[Saz]

?Soldier Sazuaa come forward.?

The non-transformer made his way through the crowd of soldiers and presented himself to a petite teenage girl, the general of the army, Pan. To the girls right stood a mischievous looking man who he believed to be the lieutenant. Sazuaa still hadn?t figured out how a teenage girl could become the general of a entire army, like all the other soldiers he was completely baffled when he heard the news that he was to be going into the war under the command of a thirteen year old girl.

?You called? Sazuaa muttered, bowing to his commanding officer. Pan gave the alien a nod, ?we need you to make sure we?re not attacked, so I?m going to send you forward a few hundred yards ahead of us.? Scratching her head she continued, ?take as many soldiers and one medic as you see fit. I trust your judgement, but don?t let me down or it?s not only your life you?ll need to worry about, savvy??

Sazuaa held his tongue; it had been quite some time since he had to take orders, he quickly remembered how much he loathed being bossed around, and it only made the matter worse that this time the commands were coming from a petulant little brat.

Glaring over the faces in the crowd Sazuaa rounded up a small unit to take with him and headed off ahead of Pans group.

Marching through the rough terrain Sazuaa and his unit came to a sudden halt. "Okay men, this is far enough." Sazuaa walked over to a rock protruding from the ground and sat himself down. "I'm tired. No doubt you lot are too. Let's take a break." There was collective sigh of relief from the soldiers as they collapsed to the ground in a heap. "Enjoy this time men," the alien paused and looked up into the sky, contemplating how the war will pan out. "Because chances are at the end of this you'll all be dead."

Sazuaa opened his eyes, acouple of seconds passed before the realisation that he had drifted off to sleep hit him. Looking down at his squadron he noticed the men had fallen into the same trap. The alien got up and began to whistle to wake up the soldiers. The starry eyed men warily got up to their feet. "Great, real professional. Did nobody think to stand guard or to wake me up or something. We're sitting ducks." He took in a deep breath, it was difficult to be too hard on them since he too had let his guard down. "I guess no harm done, this time. Anyway, we're way behind, we better get a move on."

"Sazuaa!"

The voice sounded familiar, it was the same voice that had called him out to the front of the crowd. Sazuaa turned around as the lieutenant Justinian and several troops appeared out from the bushes. "What do you want," Sazuaa asked in a aggressive tone.

"General Pan sent me to go and check on how you're doing. Seems you were having a nice little nap with your men," his eyes narrowed, a snarl forming on his lips. "You're a disgrace. I'm taking over here, you can return to the lower ranks. You should be happy that you got away with you head still attached to your neck."

Sazuaa stared at the lieutenant in silence, the humanoid stared back, neither willing to release their gaze. For a split second Sazuaa toyed with the thought of running up to the lieutenant and tearing him limb from limb. But on second thoughts he realised that probable wouldn't be the best plan with the troops more likely to side with Justinian than himself. As much as he hated it, there was no other option than to back down. With a grunt Sazuaa made his way over to where the other soldiers were standing. His anger still clear for all to see Justinain took up the blue aliens old position next to the rock and pulled a folded up sheet of paper from his back pocket.

"Listen up, because I don?t like to repeat myself. I have taken over command of this unit, Sazuaa has proven he is not leadership material and has been relinquished of his power. Pan has given the order to build a watch tower to spot enemies off in the distance, I have sketched up a rough plan of how it will look when it is completed. Time is of the essence, you've wasted enough of it as it is, so it's time for me to pick up the slack. Well what are you waiting for? Get to work."
