Summary:

The battle was lost.

One could say it was going alright at first, neither side really got an edge but with the strandeds being incapable of Harming six, but there being too many of the strandeds to make real effort it became a endless struggle.

That is before, it happened.

As dexio was clashing with a stranded he noticed six side stepping towards him, but at that moment a gunshot pinged his helmet.

Six froze for several seconds, being close enough dexio could hear his breathing accelerate.

Before long he began screaming at the top of his lungs, running away from the battle in fear, tripping on some barbed wire, only to try bashing it off with his helmet.

His PTSD, he was in both a flashback and the real world causing hallucinations.

Managing to free himself from the wires, yelling "I'm sorry" repeatedly.

Dexio, tried to retreat to help six, but a stranded rushed him dispite their leader calling them off, then another threw an explosive.

Dexio was launched backwards, managing to survive he went towards the evac, not knowing he was being aimed at.

Then mute, with the last shot he could muster, shot the bullet mid air saving dexio.

However the overuse of his 0.T serum finally took hold, forcing his eyes shut, now blinded mute had to decend the mountain, gunfire from elsewhere  caught his Attention, thinking he was getting shot at he grabbed his pistols and blind fired where he thought it was coming from, just to fall off the mountain, though low enough to not sustain serious injuries.

Finale:

Dexio helped mute to his feet and escorted him to the escape shuttle, noticed HV also board the ship.

Inside the ship was a very distraught, panicked, and cowardly Six, hiding his head under his arms in the corner of the vessle.

Dexio sat Mute down and headed to Six, the ship taking off.

Dexio, not very adept in comfort being the maniac he was, really didn't know how to help six, but he knew when six was normally experiencing his ptsd he would go to chell and just be held.

Not caring about pride or the likes, he got sixes attention and offered the embrace, which he immediately took.

HV was silently smirking at them, as he impatiently tapped his foot.

THE AGENCY: MEDICAL WARD.

Dexio got the shrapnel picked out of him and some stitches for larger wounds before he left on his own, always wanting to keep some fresh wounds after a fight.

Mutes eyes were heavily strained from the overuse, on the verge of bursting, requiring advanced medical aid to heal, injecting a compound that would help move the blood out of his eyes, mute needed to wear bandages over his eyes for a week.

And six just needed extensive care from chell.

Though the abomination presumed Kia due to not returning with them and its chip being lost, the agency hardly had a reaction, just another animal.

HV was scolded for dropping into Eden without being given directives, to which he completely ignored and wondered what his next adventure would be.

The strandeds won, not suffering any casualties, however being attacked by their own has likely set them into place, knowing, they're the only ones they have now.
