew the war with the Sanna,was far from over.Despite sending many of their war fleet,into deep space,their numbers on Earth,were still considerable.There was still a lot to be done,but now with their new Sirrun friends,Jennings felt optimistic,that they now had a really good chance,of eliminating the Sanna leftdown on Earth,to the last trooper.

Jennings couldn't wait,for the next upcoming battle.

To be continued?
