Chapter 1
Containment Zone Aleph
Downtown
Two young women one being 20 years old and the other 19.
The younger had flowing white hair that faded into red and tied in a ponytail, one yellow-coloured eye and one red eye, she wore a pair of form-fitting black shorts, red stockings, boots, a long-sleeved red shirt underneath a winter-woodland camo jacket which had a shoulder-pad to her right with a red half-cape with some flames sween to it, as well as some knee and elbow pads, fingerless gloves, and a hip holster for her pistol, and a belt with several ammo mags.
Next to her was her sister, she had long white hair with slight tints of blue near the tips. She has yellow eyes and a pale skin complexion. She normally wears a blue and white uniform top with a shoulder pad on her left side which has flowing pieces of clothing hanging down. She has long sleeves with gloves as well as blue stockings and black boots. She has various accessories including hair pieces, a holster for a gun, and what appears to be magazines on her right hip.
And they were walking down a riverbank with some abandoned cars here and there some as well as lamp posts, and the odd railing were even floating, and a bridge looking overhead.
And the area had some crystalline objects that looked like ice coming out of the ground.
"HQ, we've spotted something, could be the Mistilteinn escape pod." A young woman stated over the radio.
"Roger that Margo and it dropped right in the middle of the Contaminated downtown, sending you and Lyfe the coordinates. Sorry, but we didn't have any time to assign you two any adjutant so you'll have to make do with me. Anyways, I strongly recommend that you make haste the Titagen levels are rising." Caroline replied, and the duo checked their datapads map and the fastest waypoint to the location of the downtown.
"Let's get going." Lyfe said as the sisters sprinted for it.
"This way." Margo said as they passed through an alleyway while shooting at a pair of Changed.
Zombies that had been exposed too much to Titagen and had begun to sport crystalline growths around their bodies, and their limbs turning to weapons.
"Wait, get to cover." Lyfe said as she beckoned her sister, and Margo did so, taking cover behind a trash bin that was behind the railings, and lo and behold several Changed stood in a parking lot.
"Would you look at that, you thinking what I'm thinking?" Margo asked Lyfe who nodded.
"On my mark, shoot the explosive barrels." Lyfe quietly said, and the sisters aimed their guns at the barrels.
"Fire." Lyfe said.
And they squeezed the triggers sending a burst of bullets at the barrels, killing most of them.
"Area clear." Margo said as she got up.
But neither of the sisters kept their guard down, because it seemed too easy, as they made their way down by a ledge suddenly as 6 Changed and 5 Changed blasters appeared.
The two took cover in one of the cars and the Blasters started shooting the grunts started charging at them, and the sisters started firing in return.
"Well sis, will you do the honours?" Margo asked Lyfe.
"Thought you never asked." Lyfe said as lightning coursed through her body and a spear appeared on her right.
And she charged them, killing the Changed in one fell swoop.
"Carol, the Parking lot's cleaned up, no more "Changed" coming our way." Lyfe said over the comms.
"That's good to hear. I suggest that you gun it, with the levels of Titagen rising a Titan might show up." Caroline.
"Copy that." Margo said, and the duo did just that, they ran and gunned it while shooting whatever Changed stood between them and their objective.
"Almost there guys. You should see a red smoke signal right about... now." Caroline said as the sisters saw a red smoke coming from the escape capsule.
"Well there it is, Caroline, will we be getting any backup?" Margo asked her.
"They are on their way as we speak E.T.A. 15 minutes." Caroline informed.
"I think you should tell them to speed it up, the snowfall is growing." Lyfe told Margo, who looked at the snow and the snowfall was growing in intesity.
"Roger, sending request now." Caroline said, but a sense of unease was over her, hoping that the backup would arrive in time and not have to deal with a sudden Titan appearing.
"Crap, Carol we've got ourselves a Titan here, callsign: Hela!" Margo exclaimed as she and Lyfe started shooting at it.
"Got it! The team is picking up speed and might arrive in 9 minutes, until then make sure that the Titan doesn't damage the Escape pod." Caroline informed them.
"Get them to hurry it up then!" Lyfe forcefully said.
"Let me Out." A distorted voice told Margo.
"Shut it, Tyr." Margo told her Manifestation, as she dodged a blast attack from the Hela, and it turned its attention to Lyfe as it teleported right in front of her, and slammed its fist down on her.
Lyfe was fast enough to dodge it.
"Why do you always have to be so uncooperative." Tyr muttered but said no other words as he possessed Margo's body as it became engulfed in flames and an exoskeleton with odd runes, a sword appeared in her hand and charged the Titan.
The Hela sensing the Danger shifted its attention to Margo the Titan took a sweep at her and the Possessed Margo ran up the Hela, with a great leap impaled her sword onto the Titan, and bisected it in half.
"Margo?" Lyfe asked her sister as slowly walked up to her sister with a worried look as she stood over the dissipating Titan, but she could feel Odin reacting to Tyr.
"Mom, Dad, come on, Lyfe will start her match soon we can't miss it!" A Younger Margo said as she pulled on her mother's arm.
"Calm down Margo, we still have time until then." She heard her father walking right behind them.
"Then we'll lose the best seats, you know how folks will sit wherever they want!" Margo told him.
"Mar... Ma... Margo!" She was pulled by her memories by Lyfe who was shaking her off her stupor.
"I hate it when he does that." Margo muttered.
"I know, but are you alright?" Lyfe asked her.
"Yeah, I am, aside from Tyr doing what he did, I am alright." Margo said.
"Then let's get our Target to safety." as the duo walked over to the escape pod, and opened it, revealing a guy wearing a hoodie, he had brown hair and eyes, a pale complexion, and an average albeit athletic build.
He wore what seemed like an environmental suit by how thick it appeared, with a hoodie, baggy pants that ended strapped to his calf, and a pair of boots.
"Wakey wakey sleepy head, it seems that the crash didn't bother you at all." Margo commented as she shook the man awake.
"Margo? Lyfe?" He asked as he opened and closed his eyes.
"Good to see that you remember us, Hector." Margo casually greeted.
Then the trucks and utility vehicles drove in and stopped in the opening.
"Well it's about time you assheads arrived, we just had to deal with a Titan!" Margo exclaimed as the Yggdrasil security personnel walked up on them with open arms and her Assault Rifle hanging by her hands.
The security personnel were heavily armed and armoured, some sporting powered armour that covered their whole body, and some had weapons that were to be mounted on trucks or technicals.
"Is the Target secure?" The Security officer asked her, ignoring the part about the Titan.
"Yes, he's alright, but we have to get him to HQ ASAP for a quick medical evaluation." Lyfe told the men, as she helped Hector walk up on his feet.
"Alright." The man said as he opened the rear door of the JLTV, and Lyfe helped Hector inside.
"I hope director τ, has been informed that Yggdrasil's former director of the Security Department, has been secured and will be arriving shortly." Margo asked the security agent.
"Caroline informed her shortly after you and Wednsdey had been sent on the mission to recover the Former Dictor."
"Eh, good enough." Margo said as she sat on that with Lyfe sitting in the middle.
