Falmart : (coda village evacuation caravan)

'the flame dragon is attacking'

the JSDFs soldiers along side the dominion marines did not waste a single moment after noticing it .

the first thing that came to their mind was rescuing the civilians Moving to their assigned tasks, Rath and Maya team were first to sortie out leading a team of marines and combat medics. Putting Swann's inventions to use, their thruster packs boosted them quickly onto the battlefield.

"Rath! My team will start pulling people away from the battle zone first" said Maya. "Try to get the dragon's attention away from the civilians".

Nodding in response, Rath's team took the lead moving pass the civilians the JSDF were stunned at how fast they were moving. But they had little time to be in awe as they were in the middle of a fight for their lives. Watching the dragon take a deep breath it was about to breath out a stream of fire killing at least twenty people that were still in the way. Kicking his boosters into full gear, rath along side the JSDF where going to intercept it witch cause the dragon to shift his attention and release his flame toward them though they bearably evade it.

The JSDF used their maneuverability to run circles around the dragon but their ammunition couldn't dent the scales though the same couldn't be said for the marines rounds. The rounds proved to be powerful enough to go through the scales add to that the shoots from the the diamondback railguns made even small bits of the dragon's body blown to thousands of pieces

For now, let's change the scene.

The roaring sounds of the engines of a HMV, a Type 73 Truck and a Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) made a cloud of dust in their trail.

The elderly, women, and children in the vehicles had to endure the rocking of the vehicle from sharp turns and changes in speed, causing their heads and bodies to collide with each other. Gritting their teeth, they endured the pain.

"Fighting with monsters is the JSDF's tradition! Who'd have thought that we would be doing it here! but at least we have a backup with us and they are not weak either!" Sergeant Major Kuwabara shouted furiously "GO! GO!". Maybe it was due to the over-secretion of adrenaline by the brain, but a hint of joy could be heard in his voice.

"I know old man! just stop hitting!!" screamed  Sasagawa who was get kicked around in the driver sit by his overexcited sergeant 

The Flame Dragon swooped down at the villagers who had stood frozen in place. Seeing this, Itami shouted in the direction of the speeding LAV.

"Suppressing fire! LAV! Shoot him with the machine gun!"

The thick cartridges fell messily to the ground amidst gouts of black smoke as 12.7mm bullets created sparks on the Flame Dragon's back However, the tough dragon scales deflected all of the bullets.

"It's useless!" said kurata " but the weapons of the marines seems to work on it !"

"that true but it's still dangerous for the civilians we need to end it quickly but how !?" said itami suddenly he heard someone screamed to him in the back ,when he turned around his eyes widened and they could only hear "ahh. . . . ."

back with the dominion forces :

the dragon was ready to unleash a second breath toward the marines and the civilians to kill them

"We're going to die!"

"Ahhh!"

"Keep running!"

Screamed the villagers Just briefly looking back at the dragon make them saw their impending doom as the flames chased after them. While some kept running regardless, a woman could run no longer as she collapsed to the ground.
