A burst of gunfire rang out in the air. Nolan went down. Suddenly, the air filled with the sounds of gunfire close by. They were under attack.<br/><br/>"Get down!" Nolan said. "Everybody down."<br/><br/>Saber came running out of the jet, not even phased by the fire erupting around him. He dashed into a bush and no more fire came from that area.<br/><br/>Nolan set up to fire, but ducked down. There was a sound of vehicles and the attention of the attackers suddenly shifted. Nolan watched them route back into the forest. Someone offered a hand. Nolan looked up into the eyes of canine-human hybrid wearing ballistic armor. He took the canine's hand. More canines like the first walked into the opening surrounding the jet.<br/><br/>"Bout time," he said.<br/><br/>((I never got to explain who these guys are. They're the 'Nines' a mechanized special forces unit that specializes in mechanized blitzkrieg warfare.))
