Days Of Ruin4…Never Ending

I do not own Advance Wars or any of the series…if I did I would have made multiple campaigns.

It was midday when the men sat in the transports. Supply and munitions trucks trailed the transports and the transports were following a black rig, it looked as if the entire convoy drove through the wastelands and forests as if they were roads. The black rig at the front was missing a door window and at the top was a flag bearing two axes opposite each other to the right and left and had a reflective patch on the top right corner that appeared to flash back when it was hit by a beam of light.

The leader was with Tabitha inside the black rig. The leader in the driver's seat and Tabitha on the passenger seat with the cushion placed loosely on top of the ripped base. Tabitha stared at the passing rocky and wooded surroundings with amazement.

"H…How? I've never heard of a commanding officer having such extraordinary abilities!" She said in amazement directed at the driver.

"Hmm? 'Commanding Officer?' I guess that's what you call those with abilities, but unfortunately I'm not in any sort of military. I'm just a regular human…probably." He said with his gas mask on, his eyes focused on the terrain ahead with cold eyes.

She just sat there taking in the information quietly. 'With just those basic abilities one could remove most variables associated with moving in unsuitable terrain!' Her thoughts were wildly forming plans but were soon cut off by a voice beneath a mask that still had clarity.

"I refrain from using violence at all times…but there are exceptions…like when I had to get you treatment…" He mumbled the last few words, but still Tabitha's enhanced hearing could hear what he had said, Tabitha blushed slightly at those words forgetting revenge for a good few hours.

As they drove further southeast Tabitha pointed off in the distance toward a lone smokestack in the distance, the leader nodded and grabbed a radio. "All vehicles prepare to stop and engage potential threats" Soon after, the combat bikes and transports stopped closer to the distant factory and the supply trucks were already stationed a few miles behind the combatants.

"The hell?" One of the men pointed at the moving forms exiting the factory. The forms slowly treaded through the wastelands around the factory.

Tabitha knew that the factories near here had automated defense forces so she got the attention of the leader still in his seat staring at the forms.

"Don't worry, those are not manned. Those are the automated rocket units out in the distance and there aren't any people in the vicinity, save for this group." She saw a calm expression roll over his face as he heard her words, replacing the panic that was present before.

The leader exited the rig to see that his men had prepared an enhanced war bike, not with one regular machine gun for the sidecar but another machine gun for the driver, two mechanics stood by the side with proud expressions on their face as if they created a masterpiece.

"Did you two just add another gun?" The leader said sighing. The two mechanics beamed with joy as they noticed that he knew what they did.

Tabitha got out of the rig to see what was keeping him, seeing the embarrassment of an upgrade before her she wondered how their leader put up with all of this. She walked over and tapped the gun and then the section where they welded it, she also started the motor and soon found out that the vibrations shook the weld to pieces and heard the crashing of the added gun on the ground.

"A masterpiece huh? You guys cant even weld properly!" She laughed and pitied them mentally. "Geez…is most of your group stupid?" She directed that comment to the leader who sighed at those words, he knew many of them and many of them were basically useless for anything besides war.

"Just put the extra gun inside of the seat, we'll use it when we need it." She said sighing, noticing the relieved expressions on the mechanics they were probably happy they were of some use.

"Wait, WE?" The leader said to Tabitha as she sat in the sidecar of the bike.

"Of course WE! You expect John to sit in an already small sidecar with a smaller than usual sitting area?" The leader knew she was right, John already had problems in an empty sidecar and he couldn't sit there since he had to pay attention to the terrain in order to get good mobility.

"You better be a good shot…no one here is as skilled as John and I." He said triumphantly.

"Oh really? See that bottle cap there? I'll shoot it off for you." She adjusted the sights on the machine gun to match her sights and fired a single shot. The bullet cleanly slice through the bottle cap and the bottle slowly drops onto the ground leaving a melting valley of plastic by the bottle's neck.

"Well…you're welcome to assist me anytime Tabitha…" His voice trailed off near the end but her hearing still caught the words.

She smiled at her victory and sat comfortably in the sidecar waiting for the leader to notice that he had dropped his keys when her bullet hit.

