No Fighting In The War Room
The emblems of Beacon and A.M.C were shown spinning for a few seconds to the audience before they were replaced by the view of the two missiles flying towards their targets. They broke off and launch each of their six warheads, which will detonated all along the the Atlesian Coast in 15 minutes and thirty seconds.
"They have less time than I thought." Velvet said.
"Good thing they are inside of the facility now." Jaune stated.
"They will make it if they'll hurry." Winter said.
"Don't forget that they have to get the codes first." Ironwood pointed out.
"Team One moving in." Weiss spoke up.
It was followed by some unknown marine speaking up as well, "Team Two heading for base security."
Some unknown Beacon member spoke up as well, "Team Three has entered the base."
The camera then showed the audience the launch facility from the earlier mission and tracked the teams that breached it which all currently were in the air vents. It then moved across the entire facility, showing the audience all of the rooms that they will have to go through to get to the launch control room.
Command's voice then sounded on the screen, "Bravo Team, we got good news and bad news. Launch control is located southwest of your position, less than half a klick away. That's where you'll need to upload the abort codes to destroy the missiles in flight." Command explained.
"What's the bad news?" Tai asked.
"Let me guess, they didn't get the codes, yet." Roman assumed, finding it quite obvious.
"Weiss, go with the Atlesians and hit the security station. Ruby, Ciel, and I will head for launch control." Yang said.
"Roger." Weiss responded before asking, "Command, what's the bad news?
"Uh..the bad news is we're still trying to get those abort codes, over." Command said.
Roman crossed his arms, his expresion saying, "I knew it."
"Are they for real? They have no idea how many people will die if they don't get them?" Coco asked.
"They still have time to get them Coco." Yatsuhashi pointed out.
"The hell with it. We'll give it our best shot. Out." Yang stated.
Yang smirked, giving a nod of he rhead, "Damn straight, other me."
The camera zoomed itself into one of the air vents and the audience saw Ruby standing inside of the air vent where she rappelled down in the last mission, with Barton crouching down next to her.
"Alright, let's move." Yang said as Ruby crouched down behind Ciel and followed her into the vents.
"Captain Xiao-Long, this is Five-Delta Six, we're clearing the east wing heading for base security, over." Five-Delta Six said.
"Roger, Delta Six." Yang said, nodding her head to that, before informing him about her current location, "We're right above you in the vents, watch your fire."
"Copy that." Five-Delta-Six answered. Not long after he said that, Ruby heard someone shout something in the room below her and it was followed by the Atlesian marines and faunus from the White Fang breaking into a gunfight.
"Captain Xiao-Long, Two-Yankee six reporting in." Another marine spoke up to Yang shorty after that, "We're meeting with heavy resistance in the south wing. They've locked down our access point over here, over."
He didn't had to wait long for Yang to answer, "Roger Yankee Six. Regroup with Team Two and help them gain control of base security, over."
"Roger that sir. We're pulling back to regroup with Team Two. Yankee Six out." Yankee Six quickly responded to her words.
Ciel jumped out of the vents through a hole in the ceiling and Ruby was quick to follow her, landing in the showers. She was there greeted by the sight of two lifeless bodies laying in a pool of their own blood.
"Damn." Sky said.
"What the hell happened there?" Cardin asked with a raised brow.
"They were either killed or taken to this place after their death." Sage assumed.
Barton was the last one to jump into the showers through the hole in the ceiling and all four of them made their way over to the exit, passing by two more corpses leaning against the wall in the process.
"Captain Xiao-Long." Command called out to Yang, "We're sending your team the abort codes you'll need to auto-destruct the missiles in flight. You have fifteen minutes before those missiles reach the eastern seaboard, over."
Yang nodded her head to that, "Copy that."
A lot of the people in the audience let out a sigh of relief after hearing this information. Yang's squad was already in the facility and they just got the codes.
Coco looked at one of her teammates, "Well, you were right, Yatsu."
The squad made their way into the hallway where they came across three White Fang soldiers who immediately drew their weapons after seeing them. Ruby quickly responded by aiming her weapons at them, managing to take out one, while the other two took their covers. She aimed her M4A1 at one of them and waited for him to lean out of his cover and when he finally did, it was just a matter of seconds before a bullet went flying through his head.
She moved forward along he hallway, not having to worry about the third one who was already taken out by Ciel. She turned to the right and was about to move into another hallway but quickly stopped herself when she saw more enemies standing in her way. She knew they running out of time and had to hurry so she did the first thing that came into her mind. She threw a flash-bang which blinded most of her enemies after it's explosion.
