War Pig
An emblem of Beacon appeared on the screen, meaning the start of another mission. The camera went away from the map, and it showed the audience the last location of Ruby Rose, before it moved across the map and stopped on Vacuo.
"Oh, we're back to Penny and Winter." Summer stated.
"It appears so." Port said.
"Well, the last mission started with Yang's squad ending their mission, so it was quite obvious." Qrow pointed out.
"Another mission about them kicking Cinder's ass." Roman stated, earning a glare from Cinder.
Their premonitions were quickly confirmed an emblem of Beacon appeared on the screen again and it quickly changed into the A.M.C one, with Penny's name written under it. The camera started zooming itself down onto the location where Penny, Winter, Ciel and other marines were defending a tank from Cinder's forces the last time they saw them.
As the camera proceeded to lower itself down, a square that was showed one of Cinder's being shot down appeared on the screen. When the lifeless body of Cinder's soldier fell on the floor, the picture of Cinder herself appeared on the screen also appeared in the view of the audience, as Lisa Lavender's voice spoke up, " ...Heavy fighting continued throughout the night as Atlesian. Marines continued to push towards the capital city in pursuit of Cinder Fall. Sporadic fighting can be heard as the bulk of Cinder Fall's forces fall back towards the Presidential Palace."
"Yup, I was right." Roman said.
''If you wanted to win with them, you really should have prepared better for it. " Watts said, glancing over at Cinder.
Everything that was related to Cinder disappeared from the screen, and it was replaced a small square that was showing the tank from earlier, as Winter's voice sounded on the screen, "Command, this is Lt. Schnee. War Pig is en route. We're not missing this party..."
"I still can't believe how ridiculously they named their tank." Goodwitch stated.
The camera stopped on the War Pig, and just like it did with the last mission with AC130, it began to show audience everything they needed to know about this war machine. Like how many it money they had to spare to make one, where it was made or how many crewmember it needed.
"Beautiful machine." Ironwood commented.
Then the camera finally zoomed itself down onto Penny, and the audience could see her, hiding behind a destroyed car, as she along Winter, Ciel and many other marines were fighting off Cinder's forces.
"Polendina! Get your ass on the line now! We got hostiles moving in from the north!" Lopez shouted to her as he was firing at Cinder's men from the cover.
"Lopez? Who's this guy?" Emerald asked.
"He was mentioned when they were defending War Pig." Neo explained to her.
Emerald tapped her chin, remembering it now, "Oh, right."
''Bravo Six we're clear of the Bog, thanks for the assist. We'll hold down the left flank and provide supporting fire, out." War Pig said.
Penny clutched her M4A1 tightly as she was moving further and further into the battlefield, while taking out any of Cinder men that tried to take her out. One of them was hiding behind a cover that was right next to a huge pile of trash. At first, she didn't notice him, but luckilly for her, he seemed to ran out of the bullets in his weapon and had to pull his pistol out. Penny stabbed him with her knife, ending his life before any harm could be done to her or any of her fellow marines.
Polendina took cover behind the same pile of trash and poked her head out to take a look of where her enemies were at this moment. Most of them, at least for now, seemed to be taking cover behind an old bus, or were taking cover inside of it. She quickly ran out of her cover, and ran up to barrel that was nearby, allowing her to have a closer look on the bus. At first, she focused her attention of the enemies that were hiding inside of the bus. After hiding behind a barrel for a moment, she leaned out and fired back at them, taking out two of them in the process.
When it seemed that the ones inside of the bus were reloading their weapons, Penny ran out of her cover to the bus, and reloaded her gun herself before making more steps further. She then along with two other marines joined her, and decided to take a chance to take out everyone who was hiding behind that bus, and unfortunely for their enemies, but fortunely for Polendina and other marines, everyone who was taking cover behind the bus was taken out, but it was not over. There were still one or two enemies left in the bus.
