Seven was looking out of a Armored window. As she, One, Two and Four were being transported by Armored vehicle in a convoy underway to reinforce the advancing League ground army. The terrain they were driven on was bumpy. They constantly felt the bumps in the terrain shake the vehicle a bit. The road they used was old, unmaintained and marks of battle had taken place here. Seven checked her Armor it was only lightly scratched from the crash earlier. Seven than checked her weapons her RA rifle and RA pistol only were scratched from the crash and her Combat knife was completely fine.
"Were almost there everyone we will soon be at the front Three, Five and Six are a behind enemy lines distracting the Concord away from the our ground advancements." Mason told Two, Four and Seven. Seven, sheathed her combat knife back into it's holder on her chest plate. she turned her gaze to Mason. As Marco began to speak. "So what's our plan?" Marco interrupted. "Ugh" Mason responded annoyed at Marco through soft enough that Marco didn't hear it. "I was getting to that Four." Mason replied to Marco's interruption. "Our plan, will be to reunite with the others and than take out one of the main three shield pylon as to lower the main Concord base's shield and cloak as these towers also creates the cloak keeping the base hidden. Than we get the hell out of there. as a frigate is on stand by to take out the base as you all know." Mason continued. "Anymore questions from you Marco or you two." Mason asked. "No I'm good i don't have any questions myself. Im just to shoot." Ivan said. "Me neither." Marco said. Seven shook her head, neither having any questions herself.
"Good." Mason replied to all of them. "Anyway expect a lot of Concord. far more than we faced at Shield Base. Including dozens more Matriarchs or other Elsari Trinotics." Mason finished. "Good thing our Matriarch killer is with us than Haha. No Matriarch will stand against us. especially after what Seven did with the last one at that Concord communication base." Ivan replied to Mason. "Indeed Seven does have a thing for killing Matriarchs. Matriarchs will probably be wary of her." Mason reacted to Ivan. "Killing Matriarchs isn't that hard. Marco responded smugly. "Oh, Yeah, like you were the one to save our entire team. From one, last time we were in the grip of one?" Ivan retorted to Marco's smugness. "I- um." Marco struggled to make a counter to Ivan's retort.
"Yeah, didn't think so. And besides you nearly got yourself killed by Durtans because or your arrogance. It is going to kill you soon if you don't cut your arrogance." Ivan quickly finished not letting Marco make a counter. "I'm not arrogant. you are the arrogant one not me. You fucking asshole." Marco snapped back. Ivan rolled his eyes behind his helmet as he sighed. "Ugh, quit it Four. Two, has a point, you should listen too. You are going to die if you keep up your arrogant ego." Mason responded somewhat annoyed at Marco as his patience is beginning to running thin now. "Oh leave me alone will you both." Marco snapped back. Seven simply shook her head as she looked back to the window. "Oh, what you think you're better than me Seven? You are not and I'm going to prove it when we encounter a Matriarch again." Marco arrogantly stated. "You are not going to engage one AT ALL!" Mason snapped. "Seven is going to handle them not you. You do not have any experience dealing with them unlike Seven, who Has already dealt with two of them. A few days ago" Mason continued in a harsh tone. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?" Mason went on completely pissed at Marco's tone. Him having to deal with his arrogant ego for a significant time has finally boiled over. "Uh, Yes sir." Marco replied back in a hushed tone. "Good" Mason finished.
The Armored vehicle the riftans were in screeched to a halt. "Were here" Mason said in a serious tone as he looked get Marco. Mason was the first to step out. Ivan followed him. Seven looked to Marco. "What you looking at?" Marco hissed at Seven as he stepped out. Seven shook her head. she moved over the seats and stepped out last out of the vehicle. She looked around scanning her environment. before she continued to walk over to the others.
As she walked heavy League artillery fired from the distance. Their shots echoing through the air.
"Alright it's a good 40 clicks from here until we reach the Concord base, from what I see from this tactical tablet. Three Five, and Six are about 6 clicks from here. It should be a 5 minute run for us." Mason said as Seven joined them. "Let's move." Mason commanded. The Riftans from there left front lines. they walked to a steep hill and climbed onto it. 8t was a steep rigde, they jogged along it, to avoid the main clusters of Concord troop formations. They remained unnoticed by the Concord for dozens of minutes. The Riftans eventually got off the hill to start fighting Concord and reduce the stress on the troops back at the front. Seven aimed her RA Rifle and started unloading each shot a direct hit through the head of multiple Durtans and even two Krovon, their large bodies falling onto the ground. Seven than reloaded her RA rifle and continued on. Marco grabbed two dual pistols and began firing trying to look cool and be as accurate as Seven. He was though failing.
