Betrayal of the apocalypse

[Dirt]

Dust blew across the plain the cries of thousands of lost souls echoed in the distance. Ten figures appeared silhouetted atop a blood soaked sand dune. The ten warriors of the end the ultimate fighting unit that was responsible for the destruction of many a people and many a resistence. They each carried a specific weapon of choice each with their unique skill set and their own unique method of destruction. These ten lived lives of death they had nothing but each other and the grim call of the end.
"good job everyone now bring it on home," a stern voice shot over the intercom.
"on our way general." Shin'en the leader of the ten answered.
Shin'en was tall about 6'2'' he was fit and of average build. he wore a tattered black cape and held a medium length katana in his left hand and a 9mm pistol in his right. He wore a white head band with the words abyss scribbled in black on the front. He had on a gray shirt stained with blood his paints were like padded military fatigues blotted with sand and blood. He wore torn shoes that were indescernable as to what kind of shoes they were. He stared off into the distance.
"well were goin home gear up and move out!" he shouted out to the nine standing around him.
"finnaly i thought we were never gonna leave this hell hole." The voice of Kuchiku rang out across the sandy wasteland his rocket launcher proped on his shoulder he looked akward with a rocket launcher almost bigger than he was at a small size of 5'1'' and a slim frame he looked dwarfed in comparison to his large destructive weapon. He careid a tanto hidden in his large trench coat along with many differnet explosives. He wore no shirt and had on ripped jeans. His face was smudged with dirt and grime.
"patience Kuchiku you are to much of a hot head at times." said Ekitai a young women of average hight and curvasious build she wore a tight shirt and a medium length skirt she had a chain rapped around her right arm and had a belt with differnt kinds of of thowing blades on it. she was very pretty and her shoulder length brown hair was caked with dirt. She did not look like she belonged on a battle field but instead looked like she should be in a mall with a group of girls talking about boys and what to wear. the three stood talking as the other seven all piled into there military transport helicopter.
"will you three hury the f*cking hell up we dont have all day! damn i swear sometimes i feel like you guys want to talk more than get home now lets move it." Ikusa said looking very irritated. He was tall almost 6'3'' he was strong well built and fairly handsome. he wore standard military issue fatigues with a bullet proof vest no shirt . He had a rifle strapped on his back it was a short range three shot burst riffle he had two 9mm pistols strapped on either side of his chest in the specialy designed vest holsters an SMG was at his left side on his right hip he wore a wakasashi horizontaly on his waisteline. A katana was strapped across his back the sheath was underneath the rifle he wore fingerless gloves that were covered in grime and blood. every inch of this man was covered in either dirt, grime, or blood he exuded warfare and violence he seemed ready to fight at any moment.
"stop fuckin starring and lets go!" the three who were standing around in the desert looked at each other then at Ikusa then they walked into the helicopter and closed the back hatch.

