Abandoned City.

The Mobile Rail Car stopped, and the Devil Dogs got off of the Mobile Rail Car.

They're all wearing the Imperial Guard's Carapace Armor with some Class Insignia to identify their Specialized Role... Which are self-explanatory.

Kevin checked his Objective and it revealed...

Main Objectives:

- Locate C4 Charges.
   - Find the Stone Blockading the Railroad, and destroy it with C4.

- Refuel the Armored Train with Diesel.
   - Automatic Defensive Turrets need repairs.
   - Restock on Food and Water.

- Locate the Traitor and Eliminate him.

- Escape on the Armored Train, it's your only escape.
   - Not one Yandere must remain on board.

Side Objectives:

- Locate and Rescue the Egyptian Flametrooper.

- Locate a Couple of Train Cars to improve your survival chances.

- Fulton Extract LasCannons to increase your chance in the Final Operation.

PS. You can only rest if there's not a single Yandere on the bus. And you only have a day.

"A Flame Trooper!? VHY!!! JUST LEAVE HIM!!!' Walther screams, and the German's Pyrophobia kicks in. 

"Cyka, Walther... Calm down..."

Makarov shakes Walther and then slaps the German in the face to wake him up.

"Mein Gott!!! Really!?"

"You won't calm down... So I have to, Comrade."

"At least that guy will be useful for Area Denial... I mean..." Russel added...

"Or setting a burning trap..." Nikita added.

"Argh... Fine! Just keep that flamethrower away from me, and he better not be a Pyrophile!" Walther relented.

"I hope so." Kevin added...

After stopping at a ruined building. Makarov and Nikita returned to the train to repair the Automatic Turrets, with Walther as the Train's Guard. As the rest went on their Operation.

"Alright... Let's go find some C4s and Rations." Kevin speaks.

"We'll search for our new Flametrooper, I'll be going with Jayant and Morgan." Russel told Kevin.

"Alright. I'll have Jin, Kenji, and Fabien. We're Team Devil."

"Shadow." Morgan replied, and both of them split up.

Kevin leads Team Devil, consisting of himself, Kenji, Jin & Fabien. Russel leads Team Shadow with himself, Jayant, and Morgan.

Kevin searched for supplies, maybe another Train Car to provide more Storage.

... But...

They then saw Missiles coming for them and...

"GET INDOORS!!!" Kevin yelled.

Kevin's Team quickly rushed into the buildings... It's the Nikkes...

"Darling...~" Maxwell.

"Mon Dieu!!! We made first enemy contact!!!" Fabien yelled.

"We're weak when we're like this..." Jin muttered.

Kevin knew that. They're weaker when they split up into smaller teams... and it looks like the Yanderes used the disadvantage that they currently have to their advantage...

However, the Advantages were they could be a distraction, if they're attacking, which can be effective if they're on the defense. On the Offense, they can gain more ground and overwhelm the enemy.

"... I'll be watching, and getting the radio, next time." Kevin spoke, and they all nodded.

First, they needed to clear themselves a safe route.

"Open fire, Suppress them!" Kevin orders his team, and the rest open fire with a few shots with their Lasguns to keep them distracted and then take cover for a few seconds, as Kevin climbs or runs up the abandoned building to get a better Sniping View. 

"How the hell can one of them use a Minigun!? (Emma)" Fabien.

Jin then replied.

"No idea! Maybe placements!?"

"Just keep firing! Make them keep their heads down!!!" Kenji yelled, and Fabian along with Jin engaged in suppressing fire at the Yandere Nikkes.

"You boys play smart...~ But will your Commander save you?~"

"He will! He always will...!" Jin.

And Jin's voice was answered. With a LongLas sniping Emma.

"GRENADE!!!" Fabien yelled as he tossed a Choke Grenade. At the Yandere Nikkes.

It was pretty effective. The Nikkes started coughing from the Choke Grenade's smoke. 

"GO! GO! GO!!! Commander got us covered from Snipers!!!" Jin yelled.

Jin, Kenji, and Fabien charged at the Yandere Nikkes and wiped them out. All five, granting them their first Nikke Kills. Kevin already got to his 4th, after sniping Alice, Maxwell, and Exia. As Fabien finished off Emma, Jin with Crow, and Kenji with both Biscuit and Epinel...

"Holy shit!!! She almost fired that Bazooka!!!" Kenji, remarking Biscuit's weapon of choice.

"Looks like we're lucky, Camarades. Otherwise, we'll be human paste..." Fabien replied.

