"I will died fighting and never will resolve to regrets, i have lived to the fullest"
- Juliet Sierra, Alpha Sentinel
It was the second night of the new moon, the encampment was dark. A shadow has sneak into the enemies tent, this one was the second tent, that Juliet search for the deployment information of the enemies. The west army is too fast moving the mobilization was almost seamless, there has to be a reason, a new inventions or a mole at the east army.
Juliet is wearing a high grade pseudo round nites armor, a high grade round nites weapon glove and a linking combat monocle. A round nites armor is a combat suit that attached with blocks of round nites these nanites could be molded to cover the whole body as a nanites armor. The weapon glove is a glove that contains round nites with element distribution, which mean it can be shaped as any weapon a blade, a sword and even a spear that can be elementally enchanted according to the zero nites element a compiler has. The monocle is attached to the side of the head align with the right eyes, these monocle has night vision, receiver, transceiver, and signal enhancer, it also can linked into a multiple network of communications.
A sirens has been sounded, Juliet is signaling her slave nites, she runs out the tent flaps a follow spot lamp has picked up on her movements. 2 enemies compiler trying to cut her escapes, she form a blade with lightning enchant to break the barricade. Both of them being stunned after being hacked down, another 3 throwing a grenade, she jumps to the edge of the camp followed by a big shadow. When the shadows converge she grabs hold and the 3 grenades tumble and went boom. The shadow has picked her and jumps into the thick jungle.
Juliet slave nites is a black panther, she is an alpha sentinel of the east army. Sentinel was an elites master compiler that is trained to do a black operations, sometimes an elimination or retrieval of object. This was not the first time she has a job behind the enemy lines, she has been on the field for 5 years. She has been trained since 10 years old by the military since the nanowars started 8 years ago. She is 18 years old, she was put into the wars at the age of 13th at the level master class mid grade. Military training takes the course of a nanoweap, she can make use of any weapon imagine. Her slave nites is as stealth as her in the art of killings, she was an assassin.
Hiding in the shroud of the forest she manage to avoid the chase, but apparently she failed the mission, since no information can be retrieve from the enemy camp. But one thing that she knows a by say order is limited, her position to be found is rare. To one conclusions only, the east army has a mole planted by the west at high ranks. With that she contacted via the network, she take out two ball of round nites molded as 2 throwing knife imbue it with lightning element. Throwing it to two west army search party, after the knife pierced they both was stunned. She continue the extraction to fall back to the home base.
A barrage of shock-wave start to bombard the border, trying to find a less noticed passage Juliet sneaking through the back roads and small patch. "I have to watch out for that wave compiler". A wave compiler is a type of nanoweap that can shoot out a massive ray of magnetic force fields that in contact of the target will be self destruct, making it almost like a cannon. Juliet have these ability but the wave is light, mostly only too stun and throwing the enemy flying. Three drones fly by, Juliet is carefully blending to the forest infusing a cool down technique to alter her round nites armor to avoid heat detection. Communication is done using the nanites network using the monocle, since nanites has been perfected to the finest communication transceiver and receiver, and can modulates frequency to avoid hacking, smartphones and other frequency device is obsolete since in the initial war all of these wares has proven a liability because with advancement of nanites computing precision, no codes cant be solved and no frequency you can hide its all in plain sight so the communication trends shifted. Reaching the front lines, Juliet will have to sprint her way, 800 meters "Are you ready Jack?" She is asking her panther. Putting a cover of armor from the head of her panther to the bottom near the tail, putting 4 animal gloves in all of the panther claws. Placing her hand on the forehead of the panther the round nites on the armor begin to melt forming an armor and steel claws. The head of the panther is covered with a helm. The same goes with her armor, and in moments they are running through the bomb pits and the wreckage of the front lines, dodging a few follow light. Missing some concentration they has been detected, a set of wave bombardment, while 2 drones on to them. Juliet climb the panther's back twirling while jumping she shoot the 2 drones with a light wave. The blast caught a follow light of the enemies 200 meters left. A bomb wave drops near her, ears ringing. An injury has been placed on her back a pieces of metal has stab her in the back. Taking cover in a near bomb pit, she pull the piece of metal, the flesh sew the gap with nanites healing, a read on the monocle nanites casualties 15%. Core containment is yellow. Her vitality just down 15% "Compensate core engine!". It reads on the monocle compensating, vitality restore, shield is down 7,5%, remote range is down 7,5%, and zero nites at maximum. The core engine is converting nanites that function as structuring the weapon and the communication ability while enforcing the structuring nanites.
Making three clay-more mine from three round nites as big as a fist, modulating it with the lightning element. It begins to beat, nodding to jack she throws 3 beating clay-more mine to the air while jumping to the other side. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Three big blinding boom with projectile raining the sky. It gives a break that she needed to sprint for 5 secs before a barrage of another bomb-wave start. She is barely make it when the infantry of west army unit cover her with another barrage of bomb-wave.
"Good to have you back Ms.Sierra, any wound that needs tending?" Said the army man. "Give me water!" She said.
Taking the water she walk to the intelligence tent. "You guys really screw up! I got bogey all over my ass under five minutes after i walked into the TOA (Target Operation Area)" She is very pissed.
"Squeeze the mole, then tell me who is that piece of shit!" Then she walked to the infirmary.
