Night 3:45 Am

ARDORNIA CITY

In heavy rain, A military plane lands on the landing strip at the outskirts of the Ardonia city, which has now become a combat station. Soldiers having the band of the F.R.A.C. and Defense corp on the sleeves of their battle suit start unloading containers from the plane at the outpost.

Hugo (moving one of the containers) - Damn!!! they are heavy.

Mark puts a container aside Hugo’s.

Mark - Feels like a homecoming.

Hugo (Looking at the water on his boots) - Yeah.

Miguel - Don’t stop, we have more to offload.

Carlie (puts the next container) - Captain called all of us for a briefing in the mission room.

As Captain Dutch comes in the mission room the atmosphere becomes tense

Mark (assuring Hugo) - Don't worry, Hugo. We've been through tough spots before, and I'll make sure you come back in one piece.

Hugo (Looking concerned) - Are you sure you're fine, Mark? This mission seems riskier than usual for you.

Liam (Smiling) - Well, at least he cares about you, Hugo. It's a brotherly bond.

Arthur (Calming the group) - No need to worry, you all. We're stationed far away from the main horde of headhunters. We'll be alright.

Victor - Hey guys, Keep your voices down, the captain is about to start.

Captain Dutch - As we all know, we have lost contact with the research site, and things have taken a dark turn. The horde of the headhunters attacked the research site and the areas around them, and chaos is ensuing. But here's where you come in. As we are low in numbers, The higher-ups at HQ have made the call, to both the soldiers of the defense corp and the FRAC and it's your time to shine. We're sending in the new company of soldiers, and that means each and every one of you. Our mission is clear - we're going in to rescue the researchers and retrieve the vital research that's hanging in the balance. This won't be a stroll in the park; we're dealing with the unknown here. But I trust each one of you to hold your ground and bring our people back…..You are the best this military has to offer, and you have all been trained for this day. I know it's risky, and I won't sugarcoat it – it's going to be tough. But remember, we're a team, and we've got each other's backs. We don't leave anyone behind. Those researchers are counting on us, and so is the fate of the research they've worked so hard on. We're going into the heart of it, and we're bringing our people home. Let's show this beastly fucker that they've picked the wrong fight. 

Soldiers (together) - Yes Sir!!!

Victor - Listen Hugo, There is a high possibility that we are all going our separate ways, so try to see through the end all on your own. If I see you at the end of the mission you have my respect.

Hugo - How are you so sure that you will come back.

Victor - I have confidence in myself.

Mark - Wow I never knew confidence is a synonym to desertion in your dictionary.

Victor (Annoyed) - what?

Captain (addressing the commotion) - It's good to live every moment, but don’t divert your attention from what is necessary. Now as to the plan of the operation

The screen behind the captain lights up.

Captain - We've got the mission all planned out, and it's time to execute it with precision. Here's the rundown: The mission has a dual objective, which will be carried on by 2 companies of soldiers along with a backup company; The first company of the offense corp lead by me, we'll be taking the lead on this one (Pointing on screen). Our objective is to rescue the researchers and scientists held captive at the research site near the Koira mining area, which is a high risk area. We're counting on your expertise and the power of the EXOZ to get the job done swiftly and safely. 

the FRAC soldiers, along with the 2nd company of the offense corp lead by Captain June Connors, you've got a crucial task ahead. Your mission is to secure the headhunter research stored in a facility within the city. We are counting on the skills of the FRAC to track down what's necessary and what is not, in addition with the skill of the offense corp to make better use of the surroundings.  Finally, those who remain will hold their positions at the outskirts of the city, ready to provide backup if needed. Your role is just as important as the others. We need to ensure we have every angle covered. You all will be designated your company soon. Remember, teamwork is key. Watch each other's backs and stay focused on the mission at hand. you know your assignments. Stay sharp, stay vigilant, and most importantly, stay safe out there.

Soldier 1 - Sir, understood. We'll move in and extract the researchers without hesitation.

Soldier 2 - Sir, we're ready to move out and secure the facility. We won't let you down.

Captain - Alright then, soldiers, today is the day to show these motherfucking animals what we're made of.

Inside the City 

7:00 Am

The convoy of military trucks loaded with arms and weapons moves from within the city. Liam, Victor and Mark are in the front 2 trucks as the soldiers of the 1st company. The middle 2 trucks are the backup soldiers which includes Emma, Lana, Dylan and others the last 2 trucks are of the soldiers of the 2nd company along with the FRAC soldiers including Hugo, Arthur, Sophia, Samuel. After a moment the last 2 trucks change their Direction toward the facility, whereas the other 4 trucks move forward.

Hugo (thinking) - Don’t you die out there guys.

The trucks of the 2nd company reach the designated facility and they start loading their gears and heads to start the operation. 

Arthur and Hugo, with guns in hand, notices security cameras outside the facility are still working and state the same to the captain.

Arthur - Captain the security cameras are still working.

June - what do you mean?

June looks over the cameras

June - Alright! Hugo you go in the security room, if the security cameras of the outside are working the inside one has to work. If it is working you have to monitor everything. In the worst case scenario if a horde comes our way or we get trapped inside the building, you have to guide us to safety. Lin, Anthony you go with Hugo, rest will move to find the research. UNDERSTOOD?

Soldiers - Yes Mam!!!

June - Let’s go then.

Arthur loads his gun.

Meanwhile, the 1st four trucks of the convoy are about to reach the other outskirts of the city. As they approach the area, a large horde of headhunters becomes visible. The horde sees the convoy coming and rushes toward the convoy. Looking at the horde the convoy stops.

Soldier (shouting) - Incoming horde! Brace yourselves!

The truck opens from the side and the soldiers open fire on the approaching horde

Soldier - don’t let them come near the convoy.

Liam (firing a machine gun) - SHOOT

Mark picks up a rocket launcher and shoots on the horde, wiping out many of the headhunters, Another soldier comes with a rocket to reload the launcher, Mark picks up his AR and starts shooting. A soldier shooting see a car in the air coming to his face.

Soldier - WHAT THE HELL!!!

Mark jump and pushes the soldier out of the trajectory.

Soldier (female) - They came through, they are about to reach us.

Max - what do we do Captain? 

Captain Dutch (Commands) - Someone engage in the EXOZ.

Emma and Lana along with other rushes to wear the EXOZ. As the horde comes through, Emma Looks at a soldier fallen on the ground and calls Lana. Lana sees Emma’s eyes pointing at the direction of the fallen soldier. 

Lana - I am ready.

Emma pulls the sword from her EXOZ container, and engages her thrusters to rescue the soldier. As the headhunter is about to throw his hand to cut the soldier in half, Lana wraps her laser flail around his arm and Emma slices the headhunter in half.