"Yeah... Too close for comfort..." Jin added. 

"Ahem... We gotta continue our mission. Let's go find the fuel depot, along with canned food and clean water..." Kevin, after going back to them.

They all nodded and continued their search for the depot, while also looking for non-perishable food and bottled water, being careful not to be detected.

Russel's Team...

Morgan took a peek at the entrance, of a Shinobi Academy... And saw a tied-up Egyptian Flametrooper on a wooden support beam... And then pull his head away from enemy sights.

"Confirmed. Looks like this place is heavily guarded with Shinobis and Kunoichis..."

"That's just great... Female Ninjas..." Russel muttered.

Russel then looked at Jayant's Sniping Position and used his mirror to signal him, then checked with his Binoculars...

Jayant returned with a thumbs up. He could see them. Russel then used his hand signals...

'Count Enemies.' Russel is implying, and check...

Jayant nodded and then used his LongLas' Sniper Scope to observe the location...

After a few minutes, nothing happened... Jayant used his mirror to signal Russel and Morgan. They noticed and looked...

"Entrence's booby-trapped." Morgan noticed...

"Thank god we didn't rush in..." Russel was thankful for his cautious attitude.

Morgan then continued to interpret Jayant's hand signals...

"Light Resistance in Entrance Zone. Suspected Trap at our Flametrooper's location. Heavy resistance at two of the Exit Points. Exfil to West if you prefer a clearer route. East, and South if enough Grenades."

"... Exfil by the West. Both Makarov and Nikita are busy repairing the train. Plus, those two have powerful grenades." Russel replied.

"Alright. I'll signal Jayant to get ready." Morgan.

Morgan signaled to Jayant to get ready. To which he replied with a thumbs up.

Three.

Two.

One...

With an immediate closed fist, Russel tossed a Blind Grenade, yelling.

"GRENADE!!!"

The Hanzo Academy's Girls turned to Russel before the blind grenade caused them to go blind for a moment. 

"AHHHHHHH!!!" Asuka screamed.

"MY EYES!!!" Ayame.

"Gah!? What is this!?" Fuma.

"FOR KING AND COUNTRY!!!" Morgan yelled and bayonet charged.

Morgan bayoneted Asuka while shooting down Ayama with his Hotshot Lasgun. As Russel dealt with Ikaruga and Fuma, with his Lasgun.

The Gate closed behind them, but they already had intel and a plan.

Both Morgan and Russel head to the yard, Russel goes to the Egyptian Flamethrower and fires at the Rope, with a LasGun.

He caught the Flamethrowerer from falling down and puts him down on the floor. The Guy was unconscious, as Morgan was covering fire Russel, by firing at the Shinobis, that's throwing Shurikens and Kunais at Morgan.

"Hurry and wake him up!!! We don't have much time!!!" Morgan yelled, as he took out Shiki and Seimei, due to her weapon.

Russel quickly took a conveniently placed deliberator. And charged it...

"CLEAR!"

With one deliberator charge, the Egyptian Flame Trooper awakens.

"ارغ...ما اللعنة...؟ كيف وصلت إلى هنا...؟" [Argh... What the fuck...? How did I get here...?] the Egyptian asked.

"No time, grab your stuff, and let's get outta here!" Russel told him and he understood.

"Alright... Keep me covered." The Egyptian replied.

He quickly went to his Carapace Armor to put on, while packing up his weapons.

As for Russel and Morgan, they're buying time to cover their Egyptian. As more and more Yandere Shinobis were coming after them. A few long-ranged Shinobis were dealt with, by Jayant.

"Come on.~ You don't have to keep fighting.~"

"That's right.~ We'll be gentle.~ Including your Commander.~"

"Just lay down your weapons and-"

"Just keep firing!!!" Russel yelled.

"Don't tell me twice, Yankee!" Morgan replied. 

Both Morgan and Russel remained resolute. After the Egyptian is finished, he pulls out his Flamer, and fires the burning Napalm at the wooden bridge, preventing them from getting through a river.

"That'll buy us some time. Where do we go next?" The Egyptian asked.

"We go west. They have the least resistance." Russel told him.

"Alright, I'll follow you guys. My name's Moustafa Fahim. Egypt's Finest Flame Trooper." Egyptian introduces himself while creating more area denial against the threats.

"Good to meet you." Russel as he took out another Shinobi. "Now, Let's go."

Fahim nodded and followed them. At Jayant took out any Machine Gunners, Rocketeer, or even Sniper Shinobis, with his LongLas.

