I Don't own Worm or Arknights

"I know, but my father always told me that no matter how dire the circumstances are, a bit of humor will go a long way." Sif told the Man who simply let out a sigh.
"Guess you are right about that." The Doctor told the Lupo who simply let out a chuckle as she got of the railing and started to walk away when for some reason she stopped.
"Albert." Sif suddenly said.
"I beg your pardon?" The Doctor asked Sif.
"Your name's Albert, but I always called you Al." Sif said.
"Thanks." The Doct... Albert told Sif who simply nodded with a smile on her face.
"Anyways, I will be going asleep, so you around Doc." Sif said as she walked away and the Doctor simply looked at the departing knight.
In her office Kal'tsit was sitting behind her desk looking at an old photo, to the left was Sif in a dress, to the right was a man with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a tuxedo and next to him was her in a wedding dress both of them smiling as they shared a kiss.
Kal'tsit looked at the photo with a nostalgic smile, wishing that things hadn't gone as they did, and so a small tear passed through her cheek which she wiped.
After she finished her conversation with Albert, Sif walked back to her bedroom and as she made her way there her mind passed through the memory lane.
She recalled the fun times they had before Theresa's death, Albert's and Kal's wedding, Her finding Red after Babel reorganized into Rhodes Island.
And she recalled when Artorias found her on the streets of Siracusa, after he deserted the Ursus military in cold winter night as she shook due to the cold in a cardboard.
If anyone were to ask her what her happiest memory was, it'd be her finding Red, and Artorias taking her in.
As Sif made her way to her bed room she saw Red sleeping in her bed which made her smile a bit.
So she began to strip off her her jacket, gloves, sneakers and went to bed.
"Night, Red." Sif said as she kissed the younger Lupo's forehead, which made the ears on top of her head to twitch.
And with that Sif fell asleep, while Red hugged Sif's tail, causing the woman to look at Red with a smile on her face.
"Fluffy." Said red sleeply.
With the Rescue team
12:37 AM
"We've arrived in Chernobog guys, get ready, and do be careful there might be Reunion Patrols all over the city!" Called Pequod as he flew the Heli over the ruined buildings.
"Roger that Pequod." Ash said as she walked up to see the city, to see some destroyed Buildings.
"What happened here?" Ash asked wondering what caused that much destruction, If she recalled nothing on Earth had that much destructive power, unless a country has access to a strategic bomber fleet that can carry large payloads, but to know that a terrorist/Revolutionary group like Reunion can cause that much destruction, made Ash feel way out of her league.
"Perhaps some city militia stragglers along with Garrison troops may have gotten themselves killed trying to retake the city probably." Said Pequod making an Hypothesis, as Ash took a deep breath to calm herself she went back to the passenger area.
"Ok, Everyone get ready ETA to the garrison is 3 Minutes, get ready." Ash said she picked up her R4-C, and placed her M45 MEUSOC at her side.
"What do you think our chances are?" Asked Frost.
"Slim." Ash answered, honestly.
"Well... there's nothing that can be done about it now, we either get those kids out of here or return to base empty handed, and listen to Kal'tsit berating for wasting time." Said Scout as he picked up his air rifle and the Arrow quiver.
"Yes, we didn't make all this way for nothing just to return to the base empty handed." Tachanka said as he holstered his machine gun.
"Ok, let's get ready." Blitz said as he picked up his ballistic shield along with his P12 pistol.
3 Minutes later.
"Sorry it couldn't have been any closer guys, but I am almost at Bingo Fuel, with enough to make the way back to base, see you guys later, just inform me on the radio when you've picked up the targets." Pequod said as he landed the Heli in an open area.
"Don't worry Pequod, we will get them." Blitz said.
"See to it that you do." Pequod said as he took off to refuel.
"Ok so... Where can we find the U.S.S.G kids?" Asked Tachanka.
"You said that they took shelter in one of the City's garrisons, right?" Asked Scout.
"Yes, let me make radio contact." Blitz said, as he picked the radio and inserted the Radio frequency.
"U.S.S.G, This Rhodes Island Operator Blitz, do you copy?" Asked Blitz when all he got was white noise.
"U.S.S.G, This Rhodes Island Operator Blitz, do you copy?" Again Blitz asked as all he got was white noise.
"U.S.S.G, This is Rhodes Island Operator Blitz, Do you copy?" Blitz asked again, when suddenly some one answered.
"This is Leto of the U.S.S.G, we copy Blitz, where are you?" Asked Girl.
