Chapter 1:
"Ace In The Hole"Sebria Desert,
Central Command Post
Night had silently fallen on the ever windy surface of the Sebria Desert. It was mostly a big sandbox with large rock hills … along with blood and bullets. The Rebel Fortress, the Vanguard, had fiercely held back the military forces for the past four hours, due to their advantage in high ground.
Also to the defense of the rebel's large circular stone wall, which blocked the military from launching a full-assault on the center of the fortress. Along with the many sharp-shooting snipers positioned on top of the great wall. Due to the heavy fire from the fortress' cannons, many of the military's soldiers were force to take cover behind large rocks or military cars and trucks, though they were quickly destroyed by the cannons' firepower.
And in those past four hours since the assault began, the military was already losing more than an handful of troops. This fact pissed Major General Hakuro to no end, almost breaking his binoculars as he viewed the battlefield. And even more anger at the waiting for reinforcements from the tank troops to break through the rebel gate. He was at least five miles away from the battle within the safety of the command post, one of his officers came before him to report.
"General Hakuro, Arsenal has just arrived, he's waiting for you inside your tent". He said with a shiver of nervousness, which clearly revealed him as a rookie.
General Hakuro grudgingly headed back into his tent, followed by the rookie officer. It held barely any light besides the small lamp on the wooden table. A figure soon emerged from the darken shades and grabbed a chair near the table and flipped it on the opposite side as he sat down.
Hakuro also took a seat while the rookie officer just stood, He forced a small smile to hide his anger. "Ah Arsenal, perfect timing as usually. We're in a tight situation, I'm sure you already know". He said.
Moving closer to the light, the figure known as Arsenal showed his face, revealing a man just reaching his twenties with furry muttonchops and wild hair toned with light brown skin. "From the way I've seen General, you seem to be having a little difficulty getting pass the rebel wall outside the Vanguard". He said with a voice of bestiality as he looked at Hakuro straight in the eye with a mystifying intensity, almost making the General sweat if it wasn't for his rank.
"Yes, as regrettable as I like to admit. We're still waiting for the tank troops, but there's been some difficulty, we have some explosives but we can't get close enough to use them". Hakuro said seeing how this little mishap might damage his reputation.
Giving off a animistic sign in response, Arsenal got off his chair for a moment and reached into his chest pocket, pulling out a cigarette. With the lighter he lit it as the tiny flame reflected an eerie glow within his slivery blue eyes. "I wouldn't worry too much about your reputation being tarnish General, It's not like you'll be that much of a lost". He said.
"What's that's suppose to mean". Hakuro said in a crossed tone from Arsenal's last comment.
"Nothing, just bring a few of those explosives, I'll give you your little ace in the hole … I have a idea". Arsenal said as he grabbed his gear and coat, heading out through the tent.
