Chapter 9 - 1 hour before our first mission

Looking at the drawings that the General had drawn while it showed that one of them had different colors eyes than the other two, with one having green eye's, as the other two had the colors of theirs purple.

The General puts the cap back on the marker before looking up to all of us pointing it at the first drawing before"this one is known to be a zombie with their green eye's classifying what they are, now i know that when you all hear the word zombies.That you suspect it to be an monster that has decaying flesh and move around missing bodies parts, if this is your assumption then you are in for an royal and very brutal reawakening with the cause of payment being you life.

These zombies are no different from you or me besides them not having any of their self-conscious to rely on, as they thrive off of one and only one thing. The most basic of all humans instincts to function with it being the need to feed, while their urge is incredibly strong to follow this one instinct it causes them to eat anything that has an pulse. But that's not all it does to them with them being dead it allows them to tap in to the humans bodies full strength that lays dormant, letting them run faster and have the means to be stronger than the average man or woman."

Looking at the drawing 'then it wasn't one of them that'd attacked me back in the schools batheroom then...as the one that did it had purple eyes with it seemingly knowing that it needed to increase it strength during the fight even if it didn't seem fully sentient.'

Letting the thought go when i noticed him moving the marker over to the next drawing before continuing to speak. "This one is the one that we truly have to fear as it seems to be more than just an blood sucker, with them being able too go from non-sentient to being fully sentient monster's. We have decided to classify them as strigoi's as they only seem to thrive off of the need for blood, so far we haven't been able to get to much information on them besides their need for blood.

And that every time they drink blood from their victims it allows them to return from being none sentient monster's, to sentient beings like us humans with the speed of their consciousness to be recovered is left to be undetermined. But with or without being conscious they're able too display strength of being the most viscous and strongest things to walk on this earth, not only having superior speed along with strength to us just like the zombies.

Putting them at the top of the food as there's been proof of their strength being able to with stand the weight of 1 gigatonne, marking that strigoi as the strongest of them while it was also semi-sentient.

With it speed clocking at a four point five seconds, it's deemed that it's best to use guns and swords on them. But we have noticed that the material used in making bullets and the swords aren't the best in killing them, so we are currently researching other materials that can be used on them. As the current materials for the swords and bullets work on the zombies as of now, we may need to be ready for the instance that they don't.

With that being all on the classification on the homunculus's i will move on to your mission debriefing, now your mission is too try and clear out two parts of the other side of the bridge so that we can start expanding back in to the other city. We will be sending you out in two squadrons with an search and recovery team on the stand by for you, as one team will be sent to clear out the hospital along with area around it before clearing the hospital itself.

As the other team is to be sent to clear out the area around the food market, as they're to also clear the food market itself just like how the first group is to do the hospital. Onces the designated areas are safely secured we will be able to gather more food an more medical devices for the zone, while we maybe able to have other missions like this if expanded to those's points across the bridge.

In the next 45 minutes you will be drilled in the basic ways of military arts to have some of the knowledge, of knowing what to do out in the field with soldiers that will be in each of your squadrons. I want all of you to split in to two groups of fifty to being your training."

(1 hour later)

Leaving the military out post as we walk across the bridge me and the other's have managed to be in the same squadron with the individual squads not being made yet as they said that will be up to our squadrons leaders. Reaching the end of the bridge we split from the other squadron, as we did with ours heading to the hospital.

The ruin of the city was an waking call to those's that believe everything would return to normal if they believed that with time the military could eradicate the homunculus's, but the bodies that litter the streets to be seen by all that bore witnesses to them while some of them had their intestines ripped from their bodies.

While other's look liked shriveled up husks as all their blood was drained from their bodies left to just wither away, turning the corner to go down the street that was said to get us at the hospital turned out to be an path that would begin to show us the hell that were now living in.

Clenching my two katana's "Sky, Sue, Casi, Ben, and Gah make sure you all don't enter your hybrid states we must not let it be known as this will be the first battle to test humanity against the threat of the homunculus's."

Skylar: "You just make sure that during this fight that you stay with in sight of us so that we can protect or help you if the need arises for us to."

Casey: "Cleo theses are strigoi's we can't just believe that we can handle them in orginal states as we don't have any experience with our new strength, if calls have to be made make sure that one of us knows about."

Seeing them grip their weapons as the Major taken in the situation before an strigoi notice us he tried to give an order in an low voice "alright soldiers i want us to retreat and find another route."

Backing up, after hearing his order an crunch sound emmitted causing all of us to halt from it, being that it could be heard from someone stepping on a piece of glass having an pair of strigoi's turn their head towards us. Before they'd made an shrieking noise leaving us to guess that they called for more to come and attack us, causing the Major to shout "GET READY FOR COMBAT !"

Seeing strigoi's run from out of the buildings as some even jumped from the windows the to attack us, the two that called for them had also came running at us. With my katana's in my hand i charged in to the fray calming my first two kills of the night.
