Location: Brisked Bear

It was snowfall again, with green snowflakes radiating the surrounding area. Amidst the fallen debris and wreckage, there were small shacks built by the remaining survivors before they too were taken by "them". Lots upon lots of these creatures are seen, but they all have dispersed and gone out into multiple islands to continue their ever-so-inscrutable goals.

"Hooo... Welp, guess I gotta look for somethin' to eat.." a boy said, his eyes slowly adjusting to the darkness as he woke up from his "bed", made from what seemed to be a pile of concrete bags. He looks down and wears his sandals, putting one foot at a time. Standing up, he walks over to a broken and rusty drawer infested by wood-boring beetles, where opening it reveals a stained grey shirt and a black hoodie, covering what seems to be a bouquet of white flowers and a black bullpup stock.

...

Turning on the flashlight as it makes a clicking sound, the boy trekked the wrecked buildings, still yawning as he looks on.

"Ahh... there's nothin' there, also that.... and that too..." he said, sighing as he continued.

There were so many guts and blood thrown around the city, though it never bothered him given he's used to seeing them on live television ever since the very first invasion. Though he is still disgusted by them given he's looking for food and not some edgy painting made by a serial killer- other rather... serial killers...

"The pizza was good, wish I could find 'nother jackpot like tha-"

A noise broke out of his out-loud monologue, he pulls out a modified P90 from his hip, puts the dial on full-auto, and start to **** the charging handle before letting go, the sound of metal echoing as he approaches the noise. He places his cheek on the stock, his grip unwavering as he trained his sights on whoever's going on to be on the other end of the barrel.

"Ah, shit... Here we go again..."

 

[thelegend27]

"We go to America I guess.." he said, as he points towards its location

"Ah yes America former land of the free that's not a bad place to land." said Rizzuto.

Noah nodded as she adjusted the controls.

"The trip will take two hour or so, if you want you can go rest, maybe check some other compartment in search of something useful" The girl said

[Backbackback]

The three fled, leaving the monster alone as Noah piloted the plane. Soaring into the sky as they make contact with the clouds...

Spoiler: A new perspective...

A few hours before.....

Spoiler: A new perspective...

The Fallen Falcon Henosis headquarters, a bustling city full of survivors and filled to the brim of capable and independent people, away from the harm of Waterboarders, is a last bastion to those willing to go there.

Inside, many were sleeping, tired from the everyday hunting for any Insider and Waterboarder alike. Some were still working, with the others arriving at their night shift, one of them being a blue-haired woman...

"Hey, seems like you're busy again," she said, walking towards a room where she is met with a young-looking man.
"Well... there seems to be some Waterboarder activity at Brisked Bear.." the man said, looking at her as he stares at multiple TV/VHRs lined up with each other, showing some sort of grid map, with coordinates and a crosshair highlighting the supposed area... As they took a while to analyze the data, there was a huge spike in activity within seconds...

"You two, always finding an excuse to work... aren't you?" an old man's voice spoke out, as the sound of some metal cane clinking on the marble tiles.

"Mr. Efrain, we-"the old man interrupted the girl's words with a wag of his finger.

"No need, Paige Foster, there's no need for you to take on this mission. You are needed here more than him. Soma will go; you will stay and go for the lookout." he said.

"Got it.." Soma said, nodding as he prepares himself...

(@KingEzran @InfiniteDay, It's your turn)

 

[thelegend27]

(I'm going to sleep)

 

[Backbackback]

(I'm going to sleep)

(Yeah, I'm just waiting for @InfiniteDay and @KingEzran to respond)

 

[Lou_change]

(Given I don’t have a discord and am currently on mobile I am going to ask here does Villum just happen to be near where group 1 lands or do I wait until the fourth page)

 

[InfiniteDay]

(@KingEzran @InfiniteDay, It's your turn)

The door to the room opens with a creak, a suit of armour hastens into the room, his boots clanging with the floor as he hurriedly stepped into the brightened room, monitors illuminating the panoplies' black padding.

The man quickly shuts the door and begins to speak, "I came as soon as I heard an activity spike, is-", the man stopped as he realised he had walked in on a conversation.

"Am I intruding on something?"

(Still thinking about it. Just woke up lol)

"Oh, right on time, Sam." Paige said, turning her head as Mr. Efrain leaves the room to go somewhere else.
"We've just sent Soma to deal with the usual. Are you on your night shift?"

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(Some thoughts to fill in the story)

Noah continued driving calmly looking at the fuel gauges from time to time and that, keeping an eye on the road but also thoughtful about her future, for her as it was different, her options were scarcer even more than most survivors, well that happens for trying to be unique and have some sociality, after all gaining awareness leads to curiosity which can be bad sometimes although she was sure that boredom and stupidity is something that affects every species in the universe.

She laughed a little in low voice by that last thoughts.

"Not now, they look like good people, maybe a week or two, then I'm gone" She thought in her mind.

 

[InfiniteDay]

"Oh, right on time, Sam." Paige said, turning her head as Mr. Efrain leaves the room to go somewhere else.
"We've just sent Soma to deal with the usual. Are you on your night shift?"