Still quite disturbed by Tabitha's perfect accuracy, he pulled the mask away to clear his throat and repositioned it to talk to the men in their bikes and sidecars. "They only have ranged units! Lets move as swift as a meteor and be as deadly as one too!" His words were answered by the war cries of his men.

The men drove toward the rocket units and rockets began raining down on their position a little forward of the parked rig. As the rockets were readying for another salvo they were given an abrupt command by the control system, to retreat, since bikes were riding through the wasteland around the base as if it was paved concrete. This greatly altered the conditions the rockets were forced to fight in. The wheels of the rockets were going in full reverse but the wasteland that was supposed to give them an advantage had turned into their enemy, causing their retreat to slow to a crawl.

The approaching bikes ripped through the retreating lines of rockets, their machine guns ripping through the unarmored systems of the units causing them to shut down and stop. The men knew this tactic all too well. The enemy would use the terrain as a wall to slow the approach of the enemy but our mobility would render the wastelands and forests useless, crushing the ranged units they treasure so much.

The gates of the factory opened again but no rockets came out, instead there were tanks, one unit of regular tanks barred entrance to the facility, their cannons aimed at us. Commands were sent through the tanks…-Mobilizing armored division to counter infantry-… -Predicted damage negligible-…-Units engage targets-

The cannons fired, none of the rounds hit the bikes but the shrapnel it created would rip through these flimsy bikes like paper…in a normal situation. The men braced themselves for the worst expecting shrapnel to tear through them and their bikes, but they came out with only minor cuts and burns. The first to notice this miracle was the leader who saw Tabitha calmly shooting at the tanks hell shots ripping through the sensors, effectively disabling the war machine.

"How did we…How did you…how?" This was all he said as he looked around. He checked the status of his men, and all came through the black cloud of shrapnel unharmed.

"Oh that's easy to explain. I have CO abilities too and it helps that the rest were in very close proximity to me." She said this calmly as her bullets disabled another set of sensors of a tank.

"Your abilities are insane! Who has enough power to defend and damage to this degree?" He was yelling through the sounds of battle and through his mask attempting to piece the miracle together in his mind.

"Well your abilities are impossible! Who has the power to make even wastelands as efficient as roads? Your abilities don't exist in any recorded battles!" She also screamed, voicing out her frustration at the impossibility in front of her.

"Well the both of us are unbelievable, even to each other, let's talk after this is all over ok?" He smiled beneath his mask at the thought of not being the only impossibility in this world anymore.

Tabitha sighed and went back to downing those annoying tanks in front of her. 'Well, even if father is gone I'm still not the only impossibility still in this world.' She smiled inwardly at the thought. 'Not alone'

The two created their plan on the spot, with their mobility, damage, and defense they would tear at the dwindling number of tanks.

Sensor information was dropping quickly, the system did not have enough data to make efficient decisions and the inner doors of the facility began to close shut. …-Error in battle calculations-…-Shutting down facility to prevent unit and data extraction-…-Shutting…Do…wn…- The sensors throughout the facility along with the remaining tanks shut down, their lights dimming and circuits locking.

'Hmph…the system finally gave way… no surprise since the new introduced variable messed with the calculations.' She mentally smiled at the thought of the "variable" the system encountered.

After the battle had been won some men were sent to investigate the exterior and some were sent to fetch the supply vehicles parked in the distance. All the doors have been shut in response to the system shutdown and there was not a single opening to enter from. Guards were stationed by the gate entrance to greet any visitors that became attracted to the rising smoke coming from the debris of the battle. Most of the trucks were parked within the confines of the gate and men gathered to celebrate their victory around the light of the fires coming from the steel drums.

Though the sounds of the celebrating unnerved her slightly she was able to sleep in the tent made for three. To the right was Tabitha in her bed, in the center was the group's leader in his bed, and to the left was a large, but empty bed that was most likely John's since no one else had his large stature. John was out drinking with the rest outside, their leader was sleeping because of the battle, and Tabitha was laying on the bed, her "normal" attire replaced by the leader's spare shirt that was big enough to be a small dress for her. She drifted off to sleep, her long hair was freed from the usual restrictions of her ribbons, her face was smiling slightly as the sounds of celebration echoed through the night.
