Scraps Sidelined (A Girl's Frontline Quest)

[] Have UMP40 focus on getting everyone back on their feet. You'll face this new Odin alone and keep her busy.

You stared at Odin's looming form before you held out your hand, "Get everyone on their feet. I'll handle this."

"What?!" UMP40 asked in shock.

"I'll buy you some time!" You told her as you jumped to a wider space. You moved through debris as Odin's eyes followed you while you jumped.



Odin raised her hands and parted her lips to let out a note.

"La~~𝅘𝅥𝅮."

You air shook and rumbled, knocking you out of the sky as you ended up smashing into the floor. Rolling and tumbling, you slid to a halt as you looked up to she Odin slam down her hand on top of you.

Kicking away, you managed to evade her strike as you held your gun. She kept that cheeky grin on her lips as she raised her hands and sung another note.

"Lala~~𝅘𝅥𝅮."

The air rippled as you watched bodies rise up from the ground. ELID infected snarled and roared at you before they charged at you. They numbered in the dozens as you raised your gun and opened fire on the crowd.

Infected after infected were knocked down before you started moving to avoid being crushed by Odin's massive fist. An infected lunged at you, forcing you to kick it aside and spray bullets into the head of another.

Reloading, you hissed as you gunned down several more before moving towards them. The infected howled as they chased after you, Odin making them hostile only to you. You fired and fired, moving past them as you drew your knife and cut them apart.

Slipping past bodies, you darted left and right as you tried to break through their ranks. Odin lifted her hand and slammed it down, stunning you with the blast of her strike. Her actual fist came soon after, smashing into you and sending you flying into the ground as you stomped your feet into it, killing your momentum.

Odin's wings spread as she sneered and let out another note.

"La~~𝅘𝅥𝅮."

Lights from alien geometry shined bright before raining down on you. You dodged and weaved through the shots and jumped. Firing an explosive round and flame round in quick succession as you soared.

You defied her will as she looked down on you. You flew as a scarlet streak through the air as you roared.

Your projectiles slammed against Odin's flesh before she unleashed a pulse which shot you straight back down. You went through several walls and debris as you gasped and dragged yourself out. You used the energy from the impact to shoot out of the hole you were in.

You shot past her, leaving grenades to explode on her shoulder as you kicked off the air. Odin turned with the same grin on her lips as she swung her arm. You maneuvered over it, and fired at her face some more before you shot upwards.

Raining down grenades and explosives, you tried damaging her as much as you could just as a hole appeared in the air. Odin punched beneath her and her hand appeared above you, smashing you into the ground.

You jumped once more and pulled out a cluster of grenades, pulling their pins as you watched them explode on her body. They bloomed into orange flowers of fire before the flames were snuffed out.

"La~~𝅘𝅥𝅮."

You were pushed down the ground, the metal beneath you creaking. Your red eyes looked up to see Odin smugly looking down on you.

You coughed as you grit your teeth and noticed Hugin's body nearby.

"Hahaha~~𝅘𝅥𝅮."

You held your ears as you grit your teeth. Her voice... It was jamming your systems. You crawled to your feet, grabbed Hugin's sword and used it to stand up. The sword burned bright in your hands, only for you to turn and slash it.

Odin's flesh split but quickly knit itself as your eyes widened. Regeneration? Odin pressed down her hand as you were smashed down by it. You held Hugin's sword and stabbed it into her palm by Odin merely laughed at your struggles.

You cut through her flesh as you saw her ball up her fist. Your eyes widen as she sent it down to crush you.

However before she could even do so, missiles flew to smash into her face. Chunks of her body were blown clean off as she was forced to feel pain for the first time in her new form.

You rolled away as you turned and threw the sword straight at her. Odin looked before Hugin's sword dug into her body and exploded, blowing her pale white stomach open as she hissed in pain.

"You felt that, didn't you?" You hissed as you caught your breath.

"Ribbon~."

"I know. Come on, Odin," you said as you held your gun, "There's a lot more where that came from!"

Odin grinned as she swung her fist at you. You jumped back into the air as you avoided her strike. You watched her spread her wings in an attempt to shoot you down, only for you to kick the air itself to dash straight through her projectiles.

You fired your gun and went for her eyes. She slipped her hand into a tear in the air and smacked you down once more. Planes drifted by and smashed her face with missiles once more, causing a cry to leave her lips. Odin fell forward and hit the ground.

You got up and hissed as you saw her skull split open and reveal Odin's true body. She was bound by white tendrils but you managed to get up and look at her then, her eyes meeting yours as her giant body dragged itself up again.

"Can you hear us, Red Ribbon? This is the 88th Aerial Response Team of the New Soviet Union. We'll provide you with close air support but we have intel to relay. There are defensive turrets nearby, use those to deal as much damage on that monster as possible! We need your help. Please!"

