...
At the moment the beast tanks rushes out of the bushes the commander shouts, "Fire!"
As zoe being the closes to the beast tank grpup that rushed in blasts aqay a rushing racoon while evergone else starts engaging the others.
With the beast tanks and our group being effectively in CQC an unceremoniously fierce brawl occurs with shells flying past legt and right.
With zoya and nelly wrestling and fighting against a bear beast tank, while zoe, lena, and raisa are scrambling against some gorillas and monkeys.
Meanwhile both of me, the commander and prima are running and kiting around some chasing racoons and monkeys as best we could while taking potshots back when we eventually get to another piece of tree cover.
After a tiring while, we all come out relatively unscathed from the sudden fierce ambush.
"Is.... hufff... everyone alright? huff....."
Exhales the commander, catching his breath after running for a while with anastasia, johan and prima.
"Phew... it was no big deal after all." Sighs zoe as she checks on jumbo and taks a breather.
With nelly checking on her teammates and nodding, "all good here. Just a few scratches here and there for prima." Who gives a nod.
As zoya and raisa reports themselfs being fine aswell.
"All good for me wnd my brother."
"Yep. Just a tad bit tired but we can still go on." I say with a slight tease seeing the commander's ragged state. Making the others chuckle a bit.
But before we could all rest a bit more, the atmosphere suddenly shifts and the air becomes full of tension as the commander then breaks out in a cold sweat making him sigh, "i see... i guess that was jist the appetizer. So here comes the main course..."
As a grayish shadow could be seen moving through the trees ans is slowly moving towards our group.
". . . ."
As the figure continues to move towards our group, everyone except for both of me starts somewhat visibly shaking and some like zoe with trembling legs as we all look towards that humanoid creature infront of all of us, the air is thick with dread.
With the creature now exiting through the trees and out into the sunlight it chimes, "ooh! Something smells good!"
And with that. Silence, dead silence reign all around the creature.
'I see. I guess this is the lart where the commander encountered her. And yeah i can see why how she could be scary at first with how she looks. Though she does have some charm on her. Later on in the game story atleast...'
Due to everyone being deathly silent, the creature sighs, "does no one have anything to say? I'm booored..."
Bur before it could take another step, the commander shouts loudly, "Everyone... Fire!"
With the commander's shout, evergone snaps out of their terrified daze as they all unload their cannons towards it, with me following alongside and shooting a few shots at it.
After a while, with smoking barrels the guns all fall silent after heavy fire.
As a footstep could be heard walking through the smoke, the humanoid creature walks put of the cloud of gunpower smoke and dust in one piece without a scratch on it.
Coughing while waving away the smoke the creature shouts back, "It's rude to fire without first introducing yourself!" As it then braces for an attack as growls and roars of beast tanks could be heard appearing and rushing nearby.
Seeing this the commander jumps back a bit before shouting, "Everyone, be careful!"
As the creature's "twintails" mouth open and shoots at our group. As zoe, lena, the commander and raisa quickly jump out of the way of the creature's attack.
And as if on cue the beast tanks all around us all start rushing in aswell, the commander quick to his feet orders the attack, "quick! Defend yourselfs! Fire!"
And with that. An intense firefight starts.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Bang. Boom. Bang.... etc.
With the creature hanging back and taking some potshots. Not caring one bit about where it is aming. And just letting the beast tanks overwhelm us. It chuckles.
As we all fight back wave after wave of aproaching beast tanks, with zoya and nelly in the frontlines backed by zoe. Lena and raisa covering each other while kiting and shokting back at the flanking beast tanks, prima, anastasia and johan are behind overring support and intreruptions. The commander is dodging and weabing from tree to tree avoiding tray shells that could hit him.
As our situation keeps getting eorde and worse the commander thinks, 'our whole group will eventually be wiped out if we don't withdraw and escape from this battle. But the moment we run we ill get into a chase, and i don't know what that creature is capable off either! But theres no time to think about it!'
As the commander then shouts to our group while everyoneis busy in the midst of the firefight, "Everyone! Fall back!"
Hearing the commander's orders, the girls deftly nod while making a fighting retreat. And after a while we finally manage go stagger back to the passage that we took to get here while the creature continues to watch our group in the distance.
Once we've all fully entered the passage, nelly orders it to be blown up to block it up and with a swift nod, prima and nelly each shoot the corner of the supporting beams of the tunnel entrance/exit.
Even more out of breath, the commander gasps for air, "huff.... huff... Don't stop. We need to keep retreating as fast as we can."
With a nod everyone continues to run back towards the institue and eventually back outside of it, and fortunately we manage to break away from the enemy.
Resting at a nearby empty bunker wall, we all take our breathes from the battle and running.
