Chapter 18
Severe Danto
Jacinto's main capital was named "Jacinto Hall", a massive Raven flew towards it carrying Golden Gears and .The massive blackened King Raven was bigger and more armored than the others. Hoffman jumped off as he walked the steps with pace as other Golden Gears moved out to secure the area of Locust. Hoffman held his Gnasher close stopping for a second he looked back at the massive view from the center of Jacinto. Jacinto Hall was at the center of the entire Jacinto attack as Locust have made it past most points. Hoffman could see the massive smokes and Reavers flying around at a distance. Hoffman then continued on entering the Jacinto Hall doors. Walking pass many operators who packed their belongings and moved out into other Ravens.
Hoffman didn't say a word as they saluted him and continued what they were doing. Gears opened the doors for Hoffman, walking in he noticed the wounded and the dead lying in the wrecked hallway. He could see the burning buildings from the bared windows. The sense of knowing how far the Locust have come. Hoffman couldn't believe it, they were fooled luring they're Gears into the Locust strong hold. Only to have a massive wave decimate they're home, Hoffman turned left walking up stairs to another hallway. Doctors ran passed Hoffman carrying supplies, bandages for the wounded. Hoffman said nothing knowing that all this could have been avoided, not to have to abandon their last city. Hoffman reached the middle of the hallway he stopped for a second remembering his old life here in Jacinto. Hoffman and his wife before all this, before all the constant rage of war.
Hoffman grew angrier knowing he couldn't do anything about it now. Hoffman kicked open the steel doors entering angered. Chairman Prescott was looking out the large window. Golden gears and normal Gears pointed their weapons towards Hoffman. Hoffman stared at them saying nothing, Prescott continued to look beyond the window gazing at the horizon. The Gears lowered their weapons, and stood staring at Hoffman. Hoffman lowered his Gnasher by his right hand side. The many papers and laptops were scattered. The massive steel desk before him was covered of paper work and maps of 5 massive cities of the C.O.G.'s. surrounding Jacinto. Gears that stood around them stayed guarding the chairman. The walls covered with books and small artifacts of objects, along with C.O.G. medals that were won over the years.
"Prescott what the fuck are you still here for?!"yelled
"Ensuring we survive this Colo."said Prescott
"The damn bastards are sending everything they got, you need to evacuate" said Hoffman
"The Locust….huh..I never thought I'd see this day come any sooner Colo"said Prescott
"Prescott what the hell are you talking about" yelled Hoffman
"We never stood a chance at times I thought, we could settle our differences" said Prescott
The building shook as Prescott continued to look through the massive glass thought of the past as he believed before all this, the war. That between events and the 2 races, could have an equal treaty. Gears looked at Prescott confused by what he said, Hoffman stared at Prescott's back. Prescott closed his eyes as his hands were tied around his back he remembered those days during the Pendulum wars and the Holmic Wars.
"I never did give my apology to him" said Prescott
Hoffman looked down at the ground red carpet floor saying nothing
"Mother Onyx. And his father…Mason Fade" said Prescott
"Heroes to the C.O.G. even our scientists well…now gone" said Prescott
Hoffman walked towards the desk slamming down his left fist in anger
"Let's go now Prescott everyone else is evacuating now" yelled Hoffman
"I'm…not going back to Azura"saidPrescott
"What?!"yelled
"You're taking all of them all that remain alive and keep them safe Colo."said Prescott
"You're coming back with us even if I have to beat you half to death" said Colo. Hoffman
"Hoffman I have given you all that you need for the future" said Prescott
Gears stared wondering what they must do
"All of you go and evacuate now" said Prescott while looking back at them then at Hoffman
"Even you Hoffman now "said Prescott
"Don't even think that this, by doing this is a way to repay them for their sacrifice" said Hoffman
"I don't think that Colonel, this is my duty, my turn" said Prescott
Hoffman walked towards the doors and stopped thinking about a couple of things as Prescott grabbed his lancer. Prescott reloaded and grabbed his frag grenades. Hoffman walked out of the room and headed down the stairs hoping he wouldn't regret this. Hoping that by doing this he can save the many lives that have been in danger. Hoffman yelled at many of the people and Gears telling them to leave now without worrying about supplies. Ravens arrived picking them up as Hoffman arrived to the massive steel doors. Hoffman pushed them open as he walked out to his King raven and jumped back on banging onto the steel door of the pilot. The King Raven lifted up into the air leaving from the capital Hoffman stared at the capital as they left away. Ravens flew out along with it.
"Give the order to evacuate to all gears now "yelled Hoffman
"Sir what about the chairman?" asked the pilot as they left
"He decided to stay behind to give us a head start" said Hoffman
"We won't let him die in vain, even so we won't allow these God damn grubs to take our cities!"yelled Hoffman