"I feel like I'm always on my night shift..." Sam grumbled as he pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Brisked Bear, was it..." Sam said curiously, his voice trailing off.

"How big of a spike are we talking?"

 

[Backbackback]

"I feel like I'm always on my night shift..." Sam grumbled as he pulled up a chair and sat down.

Paige chuckled as she caressed he hair.

"Brisked Bear, was it..." Sam said curiously, his voice trailing off.

"How big of a spike are we talking?"

"Not like the usual, around a 40 to 60% increase by the first manifestation." she explained, pressing a button on her remote, showing Brisked Bear as she continued pressing to zoom in.

 

[InfiniteDay]

"Not like the usual, around a 40 to 60% increase by the first manifestation." she explained, pressing a button on her remote, showing Brisked Bear as she continued pressing to zoom in.

"Think it could be a couple of Contraband users? Outbursts don't happen unless someone or something is drawing some big attention," Sam said as pulled out a chair from a nearby table and sat down.

 

[Backbackback]

"Think it could be a couple of Contraband users? Outbursts don't happen unless someone or something is drawing some big attention," Sam said as pulled out a chair from a nearby table and sat down.

"Annddd that's why Soma is checking it out for us... But yeah, I guess I do agree with that." she said, taking out a bag of chips to eat.
"Guess you could patrol the area, Tessa's probably in her cave, go give her a visit if you can. Say that Ms Foster is in need of assistance."

 

[InfiniteDay]

"Guess you could patrol the area, Tessa's probably in her cave, go give her a visit if you can. Say that Ms Foster is in need of assistance."

"Guard duty, how original." Sam grumbled as he got out of his chair.

Just before as he held open to the door, he turned around and faced Soma.

"Don't go dying Soma, ya hear? No mourners, no funerals," he said in his... unique way of saying goodbye.

 

[Backbackback]

"Don't go dying Soma, ya hear? No mourners, no funerals," he said in his... unique way of saying goodbye.

"Yeah.. yeah... I ain't gonna die, save them funerals for the monsters." Soma said in the distance, disappearing as he teleported somewhere else.

 

[InfiniteDay]

"Yeah.. yeah... I ain't gonna die, save them funerals for the monsters." Soma said in the distance, disappearing as he teleported somewhere else.

"Andddd there he goes..." Sam let out a chuckle before exiting the room, closing the door with a slam.

"Now, to find that recluse..." Sam thought as he walked down the winding hallways of the HQ.

 

[Backbackback]

Dene's stomach grumbled as his hunger compels him to find any food on the plane. Luckily, there are MREs that, although somewhat expired, are still very much edible.
"Hey guys... Found some uhh, food here... Check this out.." he said as began eating one of them, sharing the other with Rizzuto.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"That's great, I would like the autopilot of this to work but since there is no control tower that is active, not counting the possible ones that are hidden, it is Impossible" Noah said to herself

 

[Backbackback]

"That's great, I would like the autopilot of this to work but since there is no control tower that is active, not counting the possible ones that are hidden, it is Impossible" Noah said to herself

"Rizutto can just feed you, y'know? Still on the lookout job here."

 

[thelegend27]

"Rizutto can just feed you, y'know? Still on the lookout job here."

"Here" Rizzuto said as he got a spoonful of this vegan lasagna MRE he found on the plane with dene and tried to spoon-feed Noah.

 

[KingEzran]

"Andddd there he goes..." Sam let out a chuckle before exiting the room, closing the door with a slam.

"Now, to find that recluse..." Sam thought as he walked down the winding hallways of the HQ.

Tessa was just heading out of a room within the HQ. She had a rather relaxed demeanor. Her long, dark hair hung from her 5'9" frame. She had a pair of goggles above her eyebrows, a backpack, and casual clothes. She looked as if she was about to leave the building.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"Rizutto can just feed you, y'know? Still on the lookout job here."

"Here" Rizzuto said as he got a spoonful of this vegan lasagna MRE he found on the plane with dene and tried to spoon-feed Noah.

She ate before answering

"Are you two trying to cheer me up?" She said with a frown

 

[thelegend27]

She ate before answering

"Are you two trying to cheer me up?" She said with a frown

"Miss if I were trying to cheer you up, we would have been having a night on the town going to a bar or a casino and living life to the fullest instead were in a plan eating vegan lasagna out of MRE's." said Rizzuto.

 

[Backbackback]

"Miss if I were trying to cheer you up, we would have been having a night on the town going to a bar or a casino and living life to the fullest instead were in a plan eating vegan lasagna out of MRE's." said Rizzuto.

"What he said. There ain't a single thing about cheering up. I mean, my leg's busted. Would you call that cheering up?"

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"What he said. There ain't a single thing about cheering up. I mean, my leg's busted. Would you call that cheering up?"

Noah mentally reproached herself, there were still several things she didn't understand about humans.

