A Few days later

Nearing Mt. Glenn

Surrounding Villages were being attacked by Hordes of Grimm massing around the ruined City

Urga Village

An Agricultural Village that has been attacked by Grimm recently due to Cinder's plans

The Villagers were lucky as they were in the route that the Gears took to prepare for a staging point

The Villagers praised and welcomed the Gears to either take a break or get some food for supplies all the while the Gears were helping them

One particular villager was so amazed and inspired by their actions he spent so much time with them sharing extra crops to help give the soldiers strength for their battle

Marcus: these people are tough.

Dom: I heard they survived 8 Grimm attacks recently.

Marcus: still, they need more intensive training.

A kid approached them with a bowl

???: here you go sir.

Marcus: thanks kid.

He takes a whiff

Marcus: ahhh.. Good old Tomato soup.

Dom: J.D would hate to hear that, he got sick of tomato soup.

Marcus: that kid needs more of it, you can't choose what you eat, especially in war.

Dom: that's why he had proper MRE's made for the troops it may taste bland but everyone is up and ready. Especially the coffee he makes. Mmmmm.

They noticed the kid was still there

Marcus: hey kid, what are you still doing here?

???: I want to ask you guys something.

Dom: c'mon kid we won't bite.

???: are you guys recruiting?

The two looked at each other

Marcus: how old are you kid?

???: 14.

Dom looks at Marcus with a questioning look

Dom: Marcus the minimum age for new recruits is 16.

Marcus: I know.

Dom now realizing what he was up to

Dom: Marcus, J.D will kill you.

Marcus: hey kid you wanna enlist, I have a company that needs more men. C'mon tell us your name.

Tucker: the name is Tucker.

Marcus: well , welcome to the Gears Corps.

Dom: oh boy can't wait to see him throttle you.

Marcus: I live through worse.

Dom: what about his parents?

Tucker: I only have my Grandparents, and the farm is not enough to help anymore.

Marcus: I need a hired hand to help my farm, you and your grandparents can stay at my family farm.

Dom: Man reminds me of Sera.

Marcus: 30,000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town.

Lizzie: alright boys let's get this show on the road!

Dom: Marcus do you think it was a good idea to bring the kid?

Marcus: it will be a good experience for him.

Tucker: uh Mister Fenix sir?

He said peeking out of a Centaur

Marcus: just Sarge kid we aren't polite here so drop the sir.

Dom: stay in there it will keep you safe.

Tucker: but...

Marcus: stay in the cockpit.

Lizzie: CONTACT!

Marcus: Open Fire!!!!

The Gears let it rip on the Horde

Marcus: Dom! Contact Control.

Dom: Control, this is Omega Company, we have engaged the Grimm in Mt. Glenn.

Hoffman: understood Omega, clear them out and investigate what they're doing there.

Dom: copy that, have air support ready just in case we get flying company.

Hoffman: copy that.

Then Megoliath came charging in

Marcus: look out!

They look to the Centaur

Marcus: Rodeo 2-1 is that you?

Rodeo 2-1: no sir it was the kid.

Marcus: nice shot there cadet!

Dom: we got more!

Then a barrage of feathers came down and pinned the Gears

Lizzie: we got a flier!!!

Marcus: shoot it down!

The Gears and armor column attempt to shoot down the bird but more came

Dom: more of them.

Marcus: Control we are getting pinned by enemy air, we need CAS right now.

Hoffman: understood sending them in now, 10 mins.

The C.O.G was holding it's ground until they wiped out the first wave

Tucker: wow! That was intense!

Marcus: get ready kid your about to get plenty of more experience.

Lizzie: we got more incoming.

Marcus: we might need the Hammer.

Hoffman: Negative, we will attract attention from the nearby settlements, use what you have Sergeant Major. And I believe Commander J.D won't allow it.

Dom: we're on our own Marcus.

Marcus: we've been in tougher odds before. C'MON!!! LET'S SHOW THESE BEASTS HOW GEARS FIGHT!!!!

Gears: Oooraaahhh!!!!

Jaune: can you contact the Armored Column?

Baird: sorry kid, it's either their under attack or we can't clear up the signal. I'll re-route a Hammer of Dawn and use the Camera to see what's going on.

Del: J.D we got a problem!

Jaune: what is it?

Faz: there has been a shoot out at the docks.

Jaune: damn it! Baird keep an eye on that Column while Me and the rest of Delta deal with this.