They all moved towards the blinded enemies and made sure to at first take out the ones who weren't blinded by Ruby's grenade. After that, the ones were blinded and were slowly regaining their vision joined their fellow faunus shorty after. They didn't had any time to lower their guard as more faunus entered the room and hid behind some crates in the middle. Yang quickly hid herself from their bullets before throwing a grenade in their direction. The grenade bounced off the wall and landed right behind the faunus who didn't had time to react. The grenade exploded and killed some of them, the ones who survived were quickly taken out by Ruby, Ciel and Barton shorty after that.
Ruby reloaded her weapon before entering another room which didn't had much to offer. All it had to offer was a set of stairs. The squad walked down the stairs which took them to a room which was filled with crates on all of it's sides. She passed by her sister who was taking cover behind a single wooden crate and got rid of the two faunus which were running towards her and her squad, shooting every moment as they did so.
She quickly turned to the right and made sure to quickly take out a single faunus that happened to be standing on her way. She leaned against the crate, took a quick peek to observe her surroundings. Most of her view was covered by various crates and she knew she had to be careful in here, aware that the enemy could be waiting for around every corner.
"We're runnin' outta time! We gotta move!" Ciel declared.
"That's exactly what we're trying to do." Weiss pointed out, knowing that her character was doing the same thing somewhere in the facility.
Ruby finally left her cover and moved across the crate filled area, quickly breaking into a short gunfight with a faunus which leaned out his cover behind a green crate. She pushed further into the area, making sure to quickly take out the enemies that were either hiding behind a crate or standing between the crates. She tried to be as much careful as she could be at this moment, and knew that she just asking her enemies to end by just rushing forward like that, but she and her squad were running out of time and every second mattered by now.
Luckily for her, she wasn't shot by any of her enemies and safely made her way out of this room along with her squad. They moved into another room which looked completely different than any other room they have come across in this facility. The audience was about to ask what kind of room was that, but they quickly got their answer without even asking a question when Ruby turned to the left and saw another nuclear missile which was ready and waiting for be launched at any second.
Some faunus voice sounded across the entire facility and Ciel was quick to respond to this by asking, "What's goin' on? What are they sayin'?"
"They've started a bloody countdown! Khan's going to launch the remaining missiles! Keep moving." Yang answered.
"At least they're close to the launch control room, or at least I hope they are." Pyrrha said.
"They're in the room from which they are launching the missiles. The launch control room should be close." Ren said to which Pyrrha nodded in agreement.
There was a huge hallway in front of Ruby but she decided to not take this path for all the obvious reasons. She instead moved to the left, walking through a much smaller and shorter hallway, her eyes not leaving a nuclear missile in front of her. She quickly took her eyes of the large missile when she saw a single faunus hiding behind it. He leaned out of his cover and started firing at Ruby who quickly crouched down and fired back. He hid behind his cover again, having no idea that Ruby could still see a small piece of his leg. She used this occasion and shot him in the leg, making him collaps on the ground.
She approached him and saw him reaching out for his pistol but unfortunely for him Ruby ended his life with a swing of her knife before he could pull it out. She hid behind a missile to reload her gun as another White Fang soldier started shooting at her from another short hallway. She leaned out of her cover and took him out but quickly found out that he wasn't the only one shooting at her from the hallway. The other faunus joined his now dead friend just a few seconds later and Ruby moved out of her cover into the hallway which was leading towards another missile.
She held her gun in ready, already assuming that someone was waiting for her next to that missile and quickly found herself to be correct when one faunus tried to get rid of her, which ended up with him receiving a bullet to the head. Ruby threw a flash-bang grenade to see if someone was waiting for her behind the missile and just seconds after it exploded she could hear the enemy groan. She walked over to him and swung her knife at him, ending his life.
She was about to step into the hallway but stopped herself when some faunus started firing at her. She waited a few seconds before quickly leaning out of her cover. She fired back at him, ending his life after a few bullets hit his chest. It was safe for her to move forward now without having to worry about someone ending her life and that was exactly what she did.
When she stepped into this large hallway that she decided to avoid a few moments earlier, she saw her sister, Ciel and Barton all running forward. She was quick to join them and a few seconds later they all ran through the opened doors at the end of the hallway.
