Seven was falling down rapidly back to the planet's surface. Her armor was beginning to burn as she was entering the thicker part of the upper atmosphere. Her Excalibur MK4 however could easily handle the heat. She was falling towards hilly area on the surface of Harvest. Not to far from New Amsterdam the capital of Harvest. She Braced herself for ground impact. She adjusted herself as she was beginning to approach the ground after a few minutes. She adjusted her back to to be hit first when she would hit the ground. She removed her RA Rifle and RA shotgun and held them against her torso. On her descent she was approaching a tall hill. She finally made contact with the ground but she was lucky.
She hit the side of the hill back first. So she slid down it, the hill slowed her rapid speed she build up from falling from space. She went from a few kilometers a second to a few hundred meters as she slid across the side of the 400 meter tall hill. It was also smooth luckily for her, so it was gonna get as comfortable of a landing she could have. She finally got to a flat area down the hill where she counted onwards for a hundred meters. Before finally stopping.
Her back to the impact her armor protected her from any injury. She let go of her weapons, they fell onto the ground next to her. She stood up though she wasn't wounded but she did still feel it. But after taking a moment to recover from the crash she looked around no Concord. She looked at her weapons both were still intact her RA pistol was also still intact.
She picked up her RA Rifle and RA shotgun. And equipped them both back onto her back. She than looked to the sky and held onto George's tags, as she saw the Concord supercarrier now in torn apart pieces, now falling to the ground in the distance. Seven walked into the opposite direction before turning into a full blown sprint.
Date: 22-08-2550. 07:16 AM. Location: outskirts of New Amsterdam.
Seven walked up the side of a large rocky hill. She stopped when she reached the top. George's tags were dangling in Seven's left hand as she saw New Amsterdam started being besieged and scorched by the Concord. As their ships were now entering the city as the League's colossi moving defense platforms were being destroyed. Seven gripped onto George's tags a little harder before stuffing them away. And grabbing her RA Shotgun. She than jumped down the hill than gliding on the it's side downwards.
Date: 22-08-2550. 07:42 AM. Location: New Amsterdam.
Seven moved down the side of a building hold he RA shotgun in one hand and RA pistol in her other, she was running low on bullets for them her shotgun only had 21 rounds left her pistol only 26. She remained hidden to the shadows and watched in the Concord, they were moving in now into the city. This platoon of tens of Durtans and a few Senglos. They were slaughtering the civilian population.
The Senglo the commander of the Concord platoon walked upto a 5 year old girl holding onto the corpes of her now dead parents, crying and sobbing. The Senglo had his Plasma sword activated, he kicked the 5 year old girl against the ground. Grabbed her by the neck and sliced her guts out. The little girl screamed in absolute pain before the Senglo sliced his energy sword into the girl's face killing her. He than threw the corpse of the girl to the wall of a building, Before moving on.
A Durtan shot down a young family of four fleeing the kids only being two and four years old. And the parents in their 20's they were gunned down by the Durtan. A different Durtan gunned down a building's ground floor dozens of civilians dead. Than a 60 meter tall colossus was moving down the wide street it's high caliber autocannon ripped through the Concord platoon. Saving the remaining fleeing civilians. It than halted and fired it's twin light class mass accelerator cannons, onto a 2 kilometer long Concord cruiser moving in the distance. It hit the shields of the Concord cruiser, it's shields didn't buckle as it returned plasma fire, those tore through Colosus, it than fell down onto the base of a skyscraper probably killing dozens more civilians but Seven wasn't sure, as she was moving again. She tried the comms but there was only static. The Concord were jamming comm systems and communication in the capital of Harvest.
Seven moved in the alleyways one Senglo got into her way but her RA shotgun handled the Senglo with a single shot. Which ripped through the Senglos shielding. Killing him instantly as she shotgun's round spreads into smaller pieces, hitting every part of his torso destroying his major organs. His thick armor didn't provide any proper defense against it either.
Seven continued onwards she found a ladder closed behind a gate, in the alleyway. She walked over to it she ripped off the gate to the ladder. She put her arms on the ladder first than her feet, she than climbed upwards, finishing up on the 400 meter tall building the ladder was attached too. It gave a her a better view of the city. What she saw was only but complete collapse of league forces across the city. League's Colossi were being destroyed rapidly now. Smaller Concord ships were being shot out of the sky by the colossi but only a few.
