Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Measure of Soul. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DITF, Code:000, Cloverworks, Trigger and a few others do.
(Surface, government building)
Rex ducked behind a piece of rubble before he shot another rebel in the chest, he turned to see another Human soldier take a shot to his chest and fall dead.
"This isn't going well!" He heard from Kaiser before he shot another rebel in the head while another explosion went off.
"Thank you corporal, I am well aware!" He yelled over the communicator before he wondered where Zero went.
"You think they know about the peace meeting?" He heard from another wolf before he shot another rebel and got grazed by a bullet which pinged off his armor.
It still stung slightly, he grunted in annoyance and then clicked a handle to reload his Phantom Pistol and grabbed one of the 4 18 round magazines the weapons had.
He clicked it into his gun and then continued to fire at the rebels before another bullet grazed his side.
"I really don't care how or why they're here, their killing Humans and their dangerous… And somebody deal with that Moho Class, we're going to be overrun if we don't kill it!" Rex yelled before another explosion knocked him backward.
"Ok… I'm going to kill something…" He muttered while he slowly climbed to his feet.
(With Zero)
Zero stabbed a rebel in the shoulder before pushing him to the ground.
She turned to see Rex's Moho Class crash to the ground from a slash to the face before it was able to shoot it in the face with one of its canons and knock it to the ground.
"What are you doing, Rex?" Zero asked before another rebel trained his rifle on her.
"Freeze, lady… Your under…" The man started to say before Zero flung her knife into his head.
The man crashed to the ground, gasping in pain before he died. Zero grabbed the weapon and then continued to sneak around, grabbing the man's rifle as she did so.
(With Rex.)
Acer watched Carnelian crash to the ground again before it managed to slam its tail into the enemy Moho's face.
He continued to fire his pistol into the groups of rebels before a shot hit him in the leg, this one caused him to fall to a knee.
"Damn, just damn it, that hurts…" He muttered while he rolled and grabbed a rebel's rifle before firing it.
After 3 shots, it clicked empty and Rex sighed before tossing the gun into the head of another rebel.
He stabbed the man before a grenade landed next to him and threw him down the stairs while he groaned in pain.
"Can we please…" He started to say before the rebel in front of him collapsed. Then another, and another. She saw Zero with a rifle before a flying vehicle shot the Moho class.
This allowed Carnelian to grasp its head with its paws before tugging and tearing its head from its shoulders.
Then it collapsed from the damage done to it before Rex looked at the destroyed Klaxosaurs while the rebels looked at the wreckage.
"Retreat, we're regroup with the rest of the troops and counter attack!" He heard from the rebels while Rex turned to see more Human soldiers starting to arrive.
"Sir!" He heard from another wolf as the other wolves started to arrive with their guns drawn.
"Sweep the area, make sure things are fine and someone check on Carnelian." Acer said while he magnetized his weapon to his armor and brushed off his hands.
He winced as his leg bleed slightly while he put his hand to it and sat down.
"They really need to make better armor on our legs… Lucky shot…" He muttered while Zero took notice of the wound.
Rex pulled off his helmet and looked around at the destruction the rebel's attack had caused and sighed in annoyance.
He turned to look at Zero who looked at him with concern for a minute or so while he looked at her.
"Thank you for helping me deal with the other rebels… I've never seen them go all out like that… I still want to know how they knew about this meeting and were able to launch an assault like this so easily on this area…." Rex said while he looked at the rest of the wolves for a second.
"I want to have the entire area swept, if there's any rebels left to interrogate, bring them here… They ruined the meeting and I want to know how this was able to happen without anyone seeing it coming." Rex ordered and got nods.
He turned back to Zero and smiled while she bent down to look at hit and his wound which slowly started to stop.
He was happy Klaxo Sapiens could hear if their wound wasn't too fatal or brutal.
"Your still as stupidly stubborn and brave as always." Zero said with a smile.
Acer chuckled in amusement.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I'm sorry this chapter is short, I wanted to show off Zero getting into combat and Rex getting hurt fighting off the enemy. Next chapter will be on Wednesday or so and will show Rex and Zero talking to the Human Leaders and show a bit of romance. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