"Move, move." Yang said as she was the last one to enter this room. She quickly made sure to close the door behind them as more missiles were launched into the sky, engulfing the entire area from where Yang's squad just came from in flames.
"Well they made it in the last second." Scarlet stated.
"It's still better than getting engulfed in flames." Sun pointed out.
Scarlet nodded his head to that, "Right."
"Captain Xiao-Long, this is Weiss Schnee. We've taken over base security. What's your status, over?" Weiss called out to Yang.
Yang placed her hand on her comms as she and her squad turned to look at the heavy blast door in front of them, "Weiss, we're in position. Open the outer door to launch control."
"Roger, we're on it. Standby." Weiss said with a small pause before speaking up again, "Got it. Doors coming online now."
A moment after she said those words, the heavy blast doors started opening itself, slowly, very slowly.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Yang asked.
"They're very little on time and now this happens?" Goodwitch said.
"She can't make it open a little faster?" Emerald asked with a raised brow.
"Oh, you gotta be shittin' me." Ciel seemed to be displeased by it as much as most of the audience was.
"Weiss, can't you make it open faster?" Yang asked.
"Negative, but you can try pulling it if it'll make you feel better." Weiss answered.
Mercury chuckled along with a few other people in the audience, "Good one, Ice Queen."
"Cheeky Ice Queen..." Yang said, rolling her eyes at Weiss' comment
When the door finally opened, Yang's squad was instantly greeted by a few White Fang's soldiers already waiting for them on the other side. Ruby made sure to take out the one firing at them from the small office in front of them while Yang took care of the one faunus firing at them from his cover behind a few green crates. Ciel and Barton weren't staying behind. The dark skinned girl from Atlas made sure to get rid the one faunus shooting at them from his cover behind the wall as Barton quickly took out the faunus shooting at them from the other small office.
They moved forward and turned to the left to be greeted with the last four remaining White Fang soldiers but they didn't took much of their time. All three of them laid dead on the floor just a few seconds later, each one of them taken out by the different person from Yang's squad. The squad then moved down a few steps down and walked over to the wall made of bricks.
"Team Three, what's your status, over?" Yang asked.
She didn't wait for the reply, "Team Three in position, at the southeast side of the launch control room. Standing by. Are you at the far wall over?"
"Affirmative. Preparing to breach." Yang nodded her head, "Ruby plant the explosives, go!"
Ruby nodded her head and planted C4 on the wall in front of them. She stepped away from it and pulled out the detonator. She pressed it and the C4 exploded, the wall bursting into pieces. She switched her detonator back into her M4A1 and reloaded it to make sure it had the entire magazine. She and her squad then walked over to the hole in the wall she just made.
She stepped through it into a room that was filled with computers and there was also a large screen that was showing a map in front of them. She instantly took care of the one faunus that happened to be standing very close to the hole in the wall and didn't had time to move away from it. She quickly switched her attention towards another White Fang soldier who was running towards her from the other side of the room.
She looked around herself trying to spot if there was anyone left in the room, but the rest must have taken care of them.
She got the confirmation when Ciel yelled, "Clear!"
"Ruby, enter the codes! We'll watch for enemy reinforcements." Yang told her sister.
"C'mon, sis." Yang said.
She didn't had to repeat herself. Ruby quickly walked over to one of the computers and typed the codes that were given to them by the Menagerian government on the keyboard.
"Standby for confirmation. Standby...standby..." Command said with small pauses between the sentences, waiting for the confirmation. When it finally came and he was quick to announce it, "Bravo Six, all warheads have been confirmed destroyed in flight. We got a ton of debris, but most of it is landing in the waters."
A lot of people in the audience could feel how the relief overcame their bodies, but of course there was also some people who weren't that happy about it.
Tyrian was one of them. He frowned and crossed his arms, clearly disappointed that the missiles were stopped.
Ruby sighed in relief, "We stopped it!"
"Now all they need to do is take care of Sienna." Coco said.
"At first they need to find out where she is." Fox pointed out.
It was when something appeared on the map in front of them.
"Captain, check the security feed! It's Khan. She's takin' off!" Barton declared.
"Is she seriously trying to escape?" Neo asked.
"Considering that she was working with Cinder who escaped after a certain event." Goodwitch said making the mentioned woman glare at her, "Then I'm not suprised that she's escaping."
Ruby just stood and watched how the camera on the screen zoomed into Sienna who was entering a helicopter as Weiss called out to her squad, "Captain Xiao-Long, this is Schnee at the security station. They came in by trucks. I'm thinking we can all use them to get the hell outta here. I'm sending you the coordinates to the vehicle depot.
