Last time...
"This is giving me the something is wrong vibes alright" Neo said "Vikky, change your lenses on thermal"
Viktoryia did just that and what she saw shocked her
"The dummy is a Mirage! Its actually the civilian!"
"Ublyudki" Sanya growled, putting a bullet into the Cryo-Trooper's head, which they caught by surprise
"Change of plans, Jakob, do it now"
"Are you sure Sanya? We are gonna be 3 mins early, once we do-"
"I know but I'm not gonna let anymore of The Motherland's people die! Blow it!"
"Der'mo"Jakob cursed, taking out the trigger. He knew the risks of doing something like this, but as anyone in his position would say...
"Fuck it"He pressed the trigger
Chapter 9 - Pulkovo (2)
A Futuretech soldier suddenly stopped in his tracks as he was drawn to the sound of rapid beeping coming from somewhere nearby. Becoming cautious, he neared the source of the sounds. Before he could properly look at what he was dealing with, the place that he was kneeling down to look at suddenly exploded right in his face.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
"What the!" A Britannian nobleman said in alarm, hearing the sound of multiple explosions ringing out from across and around the Facility. All across the Facility, strategic locations and structures were being blown to pieces by Jakob's explosions. The CEO of Futuretech narrowed his eyes at the scene of flames rising up from different locations around their Facility. He turned towards the Cryo-Trooper beside him "Escort the VIPs to their emergency shelters, and scramble our forces to intercept the enemy, lock this base down and activate our Defensive turrets"
"Yes sir" The Cryo-Trooper nodded as he and his buddy went about to do their assigned job
Prison Location
"Go loud!" Sanya screamed into her radio, firing a few bullets at some Soldiers, who duck to cover. The soldiers revealed themselves from cover, firing their "Àres-16" rifles at Sanya, who duck down behind her cover. Ivan duck down behind his own cover, and aiming his weapon fired a few rounds at the exposed head of the killing him.
"Ivan! Get the Civilians out of here! Now!" Sanya shouted, throwing a grenade at them. The soldiers ran out of their covers, but this gave Sanya the opportunity to gun them down before they could get to their desired cover. More Britannian and Futuretech Soldiers rushed into the prison area. The first few soldiers to rush in, were taken out by Sanya's grenade, but those behind them quickly rushed in behind cover. Ivan fired a few rounds, taking out two Futuretech before hitting cover.
"But-!" Ivan tried to say, but Sanya shouted "Ivan just Go!"
Ivan reluctantly nodded as he went to help the civilians out of the facility.
Outside, near front gates
"Fuck!" Jakob Cursed as he slid down into cover behind some steel crates. He was being pin down by five Britannian Soldiers and two Defense turrets. After pressing the switch, he immediately booked it, getting as far as the front gate, where a squad of Britannians and two Defense turrets awaited him. As soon as they began firing he immediately hit cover. Taking out his two Uzis he exposed himself for just a few seconds, as he fired off some rounds into a Soldier's chest before hitting cover once again as the hail of bullets returned. A Britannian soldier walked up to the steel crates, his weapon aimed, only to drop dead as a bullet went through his head.
"Sniper!" the other britannian soldier screamed as he hit cover. A second after he shouted this, another soldier was taken out. The remaining Britannians scrambled for cover behind their own form of cover. Jakob would have used this oppurtunity to kill them, but the turrets are proving to be a problem at the moment, not to mention that his cover is slowly being chipped away by the bullets employed by the turrets. Any more longer and he will be shredded meat. However, much to his relief, help arrived in the form of Chernabog smashing through the tower that held the turret. Without its support the turret simply fell.
The Soldiers turned their attention towards the new threat, pulling the triggers of their grenade launchers, located underneath their rifles, sending grenade shells impacting into Chernabog's This armour. Chernabog didn't seem fazed by the attack, and neither was Alexei, who operating inside his personal Frame. Without blinking, he swung Chernabog's arms out, swatting away the Britannians like flies aa they reloaded their launchers. The front gate suddenly blew up into smoke and flames as T-34 tanks rolled in through the destroyed gate, following behind the mechanical machines of war were the volunteers, emitting battle cries from their throats as they charged in. Jakob got out from his cover and joined the main force in pressing the attack. The wall beside the hole that Chernabog came through was suddenly destroyed as Svarog: Nazar's personnel Frame came busting through.
Svarog, Nazar's Knightmare frame was much smaller than Chernabog, standing 3 inches shorter than the massive Frame itself, but unlike Chernabog's bulky and armoured design, Svarog was much sleeker in design, allowing for faster and better agility and speed. It was painted red and black in colour.
"Nazar" Alexei spoke to the much smaller frame "About time you catch up"
"Shut it" Nazar commented "Now lets destroy this place and get home for a nice drink"
"Whoever kills the most then, has to pay for the drinks!" Alexei declared, as he manuvoured his Frame to go forward.
"Hey!" Nazar shouted, following suit. As they advanced forwards, high above, they were joined by multiple TwinBlade attack helicopters which flew above their heads, providing support for the advance. The civilians that escaped were being escorted by some of the volunteers while others were fighting the Infantry of the Britannians.
