The door slowly opened and sat there was Cephas. There were ten people already in the room, they seemed to already be in groups. Everyone but Cephas and his Cephas's honour guard was wearing their combat uniforms. Everyone turned to look at them, Cephas did not move he only give them the signal to leave.
The Guards including Julia left the door and shut the doors on their way out. The 5'3 guy with light brown hair spoke first. "Why did you reassign us?" Cephas shot it down, "I'll get to it Secero." Cephas then started, "Yesterday, General Kumar went to Lennox Field to give a rundown on your combat uniform."They were all confused about why this was important. "As soon as he finished. A Red Sail Agent hijacked his ship and took off with it. Kumar has been kidnapped. We are looking at a Principle Level Hostage Situation and we are leading a team to rescue him." Secero spoke, "But why us? You could have gone to war with Red Sails."Cephas spoke, "They have over 20 sub-branches which have up to 1,000 students and then their five special forces branches which have 4,000 students each and their headquarters with 8,000 students. With a calculation, there are over 48,000 students compared to our 4,000 spread across 5 branches. Would be a suicide run."They were in shock by the number of students they had. Stas then asked, "Why us? When there are stronger men in the first army." Cephas spoke to answer his question, "There are barely any people in the first army with a low rank. It would draw no attention if you went to where they are holding him.""There are spies at their special forces branch. They had infiltrated Red Sails to keep an eye on them. They are keeping General Kumar at Special Forces Branch: D. We need you to go in there to save Kumar. This will be the official Debut of Fragments. The team will be led by June Tal." General Cephas looked to June who was in a chair, asleep.Cephas yelled at her to wake up and she jumped up. She was a bit scared. Number 4 then looked at Cephas and asked, "Who are these guys?" Cephas spoke, "These are members from East Fortside and Townsend. These will be members of Fragments. Now go! I have arranged transport in Ship bay G."Everyone started to walk out of the room and one of the East Fortside personnel spoke, "This should be a simple job. I hope you guys don't hold me back." The rest of Fragment looked at her and they burst out laughing. She sounded bratty and annoying. It annoyed her to not be taken seriously.She spoke with pride, "I am Anja Tomic." Stas turned his head. Everyone was considering the possibility of her being strong. Seth sighed, "Nobody asked." He started to walk to the elevator and pressed it, she was turning red. She hated being disrespected or mocked, it made her blood boil."One day I will kill you." She muttered to herself.The rest of the East Fortside personnel started to walk past Anja. She started to walk to the elevator and she breathed out, the group of 12 walked in the pressed the button labelled one. The elevator started to descend and Number 4 looked at Anja. She started for a good five seconds before the Tomica noticed."What?" It creeped her out. She couldn't read number 4's facial expressions. Number 4 responded, "If you are a Tomica then you must be from the Island of Vollatomic?" She was confused about why the masked girl said this, "Yeah. Why do you ask?" Number 4 spoke, "Then that must mean you are strong."She nodded as June Tal started to talk to the group as the elevator was reaching the bottom floor. The doors opened and they hopped out. "I don't know any of your names." She pointed at Seth and asked for his full name, he told her his name was, "Seth Julius Siegel." She pointed at number 4, "Your name." Number 4 spoke out, "My name is confidential to personnel, I go by Number 4." Jun
"What will we do if they figure out that we are not Red Sail Special forces?" Number 5 interjected into their conversation, "Let's just hope they don't." June Tal stood up from her pilot seat and looked at her group. The ship was cruising smoothly through the sky. June Tal address Fragment. "Alright, the game plan is that we spilt up into two groups. Stas, Secero, Number 4, Marcus, Hasso and Lie are in one group. In the other group Seth, Leandre, Number 5, Anja, Nejla and Latona are in another group. We should be reaching their special forces base."They nodded and then she continued, "I will guide you from the ship. I will give you earpieces and I will talk directly to you." She sat down back in her seat as the sunny day turned dull, gloomy clouds. The rain started to fall and lightning started to strike the ground below. She started to descend towards the ground. The ship entered the school grounds and landed in bay 7. The engine started to power down as Lie opened the door and st
The two people of interest started to talk to each other, "We have to oversee his transfer." The other guy spoke, "Apparently General Ana is in transit here?" They were surprised and started to speak, "General of the Third Army, Ana?" The first guy spoke, "Kumar must be a powerful guy for the General of the Army has to be transporting him." They walked off.Stas used his earpiece, "June." June responded, "Did you find anything to lead us to Kumar?" Stas spoke, "No, all I got was confirmation of Kumar is here, but the General Of the Third Army is on her way. I think they said her name was Ana." June Tal sighed, "Nothing of interest but a General of an Army... stay clear of her. June out."Everyone came up empty-handed. They had found nothing. June Tal was at a loss. Then Stas spoke, "What about those spies?" June smiled before she made contact with them. "XK-T1" June spoke a girl on the other end answered, "Hello?" "This is Warrant Officer June Tal from West Field. We need to know wher
