LOCATION: BANEBURG CITY

CURRENT STATUS: Invaded by the Raven Empire

FACTIONS: EAGLES AND RAVENS

The once peaceful big city of Baneburg has been transformed to an economic city into an ongoing battle zone; the streets have been littered with dead Raven troopers and Eagle troopers, making it end into an ongoing bloody standoff.

Buildings were in ruins and burning with absolute fury, the once smooth concrete roads have been shattered from certain shocks; various cars and trucks had been toppled over and were now covered in flames or covered in bullet holes and rendering it useless, and also the occasional gun fires in the distant and artillery strikes pounding the roads and sidewalks.

It was night, it was dark and loud...but not everyone decides to stay down and get shot on sight.

Inside in one of the complex apartment buildings was a group of Blue Eagle troopers taking refuge and turning the entire building into their temporarily makeshift base for a while until new orders from the main commanding branch has been received.

In one of the apartment's rooms, three Eagle troopers were doing various tasks in order to avoid accidentally sleeping in the middle of the war zone, I mean who knows what those dirty Ravens are planning up to next?

'Ed', the support trooper of the trio, was taking watch over the window in the living room with an emplace HMG turret and his 78 Eagle-type shotgun leaning against the wall besides him, despite his standard Eagle heavy ballistic armor and helmet set, he can surprisingly move quicker as if the weight of his outfit didn't exist.

'Eddward', the engineer trooper of the trio, was taking his time by fixing their Com-radio within the living room, slinged around his back was his Greaser SMG, Eddward adorns the standard Eagle light vest and helmet set with an additional belt for his tools, and he was not the quickest nor the strongest but he makes it for the team by being that one guy with the brains.

Last of the trio is none other than 'Eddy', the assault trooper, lying on the ash-covered sofa while taking a quick smoke that he found in one of the drawers and has the reliable RK-44 assault rifle lying on top of his body, also wearing the standard Eagle armored vest and helmet set except he use the coat rack in the living room to hang his helmet, he was the group's risk taker and the gambler and man with the balls…almost too bold.

A Few moments later, Eddward had finally placed the final electronic component within the COM-radio, causing it to cackle with an electrical humming for a few seconds before it was back to being functional.

(EDDWARD): "ED! EDDY! I GOT THE RADIO WORKING AGAIN!"

Hearing him shout out his completion on repairing the COM-radio, it made Ed looked away from the window while his hands are still on the HMG's trigger, and causes Eddy to lazily got up from the sofa and then he glanced at him as if Eddward just interrupted his train of thoughts.

(EDDY): "Nice work, genius. Now could you please try to contact some of our commanding officers outside of this damn hell zone of what used to be a city!"

So then Eddward begun to tune the COM-radio at the right frequency to central command while Ed and Eddy got out of their positions to see their genius friend at work.

(EDDWARD): "Come on, come on...work with me...20...31...11.8...wait, wait I am getting some signal."

All three troopers leaned on their recently fixed COM-radio, and then they all began to hear something from the other side of the COM-radio, even though the sound quality seems terrible at its current state.

(COM-RADIO): "*ZZZ* A-Alpha *ZZZ* Base here, o-over?"

That was the signal that someone is listening over their COM-radio, so Eddward began to speak out while Eddy behind him give a silent 'HELL YEAH' air punch to himself and Ed just casually listened to their COM-radio.

(EDDWARD): "Alpha Base, this is Private Eddward of the E-18 Platoon that were deployed in Baneburg, over."

Edd finished his line of speech to the COM-radio, and then they waited for another response, but not before Eddy blurted out.

(EDDY): "Please god almighty tell me that they are gonna send some huge ass back-up or a huge bomb that can cause a very huge explosion to get those damn Ravens in this city off our asses!"

(EDDWARD): "Hopefully they might send us some reinforcements rather then blowing the entire city to ashes including us and everyone still in it."