"Here some snacks for you Connys" Ivan yelled as he threw a grenade at dozens of Durtans the grenade landed and when off killing dozens of them. He than switched to his RA shotgun. Mason had his RA rifle firing shot after shot, Killing Durtan after Durtan. Durtans were swarming him, he switched to hand to hand fighting killing each Durtan with one punch.
The Riftans were making ground slowly as they moved. They were getting closer to the others as they could hear their gun fire. Seven unsheathed her combat knife and placed her RA rifle on her back as she than switched to her RA pistol. Dozens of Durtans ran at Seven and she stabbed them in their exposed throats they dropped to the ground lifelessly.
Seven fired a shot from her RA pistol and killed a Krovon who was charging at her. The Riftans killed hunderds this way. The Concord began to flee except for the Krovon who continued to fight them. Even through the Krovon tried they all ended up dead.
"Were almost with the others again only a click left until were there." Mason said. "Good, we are definitely gonna need them to start destroying the main Conny castle the Connys have built." Ivan Joked. They continued going in a full blown sprint they continued on to kill Concord after Concord on their way. The Riftans got onto a rock formation a few meters up from the ground. They saw the others were besieged by hundreds of Concord and a Elsari. Three, Five and six were struggling to keep them at bay. They were cornered and only had little cover left as the rocks they hid behind were mostly molten from the plasma fire of the Concord besieging them.
Seven looked to Mason waiting for his single to engage. Mason nodded to Seven knowing she was planning something. Seven pointed to a grenade on Mason's chest. Mason detached the grenade from his chest and handed Seven the grenade. She attached the grenade to her own chest, she than jumped down. And snuck over to a rock behind the Concord some aware that there were enemies behind them. Having heard the shots from the Riftans earlier. Seven quietly unsheathed her combat knife. She moved behind the first she saw a Durtan trooper. She got behind him and stabbed her combat knife into his throat killing him. Before she moved the body into cover. She than moved onto the second and did the same, Than the third. She did this until the back Concord began noticing that some of their fellow troopers were gone.
Marco, looked at Mason. He looked back at Marco and shook his head and gestured him to stay here and not leave this position. Knowing Marco wanted to get into the action. Marco was going to get himself killed and mess up Seven's plan Mason knew. Marco got frustrated from this. He had to sit back while Seven was showing herself off. He thought Seven was doing that at least. He than decided to jump down against the order of Mason. Mason tried to grabbed him but Marco was to quick.
Seven managed to take out the outer soldiers. She had a shot on the Elsari, whom was putting heavy pressure on Three, Five and Six with her Trinotics. Seven moved her hand over to the grenade on her chest she got from Mason. She detached the grenade from her chest and got ready to arm it. However she heard gun shots not Plasma shots from the Concord but a ballistic one. She looked from her cover and saw Marco engage them. The Elsari noticed him too. The Elsari moved deeper into the Concord troop formation. PreventingSeven getting the jump on her. The Sengl Commander did get exposed to Seven as troopers left his flank to deal with Marco. Seven reattached the grenade she had in her hand to her chest. She than sheathed her combat knife back into it's holster and got up.
She grabbed her RA pistol from her hip and sprinted to the Senglo commander. The Senglo commander didn't notice Seven until she was already behind him. He tried to to counter Seven on the last moment but got shot, his shields got pierced and the bullet than shot through his head before he could even do anything. his now life less body fell to the ground. This shot alerted non except for the back of the Concord formation.
Mason and Ivan jumped down and moved in to assist Marco. "Ugh, that damn idiot can't even follow damn simple orders." Mason groaned to himself extremely frustrated. "You can say that again boss." Ivan reacted also heavily frustrated by Marco's idiocy. Marco was being overwhelmed his cover slowly melting as the plasma shots from the Concord continued to hit the rocks he was hiding behind. "Look the pressure is being taking off from us" Amelia said. "Shoot back while we can." Elena replied. Three, Five and Six had the pressure taken off them and they were able to press counter fire on the Concord formation. George didn't fire his RA minigun he didn't want to risk hitting the others. The Concord numbers now began to drop as they were being attacked on three sides.
