Axis:Legacy

Chapter 27: Task Force Revenir

News of the Chemical Attacks of the City of Thermus, the second largest City within Axis that's heavily famous for the War Museum that held many relics of previous wars had spread across the continent like wildfire just hours after the bombs had gone off. The Kingdom of Exavis was horrified at the fact that such a group was capable of doing something so terrified, whereas the Kingdom of Jorouse wants compensation in response to the death of the Ambassador who was among the victims that died during the Gas Attacks.

As such politically Axis is slowly getting pressured by the Jorouse who would begin to suspect that Axis has no regard to Jorousian Members of State while Exavis defends that this was the work of Terrorists. Meanwhile, the Axis Government is currently more focused on handling the threat of not only having their Second Largest City succumb in a Gas Attack while fearing the next move of the Coalition. Because of this their priority is both the mass evacuation of the City as the Gas slowly spreads across the City while having all the other cities that have not been affected by the Gas attacks.

As such with the Military Police, Axis Government and the Academy as a whole is heavily divided in the current crisis, with the Military Police working their hardest on seeking out and investigating the Coalition members that were alive captured from the Incident as well.

The Government on the other has halted all projects and plans and is more focused on relief effort on first finding a way to cure and reverse the effects caused by the Gas,

And Academy as a whole had begun to take focus on assisting both in this crisis. The Third and Fourth years are more focused on the investigation with the Military Police, and the Second and First Years have focused on assisting the medical aspect of the Crisis.

And so Teams Aegis and Strike found themselves in Thermus assisting the Medical Personnel. For a brief moment, Thomas and Lissa found themselves helping in identifying the Corpses of those who died from Exposure from the Gas.

Truth be told while it had been hours since their intervention with the Wedding the two haven't had a proper talk since then mostly to focus on their objective instead.

"Those poor souls," Lissa commented in a low voice as the two went and finished placing a child's corpse into a body bag.

"I wish we could have found a way to stop them," Thomas lamented as he watched as Alice from his Team and Jun loaded up on the Truck to be shipped back for identification and autopsy.

"What can we do? These things are absolutely–"

"Watch out!"

Thomas shouted at her as a Sedan crashed on a nearby post taking both of them by surprise as the two quickly scrambled with the other remaining Team members went to see who's inside.

"Get a stretcher and prep the Van for an emergency transfer to the Camp!" Thomas shouted as he and Lissa looked and to their horror, they found their Seniors, Fuyumori Haruka and Harumura Natsuki at the front, their weapons were destroyed and was in critical condition.

"Told you we'd make it...Haruka..."

The two heard Natsuki mutter while Haruka was silent with him grabbing Thomas and dragging him by the collar and whispered something in a low voice.

"Get this...to the princes..." He said weakly as the two were rushed to the Van and were transported out of the Quarantine Zone. Lissa shot a curious look at the back of the Crashed Sedan and found two containers that seemed to glow ominously within the place.

"What the hell are these?" Lissa asked as she looked at one of the Containers as it glowed faintly blue drawing her curiosity further into it.

"No idea but they want us to take these to the Princes and let's do just that and get it over with," Thomas said as he grabbed the other one causing it to glow red from his touch. "We have more important things than just work as runners."
