《The Final Light》Chapter 12: What will light do
Advertisement
Before the events of what happened last chapter.
Hey, hey wake up something is not right here, damn it I thought I got rid of you, and I am awake but barely, so I stand and support myself so don’t fall and eat the floor, “sir, please be quite but we have contacts not far away” “how far away are they“ “around 2-4 blocks far” hmm 2-4 blocks eh, what should we do about this, maybe blend in with the environment that surround’s us at this moment as it is pitch black, you know with how much I hate you, you come up with some great stuff, why thank you for your words, don’t be.
I straighten up “wake everyone up and tell them to head to the far east side of the building and stay there until I give confirmation that it is safe to move, got it” I look the man straight in the eyes, making him shiver a little being worried that he might fall in what he has been tasked in doing “yes sir I will do so” he does basic greeting and goodbyes of military, greet with a salute go through what was being talked about an salute again to signify that what was being talked about ended and go on about your duties, he leave and I head for a place high up to look out for the Aku-no, I wish I had for the alternative of reading a well written book.
After walking for a bit, I found a relatively high place to sit and look out into the ghost town of the city, he was not lying that an Aku-no is not that far at all but 4-5 blocks away instead of the 2-4 blocks, there seems to be more than one as well, from what I can see there are 5 in the area you are in at this moment so I would recommend that you be careful with so call plan you have, well it is easy what I am planning or is it not.
What I have came up with is that of moving everyone at this time of night or morning I should say, to head back to the old fob from the escape route and sit there until reinforcements come in and save us from this shit hole that I wrongly called hell, although I have lost some people we have to push through. I then get a sudden and great headache that forces me to my knees, what is going on why do I have this pain in my head, it is not me trust me it has to be someone else doing that, the pain after 10 no 20 minute’s did not dissipate as it only grew stronger and stronger, I then hear the radio static and hear that they are in there position to start the plan, now with this headache of massive magnitude I still remember that without anyone knowing including me at some point had brought up a sniper to this place, me shooting it is going to be the signal.

Now this gun is chambered in (if I remember correctly) 9.76x54mm so relatively big bullet that has been set up by the masterminds of the government, fun. This bullet is around ½ longer than the normal issued bullet, so big bullet. Now I have a headache from who knows what so firing this thing is going to be hard as I have to wait for a shot, aim, breath out and hold then fire, a process a do not experience in but hey I will try none the less to do this. I lay down grab the grip and look down the scope that is magnified to be 5x,10x,15x,20x,25x configuration. I aim at the target that wish to snipe easy to say who or it, breath out hold and fire.
Now I did miss by a few meters not by half a kilometre at all, now the sound of said big gun being shot rang my ears as I forgot my earplugs and I all I will hear for around 2 minutes is ringing, I slowly get up head down from the tower and join the main body of the team but I will have to sprint my ass of to do that as climbing down from this place will take a while, but while an I doing so I see the men running past the old meet up point which is around 2 blocks away from where I am, so I am alone again or so I thought as I looked down I see the command squad there waiting for me.
When I finally got down from the tower or I what I liked to call one, I head to the main courtyard going fast downstairs and going cool laid man through walls that are easy to go though and regretting it when I did it for the 2nd time and fell into a hole leading down 2 floors AKA to the main floor. So, I fall to the main floor or ground floor, and get up slowly as possible as fucking Jesus that hurts, definitely not like the movies.
When I get I head to main courtyard I open the main door to it to see Kimber and the 3 other guys in the unit “well sir, I hoped you did not get that hurt from that fall you had” I look at him seeing he has a big old grin on his face, I laugh “why thanks Kimber for the reassurance you have given me” he starts to chuckle a little “now what’s the problem sir we are alone and we have to regroup with the others what do we do” said Second Class Pvt (SP) Lich the main radio operator “well there is a way to go through the tunnels underground and head to the FOB that way” said First Class Pvt Winters the secondary operator for the radio “that sure is an idea but I don’t want to take that chance with the captain here, we lose him we are stuck here I hope you know that” said Second Class Jones the geolocator/pathfinder of the team.