Penny was about to make her way into the bus, but someone else, Roycewicz was faster than her and the sounds of her enemies falling down on the ground was all she needed to hear.
"Oh, there's the guy that Penny saved!" Ruby stated.
"Good to see him doing something." Yang said.
"Well, at least he didn't vanish after the last mission with Penny." Blake stated.
Roycewicz quickly joined her outside, offering her a quick nod of his head before he saw something approaching them, "Enemy air assault! Get ready! They're moving on both our flanks!"
Penny turned in the direction he was pointing towards to, and saw two helicopter approaching their location, luckilly for her, she spotted a few RPG, when she was assaulting this place to take out everyone hiding behind the bus.
"Grab an RPG and take out those choppers!" Winter called out to everyone.
It seemed like it all Penny had to hear. She quickly walked over to the RPG and picked one of them up. She aimed it at one of the helicopters as the first enemy was about to start to rappel down line into the battlefield, but he didn't make it to the ground as Penny took the helicopter out with the RPG, which was quickly followed by the second one sharing the same fate, the sound of both of them crashing somewhere could be heard in the background.
"Those guys didn't even had a chance to fight back." Nora laughed.
"Well, they had rocket launcher, it was obvious that they're not going to make it to the ground." Coco stated.
As Penny, Winter and Ciel along with other marines began moving to the left along the street that was leading into more city like part of this place, War Pig drove over a white pickup, completely crushing the front of it, as one of the crewmembers of this machine spoke up,''Uh, Bravo Six, possible ambush area up front. We'll uh move up when you've cleared the area ahead of us, over."
Winter nodded her head as she ran into the city, and almost immediately hid behind a yellow car when she saw how many enemies were waiting for them, ''Watch for silhouettes on the rooftops!"
Penny saw an enemy on the roof of one of the buildings, pointing at RPG in the direction of the War Pig, but she quickly took him out, as War Pig called out, "Marines stand clear. We're gonna get some rounds into those buildings!"
"There's surely a lot of them here." Ilia stated.
"They really don't want them here." Miltia stated.
"Wouldn't you too, sis? When their leader is basically making her last stand?" Melanie asked her sister.
Penny was firing back at the enemies that were shooting at her and the rest from the something that looked like a store as one of the crewmembers of the War Pig said, ''Gunner, two/three story building, 11/1 o'clock/11:30, ground floor/second floor (balcony)!""
"Target acquired!'' Another crew member of the War Pig shouted.
"Fire!" And the third crew member of the war machine ordered, and just a second after saying those words. The barrel of the tank fired, and the missile flew right into the building that it was heading towards to. Penny being able to witness how the front of it was completely destroyed, leaving a huge hole in the building out of which smoke was coming out. The enemies who were firing from there were neither dead or left severely wounded, meaning that wouldn't cause them more trouble.
"Ouch." Qrow said, taking a sip from his flask.
''That must've hurt." Dove said.
"I doubt they felt anything." Mercury stated.
''Bravo Six, we're moving up." War Pig called out as the entire machine, along with marines began moving along the street further into the city. Everyone except for Penny who made her way into a house through a huge that was made in it, before her and the other marines even arrived at this place. She walked up the stairs to the first floor and was quickly met with an enemy that was slightly opening the door just to he could fire a few bullets from his gun at her. A few rounds left Penny's gun and they went through the wooden door and the lifeless body of a shooter fell on the ground, opening the door completely.
But she knew that she couldn't lower her guard now, as there was another room on this floor. She carefully leaned out of of the cover she took behind a wall and found herself to be correct when they she spotted two enemies inside, that were quickly taken out by her. She reloaded her gun as she walked into that room, and went over to the balcony to see the War Pig moving along the street along with Winter, Ciel and the rest.
She knew there wasn't anyone left on this side of the city, so she went over to another room, walking past the lifeless body of the enemy that tried to take her out through the doors. She went over to the balcony in that room, and began firing at the enemies that were neither on the streets or inside of a place that looked like a cafe or a bar, or something similiar to these two.
