Ch. 4

"We need to go to the bar to meet the spy, José," Miguél said when we landed in the slightly busy base, the base had a freighter the size of a destroyer and a group of explorer-looking Sabres, if I would've payed attention more, I would've noticed the Outcast icon on the freighter and the Hessian icon on the Sabres.

"Alright, lets go," I say and follow Miguél through the dark hallways of the Freeport. We passed several groups of bounty hunters, but since they're on a Freeport they can't attack, stupid, law-abiding chumps. We passed a group of Corsairs heading to the hanger, and a group of traders, most likely Zoners, no regular trader would be this far from the colonies.

"Alright, here we are, Freeport 9 Bar and Tavern," Miguél said with satisfaction.

"All we need to do is find our spy," I say and enter the bar, what I expected to find was a place full of Corsairs and bounty hunters, but what I saw was Red Hessians on one side of the bar and the Outcasts on the other.

What the hell is going on? Why are the Hessians and Outcasts doing here? I thought at lightning speed.

Then I done something right out of the Corsair instinct, I shot one of the Outcasts and shot one of the Hessians, with one shot of my laser pistol.

"Corsairs!" both the Hessians and Outcasts screamed. They grabbed their guns, but some were dead before they even got their hand near their holster.

"Outcasts! Hessians! Attack my brothers!" I yell at the top of my lungs. We had our guns in our hands and began shooting under five seconds, another of the Corsair's instincts. Half the Hessians were dead before the Outcasts even got to pull out their pistols.

"Charge!" the Hessian leader ordered, I shot him in the back of the head.

"General!" one of the Hessians yelled. He grabbed his weapon and shot one of us, Miguél, shot him in the shoulder.

"Miguél!" I yell and run to him, I pick him up and take him out of the bar, I used a med-pack on him and returned to the battle.

"Give up, Corsair slime!" the Outcast leader yelled. I shot him square between the eyes.

"Kill the rest, Corporal, I need to get Miguél back to the ships," I order.

"Yes, Lieutenant José," he responds and returns to battle. I pick up Miguél's slightly crumpled frame.

"José... Thanks for saving my life... You could've just let me die... Like any other Corsair would," Miguél rasped out.

"Miguél, your like my brother, I would never let you die," I swore to my friend.

"Thanks.... Man," he gasped with agonizing pain. I reached the hanger and set him the med-bay of one of the ships, I activated the medical robot and slumped his friend in on of the medical pods.

"What is the problem, Lieutenant José?" asked the robot in a very emotionless voice.

"Captain Miguél is severely hurt, can you be able to keep him alive until we can get to Crete and take him to the medical center?" I ask the robot, the robot goes over to Miguél and scans him.

"Lieutenant, with our med-bay, I can keep Captain Miguél alive for two days, but yes, he'll need Crete's medical center if he's going to live," the robot gives the analysis.

"Good, see to it he stays alive," I say and walk over to Miguél, "I'll see ya later buddy."

"Cya.." he rasps. I walk out of the medical ship and head back to the tavern.

"Corporal, how did the fight go?" I ask.

"We lost two men, two were hurt, but not as much as poor Miguél," the corporal replied.

"The enemy?" I ask as if I'm interrogating him.

"All dead, we sent men to check their ships for valuables," he answered.

"Good, any sign of our spy?" I ask another question.

"No, but if he's on the station, the meeting can still take place," he said.

"Looking for me?" a man appeared out of nowhere.

"You our spy???" I ask, my eyes like twin lasers.

"Yes, and I just need to tell you, the Outcast fleet is currently getting organized, I think they are preparing for war, the Hessians too," he said. The Hessian's fleet was no surprise, but the Outcasts fleet intrigued me.

"Outcasts?" I ask with shock.

"Yes, Lieutenant," he replied.

"The Elders will be interested in this, I will report this to them immediately, I'm going to go check on Miguél," I say and walk out of the tavern and head back to the hanger, the Corsairs were really seaching those ships, almost looks like they're stripping the ships apart. I went into the medical ship and walked over to Miguél.

"What you.... Find out?" he asked.

"The Outcasts and Hessians are preparing for war, but I'm pretty sure they're not going only against each other," I say with a sad and angry tone in my voice.

"Better report... That to the Elders," he says.

"That's the plan, man,"

Ch. 2

"We are approaching Freeport 9 now, general," one of the pilots of the heavily armed and defended freighter the size of a small colony destroyer, with Sabre backup. The small station come into view at 3,000 meters.

"Take us in, lieutenant," I order, my name is General Hernandez, of the Outcasts. I was the 2nd in command to the Leader of the Outcasts himself.

"Yes, sir," the lieutenant replied and we flew toward the station. If I would've looked closer at the station, I would've noticed that a group of Titans just docked with the station...

"José, you coming with us?" my friend, and commander, Miguél asked me over the intercom.

"Yea, I'm on my way," I say, "Crete, this is Lieutenant José, requesting for access to lift-off sequence?" I ask to the orbital docking ring.

"Lieutenant José, your request for lift-off has been granted, you may prepare for lift-off."

I revved my engines and went through the docking ring into the black void of space. I charged my cruise engines and headed for the coordinates gave to me by Miguél. I met them at the rendezvous.

"Took you long enough, man," Miguél said with a sarcastic tone.

