BEATRIX THE XII

I've trained to become a warrior, I've trained for moments like this, and I've fought in many battles, and I now have the rank captain. The battle continued, they had walked into the Tartarus Core, they knew the enemy had set a trap for them, they had walked right into it. Now taking their final stand on top of a rocky bridge/archway, Captain Beatrix XII leads her troops.

Shouting into the COM channel, Beatrix barked orders. "Protect that Blitz at all costs!"

Being stuck on a bridge wasn't fun, and being pushed back more onto the bridge wasn't fun either, which meant deeper into the Tartarus Core

Being stuck on a bridge wasn't fun, and being pushed back more onto the bridge wasn't fun either, which meant deeper into the Tartarus Core. Their mission was to fight through the Bloodthirsty reach the portal that led to the Arctis.

Captain Beatrix stood beside the last Blitz, it fired away with its twin guns pounding the incoming horde of Bloodthirsty monsters, ranging from a huge Malgoth all the way in the back, slowly making its way forward.

Last but not least Flesh Artillery. Pounding them in return, from a safe distance.

The Blitz started to back up, they were just too many enemies even she couldn't cut down that many foes. Beatrix looked over her shoulder behind her the rear guard, consisting of a few Righteous Soldiers, just men with guns scared-to-death, that is why she put in the rearguard so that wouldn't have to fight right away, they on the other hand were the closest to the Blight behind them, the Blight, a red fog where a bunch of Bloodthirsty was hidden.

It was clear to her that the enemy was trying to push them into the fog. Where they would be dead for sure. She then looked back at the front. The last five remaining Knights were doing their jobs.

Swinging their 7 foot long swords in arcs in front of them, wearing power suits, they could hold for some time before the enemy broke through them

Swinging their 7 foot long swords in arcs in front of them, wearing power suits, they could hold for some time before the enemy broke through them. She thought over her options once more. "We're going to punch through them men, triangle formation!" Even though a good chunk of her men was scared, they knew how to listen to orders.

"CHARGE!" Leading at the point of the triangle they hand-formed, wielding her energy sword, Light of Acheron, in her left hand, she swung it at the nearest Bloodthirsty abomination, the creature of flesh fell to the ground. Being pushed back more uphill gave them the advantage in this maneuver they were doing. Because now they were charging downhill gaining momentum. 

The Knights beside her, in the front of the triangle with her, helped cut a path through the mass of Bloodthirsty. The rookies, the soldiers with guns, and with little to nothing else knew how to use this maneuver, they shot at anything her knights and herself didn't kill off.

The Blitz rolled down after them running over multiple monsters. One of the Bloodthirsty creatures let out a surprised screech before the Blitz crushed it sending blood and guts everywhere.

The mass of red flesh, now torn down the middle, began to come together once more, the dead planned on making their triangle become a circle, then they would compress them and finish them off. The dead were intelligent one of their leaders must be nearby to command the flesh. We aren't going to make it. Beatrix thought. NO, I WILL NOT DIE HERE I'M GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS UNIVERSE!

The Bloodthirsty came together again, but just as Beatrix and her men cut their way through. Standing at the opening she swung her sword again, again, and again taking down several more Bloodthirsty making their exit wider.

One of the Knight's fought his way over to her, "Ma'am the troops are requesting a rallying point, where too?"

"Retreat back to Razogoth's Grave," she replied.

VYANDER

He knelt down before, Excelsitus they were in the bridge of an Apex. "Rise, Vyander." He rose, standing up to his full height 6'8". "You know your mission?" Excelsitus asked.

"Yes," Vyander replied in his deep-cold voice.

"Good, take whatever men you need take control of the Pantheon. With it, we will crush the Imperials first then everyone else."

"I obey."
