Abbey vaulted out of the window of yet another abandoned building, grimacing as she looked around. She had heard Cap's orders, but she had fallen behind Iron lines trying to escape her doom, and every road to retreat had been cut off. Suddenly she heard a loud automatic weapon start to fire, and she instinctively hit the dirt, covering her head. It took her a moment to realise she wasn't the target, and she flicked on her radio. "This is Abbey, I can hear automatic fire nearby, something big. Does anyone need backup?"

Nick had resorted to more scouting rather than sniping for the moment, not wanting to give his position away yet. He grabbed the radio when he heard Abbey ask about the automatic fire, truth was, he could hear it clear as day, but hadn't bothered looking for it yet. After a second of looking around, he found the machine gunner's position, and spotted a wounded man hiding behind some rubble, which wouldn't last long. "Not one of ours. But they're shooting at him, so I guess he's their enemy. How does the saying go? The enemy of my enemy is my friend?" He made some minor adjustments to his scope and trained the center on the gunner's head. He pulled the trigger and grinned behind his mask as he watched the round hit the gunner right between the eyes. "Gunner down."

Ryan knew he was about to die when suddenly he heard a sniper fire from somewhere and the machine gun went silent. He exhaled and thought, I need to thank whoever just did that. Then he rolled over and ran the rest of the way to the next building. He got in and kept going trying to get away from the approaching swarm of iron soldiers. After running for another block or two he leaned against a wall and realized he was about to pass out from blood loss. God damn it I didn't make it this far to just bleed out now. He was borderline concious sitting there against the wall.

Abbey had followed the sound, and just came round the corner as the gunner dropped. "Roger that. I see him." She said into the radio, briskly jogging across to where Ryan leaned against the wall. "You're lucky we found you, hopefully just in time, too," She said, helping to prop him up. "Come on buddy, stay with me..." Waving a hand in front of his face, she looked for any recognition in his eyes. Abbey grimaced, bringing the radio up again. "He's on the brink of passing out down here, I'll try and get him back behind our lines. Is the street clear?" Holding her rifle in one hand, she checked the clip, turning to Ryan. "We need to get out of here, its not that far...If you can walk, just nod, i can carry you if I need to..."

The Riptide's turret spun around and pointed towards the upper levels of the building Nerus had pointed out. "Canister round! Fire!" The cannon boomed once as the shot launched from the shell and began to spread, peppering the entire floor with 4cm wide steel balls, killing the Iron Soldier with the Panzerschreck and everyone in the room. "Round two! FIRE!" The cannon thundered once again, this time the shot was launched at the floor below. Windows broke as more lead balls broke through and killed anyone in the rooms.

(OOC: Don't care how thick the metal armor is. No metal armor built with WWII tech can possibly survive a bunch of 15MM wide lead balls being launched into it, let alone 40MM wide steel.)

"Godammit!" Alina while taking aim at some individuals, knowing that her comrades below were killed by the tank. From all the rumbling, that tank hit them pretty hard and no sounds were heard emerging. Not even the sound of dying breath and screams of pain. She growled, then cocked her sniper rifle. "If that's how they want to do it, I will make sure they will pay. But I can't just bring fire upon them. What if..."

A loud bang rang in the air, and Alina quickly focused her scope on a sniper who took out on of her machine gunners whom she ordered flanking the tanks as they passed into the city. She steadied her rifle and got ready to pull the trigger until..

A twisted plan began forming in her head. She hoisted her sniper rifle and aimed for her arm. She pulled the trigger and reloaded swiftly, aiming for her foot and squeezing the trigger. She had planned to immobilize and catch the attention of the sniper who took out her machine guns. He would attempt to either snipe or get her to safety. Either way he would still be in her line of fire and that would give Alina an opening. For now, she continued to torture her, slowly wiping her out and sometimes intentionally firing upon the street to intimidate the other sniper.

Ellie nodded at Amo and said, " yeah, we need an engineer. Know how to take over a Rahmos tank? That or we need some way to fight those tanks... My name is Ellie, by the way." She held her sniper rifle in her hands and reload it while she was at it. She looked at the newcomer , unsure of what to do next really. She looked at him drinking and rolled her eyes.shedding want to take it away from him, but rather then drink, why not use that as a Molotov?

