Chapter 12

In the morning the group was on its way to Atlas. Before that Travis managed to get the other truck out with some heavy machinery he found at the town. After the transport was brought back and repaired they went on their way. A few hours later they arrived at Mental. Once they arrived they saw what was the real situation in Atlas and Mental. Down in Mental Atlas solders and robots were everywhere and the fleet was stationed up above. They said their goodbyes to the people who got them there and pressed on.

"So how are we going to find these people?"

"I'm not sure. I'm gassing they must be up there in Atlas but we should probably ask around first to see if anyone knows anything."

"The duo went around Mental asking for information on the huntsman that arrived from Beacon some time ago but they did not have much luck. The best they had was the news of a group of young huntsmen and huntresses fought of some Grimm way back but that was it. They continued walking around trying to decide what to do next when they came to a dust store that was owned by

The Shnee dust company.

"I could use some more dust for my bullets," said Cassie. Red only stared at the Shnee logo, a feeling of rage started flowing trough him once more and out of nowhere he lifted his fist and punched the glass window shattering it. Cassie stood there in shock just looking at him until the shop keeper came out and started screaming at them. Cassandra gave the man some money to pay for the window repair and then dragged Red out of there.

"What just happened? Are you alright?" Cassie was concerned for her friend.

"I don't know. I think its getting worse."

"Listen, everything is going to be fine. Let's get you somewhere to sit down, after that we will ask some solders if they know something about Beacon huntsman." As they started walking towards a nearby park red lights turned on and Atlas soldiers running around and troop transports rushing to various parts of the city.

"What's going on? Asked Red and immediately he got his answer when he saw Grimm flying up ahead and running down the streets. He saw a group of soldiers taking positions nearby. "We need to help them now!" Cassie and Red rushed to the solders to give them any assistance they could.

The sergeant was getting his man ready for the fight that was about to come. "The first team with me, second team on the right, third team on the left, we need to keep this area safe! And watch out for any civilians."

"Yes sir!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

The duo came to the commander. "Sir, we can help. We can fight." Red said to the sergeant.

"Fine, we are going to need all help we can get, this is the biggest Grimm attack yet. Ready your self." Red pulled his katana out of its scabbard and took place at the front of solders with Cassie drawing out her guns and walking right behind him. For a moment there was silence, the soldiers held them breathe and then a pack of saber tooth Grimm came into view.

"Open fire!" the sergeant shouted. The soldiers fired at the incoming Grimm, they managed to take some down but more kept coming.

"Stay here with them," Red said to Cassie and charged at the incoming Grimm. He moved with such speed and precision which Cassie had never seen. One by one the Grimm started falling, being cut into pieces by his sword. When the final Grimm fell Red made his way back to the group of soldiers. As he did so he spotted some civilians that were hiding in the houses and alleys.

"More are coming for sure, we need to get these people out of here."

"There is a checkpoint a mile in that direction, that's where the bullheads and other transports are going to land to get these people to safety."

"Alright, we need to get these people there fast."

"Sorry son but you are going to have to do that on your own. My orders are to hold his position, the best I can do is give you some of my men to go with you.

"That will do. Thank you."

"Alright man, get those people in the troop transport we need to get them out of here, Pronto."

The soldiers loaded the civilians into the transport. The commander turned back to Red "Omaly and Briggs are coming with you, they will take you to the checkpoint."

"Thank you," said Cassie.

"Let's get going." said one of the soldiers. The truck sped its way through the streets, any Grimm that tried to attack it was quickly disposed of by Cassie with her revolvers. They made their way to the checkpoint just in time. The people made their way to the aircraft and were carried off to safety.

Red approached one of the soldiers at the site.

"Is there anything you need us to do?"

"Here no but guys in sector 15 could you assistance, they have taken heavy losses."

"Where is that?"

"That way."

"Oh no!" said Cassie "That's were Travis and the people from the village were."

"Come on we need to help them!" Red and Cassie made their way to the sector while fighting off any Grimm that came their way. Once they reached the site they saw the dire situation. The few soldiers that were left were fighting beside Odessa and Alexander but the Grimm were just too was laying on the ground injured, barely breathing but alive.

Cassie and Red ran to their aid cutting and shooting all the Grimm the could see. Red quickly made his way to Alexander.

"Glad you could make it to the party. Said Alexander" But we got this under control."

Cassie responded, "Sure you do if by that you mean getting surrounded by Grimm."

"I missed you blonde."

"Focus we are in a tight spot here. Any good ideas?"

"I could try my flame tornado move again."

"No its too dangerous, there are too many people that could get hurt."

Suddenly Odessa vice was heard "The trucks!"

"What?" the three shouted at the same time.

"Alexander, Red use you straight to push the trucks towards them it should slow them down a bit." The two looked at each other and nodded. They did as they were told and it really did slow the Grimms advance. After that Odessa came up with a plan of defense.

"Red you will take the front, Cassie watch the left side, Al watch the right side, I will watch the rear and you solders will take proved fire from those cars over there."

"Why should we listen to you? One soldier said.

"Do you have a better plan of action?" the solder simply looked at the ground and stayed quiet." Then, take your positions, everyone!"
