Heat
The emblem of Beacon spined around for a second as the next mission began. Then, the camera began slowly lowering itself on the village in Menagerie where Yang and her squad have recently captured and executed Cinder.
Weiss' voice sounded on the screen, shorty after, "E.T.A. on the chopper's at least a half hour, Captain Xiao-Long."
"Oh, so we're still in the place where they killed Cinder." Neo said. She thought that they're going to move to another location.
"No good." Yang stated, "We'll be corpses for ten minutes by then. Every White Fang psycho in Khan's pocket is about to show up on our doorstep, coming to claim Cinder Fall."
"Or what's left of her." Weiss pointed out.
Cinder frowned and sighed angrily.
Roman chuckled, "You're still not over with the fact that they killed you off."
When Cinder glared at him, he said, "Yup, you are."
Yang grinned, "Cinder's death was surely a mind blowing experience, don't you think? She went out with a Yang."
Blake cringed, placing her hand on her forehead, "...Yang."
Weiss cringed as well, followed by many other people in the audience cringing as well, "Don't start."
A small anti-personal mine popped into the screen and a square slowly placed it throughout the hill as Yang began,"Right. We'll set charges along phase line Alpha on the southern hill... ...and more along phase line Bravo." The mines exploded, the black smoke overcoming the hills while the helicopter landed in the area of the barn where Cinder was executed, "We'll delay them all the way back to the top, and hold our ground at the extraction point in the fields around the farm. Any questions?"
A short moment of silence passed until Weiss said, "Let's do this."
The screen turned black for a second and the next thing the audience could see was an inscription in the middle of the screen that said.
Present Day - Eight hours after Cinder Fall's death.
"Eight hours?" Miltia said.
"They couldn't call for help earlier?" Melanie added.
It was quickly followed by the view of Ruby running down the street, behind Yang, Weiss and Barton.
She gripped her M249 SAW tightly as one the White Fang soldiers called out to them through loudspeaker, "Surrender at once and your lives will be spared! I am sure you will make right choice given the circumstances! Drop your weapons and surrender at once! You will not be harmed if you surrender!"
"This guy really thinks that they're going to fall for that?" Sun asked.
"They're probably thinking it's worth a try." Scarlet shrugged his shoulders.
"Even though, It is unlikely that they will listen to them." Sage stated.
"Ignore that load of bollocks. Their counterattack is imminent. Spread out and cover the southern approach." Yang said to her squad, running over to the fence along with Weiss and Barton.
Ruby went in the other direction than her rest of her squad. She switched her machine gun to her sniper-rifle when she ran into the church. She turned to the left and walked up the stairs to the upper level of the tower, a few RPG's being the first thing that the audience spotted.
Sky whistled, "Look at this!"
"All those rocket launchers." Russel smirked.
"Those bastards from the White Fang won't know what hit them!" Dove laughed, making Adam and Sienna glare at him.
Ruby didn't even bothered to look at the RPG's on the floor. She just walked over to the window and readied her sniper-rifle.
"Captain, they're slowly coming up the hill. Just say when." Barton said, laying on the ground next to Weiss and Yang, observing the White Fang soldiers walking up the hill, unaware that they were walking right into a trap.
"They surely send a lot of them to this village." Vernal observed.
Raven shrugged her shoulders, "They send as many soldiers as they can because they're probably thinking that Cinder is still alive."
The faunus using the loudspeaker continued, "...We know you are hiding in the village! You are surrounded! There is nowhere to run! Surrender and make it easy on yourselves!"
Ruby looked through her scope right at the faunus as Yang declared, "Do it!"
"Ka-boom." Barton said as the mines exploded, engulfing the entire hill in explosion, taking out many of the White Fang soldiers.
Nora laughed, "This guy with loudspeaker now knows that they won't give up so easily."
"Open fire!" Yang shouted.
She, Weiss and Barton began firing at the remaining White Fang soldiers from the top of the hill while Ruby moved her scope around, taking out the faunus that were either firing back at her sister, Weiss and Barton or trying to take a cover behind a tree or a fence, but no matter how many faunus they took down, more of them just kept arriving.
An RPG rocket flied right into the tower, exploding just inches away from her head, but it thankfully didn't do much damage to her. She decided to respond to it with her own RPG rocket switched her sniper rifle to one of the RPG's on the floor. She aimed it in the direction from which rocket came from and fired. The rocket exploded when it hit a tree, killing the two unfortunate White Fang soldiers that happened to be nearby.
She switched the now empty RPG back into her sniper-rifle as one of the faunus ordered, "Put up a smokescreen! Throw your smoke grenades!"
