Firefight
Mission Brief: In early 2020, crime levels have spiked and Interpol is
useless, the government is in chaos and crime lords are rampaging through the
streets. That is why the Galactic Senate made the decision to request the
Kimonians to help supply the city of Sceitan with an army of clone soldiers.
Clones will fight the wars that the police or the NPO cannot fight, clones don’t
complain and are very good fighters. The only problem is that they are hard to
distinguish if the clones are not allowed to have a distinguishable hairdo, it has
also been a custom that whenever a young clone shows a very distinguishable
skill or emotion at anytime, they are to be given a special nickname so that it is
easier for the superiors like the Prime Generals to call the clone’s by a name
instead of a long serial number. Clones have brown eyes, jet-black hair, very
sturdy features that you might see on a regular soldier in the marines. One
squadron of clones has stood out over the four years since the production of
clones started, the Ghost Squad. The Ghost Squad is a team of six Commando
clones lead by a highly decorated clone commander, Wheels, who has
accomplished many missions in his time serving the galactic senate. He is also
the commanding officer of the entire blue clone platoon.
Villain Record: Drug Lord Riley McHenderson a.k.a “Maze” has been in the drug
dealing business since late 2023 and has recently developed a startling new

2. drug, which he calls “Vertigo”, a highly addictive and affordable drug. In it’s purest
form, “Vertigo” can be a very dangerous substance, because once in the
bloodstream it will stop one’s heartbeat in matter of seconds. No one has been
able to track down Maze or any of his inner-circle, not the police, not the NPO,
but we may still have a chance at winning this drug war....
2025, in the Clone HQ situated in the well lit, busy and highly
populated Sceiten:
“Clone Commander Wheels, please report to the mission debrief room
immediately,” said a mechanical female voice. One bald clone among the millions
of other clones off duty in the mess hall looked up, he then took his blue colored
helmet and left for the missions debrief room.
“Wonder what it is this time?” muttered Wheels as he entered the room.
An officer standing behind a circular holo-projector looked up, his name was
Gale, clone mission controller,
“Morning Wheels, good to see you are fit for your next mission, ‘cause it will
probably give you and your men the fight for your life,” said Gale in a very serious
tone.
“I highly doubt that it will be harder than the battle for the capital city of Gorgon,
huh?” said Wheels cheekily. “Maybe, here is your holo mission debrief, I want
your men on this case asap, is that clear soldier?” said an unamused Gale.
“Yes Sir,” said a now serious looking Wheels as he walked out of the debrief

3. room. Wheels then called his men via his com-link to gather in the main fighter
hanger. When they all arrived, Wheels played out the following debrief video, a
plump figure popped up from the flat surface to the holo mission debrief and it
said
“Good Morning, I am Captain Ruso of Interpol, we have approached your squad
commander, Wheels, because it seems fit that your team should handle this
mission. Your mission is to track down the drug lord “Maze”, a.k.a Riley
McHenderson. Then a file on what Interpol and NPO had on Maze came up,
which did not cover much.
The plump figure spoke again: “Maze has disappeared and none of our agents
can infiltrate his organization, they’ve either bailed out, or are dead, so that is
why we need you. We are counting on you and your squad commander.” And
with that, the recording ended.
Shred, Wheels’ weapons expert with a sort of blue gear tattoo on his baldhead,
asked, “Right, so any ideas on how to catch this shady Maze guy?”
When no one responded, Freefall, Wheels’ technician who shaved his hair into
two blue arrows, excitedly said,
“I’ve finally figured out where I heard that name before!”
“Where?” asked Orbis, Wheels’ scout who kept the same army cut hair style of a
new clone said excitedly,
“Through one of my bugs that I planted in a bar on our last routine mission, I
overheard some drunken fellow mention that a guy called Maze had a HQ

