Capital of Xadia
"Comrade, will Cherno Alpha be upgraded, we would like long range weaponry." Sasha said.
"Oh sure, i'll put it in with the repairs." Onya said.
"Wonderful comrade, you have drink with us later da?" Aleksis said.
"W-well I don't know about that, I have a lot to work on." Onya said.
"Come on, little break never hurt anybody." Sasha said.
Onya was feeling uneasy when these so called 'Russians' talked to her, she felt like they could kill an elite group of Elves with just their voices alone. Before she could speak she was thankfully saves by one of the other pilots. "Hey leave her alone, she's had a rough day." Katie said.
"Very well, we bring drink to you." Aleksis said. They then left laughing and went to their room to relax. Katie walked over and patted Onyas shoulder.
"You okay?" Katie said.
"Yeah, the humans from the other world are more terrifying than the ones we have here." Onya said.
"They're actually teddy bears once you get to know them, they just want to be friends." Katie said.
"Yeah, but being that I have been raised to resent humans makes it a challenge." Onya said.
"Well… think it as one of your projects." Katie said.
"I don't know, I feel like I can't do it." Onya said.
"Oh please, you made two jaegers, how hard is it to make friends?" Katie said.
"I guess you're right, i'll go later and have a drink later then." Onya said.
"That's good, just go easy on the vodka." Katie said. "It'll leave a bad hangover."
"Okay, I should get back to work now." Onya said.
"See ya." Katie said.
Campsite
Abby woke up to the sound of giggling, she wasn't thinking who it was but she wanted it to stop. She got up and looked outside and heard the noise coming from Anthony's tent. Then she heard Xara say 'Yeah, right there.' Abby then ran out if her tent and stormed into Anthony's tent and yelled "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING IN HERE!"
She then noticed Anthony giving Xara a massage, they looked at her with confused looks on their faces. "What did you think we were doing?" Anthony said.
"W-well I t-though y-you two w-were….um." Abby said going red in the face.
"He was just giving me a back massage, my back was having a bad cramp earlier." Xara said.
"Well someone has a dirty mind." Anthony said mockingly.
"S-shut up, i'm gonna make breakfast, what do you want." Abby said.
"None of those MRE's." Xara said. "I'll have a fish."
"And i'll have the bacon and eggs MRE's" Anthony said.
"Okay, don't do anything while i'm cooking." Abby said.
"Oh don't worry, we'll make it extra loud for you to hear." Anthony teased.
"Shut up or you're not getting breakfast." Abby snapped. She then left to cook up some food. Anthony and Xara then laughed seeing Abby with a beet red face.
"Now that worked up an appetite, and i'm not going to kiss you anymore if you keep eating those MRE's." Xara said. Anthony the surprised her with a kiss and then said.
"Consider that my last MRE…. unless there's an emergency." Anthony said.
"Well, that is what they are for." Xara said. They got out of the tent and saw that Callum and Rayla were already eating. They took a seat beside them and waited for Abby to be done with their food. When Abby was done she handed Xara her fish and threw the MRE at Anthony's face.
"Enjoy." Abby said.
"Well if you didn't wake up then I would be enjoying something else." Anthony said with a smug grin. Abby just sat down and ate her food with a death glare aimed at Anthony for being a jerk.
"What is going on?" Callum said to Rayla.
"Are you not seriously paying attention?" Rayla said.
"Well I was eating." Callum said.
"Of course, i'll fill you in later." Rayla said.
"That works for me." Callum said.
After breakfast they headed off on the trail to Katolis. They went through several small towns and didn't get much attention. After a few hours they settled down for dinner in the outskirts of a town. Xara and Rayla kept their hoods and gloves on so they don't get noticed. They ordered and looked at how they were going to take Viren down.
"Does his office have a window?" Abby said.
"No, he likes the privacy." Callum said.
"So sniping him is out of the question." Anthony said.
"Well we can't just walk in, the castle is now heavily guarded due to the attack that killed my father." Callum said.
"Are there any hidden passages, or doorways?" Anthony said.
"The only one that knows is Ezran, but he won't be able to help us from inside." Callum said.
"Even with our technological advantage, we are still heavily outnumbered by at least two hundred to one." Xara said.
"That doesn't sound to bad." Anthony said.
"At the LEAST, and they are friends of Callum, it's not like we can kill them willy nilly." Rayla said.
"Then we're dead in the water." Abby said.
After a few minutes of deep thinking Callum said "I have a plan."
"Okay, let's hear it." Xara said.
"When Abby said 'dead in the water' I remembered that we get shipments of food and goods to the castle by water." Callum said.
"Then we hide in the crates and get into the castle, nice thinking there bud." Anthony said.
"Oh great, more water." Rayla said shivering by just thinking of water.
"But the problem is that, they check incase someone is trying to sneak in, so we'll have to have a distraction." Callum said.
"Will explosives work?" Anthony said.
"No that would make them more on guard, i'll have to fill the roll." Callum said.
"WHAT NO, who knows what Viren will do to you!" Rayla said.
"It's the only choice we have, all the guards would be too distracted to protect me, so I can get you guys in." Callum said.
