(Civilian/Police Resistance "Uni" Resistance)

It has been four days since the Airborne attack who have encircled Athtrim and two from the naval landings which thus far had been orientated around taking the Naval Base but has yet to fall.

Senior Constable Nora didn't really give a shit right now. His uniform was scuffed up and he had very little sleep for the last few days...

He peaked around the corner in the University hallway he and three other Police Officers were in, he saw several Gaelic Paratroopers and several students who shouted obscenities' at the Paras...

The Gaelic took a hardline stance to any resistance.

They had pushed them up against the wall and just as they raised their rifles to kill the students, Nora and his three other officer peaked out of cover.

He fired three rounds into one of them that had what looked like three eagles akin to chevrons, and fired another four at the other men.

His fellow officers fired as well.

The Gaelic Paras let their guard down and were subsequently were easy pickings for the recently veteran police officers.

The officers rushed foreword to get into better range so that their handguns can be more effective, as they didn't want to use up the last of their rifle ammo...

Some of the least wounded Paras dove to the ground and used their fallen brothers as cover and back catching an officer in the chest sending him to the ground lifeless.

Nora fired his last two shots before reloading, the paras thank fuck to Erie were panicky at the sudden loss of everyone who held a rank so the fire was random and un aimed.

It still shocks him that the lack of discipline that these Paras have, all it takes it takes in for them to lose their leading men...

The last two Paras shared a glance at each other nodding and attempted to run, but found themselves being engaged by a the Students they were about to gun down.

One received a kick into the head as he was attempting to get to his feet and the blow staggered the soldier but her was jumped by another who pulled a pen from his pocket. The Student's minds filled with fear and mindless courage jammed in into the downed Para's neck over and over.

The other was more fortunate to have managed to flee around the corner, but was promptly sent flying into the wall with a loud crack of his spine.

The Police officers stopped and grabbed the Para's rifles and aimed at the corridor the soldier ran to before his... death.

"Arm yourselves." Nora ordered the Students...

But they were to stunned by that fact that one of them just took a life.

They waited... Nora was sweating. He could really only think of one person and he hatted to think that it was her...

He gulped, "Is that... the Goddess?" He asked.

"And whom is asking?" The voice was female, but it didn't match either the person he called or the Priestess...

"My name is Senior Constable Nora... I was wounded and though brief a prisoner of the Goddess and attended to by the Priestess."

"Were you the one that convinced your fellow officers to not kill her? Mistress was very pissed and wanted to go back on the deal right then and there when she returned showing wounds..."

"I was aware of the rules that she laid out... so yes I did... but pray tell whom am I speaking too, It's somewhat annoying to do so speaking frankly." His voice had some fear, mainly of the unknown.

"Lower your weapons, I am here as a scout not as a killer... ish."

"Done! Lower your weapons." He ordered.

The other three with him hesitated but did so as ordered.

"Sorry one sec." The voice called. This was followed by shouting in that Gaelic language and gunfire... but it turned into screams of pain and terrier.

"Sir... who is that?" One of the officers with Nora asked hesitantly.

"If my guess is right... it's her. That maid." The word left his mouth with disgust by he was more surprised as he really wanted to see a member of that women's resistance... But the maid? Fuck her she killed dozens of his colleagues. But he really has no choice...

Maid made the rest of his fellow officers have darkened faces, all of them lost someone they knew from that station... the students on the other hand were more scared as the screams ended suddenly and foot steps echoed down the now empty halls. They had missed the whole conversation between the Officers.

Jessica was rather pissed, just as she was about to show herself a squad of Paras had to ruin it. But she did like to level up she got... but still she only got another skill at level five, and that was a long ranged communication ability that she can use only for her mistress...

Though she did like how her feet echoed down the halls of her former university... she did wonder if her professors are still around, but she was here since she knew the place best while Madam Tanya and Mistress were else were dealing with local armored units...

That acid ball in very good against APCs and the light para tanks.

"Are you going to shoot?" She asked to those around the corner. She could sense them, it was just something that she could do passively... though hearing a heart beating was very disconcerting at first Madam Tanya did help her train her hearing to ignore or make it background noise... she still didn't know how but still it was useful.

"No." The voice was male, Nora he called himself. An Officer of the law, at one time she thought she could be one but now? She laughed at her former self such childlike thoughts.

But as she was asked before she stepped out and instantly frowned, but instantly replaced it was a face a calm contempt when she saw the students... 'FUCK! WHY THEM OF ALL PEOPLE!' She screamed internally, those students were the same ones she used as meat shields at the main police station not a week ago... and more annoyingly they were her former friends. 'FUCK FUCK AND FUCK! Calm Jessica calm... mistress would punish you if you attacked civilians... but what if she never found out... NO! She gave me orders not to, she said to find and direct them to her, or destroy them if they refuse or attack me.'

While this war was playing out in her mind said students looked stunned as they realized who just caused so much screaming and sent a man into the wall...

The maid shook her head and sighed. Doing a curtsey she spoke, "Greetings Officer Nora..." Sighing again, "Hello Jack, Vince, Mark and Lucy... long time no see. I guess." Her face was still on and her tone was very monotone. "My name is Jessica, my Mistress personnel maid."

"Wait your four know her?" Nora asked the students.

"Yeah... we were at the station when... well you know." Jack said uncertain.

"Before I dealt with an enemy installation. At the time." Jessica continued for him.

They got many a glare at her, but she didn't mind. To her this three man team of cops and four students were nothing... but they were resistance like her mistress ordered.

"Why are you here?" Nora asked.