4. somewhere in the Scorpion Nebula, on the humid, dense jungle planet Rancor.”
“Good job Freefall”, said Wheels, “Now let’s start hunting, boys!”
Wheels and the rest of his men filed into a shuttle to the Scorpion Nebula,
the trip was long and boring, but they finally managed to get there, by the time
the twin suns of the dense jungle planet Rancor, home of the most poisonous air
scorpions and plants, had risen. Wheels and his men filed out and started using
their state of the art structure scanners, to try and locate Maze’s HQ.
“Arrgh, nothing works in this jungle, we’re blind!” said an angry Orbis.
“All right then, we’ll just have to do this the old-fashioned way,” said Knuckles,
Wheels’ soldier with a haircut that nearly made him bald. And with that, he
pocketed his scanner and started trekking through the dense jungle. Wheels then
looked at the rest of his men’s grim and determined faces and turned around to
follow Knuckles footprints into the woods with the rest of the squad silently
following his lead.
Suddenly, “Sir, you might want to see this!” shouted the distant voice of
Knuckles.
Immediately Wheels and his men charged through the undergrowth, blasters
ready to come to Knuckles aid. But when they arrived, they found Knuckles
kneeling over a still form of a man.
Knuckles looked up and said in an excited tone: “Found a map on this guy as
well as other things that might be useful!”

5. An hour later, Wheels and his men were hiding behind some bushes, staking out
a massive compound patrolled by guards and howler dogs.
“This must be Maze’s HQ!” said a bewildered Freefall,
“Ya’ think?” said an annoyed Shred.
Wheels was oblivious to this though, because he was focusing on the patrol
patterns of the sentries and dogs. When he was sure he was in tune with that
pattern, he signaled the rest of his men to follow him. Wheels then led his men
through a gap in the patrol time when the sentries are changing and into the open
doors of the compound.
In the dimly lit penthouse on the 10th floor of the compound, a figure was
looking out of a window while another figure behind him was struggling in vain to
escape the iron chair in which he was bounded to. Then the figure bound to the
chair let out a blood-curling scream of pure agony followed by an eerie silence.
The figure at the window smiled,
“This is where failure gets you!” he sung merrily in his head.
A faint beeping sound on his wristband sounded, he then brought his hand up to
his chin and said,
“What is it now, Laurence, shouldn’t you be able to handle it? For god sake, you
are the newly appointed chief of security!” Maze said, obviously bored. On the
other end came a frantic reply
“Sir! There are intruders on level 8 and they are mowing down our men, what

6. should we do!” “Keep the attack up, reinforcements will arrive shortly.” “Thank
you sir.”
Then Laurence hurriedly hung up. Maze slowly smiled as he lowered down his
hand and silently thought, “Yes, thank me.” Meanwhile on level 9, there was a
firefight. Wheels’ men were all alive, but they were cornered. They couldn’t
progress with all the blaster fire coming at them from around the corner.
“We can’t hold out much longer, Wheels”, said Knuckles as he let go a torrent of
blaster fire at the giant mass of enemy guards dropping two of them instantly,
“I know that, just keeping firing!” said Wheels as he threw a enemy thermal
detonator out of a open window, but then suddenly a sort of green haze came
from behind the enemy guards and Wheels heard coughing and bodies falling
and someone saying,
“Sir, what have you done?” and with that, Wheels yelled, “Move it, move it!”
Then he ran for his life with his squad hot on his heels. But he saw the green
haze coming out from a vent in directly on top of him and he stopped in his track.
He couldn’t help but wait until the green haze swallowed him and his team whole!
When Wheels woke up, he found himself tied to a chair and the rest of his
men chained to a wall in a well-lit room. Then suddenly a voice from behind
Wheels hollered,
“Well, look at what the cat dragged in!” at the same time, someone grabbed
Wheels and dragged around to face a familiar looking man. He remembered, this