(EDDY): "It's not a literal sarcasm, double d. I just want it to become a god damn blessing."

(EDDWARD): "Alpha Base, can you hear this response, over."

Their COM-radio cackled again as its signal is really terrible at their current location and state, but before Eddy could let out another complain from his big mouth, their COM-radio suddenly lets out an almost clear reply to Eddward's question.

(COM-RADIO): "Y-Yeah, we can hear you l-loud and *ZZZ* clear, the reason the help you w-wanted seems to take time is because *ZZZ* someone infiltrated our s-s-supply base near in Baneburg, so pl-pl-please *ZZZ* bear *ZZZ* with us!"

(EDDWARD): "Loud and clear, Alpha Base, me and my other two Eagle teammates are taking refuge within an apartment building and sadly, if you are gonna ask if we even made any sort of progress of taking back Baneburg...well, everyone-OOF EDDY!"

Before Edd could finish his sentence, Eddy interrupted him by pushing him aside and grabbed the COM-radio's microphone.

(EDDY): "Sir, we just hit rock bottom and our entire battalion had been hitted hard than getting kicked in the balls and are now scattered throughout this huge fucking city and the fucking Ravens are gaining more ground while we lose the perfect advantage, so where do we even begin?!"

(COM-RADIO): "*ZZZ* who am I sp-sp-speaking to, over?"

(EDDY): "CPL. Eddy of the same platoon Eddward just mentioned minute ago, we gonna need to make haste before those damn Ravens can move any forward towards our position!"

Then Eddward taps Eddy's shoulders and gestures him to move over, Eddy grumpily agreed and decides to give the microphone over to him.

(EDDWARD): "As rude Corporal Eddy here might be, he did make a very certain point; we requested whatever you can send us over Baneburg as soon as possible, over."

(COM-RADIO): "Alright then, *ZZZ* we just r-received new orders from c-central command, while y-you boys wait for reinforcements, do whatever *ZZZ* takes to push the Ravens out of Baneburg and try to gather as m-many *ZZZ* helpers across the city, cause' we just received an aerial report that *ZZZ* Raven armor support units a-and air supports are now patrolling the streets, stay alert *ZZZ* until help has arrived, over and out."

The trio felt a mixed feeling of distraught and fear and determination, but this is their best shot of doing something that might give the Eagles a big fighting chance against the Reds, so Eddward took the microphone and spoke to it.

(EDDWARD): "We copy that Alpha Base, over and out."

And with that said, Edd turned the COM-radio off and wears it on his back like a backpack, he then turned around to see Eddy packing up some ammo boxes on the coffee table.

(EDDWARD): "Eddy, may i ask what are you doing?"

(EDDY): "Well, sooner or later this building is not gonna be safe for long, I mean have you seen the shit storm we just got ourselves into, we got new orders from Alpha Base and we are gonna plan on finding our boys into this city."

(EDDWARD): "Good point, but how are we gonna do that?"

(EDDY): "With your smarts and my cunning and Ed's firepower, we'll come up with something."

As the two spoke to each other, Ed was still sharp on the HMG turret as he kept on a watch on the streets below and the smoking sky above them, and then he heard some rumbling sound around the corner of the building down on the street, and when he looked down and looked to his right side, he saw a small squad of 5 Raven troopers and one battle tank coming out of the corner.

(ED): "RAVENS DOWN BELOW, AND THEY GOT A BATTLE TANK WITH THEM!"

(EDDY): "Shit, they are already gaining more ground and we are not gonna feel safe in this apartment for long, double-d you pack every ammo and supplies you can, while Ed and I will take care of the Ravens below us before we can even get out of this building!"

Since no more questions are being asked to Eddy; Eddward began to pack up everything they had into their bags while Eddy ran to the bathroom to get his SLAM-R recoilless anti-tank rifle together with its ammo off the bathtub together with his hanging frag grenades belt and quickly attached it to his waist.

