Arknights: Starsfall I

Chapter 34

"Front towards enemy"

"Oh sweet creator what the hell is that..." A Reunion member muttered. Although some, like a caster that was near him, couldn't see it, he was slack jawed and horrified behind the mask that made up the Reunion's forces. The same caster scoffed at him, "What? What are you looking at? You look stupid like that," She shakes her head and flicks the Reunion soldier in the head. He just kept looking.

However there was a butcher nearby who also began to point, muttering something behind that mask. The Caster was getting annoyed, and was very much ready to hit him too, till suddenly the base was alight. Turning behind her, she now looked for herself and was now in as much shock, if not petrified, at what she was seeing for herself.

"Oh... now I understand..." They looked at what appeared to be a catastrophe approaching, a shower of angry, yellow lights flinging out from some source and showering towards the ground.

Some of them got close to the base, and it caused everybody to begin running and retreating. The Reunion members began to raise the alarm and take cover.

But for the Rangers, they just prepared their Terran companions for a show. "Oh hell yeah! We got the A-oh-D on our side!" Dunn cheered.

"Take cover y'all!"

Ramirez got near Kroos and Exusiai, "Well girls, you ready?'

"Mr. Ramirez," Kroos began, still aiming at some Reunion members, "What did you make us do?" He gave her a hearty pat on her back, and just pointed forward, "You'll see, and listen to the radio." Exusiai turned to watch the giant object in the sky drop more of those lights. It was forcing the Reunion members into the buildings that surrounded the base.

"Be advised, Foxtrot Tango dash Bravo of Hunter 2-1 is requesting a Precision strike on these coordinates, confirmed hostile personnel in each building." Another voice, a gruff, angry voice pierced the radio. It sounded vaguely female. "All Personnel, get your masks on, get ready for firing."

"Another flying weapon of theirs?" Ch'en began to mutter. The Dokutah held his hands in his pockets. The Cameras of each helmet that wasn't Hunter 2-1 began to face towards a giant flying craft. "Earth sure is... obsessed with weapons that fly, huh?"

"It looks like such a devastating weapon too," Mostima muttered to the Dokutah, "They would probably beat me if I wasn't careful." That admission worried him. He turned back to focus on the screen.

"Load 155mm M982 Excalibur rounds, load 30mm HE-I, load the 76mm Otomatic gun, HEFS rounds. Ready backside Missile pod, load Hellfire." Exusiai did her best to observe the thing, now marveling at its size in the sky.

The giant craft began to enter a vulture-like technique, circling the base in the air as if it were a carcass that the hungry vulture was all too ready to dive and sweep up once given the chance. "Turn the aircraft slightly to the optimal firing angle. Good," the plane began to turn, a very light angle.

"Angle achieved. Hunter 2-1, take cover," Ramirez began to chuckle. That made Exusiai look at him in concern. "Guns... guns... guns... On the WAY!" Exusiai saw flashes come from the thing and she began to take cover under some rocks, OKAY! She loudly thought, NOW I SEE.

And just like what it was with the A-10 gun run, the area and buildings began to be saturated in a storm of explosions that made the buildings explode and implode on themselves. The Operators in the RIIC winced and felt more immeasurable shock rush through them.

"...well damn," Swire began, "that's a way to destroy a base..." Ch'en was still and very, very quiet. Imagine that that could do if it turned on us...

The tigress noticed her shock and silence. She'd rather not try and poke her rival too much. Hoshiguma however, was wondering, how could Earth's cities even resist a potent creation like that?
