2nd Lieutenant Garza led his platoon through the dense jungle, cutting away at vines and pushing through the overgrowth. Although it seemed like a laborious task it was nothing the men weren't used to, fighting in the jungles of Valith. He had his Teodoro Rifle clutched in his hands, eyes on the trees and the spaces between them. As of yet they had found nothing, that is until a particular soldier spoke up.

PFC Martinez:"Sir, looks like a fruit in the clearing. Most likely a trap"

PFC Jiménez:"Some weird ass fruit, it looks like a raindrop"

CPL Ramos:"Alright, triggering on your mark sir"

2Lt Garza:"Mark"

Corporal Ramos triggers the trap using a trigger disc (A weighted disc the size of a quarter used to trigger booby traps left), and the fruit is enveloped in a net which was hidden in the dirt, the net flies up with nothing caught inside save for the fruit. The men ready their rifles, eyes on the trees.

Sergeant Banks:"Contact Left!"

An arrow goes through CPL Ramos' shoulder, and every man opens fire on the assailants, shadowy figures in the trees. Having dealt with this scenario a million times, the soldiers are able to pin each attacker. The attackers arrows fly but in their panicked state manage to hit no more of the soldiers. Two of the enemies bodies hit the ground out of sight, and 2nd Lieutenant Garza orders a squad to secure the area where they fell.

PFC Martinez:"Sir, you might want to see this!"

Garza rushes over to the squad sent to secure the bodies, and finds them gawking. He soon follows in dropping his jaw as he sees the bodies. Their blood is blue-green, but above all, they are not anywhere near human. They were amphibian in nature, with webbed hands and wet, smooth skin. Yet they were strikingly humanoid.

"Send a pigeon to Fort Alvarez, now!"

2 Rey Armored Cars cruised through a less dense jungle, soldiers riding on top of them, though their way is still being cleared by a squad on foot led by Sergeant Flores. They came to a small clearing, which led to a marsh and seemingly a river. They sent a pigeon to alert command to a clean water source. The squad started moving forward towards the marsh.

Sergeant Flores:"Well boys, lets shoot the breeze a bit, where do you all think we ended up?"

PFC Diaz:"Well Sarge, we could be in Umbergal, this definitely isn't Valith and where else remotely near where we were has jungles?"

Private Vega:"Well this certainly isn't Timbostan, hell look around, somethings off, everything is green as well. Stop looking at me like that, I know it sounds crazy but what if we're not on-"

CPL Ross:"Hey Sarge who's that guy in front of us rising out of the water"

Over a dozen amphib-humanoids rise from the water, slings and mace like weapons drawn. One of them clubs CPL Ross, who collapses unconscious, resulting in the squad opening fire, dragging Ross' unconscious body back towards the armored cars. The armored cars open fire, cutting down the amphibs easily, as the few remaining amphibs scatter and retreat, the Lieutenant traveling with the cars demands a pigeon to command

Captain Gutierrez, one of the pilots riding the train, hops into his Orenco B fighter and takes off the rudimentary runway. He finds nothing of note besides canopy for some time. He noticed that he was passing into a more temperate area, and had almost expended the majority of his range. He was going to turn back until he noticed smoke to his right. He flew overhead and noticed that below him was a sea of tents. Figuring it was a refugee camp from the war, he dropped a large box of chocolate rations he always kept in his plane, using a rudimentary parachute made out of a ruined blanket. He checked his binoculars and immediately regretted dropping the box. He saw several flags from Novorossinezh, and troops. Oddly enough though, they looked outdated by about 15 years, at least based off their older uniforms, and their older looking artillery. He turned back, noting his findings, and slightly disappointed that his chocolates didn't go to civilians. Good thing he always keeps spares.
