SQ"UARY NOTE:I'm sorry.
A round of smoke flares are fired. Shit! I fell asleep. Durc and Zada did too! It's clearly morning.
"Did you guys see that?" Carley rubs her eyes. Alissa, William and Abel are already up.
"Look, Emelda thinks that by luring the titans to a point where they're boxed in, we can kill them. Clearly the eotans ignored us and found the civillians. Looks like we're going to have to help our fellow soldiers." Abel says.
"GUYS!" Michael is a panting mess. "Knight. Sent. Me. Up 'ere. For ya!"
"We ought to go for it then!" Ty's already up and bouncing.
"Too much energy." Brad whines. Oliver's stretching his still limbs.
"Let's do this."
Everybody gets up and starts to slap each other to wake themselves up.
"We ought to get moving." Gwen says.
"Let's move out! There are fifteen of us, right?" Durc asks. I do a head count. Who is here? Zada, Carley, Brad, Ty', Lexi, Gwen, Alissa, Durc Wolfgang, Oliver, William, Abel, Blaise, Cyril from the USA, myself and now Michael Keeley. Fifteen. I nod.
"I say that we split into three small squads." Blaise speaks up.
"Who will lead?" Zada queries. "Dylan didn't come with us and he was the natural leader, he was the Jean of our group."
"I think that Alexis would be a strong leader, in some instances, Lexi has been more skilled and quicker on her feet than Dylan. I would honestly feel at ease with you leading me, Alexis. You up for it, Lexi?" Alexis nods, saluting like a subordinate would to Erwin Smith.
"Always." her eyes are ablaze with determination.
"I would recomend our strongest fighters being evenly distriibuted. Alexis, Ty' and Durc should be in seperate squads." Blaise says.
"I agree." Durc nods.
"Umm...I think that it would be a logical idea to put the teams together that are clearly efficient. Annie, I think you honestly work best with Durc. Zada and Carley work amazingly together. Gwen, you ought to be in a strong squad since you are injured..." Blaise puts his hand on his head.
"Team Alexis; Alexis, Gwen, Oliver, Abel and Cyril." Blaise says.
"Yokai!" they all line up and salute. Blaise smiles.
"Team Ty'; Ty', Zada, Carley, Brad and Alissa."
"THANK YOU!" Carley's eyes are brimming with tears, Zada puts an arm around her. Brad's holding Ty' back so she can't punch Carley for crying. This team is clearly disorganised but that concept of no strategy is what makes Ty' brilliant.
"Team Durc; Durc, Annie, Michael, William and myself. Any objections?" Blaise asks.
Nobody says anything.
"Let's go!" Blaise instructs.
We get running to the mouth of the cave and fire. Our three squads move in individual arrowheads, the back row has a gap in the centre. It is like some sort of unspoken agreement to put the strong fighters at the front and back. Ty', Lexi and Durc are leading the squads. At the back are Cyril and Oliver, Brad and Zada and Blaise and myself.
I can hear agonised screams and see titans roaming the Little Town. This must be devistating for those born and raised here. They have a long history walking along the streets that are stained with blood.
