Crimson Knights

Chapter 2 - The Snake

The knights jumped, breaking off into their squads to cover their sub-sections. Talas being the knight commander took sector 3, Sub-Section 1. The rush of air hit them like a brick wall. Talas reckoned they increased the height as it seems the armours wings sprung. Looking at the ground he could see the sector 2 and 1 and a bit beyond the walls. Talas only knew the land outside the city walls as "Deathly Spiral" only for he has seen many leave and return by a spiral of strong winds and fire. Talas re-focused on the drop. 20,000feet...the carrier has defiantly increased it's altitude.

"Talas?...Talas can you hear me?" Volcon's crackled voice came through the built in head sets inside the helmet. "Talas you need to wake up and focus. Get your feet.."

"Yes V I know, I just...spaced out" Talas rotated his body so his feet where under him and ready for the landing.

Volcon's crackled voice came again "Glad to see that we're off to a good start"

15,000ft...10,000ft....3,000ft...Touchdown.

As the four landed, they immediately began rechecking their armour for fall damages. Talas gave it some time before engaging his Inter squad comm-link.

"Alight, All knights report in...CK 3-1 safe touchdown" Talas spoke, he waited a while before he got a responds.

"CK 3-2 safe touchdown"

"CK 3-3 safe touchdown, repeat safe touchdown, moving to patrol"

"3-4 ST, moving to patrol route"

"3-5 ST, moving to PR"

"CK 3-6, one injury, non-critical. Moving to patrol soon."

"CK 3-7, same on last"

"CK 3-8 and 3-9 are ST and ready to move over"

Inside the helmet, Talas gave a slight worried look.

"3-9 why are you with 3-8?"

"We miss judged the wind speed and we got carried into sub-section 8. we will make haste to our sub-sector Brother KC"

"Solid copy, Get moving 3-9"

"Yes brother"

Talas kept the link live but unresponsive. He walked over to his brothers and they were all waiting. Their blood red armour stained with the blood of their enemies and their own. No words were said until Gear spoke up.

"So...We moving or staying?"

"Moving, okay establish audio and visual up-links now"

On the side of the helmet was a control panel covered by a piece of armour. The panel activated various functions like the in-built AI and various armour functions. The squad started to move down the street. It was dirty and run down. There was hardly any life around them, everything seemed damned and lifeless. Talas' Audio link was connected as were his brothers.

"Rolous...where's your visual feed?"

"It was working fine on the carrier"

Rolous' Visual up-link was malfunctioning. 'What a pain' Talas thought to himself. 'Now I have to think differently'. Talas groaned slightly at the thought but soon banished it from his mind.

"Rolous go with V, I go with Gear"

Volcon looked puzzled.

"Why?"

"Because we need to cover the whole sub sector. Trust me, I know what I'm doing"

Talas began to walk down a road with Gear, he let Rolous and V go the opposite way. Further down the road Talas begun wondering when it was a god time to ask Gear about the name Jaharis. After breaking up a little street fight in a alley, Talas tapped Gear on the shoulder. Gear turn slightly.