"Let's just get moving to Omicron Theta, ok?" I say. But we don't know that we will be met by Outcasts and Red Hessians on Freeport 9....

Prologue:

It all started one day in Omicron Theta, three of the major pirate groups were on the same station, the Corsairs, Outcasts, and Red Hessians, if you think about it, if these pirates meet, it'll be all-out war in a single room! This happened, the groups accidentally bumped into each other in the Freeport 9 bar. After that, the Elders of the Corsairs, the leaders of the Outcasts, and the leaders of the Hessians decided to go to war, if you were playing a game, it would be called a free-for-all or everyone against everyone. We begin our story with a Corsair named José.
Enjoy!

As some of you know, I own a FL Fan site called Freelancer Sirius, my co-owner and me are converting FLS into a server and a mod! We'll need help to make the mod, as most mods arn't made by two people. You can contact me via our website (Here) or contact me at [email protected] Keep a eye out on our server on the website under the blog or our news forum. I hope you enjoy our server when it's out and ready. Our current plan is to get the server running, then mod it. It'll be running as a Vanilla or modding server until the mod is ready. Enjoy!

"Mr. Viper, you are now allowed to leave the hospital, your ship has been completely fixed and has been tested, it work like new.

"Thanks, Dr. Johnson." I say and I begin to walk out of the hospital, I went to the Liberty Security Force HQ. "How's it going, Jake?" I ask the 2nd in command.

"Not bad, Viper, oh the boss wants to see ya!" I walk over to General Don's office. "You need to see me, Don?"

"Yes, we need you and a group of explorers to search for the other colony ships, we beleive that they colonized in different sectors of Sirius."

"So, you want me and a team of explorers to search for some other colonies?" I ask.

"Precisily," he said.

"I'll get to it right away," I say and walk out of the office.

I awoke in my tube for the second time, the man returns.

"Hello Mr. Viper," he said.

"Hello Dr. uh... What's your name?" I ask.

"My name is Dr. Johnson," he says, "Are you ready to be moved to your room? Your extensive healing is done."

"OK," I say.

He punches a button on a hidden console and the Liquid medicine drained away, I was a little wobbly on my feet but eventually I gained the strength to stand up without wobbling.

Dr. Johnson opened the door to the tube and I walked out. I followed the Doctor down a steel-grey hall, there was windows overlooking the landing pad, I noticed my Defender in a repair bay, it looked badly damaged.

"Is that my ship?" I asked. He looked out of the window.

"Yes, Mr. Viper," the Doctor said.

We began to move toward the hospital rooms. We went into room 218 and I laid down in my bed.

"Good night, Mr. Viper," Dr. Johnson said and left the room...

I regain conciseness, dazed and confused. A man walks up to the tube I'm in.

"Ah, Viper you're awake. How do you feel?" The man asked.

"Dazed, Confused, and hurting all over my body," I say softly.

"Don't think too hard, Viper, you survived a hell of a crash, you could've been killed by those ppl. Luckily a Deep Space Engineering patrol was nearby, or you could've been killed," the man kept rambling on, "You are in the Extensive Injury Hospital on Planet Manhattan, you were transfered here from the medic lab on the academy near the Badlands."

"May I ask a few questions?" I asked.

"Sure Mr. Viper," he answered.

"What happened? How did my ship get so badly damaged?" I ask.

"You mean you don't remember? I guess you have slight amnesia Mr. Viper," He says, I nod, "OK, you were out in the Badlands searching for the Rogue base, when you found it, you were ambushed by them. You attacked back but got badly damaged, we had to replace or fix some of your vital organs. But we've talked long enough, I believe if we talk any more you'll lose conciseness," then a needle went into my arm, I fell asleep...

From the back of the Bar on Planet Manhatton. A man that was a General during the Solar War looked around at the ppl around the place. His name was General Shadow Viper, ppl just called him the "Viper". The scar going down the left side of his face from the top of his blue eyes to his war-scarred chin seem to stare at ppl in the eye, as if it wanted to fight. Criminals hate him, soldiers fear him, he killed the main leader of the Coalition during the war. He paid for his Liberty Ale and left the bar...

Viper walked toward the landing pad, ppl walked by unaware of the great war hero walking by them. He was used to this, he wasn't as well known as Generals in the war, but he was still the man who killed the Coalition's leader, doesn't that mean something? His Defender (which has the same things and attributes of a Sabre with Nomad Energy Cannons and a Heavy Fighter Uber Shield) was the golden light of the Liberty fleet. Does that mean something? Wouldn't that get my name noticed? I searched the landing platform for anything suspicious, lately a small group of criminals called the Liberty Rogues have been a pain in New Yorks butt. If I could kill their leader, would that make me known? Only me killing him will tell...

"Mr. Viper, you may lift off," said Manhattan's docking ring announcer.

"Thank you, be back soon," I say. I lift off and head toward the Badlands...

As I neared the Badlands, my heart skipped a few beats. I knew attacking the Rogues will be suicide, especially at their main base. But I have to try, for me to get noticed I need to do this...

My ship shudders as I attack. I feel my Defender shuddering under my feet.

"Help!" I call out to ppl outside the Badlands or even a nearbye patrol. But it was too late...

"Bye, Bye, Viper!" a Rogue says...
