@Avanhelsing@AgentFallenSoul@Imaginary@Puffhead@ArenaSnow@_Middle_@tabbycat@kagethekiller@SheriffLlama@CLIW@CallaLily@MatParker1711@smarty0114@karamonnom@SatsukiNau and Sky were over scanning the areas outside the wall when Tri burst in through the door, shaking like no one's business. His face was pale and he could barely talk. Tri would've fallen if Sky hadn't caught him at the last minute. "What's wrong, Tri?" Sky asked. Tri shook his head, gasping for air, but as Sky turned Tri's neck, he noticed the burnt black mark across Tri's neck and he almost threw Tri away from him in fear. Tri looked up as his friend.
"It's back," Tri murmured before passing out. Nau stared at Tri before looking back up at Sky. Sky didn't even look at his boss. He lifted one hand and pressed it to his ear, speaking urgently into the microphone. "We need an paramedic in the scanner wing now!" Sky gently laid Tri on the ground, staring down at his friend.
"How is it back?!" Sky snarled out of frustration, anger, and a little bit of fear. "I thought Cru killed it!"
"Obviously not," Nau snapped. "Now stop dealing with that. We need to get as many people out passed the wall as we can and find that damn Anomalous!"
Sky glanced over at the security cameras and saw some of the Recruits running by or talking with each other. He jerked his chin toward the screens. "What about them?"
Nau narrowed his eyes at Sky, running a hand through his black hair as he sucked in a breath. "What about them?"
"They're one of the best classes we've had here. We need as many people as possible, so why not them?"
"We can't risk sending them out there, into danger!"
"But we need the numbers! Look, we'll split up the groups. I'll take six, Kym can take six, and you can take six. The more people we have out there, the easier it will be to find this thing and keep it from killing more of us!" Not waiting for a response, Sky walked over to the intercom. "Attention, all Guards. The Death Anomalous has once again plagued our forest. We need to get everyone out there now. I want all Elite Guard members on the motorcycles and any other guard in the Jeeps." He paused, waiting for the signal that most of the Guards had left the building. It took all of five minutes. He then pressed the button for the intercom again and said, "Alright, listen up Recruits. This may be your first night, but you will be doing what no other Recruit has on their first night: you're going out into the field. Now, listen for your names because you will be paired with either Kym, Nau, or myself. You will be going in groups of six. I want all of you up on the roof in ten minutes, dressed in your Guard outfits. Stop by the weapons room on the way and choose pick out a pistol and then your weapon of choice. Got it?"
Sky took a deep breath and said, "Alright, Lincoln, Citrine, Logan, Sarah, Chess, and Seril, you are going with Kym. Finn, Derric, Estella, Alda, Paige, and Zeph, you guys are going with Nau. Colt, Dyana, Nya, Tarvas, Lillith, and Mason, you all are with me. I want you all up on the roof in the next ten minutes. You aren't there, we leave you behind and you are going home. Now move it!" Sky dropped his finger off the intercom and looked at Nau. Both of them were already in their Guard uniforms, readying to head out, because they actually had a tour tonight.
"What if... what if we see
him out there?" Nau asked, slightly worried.
Sky grabbed a pistol, filling up a cartridge with bullets and loaded the pistol. He cocked it and looked at Nau. "Then we do what we were supposed to do five years ago... We put a bullet through his skull."
