Nightstar
The enemy was moving towards the mountains Colonel Chapman had four of them on radar, a Whitworth, Commando, BlackJack, and a Titan. The Siegers out classed them in all ways except for speed, he had his Nightstar his lance mates had a Banshee, Black Knight, and a Battlemaster. Sneaking around the hills the Siegers intercepted the unknown pirate lance and engaged. Colonel Chapman fired both Gauss Rifles at the BlackJack only one hitting the right leg nearly stripping it of all its armor, the Siegers' Black Knight piloted by Master Sergeant Sakel callsign Bond hit the enemy Whitworth hard with a PPC and Large laser both to the center torso causing a critical hit on the engine.
The pirates tried to regroup and focus on the 'mech which Chappy was piloting, but Colonel Chapman remained steadfast planted his feet to get a good target lock and fired an alpha strike on the Blackjack all weapons hit taking the Blackjack’s left arm and right leg off when the 'mech fell to the ground the pilot was knocked unconscious. With one Battlemech down the Siegers moved to the next target, that is when the enemy Titan finally came over the hill that was blocking him. Chappy was focused on the Commando and fired two Gauss with both hitting the center torso destroying the mech. Sergeant Kemal callsign Hazard piloting the Banshee lived up to his name and went toward the Titan at full speed, ignoring the fast-approaching Banshee the Titan fired an Alpha Strike at Sakel in her Black Knight, taking critical hits on both the engine and gyro Sergeant Sakel went down. The pirate Titan then turned its focus on Chappy firing and hitting almost everything luckily the NightStar can take a crap load of punishment as well as dishing it out. Chappy fired both his Gauss at the Titan hitting but only taking armor off the mech. The Pirate pilot in the Blackjack finally regain consciousness and fired what he could hitting the backside of the Battlemaster, Master Sergeant Sicak was surprised and twisted around to see who hit him. The Whitworth and the Banshee was locked up in combat with the Whitworth trying to outmaneuver it. Chappy was still locked on with the Titan doing another Alpha Strike this time the result was perfect, first the right arm was completely destroyed but then all the ammo for the Titan’s SRM system exploded causing the Titan to have a cascading engine failure. Within fifteen minutes from the time the battle started all four pirate mechs were destroyed two pirate pilots dead and two were capture.
Siegers’ barracks - Basement
Capital City, Old Os
Bad News, Draconis Combine

Colonel Chapman hated this part, interrogation specially when the men and women that are being question resist. He slowly walked down the stairs that lead him to the lowest level of the barracks where no sunlight had ever been shined, where screams were never heard, and where blood was never found.
Chappy open the double metal doors and saw two people both chained up neither was hurt badly, the male was to the right of the female.
“Sir! All we have gotten so far was their name, rank, and home planet. They are pretty discipline for pirates.” The interrogator said.
Colonel Chapman moved into the room and took a chair from the far side wall dragging it over so that it faced the two prisoners he said. “Its lunch time go eat I will stay here until you come back in an hour.”
The interrogator snapped to attention “Yes, Commander” and then left.
Matthew looked at the two prisoners and said. “Looks like you two were worked over pretty good, yet you have given nothing up, very non-pirate. I wonder who you are and what your group is really doing here?”
The male prisoner bent over and spit out a mouth full of blood with a tooth with it.
“So, you are the commander? Our boss has been waiting for you he has a bone to pick with the great Chapman and also has a few surprises. Now, kill us or leave us alone we will never tell you anything.”
Matthew looked at the prisoner curiously and tilted his head to the side, the prisoner noticed and said. “What the ****** you are looking at?”
“What I am looking at I don’t know, but I do know that you just gave me more information in the last two minutes than you did a whole night of getting your face smashed in, interesting.”
With that Matthew stood up went to the door and banged on it, when it opens it was new man. “Continue where the first one left off; they will break soon.” With that Matthew walked out.
Colonel Chapman was walking up the stairs thinking about what the prisoner said, It must be someone from his past, some one that wanted to cause harm or embarrassment to him.
His first thought was General Hayes, but Hayes was a female. So unless she was disguised as a man then she was out, same thing for his ex-wife.
Slowly Matthew moved through the hallways of the barracks, What about the Revengeful Angels?, Matthew thought as he continued to walk through the halls toward the front door.
Unless they split their force there was no way to get here from Niles in two weeks, so he put them on the back burner for now.
Bursting through the front door Matthew found himself in the courtyard where there was several meticulous groomed flower beds and bushes with seats scatter throughout the scenery.
The Cacodemons Base of Operations
The Great Cavern, Green Mountains
Bad News, Draconis Combine
March 28th, 2791
The Great Cavern was a wonder that you had to see to appreciate it. There was the main cavern that was a mile long and about 400 yards wide with off-shoot tunnels that led to smaller caverns. This was a perfect location to hide out with the heavy metals in the mountains no one could detect the 'mech activity. In the first off shoot to the left sat a tall older man whittling away at a piece of wood waiting for word on the lance he sent to destroy a food convoy, they were ten hours late, His unit calling themselves The Cacodemons was a very tight run organization with all pilots having achieved elite status, so this was very unacceptable.
His XO showed up at the entry point of the Cavern.
“Colonel, reports have been confirmed Echo Lance has been destroyed and two pilots have been taken prisoners.”
Bad news thought the Colonel but not terrible, his vengeance will be soon. “Have all the units pull back to the base lets get prepared to fight the Siegers on our terms. What about the last shipment? Was it delivered?”
“Yes sir without problems or issues it was leaving the planet when the Siegers was coming no issues whatsoever.”
With that the XO did an about face and left the Colonel to his hate. I will kill the cub and the rest of his followers no matter what. he thought.
