AN: How did I get this out so soon?

Wastelands of GGO
May 16th, 2026

Team LPFM was massacring the Roman army like a fish in a barrel. 3 Kilometers away from where Llenn and her crew were fighting was the All Japan Machine Gun Lovers also better known as Team ZEMAL. The same team that pinned Llenn down in the forest near the highway in the First Squad Jam before getting massacred by professionals, they were out hunting to prepare for the third squad jam that hasn't been announced yet but could be any day.
The team grew a lot ever since the Second Squad Jam. From learning about teamwork, to dual wielding machine guns then to learning that conserving ammo was a good idea, they were working out strategies on how to deal with certain players such as Llenn, Pito, Fuka, M, or any players who ranked in the top 5 in the Second and First Squad Jam. Although they still enjoyed using way too much ammo but they didn't care the only times they would conserve ammo was when it was necessary like in events, but in the open world of GGO they didn't care but they still practiced, although idiots that didn't stop them from learning.
Despite being so close to each other to the point of being able to hear each other's gunshots, both teams decided to ignore each other since both of the teams were hunting, and it wasn't worth the risk of losing their hard earned guns.
"Do you think they defeated the boss they were fighting by now?" Asks one of the members of ZEMAL.
"Considering their skill and levels I think they should be by now." Said the leader.
"Well they're shooting an awful lot."
"Yeah, they probably got jumped by another beast and are trying to kill it." One of the men put burly hands in what looked like claws.
Everyone chuckled at the joke.
"But no seriously what is requiring so many bullets to kill, Fukas' been firing all of her shots for like what a minute by this point?"
"Want to check them out?" Asks one of them.
"At a distance of course, I don't want to fight whatever they're fighting unless it attacks us first." Said another.
"Alright, we're going to check on LPFM. From a distance." The leader said.
"""""Yes sir!""""""
They then left the area they were camping at, and headed in the direction where LPFM was fighting.

After walking for about 20 minutes they arrive at where team LPFM fought the boss they were fighting, and instead of them fighting monsters, it was a massive ancient army attempting to fight Llenn and Pitohui with spears, and shields.
After watching the team fight 4 to 10000 men, and are winning, well killing a lot of them.
"So should we help them?" Asked one of the members.
"They're fine, look they're massacring the boss? Boss's?" He said confused.
Right when he said that Llenn was kicked across the entire canyon right where team ZEMAL was watching them. They're leader was hit by the pre-teen girl in pink. Luckily he didn't die, but he lost around 10% of his health in the process.
"I'm sorry about that!" She said quickly.
Typically people would just fire at you immediately if they saw you. But instead it seemed like she was content on saving her bullets.
"Hey Llenn." One of the men of ZEMAL asked.
"Yes." She said while getting up.
"Do you guys need help?" He asked.
"Yes we do, you and your team provide heavy support fire, I would like to be within yelling distance of Fuka alright." Llenn said, quickly formulating a plan.
"Alright team ZEMAL is helping us fight these Romans." Right when she reported a dragon (Wyvern?) swooped in and began forming a fireball.
Team ZEMALs' leader took it down in a hail of 7.76 mm bullets, while dual wielding two M102 browning machine guns used by both the U.S and Belgian Army.
All ZEMAL cares about is firing their guns but even then they still helped Llenn, as if the Romans get close they could potentially kill Llenn or anyone else if they surround them and attack them from all sides, and no one wants to risk losing their guns so everybody started firing their guns at the Romans.
"Llenn I seem to spot something odd within the ranks." M said over the radio.
"What is it M." She said as she jumped down the rocks to get back into the fighting.
"I've spotted some sort of moving thing made out of rocks." M reported.
"Really well take it down!" Llenn ordered M.
"I tried my bullets just kept ricocheting off, the only other I could think that could destroy it is an Anti Material rifle, and we don't have one right now."
"Team SHINC is on their way. They have one so I'll call them to bring it with them." She said,
"Alright." Was M' response.
Then I stopped half way down to make a call, ZEMAL still moving to get into a prime position to increase the amount of Romans slaughtered.
I opened my menu, went to my contacts, and called Boss. After a second or two of waiting, Boss picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Boss you mind bringing that Anti-Material rifle you guys used in SJ2 because there seems to be some kind of rock golem among the army."
"All right we'll bring it."
"Also, are you guys almost home yet?" She asked.
"We'll be home in about five minutes all right."
"All right." Llenn then hung up the call and went back to killing.

