12:16 PM, August 17 2021. Ishiyama High, Odaiba, Japan.
The rogue IS rose from the gymnasium and began to scan the campus for its next target.
Unable to find one, the IS began to circle around the whole campus; getting a better view to scan for another target.
Scanning the west building, the IS picked up multiple life signs coming from inside the building.
The wing thrusters on the IS slid open as its targeting system marked the targets.
*DON DON DON!*
3 missiles were launched, tracking down their targets down like a pack of wolves.
*BOOM!*
All 3 missiles hit the rooftop simultaneously, rocking the whole building.
[Change]
Sprinting through the suburban streets, just outside of the school area, we can hear the damage the IS just did to the high school.
Hope the students got out of the whole mess.
“Hot Shot, it seems the whole area’s been evacuated. If you got a plan, now’s the time to let us in.”
Ratchet began to get his Saber ready as we’re getting closer and closer to the campus.
Okay, with Sideswipe having the IO Charge (Inertia Override Charge), he can’t go on and attack it alone; even if he manages to get close enough.
He’s going to need some help on planting it on the IS if we’re to stop it.
Tezla said that the IO Charge can override the IS's PIC system and shut it down; disabling its main source of flight. Basically, this whole fight depends it; seeing as how the Silverbacks in their current state can't fly.
Scourge was getting his Shockburst ready as well and Sideswipe’s off somewhere close by.
“Okay...”
I pulled out my Shockburst.
“Here’s the plan; Scourge, you and I are going in and grab that IS’s attention. Ratchet, stay back and provide support. Sideswipe, while we got the IS’s attention, you’re to jump it and plant that IO Charge. Once it goes off, we’re to bring that bitch down by any means necessary. Got it?”
“Got it.”
“Whatever you say, Boss Man.”
“You got it.”
Ratchet, Scourge and I got off of the street and entered a small ally way, this is a shortcut that some of the students use in case if they’re running late.
According to them, this’ll lead to the campus’s track and field.
But blocking our way is a fence that separates the residential area and campus.
“Huh!”
We’ve all launched ourselves up and over the fence and into the track and field.
“Oh, shit! There goes the power shed.”
Ratchet had noticed that upon getting onto the campus grounds, fiery debris littered the field that lead back to where the school’s power source once stood.
As we’re making our way to the school buildings, Sideswipe contacted me through the radio comm..
“Hot Shot, I’m picking up multiple life signs coming from the west building.”
“Oh, great. Just great! We got stragglers thrown into the mix.”
As if things can get any better; thanks with remedial lessons going on this summer, now we got some left behind students to evac.
“Alright, slight change in plans.”
I reluctantly put my Shockburst away.
“Sideswipe, you hold back. Ratchet, Scourge we’re to get the students out to safety. Come on, move!”
We’ve cleared passed the track and field and reached the south building.
As we got to the south building, my visor began picking up multiple life signs close by. Most likely they’re the students Sideswipe picked up earlier.
“Hot Shot, the students in the central courtyard.”
Ratchet readied his Saber in case if the IS comes in.
“Then let’s get in there.”
We’ve whipped around the corner and entered the court yard from the southwest entrance, in between the west and south buildings.
And there were the students, bolting towards the main building.
6, 7, 8—9 of them to be exact.
*DON!*
Upon seeing them a sound boomed through the air, coming from the top of the south building.
“Ah, shit!”
A missile is flying down towards the students.
“Ratchet, Scourge!”
We all made a mad sprint to the students, as the missile got closer and closer.
Shit! Come on, faster, faster!
*BOOM!*
The missile hit the concrete overhead that’s covering the walkway, right above the students.
Upon impact, all the students squatted down covering their heads with their arms as the overhead began to collapse from the hit it took.
With a slight bit of space in between the students and the concrete…
*DUHD!* “Du-ugh!”
*DUHD!*
*DUHD!*
At this moment, Ratchet, Scourge and I caught the falling overhead, narrowly saving the students.
“Ugh… agh!” *Duhd!* *Duhd*
“Hu-ah!” *Duhd!* *Duhd*
“Shr-rgh…” *Duhd!* *Duhd*
As we threw the overhead pieces aside the students slowly got up, looking appalled at what saved them.
But one particular student’s attempting to keep a front.
“Thanks. I thought it was over…”
The other students were brushing the dust off that got on them.
“You’re welcome. Now get your asses out of here, this entire campus is becoming a small warzone.”
*DUHN!*
““““Ugh!””””
The students collapsed on the ground from the thunderous tremor, and a huge cloud of dust was picked up beside us.
Through the dust, my visor recognized what’s in the middle of it all.
*Klunk! *Klunk.*
“Shit!”
It’s the rogue IS. Instinctively, Scourge and I pulled out our Sabers and Ratchet with his Flak Cannon, taking aim at it.
“Go on! Get the fuck out of here!”
The students then began to take off towards the main building and soon, off of the campus.
