Chapter 3: Anti-Terror

13:49 HOURS, SEPTEMBER 7th, 2552, (MILITARY CALENDAR) / UNKNOWN SYSTEM, OUTSKIRTS OF VALE, TWO WEEKS AFTER THE BREACH INCIDENT

"Run!" A White Fang soldier yelled before a bullet went through his throat.

"What the hell is that thing!?" Another yelled before he was shot in the head

The White Fang soldiers kept running until they arrived at their vehicles, "Come on, Bruce, open the door!" One of the soldiers yelled

Bruce opened the door to one of their trucks. The other White Fang soldiers got on the back of the supply truck, and Bruce drove like a mad man down the forest, with the flaming mess that was their base fading out of sight.

"Do you think we lost that thing?!" A female White Fang member asked

"Where do you think that thing came from?" A mouse faunus added

"Don't know, don't care, whatever that thing is, it didn't--" Before the leader of the group could finish, an explosion flipped the truck over, and the passengers fell off the back.

Bruce groaned as he opened the door. He unbuckled his seat belt and crawled out of the truck. He stood up. He looked around to see everyone else struggling to get back on their feet.

Bruce grabbed a rifle and looked around as he helped some of his colleagues up on their feet.

The groups leader grunted as he got up, and he picked up a rifle and yelled, "Let's move!" Before walking with two others ahead of the main group

Bruce looked behind him to see everyone else on their feet and are trying to catch up with their leader

Bruce sighed before joining the main group.

———

The White Fang soldiers have been walking for about fifteen minutes. Some of them were either wounded or dead. Some had broken bones or a declining mental state.

Bruce sighed before turning around to check if humans or Grimm or whatever that attacked them was watching them.

After a few seconds, Bruce spotted a tall grey figure crouched behind a tree. Bruce panics and falls on his ass. He looked in the same direction where he saw the figure again, only to see that it was gone.

Bruce blinked twice before getting up. He turned around to see his comrades were ahead of him. Bruce got up and began to gouge to his group when he saw the grey figure again, this time looking directly at him

Bruce panics, he aims his gun at the figure and opens fire. The figure turned into tiny fragments as it quickly disintegrated, Bruce then heard gunfire and yelling in the distance

Bruce ran towards the sounds to see multiple corpses of his fallen comrades and saw that one of them was currled up in the fetal position, mumbling words to herself as the battle raged on

"Where is—" before the leader of the group could finish a strey bullet hit him directly in the head

Bruce panics as he sees the figure holding a strange looking gun. The barrel of said gun had smoke coming out of it.

Bruce saw the figure disappeared, almost like a blur. He could even begin to comprehend how fast this thing was before he saw blood splatter all over his body from the White Fang soldier that was in front of him

Bruce dropped his gun as he fell to the ground. Bruce then got up and ran deeper into the woods, constantly apologizing to himself due to the fact that he had to leave his comrades behind because of his fears

Bruce hid behind a tree so he could catch his breath while silently praying to any diety, watching over him to protect him

The White Fang soldier was forced to stop as he opened his eyes to see the same figure he saw from before standing over him, Bruce screamed in horror as he saw the thing responsible for his groups demise

The thing had multiple pouches on its chest, two identical shoulders, a strange device on its right arm, its right leg had what he could only assume was medical equipment, a grey and silver color scheme, and a gold visor

The thing looked like a machine, and its emotionless silver face looked down at him. His gaze pierced through his soul, which only made his anxiety worsen

Bruce felt the machine grab his neck with one arm, and the next thing he knew, the machine snapped his neck as if it were a twig.

———

Six dropped the body of the White Fang soldier. He looked back at the massacre he had made to see that the girl he saw in the fetal position was still there. Six walked up to her, and the girl looked up at him and screamed when she saw that he was getting closer to her

"P-please don't kill me!" The girl began as tears building up within her eyes, "I'll give you anything, anything!"

Six didn't respond. All he did was walk closer to her. "Six, she's just a rookie, a kid. You don't have to kill her." Vile said through the spartans helmet

"I know, Vile." Six replied as he got closer to the girl, "p-please, I-I surrender, I surrender!" The girl yelled with tears now running down her face.

Multiple questions filled the girls head as the titan came closer to her. She was going to beg the Spartan to spare her until.

