[i]"Five more minutes!"[/i] was Amanda's reply to Scarlet's earlier question. [color=ff2020]"Shit."[/color] Was Scarlet's only reaction. Another black SUV approached the BMW from behind, to which Scarlet responded with some more automatic fire. Those ten rounds only wounded the vehicle a bit, but it continued charging forward towards the car. The vehicle got closer, and the moment its window rolled down, gunfire sprayed from it in Scarlet's direction. Scarlet said nothing as she immediately took cover, getting back inside as the bullets flew past them. Holes popped up all around the interior of the car as it was doused in automatic gunfire. In the break, Scarlet popped out and returned fire, getting a glimpse of the orc responsible. A small burst was all it took, the orc slumping over back into his seat after several bloody holes manifested in his neck and chest. The driver of the SUV pulled out his pistol and started firing, but like his passenger, his shots went wide. Scarlet had enough time to take aim, and with one shot, the driver's forehead exploded and the SUV soon left the road to disappear into the brush. [color=ff2020]"Scratch one Land Rover!"[/color] Scarlet called out. 

[i]"Red? how are you doing?"[/i] She heard Michael ask. [color=ff2020]"Surprisingly enough, I think I'm fine!"[/color] Scarlet replied as another vehicle approached them. [i]"Why are they so persistent?! Who are these people?!"[/i] Scarlet heard Faye shout as the enemy vehicle fired at them. [color=ff2020]"Fuck if I know, but they're well armed and very skilled. Whoever's pulling their strings must have a [i]lot[/i] of resources at their disposal."[/color] Scarlet replied after the gunfire stopped. Michael threw some runes at the pursuing vehicle, making it swerve to evade, buying Scarlet some time to take aim. In the break, she popped back out and returned fire. She emptied the rest of her magazine into the engine block of the pursuing Land Rover, causing it to fail. The SUV fell behind and pulled over to the side. [color=ff2020]"Hostile vehicle down!"[/color] She turned to Mike, who seemed to suffer some backlash from his runes. [color=ff2020]"Shit, stay with us, buddy. Don't want you to end up like Faye did."[/color] She looked around. She saw a long break in pursuing vehicles, and was about to sieze the opportunity to tend to Michael's wounds, but his god buddies seemed to have him covered. She instead decided to share some info that may or may not be important to the rest of the group. [color=ff2020]"I managed to get a good look of the gear they got when they approached us in the woods. The shit they have ain't cheap. You'd think they'd go with the NATO stuff if they had that kind of money."[/color] She looked at her AUG. [i][color=ff2020]Lord knows I did.[/color][/i] She reloaded her AUG, pulling back the charging handle and pushing a fresh magazine in. [color=ff2020]"But the paramilitaries are all carrying heavily modified Soviet stuff instead. I'm talking AK-74s with optics and synthetic furniture. They spoke Russian too. I don't know if any of that matters, but I figured y'all should know."[/color] [i][b]*CHACK!*[/b][/i] She slapped the charging handle in [url=https://images2.imgbox.com/26/fc/8i1TkwLc_o.gif]classic Hollywood fashion[/url] and took aim outside again. Scarlet sighed, seeing more hostile vehicles approach from the distance.

Before the vehicles could get into range, Scarlet heard gunfire coming from in [i]front[/i] of them. It only took a split second for Scarlet to notice that they were heading straight into a compound of some sort, where its guards were already firing at them. [color=ff2020]"Sweet mother of-"[/color] Scarlet barely had the chance to curse when she threw herself back into the vehicle to cover herself from friendly fire. She felt the impact of the BMW against the gate as the vehicle slid into the office grounds. Scarlet grunted as she was pressed up against the front seat, her body almost crushed from the force of the crash. She groaned as she sat back up, only getting a glimpse of the uniformed OMR officers that surrounded the vehicle. Amanda was quick to defuse the situation, buying Scarlet time to regain her bearings. [color=ff2020]"A little bit of a heads up would've been nice, [i]ugh[/i]..."[/color] Scarlet cradled her head for a bit.