Seven managed to take out the back of the formation and moved closer to the Elsari the Concord that got in the way got stabbed in the throat by Seven's combat knife. Seven moved her right hand up to her chest and sheathed her combat knife. She than moved her right hand over to the grenade on her chest, she detached the grenade from her chest plate and held onto it. Seven got right up behind the Elsari. She than armed the grenade and grabbed the Elsari by the neck at the same moment forcing the grenade down her throat by passing the Trinotic barriers the Elsari had put up, broke when Seven grabbed her unexpectedly by the neck which made her lose her focus.
Seven than made a half spin to build up speed and threw the Elsari 13 meters away from her into a group of Durtans. As Seven ran in the opposite direction she threw the Elsari. The Elsari burst into thousands of pieces as the grenade her throat detonated killing dozens of Durtans in the process. Seven than grabbed her RA Rifle from her back. She got behind cover as Concord soldiers began firing on her. She returned fire killing Concord after Concord each shot precisely going through the head.
Seven quickly took out tens of Concord with her RA rifle. The last hundred Concord who were left finally gave up and ran away fear of the eo called devils took hold especially after they realized Seven killed their Commander and Elsari support. George finally grabbed his RA minigun from his back, aimed it and opened fire on the fleeing Concord killing them rapidly in seconds as hunderds of rounds were unloaded into them. When George was done, he lowered his RA minigun. All Concord who fled were dead. Which he was very happy with. They all were standing together again. "Move" Mason said in a Angered tone. As he gestured to Honor team to follow him. The Riftans all except Seven looked to each. Seven moved immediately as soon Mason had finished his single word order. The others after looking at each other moved as well. They all entered a sprint when Mason started sprinting. They ran a few hundred meters killing dozens of Concord along the way. Mason stopped sprinting so honor team did the same they had stopped in a somewhat hidden position within a rock formation. it had good amount of cover and was out of the sight of Concord troops.
"Four, how many times do I have to TELL YOU A ORDER BEFORE IT GETS THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL?!" Mason yelled angrily at Marco. Marco was taken aback by Mason snapping at him. "I was trying to kill that Elsari bitch. Because Seven was taking to long to kill The bitch." Marco countered back.
"Oh, was that so huh? Did you even LOOK HOW CLOSE SEVEN WAS TO KILLING HER?!" Mason yelled again. "YOU NEARLY GOT YOURSELF KILLED AND WE WERE LUCKY THEY DIDN'T NOTICE SEVEN BEING BEHIND THEM!" Mason went on.
Seven, walked to the entrance to the position they were hidding in. While Mason was continuing on scolding Marco. Seven got in a defensive position and got down lying on the floor to remain unseen to any Concord who passed by. However as she looked through the scope of her RA rifle she saw Krovon stopping. She knew they were hearing the yelling.
Seven turned her head around to face George whom looked back at Seven. Seven raised her hand and gestured that enemies were coming. "Four, I had about enough about you, always picking fights with the others on the team. And you are also constantly defying my orders!." Mason yelled calmer as he was beginning to calm down. "If this happens one more time. you are off the team, do you-"
George placed his hand on Mason's shoulder. Interrupting Mason's scolding on Marco. "That's going to far, sir." George told Mason in somewhat disappointed tone. Mason looked at George towering a bit more than a head over Mason. "That's not for you to decide Five." Mason responded back in a calm tone. "Maybe, but we have to leave, Concord are heading to our position." George told Mason. Mason give a nod and said "Alright we'll move than. But this discussion isn't done yet Four." He finished in a deep authoritive tone to Marco.
Honor team than than climbed up the rock formation and left just before the Krovon arrived. "Look four Concord Anti Air cannons." Elena pointed as she put her RA sinper rifle back on her back. "We have to take them out if we want two Raptors coming to pick us up. However, they are protected by enegy shields. so we have to come in close to destroy them." Elena finished. "Alright, Seven, Five you will take out the one east from here. Three, and Six you deal with the Second one west from here. Four you are with me, we will deal with one north from here." Mason said as he looked at Marco making him shut up before he protested. "And you Two, will take out the one northwest from here." He finished. "I have to go out alone into the scary wild? Oh what will I do?" Ivan sarcastically joked in response. "Good Two, I know you can do it." Mason replied to Ivan. "Ha, I know boss." Ivan laughingly responded back. "And good luck to the rest of all." Mason said to the others. "Thanks, sir." George responded. "You too sir." Amelia replied. Seven nodded as she normally did.
