The Vong troops appear and start to try to swarm the defenders in the trenches. Many are cut down before they reach the trenches, but there are many more to replace those losses. Mirdala and Nera, having gone through this before, do not show any signs of fear, but Safina, never having been in battle before, shows signs of stress and worry.
Safina (thinking to herself): "There's so many of them! Where are they all coming from?!"

General Kry'Stal draws her sword as Ivanova draws her lightsaber. The two female Generals lead their troops in a charge against the enemy. Suzan Kry'Stal jams her sword into the stomach of a Vong Warrior who gets to close. The Vong starts to choke on his own blood as it comes up out of his mouth. Another Vong warrior gets the drop on the Ta'alib General and breaks her fighting arm with a single blow from his amphistaff. Kry'Stal howls in pain and recoils. General Starkiller sees her friend in trouble and comes to her aid, cutting down the Vong warrior with her lightsaber.

Safina is nervous as hell, as she charges a Vong warrior. She manages to impale the Vong on her bayonet, and then shots him to finish it off. Another Vong charges her, and nearly hits her with his staff, but misses; Safina retaliates, and uses her weapon to slice through the face of the Vong.

Jesic's jetpack is hit by a Vong 'thud-bug' and explodes, but doesn't kill the vixen. As she falls toward the ground, Jag swoops in and grabs her in his arms. A Vong warrior with only one eye sprays acid out of the other eye socket at Nera as he gets within range. As Vong and Peace Brigade troopers reach the trenches, Kandosi, Salla and other combatants jump out from the tunnels and slaughter any enemy warriors in the trench.
Kandosi: Fall back to the next trench!
The Mandalorian, Ta'alib and Galactic Federation of Free Alliances troops fall out of the first trench and scramble to the next trench network in line, then dive out of sight.

Nera manages to dodge the acid attack, and fires at the eye socket of the Vong, creating a gory explosion of flesh and acid.
Nera: "Just when I thought the Vong couldn't get uglier..."
Mirdala, Nera, and Safina fall back to the second trench. Safina is covered in blood, though it is not her own. Upon realizing this, she becomes startled.

The blood on Safina is from a squad mate of hers, a young male Ta'alib who is barely clinging to his life.

Safina calls for a medic, hints of panic in her voice. A medic arrives, and does what he can for Safina's squad mate.
Mirdala and Nera check to see if they have sustained any injuries from the initial skirmish. They haven't, but parts of Nera's armor show signs of acid burns.

Kandosi trips on the corpse of a Ta'alib vixen who is headless. A Vong slams it's amphistaff into Kandosi's chest, denting the armor and bruising his flesh. Kandosi grabs the rifle of the fallen vixen and jams the bayonet in the Vong warrior, proping him up as he slowly dies. Kandosi dodges a blast from a Peace Brigade heavy weapons trooper. The PB heavy trooper falls to a sniper from Howlrunner Company.

Safina helps get the wounded squad mate to safety, hoping that the battle will be over soon; somehow, she doubts it will be. Mirdala and Nera are fighting a tough battle, nearly getting cut off from the rest of the group, but managing to fight their way back. It is getting hard to move around, due to the amount of corpses in the area.

Salla is cornered by a pair of Vong warriors and is about to become a sacrifice to their gods, when Kandosi jumps in front of her, taking the blow for her. He tumbles to the ground from the attack. A massive hole has been ripped into his gut.

Kandosi: S-Salla, if... if i don't make it... don't leave me on this planet.
Salla: Don't say that my lover! You ARE going to make it!

Mirdala and Salla reach the medical station, and the doctors try to help stabalize Kandosi's condition. Nera continues to lay covering fire down on the Vong.

The Vong continue to advance, despite their horrific losses on the battlefield.
Safina heads back to the frontlines with another squad.
Safina (thinking to herself): "There's no end to them!"

Kandosi feels sick to the stomach, but he puts up with it. There is a battle to be won.
Kandosi: Now that I'm patched up, can I please have my armor and weapons back?
Ta'alib doctor: I would advise against that.
Kandosi: Tough...
He jumps off the bed and grabs his 'kit'.
Ta'alib doctor: Security, restrain him. He isn't well enough to fight.
Ta'alib guard: Yes ma'am...
Kandosi: I wouldn't do that if I was you.
The son of Varick and Jesic Hadar takes down the guard without killing him.

Mirdala and Nera try to hold back the Vong, but they just keep coming. Safina's squad becomes isolated from the rest of the group, and she begins to panic.
Safina (thinking to herself): "This can't be happening, this cant be happening, this can't be happening..."