Response to this order was immediate. Smoke grenades were thrown into the air and soon enough the entire lower part of the hill was engulfed in smoke. Ruby moved her scope around, trying to spot at least one faunus but she couldn't.
"They're putting up smokescreens. Yatsu - you see anything?" Yang asked Yatsuhashi.
Yatsuhashi quickly responded, "Not much movement on the road. They might be moving to our west."
It was quickly followed by their enemies making their next move. Mortar fire suddenly landed on the ground, creating small craters in the place of explosions.
"They're targeting our position with mortars. It's time to fall back." Weiss pointed out.
Yang nodded her head to that, "Right. Ruby, get to the minigun and cover our western flank. Go."
Ruby quickly made her way out of the church and ran over to the destroyed helicopter, just seconds before one of the mortars hit the tower from which she was firing from at the faunus.
"She got lucky." Hazel stated.
"If she didn't left her position, then this explosion would surely kill her." Watts added.
Ruby crouched down and walked into the helicopter, grabbing the minigun.
"Now, this is what I'm talking about it." Coco smirked, "But it's much smaller than mine."
B turned to the leader of team CFVY, "I assure you Coco, it might be smaller, but it is as deadly as yours."
Ruby watched how Yang, Weiss and Barton made her way over to the destroyed helicopter as the fence exploded, allowing the White Fang soldier to enter the village. She started firing from the minigun at them, getting rid of them just moment after they stepped into the village.
But the White Fang soldiers wasn't the only thing she had to deal with while using the minigun. A few helicopters filled with White Fang soldiers appeared in her view as the aircrafts stopped above various places in front of Ruby. Unfortunely for them, but fortunely for Ruby and her squad, none of the faunus even had a chance to rappel down the line as she quickly moved the minigun around. All of the helicopters were engulfed in flames and it's flaming rotors took all of them away from Ruby's sight, where they exploded in the exact moment when they collided with the ground.
A lot of people in the audience were impressed by Ruby taking out the helicopter filled with White Fang soldiers as if they were nothing with the minigun. Coco was the one impressed the most. This minigun might have been smaller than hers, but it was surely as deadly, just like B told her.
She turned to look at him, smirking, "Impressing."
"Ruby, fall back to the tavern and man the detonators. The rest of us will keep them busy from the next defensive line." Yang declared as Ruby let go off the minigun and came out of the helicopter, "Everyone move!"
Ruby broke herself into run and ran ahead of group with the rest of the squad running closely behind her. She made her way into the tavern while the others stayed outside. She ran up the stairs to the second floor and grabbed the first detonator. She looked through the window which was giving her a good look at the hill in front of the tavern. There wasn't many faunus there but she decided to use it anyway. The explosion took the few White Fang soldiers on the hill by suprise and it was the last thing they ever felt.
She moved to the second detonator. She picked it up and stared at the same hill. She pressed the detonator and the other part of the hill was overcame by explosions, killing only two faunus that happened to be there. She then moved towards the third detonator and took a quick look what was happening outside through the window. This area, unlike the previous one was filled with the White Fang soldiers firing at her squad. She saw a huge group of the faunus taking cover next to the destroyed helicopter.
"There's so many of them." Oobleck observed.
"How many soldiers did they send here?" Goodwitch asked, "No matter how many faunus they took down, either on ground or in the aircrat, more of them are just coming."
"Considering that in the last mission, they send so many soldiers just to take out two people, then I'm certain that this number is multiplied in this mission." Ironwood replied.
Ruby pressed the detonator, taking down a good portion of the faunus next to the helicopter before moving to the last detonator. She took a good looked at the area around the house that was just down the street before pressing it, the explosion taking out a few White Fang soldiers.
"We have enemy tanks approaching from the north..." Yatsuhashi paused for a moment. Then next thing he let out was a painful grunt followed by, "...Bloody hell I'm hit! Arrgh..."
"Yatsu's in trouble!" Yang pointed out, as Ruby ran out of the house, seeing that Yang, Weiss and Barton who were apparently joined by Arem and Velvet's loyalist turned around and began moving in the direction of the barn, "Ruby! Get to the barn at the northern end of the village and stop those tanks. Use the Javelin in the barn!"
"What about Yatsu? They're going to get him later, right?" Velvet asked, worried about her teammate.
B shook his head, "Unfortunely no."
Velvet, Coco, Fox and Yatsuhashi just stared at him with wide eyes after his words, with the leader of the team CFVY asking, "What do you mean by that?"
"I'm sorry to say this to all four of you, but unfortunely Yatsu dies here." B said.