During the call, ZEMAL got into prime positions and began providing heavy fire for Pitohui, and eventually Llenn.
Llenn could hear Fukas' Grenade launchers firing off in the distance. The sound of M' sniper picking off high value targets in their flashy armour. Pitohuis' photon sword cut through the Romans armour like butter, and it reverberated in joy as it's master fed it blood. It sort of reminded her of the massacre when 7 squadrons in Squad Jam teamed up to take out PM4, and later on team MMTM assaulted the cabin where Pitohui was unconscious and nearly died.
Then Llenn went out of her thoughts and quickly ran down to the bottom of the canyon to aid Pitohui to slaughter the Romans.

"It's the Pink demon!" Yelled an imperial swordsman.
"Charge my men, we are protected by the gods!" Ordered an imperial officer. Right when he finished his sentence, his head exploded in a fine red mist. His horse panicked and began to run off in a random direction in an attempt to get away from the fighting
The prideful imperial army began to break after seeing their commanders, being picked off and swatted like flies, by a demon in the walls of the Canyons.
The next highest commanding officer attempted to regain control of the situation and began giving out orders "Men shield barriers! We shall block their invisible arrows and determine where it's coming from!" He ordered, this gave the imperial soldiers enough confidence they could win with numbers.

As the fight between LPFM, ZEMAL, against the Imperial army. MMTM was also near team LPFM. They too ignored LPFM since they too were out hunting and didn't want a direct confrontation and getting killed with the chance of losing their hard earned guns.
But they too noticed the shooting that was way more than needed to fight a boss around this area.
"Hey do you think they should be done around this time?" One of the members of MMTM asked.
"You mean LPFM? Well they should be or they all got killed by the boss and were fighting it again, then they should be." Said the leader.
"Yeah, should we check out how they're doing? I believe their boss they're fighting was giving us a hard time killing it even with the help of a strategy site, and high caliber guns." Said another member.
Then they heard the sounds of more guns opening fire, it wasn't any of the members of team LPFM guns, instead it was the sound of LMGs' firing.
"Should we check on how team LPFM is doing against the boss they're fighting?" Asks one of the members.
"Yes we should, either they are fighting another team or they're working together. Who knows? And if they are, I want in!" The leader said.
They then begin the short 10 minute walk to where team LPFM was.
When they arrived where the gun shots were coming from, what they saw flabbergasted them. The only words that could describe the situation was "Slaughter, Romans, and Free XP for days."
"So boss, do you have an idea on what to do with this situation?" Asks a member.
"Well what do you think there are Romans down there so we will shoot them!" Said the leader known as David. Right when he said that a dragon flew up out of the canyon and over them. The dragon's rider quickly spotted them and attempted to attack them, but was quickly terminated by the team's firepower.
After killing the dragon they noticed something odd, they weren't disappearing in shards of glass like a normal NPC would, and it was bleeding when it hit the ground.
"Hey, is it bleeding?" Asks one of the members of MMTM.
"I think so." For some odd reason it was but he was undisturbed by it, his current thought process is the bleeding isn't real and is just a game.
"Is blood a part of the newest update?" Asks one of the members.
"I think so. But whatever it is, I think we should ignore it." Said David.
They then quickly left towards the bottom of the canyon, carefully hopping on rocks.
After jumping down the canyon they finally reached the bottom, there was blood flowing everywhere down the canyon since it was at a slight decline.
There was so much of it that some of it splattered onto their pants when they landed, but they ignored it.
Off in the distance they could see where the actual fight was taking place, around 100 meters away was covered in pink clouds of smoke so they couldn't see who was fighting but they knew Llenn was in the pink smoke. They could also hear the screams of the Romans, but then it was quickly covered by the sound of Machine guns, which was situated at the western side of the canyon's open walls.
At the top of the canyon was Fuka, and her feared 140 FLGs', then the sound of her grenade launchers firing, a second later the entire area under pink smoke was blown to hell.
"This is scary." Said one of the members of MMTM.
"It is but we should be glad they're not firing at us," said David.
Then they saw a man in Roman armour running alone, yelling something in a language that sounded very similar to Latin. Then out of nowhere his head exploded in a fine red mist. "What the hell!" Cursed one of the members of MMTM.
Then from the pink smoke cloud Pitohui comes flying out of the cloud seconds after the Roman got his head blasted off by M, she landed on her back, after flying for a good 100 meters and going up about 10 meters into the air.
She landed right in front of MMTMs' leader David.
"You need help Pito." Said David.
"It is an unusual request but yes, there's so many of them, especially the ogres. They are strong as hell." Said Pitohui "Also do have any extra bullets, for a RPK 12?" She asked.
"Uh. Yes I do." He answered Pitohui's question. He then opened his menu and spawned in 5 curved ammo cartridges. Pitohui took them gleefully, and reloaded her empty RPK 12 that's still hungry for blood.
"Thanks." She said quietly. She then got up and charged back into the pink smoke.
"She's crazy." Said a member.
"I know I fought with her back in the day." Said David.
