"This place is hard to navigate" says Saf, his mind is focused on the surroundings making sure he doesn't run into anything stupid like last time he went to space.

"You're right on that one, many hiding spots here, we should be safe for now, let's take a break and eat some food while we're here" says the raspy accent soldier, making sure no one who may be hiding near them heard him.

"Yeah, let's do that, I'm about to die from starvation" Armin whispers clearly famished as his voice cuts off.

The soldiers sit down and grab out of Armin's backpack a little ration box only suitable for 1 piece of food per person.

"Are you kidding! I thought there was more!" The raspy voiced soldier shouted, his face turns a bright red and no matter how much times he had been told to quiet down he never did, he stormed out of the hiding spot and before anyone could process what he was doing a gunshot ringed across from where they were, the soldiers eyes sprinted open as the raspy voiced soldier collapses on the ground, bleeding from his head, it's like the blood wouldn't stop, his rage got him killed, but the real question was who shot him?

"Well, if it isn't the Maverick group!" Said a Raven soldier appearing from inside a fake trench.

"We have this place surrounded, now we want your ration box, your guns, ammo, and armour"

"Otherwise you can be killed brutally" the Raven soldier exclaimed so loudly half the other soldiers had to cover their ears.

Armin stood up as Saf tried to pull him down
he announced "There's no way we're giving you what you want! We can stay here a fight, we're not cowards, kill us if you dare!"

Armin raises his gun to the opposing Raven soldier.

"Now, you don't have the guts to shoot me, if you do you'll be shot down within an Instant" the Raven soldier shouted.

Armin looked down and winked at Saf, he then gestured Saf pulling Armin back down into the pit once he shot.

"Go on kill me!" The Raven soldier kept shouting for a solid minute, when then, Armin had his finger on the trigger and as he pressed it down the bullet unlodged through the guns exit and had landed itself on the Raven soldier.
The soldier gasped for air as he fell down into the fake trench were he emerged from. As the soldiers surrounding Armin and the group jumped up ready to fire, Armin ducked as Saf pulled him back into the pit and then Saf whispered "How do we deal with these guys?"
Another soldier replied with "I think we have enough to best these guys"

"You sure?" Armin said

"Positive" the soldier replied

The soldier then peaked his gun out the edge of the pit and fired multiple times, many blood splatters could be heard before many gunshots from the panicked Raven soldiers flew through the air.

"Got a few!" The soldier exclaimed.

He then proceeded to jump out the pit and in a matter of a second he got hit in the chest and stumbled backwards as he fired towards the soldier that hit him everyone else including Saf and Armin rushed towards the group that surrounded them, they had their guns blazing, some fell, as the Ravens dropped in large numbers dead.

"They all gone?" Armin asked

"Check the edges, they might still be hiding somewhere" Saf announced.

After a few minutes of searching someone shouted

"All clear, that was the last of them!"

"So how much did we lose?" Armin said

"About 5 or 6, not too sure" Saf replied

"Less then I expected" Armin replied to Saf's answer.

The soldiers open up the door to leave while Saf picks up the ration box and takes his portion of the meat before closing the box and stuffing it back into Armin's backpack once again....
