...
After traveling a bit further and escaping the chasing group of beast tanks that zoe alerted, and avoiding a few more groups in the vicinity.
"Fortunately, we managed to slip on by of the more sober and bloodthirsty beast tanks or else we would have been quickly routed and falling because of a mass attack from the surrounding beast tanks." Comments the commander as he contines to drive along the dirt road again.
With zoe pouting and looking down and twiddling her fingers, "sorry..."
The commander spotting a glimpse at zoe then adds, "it's OK, as long as you realize that what you did was bad so let's move on."
With zoe feeling slightly better and nodding, "yes."
...
After another few kilometers, we saw another group of beast tanks with luggages as the commander then slows the jeep down with the others also slowing to a stop around what seems to be a surburban grassland.
As the girls then gets low, with the commander and both of me ducking low.
Zoya is the first to speak, "oh wow, why are there so many... and i looks like the beast tanks are partying here."
As raisa pulls zoe back, "shhhh... this is the limit, we can't get any closer."
With the commander peeking out of a small hill, "as long as we're not found, there should be no problem"
But just after the commander says that, one of the Archimedes roars towards our group.
"What! We were found!?" Exclaims the commander.
With zoe looking down, "sorry.... jumbo was spotted."
As the commander looks at her with a deadpan stare.
"Sorry..." says zoe as she looks down and pouts.
As multiple roars could be heard rushing to our location, the commander and both of me quickly hop on the jeep as the girls gets ready to fight.
"Get ready for battle! Zoe i will need you to hand in a 20,000 word essay reflecting on your mistakes when we return to the academy!" As the commander starts the jeep and drives off.
With zoe doing a double take and then paling, "what! No, sir, c'mon!"
As the girls follow behind the jeep as the shells starts flying back and forth.
...
After another long while of running away and having escaped or defeated some of the beast tanks that managed to catch up or got in the way, the commander comments,
"The scenery on the outskirts of paris is still good, but it's really far away..."
With zoe nodding, "when are we gonna get there? My legs are getting numb from the vibratons of my tracks..."
Raisa joking and saying, "you will get used to it, escort missions are much, much worse!"
As i was listening to everyone's banter with anastasia, on johan having borrows the commander's binoculars i was scanning the horizon when i spot movement on the hillside we are slowly closing in on as i start talking to the commander.
"I spot movement on the hills infront of us!"
As the commander then nods and slows the jeep, "get ready, clear them out. Nice spot they could have ambused us"
As the girls then rushed forwards as they spot some of the beast tanks hidden behind the hill and a few bushes.
...
After what seems like hours but is actually just 38 minutes, the commander stops the jeep having arriving at the designated location... which is the base of a very large and seemingly old tree.
As the commander says to way by the jeep then started walking towards it and by a small hole on the side of the tree a box could barely be seen inside of it as the commander pulled it out and then inspected it.
"It was ingenious to hide an important document inside a tree... hm? A custom made seal? Must be highly confidential then..."
As raisa then shouts to the commander after fighting off some beast tanks that has strayed nearby, "sir, the retreat route is now clear."
As the commander carries the box back to the jeep, "good. Lets roll, anastasia can you hold on to this for me for the meanwhile?"
As i nod and accept the box as the commander then gets on the jeep and starts it, ordering the girls to retreat. Much to the girl's dismay.
"Huh? We're leaving now? What about shopping? The galeries lafayette... i can see paris right there!" Pouts zoe as sshe points towards the city.
As the commander stifles and chuckle, "you can go if you want to, but you would be disobeying orders. Want to add another ten thousand words tacked onto that essay?"
With zoe balling one of her fist and shaking them, "why, you..."
...
After obtaining the confidential documents within the box, before the jeep and the group began moving, the commander received an emergency rescue signal that the base was attacked.
With the commander frowning, "seems like i was right to have you two come..."
Hearing this zoe cuts in, "if we go now, is there still time?"
With zoya answering, "if we move at full speed, we might just get there in time."
"Talking about it now is useless, lets hurry. The other forces nearby should be able to support and head to the base aswell." As the commander then nods to the girls letting them "run" off first as he then slams on the gass pedal and follows after them.
...
"The road is clear! Lets move on!" As zoya shouts as zoe and raisa nods with the jeep following closely behind after clearing off a group of beast tanks that strayed onto the dirt path.
With the girls "running" as fast as their tracks could get them and the jeep following behind in pursuit, the commander fully focused on tbe road with myselfs hanging on as best as both of me could...
Well anastasia's seat was easier to hang on to, but as for johan... lets just say that i was tossed around like im inside a washing machine...
