Battle of Shabashok

  Monasterii Sector, Shabashok, Special Land Zone

  Bloodforce-13, Unified Coalition

  Lysandra Marindan, is a vampire special operator from Lu'aria, she commands Bloodforce-13, a unit of special forces vampires, like her they all vampires who come from Lu'aria, tasked with unconventional warfare and surgical strikes. But The coalitions' objective was to stop the Sorean forces from encircling the city of Shabashok.

  Combat units like Bloodforce-13, were deployed in the Monasterii sector of Shabashok, where they have to stop the sorean army from threatening the cities flanks.

  The units specialized skills was relegated to do grunt work of holding the apartment overlooking the main route of Monasterii, if Lysandras Bloodforce can hold the apartment they control the sector.

  Due to manpower shortages, Lysandra was assisting a simple supply run to base and back to Bloodforce-13. When their truck was ambushed by soreans who riddled the truck with machinegun fire, Lysandra and the survivors escaped into the roadside drainage ditch.

  "Ambush!" cried a coalition soldier as he returns fire "We're pinned down by sores!"

  "Federation bastards are shooting at us from the Reszar housing across the road!"

  Once the shock and chaos of the ambush wore out, Lysandra and the survivors were able to analysis the situation. Bullets ricochet around the truck, and gunfire erupted from the houses across the road. The Reszar houses as the ambush survivors said.

  Lysandra pulls out her radio "Lid, we got Feds in the Rezsar residential area, near the main road!"

  Lid, her full name Liddia Keroni, was a communication specialist in Bloodforce-13. since Rezsar is a residential area in Monasterii. Lysandra can call her team for assistance.

  After making that call and seeing the coalition forces were still pinned down in the roadside ditch, figures in grey uniforms emerge from the houses, moving from one cover to the other in great numbers and guns. There was no stopping them.

  "Incoming Air strike!" bellowed a voice, as a jet screamed overhead followed by bombing, the cascading explosions destroyed buildings and gardens. Only silence remained.

  "Good job Liddia, you just saved our asses!"

  Although the bombing run did not hit the exact coordinates, as some of the houses that held the ambushers remained mostly intact, it does appear the bombs made the soreans withdrew with losses and will not be back. For now.

  "Relief will pick us up captain, we'll cover you while we wait here" the supply soldier said, Lysandra gave a quick thanks before leaving, dashing towards the mall.

  She quickly navigates down to the basement. Where she meets three vampires, two of whom are wearing VR headsets and playing on the controller, while the last is fiddling with the communication equipment.

  "Liddia, there's more Soreans in Rezsar" Lysandra asks, "What's the status on Crazy Crown and Sword?"

  "Already reported, Cap..." Liddia answers with weariness "Both teams are holding the apartments, but the bastards are not relenting in their attacks..."

  Bloodforce-13 is divided into two teams; the first team called "Crazy Crown" is commanded by Lysandra, the detachment commander of BF-13. The second team called "Crazy Sword" is commanded by Daphny, the assistant commander of Bloodforce-13.

  "Alright, Lid, tell kat I'll be there with Morgen..." Lysandra says, catching her breath before realization hits her "Speaking of Morgen, where is she?"

  Morgen Koric, is Lysandra's intelligence specialist in Crazy Crown team, who analyzes intelligence and helps coordinate operations with Lysandra in the field.

  "The sores took out the antenna" Polina speaks, still operating with game controllers and VR headsets "She went out to repair it not long ago"

  Polina Vemass, holds the same specialty as Morgen, only assigned for Crazy Sword. Both she and Morgen work together to gather intelligence from the front and relay back to Bloodforce-13.

  "Ah dammit!" Liddia screams as all her equipment goes static

  Liddia twiddled the varies controls, before smacking it in frustration, cursing aloud about the sorean electronic warfare interfering with their communications. Lysandra begins gathering ammunition and magazines.

  Morgen enters the basement, disheveled and drained. Lysandra does not need to ask what delayed her. The enemy drones flying overhead dropping grenades or diving for the kill, takes a toll for even immortal vampires.

  Lysandra tosses her a blood pack "Drink this..." Morgen greedily slurps it up, she slides down against the wall in bliss and weariness.

  Liddia already switched to local channels and is relaying the preparation orders. Morgen is alarmed "The Soreans are coming at us again?" Lysandra answers with confirmation, as she finishes loading her rifle "We're going to join Daph and the others at the apartment, I am leaving Polina and Liddia to coordinate with the drones"

  "Copy that, Ly" Morgen nods, loading her own weapon "follow me, the sores have eyes on the road" she says as the two rush up the stairs "we're going to toss smoke and rush for it"

  Since morgen said that the roads to the apartments were dangerous, they deployed smoke in a wide arch and used their vampiric ability to rush through the field between the mall and the apartment.

  The two enter the apartment sidewall that was blown open by a Sorean tank round in a previous skirmish. Upon entering they notice the team leader of Crazy Sword; Daphny Rageon, kneeling by the main entrance with her rifle pointing outside. Lysandra and Morgen stake up behind the blonde operator who continues to stares through her rifle optics.

  "What's happening over here Daphny?" Lysandra asks,

  "Sores across the street are holding up in Gasram. They've been taking potshots at us all day." Lysandra looks across the streets to see partially shattered houses. A residential area called Gasram. The neighborhood seemed empty, but everyone knew better.

  "What's your assessment?"

  "It's a shit-show Ly, we just had a shootout with the sores, they hit us with mortars and rockets, our girls upstairs had to go down to the second floor, cause the fourth floor is gone"

  The entire unit was scattered across the apartment. Because the enemy had a wide assortment of weapons, that can easily level the building to its foundations.

  Although, the apartment can provide protection them, in the event of a lucky shot, it was deemed necessary to have one or two of theirs die than to have the entire team killed.

  But to have the top floor destroyed and the entire unit on the first and second floor is very dangerous. All the soreans have to do is take out the support pillars on the first floor and the whole team will be buried in rubble.

  "Oh, that's just great!" Morgen scowls at their tactical disadvantage

  "Anything else?" Lysandra continues to peek from Daphny shoulders

  Daphny grunts in dissatisfaction, she moves back from the entrance "Yeah, the recon boys in the nearby sector spotted a lot infantry and vehicles gathering at Kapisto" she points out the window

  Lysandra peeks out the window, after a moment of searching, she saw a cluster of houses, partially obscured by the dense foliage in the distance. It was originally a residential housing named Kapisto.

  Surveying the situation Lysandra got the picture. The soreans were slowly encroaching on their position from Gasram directly and a strong enemy force coming from the Kapisto flank.

  To make it worse, there were sorean soldiers occupying Reszar in unknown numbers, behind the apartment, leaving room for a potential rear attack. What a pleasant situation, they plan to hold one half destroyed building with hope of friendly reinforcements, but nothing ever goes to plan.

  "Morgen, we'll scatter Crazy Crown, and hold the apartment at all angles," Lysandra says lying against the wall, rubbing her forehead. "Daph, pull crazy sword back and hold the mall, I don't want those sores in Reszar to cut us off,"

  Daphny agreed and left, calling her team on the radio to join her at the community mall.

  "Command wants us to hold this sector at all costs..." Morgen rubs her face "But the fly boys are pulling out of our sector, leaving us exposed to heavy ordnance."

  The unit leader knew what Morgen was talking about, according to sorean doctrine, if soreans units encounter fierce resistance and are unable to break the defenses, the soreans will bring in artillery to flatten everything.

  "If that happens, we'll pull out" Lysandra simply states

  Wishing everything went accordingly.