7. man was the face he seen in the mission brief, it was the big time drug lord,
Maze!
“Good to see you already know me, saves me and you both a boring introduction!
If you’re wondering how I know you know me, I will just say that I saw it in your
eyes!” said a cocky looking Maze. “What do you want Maze?” said Wheels. “Oh,
well, just basically a horde of vertigo addicted people for me to control, and for
you to stop poking around in my business! Or else one of your five “brothers” will
get an injection of highly compressed pure Vertigo for them to choke on!” said a
gleeful looking Maze.
Wheels was furious. How had he gotten himself and his clone brothers into this
mess? Now he had to pick between finishing the mission and saving the life of
one of his brothers. Then Maze turned around to grab something, at the same
time he finished that thought, he noticed that Freefall was awake and had
watched the whole scene play out. At the same time, Wheels noticed that Freefall
built a distress button on his belt for situations like this as well as a secret pocket
with a unused laser blade in it. Once Freefall pushed the distress button, the
laser blade immediately dropped out of the hidden pocket and with his finely
tuned reflexes, Freefall kicked it across the room and behind Wheels who caught
it with his bounded hands while Maze was looking away. When Maze turned to
face Wheels with a syringe full of green liquid, Wheels had already started cutting
his rope bonds away. Maze looked back and said
“Sorry to keep you waiting, a slight malfunction in the transmission jammer. Now

8. where were me, ahh, yes, you were deciding whether to keep the mission on, or
whether to save the lives of your fellow clone brothers?” “Yeah, I’ve decided, to
take you down and put you in prison with the rest of the criminal scum!” replied
Wheels. Then Maze smiled and said, “Well then, I really wished you could’ve
been a bit more collaborative, cause now I have to kill one of your brothers, then
another one and then finally you. How sad!” Wheels smiled and said,
“Oh I don’t think that you will kill any of us today.” And with that, Wheels gave the
rope bonds one last violent tug with the knife and the rope snapped in two, which
then gave Wheels the chance to launch himself forward and head-butt Maze in
the face, which stunned Maze. Wheels quickly freed his legs, punched Maze in
the gut and freed the rest of the Ghost Squad. Just as he freed his last soldier
and passed out everyone’s weapons, a small army of Maze’s guards burst into
the room firing wildly at anything they saw. Knuckles was hit in the arm and was
thrown back into a wall, which rendered him unconscious. Orbis dragged
Knuckles behind an upturned table and started shooting back at the guards with
the other members of Ghost Squad. In the midst of the chaos, Maze jumped out
of the balcony and onto his private Solar Sailer. Wheels noticed the sudden turn
of events and chased after him. Wheels jumped but missed the sailer by inches
and started plummeting towards the ground below. After the initial shock, Wheels
grabbed his grappling hook from his utility belt and shot out the hook which
latched onto a rail below the sailer. When Wheels was level with the 10th floor
balcony, he threw a thermal detonator into the hull, let go of the hook and landed

9. heavily on the balcony. The thermal detonator blew up just moments after
Wheels landed on the balcony, causing the sailer to plummet into the waiting
arms of the jungle below. Wheels immediately turned around and noticed the
bodyguards had fled and his team was already placing detonators around the
complex. When they were done, they obediently waited for Wheels orders.
Wheels had his men individually searching the woods for Maze while Orbis
and Spike, Wheels’ medic who had a kind of bluish hair, stayed behind to look
after the injured Knuckles. Then suddenly Wheels was hit from behind and fell to
the ground, standing over him was Maze, Maze’s eyes were blazing and he was
holding a blaster pistol at Wheel’s face.
Wheels then said in a calm voice, “Put the blaster down, Maze, and there is no
need to go any further, you lost.” Maze furiously replied, “It was perfect before
you came in, guns ablaze to ruin my perfect operation, why?” but Maze couldn’t
finish the sentence because Wheels immediately kicked the gun away from his
face as Maze fired, then stood up, landed a few punches, which sent Maze
sprawling onto the ground. Maze raised a shaking hand and fired a bolt right at
Wheels, but Wheels was too quick and dodged the projectile as it whizzed by,
inches from hitting his face. Instinctively, Wheels raised his own blaster pistol and
fired at Maze from a point blank range. Back at clone operations HQ at Sceiten
City, the Ghost Squad was awarded medals for their valor in taking down the big-
time drug lord Maze. Medal’s of Honor were given out that day, and Ghost Squad

10. has still retained its reputation as possibly the greatest clone squad to have ever
been manufactured since the Inferno Squad which was equally famous for it’s
heroic clone soldiers.