The dark building loomed gloomy and sincester against a grey and cloudy sky. Inside was the strongest army on the planet the army of the abyss; the army centered around the ten the general stood stoic and cold atop the base the wind blowing gently across his scared and battle worn face. His grey hair flowed gently in the breze. His left eye had a scar across it it was a milky white but saw with perfect clarity. His other eye was as black as night and was deep and fearless. He watched the helicopter land safely in the bases hanger. A wry smile crossed his face.
"so the've returned and they're actually on time for once." he smirked and laughed dryly.
"I supose I should go meet them. SEARGENT! ready the mess hall the ten have returned." The general strolled down the hallway as the seargent ran in the other direction. The general strolled into the landing pad.
"good moring everyone."
"f*ck morning already damn I thought we might get to sleep some." said Yagura a large 6'11'' hulk of a man with arms the size of tree trunks. He carried a large Gatling turret in his right arm and a machine gun on his left hip he had ammo belts strapped diagnaly accross his large shirtless chest.
"Yagura show some respect he is a general after all."said a tall beatiful women with a slender frame as she stepped forth she had long black hair that shone in the light. She carried a small dagger on her belt and inside her long black cloak she had a wealth of blades from daggers and katanas to throwing knives and kamas. She wore a kama dangling from each hip and carried a pistol on the back of her belt.
"Reza cut him some slack he's just tired and probably hungry." Sogekihei stepped from the craft he was the same hight as Reza at 6'1'' he was slender but had muscle he described himself as a wiry man with fists of granite. He had a customized sniper rifle slung over his shoulder. He had a small patch that was covering his left eye. A scar began just under the patch and ended somwhere underneath. He wore a jacket with pockets at the chest and stomach they housed sniper rounds and tracking devices. The scope on his gun was at least a 10x magnification but could easily be changed. His cargo pants were loose and baggy who knows what could be housed in the pockets. The others exited the helicopter and made their way to the mess hall. The mess hall was filled with the sounds of a triumphant army laughing and the sound of tales of valliant acts on the battle field resounded through the room. The ten sat on the far side of the room at a long table with benches on either side the general sat at the head of the table.
"Boro pass the damn soup im not gonna ask you again!"
"you didnt ask me the first time Ikusa."
"well it doesnt matter give me the damn soup im fuckin hungry!"
"fine." Boro grabbed the bowl with his large hand he wore gauntlets made of a hard polymer plastic they were supposedly indestructable. His hands were dirty and nasty. His arms were muscular and strong he had a sleveless shirt that showed off his muscular frame he wore cargo shorts his feet were raped with fighting tape. His hair was messy and moderately long almost to his shoulders. he threw the bowl of soup at Ikusa who dodged it the bowl landed right on Seishi's golden hair she looked at Ikusa then Boro she grimaced.
"why is there soup on my head?" her voice was calm and peaceful.
"Sorry i missed." Boro looked apologetically at her. Seishi crossed her arms and made a pouting look on her young face. Seishi was only about 12 and was by far the youngest of them all. The only one close to her age was Ikusa who was either 16 or 17 he never really said which. Saiko looked at Seishi then at Boro.
"why dont you all shut the hell up and eat." Saiko had jet black hair and dark blue eyes. his stare was that of death and hatred.
"I cant stand this bickering."
"lighten up Saiko." Ikusa looked at Saiko and then gave him a rather goofy smile. then he looke at Seishi.
"sorry about the soup but its not like it will stain your hair."
"no but it did ruin the style" Seishi looked at Ikusa and laughed soon the entire table erupted in laughter.

The meal concluded the army of the abyss was on the march again. The general stood on a platform at the fore front of his army.
"MEN! this is a great day for us for the world now the iron hammer of the abyss becomes absolute. It is time to rain devestation upon the enemy." The crowd of soldiers cheered in a triumphant roar that shook the foundations of the planet. The general looked at his army he smiled.
"NOW WE MARCH FOR CONQUEST!" the soldiers began to pile into vehicles of all shapes and sizes tanks, jeeps, helicopters, and all manner of transport. The general turned to the ten.
"Its time to go I shall see you all shortly and good luck." The general gave a salute it was met by that of the ten. The ten rushed to their personal helicopter and boarded. It took off Shin'en stood near the back hatch he looked at the other nine.
"Are you are ready?"
"YES!" a resounding reply came from them they all sat preparing their weapons Seishi held a bo staff and carried an automatic rifle over her shoulder. The others all brandishing their weapons of choice all but Saiko who had no weapon and seemed wrapped up in his cloack. Shin'en starred at his troops they seemed downtrodden or maybe just tired so he attempted to raise there spirits.
"Where is Heaven?" he asked.
"Heaven is on the battlefield!" the cry of anxiousness for battle sounded out inside the small helicopter.
"And what are we going to do to the enemy?"
"Send them to HELL!" The chant was said by rote everyone inside smiled remebering their first days as a unit those were the general's first questions for them all. The helicopter landed and the hatch opened the sounds of battle could be heard coming from out side.
"Well what are we waiting for? lets go!" Shin'en smiled an led the charge out into the raging battle.

