Hello, let me explain why I was late. I have started doing a collab with 4fireking on his pokemon story. I wrote the most recent chapter, and I've had a little Siesta.
Ash bolted from his slumber to the sound of tracks rolling on pavement. He was in a SSA M.R.T(Medical Recovery Tent). As he looked out the entrance of the tent, he recognized a black, red and gold flag, with a purple half infinity sign in the red strip. Next to it, stood a different flag, A white and Cobalt multi-stripped flag with a black X in the center.
"We provided just enough support to win" Jon said from a chair next to a nightstand that was to the left of Ash's bed.
Ash smirked, "Was it like the fields of Yekna?"
Jon did a chuckle, "Not quite, it wasn't so heroic, being the invader instead of defender".
Ash smiled, but then a realization hit him, "How did you recover so quickly? Shouldn't you have been out for a few days?"
Jon smiled, "Im a Saxon, My people can take fatal wounds and brush it off like a bad case of fleas. You only took a little longer to recover anyway, probably due to the….Special treatment".
Ash curiously looked down to find Sarah resting on his chest. His face turned dark red.
Jon patted him on the back, "You're a lucky, that's all I can say, oh and Wolfpack is on the HindenburgDU7".
Ash paled, "What Have I done wrong, I'm not a traitor, you believe me right, does Asis think of me as a lia-"
Jon raised his hand, "They're not here for you, at least not your head. You're still a V.i.p. in our army, if anything, you've been recommended".
Ash's face switched spectrums, "You mean I might be able to join?"
Jon shrugged, "You almost conquered the city single handedly, I think that warrants a promotion".
"Who's getting a promotion?" Sarah said drowsily.
"Oh no one, I got a meeting, and I'm always on time?" Jon said before walking out.
Ash glanced at Sarah, "W-Why are you on top of me?"
"Oh, I Heard I haven't used my Mana so much that I radiated extra." Sarah said twirling her Blonde hair with a slight blush.
Ash sighed in relief, "So the extra mana would accelerate the healing process".
Sirens suddenly blared.
Ash recognized the sound. He felt a disturbance in the clouds just in city Air space.
"Air-Raid!" Ash shouted as He tackle Sarah. An IL-2 Model fired a rocket strait into the tent.
Way too close Ash thought as he turned back to Sarah. He had a realization. Apparently, when He'd tackled her, he had missed her shoulder, and gone a little lower.
Quickly pulled up his hand. Sarah kept a calm face, We'll talk about this later.
The IL-20 turned around, as if to come in for another sweep.
Ash was, for some reason, angry beyond comprehension. "Time to see if our mana is compatible" Ash said rising from the ground. He balled his fist and pulled it back, as if to throw a punch. Then Ash thrust his hand forward, a bolt of lightning erupting from it and intercepted The IL-2. It exploded in glorious Michael Bae style blast.
More were on the Horizon. Sarah raised her hand and stood parallel to Ash, their hands touched. From the united power came a fire ball the flew at the planes with astonishing speed. The lead Il-2 pulled up, causing the fire bolt to graze the tail, but that was all it took.
Bolts of lightning erupted from the fire ball, blowing up the squadron. Sarah collapsed, blood leaking from her right nostril. Ash knelt next to her, "Take it easy, too much stress no your powers can kill you, I'll take it from here".
Just as Ash was about to zap another plane, a loud burst of gunshots were heard from behind him. Ash turned and Saw a Wirbelwind AA truck rolling down the street. It was followed by other wirbelwinds and a couple Ostwinds. They all bore the 15th Panzer Icon. Jon's men.
A scout came running in the town square, "it's a counter attack!" He shouted.
Striker came rolling down the street, being followed on her flank by supply trucks. The trucks stopped before distributing Gwehers and mp40s. A couple AT guns were being set up at the gates.
Jon walked up from behind Ash, "What do you think"?
Ash was amazed. All the soldier seemed to know what to do, how to handle a situation, and where to go. "Is this really the 15th division"?
Jon nodded before returning to his tank.
Gorbachev was seen in the distance, organizing the Skoda T40s and his militia.
Ash saw men setting up sand bags, laying mines, loading magazines. Wire was being placed on roads, ammo boxes and gas containers were being carried to the front.
A loud bang was heard from outside the city. The first shot. Thousands of smaller burst came into hearing range.
Ash watch another two men carry an ammo box. A sharp Clash was heard as the ammo carriers got close to the gate. The left ammo carrier crumpled, which caused the box to collapse on his end. The other ammo carrier wouldn't let go, and dragged the box towards the gate.
Ash ran, if he could save even one life, they could win. Ash tackled the soldier. A Clash was heard again, this time, it hit the dirt. Ash pressed his back to the wall. He looked at the soldier, "DO you have binoculars?"
The soldier handed them to him, and stated proudly, "I have to get the ammo to the trenches".
"It's not gonna get there if your dead". Ash chided, peaking around the corner. He looked through his binoculars and saw a small structure on the mountain pass.
"Where's the nearest radio station"? Ash asked, looking at the soldier. He pointed to a green tent and stated, "I wonder, is it so bad that they need everyone on the front".
Ash got wide eyed, "Everyone"!?
"Yea wh-"
"Give me your pistol!" Ash shouted.
"Whu-why" the soldier asked.
"Just do it!" Ash shouted.
The Superhuman tossed Ash the pistol.
Ash gestured for a guard to come and help with the ammo box, before sprinting toward the tent.
A soldier stood up, " You're not-"
"Put me on the line, I'm Asis's Elite agent, and I have information that could save the city, But if I fail, I will have the Axe fall on your head, not mine". Ash threatened.
