Astral's Rise Part 50: Saviors

"I had three hundred and thirty." the one would speak,

"Bullshit, like hell you did, I only had two hundred and thirty, there was no way you outpaced me by one hundred." the other would speak in anger.

The hoods from the two of them would fall off, showing two faces, one male and one female. "Well just get good scrub." He would extend his hand out as she came clawing at him in frustration more than anything.

His hand extended outward showing his chiseled and worn face. His sister matched him for looks with the only difference being the long hair and softer face. "I will bite you." She spoke out as he dropped his hand and hugged her instead.

"You said you would tell us more now, we have a five minute window, if not less, before this entire place is covered with those nasty ass creatures." Minn would speak as the four of them readied themselves.

"Oh, us, we've been tasked by someone to keep an eye on you." Proto stood his ground, if they dared to attack it would end not so well for them. He pushed back his sister to have them be ready for anything.

"I wonder if you can guess who it is?" Smiling Omaha would giggle a bit.

"Tell that asshat to bug off and go away." Nevada would speak as Hawaii points upwards. Showing off the two Sacramentum transports, and something much larger in orbit.

"Well, if you insist, if you live let us know, we won't be hard to miss." Omaha would flip Nevada a tracking device before sticking her tongue out as the two took off. Heading south.

"Now that there is one less thing to worry about, what about them?" Carolina would point to the transport shuttles and the giant moon coming into view.

"Back inside. We need to grab the others and follow those two." Nevada looked up as the moon-like object slowly grew larger. "Besides, I think luck is gonna change." he would motion the four of them to the building where they were, the transports closing in.

"Run!" Carolina shouted as the four of them took off in a sprint as the shuttles hovered on each side of them. The doors opened as the Tizzle's stood firing their plasma weapons at the four.

Carolina handed her shotgun to Minn as she blasted apart one side of the aliens. Hawaii dissected the other side with her SMG's as Nevada stopped and launched explosives onto each engine of the transports.

Once they exploded the transports crashed into the buildings nearby as the four of them ran past it. They were in a rush, how were the duo who saved them that much faster? Nevada saw the entryway of their building as the rest entered before he did. Closing the door behind him.

As they were going down the stairs Hawaii would have to ask. "Why are we siding with Airsoft and his crew, they are war criminals?"

"Nevada, come to reason, this is a terrible idea. I don't like it one bit." Carolina would hoist up Oregon as Minn grabbed Mississippi. Hawaii would help Wash get to his feet, Indy slowly lifted Utah as they all looked up to him. 

"He is the only person left on the planet giving humans hope, his networking is keeping people alive, and we don't have the resources to be here forever." Looking to the others. "Besides, I don't want to put us in a last stand type of situation unless it's absolutely necessary." He led them up the stairs to the door, hearing claws scratching at the door. Followed swiftly by a round of gunfire. 

Nevada gave the signal to hold for the rest of the team as he bursted through the door. Seeing a swarm of Sacramentum engulf the area, looking like close to one hundred combined Apparazza and Tizzles.

Opening fire they would start to drop like flies. But wait, Nevada isn't firing his gun. More and more of the fire from the mob would be upwards, as a bright silhouette would be using a pistol and taking down all of the mob. Hopping down from the roof landing on the ground creating a crater. Looking up the eyes would glow green as a dice fell to the ground. 

Turning to the mob he would launch a volley of punches, impossible to keep up with it. Everyone in front of him turned into red mist. Turning to the nine behind him, he gave them a thumbs up.

He tilted his head back to the sky. More transports were gliding in. He tossed a handful of dice onto the ground. As they rolled around objects came flooding from the sky, colliding with the ships. Each one was a giant dice. He needed them to get going so he could allow no limits on the dice.

"Thank you." Minn would speak up. Her and Washington snuck out the door, watching the commotion. Nevada rolled his eyes as Wash held the rifle in his arms.

"Thank you. All clear, we need to move yesterday so kick it in gear!" Nevada spoke out to the others as the nine of them started to move down the street. The figure would pick up the die and blow off the pistol. Lucky is just on time. Looking up, he would see a blazing blue object coming from space followed by many familiar dropships. 

The big guns have arrived as he knew the Sacramentum fleets are going to have their hands full even with the not fully powered station. Lucky would smile. Walking down the street escorting the remainder of the project to where Airsoft was, and where Astral will be.

Each Sacramentum squad tried to encounter Project Valor was diced to bits or crushed by Lucky. He knew Astral wanted more military hands on board of the shuttle and they would lead him to plenty.

Once they got to a warehouse, gunfire was pouring out of it from the focus inside as the nine of them entered. Lucky dropped his limiter. They were safe and Astral would be on his way to them. Jumping up he looked down and saw three battalions trying to rush in.

He threw a die to the ground. It rolled a two. Letting him multiply his projectiles from his pistol by two. Gunning down the first wave of Sacramentum as he landed back on the ground in front of the warehouse. He landed and posed as he got clipped in the shoulder, dashing inside to take cover with the rest of them.
