New Ephyra

House of Sovereigns

Anya: so how is life in New Ephyra, Councilwoman Robyn?

Robyn: a whole lot better than being under Atlas. Agricultural Production is proceeding well with your Husband and Friend both having one of the largest Farms.

I just can't believe two Legendary Soldiers decided to just settle down and simply farm.

Anya: well is you spent too much time fighting a war you tend to grow sick of it.

I just wish my son wasn't so enthusiastic about becoming a soldier.

Robyn: he'll be okay. The boy looked like he can take care of himself.

Anya: yeah.

Onyx Guard: Ma'am urgent message from Control!

Anya: patch him through.

Hoffman: President Fenix my scouts have come back with urgent news, there appears to be massive Grimm activity near the ruins of Mt. Glenn.

Anya: that's miles away opposite our direction.

Hoffman: indeed, I'm amassing a substantial Strike Force to engage them before they prey on outer laying villages.

Anya: granted General assemble your Force and stop this threat before it takes more innocent lives.

Hoffman: understood ma'am.

New Ephyra Agricultural District

Fenix Residence

Marcus and Dom were sitting on a porch with a couple of beers

Dom: still can't believe you gave your son my name, never thought you to be the sentimental type.

Marcus: War can do that to you.

Dom: look Marcus I'm sorry about your father.

Marcus: I know, it's in the past, like he said I should Live for him.

After all I did live my life a beautiful wife and a hard ass of a son.

Dom: JD is a good kid, he should be since he's your son.

Marcus: yeah.

As they just reminisce until they saw columns of armored vehicles and mass amount of troops and Dabs mobilize, that got them to question what's going on?

The two went to Control in their civilian attire and met up with Hoffman

Command and Control Center

Dom: General Hoffman what's going on?

He turns to see two good old comrades

Hoffman: Santiago? Fenix? What in Sam hell are you two doing here?

Marcus: we saw a huge column of troops marching through, what's going on?

Hoffman: we have detected a substantial Horde of Grimm moving around Mt. Glenn miles across our boarders.

There are many villages within reach of Mt. Glenn.

Dom: all those people....

Marcus: they'll just steamroll them.

Hoffman: yes, I'm sending a large force to intercept them before any of the villages are attacked.

Dom: who's in charge? JD is in Vale right?

Hoffman : on a Public Relations Mission, yes. The one heading the operation is Elizabeth Carmine as her brothers are with Jaune.

She's the only senior among the new recruits, but I assigned a good number of Veteran Commandos with her.

Marcus: sir permission to join them.

Hoffman: Marcus I know you retired and for good reason.

Dom: I'd like to re enlist too sir.

Hoffman: Not you too Santiago? What am I gonna tell Anya and Maria? They'll chew my ass up and spit it out.

Marcus: well tell them once we're out of New Ephyra. So they can be angry all they want.

Dom: you do know your gonna be in the Dog House when Anya hears about this.

Marcus: what do you mean me? Your coming with me.

Dom: I'll tell them both it was your idea.

Marcus: why I outta...

Hoffman: enough, your both in. Get to the rally point and await further orders.

Marcus: you hear him Dom.

The duo went on to meet with Lizzie

Lizzie: oh hey Commander Fenix!

Marcus: what? My son's the Commander not me.

Lizzie: new orders from Control your leading this Force since you and Santiago are the ones with the greatest experience in warfare.

Dom: so do we have Hammer privileges?

Lizzie: you have to ask your Son that since he is one of the three who are only able to authorize a Hammer Strike.

Dom: damn, it's on you Marcus.

Marcus: what have I gotten myself into?

Dom: just like old times isn't it Marcus

Marcus: here we go again.

Marcus: here we go again

Baird: hey Jaune it seems like New Ephyra has sanctioned a full Military Retaliation on the Grimm.

Jaune: alright I understand that. But who's leading?

Lizzie still has less experience than some of the Older Gears.

Baird: well she got a lot of Regulars and Commandos along with a detachment of my DBs so that should be enough against those mindless beasts.

Jaune: true.