Civilians were still being evacuated in evacuation shuttles but they were mostly being shot out of the sky by Concord fighters or ripped open by Concord AA guns or Silvoths just in time getting on board those shuttles before they could go too full speed, and ripped apart the shuttles from within and slaughtering any civilian on board.
Seven after looking at the city jumped to the neighboring building, she landed on the roof of the other building. She than walked over to the door on the roof of the building and opened it, checking for any dangerous. She walked down the stairs of the building checking for any Concord in the building She didn't see any. She made her way down the building no Concord until she reached the ground floor where a Senglo and several Durtans were looking for humans. Seven grabbed her RA rifle from her back and aimed dead silent. Than she opened fire killing the Senglo and Durtans they didn't even have time to react before they were all dead.
Seven ran through dozens of streets killing a hundred Concord on her way. She attracted a lot of attention so more Concord began swarming her. She pulled back her RA rifle only had 31 rounds left. She hadn't used her other weapons. She retreated back into a building which was still fully intact. She existed on the back side of the building. She got away from the Concord. Seven entered another building, she walked up a few floors to get another vantage point somewhat hidden from Concord.
She saw a group of soldiers whom were engaging a group of Concord troops. Seven aimed her RA rifle which she fired on the approaching Concord troops killing 13. The League soldiers, got some room to retreat and they did getting away before getting they would get overrun. Seven as well retreated from her position. She saw Concord entering the building she was in. She placed her RA rifle back on her back and switched to her combat knife.
The first Concord to die in the building was a squad of five Senglos. Seven engaged them first she sliced into the necks of two just below the speed that would have active their shields and blocked her attack otherwise. The other three activated their plasma swords for close quarters combat in the hallway of the building. Seven grabbed one Senglo's wrist as he attacked first she crushed his wrist unprotected by his armor mostly. Seven than ripped off his hand from his arm grabbed the plasma sword, from the now severed Concord hand. The other two were already on her just as she properly equipped the plasma sword in her right hand. She blocked one swing from one plasma sword and dodged the other. She punched one Senglo really hard into a wall his shields protected him, From being killed. The severed hand Senglo retreated. The other Senglo that wasn't in the wall tried to jump seven. But she grabbed him by the throat and crushed it killing him.
The last Senglo got into a short fierce duel. Seven barely blocked the several quick precise strikes from the Senglo. But she countered with a hard strike. This pushed back the Senglo but he was on her again. She blocked and pa She blocked and parried the strike. She countered with her plasma sword. The Senglo blocked it. Seven could her Concord troops down the hallway behind the Senglo. Durtans from what it sounded like. Seven side stepped the Senglo but he quickly countered Seven from attacking his back. The Durtans were almost here.
Seven blocked another attack and kicked against the Senglo's stomach. He dropped his plasma sword Seven grabbed it. She walked up to the now disarmed Senglo and killed him stabbing him through the exposed face. The Durtans finally got around the corner but Seven was already on them she sliced through them with ease. They never had energy shielding making it very easy for the plasma swords slicing through the Durtans armor. Seven picked up four plasma grenades from their corpses as she was moving through the upper floors slaying them dead.
Seven killed every single Concord soldier in the building with her that weren't on the ground floor level of the building. Some more senglos got in her way again very close fights due to them out numbering her. But they weren't elite duelists. Seven reached the ground floor she pushed her back against the wall, as she deactivated her plasma swords. And peaked out her head a bit from behind the wall to look behind it. She saw that the main lobby that had the entrance, was swarming with Durtans and a few Senglos again but also some Silvoths had arrived. She decided to wipe them out instead of going through the back entrance.
She moved her hand over to the Plasma grenades and grabbed on of them. She activated it, and threw it across the lobby. Some Concord realized and got behind cover. The rest didn't realize until it was to late. The grenade landed and exploded killing very Concord in it's 16 meter blast radius.
As the surviving Concord got from behind cover, Seven was already onto them her, plasma sword engaged. She wiped through the first thrid of Concord before they got from cover and began firing on her. Seven got behind cover throwing another plasma grenade. Killing dozens more Concord, and distracting them. As she got back on the move killing dozens more. Before two Senglo intercepted her, with their plasma swords. Seven parried the first of their strikes.
Seven than countered by grabbing the first Senglo's wrist, than crushing it into a pulp. Causing him to drop his plasma sword. The second Senglo made a hard swing Seven, side stepped right wards and grabbed the Senglo by the throat, with her left hand as she stood now next to the over extended Senglo. She than crushed his throat into a pulp as well, killing him instantly.