Hans looked at the newcomer then said, " engineers these days. Youthink they would have the sense not to drink during a battle. Son, give me the drink please." he grasped the drink and took it out of his hands. He looked at it and then concluded, " hmmm, we could make a Molotov out of this." he ripped a shred of clothing off his uniform and made a Molotov out of it. He handed the molotov to Amo and said, " need a lighter? I'm Hans by they, and this is my son Max." he gestured towards Max and he responded, " hey there."

Somebody had run up and was helping Ryan to his feet. He heard her ask him if he could walk and even though he felt extremely weak he replied, "I can walk with a little help. I just need some...." He trailed off as he almost blacked out but then he was suddenly dropped. He heard the shot and he didn't know if his mystery savior had been shot or was just staying down to avoid the sniper. He was laying on his back and he slowly lifted up his head. He could easily see the snipers location from the muzzle flash on top of the roof. With his good arm he lifted up his rifle. It was incredibly difficult and slow but he managed to aim his gun towards the sniper. He knew there was no chance of shooting the sniper with his gun at that distance and with one arm but he was hoping that he could get close enough to force the sniper's head down. He pulled the trigger and continued firing bursts towards the roof. Each time after three bullets the aim would be completely off. In between bursts he said to the other soldier, "Hurry get out of here. I don't think this will work for long."

Baron Rip

Moving forward with his squad of golden Cross, Rip found the silence in this area deafening, in a manner of speaking. There should atleast be a little fire fight between stragglers. "The main army must be concentrating on taking the Greatholm High Command..." He said to himself as he signaled for his soldiers to advance further down the street. One of them suddenly stopped and took cover. "Unknowns spotted. Not Greatholm. I repeat, not Greatholm." Rip suddenly knew this was going to be bad. Advancing and peaking his head out of the corner, he saw what could only be some type of special forces/commandos moving silently towards the museum. "Federation?! Here?! They must be after the Archduchess! ALL UNITS! PUT DOWN THESE FEDERATION DOGS!"

Suddenly, the Golden Cross soldiers took out there swords and revolvers, charging the federation commandos. "Golden Cross?! Here?! They must be after the Archduchess! ALL UNITS! TEACH THESE SOVS A LESSON!" There semi automatic rifles made little sound thanks to silencers installed in them but the Golden Cross's heavy revolvers made a deafening BANG after every shot as the two groups began to fight amongst themselves. "Baron Karl! We have Federation Commandos! Watch your back!" Then, his fear was realized, several flares popped out of the museum, there cover was blown. "DAMN IT!" Taking a radio, Rip made a wide call to all Sovereign forces. "ALL AVAILABLE UNITS, CONVERGE ON THE MILITARY MUSEUM! BARON RANKS ORDERS!"

(Sovs is a slang agaisn't Sovereign soldiers)

Cap

The fire fight intensified as Cap was being pinned down by an ever increasing amount of conscripts. Taking another few shots at them, the bullets from his revolvers simply bounced off the conscripts plate armor. Although they fell dead if he could manage a shot to the face, the face armor was thinner then the rest. Then, his radio chirped alive. "EVERYONE HEARING THIS! THIS IS COMMANDER IN CHIEF VELENZIO OF THE GREATHOLM ROYAL MILITARY. ALL FORCES ARE TO CONVERGE ON THE MILITARY MUSEUM, NO EXCEPTIONS. THIS IS A DIRECT ORDER TO ALL HEARING THIS MESSAGE." Cap was confused a bit, taking out a radio, he tuned in to his direct superior. "Whats this about a mass call to the Museum?! Who's going to hold the front lines?!" The officer on the other end knew exactly what was going on. "Obey the order. Squad F is to move out this instant. The front lines are being abandoned."

Cap almost couldn't believe what he was hearing. "YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!" "LISTEN CAPARO! The Archduchess is in imminent danger and we have all swore loyalty to her, to sacrifice our lives if need be for the royal bloodline. The order stands." Cap simply swore under his breath. "Understood sir..." He then turned the frequency back to squad F. "You heard the orders! Everyone to the military museum!"

Advisor Tot

The sound of firefights right outside left Advisor Tot breathless and squealing. "This simply will not do!" He said in a snobbish manner as a butler brought him a bottle of wine while soldiers frantically went back and forth, preparing the defenses. "Why is the army not pushing them back? They should have shoved them out of Greatholm by now! That's what occurs when you draft worthless dirt farmers and street urchins! Cant hold the line like nobility!" He looked at a big sealed door as soldiers seemed desperate to guard it more then anything else. "Hmmph. They should be protecting me! Not that worthless child!"