Penny proceeded to take out as many enemies as she could from the balcony, Winter, Ciel and the others doing the same from the ground level and, the machine gun from the War Pig taking out a better portion of them down itself.
When there wasn't any enemies in Penny's sight, she jumped off the balcony, joining the others on the ground, instantly noticing how many enemies she was unable to see from the balcony on this side.
"I have to admit, that was a bit reckless." Goodwitch stated.
"I have to agree on that. She could have get shot while falling on the ground, or something else could have happen." Winter agreed with her.
"Well she seems okay for now." Oobleck said.
Penny acted instantly to avoid getting shot. She ran up to a damaged wall to take a cover behind it, and when she made sure that she had entire magazine in her weapon, leaned out to take out the enemy that was standing on the balcony, before hopping above what was left of that wall. She ran over to the building where lots of enemies were currently hiding in, but didn't go inside as she spotted a wooden stairs that were leading to the first floor of this building.
She then saw Winter who was most likely going to assault this building, so to make it easier for her, she threw a flash-bang inside, and moved towards the wooden stairs. As she started running up them to the first floor, she could hear the flash-bang exploading and the enemies getting blinded by it.
Upon reaching the first floor, she was almost immediately meet with someone that tried to kill her, she happened to be quicker, and it didn't end well for him. Similiar thing happened with his three others comrades as Penny took them out as well, clearing the entire first floor out of her enemies. She ran down the stairs with her gun in ready just in case if someone was there, but luckilly for her, all of the enemies that were on the ground floor just a moment ago were shot down by Winter and the rest.
Now the only building that had any enemies left inside of it was a building in front of them. Some of the enemies were on the first floor, firing from the windows, but most of them were on the ground floor, and the ones on the ground floor were the first ones to be taken out by the marines, their comrades from the first floor quickly sharing the same fate as them.
''Soleil, keep em' pinned down from here. Bravo - head out back and flank 'em from the right." Winter ordered, as her, Penny, Ciel, and other marines moved towards this building, running into it.
"They're pullin' back! Stay sharp - it could be a trap!" Ciel said back, kneeling down by the window, apparently noticing some movement outside.
"Oh, teammate Ciel is in this mission?" Penny asked, apparently not having a chance to spot her earlier.
"She was, I saw her once or two, but this is probably the first time she said something in mission." Ruby said to Penny.
"Oh." Penny said in response, titling her head towards Ruby.
Penny, Winter, Gaines and Roycewicz moved through the building and moved into the parking lot that was filled with cars and was leading to another building, the other marines staying behind for some reason, and were almost immediately meet with more enemies after reaching this place.
"Why am I not suprised." Sun stated.
''Ciel said that she saw some movement. That must've been them moving to this place." Scarlet stated.
Penny quickly took down the two guys with machine guns in a second story window, as she took a place behind a dumpster to hide from the enemies that were on the ground level. Her cover didn't last long as Lopez, who must've just joined them in this place, started pushing the dumpster forward, and was quickly joined by Winter herself as they pushed it a few metres further.
"Why am I doing that?" Winter asked, confused.
"Probably to have a cover closer to Cinder's men or something like that." Weiss said to her sister, saying the first thing that came into her mind.
Weiss' theory quickly seemed to be the correct one as Penny once again hid behind the dumpster, crounching down beside Lopez as Winter left them to hide behind a grey car. Polendina watched how her fellow marines were clearing out Cinder's men, as before leaning out of her cover to see the last two enemies hiding behind a white truck, out of which smoke was coming out. It was when an idea popped into her mind, she took out a grenade and quickly threw it in the direction of that truck. It landed under the truck, just a second before it exploded. The vehicle exploded along with it, the enemies that were hiding behind it died along with the explosion.