Ed showed little hesitation as he let loose a stream of hot 30. cal bullets into the small squad below, causing them to take cover behind a car or behind the battle tank.

Then the Raven battle tank rotated its main turret into Ed's turret position, but before the tank could fire its shell into the apartment's window where the turret has been placed, a sharp rocket projectile suddenly came out from another window besides the window where the turret is placed.

The sharp fast projectile suddenly pierced into the tank's turret section and into the engine section on the back and caused it to explode in inferno and killing the two Raven troopers taking cover behind it by being consumed together in the explosion.

While their battle tank support has been taken out by a lucky shot, the remaining three Raven troopers behind the car burst out of cover and fired their respective weapons into the apartment's windows.

Ed continued to fire the HMG turret down below while Eddy beside him loaded another AT shell into the SLAM-R's back compartment.

Down below, one of the remaining three Ravens was suddenly shot in the shoulders before getting blasted in the head as he got blown back by the HMG's recoil power, and then another same sharp projectile suddenly came out from the same window and it shot through the car they are both taking cover in it by the gas tank, blowing both Ravens into inferno.

The barrel of the HMG's was smoking hot as Ed checked its ammo box that is attached to it, Eddy look back into the living room to see Eddward is done with packing up their supplies and is now ready to go out into the streets below.

(EDDY): "Ed, we are gonna need that HMG when we are out on the streets, cause we don't wanna give that to those dirty damn reds!"

(ED): "You got it, Eddy boss!"

So Ed then detached the HMG off of its emplacement and is now being carried by both of his hands, Eddy than grabbed a nearby used backpack to store it with ammo and supplies while he threw a big sack over to Ed to do the same thing before he gets his helmet on the cloth rack and puts it back on his head, Eddward however just carried a small portion of their ammo, but nevertheless, they were ready to move out.

When they finally reached the ground floor that leads to the outside street, Eddy suddenly puts up a hand signal that means 'STOP' to his two teammates, and then he cocked his assault rifle back in case someone is trying to take a shot at the trio, so he then walked towards the main door entrance of the apartment that they are about to leave.

(EDDY): "You two just stay here; I'll check if someone is outside, ready to blow our heads clean off in an instant."

(EDDWARD): "We are on mission to gather help around Baneburg, Eddy. Now is not the time to give some motivational death threats into our ears right now."

(ED): "Are we gonna get our heads clean off like a shiny plate, Eddy?"

(EDDY): *Rubs his forehead with slight annoyance* "Look, my motivational speech skills aren't that great and my leadership role is still a bit too scruffy, so to put it simply...you two...just stay here...while I scout ahead, got it?"

Receiving a nod from Eddward and a thumbs-up from Ed, Eddy then slightly opened the main door to get a peek outside; it was still a mess due to the war that wrecked it.

So with his RF-44 aimed down in sight as he now slowly walk out of the apartment, he then quickly looked left and right and up and down in case of enemy snipers or landmines, so after scanning his area for a small amount of good solid seconds, he then spotted a crashed news helicopter and run into it for cover.

Inside the cockpit was a dead rotting pilot and splattered dried blood is scattered across the helicopter's controls, but now is not the time to get shaken up by a dead pilot, so he signaled to his two partners to come over to him.

Eddward was the first to go as he points his DMR left and right for any hostiles and quickly dashed for the crashed news helicopter and taking cover besides Eddy, then Ed does the same with his handheld HMG and joined the others.

Then Eddy peeked out of the crashed helicopter to see an entrance to the subway just a few miles away from their positions.

(EDDY): "I'm getting a feeling that some people will use the subway as their hideout, think we can check it out?"

(EDDWARD): "A high probability, Eddy."

(ED): "Guys, do you hear those sounds?

This causes Eddy and Eddward to look around on where the sounds are coming from, it was a sound mixed with blades slicing through the air and engines growing louder as it gets close.