"Well, I have three reasons... two now. One was to find local cells of resistance, which I have, two was too also explore my old school and the former third was to look for them." She gestured at the students... she really wanted them to join Mistress's resistance, though it was a pipe dream, she didn't want to kill her former friends there was still feelings.

Nora ignored, the last reason but did  care very much about the first... "Why are you looking for local cells? We haven't lost the city."

"Yet." The maid instantly countered, "You haven't lost the city yet, but it will fall. Form our observations they have yet to land their own forces and thus far have been bombing the port and naval base into submission, while they have allowed their paras to run amuck. Now this is what we have observed."

She allowed all eyes to go to her, "They want those that are willing to fight now and take and hold land so that the when the Army lands and when they don't have to care about local resistance in some area they will just level the city blocks with their own air power. Plus they might have landed around the naval base and port it was just more Paratroopers odd it was," She glared down at them, "So, my Mistress sent me to find these local cells and attempt to help them organize themselves and with some direction from my Mistress strike when it matters. Which would be after they conquer more parts of Erian."

They looked at her, then at each other. The students were taken aback by her cold and harsh words just like at the station but... there was a difference. Jessica before her disappearance was caring and rather compassionate but now? To them she was a cold hearted bitch that was willing to see more of the nation conquered... but what they noticed was what happened to the woman whom was going to join the military after university?

The police on the other hand had a far greater scale of understanding and had just over a day ago been told to go ground and wait out the storm and allow the enemy to roll over the military units and push on past Athtrim...

"It seems that her boss and ours have the same idea." Another officer whispered lowly.

"Indeed." Jessica said, she heard it a clear as if the officer spoke into a microphone. "I have found two others within the school and it was they whom directed me to you lot in this wing of the school and you are the last."

"What do you mean?" Nora asked, he knew of at least half a dozen cells just within the school.

"Well, are you talking about the ones in the science area and dormitories?" She waited for the expected nod which she got, "Well the paras dead around the corner I believe was the kill team that has been well as the name suggests killing them off."

Nora's mouth dropped open, he knew that those cells and they were gone?

What they didn't need to know what that she had wiped out the cells within the dormitories... she smiled darkly at the way they screamed.

"What about the other two?" He asked.

"I had sent them to where my Mistress is currently, and before you ask. She is currently with a Tactical Team that she recently saved from an APC." She answered promptly, "Now I recommend that we get going, I can hear several people coming."

They looked at her, how?

"Don't ask, it was the same way I heard those that came before. I am returning to Mistress follow. If you want." She started walking back the way she came.

The moment she walked around the corner she heard scrabbling feet and quick orders to collect the enemies rifles and to follow her...

A block away on the roof of a three floor building.

"Commander, that heli will spot us." Tanya advised when she heard then saw the Gaelic navy attack helicopter coming.

On the ground and second floor was 25 people that they had managed to collect thus far, and so far most of them only know that this building was her rally point and that they needed to hide from any Gaelic that showed up.

"I am aware of the nearing helo. But I've got this." Jackson held up a singular bullet, but it was odd looking, it had a green black looking swirling around it.

"What have you done?" She asked, her tone wasn't demanding but it was very annoyed, "This is no place to test magic."

"Trust me, if those balls worked on those APCs I wanted to test it with merging it with bullets."

"It's your imagination."

The older woman nodded her face had a childlike glee, though any observer that would be sicken to know what they were referring to.

Removing her magazine she inserted the new round and reinserted the mag into the weapon and ejected the other round to get the one she wanted.

Aiming down the Aug sighting she had and aimed at the main compartment mostly the nose cannon or the side near the engine.

"Guess on speed and range?" She asked her second.

Tanya stuck up her thumb and extended her index and waited a second.

"Roughly 600 meters and maybe 90 to 110 Kph."

"Right." adjusting to the new math she aimed again.

-Bang-

The familiar thud and kick back into her shoulder she missed this feeling.

Those below her panicked, why did she shoot? Is she mad?

But she was on the mark-ish.

"What you hit and what was it?"

"A mix of my death ball and some scrying so that I can see what the fuck I hit. And I hit a missile but what I see neither the Gunner or the pilot noticed that they were hit." One of Jackson's eyes was normal while the other had a very distance look and was very unfocused.

"Yeah didn't noticed the dink to the helo?"

"I hit the weapon not the helo."

She saw the missile was being slowly consumed and converted into more of itself.

Soon half of the missile was gone and it moved onto the wing that had that held the weapon and it took was being consumed.

It wasn't long before the two men in the cockpit noticed the rapidly unbalancing helicopter and it took one look at the left winglet for the pilot in the rear sit to notice the all consuming mass of death eating away at his bird. He instantly shouted something and the helicopter lurched over as the winglet was dropped but it was to late as the small lest amount of it reach the body of the craft.

"Ahh a dame shame." Tanya snarkily said. as she saw the winglet dropped. "Smart though to not make it apart of the body to allow rapid change in missions."

"I still made it." Jackson replied with her own snippy words. Tanya showed her childlike side and stuck her tongue out. "And that is unbecoming of Tanya to do that to me."

Slowly with her limited control Jackson willed her acid to enter the body and start eating it from the inside out, but it wasn't long before the pilot noticed something was wrong again as what seemed to be several warnings blinked on.

He was still trying to save the bird from it's sudden unbalancing and now? Fuck it.

The pilot started descending without any delay. But the commotion from his franticly moving bird caught the attention of an Erian AA team that fled the naval base.

"And gone." Tanya stated when the helicopter exploded. Though she did take note of where the trail of smoke came from.