The soldier backed off, and Ash spoke on the radio, "Jon, there's a sniper on the west ga-"
BOOM!
"You were saying". Jon said.
"Listen, there's a rail system underneath the city, The shadows might sneak through".
"What…..I'm coming back, okay, don't do anything stu-"
"Bye" Ash said, and sprinted toward the subway entance.
I have to prove to Asis that I don't need revenge, I'm still effective, I can do this. Ash thought to himself.
Ash saw one of the entrances, and sprinted towards it….Until a shadow stepped out of it.
He had no choice, Ash raised the pistol and fired two shots, one of which hit the wall, the other destroyed the shadow's skull. More shadows started to pour out of the entrance.
This was going to be a long day.
(Line break)
Damien pleaded with his grandfather, "I am a warrior, I can fight any battle, I can kill any man, do not abandon me to freeze".
Kratos's face only grew more rage filled, "Except for the one I told you to, you couldn't even defeat a young boy, how can you be my son".
"Grandfather, I killed giants, I slaughtered hounds, but that boy was…..different. He was powerful, and the aura filled me with fear, the shadows worked against me, I could not fight." Damien pleaded.
"You had fear, Antarctica drowns out fear, for fear will kill you in this cold. You will either learn to be without fear, or you will die. But I am merciful, so I will let you have the blades I started with. They are dull, but they can still kill better than you. Now fight the cold or die!" Kratos then pushed Damien over the ship's railing, onto the hard ice.
The boat immediately went in reverse, and Damien was left without an escape. He looked to his left, there were two, bone-colored blades. He picked them up and began to trudge in the snow.
(line break)
Ash was running low on ammo, the shadows probably guessed that too.
He cursed under his breath. One clip, that was it. He rounded the corner of the alley way and fire at them, making each shot count. 9 Heads were shattered or had a hole in them. But more kept coming.
Ash saw no alternative. He pulled out his knife and ran towards the entrance.
A bullet immediate grazed his waist, followed by one piercing his knee. And fell on that knee. A shadow came in to bayonet Ash. He flipped his kmofe around and stabbed the thorat, then twisted the knife and swung the body around to block bullet fire. He then inched toward the riflemen. Another came around the body. Ash ripped out his knife, grabbed the shadow's hand, and threw him in front of rifle fire.
Ash then bolted for the men, stabbing and slashing until the entire squad was down, and the entrance was clear. Or so he thought.
"I recognize that training anywhere, you're a member of the Jaeger program. Even when drowning in your own blood, you'll keep fighting, or so the rumors say". A shadow major said, stepping in subway entrance.
Ash was panting, from both pain and exhaustion, "Come over here and find out".
"I think not" The major said and raised a pistol. Suddenly his eyes got wide as the sound of tracks filled the air. A loud bang was heard as he suddenly turned to red mist. Jon shouted from the tank, "Are you alright"?
Ash couldn't help but laugh, "Always on time huh?"
"You better believe it". Jon said, "The main force fled like cowards after their sniper and stealth attacks got blown up".
(Line break)
Damien was hungry, he was freezing, but most of all, he was scared. He was scared of death, of dying pointlessly. If he died out here, It would be meaningless, nothing would be gained. Damien had a feeling Kratos knew that too.
Damien felt rage build up inside of him. He had been like a lap dog, always doing what Kratos said, and for what. He grit his teeth as Damien crawled against the cold, hard ground.
"You certainly seem troubled," A young man said walking right next to him. The young man was wearing a bandana with a half-infinity sigh on it.
Damien would have stabbed this kid in a heartbeat if it wasn't for one thing, his Aura. The young man Radiated a power that said "Anything I want is mine, I don't need a uniform, and badge, a hundred metals, I will get what I want, one way, or another".
Damien decided the best choice was to converse, maybe he had food. "I have been abandoned, My Family has disowned me, and I have nothing, would you spare me some food".
The young man pointed, "You have your Swords". The young mans personality was too lax, perhaps the aura was just Damien being weak.
Damien handed him the Chaos blades, "I will give these for food".
The young man's personality changed to that of a commander. "I wasn't referring to those swords".
Damien looked at him curiously, "Would you specify what you were talking about".
The young man smiled, " I am Asis, through some lands, I am a god, through other a demon, and some land, just a man. But I am a leader nonetheless. I have need of good quality men such as yourself. Swear fealty to me, and you will never go hungry or thirst at times of peace, you will have land, and wealth, more than any can provide, or you can have revenge, retribution and payback for all wrong that's been done to you".
"How can I trust you". Damian questioned.
"Good question" Asis said with a smirk, A small, purple circle appeared right next to Asis, who put his hand through. He pulled out a picnic basket. "Consider this… compensation for your time."
Damien opened the basket, and saw a prime cut steak, potatoes and gravy, broccoli and cheese, a slice of cake and hot chocolate. Damien's mouth turned into a water fall. "I'll join."
Asis smiled, "Oh change your, Damien seems a little, rebellious, Daze works. Daze, for your enemies will be stunned by your power, and you will cut them down."
Damien spoke, "I swear fealty to you, for you are the rightful king of our world, may you rule for eternity, may your enemies be my enemies, and may all who stand against you fall"
"Welcome to the SSA" Asis said glancing at the sky, a train-car sized grey and orange ship with four guns on the front descended from the clouds. A door opened on the ship and Asis climbed in, and held out his hand.
Damien took it.
Okay, I did my best to not make this a copy and paste of Devino's back story.
