Chapter 7 First Assignment

Part 7: First Assignment

Evie is standing next to everyone as they get their debriefing from Chops. They are in a room that has a table project of a hologram of a city with multiple red dots in and around the city.

Ada comes in behind them smiling "Goodmorning everyone, i hope you're ready for today's mission." She notices Jaden rubbing his eyes yawning "Did you not get enough sleep last night?" She says, sounding annoyed.

Jaden looks at her after rubbing his eyes "You see..I did, i'm just not a morning person."

Evie lets out a slight chuckle "We all know that for sure.."

Chops clears his throat "Anyways..here's the deal today. We have a bunc-"

Dasean comes in interrupting Chops "Hey guys, sorry we were almost late...Jake decided to sleep in."

Chops sighs "That's fine..just come in an-"

Evie rushes over to Dasean "Where is he?? Also! Why didn't you tell us you were taking him somewhere?!"

Chops growls under his breath "Alright! Tha-"

Jake comes in looking at everyone "Hey guys! Jeez you guys have gotten shorter!" Everyone looks at Jake noticing that he has gotten a lot taller since they have last seen him. He has packed on a ton of muscle as well.

Evie looks at Jake "What happened to that skinny kid who first joined FATSN with me? You're almost unrecognizable it's lik-"

Chops raises his voice "Can I stop being ignored for ONE SECOND?!"

Evie looks at him "You know it's rude to interrupt people?"

Chops just stares in disbelief "But..yo-..." He sighs "Nevermind."

Dasean comes over and pats him on the back "It'll be alright. Just tell these guys what they are doing."

He nods "Right. Alright listen up!" Everyone gets quiet and listens to Chops "This city has been overrunned by Orcs, other teams have tried to stop it but failed so we are being called. They are around Mid to High Tier depending on the Orcs rank. That being said your squad should be able to handle yourselves without struggling since the ranks are around C to B, any questions?"

Leslie raises his hand "Yeah, we've been training with Jaden for a while and we don't even know his rank."

Jaden pitches in "I mean you never asked."

Leslie shrugs his shoulders "True..but what about this Jake guy? I only met him once and that's when I got here. He never trained with us."

Jake smiles "Yeah that's true, but i'm an Attack Type so just point me to where i need to go."

Xander snickers a bit "So we have a meat head on our team?" When he says that Evie elbows him in his side. "Ow! I was just joking..jeez."

"Alright then, if that's all the questions and it seems that you have answered them yourselves we will meet you on the roof the helicopter is waiting to take you to the city." Chops says as he walks up to Jake "Welcome back boy, if you ever need something just let me know."

Jake nods "Yes sir!"

Dasean stops Jake from leaving the room as everyone heads upstairs to the helicopter. He looks at Jake "Remember, don't use anything extra from what we've taught you. Only during emergencies only."

Jake nods "Got it, I won't do anything abnormal" He smiles and heads upstairs to see Evie waiting on him.

Evie looks at him "So what were you and Dasean talking about? "

Jake looks at her "Uh Nothing! We were talking about all the training we did last month!"

She walks closer towards him poking him on his chest and arms "So what exactly have you been doing to get this big? You were super skinny when I last saw you."

He laughs grabbing her arms "Stop that tickles! We gotta go anyways!" He says moving ahead of her to the top of the roof.

Evie thinks to herself "He may have gotten bigger but he's still the same.." She smiles and follows after him.

Everyone gets into the helicopter as it files off towards the city.

Meanwhile,

Dasean is walking around the base until he reaches this building with spare parts for vehicles, mech suits, and broken weapons. He walks inside and sees a short man working on a piece of metal. The man looks up at Dasean "Ah! Daseany my boy!" he wobbles over to him shaking his hand.

"Good to see you too Norman. How's Velmon?" He says he is looking around at the different unfinished projects.

He hears a female voice coming from a different room "I'm in here Dasean! I have a new gadget I want to show you!"

Dasean walks into the room that is filled with all sorts of gadgets with a desk in the corner with some cabinets.He sees a tall female elf wearing overalls "Hey Velmon, what stuff do you have today?" He picks up a crystal that is glowing with bright blue lines.

Velmon snatches it from him "Don't do that! It can explode!!"