The music was a type of ambience. He found it nice, Seth started to hum as the elevator stopped on the second floor and two men walked. They were wearing boots, baggy trousers a camouflage shirt and headphones. They were communications officers. One boy, one girl. The elevator started to rise.They started talking to each other as Seth continued to hum. The girl spun around and yelled, "Do you mind!?" Seth was put off by her demanding demeanour but he stopped not wanting to draw his attention. The elevator slowed and it stopped completely, he walked past the communications officers.They looked closely at his arm when he walked out of the elevator to see a blue insignia. The elevator went up and the guy spoke, "I don't think that is a personnel of this faction. Call RSIO, and tell them we have an imminent threat." The girl started to link the Red Sail Intelligence Office and spoke, "Was there any personnel from any other school supposed to be here today?"A girl responded, "No schools
Stas twitched on the ground as Seth grabbed his numb, cold hands and pulled him around a corner Stas was tired, he wanted to sleep. He shut his eyes. It hurt but he started to feel warm. Seth patted his face, hard. He opened his eyes to see Seth trying to keep him awake. "Commander Stas, you have a mother waiting for you at home. You have a girlfriend. If you died now, how will they feel?"Stas looked at Seth, "I'm tired." Seth locked eyes with Stas, "You are not tired, to sleep, means to die." Stas tried to stay awake as a golden glow emitted from his body. Then a blinding golden light. Seth looked away as Stas's skin started to return. His muscles replaced themselves. The light dimmed and the glow faded. Stas had been repaired.Number 5 started to send laser beams that hit one guy whose left side was exposed. Secero pointed at one guy and started to pull him out of cover, Anja came and punched him in his gut. The guy coughed and fell unconscious. Stas sprinted in front of Anja and s
The General hit a wall and there was a thud. She looked on waiting for the General to make a move, her eye glowed as she appeared behind her but using her light speed elbowed her face, breaking the mask. Her face was exposed, she was a blonde girl with fair skin.She stumbled back as the rest of Fragment was still pinned. She felt a pressure over her that was trying to force her to the ground but the energy she had did not allow it. She looked at the General and spoke, "What rank are you?" Number 5 asked. Her blue mask with the number 5 glowing, a golden light."I am a General of the Army for Red Sail Headquarters. I command all of the people in the army across Red Sail" Number 5 charged up a beam and Lie was able to look at the General as Chains pulled her to the ground. The beam grew into a massive ball of light. The General's eye glowed to relieve her turquoise which had the Omega symbol. The Ball of Light was swung at her as the ball came, and the General's eye started to shine as
Fragment ran out to see the ship crash. It crashed but no explosion, luckily. They forced open the ship door to see Kumar, seemingly lifeless, they walked in and checked his pulse. "June! Kumar is alive!" Lie said with excitement. "Prep, exfil." Stas picked up Kumar and carried him out. Stas ran out last with Kumar and the general opened his eyes. "There was an explosion on the ship? Are you West Seaside?" Stas nodded as Kumar coughed up blood."Rest Sir," Stas said in a whisper as he continued running. They ran fast as they got shot at by Special forces personnel. Subsonic lasers fired past them missing. A communication officer spoke over the public announcement system and his words were, "Ready the flight crew of the engineering team."June faced her ship to fire at the main door. She fired as a loud explosion rang through everyone's ears, the communication officer spoke over the public announcement system, this time the same girl that spotted Seth in the elevator. "The main entranc
Stas turned to Anja and lunged at her, she had not expected this but then Stas spoke, "Why should I throw you out of here?" She spoke, "Because Vollatomic will be on your ass in no time." He squeaked even harder before throwing her to the side. "If you use me as a meat shield again." He said seriously, "I will get everyone I know to raid your little island."He sat down and sighed, Seth looked and said, "Commander, when will we get a ship like this one?" Stas responded, "When I gather the money." They sat down as the ship started to descend from the sky to get closer to the ground. The island of Acnefera was in view and they jetted off towards Headquarters. "This is June Tal, Kumar is badly injured get the best medics on standby to heal him. The 1G is secure. Prep the healers." After a minute they were above the landing pad and Stas walked up to Kumar and carried him. Healers waited for the ship to land and when they touched down, someone opened the door, it was Cephas. Seven healer
