Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

"You too." Aarys replied. She settled back into silence. However, her anxious tapping had stopped.

[JVElEven]

"That's exactly why running around in the front doesn't seem like a good idea!" Hremai exclaimed.

[Leyyuce]

"Hremai," Peter stated calmly, "You'll be okay. The last year's training was not without purpose, nor benefit." He drew a cigarette from the pack held within his shirt's pocket as he spoke, carefully lighting it and placing it into the corner of his mouth.

[JVElEven]

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. And if you have to smoke, at least blow out the smoke away from me. I can't stand the smell of those things."

[Leyyuce]

"Of course- sorry about that." Peter turned away from Hremai, holding his rifle at the ready and glancing toward the nearby jeeps.

[JVElEven]

"No need to be sorry. Just pointing it out," Hremai said.

[Leyyuce]

"No, you're right," Peter replied plainly, remaining rather passive. After a moment of relative silence, however, he turned again toward Hremai, now holding the cigarette offhandedly as to avoid offending the girl.

"Are you sure that you wouldn't like to try one? It might calm you down a bit."

[Duh]

Spoiler:

Alright, we'll just say that everyone is in a jeep. This raid is going to be quick. Because very soon, your character will be set off on their own to destroy the Three and fulfill the One's prophecy.

The large Rebel convoy arrived at the ICA stronghold shortly after the speech. The main entrance was under heavy fire by rebel forces. But the ICA remained well-protected behind their barriers.

"Move up the left flank!" An officer ordered the eight.

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

Are we even still eight? Anyways...

Hremai looked bewilderedly around, not wanting to go ahead first.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Spoiler:

I think we're more like five now.

Ashriel was moving up the side of the battlefield, hoping to get behind enemy lines.

[Eltee]

"Val!" Wars shouted above the gunfire. "Lay down some covering fire for me so I can move up!" She fired a few deadly accurate shots from her rifle at the defending Shards.

[Leyyuce]

Peter recognized the others' slight hesitation as to their ordered charge; anticipating Valentin's enemy-obliterating covering fire, however, he immediately rose from his prone position and sprinted along the left side of the field as commanded. He fired several loosely-aimed rounds as he went, leaning forward as to properly absorb the rifle's kick while remaining on-balance.

[Eltee]

"Ah, sh*t... Peter!" Aarys called. Her rifle pinged loudly, and she slammed in a new stripper clip. "You can't move up alone, you'll be killed... Oh, drat it all. Valentin! Covering fiiire!!!" She yelled, sprinting headlong after Peter. She fired the M1 wildly at the Shards.

[King Acunasti]

"Check this out, you rotten sons of b*tches!" Valentin roared as he unleashed fire upon the Shard defenses with his light machine gun.

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Cheeze. I am almost expecting 'get to the choppa...'

The returning Shard fire immediately decreased as Valentin's spray of gunfire forced them to take cover. Aarys dived down beside Peter. "C'mon, let's go! We need to get up alongside them so they are caught in a crossfire!" She said breathlessly. She reloaded the rifle, took a deep breath, and once again sprinted forward, bounding between trees and other cover like a rabbit.

[JVElEven]

Hremai, seeing that the others had taken point, ran after Aarys and Peter, taking potshots at enemy troops as she ran, stumbling under the recoil of the weapon.

[Duh]

The Shards fell back from the main entrance as the rebels pushed in with explosives. Many rebels charged in after them. Admiral Kanden rode a horse at the frontliones. "CHARGE!!!!!!" he bellowed.

[Eltee]

Aarys broke cover, and, screaming incoherently, charged the Shard positions. She held her rifle at the ready to either take any shots that presented themselves, or to skewer any Shards that got to close with her bayonet.

[Duh]

The ICA had set up a second line of fortification near the exact same waterfall that Aarys and Valentin had waked under no more than 24 hours before. Many rebels at the frontlines had charged into their deaths. The caves were cold and dark. It was more difficult to see, and the noise levels were intensifying with the echoes of the many voices.

[Kerr]

Spoiler:

Can anyone give a brief summary of what is going on?

[JVElEven]

Hremai threw herself to the ground forty meters from the second line, readying her gun, having better aim now that she wasn't standing with her (comparatively) large weapon.

She began firing madly at the lines.

[Kerr]

Gladro ran towards to the second line of fortification, MP40 in hand making sure to take cover when he reached his destination.

Spoiler:

Sorry, it has been hard to keep up with all the school work i've been getting as of late.

[Eltee]

Aarys stayed with the bulk of the Rebel forces, firing her rifle wildly.

[Duh]

This is where many of the rebels fell. The Shards fought furiously, and the rebels were confused and overwhelmed.

[JVElEven]

Hremai looked around to find herself alone in between the two contingents.

"Damnit! I can't handle this alone! Get down low, you idiots!" she shouted back at the rebels, keeping up her bullet rain upon the shards ahead of her.