"We are..." Blitz stopped for a moment to see for a street name plate, when he saw one written in Russian, and he turned to Tachanka.
"Hey, Tachanka you know what the street name plate means?" Blitz asked Tachanka, who looked at the name plate.
"It means Tsentralnaya street." Tachanka asnwered.
"So... Central street?" Blitz asked him.
"Yes" Tachanka again snwered.
"We are in central street. Over." Blitz answered.
"Huh, that's one kilometer from here." Leto commented.
"Ok, so which direction are you, Blitz asked Leto.
"We are in south-east side from your location, again that's one kilometer from here, we are in a Large building with large walls which are covered in Barbed wires, and the southern part of the wall has a large hole in it." Leto told Blitz, to which the German nodded.
"Understood. Blitz, out" Blitz said as he closed off the comms channel.
"So...?" Ace asked him.
"The Garrison building is one kilometer south east from here, Ace Scout I want you two to act as our Vanguard and scout unit, Frost, Tachanka you are our rearguard." Blitz said which got nods from said operators.
"Alright everyone let's get a move on, those kids ain't gonna rescue themselves." Said Ash as she took the lead, while Ace and Scout went to scout the area up ahead.
Though non of them noticed the street camera.
Reunion HQ
"Ma'am, we have something that may interest you." Said a Reunion information soldier as he walked towards Maria who looked through the window.
"What is, Gerhard?" Maria as her subordinate.
"It'd appears that Rhodes Island Operators have come back to Chernobog." Said Gerhard as he showed Maria a tabled with the frozen images of Blitz, Ash, Frost, Scout and Ace.
"Oh, Rhodes Island here?" Maria wondered to herself.
"What do you suggest we do Ma'am, should we Inform Morningstar of this?" Gerhard asked Maria.
"Yes, though do make sure to keep tabs of their movements." Maria told Gerhard who simply nodded.
"Understood." Gerhard said.
"Well you don't have to inform me of anything, I already heard it all." Came Svaha's voice, causing Gerhard and Maria to turn and look at Svaha, who had a bored look.
"And what do you suggest that we do, Svaha?" Asked Maria.
"Well... Send in a few squads apprehend them along with the Stragglers, after all we want information out of them, not corpses." Said Svaha.
"Very well Ma'am, and who should we send in to apprehend them?" Asked Gerhard.
"Send in Artorias and his men, last I checked they was itching for a fight." Svaha told Gerhard.
"Understood." Gerhard said as he left Svaha and Maria to their lonesome.
"You think that Rhodes Island is trying to stop us?" Maria asked Svaha.
"We will find out soon enough when we have apprehended the Rhodes Island team." Svaha said as she walked out of the room.
"Oh, and please do get ready, we are going out with Artorias." Svaha told Maria.
"And... What of FrostNova and Patriot?" Maria asked her.
"I sent Patriot to liberate Work camps and bring the survivors here, and FrostNova? I sent her to raid Military Supply Depots." Svaha told Maria.
"Isn't that going to agitate the Ursus Military?" Maria asked Svaha.
"Don't worry, they are small profile military depots nothing worth noting, filled with some small arms, melee weapons, and explosinves, which I doubt the military would care much about them." Svaha told her.
"Very well." Maria said as she followed Svaha but stopped for a moment.
"What is it?" Svaha asked Maria.
"I have a feeling that my sister is already here." Answered Maria.
"Huh, who do you think that hired dear Ol' Elizabeth." Svaha remarked.
"Who, knows, we may find out soon enough." Maria said.
Elsewhere in Chernobog.
Two Reunion casters along with two Vanguards were patrolling the streets of Chernobog when they stopped for something.
"Do you hear that?" Asked one of the Caster as he heard a sound.
"I don't know Mihaly, it does sound feint." One of the Vanguard said when suddenly a Motorcycle jumped over them, and it's driver was nonother than Elizabeth.
"Hello boys!" Elizabeth said as she smashed her Motorcycle into one of the Caster, and then jumped off of it with her greatsword in hand which she impaled it into the ground, and suddenly red pikes shot from the ground which impaled the Vanguards and the remaining caster, and as Elizabeth looked at her work she heard some radio noises.
"To any units in close to the central street, this is Gerhard, you are to group up at the south east garrison of the central street. Gerhard, out." Came Gerhard's voice.
"Huh south east of the central street, huh?" Said Elizabeth to herself, as she picked up her Motorcycle and made her way to the garrison's location.
