Chapter 6

The next morning was a rush, everyone woke up seemingly pumped. Even I was a little excited to be going on a mission with a unit, as an equal. I didn't know what else to feel as this wasn't something that I had done before, only dreamed about.

We all took short showers, got dressed, and met in the commander's office around four thirty. The commander looked at us all and raised an eye-brow.

"You all are certainly exited about this" he said looking at his watch and then us all standing at attention in a line. I was in the middle this time and the twins were on my left, the female Furs were on my right. The commander either overlooked this because he didn't care, or something else because he didn't seem puzzled or interested at all. Instead he just got up from his desk and handed us a crate of bullets.

"I anticipated this, so I took the liberty of putting the non-lethal stun bullets in this crate for you" he said putting it on the floor, "there are more in each of your lockers, and on the plane that you'll be taking there."

No one seemed annoyed by this at all, in fact this seemed to make them more excited. I guess loading your own bullets to get ready for a mission was something that gave way to anticipation and excitement?

I went to the armory where we kept our guns and there was another crate there, the twins came in Blaze holding one side of the crate of bullets and Blake holding the other side. They set the crate down next to the other and went to grab their guns as well. I grabbed all of my mags, including the extra ones that I had grabbed earlier this week just in case, and then proceeded to fill them up with the bullets given.

The twins were loading up their heavy gun's huge mag, and not looking at me, not even once. Then Blake spoke up. At first I didn't think he was talking to me because he was still looking down, and then I looked up to see him looking at me.

"I, we are sorry for treating you so badly when we met you," he said and Blaze also nodded, looking up at me. I was shocked, I never expected either of them to apologize for their treatment or accusations. I entirely expected them to keep doing what they were doing for the rest of our time together as a squad.

I nodded back to them to show that I accepted their apology and then I put the last mag I needed to fill away, stood up, loaded and checked my guns, and strapped them on. My Sniper Rifle on my back with the the muzzle pointing towards the ceiling, and the FN Scar 16 in my hands pointing towards the ground.

The two didn't stop looking at me until I stood up and adjusted my weapons. The sudden noise and movement shook them out of their stupor and they were back to loading up their weapons, seemingly faster then previously.

I met up with Lilith and Amethyst outside of the armory, and then I went over grabbed the chest armor that was hanging on the walls all around the entire armory, and slipped it off of the wall. My mags went in first, since they were taking up my entire left arm, so I got on my knees, gently set them on the ground next to the vest and started to put them in the numerous pouches. I made a mental note to bring the vest into the armory room next time and load up everything there.

Once I was done with loading up the vest, I checked it, and then strapped it on and secured it, then I put my Sniper Rifle back on my back and picked up my Scar from where I set it against the wall. Lilith and Amethyst seemed to be watching me with interest as I did all of that, and then the commander came in, walked up to us, and was about to say something when the twins ran out of the armory, grabbed a vest, and joined us while putting the vests on. Their pistols were already in a holster at their waists, and once they were done they saluted and apologized for being so slow. The commander looked at them and then shook his head with amusement.

"You are fine boys, I have just come by to say good luck, and that your plane is taking off in ten, so GET YOUR ASSES DOWN THERE! NOW!" There it was. The five of us jogged down to the hanger and up the ramp inside of the plane, the commander laying out our plan of attack and what was going to happen:

We were heading down separately, with Lilith going with the Fenrir twins to sneak into the building, and with me and Amethyst going separate ways, me to the north end, and her to the south end, where there were pairs of snipers stationed.

On the way down me and Amethyst would take out the snipers in the watch towers before landing next to the pair of snipers on the north and south ends and dispatching them as well. Then we would give the all clear and the twins plus Lilith would make their way to the King with us watching their backs. I was the only one dropping alone, the other four would be going south to where there was an opening in the sewers that Lilith and the twins would be traveling through as we took care of everyone up top.

There were definitely going to be other people around, but they shouldn't get in the way of our mission.

----------------------

A loud beep resounded across the cabin as a signal that we were almost over the drop zone, I clipped my Scar to my vest, so that I could hang on to the parachute, and then checked everything else to make sure everything was where it was supposed to be. I pat down my pants and sighed, good it was still there. I did not want to lose the beeping device that the commander gave to me as it was my only form of communication with the team. I thought back to what they were: one click was for checking in, two was for clearing something, three for hostiles and friendlies, and hold for being in danger and leaving it up to the others to decide on what to do next.

There was another tone and the hanger door opened, we all got into formation, me in the front again, the female Fur behind me and the twins behind them, a 'v' formation. I took a breath and then jogged forwards and jumped out of the plane with the others following close behind. I drifted north, getting to my designated area at the time to deploy my parachute. I lifted my FN Scar 16 and aimed at the left tower, pulled the trigger, and then aimed at the right, and pulled the trigger. Both of the men went down, and my gun made no noise thanks to the silencers given to us during the flight.

I landed on the roof of a near by building, only two houses behind my target house, and I saw two Gray Wolf Furs playing cards on the roof. I just shook my head and shot them both in the temple shaking my head in disappointment. Both of them went down as the electricity took effect.

I jumped the house in front of me and then cleared the gap to the house that they were on. I got out some zip ties, and mitts with silver caps, slipped them on their hands and feet, since Furs didn't seem to wear shoes. Then I zip tied their hands behind them at the wrist, then their feet at the ankles, and dragged them to each other back to back. Two more zip ties were used to bind them to each other just in case.

