Cast of Characters: Montag

Zanarkand

Montag often was sent to recon the ruins for signs of things that were of use, but also to keep an eye on the monster infested hell hole, there might be a use for it with the Shinra. Which cared little about a bunch of backwards Luddites view of it. He was high in the remains of an old tower but what he'd been observing was madness heartless, fiends, sin spawn it was going insane even more shocking?

The local monster life was fighting the heartless. Montag had been picking some off with his rifle but there was no end of them, it was just like that day with the Wutai assault the fall of his world. Was it going to happen again? Then came the sounds of things on the stair well he'd put in for an extraction reporting extra ordinary levels of monsters in the region and heartless to boot, and there was gun fire from the other squad member lower down. Where the hell was the choppers?! He called for an evac, from this location.

"SIR THEY ARE SWARMING UP THE STAIRWELLS"

"Barricade status?"

Montag readied a flare which was fired up, a bright light against the tides of darkness on the ground it let him see down in the ruins, it was a sea of the creatures below the shots kept coming.

"About to fail!"

"Drop charges and get to the roof if we have to make a stand their the stairwell will force them into a kill zone, leave the grunt drones to buy you time!"

"Yes sir!"

Montag readies his machine-gun, in a situation like this his sniper rifle would be all but useless the remaining members of his squad charged up the stairs diving for cover as they reached the roof and they fell in, some taking time to reload, one moving to try and bandage a fresh wound while he had the time to do so.

"Here they come!"

Montag and the other Shinsecs opened fire, as the creatures came up the stairs shells went flying every where and the sounds of fun fire echoed but were perhaps almost downed out by the tide but then something appeared a black helicopter bearing the Shinra logo.

"SHINSECS WE ARE LEAVING!"

The four of them dratted for the edge of the roof top as the another Shinsec on boar the chopper brought a heavy machine-gun to bear to give them cover, one by one they made the dive for the chopper as the swarm kept coming heedless of it's own losses. It wasn't long before Montag was the last one and he made his sprint firing wildly as he moved for the chopper but the chopper was now coming under attack it was starting to pull out.

"LEITUNATE MOVE You got to jump!"

Montag broke into a run for the now hovering chopper and leaps within rolling inside. He turned and looked as the roof top had become a sea of blankness save the yellow eyes, as the chopper was flying away. Montag gets on his mic and sends a signal.

"Command this is Lt Montag, extraction successful, I have the data and it's not good. The Heartless are swarming in numbers like we not seen since the day our world fell."

A more detailed report would follow, but hell had come once more. The Heartless and whatever manipulated was coming once more.