"Thank you, now let's move. Before more of our pilots die to those anti-air cannons. "Good luck George." Elena said as George and Seven were leaving first. "Good luck too you as well Elena." Both looking at each other they both blushed underneath their helmets. Neither of them could see the other were blushing their helmets being in the way for that.
Seven shook George's arm. He got the message that they had to move now. George waved to Elena as he left with Seven. Elena waved back and after that she left too. George and Seven jumped down from a small cliff edge. And began sprinting they remained on the steep rocky hills. Avoiding most Concord on their way. One group did get in their way. Seven and George encountered Silvoths flying as they passed through a small cave. They ducked immediately behind a rock to remain hidden. The Silvoths landed on front of them. Seven unsheathed her combat knife and George unsheathed his machete. Both looked to each other knowing using guns would attract an entire swarm of Silvoths
Seven grabbed a pebble and threw next to her on the ground. It created a small sound which attracted the two Silvoths. When they got close Seven grabbed one by the neck and George grabbed the second by the neck. Both of them slit the throats of the Silvoths. Their blood splattering onto the ground.
Seven and George than got on the move again before more Silvoths arrived. As they moved a few more clicks they. Stopped and Saw 3 Silvoths pinning a League soldier to the wall they towered over him even over George by quite a bit. "Those damned females." George remarked about the Silvoths. Seven looked at George. "Let's lead with them before they rape and kill him." George said. Seven nodded both of them jumped down from the higher rocks they were standing. The Silvoths were ripping of the the armor of the League soldier as Seven and George ran at them two of the three immediately got stabbed into the torso through the heart. The third was grabbing two of her plasma pistols while still pinning the soldier to the wall with two of her four arms.
George threw his machete through the head of the third Silvoth. "Thank you Riftans" the soldier Saif as he got freed from the Silvoths. Seven nodded while George grabbed the soldier's rifle from the ground and threw over to him. "Can you get back on your own to our positions on the front?" George asked "I can sir" the soldier replied back. "Good luck to you than soldier" George said as he placed his hand on the soldiers shoulder. George and Seven than moved again climbing back up the rocks they jumped down from just moments ago.
"Seven, we only need to travel one more click we have covered 6 clicks of the 7 click journey. Will be there in a minute or two depending on our speed." George said to Seven as they were walking. When they arrived Seven climbed up to a vantage point with a good Sniping position for her RA Rifle.
While George moved in for a close up fight. Seven shot first, killing the Senglo commander of the Anti-air plasma cannon. George opened up fire with his RA minigun and began to rapidly kill off the tens of Concord guarding the anti-air cannon. Some Durtans shot back with their plasma rifles at George the plasma hitting his chest plate doing little damage. Seven shot a few more times killing a few Concord clean and straight through the head. Seven jumped down and ran over to the corpse of a Durtan. Seven grabbed a plasma grenade from a Durtan corpse. Seven walks over to the large anti-air Cannon as George finishes off the last remaining Durtan guards.
Seven opened up the door leading into the Cannon she activated the plasma grenade and threw it in the anti-air Cannon's core mechanism. Some Durtan operators were still inside but they didn't notice the grenade. Seven closed the door and back away. The entire anti-air Cannon blew up as the ammo plasma tanks of the anti-air cannon exploded as well. The entire cannon fell apart and crumbled down to the ground it's entire structure than fell down the steep rocky hill it was standing on.
Seven walked over to George. Whom stood by the edge where the cannon fell down. "Huh, that thing went boom. Always nice to see." He said in a approving tone. "Honor Five, reporting in. The east anti-air cannon, Has been eliminated." George contacted Mason through the comms. "Copy that Five, the west and north cannons, have also been dealt with. We are now waiting for the northwest cannon to be dealt with." Mason responded back.
