Andia: The Revolution

[JVElEven]

Hremai ducked down behind her gun and started firing in the general direction of where Peter had pointed, crawling slowly forward to improve accuracy.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

I picture Valentin Fairfax as looking a lot like Vito Scaletta. Just give him some dark gray eyes, and that's Val!

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Much shorter, messier hair.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

All I see is a little blue question mark.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Nevermind.

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Fixed.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Didn't you say Aarys had long hair?

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Shoulder-length.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

I'd say that's about shoulder-length.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Again, nevermind.

[Duh]

With Valentin, Peter, Aarys, Hremai, and Gladro's fire, the ICA lines that had blocked the tunnel were shattered. Shard bodies were everywhere, their barriers ripped apart.

The tunnel led to the rear of the ICA fortifications at the main entrance, where the majority of rebel forces were trying to break throough. The Shards had no idea that the five were behind them.

Spoiler:

Like I said, this raid is going to end quickly. The quest to defeat the Three is getting closer.

[Eltee]

Aarys dived to the ground, and got a bead on one of the shards. "Pick a target." She whispered.

[Leyyuce]

Peter quickly retrieved his rifle from its temporary position at his back, lining up a clean shot on an enemy machine-gunner.

"Ready," he responded quietly.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin had run out of ammo for his light machine gun. "I'm out!" in informed the others quietly, pulling his MP 40 from its place over his shoulder. "Let's go."

[Eltee]

Aarys nodded, held her breath, and pulled the trigger. The thirty calibre round entered at the base of the shard's skull. She quickly aquired another target and started shooting.

[King Acunasti]

Using the darkness to hide himself, Valentin neared the Shard forces and sprayed a series of rounds in their direction, not aiming at any particular target.

[Duh]

The Shard soldiers were utterly shocked by the rear attack. In mere moments, their ranks collapsed. The rebel lines advanced, crushing the remaining ICA soldiers.

After a few moments, the gunfire ceased. A moment of silence occurred. Afterwards, nearly every rebel let out a loud victory cry to signify the defeat of the Immortal Commission Army at the stronghold.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Ashriel, who had been slowly picking off Shards with his pistol, stopped and took a deep breath when the shooting stopped.

[Kerr]

Gladro lowered his gun and give out a sigh of relief as he turned his head to Ashriel. "Thanks for not legging it back there."

[Eltee]

Aarys joined the others in a raw-throated victory yell. Face flushed, she grinned widely and kissed Valentin.

[King Acunasti]

Valentin dropped his submachine gun to the ground and wrapped his arm around Aarys, welcoming her kiss.

[Eltee]

Aarys wrapped her arms around Valentin. "Finally, we were able to get back at the b*stards."She murmured in a breath between kisses.

[King Acunasti]

"And we got em' good." Valentin responded after slowly breaking the kiss. "You fight like a lioness. There's no doubt about it."

[JVElEven]

Hremai got upon her feet for the first time since the battle had begun, wobbling uncertainly as her legs had fallen half asleep.

"And I'm still alive?!" she mumbled disbelievingly. "Fate has a cruel sense of humour..."

[Eltee]

"Whatever you say, Val." Aarys murmured, pressing her face against Valentin's shoulder.
