Chapter 16: Phantoms Found
Lindsey sat down on a log as she stared at Teddy who was in her hands. She looked up and glimpsed towards the armoured car the nice men had taken from the bad people. She looked and watched as they heaved Phantom from the back seat of the car. He coughed in pain as his legs fell out. Lindsey looked back down at her teddy and slowly lowered her forehead on its chest. She wondered what had happened to Phantom. And would he end up like her mum and dad.
Angel looked over Phantom's wounds. He could easily see that he was hurt really bad. Burns marks and scorch marks across his chest and thigh. "Crap. We need to get him to a hospital now or he is going to die!" Angel turned back and yelled at Captain Price.
"We don't know where the closest one is." Price explained. Then realization hit him. "Close-up, check for a phone in there! Hurry!" Close-up quickly went through and looked through the many compartments of the car. He opened the passenger glove compartment to fine what looked like a scroll.
"I think this is one. Not sure." Close-up said as he chucked it to Captain Price, who caught it with ease. Price looked at the thing in his hand. It looked like a mix between a tablet and a phone. He noticed the call button and typed in 999.
Nothing
He tried 911
Nothing.
"Crap! We haven't got the number for an ambulance!" Price yelled. Phantom coughed up a small amount of blood. "Damn it!"
Warmonger 4-5 flew through the sky with velocity. Its wings cutting through the air and wing with ease. They were on a patrol from the fleet to look out for any white fang raid groups or potential bases for them. The Hornet pairs view, Mark Nutt, looked through the view finder at the ground below. "Got anything?" Marks Co-pilot, Michael Mogar, asked
"Not yet." Mark replied. Then his eyes widened when he noticed a car parked at the edge of a road. With armed men around it. "Bingo! 4 armed men. One seems wounded and they got what looks like a little girl with them. Call it in with the nearest patrol."
Ripper kept watch as the others tended to Phantom. He looked through his weapons sights just as a convoy of 3 Humvees pulled around the corner. "Guys! We got company!" he reported. The Humvees quickly stopped in front of the car and armed men jumped out. that situation had just turned into a Mexican stand-off.
"Drop your weapons!" One of the men shouted. Price put his hands in the air
"Calm down. We're just trying to help our friend. He's wounded badly." Price explained
"What's your name?" one of the men from the Humvees, most likely the leader, asked
"Captain Price." He said "I'm with the British armed forces. What's yours?" Price replied, he was not compromising the mission by telling him he was with the British armed forces. For all he knew they would have thought he was part of the navy or something.
"Sergeant Lewis Shaw of the 119th US Marines." The man said "And from what I'm guessing by the uniforms and the little girl is that you're Special Forces."
"SAS." Price nodded. The sergeant turned to his marines and nodded for them to stand down, Price doing the same. The man turned back to Price and nodded towards Phantom. "We were attacked and he was hit badly. A lot of burns on his chest."
"Ok, get him in the Humvee. All of you pile on. We'll explain what's been happening while we're on our way to the Hospital.
"We're in another world!" Price almost yelled as he and Lindsey sat in the 1st Humvee with the sergeant. Angel sat with Phantom in the middle one while Ripper and Close-up took the back.
"That's correct. From what you told us sounds like exactly what happened to us." The Sergeant nodded
"So there are only you guys?" Price questioned
"Hell no. a full joint operations fleet, 2 platoons of tanks along with men. An engineer and mortar squad along with you guys." The sergeant turned back towards the road to see they were just reaching Vale.
The city looked different from before the attack and the joint troops joined to help defend. Buildings were still in rubbles. The bodies of the dead had been cleared off the streets. And many people were trying to rebuild. The joint forces had also began to help distribute water and supplies to the civilians when aid came from the other kingdoms.
"Ok, when we drop of you and your team. After everything's happened someone will come and collect you and take you to see the admiral. And most likely after that you guys can go rest up at Beacon."
"Beacon?"
"It's a school used to train the warriors of this world, Huntsmen and huntresses I think, and the headmasters allowed any of the joint troops who can't fit on the fleet are allowed to stay at the school."
Beacon had become what many would have called a military base from what it looked like. But it was still a school; all the students went to classes and other things. At the back of the school was the area where the soldiers were. they had set up camps and carpools for their tanks and other vehicles as well. The soldiers, thankfully, were being quite nice. Many actually helped out in the school by training and helping the students with their aim and weaponry.
Under the seas of Remnant a large flash of light expanded. It disappeared as soon as it appeared. but it left something. A large hulking mass of metal flew through the ocean depths slowly, prowling for something to kill. It was a Triomphant-class Ballistic Missile Submarine called the Vigilant. But it also brought something that Remnant should never have seen of. Something that had brought all those earth troops there in the first place.
Nuclear missiles…
Cliffhanger... So there are now nuclear missiles on Remnant. What will happen now? Will this change the course of Remnant? Or will the soldiers finally have a chance to go home. but have to destroy a part of Remnant to do it with nuclear fire? Stay tuned for more. Also References are in this chapter. 2 main references