The pilots in the sky soared as you stood alone once Odin 'birthed'more and more infected from her body. Shambling rotten corpses stumbled forward and groaned as they reached for you.


[] Bring Odin down to the ground. Request an air strike to leave Odin open for you to hurt with the turrets.
[] Save the turrets for later. Munin's railgun was nearby. You can use that to deal damage to Odin as well!

[] Bring Odin down to the ground. Request an air strike to leave Odin open for you to hurt with the turrets.



You raised your gun and fired at the infected making their way towards you. Odin parted her lips and uttered a singular note once more.

"La~~𝅘𝅥𝅮."

The bodies of the Infected started to grow hot and glow before running towards you. You pulled a grenade out and tossed it into the ground, blowing up the ones coming straight for you before firing a freeze round at the rest as you shattered them with consecutive shots.

Bodies cracked open as you moved forward through the ELID as the jets flew overhead. Odin turned to look at them and reached out with her hand. You ran forward and kicked off the ground, firing flame rounds on her chest as you ascended to her head.

You turned in the air and jumped to face her. Firing your bullets on her eyes as you kicked the air, Odin's eye sliding to look at you.

She parted her lips to let out her damned song but a missile descended from above and exploded. Odin staggered from being struck before looking up, failing to notice you fire an ice round at her eye, freezing it solid and causing her to hiss in pain.

"I need air support, give it all you got!" You barked as the planes tried making another pass while you fell.

Missiles slammed into Odin's body, taking pieces of her flesh off her body and putting holes into her wings. Missiles also struck the infected below and blew apart chunks of her limbs. Odin cried out in pain before you fell and dashed through the air. You dived towards the defense turrets and landed beside it.

Jumping in, you hacked into its mainframe before turning the entire gun to face Odin as her body fell forward. Her skull opened to reveal her true form within, giving you the chance to fire on it.

Odin saw this and had her monstrous form part it's lips.

"Lalala~~𝅘𝅥𝅮."

A pulse of black energy shot out and expanded, the gunshots of the defensive turrets barely shattering them with sheer brute force.

The turret roared as you aimed from the inside just as Odin was struck with another bombing run from the jets. Her defenses weakened and you were able to shoot at her body. Her true form was shot to ribbons but held itself together well enough. You fired and fired before Odin roared and raised her hand.

You jumped off the turret and hit the ground as she pulled it out of its position. Splitting steel and ripping iron, the giant lifted the turret in the air before throwing it into the sky.

The turret smashed into a jet and had it explode as she cried out in pain. A low hiss escaped her lips as the infected on the ground all roared her pain, running towards you while you gunned them down. She took damage from that, you were sure of it.

One of the jets had fallen already, you can't count on their support for too long now. Odin spread her wings and unleashed a hail of lights to rain down in you from above. You jumped and dodged through all of them before you kicked away and fired a flame round.

Odin blocked it with her hand before moving to knock you out of the air. You maneuvered over her swing and landed on her arm. You ran on it and fired at her face before taking off.

A pulse left Odin's lips and smacked you down into the ground. You coughed and gasped for breath as you grit your teeth to rise up. Odin sneered at you before the Infected move to swarm you. You tried raising your gun, only to find it stuck beneath rubble.

You're not going to make it in time!

BLAM

A gunshot streaked through the air and pierced the infected coming towards you. A person ran by you and started tearing through the glowing ELID with her bayonet as black feathers danced while a thunderous gunshot echoed through the air.

You managed to pull out your gun just as UMP40 stood over you and held out her hand.

"Cx4!" She cried out before you reached out. Grabbing hold of her, you got up and looked to see that the others were up again.

But they were far from fixed, that much you could tell... But they were here. Fighting Heimdall, both Hugin and Munin and now Odin as she was now, they would still go this far for you.

FNC held her gun with a smirk, "Well?"

"We wouldn't want you to have all the fun," Thunder said as she reloaded her gun.

"I'll be providing covering fire. Give me openings if you could," KSVK said as she took a safe position at the back.

"Sorry we're late, Cx4," UMP40 said as she looked at you, "I'm not cut out to be a medic, you know?"

"That's fine... I could use the help now, you know?" You replied with a small smile.

"La~~𝅘𝅥𝅮."

The air quaked as Odin looked over your group.

"She sure turned into something creepy!" FNC snarled as she looked up.

"Get ready! Here she comes!" Thunder growled as she held her gun.

"Cx4, we need orders!" UMP40 said as you all faced Odin together. The Infected got up and groaned, moving towards you in a swarm.


[] Work with FNC and thin out the horde! You need to get rid of these ELID first!
[] Slip past the swarm with Thunder and get up on Odin's face, deal as much damage as you could!
[] Have UMP40 detonate nearby electronics and engulf Odin in an inferno!
[] Jump on Odin and scout out her weak points for KSVK to shoot through!