Facility
"Jean, come with me" Shin ordered his companion. Jean conplied and followed suite behind Shin
"Why? Don't we need to help escort the people out of here?" Jean questioned
"Yes, but with our forces in disarray, we wont stand a chance any moment now, we need to go and assist with the battle before the enemy overruns us while we are still vulnerable"
"Understood" Jean nodded
Outside
The Britannians soldiers and Futuretech's own private military forces found themselves being pushed back by the advancing force of the Red Army spearheaded by Alexei in his Knightmare Frame. Forced on the defensive they fought back with force, but with the explosions from earlier crimpling most of their equipment and structures, and the switftness of the Red Army, proved to be dificult to contain them as they pushed them back. Now they were forced to pull back
"Need assi-AAAHH!" A britannian soldier shouted into his radio, only to scream as th place where he was staying, which was behind an Apc, was blown to bits by a T-34. It swiveled its gun to the left, only to be destroyed. The purpetrator was in fact a FutureTech Centurion Main Battle Tank. Behind the tank FutureTech soldiers and Cryo-Troopers and Cryo-legionnaires; more powerful versions of the Cryo-Trooper rushed out from behind the tank to help reinforce the defense.
Neo and Viktoryia, who had moved down to help the Red Army were supoorting with their sharpshooting skills. Neo grinned as she watched through her scope as another soldier went down with a bullet through the head.
"45" Neo announced, taking the mag out from her rifle
"50" Viktoryia said, shooting another man in the head "Now 51"
"Cheater" Neo retorted
"Jealous" Viktoryia shot back
"This is Vivian of 2nd company! We are under-Ahhhh!"
"Huh? Vivian? Do you read me?" Neo said on her radio "Vivian what happened!?"
"There are two Knight- Uagghh!"
"Whats happening!?" Neo said to her partner
"I dont know" Viktoryia answered "Most likely Vivian has been outflanked and slaughtered"
"Shit!" Neo cursed "Warn Alexei!"
"Already did, the message has been forward to him" Viktoryia told her "Perhaps we should get to a better position, it will help out a lot more"
"Sounds like a plan"
With Alexei, Center
"Get the Anti-Tank rifles ready!" Alexei ordered on his radio. The volunteers rushed to the Apc aa they got out the anti-tank rifles from the back.
While these rifles may not be able to pierce a tank's armour with a bullet or two, it could still do massive damage to a Knightmare's joints and weak spots, so these Anti-Tank rifles were reconfigurated and upgraded into the very first Anti-Knightmare rifle; Ivanov PTRS-12, which its design are derived from the Simonov PTRS-41 are specially made to deal heavy damage to a Knightmare Frame.
"Here they come!" A volunteer shouted as a group of Sutherlands arrived, with two white and gold Gloucesters armed with vibroswords accompanied them.
"So these are the ones that destroyed Vivian's Company?" Alexei muttered shaking his head. "Aim for the joints" he told his volunteers "Bring them down"
"Da!" At once they began firing the Anti-Knightmare rounds at them. The Gloucesters were the first to act, moving out of the way as the bullets impacted against the arm joints of two of the Sutherlands, either blowing their limbs or disabling them.
The remaining Sutherlands began firing their rifles at the enemy Infantry, forcing them to take cover, as they took casualties from the opening volley. The Volunteers were soon reinforced by a Squad of Grizzlys, which began firing on the Sutherlands. Behind them were more Volunteers who went ahead and joined in on the fight.
Chernabog smashed its armoured fist into the head of the Gloucester, making the machine recoil back from the punch before being punched in its chest, putting a small dent on it. From within the Gloucester which was facing off against Chernabog, Shin growled in annoyance.
"Shin! Are you alright!?" Jean said over their comms.
"I'm fine, this Knightmare is giving me trouble anyways" Shin answered, glaring at the monstrosity in front of him
"Same. My opponent seemed very experience, and judging by their design, it seems that we are dealing with their elites" Jean deduced, blocking a left jab from Svarog
"Seems so, how long till reinforcements arrive?" Shin asked Jean
"20 mins for reinforcements, 5 mins for Britannian Air support, but FutureTech is mobilising their air support, and they are inbound. It is small but-"
"-It'll do for now. What matters is that we need to hold them back until the main air strike arrives"
"R-roger" Jean nodded
With Alexei
"Are you sure, you don't want to pull back now?" Illya asked him. "I know that Mira is holding the FutureTech Air drones back with her Corroder but-"
"I'm sure Illya, besides we came here to destroy this facility" Shin told her as he manuvoured Chernabog to dodge some rockets.
"And liberate the civilians" Illya reminded him
"Yes, but also for intelligence. I had Sanya and Ivan go and download any information that they can gather on the computer drives" He made Chernabog smash a Sutherland's head before tripping it over its front. He then smashed the cockpit, killing the man inside
"FutureTech ain't gonna let something like that off ya know""I know, which is why I'm going down to help"
"You can't!" Illya objected "Your a priority one target! If they see you-!"
"I'll be fine Illya" Alexei assured her "Besides, I have my Geass to help"
"You can't always rely on something dangerous like that""But what choice do we have anyways?" Alexei said, tearing an arm off another Sutherland before punching it in the chest, ripping out some wirings as its pilot ejected just in time as it exploded.
"I know, just be careful" With that the transmission was cut.
With Sanya and Ivan"Come on!" Sanya shouted to Ivan as they ran past the Volunteers towards the nearest door. They were sucessful at helping push back the Britannians to the Port, but that all changed when those Cryo-Copters appeared, and to their surprise and shock shrunk their Tanks down into the size of a large dog, and what makes it worse was the barrage of Mortars being dropped down upon them.
Sanya and Ivan dodged and weaved past the explosions as the Mortars continue to fall down from the skies. Ivan ran past a Volunteer who had his leg blown off, and naerby a Mortar shell landed into a group of Volunteers, sending them flying.
It wasn't long until they reached the door. Sanya was quick to kick it down and quickly entered the building.
"Come on!" Sanya said to Ivan "We can use this to get inside the headquarter, there should be an underground escape route should the occupants be trapped here"
Ivan and Sanya looked around the building for the secret hatch until Ivan found it behind a desk. He and Sanya were quick to crawl inside before they were spotted by anything.
