**Skies nine hundred and ninety four kilometers from Alpha base**

"Enigma Leader, alright wings initiate rioting protocols. Lights up."

Octavia would depress a few buttons to cause her nav lights to flash as a warning to back off. The rest of her wing does the same. They noticed the troop movement has stopped but are not retreating back.

"Enigma Five, Leader I don't think they're getting the message, deploy canisters uniform pattern?"

"Enigma Leader, Yea it's about that time, all wings set for dispersal pattern uniform left to right." Octavia moved a hologram to display dispersal patterns and set it to uniform before clicking set on the screen, she could watch all the other wings synchronizing their patterns. Once all patterns were set and locked the computers did the work and launched tear gas canisters around the troop movement so as to not hit them directly. The tear gas was deployed as stated on the holographic screen and their visual sensors.

"Enigma Five, Hahaha gosh I remember when I had to do CBRN training as a part of this unit. On our day of reckoning the Overwatcher made~" the transmission was cut off by a large explosion pushing back the fighter crafts, once the sensors regained visual link Enigma Five's fighter was already a burning hulk on the ground and a sight presented itself in front of Octavia, filling her with rage.

"Enigma Leader, Attention all wings… eliminate all hostile threats with extreme prejudice."

"Roger!" All remaining wings said with anger seething through comms.

All fighters engaged rapid fire mode which takes a bit to charge but once fully operational can dish out a lot of punishment. The troops down below started to run away aside from a few pressing forward, all wings targeted the aggressors first hailing down laser barrages until nothing was left standing. A few more magic spells were launched where the fighters evaded as best as they could aside from Enigma four. Octavia seethed in such rage that she removed safety protocols for overheating weapons.

Octavia's craft vanished out of sight from the rest of the wing; they tracked her position a few kilometers away following the escaping troop movement.

**Kingdom of Haldrith retreating forces**

Xoltar led the retreating forces through the woodlines to obscure the line of sight of the angels, for a moment he thought his men were safe. They finally reached a crossing over a canyon between two jungles, a large natural arched bridge spanned several kilometers from the edges of the canyon. They had to use it to get back to their kingdom quickly. The soldiers start making their way across, there seemed to be hope of survival then one of the black angels materialized in front of their path, under its wings are smoke and fire, the angel itself was also tinted red. Xoltar knew this was the commander, and they came personally to exact their revenge for their fallen brothers and sisters.

Xoltar charges forth calling to his men to charge with him. If they do not bring down their commander there is no hope for survival. All mages and adventurers did all they could to damage or distract the angel. The angel spewed fire onto the forces that got between its wake, its movements were erratic and dangerous, sometimes ramming the ground to squash several soldiers boiling their blood on its armor. Several spells were cast against its armor, severing one of its wings. The burning angel goes to barrage his men until their weapons burst into flames underneath its wings. The angel charges forward in an attempt to smash the forces down below, the mages push all their magical energies to freeze and push the angel back from causing too much damage to the natural bridge.

The angel was put to a halt crashing into the ground, parts of the armor burning while other sections were frozen solid with magic. The head of the angel exploded, and out came a woman. Xoltar saw this as an opportunity and went to seize it, his men charged forth to capture the fallen angel. She managed to kill off several dozens of soldiers before mages used binding magic to prevent her erratic movement, another spell forced her to sleep and for the moment of time Xoltar and his men were safe. They cross the natural arch bridge into the deep forests on the other side to return to Haldrith.

**Skies nine hundred and ninety eight kilometers from Alpha base**

Enigma squadron went to search for Octavia, after she screamed in comms she vanished in thin air several kilometers away. They arrive over a natural arch walkway inside a canyon. There they saw the husk of her ship, after surveying the area they landed to look for signs of her death. She wasn't found in her cockpit, and after examining the battlefield in front of the craft one conclusion was made. She got out as a last ditch effort to kill them and got captured because of it. The squadron marks the location, pulls out to return to base.

Several hours after the fight Enigma Squadron returned to base, some landed on the hover pads without issue, others had to initiate crash landings. Once the remaining four pilots were deemed healthy they went to the High Admiral to report the situation at hand. He listened to every detail of the events that unfolded with careful consideration. Once they were done reporting he asked them to leave the room. Enigma Squadron left the High Admiral's quarters and closed the door behind.

"Seraph, what are the chances of being at war with this country?" The High Admiral would look out his window at the further construction of their colony.

"Probability: 87.89 percent chance of unknown country. From reports and battlescans of the situation I was able to diagnose the event as a 'Failure to communicate effectively' situation. They were scared of primitives of the area that did not know of riot control methods." The Hologram of the orb would fly around the room showcasing some of the battle footage.

"Then I guess we better get war protocols up and running, we may be in for a rough welcome." Ulysses would take out his lightweight laser pistol and point it towards the window, after a few seconds he puts it back in its holster.
