North Asian region (Formerly Mongolia)

BGM: Resistance: Retribution OST - Bohn

Chaos.

It was the only thing that could describe the situation.

Among the haze of smoke and gunfire, the stench of strange-looking dead bodies, a God Eater was fleeing from their enemy, or rather, enemies. The mission was supposed to be a simple recon mission to see what happened in what was formerly Russia, ever since Fenrir's Russian Branch went dark in the first few months of the year. The Far East and North Asian branches were dispatched by the HQ to check on the reports sent to them prior to the Russian Branch going silent. What they found was not Aragami, but something else.

The God Eater in question was none other than God Eater Recruit Alisa Illinichina Amelia. The plane bringing her and the rest of the 1st Unit to the location was shot down mid-flight. Fortunately, they were equipped with parachutes since they were supposed to make an airdrop into the area. Interestingly, they were advised to tightly wear gas masks during the mission. Why, however, was never said to them. What was certain at this very moment was that she had to RUN.

Red energy bolts were fired at her as blood-curdling screeches were directed at her. She lost her radio, so calling help from her other teammates was not an option. Looking back at her assailants, she could make out despite the blur that they were humanoid-looking. She could feel the ground shake, as if something big and heavy was coming. It was none other than a Vajra Aragami.

Jumping from a cliff in the snowy, rocky, mountainous region, it landed right in front of her, growling as it did.

"Der'mo!"* she cursed as she slid under it. The Vajra roared as it noticed her and gave chase. As she ran, she was wondering where the rest of her teammates were. Especially their leader.

"Who is shooting at me?! Are they the ones who shot us down?!" she thought as the Vajra was still tailing her.

"Kota...Soma...anyone!? Where are you?!" as she thought as an explosion blew Alisa off. She flew a good 15 meters before falling into a pile of snow. The Vajra was looking for her. Alisa decided to take ahold of her God Arc and prepare herself for the unavoidable fight. But in the distance, she saw what looked like a large, metallic, bipedal object lumbering towards her and the Vajra. It started getting closer, the mechanical sounds of it getting louder. It's noise attracted the attention of the Vajra.

"What the hell is that?! Some kind of Quadriga?" She ran behind a rock nearby.

A battle ensued between the Aragami and the mecha. As the Vajra charged, the mecha opened fire with an automatic machine gun that fired blue laser bolts. It heavily damaged the Vajra, stopping the beast. It's "cape" had been ripped severely and many of it's body parts were heavily unbound. It tried to perform a pounce, only for the creature to fire an orange energy missile at it. Upon impact, the Vajra's head exploded. The body of the beast fell to the ground and the mecha moved closer and fired a barrage of orange energy missiles at it, messily disintegrating the remains.

"Wha-? How did that thing kill the Aragami so quickly? Is it...is it armed with God Arcs?!" Alisa's thoughts were cut short when it fired a missile in her direction, sending her flying again. Unfortunately, she was knocked out by the impact as she landed hard.

The sound of mechanical stomping getting louder was all she heard.

"Blyad.* It's getting closer...I'm sorry...father...mother...everyone...I've failed...as a God Eater..." As she was preparing to accept her impending doom, she could hear a helicopter's sound. More gunfire erupted as the helicopter got closer, followed by an explosion. The mecha fell with a very large ruckus as it fell apart from the damage.

"I've found one of the God Eaters," a voice said. It sounded like it was being spoken through a filter, leaving Alisa unable to distinguish its gender. Though she could distinguish a Northwest Europe Branch accent.

"C'mon now. Let's get you out if here before those gorillas find us," the same voice said. She could feel her God Arc, covered in some type of cloth, get placed over her chest and being bridal carried to somewhere. She could only get a glimpse of her savior: a man wearing a black helmet with an incorporated gas mask. All other details she couldn't make out due to how blurry her vision was. She was put down on something metallic, presumably the helicopter's interior.

"Is that all of them?" A voice that sounded like it was coming from a radio asked.

"Affirmative. We got the last one, the Russian girl. Now let's go, pilot!" Her savior said. As he turned to close the doors, she noticed a logo on the back of his jacket. It looked like the Fenrir logo, but the wolf had 4 eyes and it had larger fangs. An assault rifle and a Blade-Type God Arc were arranged below it in a skull and crossbones pattern. There was also some lettering on the back of his helmet. It read: FSRPA.
