"Let's get this debriefing underway!" Storm spoke loudly as the room quickly grew quiet. "As some already know our scouts have spotted two groups, both holding five squads. One is headed here " Storm pointed to a point on the map that showed a small town, the once lively town of Pony Town. "And the other here" Storm moved his hand to spot on the map that had barely anything of note. "It might not look like much on the map but at this location is an abandoned train yard" Storm looked over all the people who gathered to go on his mission. "We will have two squads to tail them. I will be in charge of Alpha squad which will be tailing group A that is heading to the train yard. While Sargent Peterson will lead Beta Squad to tail group B. Remember this is a recon mission, remain low, quiet and out of sight, in the case of anything going horribly wrong both squads will have contact with one another as well as contact with base for any kind of support calls. Any questions?" Storm waited as he looked over everyone. "Good, prep and move out! We can't afford to waste anymore time! Dismissed!" The insurgents saluted and left to make preparations. Storm walked up to Gutz and the rest. "I assume you three won't need preparations?" He asked.
They shook their heads.
"Good, we will move out on foot, vehicles will only get us caught."

"Thank you everyone who helped turn this place into a camp for survivors. As you know we aren't the only group who was cast down here, we have found multiple groups who have made their homes here. The runner duos have been made with the help of volunteers willing to risk life and limb to help ensure supplies are kept abundant and thank you to those who have volunteered to act as guards as well. Without you all, we wouldn't have grown to a staggering 50 people" Jack smiled. "And a huge thank you to Jason who has heleped me greatly putting this all together, despite being only a teen, he has been very responsible and-"
A supply runner rushed in shouting. "A-a group of beasts have been spotted in the lower level halls!" She was out of breath.
"Well... No rest for the wicked eh? Jason, come with me, this shouldn't be too hard for us seeing as we've been holding our own" Jack hopped down from the table he was stood on and walked up to Jason. "Come on kiddo, we got a beast to slay" Jack pat his head and walked by.
"Right!" Jason followed as they walked towards the exit of the camp.
"You guys know what to do, lock it down tight and make sure you have double the guards!" Jack shouted as he left the camp with Jason.
As they approached the entrance to depth two a guard watching over the stairwell nodded to Jack in greeting "Going to take care of the beast?" He asked.
"Yup, any info you got?" Jack asked.
"From what we could gather, the beast is one that hasn't been seen before, it also had a smaller beast with it. I would be careful if I was you" He responded.
"Right, thanks for the info" Jack and Jason walked down the stair to deph two.
They carefully proceeded looking for clues as they fended off the same old beasts they have seen many times before.
"Hmmm... There has to be some kind of clue as to where they went" Jack stopped and began thinking.
Jason pointed to a trail of blood. "Well this might be a good place to start"
Jack looked at the blood which led down a hall to their left. "Good thinking!" Jack smiled and took point, ready to fight.
As they made their way down the hall they came to a large, open, empty room that looked like it was a large conference at one point.
"You fools just keep coming huh?... Guess you'll never learn unless I keep killing everyone of you!"
A beast that was skinny and had red eyes, he spoke in a low stern voice as he approached. "This is MY territory and I WILL kill you both for coming here just like the others!"
Jack was dumbfounded by the fact it was talking. "You can talk?..."
"Yes I can talk! Not all of us quote on quote beasts are mindless!"
He rushed Jack claws first, Jack barely dodged and swung his bat slamming it into the side of the beast. The beast yelped in pain. Jason rushed and swipped with his clawed knuckles striking the beast let out another yelp as blood dripped down his cheek.
"Fucking bastards!" He would summon dual sickles from the air and slam the handle into Jason's head causing him to stagger. "Now you're mine!" He brought up his sickle and slashed but Jack shoved Jason out of the way, the bat cracking from the force of the swing as he blocked.
"Enough! Both of you!" A female voice shouted from the entrance to the room.
Both Jack and the beast stopped and turned.
"That voice..." Jack focused in the figure. "Luna?"
The figure approached. "Jack!" She ran up and hugged him.
Jack hugged back before quickly noticing that he was touching what felt like soft fur. He pulled away and examined her, she was an anthropomorphic fox, one of the beasts but sentient.
"What happened and who the hell is this edgy fucker?"
The beast growled in response to the remark.
"Easy Fenrir" She looked at Jack "He has been helping me stay alive, a lot of people have been trying to kill use because of what were made into..." Luna sighed.
Jack looked at Fenrir and patted his shoulder. "Thank you."
"Shut up, fuck face!" He snapped and walked away.
Jack and Jason were both stunned at the response.
"Don't mind him, he'll warm up to you." Luna smiled.