Baron karl already was in on the news, via a fire fight, he and a group of the legion were in a side street. close quarters combat had already broken out. "COVER THAT DOORWAY GROUPS TWO AND THREE ON ME ON ME! he fired his tri barrel shotgun into another federation solider meanwhile the troops began picking off one after another...unfortunately for every 3 they killed another 5 came out of nowhere. Karl slammed his back up against a wall for cover. "we're too exposed! Curses... he flipped on his radio and opened up a channel to Baron Rip, "We are pinned! west side is pinned ! repeat west side is pinned! we can keep them occupied but the only way we can move is back, either that or a stalemate!" he picked up his rifle and began picking commandos off, them doing the same to his men. "COME ON YOU FEDERATION SWINE! GROUP FIVE ARROW! ARROW!"

Abbey was about to start towards Greatholme lines with Ryan as a bullet flew past, punching clean into her right arm. A moment later she felt the pain blossom from her leg as well, dropping to one knee and and letting out a small groan as pain flooded her mind, almost causing her to pass out. Bullets struck the ground around her as she rolled into the doorway of the building, barely avoiding another shot.
"God...damnit..." She muttered through clenched teeth, clutching at her injured arm. Leaning just out of the doorway she looked through her scope up at the sniper Ryan was shooting at, her sights wavering too much to make a clean shot.
"Hurry get out of here. I don't think this will work for long."
"I didn't come all this way just to see you martyr yourself. I think I can shoot her, if I just..." Abbey trailed off, lining up her sights and squeezing the trigger. She was unsure if it contacted or not, but she knew it'd be a near miss.

Arno

Arno sighed when they took away his alchohal. "Dammit. I don't want to die sober. Why deprive me of that of all things?" he said then heard the radio about he Museum. "Are the Sovs really that dumb? Who would care about that building full of old junk? Seems more like a pain to hold up in then a good place to hold up in...Bah, whatever...As for a Rhamos tank, maybe. Depends on how long I have to get to know the controls." he said, with a sigh. He then began to walk with a bit of a dizziness to it, but not much. "Let's get to that buliding full of old stuff, dunno why, but we probably should." he said as he walked towards the exit a bit more.

???

As the Advisor barked orders, there was a strange female soldier that was running past with a c96 mauser, and at the sound of the Feds attacking, she knew it was her cue and broke off a bit so that she was headed towards Tot. Now or Never...I might get a bonus if I do this perfectly. she thought, grinning as a small dagger appeared in her right hand from her sleeve and as she bumped into Advisor Tot, she took a split second to Jab him in the ribs, with a "Shut up you fat pig.", right where the lungs would be, and continued on to put it back into the sleeve and run to help with a few soldiers carrying some blockade supplies. She did look around a bit and saw no one saw her and grinned as she continued to blend in and not look suspicious while she started to find a way out of here to get to the Randevous point.

Walter's POV
Walter let out a small chuckle as the retreat order was heard. "Riptide here, falling back." As the Riptide moved out, a lone Iron Soldier popped out of cover and took aim with a Panzerschreck. Before he could even pull the trigger, the machine gun let out a burst of fire, peppering the soldier with lead. The soldier fell to the ground and was run over by the Riptide. The Riptide soon began making it's way to the Museum.

Ryan had run out of ammo just seconds before the women had shot her rifle at the enemy sniper. She said something but Ryan didn't hear what she said. He finally blacked out......

Angela removed the empty belt from her gun and tossed it on the ground. She slung the gun over her shoulder and across her back then grabbed Marcus by the back of his collar and dragged him to his feet. "Let's get out of here, you heard the orders, now move!" The two of them retreated back to where Cap was and ducked behind cover with him, Marcus providing some cover fire.

"Looks cle-" Nick was cut off by the sound of the sniper firing, he set the radio down in haste and watched as it simply fell out the window. He looked through the scope, ignoring what little he could hear of the radio from up here, and tried to find that enemy sniper. He spotted muzzle flash, and found out, to his dismay, that the enemy sniper wasn't entirely within view, in fact, all he could see was the barrel of her rifle. It'd have to do, he took aim, and was about to fire when the injured man started shooting. "[censored]. Well, I can only hope they can keep that sniper's head down while I move to a new position." He went downstairs and exited the building, stepping on the poor radio as he did so. "Whoops." He started sprinting down an alley, mentally checking his map, although it did no good, he had crappy memory. "Ah, damnit, just gonna hafta go to where those two are, can't remember a good position for the life of me." After a moment, he entered the back door of the building Abbey was in.
