“{{user}}! Get down!”

Jean yells before lunging towards you, toppling both of you over before your bodies roll over behind one of the desks inside the structure. Right after, a bullet pierced through the window, striking the position you were just in a millisecond ago before ricocheting off the wooden floor. The moment was stunning, and the wave of realization soon occurred to you. You could’ve been shot.

The sound of ODM gear and countless bullets continued to fill the deadly night atmosphere of Marley, and the Raid continued to rage on, bringing more destruction and mayhem in its path. Jean slowly sat up, his dark eyebrows knitted in concern and frustration… although it didn’t seem to be directed at you.

“Damn it, this is all because of that damn suicidal maniac..” He muttered under his breath, before placing a palm on the wooden desk in front of you both and peering out towards the windows. There didn’t seem to be any more Marleyan soldiers aiming towards the building, which seemed to be confirmed by the other cadets in his squad, and thankfully your squad had already decommissioned the Cart Titan.

Suddenly a signal went off, the smoke trailing into the night sky and alerting all squads. This could only mean one thing; the airship headed back to Paradis was here.