"He has a point, most of the guards will be wanting to protect him at all costs." Abby said.
"Then we have the plan, get on the boat, sneak in, kill Viren, and high tail it out of there." Anthony said.
"But there is another problem." Callum said. "My brother is most likely there."
"Not to mention Soren and Claudia." Rayla said with disgust.
"Well deal with them when we get to it, but right now we have a game plan and we need to act on it fast." Xara said.
"Yeah, how long until we reach the city?" Anthony said.
"Right now, by tomorrow mid-afternoon." Abby said.
Capital of Xadia
Onya was walking down the hallway ready to meet her fellow pilots in the break room. She had an Elven ale in her hands, it wasn't anything special but she knew that the 'Russians' loved to drink. When she got to the door she opened it and saw the other pilots were throwing her a party. There was a banner that said 'Thanks For Everything Onya!' She was shocked that they did this for her, there was cake, presents, and other goods. She thought it was her birthday due to her always being to busy to celebrate it.
"Welcome comrade!" Aleksis said.
"What is all this?" Onya said.
"This is a party mate, it's to celebrate what you've done for us." Chuck said.
"We thought we could show you our appreciation for helping Abby and Anthony, building more jaegers, and helping us when we were on the ropes." Raleigh said.
"We t-thought of you d-doing your b-best, we are h-honored by it so m-making this p-party would be g-great." Cheung Wei said in english.
"Oh, you can speak english now?" Onya said.
"No he still can't, but he was working on the sentence all day for you." Markus said.
"Welcome to the party." Katie said.
They sat down and had the time of their lives. They ate the food, drank the booze, and opened presents. Onya received a Earth history book from Katie and Markus, a hand carved boomerang from chuck and his father, a traditional hanfu Chinese dress from Cheung, Jin, and Hu Wei, a katana from Mako and Raleigh, and finally a Siberian coat from Sasha and Aleksis. She was overwhelmed by what she had received, all these gifts were from the people that she once resented for being murderers.
"T-thank you for this." Onya said crying.
"Oh don't cry comrade, we are here to help on any way we can." Aleksis said.
"Yeah mate, we'll be here for ya till the very end." Chuck said.
"Thanks, this means a lot to me." Onya said.
"Well let's keep partying till the sun sizes." Markus said drunkenly.
"CHEERS!" They all said with joy. They partied all night long and were all happy with what they did.
Kingdom of Katolis
*Alright guys, are you ready?* Callum said.
"We're getting to the docks now." Abby said. "We are a go."
*Okay heading in.* Callum said.
"Callum." Rayla said.
*Yeah Rayla?* Callum said.
"Don't die on me, please." Rayla said.
*Okay, see you guys in there.* Callum said.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Xara said.
"I hope so." Rayla said. They go to the dock and the ship was being inspected as expected. The guards searched every part of the ship and were wondering near the group. Their breath being suppressed by the waves that hit the ship's side, they weren't easy to find. After a few minutes the guards gave the all clear, they were about to leave until a small box fell to the floor. Anthony accidently moved to much to the left and knocked it over. One guard then turned and walked to see what was the cause of the noise. He got really close to seeing the team until a guard from the top deck yelled "Pince Callum has returned!" The guard then ran up the stairs and left.
"That was close." Anthony said.
Abby then smacked him across the head and said. " You think."
"Let's get in the castle." Xara said.
When they got off the boat they took the guards that remained down and ran into the castle.
Front of the Castle
"Prince Callum, we thought that you were dead." One guard said kneeling down.
"Oh, i'm fine, is my brother here?" Callum said.
"Yes sire, he is in his room." The guard said.
"Then take me to him." Callum said. Before he could go inside he was stopped by Viren, Soren, and Claudia walking out to greet him.
"Callum you're back, i'm so glad you're-" Claudia was cut off when Callum spoke.
"I don't care for what you have to say Claudia, after what you did I can never forgive you." Callum said. "And that goes for you to Soren."
Claudia and Soren were shocked by Callums outburst. They didn't think that he would do such a thing to them, this really hit them hard. Viren then walked over and spoke.
"Let me be the first to welcome you back to your home callum." Viren said.
"And let me say that I have no interest talking to you Sir Viren, all I want to do is see my brother." Callum said.
Viren huffed and said "Very well, you may see your brother." He then walked inside to bring Callum to Ezran in his room.
Deep in the Castle
"Are you sure this is the right way?" Anthony said.
"Yes, we take the next right here." Rayla said.
After they made the turn they saw Viren, Claudia, Soren and Callum walking in the opposite way. They were talking about how they missed Callum and how his father would be glad to see him, if he was alive.
"Alright we have one shot." Abby said.
Anthony then took out his rifle and turned on the scope. He aimed down the sights and had a clear shot at Virens head. Before he could shoot he heard someone yell 'INTRUDER ALERT!" A guard that had seen them yelled and it alerted Viren to turn around. Anthony in desperation took the shot, but hit Viren in the shoulder. Viren then fell and yelled in pain.
"KILL THEM!" Viren said through the pain. Guards started showing up and it looked like the plan had failed. The team got into position and took a stand for survival.
