[Island in the South Pacific / 1824 Hrs]

Archangel: Fall back into the forest! On me!

The group of 5 exited the fire-fight in haste. They tried calling reinforcements at the edge of a cliff.

Archangel: Who will stay on guard?

???: I will sir.

Archangel: Jan? Alright. Alert us if enemies are coming.

Jan: You got it.

He went to the forest's edge to guard against incoming enemies while Archangel fumbled with the radio.

Archangel: Does anybody read me? Over!

???: This is the aircraft carrier Pobeda, we hear you loud and clear.

Archangel: Oh thank God. This is Colonel Dusan of the Alpha Group. We need immediate assistance. Get us an exfil or air support, we're getting butchered here.

Radioman: We'll try what we can. We'll get to you shortly. Good luck.

And that's where the talk ended, Archangel was visibly furious. He had never felt this powerless.

Shadow: You okay sir?

Shadow the squad sniper took the first notice.

Archangel: Just pissed. Listen up men, we'll try out best to survive as long as we can, help is on the way.

Shadow: Well that is good to hear.

Beyond the cliff, ships were seen anchored and waiting for orders. The sun was also setting. The gunfire has died out along with the fire, everything was quiet. It seemed like they could escape.

Jan: Contact!

Everyone was caught off-guard and quickly grabbed their weapons to fight the upcoming wave of enemies.

Archangel: God help us.

The fighting ensues. They either win or die, they cannot run anywhere and are cornered. The first wave of enemies took a toll on them; no ammo - they could not fight easily now. All hope was lost until the radio came to life.

Radioman: Group Alpha, I advise you to get off the island, it's getting straightened out, those were the orders.

Archangel: We've got nowhere to go for God's sake! We're cornered on a cliff!

No response. Archangel cursed at it. Then sounds in the forest were heard again.

Archangel: Well, shit...

Shadow: Sir.

Shadow stopped him in his track and led him to the cliff.

Shadow: We've thought about this and believe it's better that one of us survives with the intel we've gathered.

Archangel's eyes widened. 

Archangel: No... I'm not leaving my men behind! We've lost a lot already!

Shadow: It is either our lives or the lives of 8 billion people! They might follow if we all jump, so a distraction is good.

Archangel: YOU CAN'T DO THIS!

Shadow: Don't worry, we'll forgive you. And so will the Almighty. Now go!

He pushed Archangel over the 40-meter cliff into the water, when he landed in salty water he took off his vest and weapon and swam up to the surface with the intel gasping for air. Well, the action cannot be fixed so he swam to the ships which aimed their turrets at the island.

Archangel: They weren't joking...

He continued swimming to the ships.

[Meanwhile]

Shadow: Let's make him proud boys. Our enemies are many - our equals are none! Gove them hell.

The four-man squad charged head-on at the advancing enemies. They all stopped until they heard cannon fire, the ground shook from the explosions.

Shadow: It has been an honor fighting along with you.

After another volley, they were engulfed in flames and napalm. They saw a bright light and thought that it was the end.

Shadow->Miloš: What the fuck.

Jan: Yeah I'd say the same.

Velimir: Where are we?

Vladimir: I'm just as curious as you are.

A white void. 

???: You're literally nowhere.

A knight drinking apple juice appeared in front of them.

Milos: Who are you?

???: No one significant. Right, I've been told that you have 2 choices now. Life or death?

Jan: Elaborate.

???: Would you want to enter the Lord's realm? Or would you like to go saving again?

Jan: Give us a moment.

The four of them got into a circle and started talking about this deal.

Milos: This guy seems sketchy. 

The guy in question:

Jan: Look around you first

Jan: Look around you first. All of this looks sketchy. But anyways that's beside the point. Saving people again?

Milos: I'm for it. Seems like you are too. And you two?

Velimir: Well, I valued others more than me most of the time so let's go saving.

Vladimir: Don't wanna be a minority so let's do this.

They faced the knight and before any one of them could speak he interrupted them.

Knight: You were 2 meters away from me I could hear everything. Let's brief you here; you are all going to the world of Remnant. And-

[One explanation later]

Knight: -your main goal is to defeat Salem any way you can, use whatever force necessary. Any questions?

Velimir: Do we get a semblance?

Knight: No, you get an ability of your choosing and a new set of clothes. You don't wanna stand out. And you will commit a blood oath to summon each other in a fight for a brief time.

[Timeskip]

Knight: Y'all ready? 

The squad: Yes.

Knight: Oh and before I sent you, you will not be together as a team so you'll have to find each other. 

Jan: What?

Knight: Good luck.

They were sent their way to the world of Remnant.

Knight: Let's hope these men will be able to do it...