Mortars rained from the sky killing without descretion. Shin'en charged forward pistol in hand. He dodged left and right in fluid motions bullets wizzing by. He fired one shot it connected bringing down the enemy gunner he sent a flying kick into the side of a driver knocking him unconscious. a large fighter with big brass knuckles stepped from the passenger seat of the vehicle who's driver Shin'en just incapacitated. The giant swung Shin'en nimbly avoided him with slight fluid steps. Suddenly a rocket colided with the behemoths chest. Shin'en looked in the direction the rocket had come in Kuchiku stood smiling on top of a smoldering pile of rubble which used to be a jeep.
"You owe me one now Shin'en ." just as Kuchiku said that Shin'en pointed the pistol at his head and fired an enemy with a shotgun fell motionless behind Kuchiku.
"not any more." said Shin'en as he smiled dryly at Kuchiku. Shin'en was 25 he looked about his age but cerainly didnt act it. Shin'en was like a battlehardend officer whos eyes had seen to much horror and bloodshed to describe. Shin'en thrived in battle he exceled in most forms of fighting. He was fluid and calm most of the time and was always ready to fight even if he didnt seem like it. In contrast Kuchiku was about 19 but due to his short stature he was often mistaken for a little kid; which always infuriated him to no end. Kuchiku's firey read hair matched his attitude he was always up in arms about something. It didn't matter what the fight or argument Kuchiku was sure to be a part of it. suddenly not to far away Ikusa burst through the wall of a decayed ruined building. He turned pulled the rifle from his back and began shooting at his persuer who was a large mechanical suit of armor. The bullets bounced off without having any effect at all.
"shit were is Kuchiku when you need him." just then the mech suit toppled a stream of bullets clashing into its frame. Yagura stepped from behind the suit his Gatling turret still spinning from firing. Yagura looked at Ikusa.
"Thanks big guy you just saved my butt."
"think nothing of it Ikusa but do you always have to pick the biggest opponent to fight?" Ikusa smirked at Yagura.
"but its not as much fun if they arent big." far across the battle field Sogekihei sat atop a ruined building shots came blazing from his riffle killing enemy soldiers from up to 600 yards away with every shot an enemy colapsed Sogekihei was so good that in a matter of minutes his kill count was in the 50s. Sogekihei was calm but had an underlying wave of cockiness. Reza stood at the foot of the building slashing away at any enemy that dared come close enough for her to reach. Her attacks were quick in precise landing in a vital spot after each slash. she looked up to Sogekihei.
"that makes 62." she shouted.
"im at 63." Sogekihei shouted back with a cocky grin on his face.
The battle raged and the ten continued to decimate the enemy.

Saiko stood surrounded by enemy soldiers.
one of the soldiers shouted. "Draw your weapon." A malicious grin crossed Saikos face. suddenly with a flip of his cape and a flash of steal the enemy fell. Saiko smiled his lips curled into a grin he began to stroll slowly away from the numerous bodies of his enemy. Boro ran and crashed through yet another decaying wall. He slammed his fist into another soldiers face. The soldier was sent flying into a group of soldiers. Boro stopped running to exam the damage he had inflicted. The enemy soldiers slowly slinked away afraid to suffer the same fate as their commrad.
Seishi ran quickly down the old road looking behind her. Suddenly it appeared crossing over the builing which she had just come from it was another mechwalker.
"Damnit Damnit Damnit why are things always chasing me im not that pretty." she ran around another corner and ducked into an old building hoping she could loose her giant persurer. Seishi turned hearing a noise it was just Ekitai.
"you being chased by that thing to?" asked Seishi. Ekitai held a finger to her mouth to signify that Seishe should be quite. The walker had just began to leave when its heat sensor was tripped.
"Its turning around its time to run Seishi run now." Ikusa came running right by the two hiding girls shooting the giant mech with his riffle which soon ran out of bullets. He never stopped running forward he grabbed some grenades from his belt and began to fling them near the base of the mech hopping the impact from the explosions would tople it then out of no where as soon as the grenades exploded a rocket slammed into the side of the giant mech knocking down into a near by building. Ikusa looked up kuchiku sat atop a building rocket launcher in hand.
"go get i knocked 'em down you clean 'em up." Kuchiku said with a smile. Ikusa began to run toward the cockpit drawing his wakasashi. Then a small dagger flew right infront of his face he heard a sharp groan and a nearby sniper fell from a roof. He looked in the direction the dagger had come from it was Ekitai. She smiled at him gingerly then waved him on to do his job. meanwhile Shin'en was getting closer and closer to the central command post for the army cutting and shooting his way through lines of enemy soldiers. When without warning a loud alarm began to blare.
"ten seconds till missle fire and self destruct." Shin'en looked at the large building it began to protrude missles from every direction.
"OH SHIT!" shin'en quickly got on the radio and signled the ten to find cover hide do something.