It was right on point when a Raven patrol helicopter swoops out of the corner of the buildings, its bright searchlight was on and was sweeping through the buildings and the streets below, side gunners ready to shoot on sight, this causes the trio to quickly make a plan before they get caught.

(EDDWARD): "Patrol copter incoming!"

(EDDY): "Ed, hide over that flipped dumpster. Double-d, you with me in hiding in this downed news helicopter."

(EDDWARD): "How about letting Ed set up an ambush in case if they found us by giving him the SLAM-R, Eddy?"

This made Eddy thought about it and in a quick few moments of thinking, he then hooked the SLAM-R unto Ed's shoulder and increasing the weight load on Ed's carrying capacity, but nevertheless it doesn't annoyed Ed for a single bit.

(EDDY): "Now get moving!"

After Ed gave a quick nod, he then quickly dashed to the dumpster pointed by Eddy that was not far from the crashed news helicopter and took refuge, therefore hiding himself away from the incoming Raven's patrol copter line of sights.

As for Eddy and Eddward, they quickly hide within the crashed helicopter and hoped for the best that they were not spotted.

When the patrol copter's searchlight was aimed at the crashed news helicopter, Eddy and Eddward stayed where they are completely still, and Ed also kept himself still as he gripped on the SLAM-R tightly as readies himself in case they took the chance to land and began searching the site which is their hiding spot, if it actually happens.

So after a minute of right about 1 minute, the patrol copter finally went over their hiding area and moved on to the other part of the city.

Inside the crashed news helicopter, Eddy gave out a big exhale of air for not getting found out while Eddward does the same except he wipes some sweat off his forehead.

Ed was able to exhale through his nostrils as the patrol copter almost discovered their location, but now they are able to move on as they all got out and met up together in the middle of the streets.

(EDDY): "They were this close to checking out the news copter, cause anymore than that. Then that will be the end of us."

(EDDWARD): "I agree, we should move quickly and reach for the subway station before anymore Ravens manage to spot us in the open."

As the trio went on to move straight for the subway station, they all heard something different this time...and this time it's sounds like engines on the ground.

(EDDY): "Oh, now what?!"

When they all looked behind there backs, it was a sight of not giving them a break as two pair of Raven gun jeeps came from out of the corner and spotted them at the wrong time.

(EDDY): "Well shit...get to cover!"

The Raven gun jeep's turrets opened fire at the trio except one of them went the other way as they both fired at the remaining two Eagle troopers.

Eddy and Eddward were hightailing as fast their legs can take them as 50. caliber bullets whizzed past their heads and almost scratching the sides of their body armors or helmets, and finally they took cover behind a wall that was not far away from the subway station.

When they were behind cover, Eddy took a peek outside the wall before more bullets came flying by his face, which he then replied by firing his own assault rifle at the two idle gun jeeps blindly.

As Eddy was busy trying to hold off the two gun jeeps behind cover and firing blindly, Eddward was about to back Eddy by firing on the other side of the wall until he noticed something missing...

(EDDWARD): "Eddy?"

(EDDY): "Whatever you're going to say, say it later! I need some support fire from my side!"

(EDDWARD): "Where's Ed?"

This made Eddy stopped firing abruptly and looked at Eddward's face that says it all while Raven gun jeeps are slowly breaking their cover apart.

(EDDY): "...Where is Ed? He was running with us seconds ago, how could you lose him out of your sights?!"

(EDDWARD): "Eddy, please don't put the blame on me in the middle of this fight! He was by your side when we were running for cover!"

(EDDY): "Look, how about we find a way to get rid of those gun jeeps before we go look for that-"

Before Eddy could finish his sentence, one of the Raven gun jeeps exploded in a fiery wreck and killing all three Raven troopers seated in it.

The other gun jeep was distracted with surprise as its allied gun jeep was suddenly taken out from out of nowhere and before they could retaliate, loud repeating bursts of exploding gunpowder appeared from their sides and immediately killed the remaining three Raven troopers on their gun jeep simultaneously.