*BANG*

A gunshot was heard. The girl had a hole in the center of her forehead as her blood and parts of her brain splattered on the tree behind her. Six heard similar excuses before. During his early headhunting career, he spared some insurrectionist in the past, only for them to go back on their word and cause trouble. Then came some operations with incompetent commanding officers, and then came a few traitors that he had once trusted. He didn't want to leave loose ends, especially in a world such as Remnant.

Six holstered his magnum before turning to one of the corpses. The Spartan grabbed his combat knife from the back of a raccoon faunus and placed it back into its sheath, Six got up and walked away from the massacre he made.

———

Noble Six hid behind a tree. That was two out of three White Fang foward operating bases he had just taken out, and now he is at the third and final FOB.

Six checked his ammunition. It looked as if he had enough rounds to last him until the end of the operation. At least he's resourceful enough to use their weaponry against them.

And yes, the weapons of Remnant may not be as useful or as powerful as UNSC weaponry, but it is still useful nonetheless, and the fact that there was no UNSC FOB or ship for him to replenish his ammunition, that made the use of enemy weapons much more important.

Six looked at the base. He spotted multiple dropships getting ready to take off. Six noticed the sun dropping. It would make his job a little easier, but he remembered that a faunus's sighed is almost like a spartans augmented sight since they can see in the dark as well.

Six activated his active camouflage module and advanced to the White Fangs base. The spartan noticed two White Fang guards near a lake, Six pulled out his combat knife and made his way to the guards. He can hear their conversations more clearly when he got closer.

———

Explosions rang out throughout the FOB. White Fang soldiers ran to their positions as they tried to put out the fires out and get their wounded away from the damaged structures

A thunderous roar was heard as a White Fang soldier fell to the floor with a bullet hole in his head.

Six ran out of his cover and advanced upon the White Fang soldiers. The terrorists opened fire upon the spartan, but their bullets did little to no effect on the MJOLNIR combat armor

Six raised his DMR and fired off three bullets, and not even a second later, three bodies fell to the ground with blood pouring from their heads

"What the hell is that thing?!" One of the White Fang soldiers asked as she fired off her rifle at the spartan before being punched in the gut by Six. The snake faunus vomited blood before collapsing on the ground

Six moved at tremendous speed. The White Fang soldiers could barely keep up with him. Six threw a dust grenade at one of the dropships, and said dropship exploded in a cloud of Fire dust

Six turned around to see a gorilla faunus aiming a rocket launcher at him. The White Fang soldier opened fire, sending out one rocket. Six doudged the rocket and said rocket hit another dropship before it had a chance to take off, killing all of its passengers in the process

Six ducked and rolled on the ground before getting up and getting behind a female Shark faunus before twisting her neck with his bare hands

"You're gonna pay for that, you monster!" A male honey badger faunus yelled before charging the spartan with his semblance. The faunus's semblance augmented his strength and reaction time, making it a bit difficult for the hyper-lethal vector to hit him

But the faunus fell like everyone else, Six turned to see the command tent, and the Spartan saw a lion faunus pulling out his scroll, most likely calling for backup, but to no avail

Vile had jammed the base before Six got within a miles reach of the base. When the lion faunus looked at him, he ran into the tent, most likely getting a weapon of sorts

Six ran to the tent. The White Fang soldiers couldn't land a single shot at him, and the shots that did land didn't even slow him down

Six ran into the tent, magnum raised. His spartan time made everything move in slow motion. He looked around the room and saw four White Fang soldiers. They were most likely the one's in command. Six aimed his Magnum and let out four shots, and the commanders all fell to the ground one by one

Six turned around to narrowly doudge a rocket that was about to hit his face. The rocket had the force of two concussion rifle rounds or at least a gravity hammer, and if that hit the spartan in the head, then it would have killed him, the rocket blew up away from the tent and into an abandoned building used as storage from the White Fang

Six rushed out of the tent and charged at what remained of the White Fang forces

———

The last White Fang soldier fell to the ground, his magnums explosive rounds made half the faunus' head explode.

"Vile, status." Six ordered

"All targets neutralized, Six." The "smart" AI replied

"What's the status in Vale?" Six asked

"There had been an incident during one of the maches in Amity. A boy named: Mercury Black had to be sent to the hospital, Yang Xiao Long was the one responsible for his condition." Vile replied

Six checked his ammunition counter to see that he had seven bullets left in his rifle. Six looked around one more time before sprinting out of the base so he could get to the warehouse.
