A soldier pants as he walked on the snow, it crushed underneath his feet. His comrades around him as they all scanned for more threats, but they currently seem to be alone with dead bodies of Ragnarian soldiers.
"O-Officer..." another soldier said glancing at the officer with them, his voice shaky with fear and unease. The officer who was glancing at the corpses, both of foe and allies. He had his pistol head up as he turned to look at the soldier, "Yes?"
The soldier, warily pointed at the direction which was at his right, the officer followed where the finger pointed at... And what he saw, made his eyes widen and skip a beat. A black-winged creature descended on the ground, no flapping can be heard from it. The snow crunching underneath its feet's weight.
It wore a grey helmet, resembling that of a centurion from ancient Rome but with a black feather on it and instead of silver, it was in the color of grey and almost dark. It wore robes of the same color along with violet kneepads and shoulder armor. It looked up, its eyes full white and its skin grey. The creature looked up, baring its sharp teeth as it hissed like a wild animal.
"WHAT- WHAT IN THE NAME OF MECHANUS IS THAT?!!!" the officer yelled as he backed away, trying to maintain his composure, but the fear was now evident in his voice. The creature growled, several figures that dived in a blurry speed can be seen from above, landing onto the ground around him. They all looked similar to him.
They glared at the soldiers and bared their teeth too, hissing like wild animals.
"D-DAMMIT!!!"
the officer cursed as he turned to look at the other soldiers, "FIRE!!!!!!!!!"
The other squads in the area began to regroup, completely alarmed by the vast amount of those strange creatures. However, multiple of them had already been wiped out, even though some managed to regroup.
The soldiers began making a run for it, firing guns at the demonic beings, throwing grenades, desperately firing guns, had the barriers they summoned slashed open by them much to their surprise and slashing their Cleavers (similar to sabers but advanced and are laser blades) through the enemies. Some of the soldiers were killed in the process.
The officer fired his pistol at one of the demons' face, it growled and fell over in pain as he grabbed out his Type 5 Cleaver. "CHARGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEE!!!!!!!" he yelled, the soldiers got a rush of adrenaline as they began charging at the demons, fending them off as they all made their escape, turning around to run and keep distance at least a bit before turning to slash again.
Not long later they managed to make it to a village, the officer panted as he glanced around, they have temporarily lost those fowl beings. But then, the sound of snow crunching multiple times can be heard, which are of course, footsteps running. A bunch of people jumped out a corner, Ragnarian soldiers... To be exact.
"RAISE YOUR HANDS YOU PIECES OF SHIT!!!" a Ragnarian soldier barked, his hands trembling slightly as he aimed his gun right into the officer's head.
"WOAH WOAH, WOAH!!!"
The officer raised his hand into the air, stepping forward warily as he heaved a sigh. His heart thumping in a mix of determination and nervousness in his chest. "We must not kill each other. We have better priorities... Those winged creatures..."
The soldier lowered his gun, dumbfounded... "You got attacked by them too?" the soldier asks, calming down as he lowered his guard as well. The officer nodded. "Yes, yes. That is what happened. We must prioritize our safety, we can draw blood in a different time, but for now we must halt it, now that a greater force is set on eliminating us.", the Ragnarian soldier thought for a bit, before looking at one of the officers of his squad, who nodded.
"Very well, I accept your proposal. But remember, this war is far from over."
They needed to get to the fort nearby. They lack teleporters and they need them right now. During this campaign in the war, the Ragnarian have snuck into their camps and stole most of their supplies, the ones that were completely taken away were their teleporters. But now they need it back. But worst of all, they must travel on foot. Apparently due to the cold weather their teleporters malfunctioned at some point.
"What are those things?" A Ragnarian soldier asks a Neonian soldier as their forces marched on the snow, crushing it underneath their feet.
"It is possibly a voidborn, creatures from Neonia's mythology that are said to bring doom onto the entire Cosmicverse when The Great Unmaking were to happen, it was previously delayed centuries ago by a man named Kenshiro Elyas who was responsible for defeating the Titan of the End... the Emperor of the Voidborns. But Neonia was in terrible shape after that event, thousands had died, children, men, women, soldiers, you name it. This may be a sign of it's coming once again..."
"R-Really?! I thought it was a myth!"
The soldiers of both sides began to whisper among themselves as they marched throughout the snowy field, occasionally casting wary looks around them. Knowing the voidborns can appear anytime sooner.
They lost plenty of men along the way, the voidborns had attacked again, and again, and again, and again. Striking plenty of casualties among them as they made their way to the fort. After a while they arrived in the fort. They rushed in and fought their way to the weapons bay, raiding it and taking all the teleporters. They used them to teleport out of this area in Ragna and into their respective places.
The Neonians into their own universe, and the Ragnarians into the nearest city, Logga.
