The War That Transcends Timelines! 117 Absolute Defence! Part 2

Location: Motherbase

POV: Kyle

1 hour has pa.s.sed since the start of the attack, the alarms still blaring, ''Marshall... The offensive was a total disaster, all 5550 men have perished, the enemy is currently advancing at a rapid pace, only 10 Strongholds stand between the enemy and the entrance to the Motherbase, although these are SS grade, fitted with the heaviest of weaponry, platted with steel while also boasting the most experienced soldiers manning it... It is estimated they'll last 15 minutes at most. The soldiers know, but their morale hasn't lowered one bit, instead, the Red skulls have been boasting their morale, stating 'they can finally see some action' '' The comms officer stated before continuing, ''Due to the rapid advance we were only able to evacuate 80% of the civilians before closing the main gates, we are deeply sorry. But on a side note, the entire army for the defence of the Motherbase has been successfully mobilised! 2.5 Million Black Skulls, 850.000 Gold Skulls, 10.000 Red Skulls, With auxiliary white skulls doing the logistics.''

I looked at the report while smoking my cigar, my mask still on my face, my presence was quite overbearing for the poor radioman, ''Good.'' I just replied before heading towards my private quarters, as there were still 4 hours for the train trip to end to finally reach the very edge of the complex.

'Where is Zero?' I ask myself as I looked out the window, just artificial lights and concrete could be seen, 'This enemy, could it be the people from the American continent? Or are they also from the Union?' Many thoughts go through my mind as I contemplate on the next course of action, ''Just a normal A5 Kobe Strip Steak, with a side dish of salat and potatoes.'' I ordered the chef through the intercom system, less than 15 minutes later did the Dish arrive at my cabin, I thanked the waiter and started eating while also checking the circuit board again, 'It seems they last longer than estimated, 4 out of the 10 SS strongholds are still standing,' I remarked as I continued with my meal.

Time: 3rd of April

Location: Secret Police HQ

POV: Zero

I stumble through the may tunnels with my wounds making my way to the HQ, only after half an hour did I arrive at the outer ring, I shouted for help before collapsing onto my knees, 4 agents stationed there came out recognizing that voice, they were baffled seeing me collapsed on the ground, but they were quick to act and helped me to the medic bay at the 2nd ring, after applying emergency bandages did they finally relax, ''Ge...t me... a...clip...boa...rd...'' I got out with lots of pain, the other agents reacted quickly and got me 2 clipboards, they signalled they'll try to write what I wanted to say, with lots of pain and difficulty did I manage to get the details on how to fight these enemies and what they are, after which I lost consciousness, 2 hours pa.s.s and the medicines already are working causing me to be able to stand up without a lot of pain, but I noticed something odd, it was eerily silent in the HQ's 2nd ring, the inner ring is soundproofed so they could all be in there.

I walk up to the room opening a secret compartment which allows me to hear what's going on inside, ''WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH AGENT ALPHA AND DELTA!'' 6 other agents aimed their weapons at the unknown figures, it seems the standoff just happened, 'Agent Alpha and Delta were with me on the mission...' I a.n.a.lysed, 'Don't tell me!' I exclaimed but before I could react 2 agents fell down as another man appeared behind them with 2 daggers stabbing through their hearts, ''s.h.i.+T!'' One agent exclaimed losing his cool, ''We must protect our Commander...'' another agent whispered as he a.n.a.lysed the situation, ''Mere Humans, don't fret, submit to us and we will spare your miserable lives!'' The person looking like agent Delta shouted, looks of disdain showed on their faces, from all people, they are the epitome of loyal to the Marshall, this was blatant disrespect to their beliefs. ''Tactic 7... now!'' Agent Echo shouted, 3 agents, ran around the table to engage the enemy while agent Echo ran to switch, the other 3 knew they couldn't allow him to reach the switch.

The enemy that stabbed the two agents flickered and appeared right behind agent Echo, stabbing in his heart, but it was all a diversion, as the agent that was supposed to fight the enemy that flickered behind echo pulled a lever while pressing a b.u.t.ton, ''WARNING SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCE OF INNER CIRCLE ACTIVATED!'' Sound over the intercom, a ma.s.sive 20cm thick steel wall dropped down from the ceiling, cutting off any exists, while large amounts of gas started to be pumped into the room, the agents had gas masks on, but they knew this gas was made to even circ.u.mnavigate that as it entered through the very pores of the skin. The agents were the first to fall to their knees as the gas attacked every cell in their body decomposing it visible to the naked eye, ''Poison? Don't they know that that is useless against us, but sure it is troublesome to open this steel wall... not,'' with one strike with his dagger a ma.s.sive hole was put through, the gas started to leak into the 2nd circle.

I made my way to the outer circle, 'If that doesn't stop them, then this will!' I exclaimed and pulled another lever only known to me, ''Release mechanism activated!'' Sounded again, ma.s.sive amounts of clanking noises came as every link was detached, and before the enemies could process what was happening the inner core and 2nd ring started to fall at astounding speeds, 'a 200-meter drop... that will cause them some trouble.' I smiled. But my body was failing, wounds started to reopen while the gas was still lingering, 'I'm sorry if I am unable to return Marshall, if so I have failed you...' I apologized to the Marshall in advance, not knowing if I will survive the ordeal.