"Well ok, first things first, try to see if you can find a First Aid Kit in this place, to see if it have something useful for your broken leg" She replied

 

[thelegend27]

Noah mentally reproached herself, there were still several things she didn't understand about humans.

"Well ok, first things first, try to see if you can find a First Aid Kit in this place, to see if it have something useful for your broken leg" She replied

As she said that Rizzuto looked under his seat and found first aid kit left open filled with bandages medicine, he picked it up and handed it to Dene and said, "Here fix yourself up the best you can with whatever you find in this."

 

[Backbackback]

As she said that Rizzuto looked under his seat and found first aid kit left open filled with bandages medicine, he picked it up and handed it to Dene and said, "Here fix yourself up the best you can with whatever you find in this."

Dene repaired his legs as he wraps them in cloth, bandaging the damaged and bruised parts of his legs. Painful as it is, he is used to him getting hurt by those monsters. But there's something that slightly bugs him about the last one they met and seems to act like a human. He then glanced over to Noah and think to himself if she could be one of them, but he brushes it off... There was no way she is a monster now that she'd helped them escape, would she?

Meanwhile...

Atop the sky, a lone man was seen floating, or at least... seems to be floating as he's held up by a pair of birds, looking like wings as he watches over the land. It was Soma, flying across the country when he suddenly sees a silhouette of a plane. Using one of his birds, he sends them to investigate who are the passengers, seeing if they're a Waterboarder or not.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"Well, guys we are almost reaching this moderate rate we will be on the ground in 30 minutes or less, what worries me is the noise we will make when landing, not just the monsters that are the only ones that go around, I'm sure that must exist groups of survivors who will try to kill us for our things" The girl says

In a distance, Noah could see some birds perched on the plane...

"Well, if they if any survivors try to kill us will just have to kill them first." said Rizzuto checking his Glocks to see how many bullets he had left.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

In a distance, Noah could see some birds perched on the plane...

"What the hell" the girl said before asking.

"Do you two see those Birds?"

 

[Backbackback]

"Well, if they if any survivors try to kill us will just have to kill them first." said Rizzuto checking his Glocks to see how many bullets he had left.

"That kinda doesn't make any sense. Why would you want to kill people off if these damn monsters are killing our kind?" Dene said.

 

[thelegend27]

"That kinda doesn't make any sense. Why would you want to kill people off if these damn monsters are killing our kind?" Dene said.

"Come on Dene you should know by now that even in the worst apocalypse ever mankind would still find a way to **** each other over I'm not saying we should just kill random people all I'm saying is if they shoot first and miss, the next shot will be mine and I'll be aiming to kill." said Rizzuto.

 

[thelegend27]

"What the hell" the girl said before asking.

"Do you two see those Birds?"

"What do you mean by Birds?" asked Rizzuto confused.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Noah keeps looking at the birds, something feels terribly wrong about them, they were getting closer to their destination to land in a few minutes the plane will be visible so it would be good for them to be attentive.

"rrg in a few moments we will be visible from the ground to any eye that is seeing the sky and these birds feel that they are looking at us"

 

[Backbackback]

"Come on Dene you should know by now that even in the worst apocalypse ever mankind would still find a way to **** each other over I'm not saying we should just kill random people all I'm saying is if they shoot first and miss, the next shot will be mine and I'll be aiming to kill." said Rizzuto.

"I ain't stupid, I know about that. But I mea-"
Dene looked at the birds perched.

"What the hell" the girl said before asking.

"Do you two see those Birds?"

"Yo, Rizzuto. Something's there.... hand me one of your guns" he said.

"What do you mean by Birds?" asked Rizzuto confused.

"I- I detect somethin' over there. It's a dude floatin' in the sky!"

Soma turns his head to see the three of them in the plane, hearing their conversation.

Back in the headquarters...

"Hey Paige, I see three people in a plane over here..."

A voice spoke out in the girl's transmission device. She goes to tune it on...

"Okay??" Paige said, confused

"Tell Sam to give them a nice and warm welcome.." Soma said as he holds out his hand.

Noah keeps looking at the birds, something feels terribly wrong about them, they were getting closer to their destination to land in a few minutes the plane will be visible so it would be good for them to be attentive.

"rrg in a few moments we will be visible from the ground to any eye that is seeing the sky and these birds feel that they are looking at us"

Noah sees a man floating in the sky, looking at them as one of his hand is held out.

Suddenly, the plane began to change its course, heading towards America as she could see the land when, momentarily ago, it was the clouds...

"That... should settle those people... Now onto the main course..."

 

[thelegend27]

"Yo, Rizzuto. Something's there.... hand me one of your guns" he said.

"Here catch" said Rizzuto as he tossed one of his guns over to dene he then said, "just so you know I'm goanna need that back later."

 

[Backbackback]

"Here catch" said Rizzuto as he tossed one of his guns over to dene he then said, "just so you know I'm goanna need that back later."

"I know, but-"
Dene suddenly felt as if they'd warped, with a little delay from his perspective...
"The hell was that, Noah?"

 

[thelegend27]

"Noah what's going on are we being attacked?" asked Rizzuto.
