A/N: Yeah sorry for the shorter chapter but I kinda had to for this.

Azure: (calms down) Okay, okay. They must of screwed something up.

Suddenly the metal door began to melt as the whoever was on the other side of was forcing an opening. Azure readied his weapon as no way he was going down without a fight.

Violet: (blasts door open) We need to leave now!

Walking out Azure sees UFV and White Fang soldiers bodies laying dead. Taking a second look at Violet he sees that she looks battered herself. The two began to run.

Azure: And our soldiers?

Violet: (fires weapon at WF grunt) I sent out the retreat order. All Atlesian knights will be used to cover the retreat.

Azure tackles a grunt appears from around a corner. Stabbing them in the eye, Azure and Violet shoots at the incoming group.

Violet: Unfortunately I had to also order for the dead to be left behind.

Azure: Don't be hard on yourself. You made the right choice. Sadly there is nothing we can do about it.

Moving forward he sees the Atlesian Knights and some UFV soldiers covering their retreat and their comrades. They managed to escape but at a great cost. All of the bullheads had to be used to carry the wounded. The rest had to walk their way. He saw that the morale of his troops were effectively broken as the mission that was suppose to be a decisive victory turn to a great loss with heavy casualties.

Azure: Violet, we will enter a different path. Call in Aegean but use our secret frequency. I don't want others to hear this. Tell Aegean to tell the troops I died but tell him the truth.

Violet called in Aegean to lead whatever was left as Azure said that the two needed to go a different path. Azure said that officially Azure is dead but unofficially the two will only know that he is alive.

Violet: Azure, I'm sorry but Crimson didn't make it.

Violet gave the dog tag to Azure. As he wipes the tag he sees the identification information confirming his death.

Azure: (sadly) Crimson, I'll avenge you and the others. They will pay. Blood for blood.

Violet: Uhh why did you wanted to act as if you were dead?

Azure: Because they wanted me dead

As this happened the agent responsible for all of this was currently contacting Adam.

Adam: This better be a secure line.

Spy: High leader, it is. Word is that Azure is dead. One of his lieutenants confirmed it.

Adam: Finally! That traitor is dead. Sadly, I never got to see the look on his face.

Spy: Is my job done?

Adam: No. Azure had a second in command. Is she alive?

Spy: Yes.

Adam: Then we still need you to undermine them. We dealt a great blow today but you are the only person we got in as you know.

Spy: Right the others in combat roles died. I will see it done High Leader Adam.

As the remnants of the UFV force walk Azure continued.
