Chapter 13 - 13: Move out

...

"Okay, let me see..."

As the commander reads the paper, the rest of us continues to eat with zoe going back for a third refil.

Furrowing his brow, the commander folds up the paper and starts eating aswell. With zoe sitting back down and starting to eat on her third portion and then asking, "so what was in the letter commander?"

Pausing for a bit the commander looks at both of me, then back to zoe. "It's new instructions, and it's an official mission so everyone finish up quickly and get ready to move out the destination is paris so everyone prepare to pack your things after eating.Johan and anastasia, you two are coming with aswell since its safer to be with us than be left alone in this place since its an order for the whole tream to move out and i am not leaving you two here alone within beast tank vicinity."

As he then hastend his eating pace, followed by zoe nearly choking mid drink after hearing that its a mission while zoya and raisa just nods and hastens their pace aswell.

Oh shit, hmm... is this what i think it is? Hmm alright... shit is happening faster than i thought, i just hope nothing much has changed thanks to my... our arrival.

...

Meanwhile somewhere in the fields not far off the ruined city's outskirts.

"Hmm.... i don't really see or feel anything off here just some more of those beast tanks running around..."

Jumping on top of one of the trees, "hmm... did i really just get sent here to check whatever she detected? This is boooooooorrrriiiiinnnnnngggggg!!!!"

As the figure then drops from the treetop and starts running, "weeeeellllllll, since i didn't see anything off in this place i'll start heading back, im getting hungry~"

...

After everyone finished eating and cleaning up, we all went our separate ways and began to quickly pack up.

Well i don't really have much to pack up, but i guess its good to have something atleast.

As i head back towards the center room of the building spotting the three girls chatting together as they check their stuff.

"Hmm, hmm~ what do i need?" Hummed zoe as she checks her gear. While raisa beams with excitement.

"Paris~ we can go shopping~"

With the commandef sighing in the corner, 'this is not a trip... and its just a suburb of paris, eh oh well... guess i won't tell them.'

With zoe humming and singing,

"Paris~ Paris~ Paris is calling mee~"

(  ̄▽ ̄)

"Knock it off, be serious." Sighs the commander, as he checks a map and plans out a route.

With zoe still bouncing around,

"I am being super-duper serious!~"

Man the dynamic of these two is crazy. Hopefully nothing much happens during the journey though i do wonder... since the game just makes you fight tanks after tanks to progress... hopefully that isn't the same in this world too...

Walking up to the commander as he looks at the map, "we are ready, so uh... now what?"

As he chuckles and folds up the map then walks towards the girls, "is everyone ready? Then lets move. You two with me on the jeep, everyone else load it up."

As well all head outside and towards the parked keep and started placing all of our stuff inside it.

"Alright, get on. You three you know what to do." As the commander then gets on the drivers seat and starts the jeep. So i hop in, anastasia riding shotgun and johan behind her as the vehicle and the group starts moving.

...

After a long while of driving through the ruined city while avoiding some skirmishes and quickly finishing or moving away from some, the group eventually leaves the ruined city and continues through a dirt road.

"You know. for not being able to remember much about your pasts, the both of you seem to know your stuff" as the commander whistles as he continues to drive the jeep down the dirt road.

Before raisa rolls up next to the jeep, "commander theres a group of beast tanks on the side of the road ahead."

With the commander nodding and ordering the girls to get ready just in case, but the beast tanks seems seems to have not seen our group, letting us through without a roar.

"Theres a bunch of beast tanks swaying around in the bushes over there... what do you guys think?" As he points towards a group of aristotles swaying around, seemingly drunk.

Looking at where the commander pointed towards some bushes and a few aristotles the group slows down, "are they drunk or something? I ask questioning the group.

With zoya nodding and squinting her eyes, "yeah from what it looks like from the swaying they are doing and some even tunbling."

"Let's go attack them!"Beams zoe as she rushes in and fires a shot with jumbo.

Boom. and hitting one straight in the shoulder and disabling its gun.

As the commander looks at the flailing monkeys, "it looks like they are enjoying themselves."

While zoe waves at zoya and raisa, "don't just stand there! Let's roll!"

...

After a quick battle and the group continues moving again. The commander sighs as he looks at what seems to be bottles of discarded wine bottles near the corpses of the defeated beast tanks, "what a terrible waste of good wine..."

...

After another few minutes of driving and traveling, the group slows down once more after spotting a group of beast tanks out on a field.

"Are... are those beast tanks carrying.... luggage?" Asks zoe as she tilts her head questioningly.

With the commander scratching his head, "what is this.... beast tanks having an outing together? Should we follow along and have a look?" As he then turns to zoya and raisa shaking their heads.

But when we all turned to look towards zoe... she was already nearing the group and then.... getting spotted by the beast tanks as zoe promptly runs back towards us.

As the commander sighs and holds his head, "why do i even bother..."

As zoe reaches us and quickly apologizes before the commander speeds up with the girls following closely next to the jeep
