Chapter 20

Menacing Death

Echo's raven flew through the massive chaos of Jacinto as they couldn't help at all. Other Ravens flew low trying to evacuate other smaller units. Fade noticed all these moments throughout his long career, he remembered Halvo Bay. Jack couldn't believe it as this was his first assignment, to defend Jacinto and all her people. Jack stood beside Fade as he asked. Sarah and Bronx looked at the many falling buildings and others that burned, remembering the many cities before Jacinto.

"Sir. Shouldn't we be down there?" asked Jack

"Were heading to the Capital that's where this Locust leader was last seen" said Fade

"If we take him out, maybe this invasion will be lifted and Jacinto will be saved" said Fade

"What if we can't save the city" asked Jack

"….well lose Jacinto but we'll save our people" said Fade

"Hell yeah"yelled Bronx

The Raven reached the burning shattering Capital. The Raven hovered above Fade and the rest of the team couldn't believe was burning, nothing was left standing outside or inside. Within that moment Fade could remember the Halvo Bay capital and other cities that have been burned 's massive beast smashed through the burning capital as half of it fell 's beast flew away quickly their Raven followed after it as Skorge smashed through the Jacinto's buildings. The raven fired her massive machine guns into its back and tails. The beast of a Reaver screamed in burning raging pain as Skorge looked back at the Reaver and forced his beast to turn around aiming its machine guns directly at the small Raven.

"Everyone hold on" said the pilot as the Raven made a left turn, Echo fired their machine guns towards Skorge.

"Keep going like this!"yelled Sarah

"RAAAAAAAHHHHH!"yelled Skorge

The Raven was flying side by side to Skorge as he perused them on their right hand side. Buildings blocked bullets as he snarled to them. Fade stared at Skorge as Skorge aimed a lancer towards Echo firing wildly in his left hand. Buildings fell and the moment opened for Echo as together they fired their weapons to Skorge, he fired back with his lancer. Bullets punctured through the Raven, blood began to spill out of the beast as it crashed into more buildings. Skorge through the lancer as it ran out of ammo. Skorge pulled his beast up into the air gaining altitude, turned back to Echo.

"Damn how are we goanna kill this thing" asked Jack

"Let's laser his ass man" said Bronx while reloading his boomer gun

Sarah felt the Raven shifting as the pilot said

"Guys were running low on fuel and ignoring that this Raven's about had it" said The pilot

"Alright we'll need you to get us beside that thing and well kill the driver" said Sarah

Jack looked at her, Bronx made wide eyes after she had said what he didn't like. Fade looked towards it as it came rushing back after them.

"What?" asked Sarah

"No…no, no, did you see that thing it's massive?" asked Jack

"Hell no Sarah did you see that ugly ass mother fucker?!"yelled Bronx

"It's the only way we can kill him and get back Jacinto" said Sarah

"I aint goanna get eating by that mother" said Bronx

"Bronx!? You're really backing out?!"asked Sarah

"He's right Sarah I mean we barely stand a chance" said Jack

Skorge's beast flew right beside them as its mouth could eat the Raven instantly. Bronx fired his boomer gun into its side as it got lower and closer Skorge spinned his chainsaw staff with both hands.

"What?! Oh fuck!"yelled Jack as Skorge swung his chainsaw staff into the right boarding side of the Raven.

Fade kicked the staff causing it to break in half, Sarah fired at Skorge as he moved to his left then to his right. Jack revved up his lancer swinging downward towards Skorge. Skorge blocked the incoming chainsaw in his right hand. The lancer and small chainsaw clashed in a duel as Fade fired his lancer into Skorge's chest. Skorge jumped back grunting in pain as he fell into his chair, the beast rammed the Raven more.

"Oh shit!"yelled the pilot

The Raven moved farther to the left avoiding the incoming buildings.

Bronx fired his boomer gun into the beasts left cheek as it roared and charged angrily into more buildings rushing towards the Raven. Its mouth opened wide its teeth getting closer and closer to Echo.

"Oh shit!,Oh shit!"yelled Jack

"You see Sarah!"yelled Bronx aiming his boomer gun

Bronx fired his boomer gun into its mouth as flames engulfed around pulled back as it moved away and smashed into another building and crashed into the street. The Raven slowed down and turned towards Skorge.

Skorge fell onto the wrecked street floor as blood spilled all around his left shoulder bled. His chest was hurt, his breath of air was low. His body struggled to move as he could feel the fires around him burning. Coughing blood Skorge lied on the ground hating the fact that he is dying because of some pack of bullets. Gripping his last chainsaw in his left hand he grunted trying to move he felt his heart pumping faster then slower. Fade stared at Skorge from the Raven as Jack pointed his lancer towards him. Fade placed his hand onto the rifle and lowered it, Jack looked at him.

"What?!"said Jack

"He's done" said Fade

"Were leaving, get us out now" said Fade

The Raven flew forward towards the outside barriers of the city as a response went through the radio

"All Gears out of Jacinto now "said Hoffman

"Locust Leader is down" said Fade

"Echo?! You killed it?!"asked Hoffman

"Yes sir, what now?" asked Fade

"Get out now we are moving with plan B"said Hoffman

"What's Plan B sir?" asked Sarah

"We blow up our last city along with the growing Locust Horde" said Hoffman

"Holy shit!?"yelled Jack

The Raven had left the city limits as Locust ran through celebrating their known victory. Fade and the rest of his squad looked back at the city. Skorge looked forward seeing the massive light mass bomb beeping light blue as he stared facing it. Fade could see the massive white lights exploding from various sides of the city. Jack couldn't believe it as Bronx looked down Sarah took in a deep breath as they all along with other Gears in their Ravens. Jacinto crumbled into pieces as the white lights exploded of the Light mass bombs that were scattered across the city. Hoffman stood saluting the city of Jacinto as they're ships and other Ravens flew away from the massive ruins of Jacinto. Ocean waters rushed into the falling ruins of the wrecked city as the Locust horde below and on top suffered. Locust below in the Hollows ran away but drowned as the massive bodies of water rushed in.

The sun was setting behind the great mountains that stood as Jacinto fell to its doom under the sea. From the high point of the far mountain the Locust Queen watched from the outskirts of the city as the Gears left away. The queen witnessed her people drown, as she stood beside her last Locust closed his fists in anger as he witnessed Skorge die, Locust reinforcements moved far, far below them. She stared as her torn white dress moved along with the wind, RAAM moved away from her slowly walking away.

"They will fall to us General" said The queen

RAAM stopped as he heard her voice speaking words that fueled him his back was facing her right hand side.

"They don't see it now…but they're extinction is coming sooner than they know" she continued

RAAM said nothing as he was raged by this entire event

"Our forces may have been cut in half General, but even so there's are too" said The queen

"The dawn is coming RAAM, and we will over throw them I will see to that" said the queen

RAAM continued to walk forward down the mountain cliff side and hoped onto his Reaver and left flying back home. The Queen walked down to her Reaver as it waited beside a Locust Armored Kantus. The queen jumped on as she left with her bodyguard in the back. Flying over the massive Locust troops heading towards the horizon finding a new home.
