GAIL: THE AMUNITION PLANET.

CHAPTER 70: Lake City.

Mary Sue slowly opens her eyes, getting a vague glance of a violently swinging chandelier as it pours dust over her. She finds herself laying on the floor, from which she proceeds to get up after somewhat regaining her conscience and picks up a nearby weapon in the process.

Little Green Beetle: "Oh, yeah! The Mary Sue Rifle. Do you care to further your character development, and fully explain to me where you got it from?"

Mary Sue: -grunts while rubbing her forehead in pain- "not now, Little Green Beetle; I really don't wanna think about it …it still makes me wanna throw up"

LGB: "those were a looooooot of penises, weren't they? I wished I was there to help. But you did it for her, and now we're gonna save a lot of lives when we deliver her message. Come on! We're almost about to reach MBA troops"

Mary: "hey, wouldn't it be great if your name had also something starting with T?"

LGB: "Oh, you'd really like that, wouldn't you? You fucking lesbian"

A radio transmission breaks in from a dead soldier's helmet: "Lake City's been compromised beyond repair; we can't take it back. There are too many of them! So we're going to be extracting you while we prepare a nuke in the hopes of containing their spread through the planet"

LGB: "it looks like we don't have any time to waste. Go talk to the troops I hear outside this building before they leave ..and, I wonder what they're fighting"

Little Green Beetle and Mary Sue notice something crawling on the ceiling and walls. It's night time so it's really dark, aside from the occasional flash light from an explosion. It's really loud everywhere, with gun fire and detonations going on. A human soldier can be seen firing from cover on a distant roof through a hole on the walls.

Mary: -Shoots as soon as she sees a red light appear in the shadows and immediately after that, some metal charts fly over to her feet as she looks down at them with a concerned expression- "what is it that we are facing?"

LGB: "Oh, I think you know what it is; it'll just take you some time to accept it"

She is swarmed by a small group of them (they are skinny and agile synthetic life forms that remain evasive until they decide to attack all at once. Their types of attack are throwing a shuriken-like sharp object [which they can only do once] and charging at their enemies with large blades that come outta their arms) until she fights them all off and proceeds to go downstairs; where she sees another kind of synthetic being enter the building while giving his back to her, as he's trying to get cover from something he's fighting outside (This being has a thick armor and an arm cannon that shoots small homing projectiles. His kind can also use elemental grenades [not this one tho]) after dealing with that, Mary Sue heads outside to find some friendlies with tanks.

Derk Wolf: "keep moving! We don't have time to deal with these idiots" –makes an orderly hand motion and climbs a tank, sitting on one of its sides-

Mary: "excuse me!" –walks towards him-

Derk: "oh shit! Human! What's your platoon? How long have you been here?"

Mary: "Look! All I want you to do, is to listen to this message about how to end this war"

Derk: "WHAT? ..a message from who?"

Mary: "…from Gail" –looks away, letting out a hopeless sigh-

Derk: "I have no idea who that is. Just get in that APC over there, and we'll discuss this later; this city is being nuked" –mumbles to himself- "This human has been riddled with dementia"

A random soldier yells: "SARGEANT WOLF! SOMETHING IS HAPPENING!"

Derk: "NO! not one of these things again!"

Mary: -steps back as she noticed the ground below her start intensely shaking while the building around that street collapse and soon the ground starts shattering-

Derk: "Oh fuck! HERE IT COMES!" –jumps off the tank right as it is lifted by a metallic creature emerging from the ground right below it and watches as the tank is launched very far away-

Mary: -starts immediately helping the MBA trooper fight off the thing- (it is a Drill; another synthetic creature that moves underground and changes the landscape drastically by making the terrain slide in its way. This is a giant enemy with a weak spot; his attacks consist of shooting a spike ball that grows exponentially when it sticks to something and just touching things with its body as it spins)

Derk: "Thank you, human; let's get outta here"

The next morning, Mary Sue and Derk Wolf stand watching the nuclear explosion that takes out Lake City from a safe distance next to a deployment ship.

Derk: "Alright human; everything you just told me sounds complete and utterly insane, but we have to give it a shot …if we wanna end this destructive conflict. I'll personally look into it; perhaps the birds have some sort of ultra-secret technology that will allow for what you said to be done. Now let's leave this god forsaken planet; you probably have someone special to come home to"

Mary: "actually, if you don't mind me taking this Tank… I still have a lot to do here"

Derk: "damn, human… I don't know who you are, but your attitude sure sends chills down my spine. Go ahead, you can take the tank" –walks inside the ship as it takes off-