Dasean holds his hands up "My bad!"

Velmon places the crystal down as she reaches into a cabinet where she grabs something that looks like a watch. "This is what I wanted to show you!"

Dasean takes the watch looking at it. "What is it?"

She presses a button on the side of the device "I call it a Tier Scanner, so instead of having to research and find out what tier the monster is, this can instantly tell by taking everything we have in our database. I'm currently thinking about how to make it for places other than the wrist. Maybe as glasses so you can see them while you are in combat!" She gets excited and pulls out a paper making a blueprint.

Dasean watches as he sees her drawing the schematics for a portable computer mixed with some sort of glasses. "Wow...it's crazy how you can make it that fast."

Velmon gives out a chuckle "Yeah! I feel like i was born to do this..besides this is only the rough rough draft!"

He puts the device down "We will surely use this...creature scanner or whatever you call it, but I have a question for you...since you're an Elf you were the best person i can go to about this."

Velmon looks at him as her smile fades "What exactly are you going to ask me Dasean?"

Dasean stares at her "Do you think..that humans can turn into monsters?"

The team arrives right outside the city as they see that buildings are torn down, some are burning and others seem to have been made as houses for the Orcs. They see that some humans have been held captive by the orcs.

Jake looks at the pilot "How long until we drop?" he says into the headset.

"Right now..we are just looking for a landing zone." He says as they continue to circle around the outside of the city.

They eventually land on the highway before you reach the city. Some police and military personnel are there as well. Everyone steps out of the highway and a military officer walks up to the group.

"Finally you guys showed up, they ran us out of the city and our soldiers that did have abilities are either dead or captured." He says as he shows them pictures of the Orcs, they have reddish green skin with black markings over their faces. "Here's the worst thing...these Orcs aren't normal at all..they can do this.." He shows a picture of a Orc transforming into a huge werewolf with long teeth and black claws.

Leslie's eyes widened "Wait a minute! They can turn into werewolves during the day?! But how?!"

The military officer shrugs his shoulders "Beats me but we don't have the necessary firepower to deal with these things, not even silver bullets worked on them."

"So how are we going to get into the city, I don't want to just bust in there and put the other humans in danger." Evie says getting everyone's attention.

"Well maybe we can just go directly to their leader?" Jake says shocking everyone

Xander raises his voice "Do you really think that would work?!"

Leslie stops Xander "Hold on, he may have a point. Why do you think that'll work Jake?"

"Well...i'm kind of a nerd, I play these tabletop roleplaying games, where you can.." he clears his throat "Sorry i'm getting off topic, so in these games Orcs are like they seem to be in real life. Brutish aggressors who despise any humanoid creature that isn't them, but they also love to prove that they are better than those races so i was thinking that if we challenge the leader head on, we probably would have to deal with less Orcs if we beat him." Jake says to everyone as he notices their unimpressed stares.

Xander scoffs "I just think that's a dumb idea..who would even want to risk it, let alone go toe to toe with their leader."

Jake raises his hand "Me actually, I came with the idea, plus i am the attack type." He says with a smile.

"I say let's give him a shot, it'll also give us a chance to see what he can do." Jaden says as he is fixing one of his gloves

"So..who's agreeing with my plan?" Jake says looking at everyone.

"I'm down! Let's kick some Orc ass!" Leslie says giving Jake a thumbs up

"Fine! But if you get us killed I'll haunt you for life!" Xander says with a smirk

"I already agreed with Jake." Jaden says nodding

"Like you said Jake, as long as I'm with you, you can do anything," She says patting his back.

"Alright! So I guess i'll go to the entrance of the city then! You guys follow behind me. Just in case this doesn't go as planned." Jake says walking towards the city.

The military officer sighs "These FATSN agents...so reckless.." He looks at Jake and shouts "We'll be here to extract the civilians!"

Everyone follows carefully behind Jake as they approach the entrance of the city which is now blocked off by a wall of building debris and destroyed vehicles. At Least six Orcs peers over the makeshift wall looking at Jake. They aim their weapons at him preparing to fire.

One of the Orcs snickers "Why is one weak human here...make to make itself a snack? I am getting hungry."

Jake looks up at the Orcs "No, not really I am here for one thing though..your leader."
