At Sargon, there was a report from Rhodes Island that something fishy was happening in the country of deserts and forests where operators like Gavial and Ranger come from.
"Ash-sama, is it really necessary for you to come for this operation? I alone would have been enough." A feline woman who has cold eyes stated.
"Hey, is that supposed to mean something?" An elite operator from Rhodes island squinted her eyes towards her fellow feline.
"Elite operator Blaze, this is an operation that I can simply do alone, Asmodeus-sama's personal operators like us are simply trained differently." The feline woman snorted.
"Gununu, that might be true! But you're not heard of in his elite operators." Blaze pointed her finger at her and she half smirked.
"Because where I'm sent, no one comes out alive." The feline turned around and kept on trying to tell Ash to go back to their mobile cities.
Blaze shut up as three other operators beside him gave her a look. Especially the nun who grinned at her like a lunatic.
"If you have further complaints, Rhodes Island operator... Then you are free to leave, do you understand?" A pale woman with crimson red eyes and hauling a huge lance looked at her with squinted eyes.
"Give it up Blaze, that woman would kill us if you annoy them further... I'm sure of it." A white lizard man that had a bow on him squinted his eyes.
Blaze grumbled but she just shut up. "Gladiia, you think it is wise to antagonize them? They're Ash-sama's allies." Another woman with blood red eyes was concerned. The only difference was she has a large black sword on her.
"You need not concern yourself about it, the abyssal hunter squad can wipe them out with our current arsenal. If Ash-sama arms us like the apostolic knights of Laterano and gives us a 30mm for our offhand weapon, we'll annihilate them in an hour at best." Their leader snorted.
Blaze started sweating and if the lizard man could, he would too. They know the strength of the abyssal hunters after all. Calling them supersoldiers is an insult to their martial prowess that can take down gods. A single one of them is already a calamity.
Ash patted her head and the woman named Gladiia closed her eyes pleasantly while Ash used his arts to moisturize her skin with some icy water.
"Calm down Gladiia, you're not you when you're dehydrated. Change the settings of your AOS, the desert will dry out your skin faster." He gave Blaze a side eye and she flinched.
"And Schwarz, ignore her when she wants to have a fight. She's an elite operator of Rhodes, she should already know what being in my personal squad entails. She's just hotheaded, don't go down to her level." He looked forward and squinted his eyes.
"Shouldn't have talked in the first place." Rangers sighed and patted his companion on the back.
"Rangers, you've got a map here in Sargon right? You're a local after all." Ash looked at the white lizard man.
"Yes sir, I believe the call for help came from a safehouse that a logistics member of Rhodes island is." Rangers explained the radio SOS they received.
"Why are we even investigating Ash-sama? I believe that Rhodes island can handle this easily?" Gladiia raised a brow and he sighed.
"Their description is very mysterious. Sankta that does not have wings and halos. And that only means one thing, those people are humans with firearms." He furrowed his brows and started walking faster.
"Humans? Are there other Sankta that do not have their signature traits?" Schwarz raised a brow and he just gave them a meaningful smile.
He didn't mention they were humans that are homo sapiens. Not ancients, elders, or special races like him and the Feranmuts.
"You'll see." He started running and the others followed his lead.
They arrived at a settlement nearby first and it was deserted. No signs of disaster or calamities. But there are of battles in the area.
"Hostiles attacked this place, come on let's go to the RI safehouse that's in this place." Ash ordered and everyone rushed to the location of the safehouse.
And when the group got close, the superhumans heard gunfire and screams. "Permission to go ahead, Ash-sama?" Gladiia asked him and he gave a nod.
"Spectre, kill anything that does not have a gun. There are only four, those individuals are our targets. Skadi, on me." Gladiia crouched with her companion and they crouched.
"Close your eyes and mouth if you don't want sand on it." Ash chuckled at Blaze and Rangers.
But before they did so, an eardrum shattering shockwave exploded upon Gladiia and Skadi's takeoff.
"Ahhh! My eyes! And my ears!" Blaze dropped on the ground and rolled around in pain.
"Told you." Ash laughed and Rangers frowned. His ears bleeding. Schwarz tossed them some healing stims and they followed the abyssal hunters.
"Kill! I'll kill them all Ash-sama~" Spectre, the nun followed them soon after and her weapon which is a giant pizza cutter started to whir.
"Go get em, I'll give you headpats when you return." He smiled at her softly and she got extra motivated to murder people.
At the safehouse, four individuals are firing their guns. But they're quickly losing ammunition. "Fuck, what are these motherfuckers made of? Why are they regenerating, blyat." A guy wearing heavy armor cursed.
"Scheiße! My shield won't hold much longer! These zombie fucks are tenacious!" A man in riot gear yelled and was holding the enemies back while shooting his handgun sparingly.
"Ash, this isn't gonna end well. We're trapped here and if we can't get through them, we'll die with the civvies." A woman in a bonnet, wearing a facemask stabbed a mutated zombie enemy with her combat knife and fired her pistol.
"Fuck, we need more fire power. Stay clear of the blast!" A ginger wearing shades, loaded high explosive ammunition and fired it at the enemies.
An explosion rocked the front of the safehouse, but it was a pretty modest explosion all things considered. And they were starting to converge once again.
"Ash, another one of those?" The guy in heavy armor asked with uncertainty. "That's the last one, Tachanka. Trust me, I'd sell one of my kidneys for an explosive right now."
The four man squad frowned at the incoming enemies, but before they engaged again. They suddenly saw a tall and pasty woman appear before them. Accompanied by a smaller one and two sonic booms.