Then I slipped off my Long Range Rifle, got out my clicker, pushed it once and then twice, and got on my stomach and looked at the area that Lilith and the twins should be coming from.

3rd POV

Lilith and the twins rushed through the sewers, with her at the lead looking at a 3D map projected from her watch. Once they got into position the twins pushed off the cap and lifted themselves out to see four men unconscious around them. That was a shocker for all of them, but they disregarded it, and dropped the men into the sewer before putting the cap back on, and making their way around to the north end of the building, which was surprisingly the back of the building.

Umbra watched as the three proceeded to break the knob and throw open the door before waiting a second and rushing inside. There were a couple muffled shots that came through on the earpiece, and three 'clears came through. Lilith went west and the twins went east through the building to work their way around to the throne room.

Umbra tracked the twins, and Amethyst tracked Lilith as they made their way through the building, the twins going up stairs and taking care of everyone up there as Lilith went around on the first floor.

"All clear up here" Blaze and Blake both said and then they made their way to where Lilith was making her way to the middle of the building when something caught her attention; a sound coming from the woman's bathroom.

"Hey guy's look what I found" Lilith said turning on her camera feed. The feed of a bathroom stall shaking and moaning coming from within came through the feed. I silently scoffed at their boldness while Amethyst gagged and told Lilith to get it over with and complete her rounds. Lilith didn't end the feed as she shot the legs of two Furs but thankfully didn't stay to see them fall. The feed cut out as she exited the bathroom.

"Disgusting" Amethyst said and the twins as well as Lilith agreed, and I clicked once to show my agreement with that statement.

The twins met up with Lilith at the corridor to the throne room doors, where two guards stood watch, Lilith was on the left of the hallway, and the twins were on the right of the hallway, and they all turned the corner at the same time and shot the two guards standing guard twice, a little more than needed.

They kicked open the doors with Lilith at the front kneeling and the twins standing up behind her. There were only six people in the throne room and when the doors burst open they all jumped and turned towards the doors guns raising, but were too late as Lilith and the twins shot them full of electric bullets making all six spasm and drop in front of the king.

Lilith stood up and the two stood there for a moment before entering the throne room fully. Lilith aimed a red dot at the now grinning King's chest while the twins looked around the room. Lilith let go of her rifle and grabbed Blaze's pistol from its holster and then shot the King in the chest, a red paintball exploded on contact with the King's shirt but the fur underneath prevented the king from even feeling the hit.

Umbra and Amethyst jumped down from the roofs that they were in, and made their way to the throne room. Their secondaries out just in case someone woke up early.

Amethyst got to the throne room first, her FN Scar 17 out and looking around. Once she was in the room she stepped aside to the left and lent on the pillar a little ways from the throne room doors.

"Is this the team that are going to be guarding me?" the King asked in an amused voice, not depicting if the paint on his chest bothered him at all, but Amethyst shook her head.

"No there's one more your highness," as she said it Umbra came into view and the King scowled at the sight of him.

Umbra stepped into the room, closed the doors and went to the right before leaning on the pillar closest to the doors there.

"Why is there a human in my throne room?" The King growled standing up from his throne.

Umbra's POV

I didn't think the King would like the sight of me from the beginning, but when I stepped into the throne room and saw him for the first time. I smirked at the irony, a corrupt Lion Fur as King of this part of the continent. In a way it was fitting, a corrupt King in the species of 'Kings'.

"I will not have a living human in my throne room without being notified first" he said walked up to me with open claws. There were hurried steps around us and I cocked my head, looking around the king at the others to see them looking at each other confused as well.

"Are they friendlies?" Amethyst asked looking at Lilith and the twins, they shook their heads.

"I don't think that the other soldiers would've woke up that quickly" she said and I internally growled. Sorry Lion King, I thought before pushing him back and to the center of the room.

"What? Wha---HOW DARE YOU PUT YOUR HUMAN HANDS ON ME!!" the King raged swinging out at me. As soon as he was in the center of the room. Lilith and the twins stood in front of him with their weapons trained on the door. I started to look around for escape routes, and apparently Amethyst was thinking the same thing because we met up behind the throne wall. I walked over to the center of the wall and looked for trace outlines, this seems like the logical place for an escape exit. I tried to push in the wall expecting to fail, but the entire section sank back and slid left to reveal a stairwell. Perfect.

I pointed to Amethyst and then to the others and she nodded, whistling and afterwards I heard rustling and the clicking of claws on the floor. The King came around first, and when he met my gaze he growled and extended his claws, diving at me. I held off his attack while Amethyst yelled at the others to grab him.

"How Dare you put your human hands on my pristine fur." He roared ceaselessly swiping at me with his claws. Eventually the twins dragged him back. Amethyst disappeared into the tunnel first. Then Blaze, the King, and Blake. I stepped into the tunnel behind Lilith and looked for a way to close the entrance. Then I saw an irregular stone on the right side, and I pressed it. The stone slid back and the door slid forwards and in to block off the tunnel.

"Good job Umbra, now lets get out of here before the others also storming this place find this" Lilith said and I nodded and followed them through the tunnel. Eventually the King took command, ordering us left, right, straight, and so on until we got to another door, hopefully leading outside.

The King pushed a button to the left and the door slid open, everyone stepped out, but when I stepped out the King tried to go after me again. Much to his displeasure the twins held him back and kept him away before standing in front of him with the girls standing behind them, in front of me.

"I order you to kill that human" the King spat after realizing that he wasn't going to be able to get me on his own.
