Chapter 6: Does this get any worse?

Keith sat on an airship that was taking them into the middle of the forest. Apparently his team of soldiers had to do an 'Initiation' into the school. He didn't really care but he did worry about what they had to fight. As the airship began to hover over the wood the pilot called "Time to go. Good luck." He said as the squad jumped out of the airship. They instantly set up a perimeter.

"Alright. Let's double time it to these 'Relic's' and Get out of here." Keith ordered as the airship lifted off. The squad began to move towards the ruins. As they walked they kept their respective weapons raised in firing positions.

Yang watched, along with most of the school, at the initiation of the soldiers. Their armour and weapons shocked a few of the weapon nerds, including Ruby, when they saw them. But what confused many people were what appeared to be a logo on their shoulders. It was a red plus with a white x through it with a blue background with the words 'United Kingdom Armed Forces' under it. Another confusing factor was the fact they had no melee weapons except for a combat knife. 'Where did these people come from?' Yang thought

The squad reached what they thought was the ruins. Inside it had pedestals full of chess pieces. "So… these are the relics?" Daniel asked

"I think so…" Darren spoke up. As he said that they heard a large growl go out. "That… can't be good."

"Ok, grab the relics, it's time we left." Keith ordered. As they only took the pawns. They turned to see the ruin was surrounded by grim "Perfect…" he muttered "OPEN FIRE!" at that moment the squad of soldiers opened up onto the surrounding grim. The grim charged forward but were still getting ripped to pieces. Keith stopped to reload his rifle to hear a large squawk fly through the air "Oh you got to be kidding me…" he muttered to himself

"GIANT BIRDS!" Maddie shouted as 5 large birds flew past.

"Nelson, open up some anti-air!" Keith ordered, Nelson did as he was ordered

"Time to kiss the ground you mother-"Nelson whispered as he fired his Starstreak MANPAD at one of the birds. Taking it out of the sky instantly.

"Hurry up and kill these things!" Darren shouted as he fired his L9A1 into a wolfs head. "I think we may get overran."

"HOLD THEM OFF…!" Keith ordered as kicked one of the beasts in the face. He yelled out as he reloaded his rifle again and returned to firing.

"Sir, I need HELP!" Derik shouted as he began to get surrounded and separated from the other soldiers.

"Derik!" Nick shouted as he fired at the easts around Derik, trying to help, but to no avail. They watched as Derik's shotgun was thrown from his hands. He instantly switched to his combat knife and readied. The wolf that thrown his rifle jumped at him, only to have a knife to the throat. The beast's body was thrown to the floor as another charged forward, getting the same as the first. "SOMEONE HELP HIM!" Nick screamed.

Yang watched in horror as the one who saved her father, the one who saved her last parent from death, get surrounded by the grim and being attacked. But he did something that earned him a lot of respect with the students. He didn't give up. After his gun was thrown to the side he used his knife to cut a bloody number into the Grims horde. Many of the other students had respect for the solders. They had saved an entire town from being overrun with grim and yet, even now, they continued to fight. 'They're not going to make it…' Yang thought as she lowered her head.

Keith was annoyed big time. His squad was holding out the best they could yet none of them could try to save Derik. Keith let out a yell of anger and charged forward, barging through all the monsters in front of him right towards Derik. When he reached his teammate he found him on the floor using one of the Grims bodies as a shield. As Keith began to defend his squad mate the others joined. Even the Mortar team and Blackhawk troops joined in defending their downed friend.

15 minutes later and the grim were all dead. Stood in a circle were the soldiers, all bloodied and bruised, covered in grim blood. Each one breathing heavily. "Let's get back to the school…" Keith said as he and the others walked away, Derik picking up his shotgun along the way.

Yang, along with many of the students, had watched as the soldiers fought to protect their teammate, their brother in arms, and their friend. And for the fact they killed an army of grim surprised everyone. 12 soldiers, who had no melee weapons except combat knifes, fought off an army of grim. Yang felt like a weight had been lifted off her chest as they began to return to the school. She didn't know why but she wanted to see the soldiers one more time.

Keith and the others walked into the school grounds; just too tired to fight or talk they walked past the headmaster and just collapsed on a nearby row of bench. When the Headmaster came over he was about to speak when Keith told him one sentence that told him to leave now.

"We just went through hell, fought an army of black and white beasts. So you let us rest…"

Hours later and the squad of men had not moved from their spot on the bench. They just couldn't get over how they just fought through an army of beasts. "Jesus Christ… we really just did that didn't we…." Gen asked

"Yep… we just fought an army and survived." Daniel answered

Red, the Blackhawks gunner stood up. "When we get back home we are ALL getting fucking medals for that. And drinks are on me." he smiled

"Hey guys? What time is it?" Nick asked, Derik looked at his watch

"It's 11pm." Derik answered.

"Squad, back to the ballroom and get some rest. We all need it." Keith ordered as they got up and began to walk towards the ballroom.
