The Story
The Cataclysmic Event...simply known as "Dorma Animus" it destroyed life...all that was left were us humans...and them...The Darkened, anyone who died in Dorma became one of those undead beasts. They often take the form of large four legged beasts. But at times...human. This was not the only problem a group, "The New Order" took command of the survivors like a dicatorship and what happened to those against them? You can figure that alone by yourself...their masive Imperial City where they control the people, and lie to them about us...We are "Dusk Dawn" and we know the true nature. We have started a program simply called "Especrius Contracts" in which youths can contract with a spiritual creature called "Esper" and then use their powers in battles...however New Order deems this a Heretic Black Art and we must be "Cleansed" of our sin. They developed anti-Esper equipment to make killing Contractors easier but...its still nowhere near our level. Theres more of them and few of us. So it balances itself out in an endless struggle...Espers however can only appear to small children, therefore the contracts must be made at very young ages under 10 years of life. There are academies to train Esper Conductors to become soldiers one day. However this is not mandatory and is left up to the child and his family. They will not force someone to fight if they do not have the will.

-Open-

"Saica, you done analyzing it all yet?" Leon asked as he jumped down from some old wreckage, The young girl had her laptop open and was using the camera to analyze the artifact they found, "Seems like it's still worth taking back, we should take it Leon." She said as she closed the laptop and put it in the backpack she had, Leon grabbed the rock and set it in her bag. "Alright let's get moving back." he said as they began moving along the vast wastelands, Home was relatively nearby so it was doubtful they had to worry about any NOs.

-Back Underground-

The lift doors opened, "Leon!" One of their instructors yelled cheerful they made it back safely. "We're elite trainees for a reason Ms. Naja." Leon said calmly his rifle over his shoulder, "More importantly..." Saica said and took out a glowing rock, the one from earlier. "We found this while on patrol around the perimeter of the main lift doors...Any idea what it might be?" Naja took it and examined it, "hmm...Ore?" Leon folded his arms. "That special?" Naja nodded as she handed it to a guard ordering him to study it, "You guys discovered a new ore, we can make even better stuff now!" She said with a wide grin. "Well for the time being you are both on break for this incredible find. So go have fun." They both bowed and saluted respectfully. "Yes instructor!" The woman walked off as both Leon and Saica stood back up and smiled to one another.
*Artorias lays on the branch of an old mesquite tree overlooking a great barren valley below. The light shade from the tree was a nice break from the harsh heat of the midday, he scans the valley with his scope to look for any targets*

Wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, Draix fixed the strap of his rifle, making it more comfortable on his shoulder. It had been a long scouting session today... more so than usual. His Superiors had ordered they expand the area, however this was issued after an attack on a trading caravan approaching the city had left a sizable dent in the food supply; leaving many without food.
The Harbinger exhaled softly at the thought, then pushed it aside; there were more important tasks at hand. His icy gaze spotted a tree to his far right, one he remembered seeing one of his squad mates climb up when they arrived on the plateau. Walking over, he turned his attention upwards and spotted Artorias in the thick branches. Seeming to be glued to his rifle scope.
Draix's tone was cool, but showing signs of creeping exhaustion from the long scouting session,
"Seeing anything up there...? Because if not, HQ said we oughta head back soon. Curfew and all."
*Artorias silently sighs*
"No sir, nothing by shrubs for miles. Wait.. I think I see something"
*He refocuses the scope to get a better picture on what could be a person*

Well, this was it. She was out of things to catch up on. Normally, Bandit wouldn't be too worried about not having anything to do, since most of the time, she felt overwhelmed with tasks and research. Neither of which she was fond of. She enjoyed being out there, fully armed, ready to take anyone down that isn't one of her brothers or sisters.
With a huff, she made her way through her living quarters to her bed and plopped down to stare at the manufactured metal walls that made up her quarters, that measured about the same as a one bedroom loft. It even had a decent view from her little balcony. When she walked out onto it, she could see basically the whole complex, in all of its black and blue lighted glory. When it wasn't annoying to look at, it was really quite beautiful.

Bandit sat back up, looking around her living space, and decided that she would try to get on patrol early, since she wasn't scheduled for another eight hours. Eight hours of nothing to do would kill her, that's for sure. She walked over to her "coat closet" and armed herself with all of her weapons and armor, then proceeded to make her way down to the observation deck, where all of the higher ups spent all of their time.


"Hey Naja!" She called to the instructor, "Requesting to patrol the area, as my duties and research have been completed and input into the database."

