Demon Mercenaries

It was looking to be a bright day indeed thought Demon Squad Leader Vic Savvy. He and his formidable lance of mechs continued their march up the hill surveying the damage causesd by the rebels attack earlier that night. They had struck in the middle of the night at 1 locations.The location was the local prison where POWs and political prisoners were being held. It unfolded like this the previous night.
"Grey Two get back in position." barked Squad Leader Vic Savvy. He was generally a quiet mannered man, but today his patience was running thin. He thought to himself, why in God's good name, can't I get a squad of veterans and not his bunch of green rookies. Well it can't be helped so he would have to make the most of what High Command had issued him.
"Grey Two, Three, and Four form up on me and were going to continue our patrol." This particular night held no more significance than any other, but lately his men had been growing lax, so Vic planned on making them work extra hard as not to fall into bad habits.
"Capn' why do we have to do this every night." moaned Grey Two a rookie straight out of mech pilot training school. "I mean no one has ever tried to escape or break into this prison, so isn't it enouigh to leave this to the local garrison?"
"Son I thought I had explained this to you," said Vic "We do this because you need the practice, and were the incentive for no one to try any daring adventures."
No sooner had the words left his mouth when two 30 ton Hyenas came with two hover tanks and pummeled the patrol squad.
"Now do you see why patrol this area!"
"Yes Capn' I completely do now!" Screamed Grey Two. As the missles streaked by the squad Vic issued his orders.
"Gray Four get in position behind the mechs."
"Roger!" replied Four, as her 20 ton Kooler raced to get into position.
"Two and Three come in with me we're rushing them!"
"Sir." came the clear responses from one and two, each riding a 25 ton Lexer. Vic in his 40 ton Clutch a huge mech for the light category led the charge and they smashed into the enemy lines. The two Hyenas were good mechs, but they just couldn't stand up to the ferociy of the combined assualt. Grey Four nailed them from behind with her medium lasers, which caused the mechs to perform an about face and open fire on her. This left the flanks of the 2 mechs open for assualt and Grey Squad lept upon it, like starved lions to a wounded animal. Soon there was two smoldering piles of wreckages as testimony to the superior numbers and training of Grey Squad.
"Damage report." Vic commanded.
"My right arm is missing but I'm still operable." came the shrill reply from Grey Four.
"Sir, the two tanks managed to escape the battle." reported Grey Three.
"Let them go, we can let them tell their friends not to mess with Demons Mercenaries any more." Came the smug reply of Vic.
Well Vic thought to himself. Considering that was the first real combat any of the rookies have seen they fared extremely well. As Vic surveyed the damage to the prison, the sun came up and Vic knew the fate of the Federation would be a good one. For how could it not be with such courageous soldiers defending its border's. But how little he knew of the plots to undermine the authority and power that he and his compatriots had fought so valiantly to protect, all which could be brought to nil.