In the morning, "Ms.Sierra the captain is requesting a word" a lieutenant rank army man delivering message standing outside her tent. After preparing she got out, "stay out of my tent, or my slave will chew your face" she said to the man guarding the tent. "Yes miss!" The soldier said jittery. Since Juliet is not a formal military, she is a special infiltration unit assign for black ops.
"Do you called for me sir?" As she entered the captain tent. "Ah yes! Miss Sierra, care to explained about last night?" Said the captain. Three other man was also there, they seems in the middle of some kind of battle discussion when she barge in. She explained the mission debrief, as the captain taking notes, about it. "Lieutenant! Please send this sealed letter to the general" a lieutenant taking the letter and going as ordered. "I'm afraid my hands is full at the moment, but i would recommended you to recuperate at your tent Miss Sierra" and she flip the flap and go. On the way she notice 3 trucks just stop, with it about 100 man combine jump down and taking a lines. "Falls in falls in hurry!" The master sergeant ordering.
A new recruit, she is smirking lighting a cigarettes "new livestock for the fire.." she said softly.
On the afternoon the noon bomb wave war is starting, all the new recruit is stationed at the outer walls, it was the tradition in the front lines as new soldiers need to get used to the banging and the tremors. At sundown they all gathered again at the fields, some of them was unable to hear straight, some are to afraid of standing up, and some will be sent home for mentally unfit. The front lines are as tough as it could be, Juliet just remembering at 13th years old she was sent here. It was 5 years ago, she got a couple of chance to get a transfers to the mid defense unit, about a couple of hills to the west as the main infiltration unit is mainly positioned, but she has a very strict rules about no deeds got unpunished, and you will earn respect not by using ranks. She stay and mended this front lines, assassinate, blowing up things and intelligence gathering. Every soldier respect her here, and she knows most of them.
She is heading to the hand to hand combat training area, a list of name is posted there number 1: Juliet Sierra, she is the number one hand to hand combat expert, no one can beat her. Everybody nods to here as they meet eyes, some of them smiles. Yes this is her natural habitat, she is normal in this world.
That night the bombardment just stop around midnight, a new volley usually drops randomly, since it was the enemy tactic to get the soldier tired for not getting a rest, yeah if you are a greenhorn soldier like the new recruits. Juliet sleeps soundly after sipping a bottle of whiskey. She was dreaming her about her family on the capital city, she is a bastard daughter of a military officer. Her mother was a non comp low workers that has been coerced to works in her fathers mansion, over a debt. They involvement is founded out by the madame of the family, and her mother is exile. After knowing that he had a daughter, his father secretly providing her till she was recruited by the military, she was a stand alone with secret military family net. In that material she was made a secret special unit, a normal officers in the military will make an officer of his offspring also. To keep the power structure in the government, as the regulation is a one child policy for every couple, nanites will prevent sickness and limb failure. And extreme old age is common birth control is very strict to prevent over populated. Every now and there she always write a letter to her mom, she is saver in the front line than facing all the jackals and hyenas back home. She know as long she is in service her mother will be well taken care of by the military, as a leverage so she would not defects to the other side.
A riot has broke out in after midnight the camp is under invasion, Juliet wake up armoring her self, jack and then fly out of the tent. A dozen of giant bears is mauling the soldier, the audacity of this bear is weird, no master compiler to be seen yet this bear were attacking in pattern. Her job is to find the master compiler in control and assassinate it, to relieve the pressure of the camp. One giant bear is enough to take down a couple dozen soldiers on the structuring class level. A high grade semi master only can manage 3 slave at most, by a dozen of these monsters it has to be at least 5 master compiler of semi master level class at high grade. She splits up the search with Jack, starting at the camp parameters the far sight of the enemies camp. Bomb pits, the trench, the hills, even she spotted some drones flying by, but no master compiler is around. Not until she figure it out seeing how strange the drones where.
"Attacked the drones!! Its their command units!!" Some of the soldier aiming all of their light wave at the drones. Juliet is taking down drones, dozens of them where 1 taken down the other will takes its place in the formations. Suddenly a sharp feelings came from Jack it was pinned down by one of the giant bear, jumping to the back of the bear thrusting the blade imbued with lightning Juliet slam it in. The bear wailed in pain, shaking her to lose grip, when the pinned loosen Jack leaped and taken down the bear. Jamming a lightning blade to the bear heart, Juliet founded a small engine version of super cores is implanted in the bear heart. "WELL THIS IS NEW!" She figures it out that the drones is a new technology of and unmanned control unit using bear slave as nanoweap. Not long after that the enemies bomb-wave happens and this time the were mobile and they are moving closing the range, without hesitate she alarmed "FALLBACK!! FALLBACK!!" As she is pulling out. BOOM! She is thrown away by the blast and all was blurry as her head was hit by something hard. Jack is breathing hard by her side, like his already dead and a soldier grab her by the collar, pulling her to a truck. Jack is left on the field, farther and farther away until the nanites links can't feels it anymore.
A roar of a Panther was heard "WaWaummm", and another BOOM!
As everything went dark, Juliet called "Nooo!! Jack.."
That fort in the front lines is the first of many unmanned* test by the countries and in 10 years it will reach a climax where every countries use nanites as nanoweap and which triggers Richard Cumolo to sets the rules back to nature hands where the nanites will be bonded through evolution.
