Yiski:
--Council Chambers--
The explosion is heard very well despite the Chamber's thick walls. Yiski and Zill immediately draw their respective weapons and aim them at Sebastian.
Yiski
"This your doin'?"
Sebastian
"I am afraid not."
An Elite approaches the group and spoke directly to the Concil.
Elite
"There's been an explosion on the range. Technicians and weapon-smiths state the type of explosive is not one used by us."
Zill
"Any casualties?"
Elite
"Only one. Lieutenant Lauren has been taken to the infirmary."
Before Zill could even turn to look at Yiski, Yiski was already opening the doors. Zill quickly moved and forced the doors closed again.
Zill
"Are you insane?! The hell are you thinking?"
Yiski
"You know what in the blazin' skies I'm thinkin'! I'm goin' to murder whoever hurt Lauren!"
Zill
"You honestly think you can do anything while in your cast?"
Yiski grunted and Zill assumed he got through to Yiski. Next thing Zill realizes is Yiski shattering his cast with the stock of Blood Bolt and stamping his left leg against the ground.
Yiski
"What cast?" *Looks to the Elite* "Give the orders to set lockdown and I want the bloody batteries all active! I want all radiomen to verify all and any vessels approaching this city! If a vessel doesn't answer, make sure you don't miss."
Yiski then pushes Zill aside and opens a Chamber door. Watching the ground and rooftops, Yiski quickly makes his way to the infirmary.
Once there, Yiski notices a group of guards. They notice him and direct him into Lauren's room. He quickly notices Lauren, unconscious, in bed with a doctor looking over her.
Yiski
"How is she?"
Doctor
"Lucky. The techs described the bomb as an incendiary device with medium blast radius. The Lieutenant only suffered a few minor burns. Had the bomb been a fragmentation bomb..."
Yiski
"No need to say more doc. I get it."
Yiski leaves the infirmary with Blood Bolt sitting gently in his hands. The entire area was secure and Yiski turned his attention to the rooftops. Scanning, he notices a brief lens flare which could only be made by another rifle or sniper scope.
Immediately, Yiski drops to his right knee and aims Blood Bolt where he spotted the lens flare.
Yiski
"TWO UNKNOWN TARGETS ON RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT RED ROOF 100 METERS! ENGAGING!"
Yiski opened fire while guards and defenders rushed to the location.
RearAdmiralZill:
-Council Chambers-
A soft explosion could be heard in the chambers. The council didn't flinch, but Zill certainly noticed. Him and Yiski pointed guns at Sebastian.
Zill
"You guys install a new doorbell?"
Yiski immediately bolted, thinking of Lauren. The council was quick to say something offensive...
(9)
"Commander, you don't have the authority to leave."
Zill
"And you simply don't have any authority at this point."
Yiski ran out. The council started mumbling, and Zill about had it.
Zill
"Instead of mumbling to yourselves about nothing, put Sebastian in a secured facility, and get your guard moving."
He lit a cigar from his jacket pocket and took a long drag. Then, he had some Elites secure Sebastian, and take him to the holding cells of the chambers. He shook his head and walked to the door. A council member stopped him.
(2)
"Admiral, if you continue to undermine our authority of this city, we will have no choice but to discharge you from duty and hold you for treason."
Zill
"Finally gave up trying to kill me off did yea? No guards while I'm out, yet Yiski and company is so important? That northern mission would of bee a snowy hell I bet. Or how about the tesla boats. That was clever.
He took off his mask, revealing his face to them.
Zill
"Make sure you remember this face. It'll be the one thing, that no matter how much you throw at it, will never succumb to your uselessness as leaders."
At that, he replaced his mask, and walked out with a trail of smoke following him.
-City Center-
As Jun'ko was headed back to the armory, she saw the explosion. Instinct kicked in, and she ran as fast as she could, followed by her guards. She got there pretty quickly, ahead of the others.
Jun'ko
"What happened??"
Technician
"A bomb from the look of it. Wasn't ours. The commander's girlfriend was hurt along with a few others."
Jun'ko
"Lauren?! Where is she???"
Technician
"They took her to the infirmary."
She then heard gunshots and saw Yiski firing on the rooftops. She saw movement on top and bolted for the building, the guard forced to follow. She got to Yiski and tapped his shoulder.
Jun'ko
"Are they pinned?"
Gryphos:
--Rooftop--
Yiski's shot hit the mercenary square in the chest, penetrating straight through the armour and practically sending him flying off the rooftop. On the shot the Wyrm started to return fire. He was caught off guard but experience made him ready for the skirmish. He yelled out to the street behind him.
Wyrm
"Move in, cover me!"
Then from around a corner came around ten of the Wyrm's goons, armed with guns. They then fired upon the street from any makeshift cover available. The Wyrm then went into a crouched position on the roof and yelled at the ground forces.
Wyrm
"It's too soon for this! Hold the line! Cover me!"
And with that the Wyrm leapt straight off the roof into a dump, rolling off into the ranks of his men. He then pulled out his rifle and joined the fray.
Skyraider:
The explosion had startled Sky, causing him to drop his work and head out. He managed to find Zill, before he could call out, he heard gunshots in the distance.
Sky
"What the hell was that? Zill are we under attack? First an explosion and now gunshots?"
Sky loaded his bolt-action rifle, and said one more thing.
Sky
"Whatever it is, fortune favors the bold. And right now, someone is either acting really stupid, or brave."
BdrLineAzn:
The four arrives to the area and are met with the sound of gunfire and ricocheting bullets. They all move to cover. Nelson and Bell takes out their rifles and start aiming at the mercenary's line. Althea takes out her duel pistols and yells to BdrLine.
Althea
"Bdr in need to find the Commander, I'm still need to protect him."
BdrLine
"Alright, but come with me to my room, my rifle is still in there."
Althea
"Ok, I give you covering fire then."
From her wall, Althea takes a deep breath and pops up and starts shooting. The modified pistols start to shred the cover the enemy is behind from. From his corner, BdrLine moves away and he And Althea goes towards his room near the machinist shop. Inside his room, he spots his new rifle and loads a magazine.
BdrLine
"I'm ready to go."
They two exits the room and back to the battle. There they spot Yiski and goes up to him.
Althea
"Commander"
BdrLine
"No rest for the wicked huh?"