"Keep going! Don't stop moving!!!" Russel yelled.

Morgan was able to destroy the locked door, by shooting at the hinges and kicking it open.

"Area clear! Move out, quickly!" Morgan yelled. 

Fahim, Russel, and Morgan managed to escape the Yandere Shinobis... Fahim used his Hades Pattern Mark III Assault Flamer to keep them from catching up, not directly burning them, but stalling them.

The Yandere Shinobi's growing Fear of Fire was taken advantage of by Fahim.

Because of that, Russel and his team escaped, unscathed and unharmed... And importantly, unchased.

In other words... A Second Major Victory for the Devil Dogs. Not only did they manage to get a new recruit, but were able to escape safely thanks to the Egyptian Flame Trooper.

The Armored Train...

"Alright... The Train's Artillery Guns are fixed. Along with the Automatic Turrets." Nikita told Makarov.

"Da... The Engine is refueled fully with Diesel too... I hope the others are safe..."

"Should we raise our flag to make them know where we are?" Walther asked.

"... Da."

Walther raised the Allied Forces' Flag.

"... Good enough." Nikita remarked.

Makarov activated the Automatic Turrets, as Nikita and Walther took positions. Walther with his LasLMG and Nikita with his LasGun. While Makarov begins packing up dry food, clean water, and gasoline for the portable stoves.

They've to make a stand... Until they come back and continue their way home...

It might be their last, and only way home.

Kevin's Team.

Kevin checked the objectives again...

   - Find the Stone Blockading the Railroad, and destroy it with C4.

   - Automatic Defensive Turrets need repairs. (Completed, Train's Guards)

"Well, looks like we've also seen another advantage of splitting up." Fabien remarked on their current fast progression. And it's literally in just an hour.

It seems splitting up has made objectives finished more quickly. Despite the risk of getting overwhelmed. As long they play smart, they can win.

"Anyways, Fulton is up! LasCannons are out." Jin told Kevin.

The Third Side Objective is done. Now to find the traitor and fall back to the Train.

They patrolled around the ruined city...

Until they spotted a group of girls, which they immediately hid... they heard sexual moaning...

"Jesus... That must be the traitor, going ham on them..." Kenji.

"Alright, I'll get on an elevated position, keep me covered," Kevin told them, and they nodded.

Kevin stealthily advanced to a run-down building and then took aim... On the 3rd floor.

"Holy shit... That guy is raw dogging those Shinobis like no tomorrow..."

After shaking his head clear, after a few seconds...

Kevin took aim with his LongLas, exhaled slowly, and...

Boom. Headshot. The traitor is dead. The Yandere Shinobis are on high alert, and Kevin sneakily escapes the Sniper Nest.

At least they didn't get any drop...

Now, they can just fall back to the Train or Help Russel's Team...

Since they didn't have any Radio... Better to retreat back to the train.

"Traitor's Dead. Evac to the Train. You know the flag." Kevin told his team, and they nodded.

And took a detour to evade detection.

Russel's Team...

They've managed to get some C4s, after clearing a few Nikkes and are rushing to the Stone Blockade...

"Alright... How long?" Russel asked.

"Five Minutes. And then run to the train." Fahim.

"Five minutes seems too long... Make it two." Jayant.

"We're going five." Morgan replied placed the C4s and put the timer on for five minutes.

"Alright. We'll make a run. Once the C4s explode, we'll be already out of here."

"Let's go!" Fahim.

Then, they rushed to their Armored Train, It took them four minutes. But it's good enough.

The Last Hope, Armored Train, Devil Dogs.

Makarov, along with Nikita and Walther found another Infantry Car and another Storage Car. They can now stock on more people and important supplies like food, water, diesel, ammunition, weapons, Silvers and Gold.

They've found a Kitchen Car, which is a morale improvement. At least they won't be eating rations, every day... They just need to recruit a skilled cook.

A Hospital Car, Jin would be happy to have that. Since he can tend to people's wounds without having to use his medikit too often.

A Workshop Car, Nikita seems content that he'll be able to make the train more durable and automatic turrets more effective, as Kenji, already has ideas to improve their current carrying capacity.

The Artillery Car being well repaired is enough to make Fahim glad that he's with a band of people who know what they're doing, not a group of amateurs who'll get their own asses kidnapped by Yanderes. For Russel's Case, at least, they'll have some fire support.

"Fire!"

Nikita goes full speed, as Morgan orders Fahim to fire a shot with an Artillery Car's Front Cannon. Exploding the Stone Blockade and passing through the area... Undamaged.
