Glory in War [EDITED VERSION - SHORTER CHAPTERS]

Chapter 24.2

The City of Above

49:37

And here they are, in the City of Above. The mission didn't start yet at the hour we are witnessing now, since all of them were still getting on their positions. As a Guardian, RY4N was obligated to remain behind to supervise the area, and with him was the Leader of the whole group, CHE5TER. There were a few others too that were only present to protect those from the inside of the building, but on a larger distance from both of them.

Technically speaking though, CHE5TER was an Investigator at that time too since he has decided to switch His role from Guardian, role that He chose to have when He entered the first time the Southeast Base, to the Investigator role some time before, but the Leader has to stay behind in order to lead the mission properly. A reason why He is not a part of the mission like He is in the present, especially in those times when they used to have many Investigators in the base. And so, to make sure that the mission is ready to start, He begins talking in His airpods to all the other members.

[CHE5TER]-Everyone ready?

[/CA7HAN]-Affirmative!

[/J4CE]-Ready!

[CHE5TER]-Alright. Strikers, get into the building and get the soldiers' attention in order for the Investigators to go to the higher levels and search for what we need. Everyone else, take your positions. At my signal!

[/D4NI3L]-We need connection to the cameras, Hackers! Tell us when you guys are ready!

[/KYR4]-It's being established! Have some patience, god dammit!

[/LUK3]-Ohohoh, bring it on!

[CHE5TER]-Oh, gods... RY4N, make sure to not fire a bullet by mistake, alright?

[RY4N]-I've trained with my rifle, CHE5TER. I know how to handle it.

[CHE5TER]-I'm just saying... We don't want to alarm them now and I know what you are capable of causing.

[RY4N]-Hey, who do you take me of!?

[CHE5TER]-Oh, forget it... Just be careful to not fire now.

[RY4N]-Yeah, yeah... I swear, this lack of trust...

Once He is done talking, the Great Leader stands in front, looking at the huge building from far away that took His father's life away. It is now when He reestablishes His legacy, in a mission of Life and Death, even not aware. Many of the soldiers that had worked before Him knew about the incident with the previous Great Leader here, but now it is time to take His death as rebirth... To finally find out about the General's plan and bring peace onto these lands.

[CHE5TER]-...Now!

And so, the mission has begun at His signal. The Strikers got into the building and started the chaos, while the Investigators got inside without any trace, searching for the unknown documents that the ruler assumes they are present on the higher levels of the base. It was like a small battle from an endless war, but where everyone only tries to survive and not cause too many deaths.

The Great Leader in the meantime was supervising everyone's position and case, while the Guardians were protecting the area. Inside the building, the Ynash'saveghtah Gas was already spreading at some parts of the area, making some of the involved people's immunity affected and it was then when Death started dancing on their graves.

Many soldiers of the M were killed or have been injured, but the C soldiers didn't seem to be in a better position either. Though they are more skilled than the whole M military in general, some of them already got injured and had to be rescued. And it was then when the true chaos started, as Investigators have started being caught and chased down to be killed. One of them sure had a problem like that, his name being CA7HAN, one of the former Investigators of the Southeast Base. Since the role of an Investigator is to work and fight alone if obligated by fate, while the Strikers are put to work in groups to avoid losing people because of the constant battles needed with the role, it explains why they need help in drastic situations since nobody is there for them during the whole chaos. A Striker by the name of S1V3RT was obligated to go and save the Investigator in danger as a consequence, which led later on to more terrors to come.