[Dirt]

Shin'en looked on in horror as the central command began to launch missles in ever direction the missles collided with large parts of the army destroying indescriminately. Explosions rained from the heaven and then a small light began to shine from inside the building it soon began to become brighter and bigger until it erupted in a gigantic flash. Shin'en covered his eyes and braced himself against the oncoming wave of debris. He was being pushed back when a car came flying toward him his eyes covered he could not see the oncoming vehicle it slammed into him with a tremendous force.

Shin'en's eyes opened his vision was foggy he stood and rubbed his head which was very sore. He finally regained his composure and rembered what had just happened he grabbed his radio.
"Any one can you hear me anyone come overr anyone. Over" the radio crackled and wistled but no voice came back over.
"anyone come back repeat come back. Over" the radio lay silent even the histing of static had ceased. then the crackle of the radio came back
"Shi--n is '---t y-o. Ov--." Shin'en tried to make out the garbled communication but the radio was obviously broken.
"ALL UNITS repeat all units meat at original dropzone. Over." he looked out across the waisteland of what used to be a battlefield was now a grave yard.

Saiko strolled into the base. He had an evil grin on his face he walked past all of the gaurds inot the generals chambers.
"Saiko you're alright i heard what happened where are the rest." the general looked at the door behind Saiko but all he saw was boro and yagura as the door slammed shut.
"they're dead or at least they should be."
"you planned this Saiko?" the general looked in astonisment.
"Yes and now for the rest of the plan dear general." a look of madness crossed Saikos face and turned into a look of self satisfaction.
"what are you saying?..Are you trying to take over?...J Can't believe this Saiko how could you betray the cause?" Saiko's grin turned to a crooked smile
"ME betray the cause? NO IT IS YOU WHO HAVE BETRAYED THE CAUSE!!! I am renewing this cause i am returning it i am refreshing the ideals the cause is now one with its soldiers and its leader. Its new leader...ME." The general drew a pistol he pointed it at saiko's head.
"I am the leader. I am the man of the Abyss i control this army no one else and you will die for opposing me." Saiko's grin widened and he reached inside his cape. the glint of steel was seen. Two shots rang out then a body dropped to the floor. Saiko walked out of the room with blood on his cape and in his hair he straightened his hair out and turned to boro.
"time to address my army and please clean this up." Boro looked back into the room the generals face contorted still with a look of enraged confusion and fury. Boro shook his head and closed the door behind him.


Shin'en was at the DZ (dropzone) he looked and saw no one his heart sank.he had failed as a commander and a soldier. Then in the distance a silhouette caring something was it a person then another and another. Ikusa walked forward carying Seishi next to him was Kuchiku and Sogekihei he was leaning on Reza's shoulder Ekitai walked on the other side of Ikusa they looked tired and downtrodden. Some with minor cuts and bruises others like Ikusa were bleading severely but seemed not to notice.
"sir reporting for duty sir." Shin'encould'nt help but smile Ikusa was always breaking protocol it would figure he would be the only one to remember it when it was totaly unnecissary. Ikusa smiled back then his eyes dropped to Seishi.
"she needs medical attention." Shin'en ran his fingers through his hair.
"we need to get back to base and see what we can do from there."
With that they started walking the sun at their backs fading quickly to night a new army soon to be hot on their tails.

[Dirt]

Saiko stood at the head of the army
"we have a new adversary an adversary of incredible skill and cunning one of great stregnth and power they have killed my commrads and killed our beloved general. THEY MUST DIE! " a large cry of anger erupted from the army. Saiko turned a wry smile crossed his face as he began to walk off.
"boro finish up here you are my new commander after all." Boro walked toward the podium
"our new adversary may be small in number but they have killed some of the greatest warriors this world has ever seen they are monsters that will be destroyed by our power by our greatness. We will do what ever we can to kill them to wipe them from the face of this earth to send them to the depths of hell they will pay for their crimes against us." cheers of vengence, of anger, of redemption, and of pure hate rang from the army they were ready they were hungry for battle. The hunt began the army unaware that its enemy was formerely its greatest heros.