With every enemy in their way gone, the entire group started moving along the parking loot until the finally reached the building. Winter quickly kicked the door open as the rest braced themselves for another fight just in case, but there was nobody there, the building was empty. All five of them ran up the stairs to the first floor and went into a completely destroyed room. It was completely uncovered because of huge hole in the building which allowed them to see everything that was happening on the streets.
''Hold right here! Enemy tank comin' up the road!" Gaines pointed out. It was when everyone could see a tank moving down the street, with some of Cinder's soldiers walking behind it. That tank was a little smaller than War Pig, and also a little thinner, but everything else like lenght seemed to be pretty much the same.
''Warpig, Bravo six! T-72 behind the building at your 10 o' clock! Can you engage, over!" Winter called over to the crew of the War Pig.
The response to her call was quick, ''Roger that Bravo six, I got him on thermal, switching to manual."
After hearing those words, the audience could see the War Pig rolling down the street. The tank stopped just before it reached the bus, turning it's gun towards the enemy tank, despise the building being in it's way, "Taking the shot."
And with that, the barrel of the tank fired, making a hole in the building, and slamming right into the enemy tank. Sparkes started coming out of it, and a moment later, the enemy tank exploded, in a very spectacular way, the cannon going into the air while it's main body started burning, basically becoming a bonfire.
''Woo! Yeah! Woo! Yeah!" Lopez cheered.
''Holy shit! Did you see that?!" Gaines shouted, being in awe of the explosion.
"That's what I'm talking about, baby!" Roycewicz shouted.
"Wow!" Ruby said, being in awe of the explosion just as the marines.
"Did you see that?" Neptune asked, being in awe just as Ruby, and pretty much most of the audience.
"That was awesome!" Nora shouted, rising up from the chair with her fists in the air.
"Nora, you seem to like explosions, do you?" B asked her.
"You bet I do, masked fella!" Nora said back to him.
B bit his lips as he nodded his head at her, thinking to himself, "Just wait for the next mission if you like explosions so much."
Any enemies that were accompaying the tank just a second ago were quickly taken out as Winter said to the War Pig crew, "Nice shootin' Warpig. Lot' o secondaries. Now let's get the hell outta here."
''Comin' through. Roger Bravo Six." War Pig crew member said as the tank got moving again, crushing the entire front of a pickup, and when that crewmember noticed it, he let out an awkward chuckle, "So...uh, hehe, are there yet?''
''Bravo Six, 2nd platoon is moving to rendezvous near your location, what's your status, over?" Command asked.
"Precious cargo is intact and en route. We're almost at Highway 4 and should make visual contact shortly with 2nd platoon." Winter explained as the entire squad of marines jumped out of the building and started to make their way down empty the streets.
When they made their way to the edge of the city, the sound of the helicopter filled the place, which was quickly followed by the voice of one of the pilots of a helicopter that landed into the open field saying, ''Lt. Schnee, this is Outlaw-Two-Five. The Task Force is moving in to capture Cinder Fall. It's all hands on deck for this one so get on board, over."
''Roger that! Marines! We just got a fix on Cinder Fall's position! Everyone on board! Let's go!" Winter said to her men.
It was the last thing that the audience heard as the screen went to black.
"Well, we're done with another mission." B said as he turned to the audience, "What do you think is going to happen next?"
"I wonder what is going to happen in the next mission, considering that they got a fix on Cinder's position." Blake said.
"I assume that Sienna is finally going to appear again and save Cinder's ass." Coco stated.
"That's seems like a good theory, considering that these two were showed to working together, and we only saw Sienna once." Ren said.
"I still feel that she has something under her sleeve. In her introduction she was show to be someone extremely dangerous for the characters, and so far we are seeing how her forces keep losing to Atlesian army. Something is going to happen." Fox said.
"I guess you'll see in the next several minutes." B said, pressing the button, just as mission was about start, he thought to himself, "Oh boy, here we go."
