Eight ex-military mercenaries, hand-picked by High Command, formed a task force that was bent solely on combating the growing threat of the Cybernetic Mercenaries, a mercenary army whose motives are to rule over everyone with an iron fist. This is o...
An overhead shot shows that the group and the squad are heading out of the forest and into another abandoned series of structures as the Nevermore follows them from the air. They spread out when it passes above, concealing themselves behind some of the stone blocks with their allies as it circles above a high column and caws. The squad of soldiers kept on firing on the Nevermore with their weapons, occasionally hurting it, but not to the extent where it could be fatal. The Nevermore seemed to be more concentrated on the squad then the teens, which gave them some breathing space.
"Well, at least I'm glad they're on our side!" Yang said as she watched the squad take cover while the Nevermore unleashed another volley of deadly feathers at them. The feathers missed the squad completely, striking the area around them.
"Yep!" Ruby says as she also watches them.
Jaune looks behind at the Death Stalker bursting onto the scene.

"Danke!" shouted Goggles in a strange language that no one ever heard.
"What?" Nora asked.
"Thanks!" Goggles replied in English.
"No proble-"
"Incoming!"
