Jerald Nocks, Golden ShieldSUBJECT:    Liberation AidATTACHMENT:    Picture<Start Message>The crew of the Great Fox has agreed to help you in the Mushroom Kingdom and the rest of the planet's liberation.  Of course, I come to you first to ask for our permission to help.  If the situation is covered, and you are not in need of assistance, then please say so.  The crew has come up with a plan already however, if you accept our aid.Me, and our newest recruit, Reco, will take to the ground and assist your troops along with any other troops in the main areas of combat.  I have sent an attachment of Reco's photo so you can identify him.  The rest of the crew will take to the skies.  They will make bomb runs, and destroy enemy fighters, but all bomb runs will be authorized by ground troops, to ensure no friendly deaths.Please respond to this request A.S.A.P.  We will go to action as soon as permission is granted, if granted.Fox Mcloud<Attachment><End Message>*    *    *Reco was rather pleased that the request for aid was accepted.  He considered it to be a proper way to practice his Light Caster powers and somewhat "show off".  He was placed in the Mushroom Kingdom, while Fox was placed in Rogueport.  Reco zapped a SSA soldier with his powers and watched the soldier fall to the ground.  He felt like he was getting the hang of things as another soldier dropped to the ground.  Reco also packed the hand shotgun, which he soon found was called the K1C3R 52, from the engraved name on the side.  Slippy and ROB examined the shotgun and made more ammo for it, making a few gunpowder-shelled clips, but mostly plasma, due mainly to the fact that gunpowder was harder to get.  The shotgun was not like any other, since it had a clip.  The clip was fed into the top, and a large ring rounded the trigger, which Slippy concluded was the way to reload the camber.  There was also a recoil suppressor, so if Reco shot it, his hand wouldn't fly off.Reco came across the city that he first went to.  Soon after walking around, he saw the hotel he checked into about a month ago.  Curious, he decided to go take a look.  He was forced to blow open the doors when they refused to open on their own.  The first thing that caught Reco's eyes was crates, lots of crates.  They weren't there when Reco was here.  When he approached a crate he saw the symbols SSA with a black sword crossing through the logo.  The Cornerian troops needed to know about this."This is Reco."  He said pressing a button on his communication watch, "I found what is most likely a weapons storage for the SSA at the Mushroom City Hotel."  He waited for an answer as he jumped up on one of the crates."Affirmative, we're on our way."  A voice crackled over the line.  Now he just needs to wait, and make sure the storage gets secure.It seemed like 10 minutes went by when Reco started hearing noises from outside.  He jumped off the crate that he was sitting on and started walking towards the entrance.  Before he could say anything a grenade was lobbed into the room.  On reaction Reco jumped back and got behind a table that was knocked on its side.  As the grenade went off, a squad of SSA soldiers entered the room.  With their rifles at aim, they looked around the room.  They must've intercepted Reco's transmission, or it was the SSA that intercepted it in the first place.  Reco hid behind the table, hoping that there were Cornerian troops on the way.  He focused energy into his hands, and tried his hardest to possibly get more energy.  He was concentrating as hard as he can until he heard someone say "check behind the table!"This was it; he was going to do what he could do.  He jumped up, clapped his hands together and let the energy go.  A large bolt of energy soared through the air, hitting about 3 soldiers on the way.  Reco himself was pushed back by the energy, and somewhat surprised at the same time.  The rest of the living 14 soldiers retaliated and started spraying bullets and plasma down range at Reco.  He jumped back behind the table and tried to charge more energy again.  For some reason, the energy wasn't coming, it must be somewhat depleted and needs time to recharge.  Reco looked to his side, and saw a crate.  He reached over and pulled as hard as he could to get it over behind the table.  A bullet skimmed his arm and he groaned at the pain but kept pulling.  Once it was behind the table, he put it on its side and knocked the top of it off with K1C3R shotgun.  He saw that it stored grenades, and rifle ammunition, but the grenades were good enough.  He pulled the pin to one of the grenades, cooked it and lobbed it as the SSAs.  The grenade blew up in mid-air, and killed a few of the soldiers.  He peeked around the table and made a quick count of the remaining soldiers: 9, there were still too many.  He got another grenade, which looked different, pulled the pin, cooked it and lobbed in the middle of the soldiers position.  The grenade went off, but not with and explosion. What the heck!? Reco thought to himself.  The room started filling up with smoke.  It was a smoke grenade.  The room was filled with smoke, and the soldiers became confused, they just started suppressing fire in Reco's direction.  Reco took the opportunity to get out from behind the table.  He took two grenades and another smoke grenade and stuffed them into his backpack.  He ran from behind the table, and dashed around the soldiers, or at least he thought he was, the smoke was very dense, but the flashes from the guns gave him a relative idea.  He was running from the soldiers when he ran into the front welcome desk.  The smoke was starting to clear, so he jumped behind it.  As the room cleared of smoke the SSA soldiers stopped firing.  The table that Reco was hiding behind was full of holes, and there was nothing behind it.  The spun around and looked for Reco, they split up and approached every possible cover.  Reco pulled the K1C3R from its holstered (made by Fox), and got it ready to fire.  He held it up and got ready to fight.  As a soldier walked up to the desk, Reco jumped up on top of it, before the soldier could react Reco pulled the trigger.  The SSA lurched back and fell to the ground, a point blank shot.  The rest of the soldiers looked at him and started to fire.  Reco jumped back behind the desk and felt his heart beating faster than ever, that moment scared hi when he felt the heat of the bullets whiz past his head.Then a grenade landed right in front of him, pin pulled.  Reco felt his heart skip a beat.  Without thinking Reco sucked up the grenade and thought of what would happen when he swallowed it.  The copy ability of Grenade Ability took him and the next thing he knew he had a grenade launcher for an arm.  Reco smiled brightly as he looked at the grenade launching beauty.  His dark gray arm hand a large hole at the end and a charge release system to launch grenades farther.  He decided to jump over to the side of the desk, where they wouldn't expect him to go, and he released a trio of grenades.  The SSA ran in fear as they saw impact explosion grenades fly towards them and they dove out of the way, but some of them were two late.  Only 4 were left when Reco looked back around the counter.  He was ready to make another move when Cornerian troops entered the room, punching holes in the confused SSA troops. Now they come.  Reco thought."Reco, come in!" Fox's voice called through Reco's wrist communicator."Yea, what is it?"  Reco replied."How are you doing on your end?"  He asked."Well, I found a weapon storage for the SSA, but not much else, I don't know how the rest of the area is doing though." Reco explained."Actually, the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom area is clear, sir."  The squad leader of the Cornerian troops interrupted.  Great, Reco sighed.  He missed most of the action being stuck in a hotel."Thank you." Fox said. "Reco, we need you back at the Great Fox."  The news struck Reco like a rock."What, why? I'm not done here!"  Reco retorted."There was a message intercepted from the SSA that concerns you." Fox explained.  "You need to see it yourself.""But I can see for myself here! Just message it to me!"  Reco exclaimed."There's more to it. Just go Reco, you'll understand later."  Fox finished.Reco groaned.  He wanted to continue to fight.  The Mushroom Kingdom may be liberated, but there are most likely other places swarming with SSA.  He couldn't argue with fox though.  The message must be important if he needed to go to the Great Fox for it.  He sighed one last time and headed for his Arwing.</blockquote>
