A couple days would pass as the nine of them stayed put. They watched the Sacramentum plot slowly unfold. They want the planet for themselves and for it to be completely destroyed. According to the reports. Many of the bunkers hidden in the US are safely filled. Airsoft is running around and protecting whoever he finds.
As for the other countries, it seemed like they were handling as well as the US did. Complete domination. Several countries were forming together to try and hold out and push back. However from the outside it was futile.
Nevada and Minn would go on a scouting mission while Washington, Carolina and Hawaii played support from communications and the basement they were hiding in. Minnesota and Nevada would take the rooftops at night using cable guns to cross safely. The ever watching gaze of the two not leaving their sight.
"We have those same eyes from earlier watching us." Minn spoke as she crossed the cable to the building where Nevada was on top of from day one. They would look down to see a tower of flesh with holes around it carved into the ground. It seemed like they were digging for something.
"Minn, look at the full picture here." Nevada would point past the tower and show the full runway of supplies from the Sacramentum. They were producing vehicles to compete to earth standards, no, preparing for a counter attack, but from who?
"Do you really think the human species will make it out of this?" Minn asked as the two took pictures of everything to send to their little command center. Indy waved for Hawaii and Carolina to go in case things got dangerous for their teammates. They moved with haste.
"I think this Astral person will play a big role in it if he does show up to save us." Nevada would look around the landscape, seeing one warehouse in the distance untouched and unfazed. While the buildings around it were rubble. What was keeping it safe. "Minn, do you see that as well?" He pointed to the warehouse that was letting loose with its firing, keeping everything around it safe.
"Whatever is in there is well protected by that person." Minn would comment. "Is that a robotic mech creating that havoc?" She would zoom in on the warehouse closer and see Zeta slaying many Sacramentum.
Coming at him in droves, he would be using a mixture of his mech sword, railgun and missiles to keep everyone inside safe. As much as was being sent at him. "That has to be the work of Astral." Nevada would nod in agreement as the two would back up from the edge.
Any of the unfortunate alien invaders to be caught under the crushing weight of Zeta. They would be more fortunate to be cleaved into pieces or exploded into bits. They kept throwing themselves at him to slow him down. Why? He saw no point for them to attack him and why did he still get rushed by all of them.
Sliding down the building the two would be deathly quiet as they crept away from the scene. The gunfire in the distance echoing in the air. They would be walking down the street as an eerie feel washed over the two. "Do you feel like, we are being watched?" Minn would ask. The beaty eyes that were following the two of them would shut.
"Yeah, I feel it, wait." He flipped up the heat sensor and there were targets all around them. "Oh." He would pull out his pistol, firing into the dark as the Sacramentum Lizards came crawling from all directions.
Minnesota would throw her knife into the skull of one of the lizards that were behind Nevada. She would then flip out her shotgun. Clearing all of them that were in front of her before railing three shells quickly back into the shotgun. Tossing it to Nevada "Switch." He would grab the shotgun and aim for the critical spots in each of the Monkey's charging at them. Taking off their heads with each of his three shots. Minn would use his SMG to clear all the close enemies by brute force. The two of them would be stuck reloading while still being rushed by the Sacramentum mob.
A click would be heard as bullets whizzed around the two, buying them enough time to reload to the brim. Two figures would be standing across from them elevated in an exposed office. The sniper rounds carving their way through the sacramentum lizards.
Minn and Nevada flipped their heads back for a moment, they didn't have sniper help. These people are the ones who followed them. Their overseer's and guardian angels.
Dropping down from the building they would charge in using swords to cut through the ranks in front of them. While having a shotgun and large machine gun for each of them. They cleared a path to the center. "Move now and talk later or die, quick!" the one would speak while the other was focused on defending them. Minn and Nevada both pushed for a path to their friends forward.
"Hawaii, Operation Hotbox." Nevada would speak while running forward, Minn and the other two defending their flank. Out of a random building Carolina would pop out and join them.
"You can't have fun without me!" She bounced into action using her crossbreed shotgun rifle to keep a bit of distance away from the Sacramentum. Minn took the lead while blasting her way forward. It seemed like these things were never ending. Minn would see Hawaii and signal to her.
Throwing on a lightshow, firing fireworks off and letting loose with coordinated flashes from the drone support from Washington and Oregon inside, Mississippi and Utah were still not stable enough to partake in the helping of it all. Indy stood at the doorway to defend the injured.
Hawaii was now in the middle of them all as well, The four of them showing a level of teamwork they haven't even practiced, it just came naturally to them. The two in hoods were happy as they watched the four of them blossom.
The onslaught would not stop until daybreak when the harsh sunlight from the sunrise caused glinting off of some of their gear. Particularly the swords of the two people who saved Nevada and Minnesota. Once they had a moment the two twins looked at each other.