It wasn't long before Amanda's orders came to Scarlet again. [i]"Alright, we've got aggressors down there! Kill them! Scarlett, Mikey. If you can help, then help!"[/i] What, they were still pursuing them? How much are these operatives getting [i]paid!?[/i] No amount of money would convince Scarlet to assault an OMR office, but now wasn't the time to question the enemy's motives. Now was the time to fight. Scarlet climbed out of the car towards the office, catching a glimpse of Faye as she took cover away from the fight. She looked to Mike. [color=ff2020]"Mike, I'm gonna need you to get to cover. I gotta go start shooting people again. Can you do that for me, big guy?"[/color] Scarlet asked quietly, patting Mike on the shoulder. She heard OMR agents shout things like [i]"Hostile contacts at the gate!"[/i], signifying to Scarlet that the enemy has already arrived in force. Scarlet got up and got a read on the situation. The walls, gates, fences and vehicles provided enough ample cover for Scarlet and her OMR allies, while the hostile paramilitaries would have to funnel in through the gate in the front. Even with all of their new gear, the enemy was facing off against an equally skilled and equally equipped foe, who has a much bigger advantage in terms of terrain, cover and numbers. And if Scarlet was going to be honest with herself, it felt [i]good.[/i]

Scarlet immediately took cover behind the wrecked BMW, using the engine block to protect her from incoming fire. Scarlet brought her rifle to bear, seeing the enemy arrive in multiple black Land Rover SUVs. More operatives equipped with the latest Soviet-bloc gear, already opening fire upon the officers. The officers returned fire with their handguns and rifles, making the operatives scatter. Scarlet used this opportunity to gun down one of the hostile paramilitaries, a quick burst of five bringing him down onto the asphalt below. Thirty-five rounds left. [i]"Moving!"[/i] An OMR guard shouted. [color=ff2020]"Covering!"[/color] Scarlet replied, switching to semi-auto mode and firing in the general direction of the operatives, suppressing them and buying the OMR guard some time to move to cover.

[i][b]*FFTTCH!!*[/b][/i] One of the OMR took a hit straight to the chest, making the half-elf fall to the ground. [color=ff2020]"Man down!"[/color] Scarlet called out. In the cacophony of battle, Scarlet reached into her tactical bag of holding, pulling out a flashbang. [color=ff2020]"Throwing flashbang!"[/color] Scarlet shouted, pulling the pin and throwing it right beyond the gate. She turned around, and after a [b]BANG![/b], she stood up and fired wildly towards the gate. [color=ff2020]"Moving!"[/color] Scarlet cried out as she sprinted to the wounded OMR officer. [i]"Covering!"[/i] She heard a friendly shout as she made her sprint. [color=ff2020]"C'mon buddy, stay with me."[/color] She said to the officer as she grabbed him by his armpits. She dragged him away from the fight as quickly as she could, bringing him back behind a wall. Once she confirmed that the wounded officer was safe, she called out to the friendlies in the back. [color=ff2020]"Medic!"[/color] She stood up and fired towards the gate. Given that most of the enemy was also in cover, she wasn't really hitting anything, but the bullets she was sending should be enough to buy her allies some time to do what they need to do. However, there was one small problem.

[i][b]*FFTT!!*[/b][/i] After what felt like having a bowling ball getting throwing at her chest by an orc, Scarlet was forced onto the ground behind the BMW. She was aware of this feeling, taking a rifle round straight into one of her ballistic plates. It hurt like hell, but at least nothing got through this time. She had a wound in her shoulder that needed addressing, but the adrenaline rush that she has been experiencing for the last ten minutes had pretty much made her forget about it, despite the blood that was all over it. She groaned as she crawled behind the engine block, laying up against the tire. [color=ff2020]"Guh... fucker!"[/color] She groaned, slowly trying to get herself back into the fight.