The second Senglo retreated grabbed a plasma pistol from his side. Seven got down behind cover barely missing the plasma shots. A Silvoth was crawling behind cover on her way to kill Seven. However, Seven detected her movement and grabbed the Silvoth by the neck with two hands and ripped off her head from her body, the Silvoth died instantly.
Seven grabbed her thrid grenade and threw it in the direction of the last Concord it land and killed the last remaining Concord. The lobby was now completely scorched and started burning from the plasma grenades. Seven got up from behind cover and walked to the back of the building. Seven attached her new plasma swords to her side.
Seven stopped at a Senglo's corpse who had died in a plasma grenade from her. She grabbed three grenades from him, and a Concord plasma carbine and it was still fully charged with plasma. A few hundred rounds she knew. It wasn't as great with dealing with shielded opponents as her RA weapons. But it was better to deal with enemies and spare her ammunition of her RA weapons.
She placed the carbine on her lower back, her final weapon slot she could put weapons away. Through she did still have on final slot for another pistol on her side. Seven now continued to walk to the back of the building and took the back exist having the cover of a alleyway. Seven heard gunshots ballistic ones, She moved immediately.
When she existed the alleyway, she saw a Senglo about to kill a little boy only 4 years old the boy's father was already dead his corpses just lying next to Seven. The Senglo and boy were only three meters from her. Seven immediately got to them, She grabbed the unsuspecting Senglo's hand and crushed it a pulp, before he could even touch the little boy. Seven than grabbed him by the neck and ripped off his head. The boy was scared and crying. Seven walked over to him and picked up the boy placing him over her shoulder. He felt a lot safer now. Seven ran while carrying the boy over to the run fire.
She placed her back against the wall and peaked her head slightly over the corner of the wall, to check the fight, league soldiers the Concord were mostly dealt with, she noticed. These League soldiers were wearing exo robot suits giving them full protection. They were killing the last of the Concord in this street. hunderds of Concord lied dead on the street. Seven quickly got from the wall she was hidding behind and over to the League Soldiers.
They saw Seven approaching and lowered their weapons realizing she was a Riftan and carrying a boy. A female league soldier in her mech suit ran over as Seven reached them. Seven give her the boy, the woman started crying happy seeing her son again hugging him desperately. She lost him earlier with her husband. She looked up to Seven but she shook her head her husband was dead. The female league soldier was sad but at least glad her son was alright.
"Thank you for saving my son and bringing him back to me Riftan" she said to Seven gave a nod to her.
The boy than looked to Seven and said thank you to her. Seven gave a soft nod. Before walking over to the lieutenant of this platoon of league troops. "Thank you Riftan, you saved her son she was dying from concern for her son and husband. Sad her husband didn't make it." The lieutenant said to Seven.
"But anyway, I'm Lieutenant Alessandro Rossi. And currently my platoon's objective, we are waiting for the last 63 civilians in this area they will arrive soon escorted by a different platoon. When they arrive we will head for the roof top where shuttles are waiting for us." Lieutenant Rossi explained. "I need transport myself." Seven said in a unemotional tone. Lieutenant Rossi looked at Seven his face was covered by the Tritanium A3 helmet of his but his pose suggested a bit of confusion. That Seven didn't want to go with them. He nodded, "Sure some off our Raptors are still her with the shuttles you can take one as we will be leaving Harvest." The lieutenant said.
"But you sure you don't want to come with us?" He asked Seven. "I'm sure." Seven again said in her unemotional tone. "Alright than Riftan if that's what you want." Lieutenant Rossi said. "But could you help us at least? We overstretched, I'm commanding two companies of 350ish troops combined, our captains are dead. And protecting this 800 meter tall military building is hard with so few men. So we could really use your help until we evacuate with the civilians." He asked Seven.
Seven gave a nod." Where are the other military personal?" Seven asked in a quick efficient somewhat cold tone. "The former personal of this military base seemed to evacuated before we arrived." Lieutenant Rossi responded to Seven's question. Seven didn't reply back to Lieutenant Rossi's response.
She instead readied her Plasma carbine. "Huh, nice weapon. I have seen many like it." Lieutenant Rossi said. Seven didn't respond. "You do not like talking do you?" He asked her. "No." Seven said coldy. "Fair, I guess." Lieutenant Rossi, replied as he readied his own rifle.
