The head of Rapi was shot off by a rapture and quickly acting, Anis grabbed the head before moving behind cover as the raptures started to shoot at them.
Kenjaku could be seen holding the commander behind cover.
Looking at each other, they noted the situation they had gotten in.
"Sooo, what now!" Anis shouted.
"Well obviously we will fight back!" shouted Neon
"No we won't! There are too many to deal with by ourselves!" Kenjaku responded before grabbing the attention of the commander. "Hey! Commander, don't be distracted, can you get Shifty to look for a path out of here!"
A box appeared in front of them, it was shifty.
"Don't worry about that, I am already looking, just hold them back while I do!" Shifty said. We nodded.
Neon was the first to act. During the opening of the raptures not shooting, she quickly shot at the closest rapture destroying them due to being so close. Anis quickly followed and shot at the ones that were grouped up.
Kenjaku, grabbing his bow, filled his arrow with curse energy to the point where it would explode upon contact. Shooting it into a rapture, it destroyed it before exploding and causing some damage to the ones around it.
They continue to keep this up but Anis and Neon were starting to get low on ammo while Kenjaku was starting to get low on curse energy. It was at this point that Shifty shouted.
"I got it!" shifty said.
Kenjaku was the first to react and got the attention of the others.
"Guys! Let's go!" he said.
They looked at him and waited until the raptures stopped shooting and ran for it.
The commander seemed to be in a daze but still ran with them.

(Kenny)
We were running into an area underground, it was a train track that wasn't in use. Looking around I could see a cart. Grabbing it, I let the others jump into it before I started to push it. While it was somewhat difficult to do so, I was able to deal with it before jumping into it with the others.
We were moving quickly, the commander was in a daze from the situation, probably.
Anis handed over the head of Rapi to the commander, it was heavy from the looks of it as it threw him off balance.
The commander looked at the head and got into a trance.
Suddenly the commander was slapped by Anis.
"Commander, come out of it. It isn't time to just be in such a trance." She looked at him with worry. The commander was just looking down but was listening to her. "You don't have to worry about it, she can come back. As long as we have her brain we can bring her back."
The commander nodded before slapping himself and looking back up with determination.
As this was happening, I could hear the sound of something breaking above us.
"Guys, something is coming!" I shouted. They looked at me before hearing the sound of the ground breaking.
Suddenly the roof above us was broken and rocks and dust were thrown around. I had to cover my face from the dust. After it settled, the sound of a machine could be heard. In front of me was a giant machine with drills in front/bottom of it with a ring around it.
As soon as I saw it, I gathered curse energy in my hand before leaning off the edge and pushing on the ground. We were going faster but the thing was still able to keep up with us slightly.
The others got their barings and noticed the rapture in front of us. They started blasting at the thing.
"Of course this thing had to be here!" Anis shouted
"What is it?!" asked Neon.
"It's a tyrant class rapture, code name Gravedigger!" Said Anis.
"OH!" from Neon.
It was fast, faster than any of the raptures we had met. It would eventually catch up to us if we don't defeat it in time.
Using my bow, I noticed that it was about to launch something at us. I had to shoot at it to stop it from happening.
I was running out of curse energy, I only had a somewhat large amount of energy but I had used a lot of it today. I only had about 1/5th left. I had to make the most of it.
Leaning off the cart again, I steadily gather energy before pushing us again. I then got out an arrow before doing the same thing as earlier and shot at the walls to at least give us some breathing space.
"Thanks!" shouted Anis.
Ignoring her, I pull out another arrow before pulling it as far as I can. I start to push in as much energy as I can into it.
The Gravedigger had gotten through the rubble and was starting to catch up to us again, it seemed to have gotten damaged by some of it falling on it.
I had put in as much as I could into the arrow and shot it into its core.
It stuck to the core. The rapture started to freak out before crashing into the walls and ground and stopped moving.
It was defeated.
The thing was that despite defeating it, the slamming around had caused the tunnel to start caving in.
Looking forward I could see that we would get out in time but it wouldn't be a good landing.
"Brace yourself!" I shouted.
Bracing myself, we had gotten out of the tunnel and the cart got launched into the air because there were no more tracks.
Crashing into the ground, I rolled, softening my landing, before looking around and noticing the commander laying face down first in an area of Anis.
"Umm commander can you get up please…." Anis said timidly.
The commander, noticing the situation, quickly got up and bowed.
"Sorry!" he said. Anis just laughed it off.
Shifty then appeared.
"Guys just head back to base." she said. We just nodded.
-------
We had gotten to the base and as soon as we got here we were called into the office of Sir Anderson.
Entering the room, i could see him sitting down looking at us with not the most pleasant look.
"I told you guys to capture the place but not to destroy it." he said. "That factory that you had destroyed could have supplied the Ark for years, and you just went ahead and destroyed it." he continued.
"I-" the commander tried to talk but was stopped.
"Don't give me an excuse, it was a simple capturing mission. I think that some punishment is needed." He said. "In the cause of destroying the place we needed, I shall have you people sent to the outcamp."
Anis looked shocked while Neon didn't seem happy.
He quickly sent us out to get ready for leaving tomorrow.
Sighing, I quickly leave with Anis to my room. I am just hoping nothing else bad happens.
