"Hey, they stopped!"

Adam yawned and stood up, looking towards the gateway. Sure enough, nobody was coming out of it.

"What time is it?" he called over the radio

"Two a.m.," Chad replied. "I guess they're getting wise to something. That or someone finally got back through and told them what's going on here."

"Took them long enough," Jon replied. "What do you think is going to happen next?"

"Something different, that's for sure. Put the second team on the line, pull the first team back, feed 'em, check their supplies, and let 'em rest for a while. It's been over ten hours. When they start up again, we'll need fresh troops on the line, I'm sure."

"Got it!" Adam said, turning to his own people. He relayed the orders and, after bringing the fresh troops up, he sent the others back. Someone had set up a kitchen or something back behind one of the rises.

"Someone bring me back a bunch of food!" Adam called and sat back down.

"Why don't you take a break, Adam?" Chad called.

"Eh, I'm good. I want to see what they try next. I can eat and rest here just as well as back there, but the view's better up here."

"Suit yourself."

"I always do." Adam chuckled and settled down to wait.

Two hours later the next assault started. The demons were coming through the gateway now with shields held before them, large ones that looked to be made out of wood or something similar. Each shield had a team of ten or so behind it.

"Well, that's different," Adam remarked over the radio.

"Yeah, it's not a bad idea, except for one thing."

"What's that?"

"We can shoot at them from behind!"

As Adam watched, half of Chad's troops, and half of Claudia's, broke off and ran until they were behind the gateway, then started taking shots at the people behind the shields. It was harder to take them down, but they also couldn't come through in the numbers they'd been using before.

They did have some success; they got a small camp set up, and it was coming along well, if slowly, until the helicopters came along and shot the hell out of it, then another one flew overhead, dropped a large bomb on the structure, and blew it apart.

"I think we need to get some mortars," Jack called over the radio.

"Any ideas?" Chad asked.

"I know a place," Jack chuckled, "but I'm not sure how soon I can get them."

"Do whatever you gotta do," Adam told him. "If you need money or anything, tell Roxy I okayed it."