"Sir they are approaching, they got the remaining civilians and are only a street away." A soldier pointed. "Good" Lieutenant Rossi responded. "But i see Concord, following them, so get ready" Lieutenant Rossi responded and ordered. Aimed her plasma carbine and fired six shots each a direct hit on the heads of the unarmored and unclothed bodies Silvoths, each of their head was burn through as the plasma shots.
From Seven hit their heads, they fell to the ground with their now lifeless corpses. "Good shot Riftan" Lieutenant Rossi, remarked. Seven fired at a few Durtans next, their faces all melting as Seven, head shot each of them. The platoon with the civilians finally arrived only a few of them were dead. "Everyone into the building!" Lieutenant Rossi shouted the squad of 12 mechanized soldiers retreated when all civilians got into the building.
Seven was the last to enter the building she closed the door. Seven looked back and saw a heavy piece of debris laying next to the door. She grabbed it and placed it in front of the door. This would slow the Concords a bit but not for long, as dozens of Silvoths that were also following the civilians just now. bumped up against the reinforced highly durable glass windows. They began firing at the window with their plasma pistols quickly beginning to melt the window.
Everyone moved upto the second floor Seven followed from behind all of them. Seven, placed a plasma grenade at the stairs and when everyone was far enough she detonated it. Blocking off the stairwell for the Concord, in that section of the base. Lieutenant Rossi, ran over to the comms of the base and contacted everyone, "Everyone retreat, the civilians are here so get to the roof we will evacuate immediately!" Lieutenant Rossi shouted his order through the base's internal comms system. Adrenaline was rushing through him.
They made it several floors up before the first Concords got in their way it were Silvoths who broke into the base a few dozen floors up that were lightly defended. The Silvoths killed dozens of league troops before they were put down by Seven and several ofter troops. They continued on even quicker now. Seven now took point, she grabbed a Concord plasma pistol from the corpse of a dead Silvoth.
Seven equipped the plasma pistol in her right hand. And with her left hand she grabbed one of her two plasma swords and activated it. She than sliced through a Silvoth behind the corner next to her. Seven looked to her right next and fired several plasma shots from her plasma pistol onto the Silvoths coming from her right. Each one was a head shot. However Seven could hear Silvoths were starting to get to them from behind.
Seven couldn't do anything about that she couldn't be everywhere at once. The platoon, civilians and Seven were now two thirds of the way up. Silvoths were now really building up in force Seven got hit twice of two plasma shots from Silvoths. Though the damage was minor, the shots hit her on her chest and one on her helmet but her Mark 4 Excalibur Armor could handle much more than those two plasma shots. But the civilians and mechanized troops couldn't the mechanized troops armor was far thinner than Seven's own armor. The civilians had no armor at all so half of them were already dead by this point. And a thrid of the mechanized troops were dead. The civilians were also getting slower as they were starting to get really exhausted from the stairs climbing.
However they finally reached the top. Though now only a quarter of the civilians were alive and only a third of the soldiers were alive. "We made it to the top." Lieutenant Rossi, said as Seven slammed the door shut as the last of the troops got through the blast door. "Alright everyone get to the shuttles!" Lieutenant Rossi, shouted his order. He than looked at Seven. "Riftan, over there are the Raptors take one. I'll open the roof top hanger door, and stay behind." Lieutenant Rossi said willing to sacrifice himself to let everyone to escape. Seven shook her head.
"No, Riftan you're more important than I am, so just go. The Concord will get through that blast door any second now." Lieutenant Rossi said as he ran over to the control console. Seven nodded accepting his sacrifice. She ran over to a Raptor and got in. She turned it's rotors on and it's auto-firing, so that the side autocannons of the Raptor will also fire on Concord fighters or Silvoths flying through the air. The roof hanger door opened and the shuttles took off and so did Seven after the shuttles got out of the hanger.
She glanced over to Lieutenant Rossi who was facing the blast door. It completely melted now as Silvoths got through. He killed three of them before the Silvoths killed him with their plasma shots melting him into a metal and flesh soup as his mechanized armor melted into one with his burning flesh. Lieutenant Rossi was now dead. Seven looked to her front as she flew out of the hanger and away from the military base. Seven needed to find the others of ner team. And luckily for her she picked up their signal as she was flying through the city center of New Amsterdam. She flew into the signals direction. The Raptor automatically shot down any Concord fighter or Silvoth that got in a 500 meter distance from Seven's Raptor. Seven landed the Raptor Ina somewhat destroyed building it gave cover to the raptor and kept it hidden. She jumped out of the cockpit, and walked over to a door. Where she saw someone standing.