[BOOM] they heard a loud explosion through the comms as Ivan patched into the conversation. "WOOOO, YEEEAAAHHH!!! GOOO DOWN YAH CONNYS YEEEEAHHHH!!!!" Honor team heard through their comms as Ivan was screaming. George and Seven looked to the north west and saw Ivan's work a explosion cloud going tens of meters into the air. "Hah, that's one big explosion." George remarked. "Alright Two, calm down." Mason react to Ivan. "Yeah, yeah, yah always have to ruin the fun don't yah boss?" Ivan retorted back sarcastically. "Anyway, I gotta ass out of here. I can see a fun flying conny thingies swarm flying in my direction." Ivan finished. "Alright Two. You get away from that Silvoth swarm" Mason responded. "Five and Seven a Raptor is heading your way to pick you up. Once they pick you up you'll head to my position where you will pick up four and me up." Mason told the two. "Copy that sir." George replied back, Before disconnecting. "All we have to do now is wait." George said to Seven. She gave a nod in acknowledgement. "Huh, you never say much huh Seven" George said to Seven. "I don't." Seven replied back in efficient tone unemotional tone.
The Raptor soon arrived a few minutes after. The Raptor landed on the ground it's landing gear unfolding and touching the ground after the rotors kept spinning. "Great this thing, has heavy large caliber autocannons on its side. Very useful." George said as he stepped onto into the Raptor on the right side of the Raptor. he took the left cannon. Seven stepped in after him taking the right cannon.
The Raptors twin rotors began to spin harder again and took off its land gear folding back into the Raptor. The Raptor flew 400 meters from the ground. Seven saw several Xyvraels heading towards the front lines. She opened fire on the Xyvraels their shielding holding up for a bit before their shields gave up and they go shredded by the autocannon Seven was operating.
The Raptor flew several clicks until it reached Mason and Marco. They however were under fire by Durtan soldiers and some Silvoths. Seven and George opened fire on them. Shredding them in seconds their little protection doing nothing to stop the autocannons from killing them in seconds. After it was clear the pilot of the Raptor lowered the Raptor until it got to the ground where it's landing gear folded open and the Raptor could land. Mason and Marco got on and the Raptor took off again it's landing gear folding I again into the Raptor. "Thank you George and Seven for saving us from being overwhelmed" Maco said surprisingly. Seven nodded. "Thanks, though why do you thank us when you never did before?" George asked surprised.
"Hm, fair question George. Mason and I had a talk before we attacked the north concord anti-air cannon. To keep things short he told me why I was wrong. And I'm sorry for having been a jerk all this time nver being grateful for you guys, saving when I mess up or do something stupid. I now realize how dumb I was." Marco sighed. "So thank you for being there always for me even when I didn't deserve it and I'm also sorry to you George when I dismissed your concerns about Harvest having been discovered. Before we reached the Visagrad communication array. I even insulted you for it. Even though you were the first person to greet me when i joined honor team. Like with Seven. I shouldn't have been so awful to you. I don't deserve your friendship I know that that now." Marco continued. "Thank you, Marco. That means a lot to me. And I forgive you. You realize your mistakes and apologize for it. that's the important part for me." George responded thankful. "Thank you, George." Marco replied back. Not having expected George to forgive him after everything.
"And Seven, about you. I was jealous of you, how you killed two Matriarchs. Or hunderds of enemies all on your own, without any effort. And when that Elsari a few hours ago nearly got to Amelia, George and Elena. I wanted to be the one to kill that bitch. And have all the 'glory' to myself. even though you nearly had her. I risked not just my own life but everyone's life and even yours. I was a fool an massive idiot even. And I'm really truly sorry for that." He finished. Seven looked at Marco for a few seconds before giving nod. She wasn't angry about it. Marco sat back in his seat. "I'm happy you have apologized to them Four." Mason said to Marco. "And I feel a lot better for that now than being a jerk." Marco replied back.
"Hello coming in." Ivan reached through the comms. "Me and the girls have gotten away from those fun flying conny things." Ivan jokingly said. "Good. I can see you coming close to1 joining us in flying formation." Mason responded back. "Yep we're getting close." Elena responded to Mason. "Good to hear your alright Elena and the rest of you as well." George said to Elena through the comms. "Thanks George and glad to see you and the others Alright as well." Elena responded back. The two Raptors joined in formation and headed for the cloaked Concord base. Having only 18 clicks left to cover.