"Cyka blyat! What the hell was that?" They dropped down from the shockwave and quickly stood up to see what was happening.
"Skadi, check the surroundings. Kill everything in sight that is hostile." The tall and pale woman ordered with a blank face.
"Who are you?" Ash asked and Gladiia looked at her with curiosity. "So you're the ones that our lord is looking for?" She surgically analyzed them one by one and they broke into a cold sweat.
"Yo, that lady is really dangerous... Ash. Back off slowly." The guy with the shield gestured to her in sign language.
"Sign language huh? Yes, I am dangerous. But no need to be wary, you are non threats after all. Why? You are too weak to be one. So just stay there and wait until my master gets here." Gladiia interpreted the man's sign language.
Gladiia looked at the humanoid monsters in the area that was regenerating. She brandished her lance and hacked them all in a split second.
She returned to her position from earlier and the four man squad were puzzled. But the enemies suddenly started to drop to the ground in pieces.
The pale Aegir then looked at them with a smile. "Don't move, or I'll bite." Gladiia threatened them and they stood perfectly still.
After waiting for a bit, the others arrived. Except Blaze and Rangers of course, they were still running.
"Yeah, they're humans alright." Asmodeus arrived and Gladiia kneeled to him, making the four nervous.
"Y-you know us? Our race?" Ash Raised a brow and he nodded. "Of course, and it's quite weird hearing English like that now. It's been years since I heard our grammar and sentence structure. It's so different from Victorian."
"You're a human! But why do you look like that?" The girl who's wearing a bonnet was surprised by his appearance.
Gladiia growled at her and he had to reign her in. "Sorry about her, she's really loyal." He smiled wryly.
"They disrespect your appearance Ash-sama." Gladiia glared at the woman and he sighed.
"So, what's your names?" He asked them and they lined up.
"I'm Ash, the temp leader of these guys." The ginger wearing a shades introduced herself.
"Tachanka, it's good to know there's another human here." He sighed in relief.
"Blitz, as Tachanka said. We'd really like some explanations about this place." The guy with the shield shook his head wistfully.
"Frost, it's nice to meet you." The last one bowed a little.
"I'm Asmodeus, come on. My subordinates will take care of everything here. I bet you guys haven't slept on a good bed for weeks at least." He gestured them to follow.
They were apprehensive a bit, that it was a trap. But with Gladiia there, they didn't need to invite them for a trap. She'd definitely kill them before they could say Rainbow six.
The four then heard an explosion towards a direction and saw a piece of a building fly.
"Ahh, that's just Skadi doing her job. Don't mind her too much." Asmodeus chuckled and they quickly nodded.
'These guys are insane... That small woman from earlier made that building fly!? What?' Blitz gestured to the others again because the two were looking forwards.
"Kyahahahaha! Die! For Ash-sama's sake!" They heard Spectre laugh like a maniac and then after a minute or so, everything went quiet.
"So, umm. Asmodeus, who are you?" Ash asked to know his status which is mysterious to them.
"Ahh me? I'm just a businessman." he laughed and they all collectively said bullshit in their mind.
Blaze and Rangers managed to catch up and they looked at the rainbow six squad. "They the targets?" Rangers wanted to confirm.
"Yeah, oh I forgot about your man inside. Use this and heal him up if he has injuries or anything." Asmodeus gave them another stim and checked out the safehouse of Rhodes island.
"A Catwoman carrying a huge ass chainsaw... I've seen everything alright." Ash looked at Blaze that was on the way to the safehouse.
"Cold weapons are actually the main weapons here, you should already have noticed that." Asmodeus chimed in and they nodded.
"We're actually almost out of ammo, we've been stuck here for about 6 months." Ash explained and they started to get more comfortable in communicating.
"Ahh, then lucky you. We've got ammo in our place." He smirked and checked them out, even the big burly guy would just be a standard operator.
They'd get absolutely killed quickly if they fight without their firearms. Tactical skill and modern martial arts taught to soldiers doesn't mean they can suddenly switch to swords and the like.
"What's up with that? Their guns here aren't built the same as ours. And it was explained to us that bullets are technically magic spells. And the gun is a magic wand." Blitz, who talked to the logistics guy of Rhodes was baffled.
"Yeah, they don't use real bullets in the sense that it has gunpowder and you just pull the trigger, it's weaker too." He shrugged, explaining them while they were walking leisurely.
They talked a bit about where they came from and the inside jokes from their world. Which pissed off Schwarz and Gladiia. Thinking that they were being chummy with him.
And the four of them noticed the obvious killing intent from the two. "Sorry, hey you two. Stop being all jealous. Apologize to them." He huffed and the two gritted their teeth.
"Sorry." They said with a glare and the rainbow team had wry smiles on their faces. "Are you really important?" Ash asked because they won't follow him if he wasn't.
"Ahem, let me explain this to you. Asmodeus Naumann, namely Ash-sama." Schwarz gritted her teeth when they shared names.
"Is the great emperor of Leithanien, Victoria, Kjerag, and by extension, the ruler of Kazimierz because Margaret Nearl is the knight primus of the Adeptus Sprawiedliwi." Schwarz explained.
"You're gonna make me blush Schwarz, but yeah. It do be like that, now that I think about it. I'm really baller, so much has happened." He reminisced about it and sighed.
"E-emperor?" The rainbow team didn't know what to do and just bowed a little to him.
"Hey, none of that now. Come on, we should go home and eat some barbecue while drinking some good old mountain dew." He did not regret putting out a soda company.
The locals won't have diabetes anyway, Terrans are just built different.