This non-stop burst of machine gun fire goes until the last gun jeep's engine burst into flames and riddled with full of bullet holes.

After hearing the gunfire just stopped, Eddy then peeked his head out a little bit and completely saw two of the Raven gun jeeps have taken out and before he could step out of their cover, he then saw another figure coming out from behind the flipped destroyed semi-truck.

But before he could pull the trigger after he aimed at it, he quickly recognized who it actually was when the figure's clothing is blue and is holding a very familiar HMG by his hands.

(EDDY): "ED! I thought we lost you back there!"

(EDDWARD): *Peeks his head out too* "Good heavens, Ed! Please let us know if your are going to wander off without us knowing, and we can't afford to lose you now."

(EDDY) "Where the hell have you been? We could have used your help to take out those gun jeeps!"

(EDDWARD): "Can you please tell us where were you before the Ravens fired at us?"

(ED): "It's really simple, guys. After they spotted us, i made a run by that flipped truck and readied the SLAM-R you just gave me, then when i saw the two jeeps began shooting at your cover; i aimed, shoot, and ka-blooey to that jeep. But before the other one could-"

(EDDY): "You took out the last gun jeep with your HMG, i just saw it."

(ED): "Cool, huh?"

Eddward and Eddy both made an expression of straight faces as they both didn't want to question Ed's enthusiasm in the middle of the war.

(EDDWARD): "Well, atleast you made it back safe, Ed. For without you we could have been both dead right here."

(EDDY): "I agree with double-d. Now let's check the bodies for anything useful."

Before they could make their way to the subway entrance, the trio checks the six scorched and riddled dead bodies of Raven troopers for any ammo or equipments, but so far they could only additional salvaged ammo for Ed's HMG, more magazines for Eddy's RK-44 and Eddward's Greaser SMG, few flares, and an frag grenade.

Now they can get a move on before anymore trouble could pop up out of nowhere.

(EDDY): "Alright, guys. To the subway entrance we go in order to find the other Eagle boys."

When they approached the subway entrance, it has stairs leading downstairs but unfortunately it was pitched black due to power shortage.

(EDDY): "Ok, i will lead the way, so stay close to me and watch our backs and sides. Who knows what kind of people are hiding underneath the subway?"

Eddy brought out a pocket flashlight and turned it on before he puts it into his vest's pocket to act as their source of light, and then they all began to enter the subway below.

Apart from the flickering dimming ceiling lights of the subway, Eddy's pocket flashlight was their greater source of guiding their steps, since they heard reports that the Ravens are known to place random mines in any types of environment.

But after Eddy scanned the entire floor for enemy mines, there was none for now.

What strikes out the most is that the subway train is still parked in front of them, but for added bonuses since it has bullet holes and shattered glasses, so Eddy look around their surroundings and saw bullet holes on the walls, pillars, ceilings, vending machines, benches, trash cans. and bullet casings scattered on the floor.

(EDDWARD): "There must have been some kind of firefight recently in this area..." *Picks up a bullet casing* "Judging from this casing, it's cold...cold as if there was a fight here yesterday."

(EDDY): "Well, whatever happened here...it's over. Come on, let's if we can use this train to move around the city."

So Eddy moved for the train's doors and began to pry it open with his hands while Eddward dropped the casing into a nearby trash can even though it has been riddled with holes, and Ed kept an eye out for the subway entrance as the sounds of distant gunfire and explosions erupted from the outside.

After Eddy managed to open the train's doors, he was immediately greeted by a pistol to his face.

Then after that is a bunch of guns clicking and pointed out of the train's shattered windows and pointed both at Eddward and Ed behind Eddy's back.

(EDDY): "Uhh...shit...hey man, is this train taken or something?"

TO BE CONTINUED...

Finally, the first chapter is done, on to the next one...
