Somewhere at the sea coastline of only safe continent,

Captain Ronin led his team to the coastline, unsure of what they might find. The Bank had offered them an exorbitant sum to complete this task, but something felt off about the situation. As they arrived, a bespectacled woman named Shalina questioned the captain’s decision.

.....

“Why are we here again, and why did The Bank issue such a weird task while offering so much for it?” she asked, confusion etched on her face.

“Shalina, you know that The Bank never offers a deal that it would suffer from, so we need to be on our guard. We don’t know what kind of danger we might face,” Captain Ronin replied, his expression thoughtful as he surveyed the area.

Shalina merely shrugged, not taking her captain’s words seriously. Meanwhile, a man with a burly figure and large muscles named Morsel grumbled about the team wasting their time on this task.

“If it weren’t for the money, I would have disagreed with the captain’s decision to accept this task,” he said with a frown, gazing out at the vast expanse of the sea.

“Stop it, Morsel. The captain has his reasons for accepting this task,” Norman, a lean swimmer, chided him, shaking his head.

Suddenly, a man wearing goggles and carrying double guns on his back came running towards them. His name was Dorsey, and he had found something odd about the situation.

“I’m pretty sure there should be many malice organisms present here, but why can’t I find any presence of them at all? Morsel, Norman, Shalina, everyone, please be alert for any unforeseen attacks. I have a bad feeling,” Dorsey shouted, warning them of the potential danger.

Captain Ronin arrived on the scene and listened to Dorsey’s concerns. Something about the situation didn’t feel right, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that they were walking into a trap.

Captain Ronin’s team consisted of 10 members who had worked together for quite some time. However, the rest of the members were hired for this task, which required a minimum of 30 people. The captain had received insider information before arriving, but he wasn’t sure if it was correct.

As they stood vigilantly watching over the coastline, a weird tension hung in the air, making them sweat and feel nervous about the silence in the area. They waited, poised for whatever might come their way, their eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of danger.

“Screeeech…!”

“What…what was that…fuc*...!!”

“Swuiish…!”

“Shit…!! What the hell…Ohh…shit…!!”

Moments later, just as the group had begun to question their senses, a screeching sound pierced the air. They scanned the area in a panic, but could find no source for the terrible noise. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

Then, it came again. Another shrill, piercing cry that set their hearts racing. As they looked down towards the ground in confusion, a man chanced a glance upwards and let out a string of curses. The others followed his gaze, and their own curses joined the chorus as they beheld the sky.

“Screeeck!!” “Screech…!!”

It was black. Utterly and completely black. And it was hurtling towards them at a terrifying pace. As it drew near, the reason for the darkness became clear.

A horde of monstrous birds filled the sky, their twisted forms blotting out the light. They screeched and cawed, their blood-red eyes glowing with a malevolent light that chilled the bones of all who saw it. The group stood frozen in terror, unable to comprehend the monstrous sight before them.

“Fuckin* shit…!!” Captain Ronin cursed under his breath as he realized that the information he’d received was not only accurate, but had severely understated the danger they faced. The Bank had offered a hefty sum for this task, and now he understood why. They were up against sky monsters, creatures straight out of a nightmare.

“Get your shit together, people! We’re not going to make it in the open. Head for that small patch of forest over there, and for fuck’s sake, don’t attract their attention!” Ronin barked orders, his voice sharp and urgent.

“Screech….!!”

The group retreated as quickly as they could, trying to keep to the shadows and avoid being seen. But it was too late. The birds spotted them, and before they could reach safety, the sky was filled with their black shapes.

“Bang…bang…bang…Booom!!”

“Retreat…retreat…don’t fuckin* stop for a moment…!! Captain Ronin’s shrill shout rang in everyone’s ear along with the gun’s sound.

Gunfire erupted, mixing with the screeching of the monstrous birds as they descended upon the group. Ronin fought valiantly, trying to buy time for the others to escape. But not all of them were as brave as he was.

“Ahahhh….!!” “No….I don’t want to die…Bang…Bang…Bang…!!”

Some froze in terror, unable to move as the creatures closed in. Others screamed and begged for mercy as the birds tore them apart with vicious claws and razor-sharp beaks. The forest echoed with the sounds of gunfire and dying screams, a cacophony of death that chilled the bones of all who heard it.

Captain Ronin looked around at the gore scene in the open plain, feeling a sense of urgency weighing heavily upon him. Shalina’s question caught him off guard, “Captain Ronin, how fast can you move?” she asked, her eyes scanning the area for any sign of danger.

“Why do you ask?” Captain Ronin responded, confused by the sudden inquiry. “I can run fast enough to avoid being caught by those monsters, as long as I have enough time.”

Shalina’s eyes widened as she looked at the monstrous birds that were closing in on their position. “Okay, then you need to escape from here and bring help. We’ll buy you enough time to get these beasts within hunting range,” she said, pulling out a heavy double-barrel gun and a cold steel sword, holding them tightly in each hand.

Captain Ronin was bewildered by Shalina’s behavior and words. “What...what are you trying to do?” he asked, feeling a sense of unease creeping up within him.

Dorsey, Norman, and Morsel intervened, interviewing and agreeing with Shalina’s plan. They all knew that they would end up buried here if they didn’t have someone to help them. And no one had the confidence to outrun the monstrous birds, making Shalina’s idea the only acceptable one.

As they prepared for battle, Captain Ronin couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease that continued to grow inside him. He looked at his team, their weapons at the ready, and knew that their only hope of survival was to fight with all their might.
