The Agedai had sent a second and more powerful fleet to Univa. The first one was a mere trifle. Outgunned and outnumbered, the situation was getting bleak for the humans.
Conrad led his squad across the small town of Karvos. The first attack had been repelled, however, the second wave was coming soon.
Taking up positions behind a wall, Squad Bravo Three waited with bated breath for the enemy.
Suddenly, an army of Agedai could be seen swarming over the hills. Reloading their weapons, the human forces took cover behind the broken walls of the town and prepared for the oncoming onslaught.
Just as the first line of Agedai troops came within 500 meters of the trenches, the humans mercilessly opened fire with their fearsome WOR-02 heavy machine guns. Firing at a million rounds per minute, these beasts sure packed a heavy punch!
The bullets slammed into the Agedai, falling many. However, the Agedai had air support. The humans didn't.
Agedai Type-43 Infantry Support Aircraft, known as Hawks, swooped down and wreaked havoc with their plasma cannons. The unfortunate machine gunners were targeted. They did not stand a chance against the Hawks. The tide of the battle was now turning in favor of the Agedai.
As if that was the cue, Squad Bravo Three raised their guns above the wall and unleashed their own barrage of bullets at the Agedai. Similar Sentinel squads did the same from differing positions throughout the area. Some charged the Agedai successfully, sustaining only minor casualties.
Caught off guard by the sudden Sentinel attack, the Agedai were soon overwhelmed by the combined human effort and retreated.
After a few days of fighting between the two opposing sides, the Agedai began slagging a few targeted areas. Slagging was the act of reducing a planet's crust to molten slag. The Agedai had invaded many human-occupied worlds successfully by slagging them.

The city of New Berlin was presently under attack and Squad Bravo Three were sent to help in the defense and evacuation process. Agedai forces were trying to storm the city and massacre the entire population. Civilian evacuation aircraft were being shot down like flies
Once their Dastro-2 Helicarriers landed, Squad Bravo Three moved into action. Half of the team, led by second-in-command, Shaun-129, were sent to aid in the defending the escaping civilians.
Conrad and his team were assigned to help the UWSA forces repel the Agedai crack troopers that were sent to kill every human in the city. They hoped to hold off the enemy long enough for all the civilians to evacuate.
When Conrad's team finally caught up with the UWSA soldiers, they were assailed by a team of Agedai crack troopers and Hawks. While the rest of the humans fired back, Conrad slipped away with two Marines, entering a sewer passage that would take them behind the Agedai team.
...
Shaun-129 and his team were engaged in a firefight with some Agedai troopers that had just killed five civilians and wounded ten more. Covering the medical personnel, the UWSA soldiers erected barriers to act as cover.
Shaun picked up an Agedai pulse grenade that had landed next to him and hurled it back. The grenade detonated and blasted a few unfortunate Agedai to bits. Raising his MAR-32, he began systematically killing off those Agedai who were not protected by their cover.
When it became apparent that their current tactic was not working, the Agedai began charging the UWSA soldiers. At this time, the humans rose above their cover too and began firing at the Agedai. The Agedai soldiers' shields were able to hold off at first, but the UWSA forces' firepower soon overwhelmed their shields and the Agedai were forced to retreat back to cover.
...
Conrad and the two Marines had already sneaked up on the Agedai crack team. Conrad's combat made short work of three Agedai while his two companions mowed down the Hawks with gunfire.
No aware of the second threat that had just crept up on them, the Agedai troopers activated their Active Cloak, making them invisible. This was what Conrad had expected, but he underestimated their ability.
Almost immediately, Conrad's two companions were impaled on energy swords. Conrad ducked low, just in time to evade a decapitating blow. Kicking out, Conrad felt the Agedai stumble backwards. Raising his gun in the direction he had kicked the Agedai, Conrad opened fire, killing that Agedai and deactivating his Active Cloak, making the body visible.
Initiating his helmet's infrared HUD display function, Conrad could now detect his enemies. from their heat signatures. By this time, the UWSA soldiers had stopped firing to avoid hitting Conrad.
Now that the Agedai troopers could be seen, the job was made so much easier for Conrad. Dodging another energy sword, Conrad roundhouse-kicked his assailant and ended his life with a short burst of bullets from his TYU-23 assault rifle. Rolling to the side to avoid a plasma bolt, Conrad simultaneously tossed an Instant-Detonate Grenade at the Agedai standing in the middle of the group. The explosion killed three Agedai immediately, leaving the rest severely wounded. The UWSA forces then advanced and put the surviving Agedai soldiers out of their misery. Knocked off his feet by the blast, Conrad took time to recover and was helped onto his feet by the head of the advancing UWSA forces, Commander William Pallus.
With the Agedai team dead, the UWSA forces advanced, moving to meet the new wave of Agedai forces that had swept into the city.