That got quite a reaction from the students from Beacon, even from Sun's team. Coco lowered her sunglasses to see if B was serious or not, and sighed sadly after realizing that he wasn't joking and this version of her teammate just died, Fox placed his hand on Yatsuhashi's shoulder who just gave him a silent nod in response, and Velvet lowered her head sadly, and B could have sworn he saw her shed a few tears.
Ruby ran over to the fence, passing by a few RPG's. She turned back to take a quick look at what was happening behind her and saw three more helicopter coming to aid the White Fang. She picked up the RPG's and aimed it the helicopter that was the closest one to her. She quickly fired the RPG rocket at it, taking it down before it could the soldiers could even rappel themselves into the ground.
She then turned around did the same with the second helicopter, but unfortunely for her the helicopter already released the faunus into the ground and was flying away from the village. She picked up her sniper-rifle again, leaving the RPG on the ground before making her way to the barn. The first thing she spotted after running into it was the fact that it was filled with various weapons but Javelin that was laying on the crate was the only weapon there that got her attention was.
She picked it up, leaving her sniper-rifle on the crate and ran out of the barn.
"Alright, let's see this baby in action again." Summer said as she rubbed her hands excitedly, looking forward to see Javelin in action again.
She locked her rocket launcher onto the tank that she normally wouldn't be able to see because it was heading road of the the hill to the right side of the barn. It took her a moment fire to the rocket, but when she finally did, it flied right into the sky. She loaded another rocket while the rocket she fired a second ago changed it's direction. It hit the tank and it's lower half could be seen flying into the sky in distance.
She then locked Javelin on another tank heading down the hill, but it's path was apparently blocked by the one that was taken out by Ruby because it stopped moving. Ruby wasn't complaining about it. It just made her job easier. She fired another rocket and soon enough another upper half of the tank could see flying into the sky.
But she wasn't over with tanks. She moved to the fence and saw three other tanks in the distance, right next to the entrance to the area of the farm. It didn't took her that long to take care of them as well, and a few moments later, every tank that was send to take them out was destroyed.
When she was sure that she dealt with every tank, she switched the Javelin to her M249 SAW and went over to hide behind a wall of a much smaller barn to her right.
She didn't had to stay in her cover for long as three AV-8 Harriers flied over the farm, with one of the pilots calling out to Yang's squad, "Bravo-Six, this is Falcon One standing by to provide close air support, over."
"And there are Harriers." B smirked, thinking to himself, "Also known as one of the best killstreaks in Modern Warfare 2."
"Harriers?" Winter asked, now intrigued.
"What are those?" Ironwood aksed, intrigued as well.
"AV-8B Harrier II is a single-engine that constitutes the second generation of the family. Capable of (V/STOL), the aircraft was designed in the late 1970s as an Anglo-American development of the British , the first operational V/STOL aircraft." B explained to Ironwood what it was.
Ruby pulled out a walkie-talkie and pointed at the certain area in front of, telling the Harriers to attack as the new completely voice spoke up, "Bravo-Six, this is Gryphon Two-Seven. We've just crossed Menagerian airspace. E.T.A. is four minutes. Be ready for pickup."
It was quickly followed by Harriers flying over the field in front of the barn, dropping bombs that exploded in the exact moment when they touched the ground, taking out a lot of the White Fang soldiers and leaving a small myst of dust on the field.
Ironwood placed his hand on his chin, making another mental note of something that could improve Atlas Military, "I wish that I had a pen and a notebook..."
"You couldn't have ask that earlier?" B cut Ironwood off before he could finish. He snapped his fingers and a notebook and a pen popped into existance on Ironwood's and Winter's knees, "Here you go."
"Thank you." Ironwood thanked him and immediately began writing the ideas of Harriers, Javelin and Flash-Bang grenades down.
B glanced at him writing down things in his new notebook, thinking to himself, "I'm calling it now, he is going to add Predator missile once it appears."
"Bravo-Six, the LZ is too hot!" Sea Knight Pilot declared, "We cannot land at the farm! I repeat, we CANNOT land at the farm! We're picking up SAM sites all over these mountains!
"Oh, that's just great! Now where are they gonna land now?" Weiss asked, not liking this one bit.
Raven rolled her eyes, "Of course they had to switch the LZ, otherwise it would be too easy."
She didn't had to wait long for the answer, "Bravo-Six, we're getting a lot of enemy radar signatures, we'll try to land closer to the bottom of the hill to avoid a lock-on."
"Bottom of the hill?" Jaune said.
"Weren't we just trying to get away from this place?" Ruby asked.
Weiss was not pleased with this, and she wasn't afraid to voice her thoughts, "Is he takin' the piss? We just busted our arses to get to this LZ and now they want us to go all the way back down?!"
A lot of people in the audience turned to look at Weiss who lowered her head in embarrassment after hearing the outburst of her other self.
