All she heard was the ringing in her ears, and her vision fading in and out. it happened so fast she couldn't even register what had just happened. She heard muffled screams and voices as she slowly came back to her senses she looked around her as she saw her fellow team and classmates followed by 2 other people in colored armor taking cover behind debris soon her hearing cleared up as she bared witness to a small warzone "Shit what the hell happened?!" yelled a man in Black and sage green armor with a X on the face of the helmet "This wasn't the plan that bitch is going off mission!" responded a girl in similar looking armor but in black and purple with a Medical logo on her arm till she looked at the girls direction "oh shit We got another survivor!" she yelled getting the black and green armored mans attention before he started shooting at the Grimm again "go I'll cover you" Locus yelled as the woman sprinted to the girl and started to remove the debris from on top of her "hey kid you alive" The woman asked as she pulled out a purple gun the started to charge a green pulse "W-What is that" the girl yelled trying to pry herself out of rubble "easy there this is checking your body to make sure your still in one piece on the inside" the woman said as the light soon faded before she put it away and pulled off the rest of the rubble and offering a hand "You in pain?" She asked the girl "N-no I'm fine" she said before she was pulled to her feet "Its not safe here kid either fight or flight your call" Jannah said as the girl Shook her head "no I still got some fight in me but right now we need to get everyone-" ruby was cut off before a barrage of missiles came and hit the building on top of them "SAM!"

as CSJE was prepping for tonight's attack all of them stayed quiet as they prepped their respected equipment Locus was tacking apart his rifle and SAW and cleaning them out and tweaking the sights to make sure they fit to his liking. Jannah was prepping her ammo and making sure her medical gear was in their respected pouches for easy access along with her medical plasma pistol was fully charged, Elli was tweaking her drones and everyone's armor along with giving them a new paintjob cause she felt they needed some more popping out features and as for Felix he was removing his eye contacts and shaving his hair down some before re-dying it brown with an orange streak going down the middle and shaving down the stubble he'd grown during his time here with his knife "y'know one of these days your gonna cut yourself with that" Elli joked as she applied the final touches of the paint to the armors "so I've been told and the fuck do you think your doing to my armor" Felix said as he wiped his face clean of the shaving cream before Elli showed them the armor "just figured this gonna be our first full squad assignment together so I figured I'd fix up our armor and give them a look touch up" she said as she showed the armor with new paint on them free of battle scared paint but retaining that war metal look with their logos decaled on the chest for each armor "well damn they do look good, nice work Elli" Felix said as he put on his jumpsuit then his armor "Felix?" "Yeah" Felix questioned as he looked to his partner "are you gonna inform us of what happened this morning between you and team RWBY?" Locus asked as he and the others put on their armor "well that's a story really but lets just say I think Blake is starting to get suspicious of me she's always had an eye open for anything that smells like trouble for her givin her history" Felix said as he slipped on his helmet "should we do something" Elly asked as she prepped a CITG "no we hold our cover for a little while longer for now were going back to make some final adjustments for the final plan tonight "Felix said as the group got in a small circle and they were teleported

as the sound of the CITG was heard, all four of the team were in the room but one of them was on the ground holding her stomach "oh god that fucking sucks, how do you guys do it!?" she asked in pain as she laid on the ground as Jannah looked at her before patting her back "you'll get used to it don't worry" She said as she walked off into the base "that doesn't help you asshole" Elli moaned in discomfort as the vertigo after affect from the CITG was effecting her. "so mind telling me what were doing here we don't need any resupplies yet we have plenty for the firefight were about to cause" Elly asked as everyone look at Felix typing something on the console before inserting a chip and continuing typing away at the console "just making some last minute alterations if needed if so this will be our next move" Felix said as he pulled out the drive and inserted it into his data wrist pad. afterwards he grabs a black sling rucksack and put it on "Locus how's our window looking?" Felix asked as Locus typed on his data pad six hours max, but lets be ready by and hour prior" the sniper replied "good take this time to grab anything we may need for tonight ALL possibilities expectable." Felix ordered as he grabbed a rolled up paper and stored it followed by a ammo box, Locus grabbing a back-up Suppressor and 8x24 thermal scope, Janna grabbing syringes and trauma kits along with several plasma kit batteries, and Elly grabbing her T.E.D's (Tracer Explosive Drones) spare batteries for assistance with her semblance and EMP Module after everyone resupplied they all met up again in the hanger housing a hybrid bullhead fitting the Standard UNSC D-77 VTOL Pelican with its paint job of UNSC sage green with a Decal of two Viking theme Axe's on the sides with the words Renegade painted underneath in a Blue and Orange theme as the bay doors drop down from the read "okay team load up the second the second wheels touch down make your way to your objectives and set up. Locus your on overwatch, Elly your heading to the control room to run interference, Jannah your on crowd control" Felix ordered as the three stood at attention and saluted "YES SIR!" They all said in unison which cause Felix to smile cause for once he can finally say that he's leading a team of sliders that he's proud of "damn right. now get a move on lets go!" Felix yelled as the team embarked on the VTOL and ascended into the air going to their mission.
