Chapter 15
New direction
Gears salvaged what they could across the massive wasted remains of the battlefield preparing for the next encounter. Fade walked towards the tunnel facing in front of him noticing the large caverns extending deeper into the locust Hordes. Bronx and Sarah walked beside Jack as they cheered him on for a little until reaching up to Fade. Jack tied the white cloth around his left hand tightly seeing the cloth he smiled inside his helmet. Bronx pointed smiling at Jack.
"WHOOOO! Hell yeah baby that's what Echo's all about" yelled Bronx
"We'll done guys" said Sarah
Fade noticed the ceilings and open spaces moving slowly his team cheering in delight. Fade looked down at the lower parts of the cavern and jumped down into the small flowing river seeing the bright lit crystals shaking slowly. Bronx and the rest followed down as they moved on past Fade. Fade looked at Jack and nodded to him then fisted him on a good job. The cavern shook more and more around as Fade noticed its movements within the Locust tunnels.
"What?" yelled Bronx
"Massive sizemec activity down there guys!" yelled a gear over the radio
Up above Dizzy picked his teeth with a tooth pick as he looked towards the sun he smiled thinking about what his old life was like. The moment was right Gears had stocked up on weapons, vehicles, and medical supplies. Soon enough massive Mother Corpser's screamed rising form below and smashing into the lower running gears. Ravens fired directly into them as Locust boarded and took over other rigs. Locust smashed through gears as they aimed to use the Gear vehicles for their own goals.
"Locust are above stealing the Rigs!"yelled Dizzy as he fought some off his own Rig
"Move, move, move" yelled Fade as he pointed to them to go head back running up the stone stair case and back into the first barricade.
Gears blew up through the stone rocky walls as sun light hit them they ran outside taking damage one by one other gears jumped into tanks and headed straight into battle. Fade rushed in evading the mauler as Jack jumped right.
"What's the plan?!"yelled Sarah evading an incoming rocket from a flying Reaver
"Prevent them from heading anywhere near the rigs" yelled Fade as he blind fired behind a fallen silver back. Gears yelled aloud
"Fall back everyone!"
"They're heading for Jacinto!"yelled Jack aloud seeing them flying over the mountains and straight towards the city. The Mother Corpser slammed down her massive legs into Gear tanks as Echo ran for it straight to Dizzy's Betsy rig. Dizzy fired his lancer until he saw the Brumak smashing into a leaving Rig and threw down his lancer and headed into the driver's seat. The E-hole emergence was massive Brumak's and Mother Corpser's ripped through by full force out of the ground floor killing any human thing in continued to swarm the sky with endless locust heading to Jacinto and wrecking the small camps along the way. Echo ran up the ladder of the Betsy rig as Fade climbed up last onto it and fired at flying Reavers.
"Dizzy what's the situation with Betsy" asked Fade
"She'll be great help but keep these sons of bitches off her" said Dizzy as he turned the rig around headed towards the camps.
"Jacinto is under attack! I repeat a full retreat back to Jacinto now" yelled the voice over the radio
Bronx grabbed ahold of the turrent and aimed at the Brumak as it charged forward. Firing into its head the bullets bounced off as it screamed wildly. Rockets flew into Betsy, Jack grabbed ahold of a mortar and fired directly at turned the rig to the left as the Brumak slammed up against it trying to crush fired at its massive left hand as it roared in pain and anger. Bronx yelled as he fired at the gas tanks, Sarah and Fade covered the center of the rig as Locust boarded. Jack continued to fire his mortar as he finished using rig wobbled back and forth as the Brumak screamed and fell dead to the ground. Locust reinforcements had left with a couple of rigs and on Reavers. All heading to Jacinto.
The rig moved with black smokes coming from its engines, Fade looked at the sky noticing clear skies again. Sarah reloaded her lancer and looked forward, Bronx took in deep breathe' looked at over the ripped rail beside the ladder to climb onto Betsy. Jack noticed so much damage of vehicles and bodies of Gears yet still some survived as he could see dead 1Mother Corpser and 2 Brumak's.
"Whoa…"said Jack
"Command what's the situation on Jacinto?" asked Fade
"-sss-e-"static continued over the radio
"Seeders must be in the area" said Sarah
Fade looked at her then back to Jack and Bronx
"Were going back to Jacinto one way or another" said Fade
"Dizzy could we reach camp?" asked Fade
"Yes but only there, you'll have to find another ride, sorry guys" said Dizzy
"Any ravens available?" asked Sarah
"Raven 9-74, I'm fueled and loaded" said the pilot
"We got a ride" said Sarah