Naja turned to see one of the soldiers, "Sure go ahead, and if you see any more of these bring em back. We can use them to strengthen the new Contractors Esper abilities to a higher level." She said holding up a glowing purple rock. "Leon and Saica found it while they were out earlier. Truly excellent Trainees..." she said proud of her class of trainees best students. Even if Saica was unable to control Zwei that easily. That's what her sniping skills were for. "Miss Naja may we go back out as well? There was something I would like to confirm." Leon spoke as Saica was standing near him with her hood up like always. "Well I mean you're on free time so if you wanna use that for more work...I guess it's alright...you won't be given extra food for it though we need to spread it among the elderly and sick..." Saica shook her head, "I agreed to be a Contractor so I could protect Dusk Dawn City not lounge in a comfortable cafe miss Naja." Naja sighed, then looked to Bandit. "Can you...keep an eye on them out there? I know they are capable and have a decent kill record on NOs but still...a sandstorm is coming and if things get rough..well buddy system and all..."

Bandit nodded, "I'll keep an eye on them. I've looked into the radar readings on this storm. It created a solid block on the radars, so it'll be a doozey. I know of several cave entrances in the scouting area that we can duck into if things get too bad." She nodded toward the trainees, Leon and Saica, "You two might want to find some better gear and some goggles. You may have been through a sandstorm before, but if this one hits as hard as I'm thinking it's going to, you'll need all out survival gear."

Once everyone was set and ready to go, Bandit and her new posse made their way to the surface, scanning the area before getting out into the open. Her compact bow was on her back, easily accessible if anyone came into view that wasn't supposed to be there. She would most likely see them before the trainees, simply due to her senses and eyesight being so sharp and long range. That may have been the reason Naja sent them out with her.

"Alright guys, don't get too far away from me. Especially when you see that storm cloud roll in. We're going to need to be within a foot from eachother finding shelter if we're out on the edge of Patrol." She warned the two, adjusting the saturation on her goggles to a sepia tone, to allow her to see figures in the distance more clearly. And by clearly, she she meant being able to tell how armed they were.

*Artorias peers through his scope slowly adjusting the focus when thunder rolls over him, he flinched and set the focous completle off. He silently kicked himself. He never used to flinch, but after that mission.. He was slipping. Rangers that slipped were recycled. He quickly resets the focus and starts over.*

Leon had his knives at his hip and the sword on the back of his waist, He had grabbed some goggles a coat to put on and protect him from the dust, he activated his Eagle's Eyes so he could see, Saica was using Overseer to monitor their course of walking. Leon looked up at the sky seeing that the sun was beginning to set a bit. Leon watched the are carefully, but wasn't finding anything to be concerned about. "Saica what are you doing?" He asked when she noticed her messing with something, "Setting another claymore..." she said before she activated it and walked away from it. She always set bombs along their path as a security measure. The claymores only detonated on enemies since they were enhanced with a ID scanner and Dusk Dawn injected everyone with a chip that differentiates them from enemies.

Draix winced when he heard his comrades rifle go off along with the thunder, peering into the tree branches at Artorias again, "Don't waste your ammo," he hissed, "Unless it's a confirmed sighting you shouldn't need to--" his voice trailed off, looking in the same direction as Artorias. Though his eyesight wasn't perfect, he managed to spot some small, dark shapes in the distance. Narrowing his eyes, Draix then readied his rifle, peering through the scope to see if he could find what his squadmate was trying to spot.
From what he could see, it was three people-shaped figures, but he couldn't get the clearest idea of whether they were D.D.'s or just some poor folk who had no means to stay in the city. Lowering the scope, he turned to face his group; addressing them all,
"There's three people heading towards this area. It's best to play it safe and head back now; we don't want to risk them being DD's and being too ill-prepared to deal with them. Let's head out."

"Saica set them off..." Saica opened her bag pulling out her Overseer and casting her hollow map, she could see 4 red dots off into the distance she then pulled out what looked like a smartphone and hit a few buttons with several ping noises for confirmation. The explosives near Draix and Artorias went off killing one of the soldiers nearest to them. "NOs...this deep in our territory?" Saica mumbled as sne put her equipment away.
*The explosion was a few hundred yards away, but this time he didn't flinch and cycled his bolt and aimed at one of the figures that was looking down on something. A phone? Detonator? Didn't matter. He decided just in case it was a bystander he aimed just above the shoulder and squeezed the trigger*

*The heavy round rides the top of Saica's shoulder, leaving a minor cut through her jacket and leaving a nasty burn, but no blood*

A high pitch sound rung in the Harbinger's ears, the explosion that was entirely too close had taken one of his fellow soldiers. The shockwave from the surprise bomb had knocked him off balance, as well as splattering what remained of the soldier onto him. With wide eyes, Draix looked to the equally shocked squadmates. Though he opened his mouth to speak, he quickly shut it as a million things began running through his mind.
Were these the only bombs in the area? How long could these have been here?
Cautiously glancing around the plateau, Draix looked to all of the team briefly,
"This kind of tech is something only DD's can make... we need to go now."
His tone was, admittedly, more uneasy as he then looked to the tree, which was a fair distance from the tree. The stress of the situation causing Draix's tone to become harsh, especially after hearing him take another shot, "Artorias, get the hell down here and let's get out of here...! We're not prepared to fight DD's with this group!"
