A few months had passed with us all working rather close and intensely together. The Dolls and Human staff have all become rather effective at offensive and defensive maneuvers. Even strength has become a fews strong points, like Kalina she now can make an IED grenade from a jar, nails, gun powder, and a remote wire spark trigger. Right now we're all just outside having some fun singing or having something else.

K: "A lone defender on an old and broken road
The fading ember of a long forgotten soul
I don't remember anything about my home
And I'm alone, blowing in the wind
Cut my teeth and do it again"
P: "I am dead, I am hollow, I am lost, yet I follow
And I fight the endless night to feed the demons to the flame
I am cold on the inside, I am cold on the inside
And my soul needs a flame to burn, humanity rekindled once again"
K: "The undead lullaby is playing in my head
We keep the fires bright to petrify the dead
A leap of faith and I am off to war again
And I'm an empty shell, blowing in the wind
Wipe my sword and do it again"
P: "I am dead, I am hollow, I am lost, yet I follow
And I fight the endless night to feed the demons to the flame
I am cold on the inside, I am cold on the inside
And my soul needs a flame to burn, humanity rekindled once again"
K: "I just can't wait to die, but before I get gone I'm gonna take you all with me
It's not my place to try to make sense, try to make sense, try to make sense
I am cold on the inside
I am cold on the inside
I am cold (I am so dead)
(I am so dead inside my soul)"
P: "I am dead, I am hollow, I am lost, yet I follow
And I fight the endless night to feed the demons to the flame
I am cold on the inside, I am cold on the inside
And my soul needs a flame to burn, humanity rekindled once again"
Chuckling at the looks directed towards my direction I noticed Scabs ping multiple signatures. Sangvis Ferri. Creating a Vibra-Plasma Greatsword Katana through SCABSAWS I looked at the Human staff, and Security Dolls I pointed towards the mainframe and Command Center.
"DEFEND THE CC AND BACKUPS! NONE ARE ALLOWED TO STEP FOOT INSIDE EITHER!"
Looking towards Helicopter Pilots, Heavy Ordinance Dolls, T-Dolls, and Driver's I chuckled.
"Sortie and defend everything the best you can. You may fall but you shall take many with you, Humans if you shall fall you will not be forgotten, Dolls back up now and prepare for Total Annihilation, your cores will likely break but your minds will be saved. Now fuck 'em up!"
With those words everyone scrambled and prepped to meet the invading Sangvis Ferri forces. Me and Pancake with two Dolls using a M134 Minigun and AA-12 Shotgun went into the largest section of the SF troops. ELID's in the area hearing the commotion and seeing so many "People" together were triggered. So it became hell on Earth with Sangvis Ferri, Griffin and Kryuger, ELID's, and Taskforce Wendigo going at it. A song came to mind so I sang and slaughtered as my sword cleaved androids and mutants apart.
/Days Go By Song by JT Machinima/
"Days gone, I'm living in an apocalypse
An outlaw surviving a pandemic, I need to
Keep calm, it hasn't been that long
Keeping up with my search, family first, stay strong"
Cleaving a Hulk in half I used the moment to bisect an Aegis unit. My sword mid swing sends out a shrill sound as it connects to the giant machine's shields before ripping through it and into the machine. Ducking and rolling into a front flip to avoid a Sheller's cannon shot. I sent my sword flying towards it and impaling the autonomous tank through the fuel tank.
Landing feet first onto and ELID'S face a black Desert Eagle appears in my right hand. Pulling the trigger the mutant's head explodes into gore. As the body topples I grabbed a Scout Doll by her visor using her as a shield while firing at enemies.
"Two years from the outbreak, no aide
The virus hit the world with a fist, Doomsday
This feral craze got me calling for my gang
If survival is a sin I'm the last great saint
I've been informed they're in uniform
Hunting by the hundreds, evil's coming in its truest form"
Discarding my shield as she does from multiple attacks piling up I roundhouse kicked Alchemist, one of SF's more advanced Dolls. Sending her flying in her distraction before she can evade AA-12's sensors and kill the Shotgun. M134 was entrenched behind bodies of androids and ELID's cover firing for Pancake as the canine tore into a Shielder ELID. Pulling AA-12 towards me she narrowly dodged a tree being thrown like a javelin.
Nodding at the Shotgun we covered each other, my Desert Eagle becoming a Desert Hawk, a shotgun I developed over the years. An Auto-Shotgun that fires shotgun shell sized magnum rounds. As it barked with each shot taken, hostiles fell with the American Doll and her shotgun constantly popping off as well. Bullets for the two Dolls weren't a concern as Scabs using small drones kept them supplied.
"Running up the numbers of the dead, yeah, they move in hordes
I'm not falling victim to the feast in this civil war
I'm in a world where the world stopped
I'm in a country where the hope's lost
I'm on the road to a new dawn
I'm keeping on, but the day's gone"
Reacting quickly I kicked the Shotgunner at my back away from my position. Alchemist and another ringleader, Archer, attacking at the same time. Blocking Alchemist with my gun I catch the bolt from Archer's crossbow crushing it in my hand. Watching the ringleaders I chuckled darkly before going on the offensive. Shooting Alchemist in the left shoulder blowing it off at a weird angle due to blocking her.
"Do you remember when the lights went out?
Where did you go, where did we go?
Do you remember when they came about?
Where did you go, where did we go?"
Yelling in pain and anger, Alchemist back peddled, creating a smaller stripped down Execution blowing a hole through Archer's stomach suddenly. The crossbow wielding Doll gasping and holding her stomach. The ringleaders looked at me and snarled for hurting them. Thus the dance began between us three blocking, dodging, wounding, and trying to kill the other hand commenced.
"Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember when these days go by?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember when these days go by?
I'm revving up my engine, not lettin' 'em
Catch up to me, sever heads, I'm dismembering"
Blowing a hole through half of Archer's right calf due to my shotgun being forced at angle. I headbutted Alchemist as she impaled a knife into my neck. Execution going off blowing an Aegis's chest apart as it attempts to strike M134. Archer putting a bolt through my right kidney, Scabs adapting and improving through their assault. Although all while choosing to let certain things happen as a means to lull the Dolls into a trap and to let me feel as if I will die.
\\Kalina POV\\
{Got a hammer and a nail, call it a ripper club
Teeing up a shot, bloody greens, hit a hole in one
I'm the only one left, doin' good for the rest
Amongst these savages, I'm out here giving it my best}
The Commander's voice came over the radio with the sounds of fighting on his end. Leveling my FN SCAR I looked down at its iron sights. I pulled the trigger putting a bullet into a Ripper's head as it approached an Engineer pulling AR Doll Galil from the halls into the Command Center. The Security Doll not letting up on her fire even with her legs blown off.
{This virus is viral and while the sickness is spreading
You gotta pick who's your faction, it matters who you are repping
Maybe I'm an optimist, but I'm not giving up on us}
Barret M95's rifle comes to life as the Doll brings an Aegis unit down with a shot through its core. An intern with dark red hair wearing a chef's uniform was pinned to a wall by a Scout. As the SF Doll let its SMG fire the intern brought a cleaver down through her skull. Dropping along the wall a Prowler pack finished them off with concentrated fire.
Biting my lip drawing blood I brought down a few more SF Dolls before a laser caught me in the shoulder. Yelping I fell back after using an IED trap down the hall blocking it off and destroying SF with it.
{Glass half full, I'ma find her after all of this
What good would I be if I gave up on the populous?
Saving who I can, I'm an apocalyptic colonist
Better yet, a meteorologist
Weathering the viral storm, asserting dominance
Raining from the heaven's like it's bottomless
Filling up the world, evil's flooded drowning all of us}
\\CZ Scorpion EVO 3 POV\\
"MORTAR SUPPORT ON MY POSITION NOW! CRAWLER SPOTTED SIX CLICKS OUT!"
The whining of a mortal shell echoes far above before it splits up and a cluster shell impact's the heavy duty SF tank. Scrapping it to pieces as the mortar team was bombed by a Helios Drone. Dealer-2 bringing the aerial drone down with the Apache Helicopter using a missile to blow it out of the air. Snapping my gun towards a Ripper after UMP I light it up.
{Do you remember when the lights went out?
Where did you go, where did we go?
Do you remember when they came about?
Where did you go, where did we go?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember when these days go by?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember when these days go by?}
Ducking behind a corner I took a deep breath before making sure my gun wasn't jammed. Seeing it still good to go I got out of cover running at the incoming SF forces bullets flying. Even as lasers ripped through my body I kept going before everything went black suddenly.
\\HK417 POV\\
{These days go by
Do you remember?
These days go by
Do you remember?}
My security forces held the lines towards the Backup Servers of everyone's Digiminds. The few Human staff who had been with us lay dead around the area with weapons laying beside them covered in blood and gore. Popping a round between a Stalker's eyes the Doll falls dead as FN-FNC blows a C4 charge sealing the west hallway.
{Militant enemies, lying through their teeth
Bioweapons hidden in their bunkers underneath
I'm stopping at nothing to bring 'em down to their knees
I've got nothing to lose, sickened by this disease}
A gas grenade meant for Humans being tossed in by an Aerial Drone filled the hall with toxic gas. Taking no chances a few LMG's and AK's fired into the thick gas creating a cloud. Violet fluids spraying everywhere with sparks as my subordinates left no room for dodging. Falling back into the server room I looked at the servers seeing that many are going red before turning blue. Signaling that Dolls have died and are ready to be restored.
{How many days have gone by?
How much time have we lost?
How many tears have I cried?
Gonna take what I can at all costs}
"Sixty and climbing by the minute…. So many Dolls and Humans are dead… this is madness but I will not let you all disappear."
As an explosion filled the hallway I looked at Stoner 63, Shiva, Mac-10, Badger, Ballista, and Mosin-Nagant who were with me. Triggering a device I began sealing the server's up behind a bullet proof and semi-resistant blast proof glass wall as a security measure. Sighing as the wall sealed the backups off we all backed up our Digiminds. Checking my ammo count I got behind a makeshift barrier and watched the doorway.
{Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember when these days go by?
Do you remember, do you remember?
Do you remember when these days go by?}
When the first sight of an enemy appeared we opened fire indiscriminately. Even as we were near dry we kept firing before moving into close combat with the SF forces. The Commander's lessons and drills carried us a long way till the last enemy died. Collapsing onto my knees with holes and gashes riddling my body, and my functioning systems slowly shut down.
Looking over my team, only Nagant is still fully operational. The white clad doll resting against her weapon as the bayonet on it dripped violet and orange liquids. She noticed my gaze and smiled weakly.
"Sleep Captain I'll see you soon…."
Chuckling weakly I fell forward, closing my eyes. Darkness taking me as my Digimind faded into darkness until I would next awaken. The Dolls who went to defend the Logistics area weren't pushovers, they were the Commander's chosen Doll's for a special team so I'm not worried about a body. They'll keep everything safe….