Yang was the first one to say somomething to her, "Maybe our Ice Queen should try something to cool off."
Weiss groaned, which was followed by many other people in the audience groaning as well.
Tai was an exception. He shed a tear, proud of his daughter.
"Forget it, Ice Queen! We've got to get to the new LZ at the bottom of the hill!" Yang told Weiss before turning her attention to her sister, "Now! Ruby! Take point! Go!"
"Bravo-Six, be advised." Sea Knight Pilot spoke up to them again, "We're gonna come in low from the south across the river. Recommend you haul ass to LZ Foxtrot at the base of the hill. Out.
Yang nodded her head to that, "Copy, Two-Seven. Everyone - head for the landing zone! It's our last chance! Move!"
Ruby and the rest wanted to head towards the LZ, but the field was too crowded for to move further. She had a solution for this. She pulled out walkie-talkie again and ordered another Harrier strike on the area. The Harriers flied over the area again, and the bombs the aicraft dropped cleared it out completely out of enemies.
The entire squad pushed themselves into run immediately after that. They knew they that had to hurry. They only had a few minutes to get to the LZ and more enemies could arrive at any moment. Ruby and Yang ran in front of the squad, with Weiss, Barton, Arem, and the loyalist running closely behind them.
They passed by a house and ran down the hill, passing by a tavern as well. Actually, they had to stop there for a second, because they spotted a group of few faunus running up the hills with the intention no other than killing them. They took them out without they even spotted them, clearing the path for themselves.
They proceeded to make their way towards the LZ, running past the destroyed helicopter and the church with now destroyed tower. They were so faunus running towards them from the direction of the church but they left alone, because they were already too close to the LZ and they were running out of time. They ran down the hill, hearing how the White Fang soldiers were firing their guns at them and feeling how the bullets were flying right next to their bodies.
When they finally made their way over to the LZ, which happened to be right in front of the gas station where they met up with one of Velvet's men before entering this village.
The back of the helicopter opened and four marines rushed out. One of them looked awfully similiar to the audience.
Winter leaned a bit forward towards the screen, just to make sure that she was seeing correctly, "Is that Soleil?"
"Friend Ciel survived the nuke?" Penny asked, placing her hand on her chin, suprised to see Ciel.
"Technically." Goodwitch began, "We haven't seen her during the nuke explosion. She could've been somewhere else when it happened."
"It looks like Atlesian Marines and Beacon are going to team up to take care of Sienna." Port assumed.
Ozpin took a sip from his mug before stating, "It is rather likely that many of them lost their friends in that explosion. Them joining Ms. Xiao Long and her squad in their mission of taking care of Sienna was just a matter of time."
"They deserve to get some revenge on Sienna." Qrow stated to which many people in the audience nodded in agreement.
"Heard you guys need a ride outta here." Ciel told to Yang's squad, crouching down in front of the entrance to the helicopter, "Get on board!"
She didn't had to tell them twice. Ruby was the first one to make her way into the helicopter, followed by her sister, Weiss, Barton, Arem and Velvet's loyalist. Ciel and other three marines remained outside for a few more second before they made their way back into the helicopter as well.
"Alright, we're all aboard! Go! Go!" Ciel shouted to the pilot.
His response was instant, "Ok, we're outta here."
The aircraft took off into the air and began flying away from the village, the last thing the audience heard was the pilot calling out to Qrow, "Baseplate, this is Gryphon Two-Seven. We got 'em and we're coming home. Out."
It was the last thing that happened before the screen turned back.
"Another tense mission." Sun stated.
Neptune agreed with friend, "The guys who made this game really show how to make the missions tense for the person either playing or watching it."
"I'm glad you think like that, because we're like five missions away from finishing the first game from the trilogy." B explained. He knew that there was one more mission, but he was debating if he should show it to them or not.
"Five missions? Then I assume that they're going to reveal Ilia's relation with Sienna in a mission or two, because you did said that we're going to find out about it in one of the next missions." Ren said.
"I'm sticking with Ren's theory that she was the one who saved Sienna after Yang blown her arm off." Pyrrha said.
Weiss said, nodding her head along with other people in the audience who agreed with Ren's theory, "It is the most likely scenario."
"I'm just sad that Yatsu died." Velvet said. She already wiped off the few tears that fell down her cheeks after B confirmed that her teammate died in this mission. She was just happy that it wasn't shown on the screen.
Yatsuhashi remained silent. He knew that every character was not safe, no matter if you're good or bad guy and was aware that there was a possibility that he may die. He was just happy that it wasn't shown on the screen because it would surely make one of his teammates burst into tears.
B just nodded his head to her words, as he started another mission by pressing the button.
