Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Lets wait until their bodies stabilize to move them." another doctor said. "That should minimize the risks of damage. For now, we should contact the nearby hospital to start moving more supplies here. Also, we have too many doctors at these two stations. We've done all we can for now, and we only need one or two to monitor them. Start moving to other patients."

"Ok..." The twins said reluctantly.

"Oh... that's right..." Vincent muttered.
"Though it's not public in Diethelm, the rebels and Helmshire both know who's making those machines." Valkyrie sighed.
"As well as knowing some other things..." Vincent added. "We've already been kidnapped once before. Now isn't the time for that to happen again."
"Hey brother, have you ever thought about building designs?" Valkyrie asked.
"You know I have." Vincent replied with a chuckle. "Don't worry, Miss Ravenstone. Sit back and relax. I'm sure they're going to need some good mechanics around the medical unit and the base."

The twins looked at each other with surprise. They didn't realize Diethelm was going through something like that. Suddenly something came to mind. "T-the war!" they both said with alarm.
"The final attack was today." Vincent said.
"B-but if everyone is hurt here, who's leading the troops?" Valkyrie asked. Ignoring Monica's warning, they both bolted out of the medical unit, looking around through the rubble. 'Where would it be?' They thought, trying to remember where Damien's office was. They snuck passed all of the search parties and spotted the desk and rug of Damien's office. They squirmed at the sight of the dead rebels and tried to search for some sort of communication device. When they finally found it, they were disheartened to see that it was badly busted.
"Damn it!" Vincent swore kicking the machine when suddenly, the lights flickered. "W-what?"
"I-it can't be. It looks like there is only a short." Valkyrie said, opening up the side. "I can't believe it. Everything's still running. The communications room must be operational. We might be able to find out what's going on."
"...Valkyrie, turn on the monitors and use the camera on our end to fix the short." Vincent said, putting on the head set.
"B-brother... You can't be serious." Valkyrie stuttered. "We've never done something like this before, and they're not going to listen to us."
"They're going to listen to the Absolute Leader. There's just a little problem with the head set. Do you understand?" Vincent replied. Valkyrie was silent for a moment.
"We're going to get in big trouble." Valkyrie muttered.
"Only if they find out." Vincent replied. "No one needs to know." He said, moving the desk over and starting to use the debris to hide themselves.

"There... that should do it." Valkyrie muttered. "I just hope you know what your doing."
"HQ to war front. HQ to war front. Do you copy?" Vincent said through the communicator. "We need a status update on the war front. Over."

"Who is this?" The general demanded.

"Diethelm engineers, sir. We're trying to check the system's damage and restart communications the best we can. The communication systems are heavily damaged. It's surprising they are even running at all." Vincent replied.

"Engineers huh? Fat load of good that does me. If they don't get an answer, they're going to start shooting off more of those missiles. We're at a stand still, and our leader is hospitalized."

"Did you run out of anti-missiles?" Vincent asked surprised.

"Anti-missiles? What kind of nonsense are you talking about? These machines don't have anything like that."

"Are you sure? Every operational scarab should have about 300 missiles and 150 anti-missiles. There is a slide out pad at each terminal with a red and green button. Red fires missiles, green fires anti-missiles. Each terminal can shoot up to 10 missiles and 5 anti-missiles. They were built to carry a lot more, but we were restraint on time and resources."

"Are you kidding me?!" The general asked.

"No. Check for yourself. It's on the right side under the control panel." Vincent replied.

Seeing Dietrich walking passed them at a distance, the twins ducked.

The general went to go check, and seeing the buttons, he fired one to check if it was loaded. Immediately, a missile fired when he pushed the red button and slammed against the side of the wall around Helmshire, blasting a somewhat large hole in the wall. Immediately, the general went back to his communications hub to talk to the twins. "Ok, we found the bombs. Is there anything else you forgot to mention was on this thing."

"Well, let me see now. Missiles, Anti-missiles, cannon grenades, machine guns, and whatever those other guys decided to throw on there. I think that's it. It's all in the manual. Oh, and there's a latch for homing spider bombs, but we haven't finished developing those yet, so don't open it." Victor replied.

"Alright kid..." The general trailed off. "Well that helps."

((Aya, aren't you going to post with the prince? Helmshire's wall has a hole in it...))

((Drat... Want to time skip and say that Diethelm won, and Dietrich found the twins as they were returning to the medical unit? ))

"Ack! Let go!" The twins said, kicking while Vincent's head was stuck between Dietrich and the machine because of the headset.