These ideas are good to get us out of here, I would go with Winters idea of escape, “if we go by tunnel to the FOB how dangerous is it Jones” he sits there thinks for a little, now the tunnels are a underground route through out the whole of the city now why did we not take this option and instead walked well let me say this welding is one hell of a job. “I’d say somewhat dangerous as some of the routes would be collapsed due to the lack of maintenance required to keep them from not collapsing, so it would be easy to get trapped” ok so if we were to do that we would be risking quite a lot to get to the FOB, it is still dark out at the moment.
“Why don’t we go by foot first then head into the tunnels when the light comes out as we do blend in don’t we” Jones looks at me, I bet he is thinks damn it why did I not come up with that, “wow sir I did not know you could read minds” wait don’t tell me he was already thing of it. “Well what else can we do zip across the way is bad as none of us can shoot a sniper properly and walking and blending in the whole way is a bad idea as well as the sun is a thing, so the tunnels and walking is an idea” I make myself sound to smart sometimes I hate it.
“Vote for yes or no I vote yes great idea” said Lich with both Kimber and Jones looking at him with somewhat of disappointment, you cannot tell if they look at him in disappointment can you, I wish you had never come into existence. We voted yes when we did the vote so off we go on an adventure with command squad how fun.
“Ok we will all meet at the most east door available to us I don’t want to use the same door as we used to get the others out, copy?” “Copy that sir” and off went Winters and Jones to search “Kimber, me, you and lich will stand on lookout for the other two I want you to watch the south, lich north and I will watch west, copy?” “Aye, aye sir we got it’ said lich “Copy that” said Kimber and they both headed to posts the thought suitable for them to watch.
After a good 5 minutes of Winters and Jones searching for a door they found one that would help us not walk as much as I have expected us to do, it is around 350 meters of walking compared to the 560 meters of walking I was expecting to have done but thank God I have these guys with me on this otherwise I would be lost if didn’t have them. Now that has been solved and they reoperated that we could start going on the move to the FOB “alright consider that I am facing the main way that the target was spotted from I need 1 of you to come and set up watch here in my stead, copy?” “copy that sir, I would recommend sending Lich there to watch” “Lich you fine with that” “yes sir I would be fine with such a thing, I will notice anything out of place if need be” “good, head to my location it is a reasonable location to find” “copy that on my way now sir” now that I wait for Lich to come all that comes over the radio is banter and that is it I want to scold them but I don’t want to also give away our location as well by doing said yelling and scolding.
“Sir I am here and ready to take your place” “holy shit, Lich do not scare me like that I could have yelled contact and fuck us all and my GOD! You are one fast person” “my skills of being a radioman sir got to be quick a nimble to get the radio equipment to places that is needed” that is fair the radio is not light so he would be fast “ok what I want you to watch is that area there in between the corner store there and the book shop, got it” “yes sir” I head down the stair’s near where the position was and headed to others location, you know you may be the most dumb person i have ever seen, why………… oh that’s why, I yelled at Lich, Fuck.
“Contact coming it’s on alert” “Copy that Lich stay there and make sure it does not come this way” “well sir it is coming this way very fucking fast, so we have hurry” Oh my god, I am dumb. “Ok, Lich me and you have to move fast to the tunnel, Kimber, Winters and Jones move it to the tunnel got it and wait for us to get there” “Copy” said by all. When I got up I saw Lich already by my side which is fair as I did not get that far from the lookout “got everything” “yep, all I need is with me, arms, legs, and private parts all here and well equipment as well” “good we have to make runner”

The Girl with Scales and a Sword
This is the story of a girl who ends up with scales and a sword. Yup. There you have it folks. Slice of Life is the key intended genre. This is literally going to be a running commentary of a girls life, especially as it relates to adventure and action This is going to be a continuous work, as I intend it to be a side project while I work on other books more decidedly, and I intend to rework chapters often, because I want this both to be a break from other titles, and a learning experience. I'm going to be trying to get a lot of people to comment on chapters so I can grow as a writer. So if you want to read, please do! and comment if you feel generous. Just keep in mind, releases will likely be veeeeery far apart. (Note: I try to put out a chapter a month, though that doesn't always happen depending on school, work, and generally how well I'm doing, energy-wise)