"Roger that. We'll meet you at the vehicle depot! Out! Everyone follow me let's go!" Yang said, moving towards the exit from this room.
"She's not going to get away with everything she's done. We'll make sure of that." Weiss stated.
Yang nodded her head to that, "Too right, Ice Queen."
"Then you better find a rocket-launcher on your way out, because it'll be hard to take her down in that aircraft of hers." Nora pointed out.
Ruby and Ciel exited the room through the hole she made just a few moments ago as Command spoke up to them again, "All teams this is command, recommend you exfil from the area immediately. Large numbers of hostiles are converging on your position. Get outta there now."
They made their way through the opened the heavy blast doors and saw that the doors that were close on their left that were closed the last time when they were there were now opened.
"We got company! Enemy reinforcements movin' in!" Ciel shouted as one White Fang soldier ran in the hallway in front of them.
Ruby quickly aimed her gun at the running faunus and took him down but he wasn't the only one in the hallway in front of them. There was someone hiding behind a barrel and just leaned out to take his shot but Barton made sure that he wasn't going to hurt anyone from his squad. They moved along the hallway and stopped when they were about to take a turn to the left.
A few White Fang soldiers happened to be waiting for them in the room with the elevator at the end of it. Ruby knew what had to be done next. She switched her normal M4A1 into her grenade launcher attachment while her sister threw a flash-bang grenade, which blinded their enemies just a few seconds later. She then fired it and a grenade exploded as soon as it collided with the ground, hearing her enemies screams just a second alter.
She remained behind her cover and then heard that someone survived her grenade. She reloaded her grenade launcher and fired it once again, this time hearing a single scream, but now knowing that the room was completely cleared out of the White Fang Soldiers. Yang, Ciel and Barton all moved towards the elevator while Ruby remained in the back for a moment to switch her attachment back into the normal M4A1
She made her way into the elevator where her squad was already waiting for her. The entrance to the elevator shut down and it started riding upwards shorty after.
"This is Schnee. We're takin' some fire up here at the vehicle depot. Where the hell are you guys?" Weiss asked.
"We're coming up the lift. Standby." Yang answered.
"You know, I wouldn't mind gettin' a shot at Khan." Ciel told Yang.
"Yeah...well...get in line...if she doesn't find us first..." Yang said back as the elevator stopped.
"I think that friend Ciel will be the one to kill Ms. Sienna." Penny said.
Ruby turned to look at her, "Why?"
"She was with me and Specialist Schnee before the nuclear explosion. She got lucky that she split up with us before the mission when it happened and by killing her..." Penny explained.
"She'll avenge me and you by killing her?" Winter finished.
"Precisely!" Penny nodded her head.
"We're going to find out soon." Ironwood said.
Sienna shifted in her seat which Ilia didn't failed to notice, "Are you okay?"
"It's just very uncomfortable when you're in a room of people who are discussing who is going to kill you." Sienna explained.
B let out a short and quiet chuckle, thinking to himself, "I can only imagine how uncomfortable it is going to be for the character that will play Makarov..."
Ruby, Yang, Ciel and Baron all exited the elevator and headed towards the vehicle depot, passing by a few lifeless bodies along the way. They finally made their way into the vehicle depot where Weiss, Arem and few others were in the middle of the fight with the White Fang soldiers. All four them quickly took their covers and started firing back at their enemies, eventually clearing the vehicle depot out of hostiles.
"All right, get in the trucks! Let's go!" Yang declared.
"You heard the man! Move!" Ciel said shorty after.
The screen faded to black just a second later.
"Well, half of their work is done. Now they just need to take care of Sienna." Qrow said.
"I have a bad feeling about the last mission in the first one." Blake said.
"Why?" Yang asked her.
"I got this feeling after you said something about her finding you first." Blake explained.
"Don't forget that we saw her enter the helicopter. She may have more of those with her." Ren pointed out.
"Yeah, taking care of her ain't going to be easy." Sun agreed with him.
"I wonder if Velvet is going to show up to help them." Fox said, "She tried to help them when they were trying to catch Ilia. It would make sense if she came to help them to do the same with her mom."
Ruby turned to look at B, "B, we need to know what happens next!"
B's response was immediate. He pressed the button, starting the last mission of the first game.
---
And with that, we're moving to the last mission of the first Modern Warfare!
