Kree Raid 2

"Red, what's going on?" Yellow asks in an agitated manner as they run.

"Don't worry Yellow, just keeps running, once we're under the bridge there won't be any danger" he says to calm her down as he continues looking for danger in the sky,

But it's doubtful that his words will be of much use as several buildings in the distance begin to burst into flames.

They were not far from the river that crosses the city in several channels, so they soon began running along the eastern bank towards the bottom of the bridge.

The city's anti-air defenses are not firing, the reason is unknown, just many ships fighting an air battle while rapidly reducing their height.

"Red… I can't… keep running," Yellow says breathlessly.

¨Well what can be done, it is better to pick her up if she is tired, I would go faster carrying her¨ Red thinks for a moment and decides to take her in a princess hug.

"Yellow look at the sky and search, if you see a ship approaching us... let me know" he tells her, a little out of breath from the run, but without letting his guard down as well.

"I will" Yellow.

He keeps running for a couple more minutes until suddenly her little sister yells at he.

"Reed!" yellow.

At that moment, he looks in the direction of his gaze and sees a couple of ships approaching his direction, one of them letting out a lot of smoke, the one behind it deviates, only then does Red realize, he is falling... he reacts quickly by running to the side but it only takes one step to realize... it's useless... he's coming too fast, he just has time to drop to the ground while shielding Yellow below him.

The Kree ship descends at an angle, hits the water once and bounces, spinning forward as she continues to repeat this several times. times, tearing itself apart in the process and then exploding.

The other ship that followed him makes another pass over the place and leaves.

*Beep* Shaking his head and Red asks "Yellow?" but he doesn't hear anything, he looks down and sees his little sister writhing, the shock wave of the explosion affected her a bit too, but he doesn't see any injuries on her... He feels something hot moving across his forehead and arm, touching with the hand sees blood.

He looks around as he tries to get up without much success, still stunned by the explosion, a few tens of meters near him, is the Kree ship sinking into the water, he realizes that some of the fragments of the ship that were thrown out they were what hurt him.

"I'm glad to have Yellow under me, who knows what or where one of them might have hit her" He thinks

Then it only takes a few seconds for him to regain his composure as he picks up his little sister who seems to have passed out, and he keeps moving for a couple more minutes before he reaches the end of the bridge, and it seems he's not the only passerby with the same idea, at There are about 5 people to arrive, and perhaps more will arrive sooner.

"Are you okay kid? You're bleeding" asks an approaching passerby.

"I'm fine, it's just skin wounds" Red says, touching the wound on his head. The wound on his arm can be seen with the naked eye.

"That's fine, press the wound for a few minutes so it stops bleeding" says the passerby to which Red nods and looks again at what is happening in the center of the city.

¨With how much fun I was having today with my little sister, I thought for a moment that this is a good place to live, that the previous attack on Xandar was an isolated case, or maybe I am living in the chaotic world of comics. ..?, If so, then there is no safe place¨ Red thinks to himself.

"There don't seem to be any large ships attacking, only the Kree fighters, it's impossible for them to achieve anything with so little firepower, but why aren't the anti-aircraft systems attacking them?" he wonders as he turns on his Holopad to search for information about the attack .

The media seems to be reporting that the attack is not on the planet, but on a specific building, who knows what they are looking for there. Stopping to see the Holopad when he notices that his little sister is waking up.

"Yellow, are you alright?" he asks, crouching down next to her.

"Red? I'm not feeling well" Yellow says with her head down.

He pauses for a moment, but it's normal to not feel good after being knocked out by an explosion.

"Okay, you'll feel better in no time," Red says with a smile.

"Now we are in a safe place you don't have to worry anymore" Red.

"Red...you have blood, are you okay?" Yellow asks concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine now, don't worry" he tells her to calm her down.

"What's going on? Why are there ships fighting in the sky?" Ask Yellow too.

"It's a group of thieves, it seems they want to steal something from the city, but I have no idea what it is" He says without going into details with her, it's not something a girl should be thinking about, at least not one who lives in a civilized society.

13 minutes after the start of the incursion of the Kree ships, a couple of ships are found taking off from the top of a building in the epicenter of the fight, other ships also begin to withdraw and disperse, activating their camouflage to help mislead the Kree ships. Xandarian radars, although some manage to be found, more are the ones that escape to an unknown destination.

15 minutes after the start of the attack, the planet's defense systems are back online, ready to fire on any enemy ship, the attack by the Kree ships is over.

Looking at the Holopad indicating to the civilians that it is safe to leave and seeing no more enemy ships in the sky, he decides to leave.

"Come on Yellow, can you get up? We can go home now, we'll go through the emergency units to check us out, it's just to make sure we're okay" he tells her, mainly worried about her.

He helps her up and leads her home by the hand, on the way they meet emergency personnel and asks for a check-up, in which luckily all is well.

Once at home, he takes his little sister to rest, she is very tired of everything they did and what happened next, Red is really not in the mood to prepare dinner, he orders delivery and also remembers to ask for the sweets that they could not buy for everything that happened.

He also asks for more supplements and by supplements he also means drugs. The Nova Empire as a very advanced civilization has developed many drugs, the ones that Red buys are for the brain, to increase its learning capacity, they are not those super effective and with great side effects, as they are for long-term use, only buy the Because they have minimal side effects, their usefulness isn't surprising either, but it's better than nothing.

That same night, Foreman Valdez calls he to ask he to go to work tomorrow as early as possible because he needs all the available manpower, the shipyard is full of damaged boats.

At dawn the next day he arrives at the shipyard and meets the foreman, before starting work he gives he some instructions.

"Sparky, keep your eyes peeled, the Nova Corps seem to be looking for someone and they are doing a strict check on all the shipyards and ports on the planet. Maybe it has to do with what happened yesterday" says the Foreman solemnly.

"Thanks for the warning, Chief, I'll be on the lookout" Red replies seriously and gets to work.

He has learned to use many tools on the job, they really make life easier, what should take several days on earth can be done in hours or minutes here with these tools.

He and his group worked inside the boat until the afternoon and we were able to practically repair it, the only thing missing is the final revision.

Sitting in the cockpit checking the components and activating each of the ship's functions, they managed to finish the job, although at that moment they see some big lights outside a few hundred meters away in another shipyard, it seems to have exploded, an accident? , at that moment disturbances began to be heard outside.

A bit disconcerted by the noises, the 4 in the ship go to the ship's exit to see what is happening, but they soon stop, the first of them to peek through the door... his head has exploded.
