The cities sirens went off signaling everyone to rush to the safe zones. The sound of civilians screaming and grimm roaring erupted all over the city. All available hunters were spread out either with duties to eliminate the grimm infestation of to protect and lead all civilians to safety.

Cardin's air carrier landed in a court yard with scared and injured people. A few huntsmen were watching the perimeter and others were tending to the wounded. Cardin and his team rush out of the airship with Nurse Carmin following behind them.

"Please I need you to hold on!"

"Get the wounded in the medical tents, hurry!"

Cardin and his team watches as more and more people began to appear most of them wounded and bloody. His team began to look pale as the they took a look inside the medical tent. It was a site that was disturb anyone, different medics and hunters who were trained in medicine were tending to multiple cases of injuries.

"Alright boys," Nurse Carmin walks on over to them with his uniform already bloody. "Our job in this sector is to scout th area for any injured or lost civilians and to eliminate any grimm in sight." He pulls out his needle gun and turns a switch causing its barrel to extend and its stock double in size. "I'll lead, you mohawk, you're in the center keep an eye out for anything." The nurse commands Russel, he then turns to Dove and Sky. "Thing one and thing two on our flanks and the lunk will watch the rear, everyone got that?"

Team CRDL nods their heads and begin to follow the nurse in the formation ordered.

"Am I thing one or two?" Dove asks Sky as they walk down an empty street.

Sky only shrugs his shoulders.

All members had their weapons at the ready this wasn't their first grimm fight, but being in a quiet street with no screams or growls disturb the team.

Nurse Carmin stops in front of a apartment complex with three large gaping holes.

"Split up and scout the building for survivors or grimm." The nurse says pulling up his needle rifle and entering the building. "If you find a survivor get them out, if you find a grimm neutralize it." He aims down on his rifle and begins to walk into the apartment. "When you're done with your round meet back out here." With that the nurse enters the door leaving team CRDL outside.

All four boys nod their heads and follow the nurse inside.

Everyone takes a floor and begin their search. Everyone made sure to keep their comms open in case someone needed support.

Cardin arrives to the floor to find one of the holes right next to the entrance. Swallowing hard he keeps his mace at a ready position. He walks down the hallway checking each room one by one.

So far everything was all quiet, not a single grimm or civilian in sight. Though, that wasn't as reassuring as it sounds, perhaps everyone was able to run before the grimms hit this place.

Cardin enters the last room on the floor, grabbing a hold of the door knob he was meet with some resistance. Sheathing his mace, he uses both of his hands and pushes onto the door. As he was finally able to make the door slightly budge he heard a whimper from the other side. Stopping, he tries to peak through the small crack of an opening to see who it was and to his shock it was a little girl.

A few feet away from the door she was standing in the middle of the room with a small kitchen knife in hand. Her arms were shaking and her eyes were pouring with tears.

Seeing that she was alone, Cardin quickly channeled some of his aura into his hands, a slight greyish glow formed around his hands, and with one strong push he slams open the door.

The girl jumps and runs to a nearby bedroom and slams the door close.

Cardin walks into the apartment and he almost felt his stomach push up whatever substance there was in his stomach.

Two dead bodies were mauled, one slumped on one side of the room and another next to him lying on the wall. It was hard to tell who they were, but if by logic he had to guess that these two were the kid's parents.

Cardin notice's the knife on the ground, the same one the little girl had. Its blade was covered in black blood.

"I guess they were able to kill the grimm before it got to her." He says turning his head towards the bedroom door. He slowly walks over at first his instincts told him to push open the door, but he quickly stopped himself. Instead, he softly knocks on the door. "Hey...you all right in there?" Wait...of course she's not all right, she probably saw some crazy stuff that'll probably scar her for life. Cardin slaps himself on his forehead for asking such a stupid question. "I'm a hunter and I'm here to get you to safety." He could hear light crying coming from the other side of the room. He lets out a sigh and raises his hands to knock again. The sound of growling caught his ears.

Turning around, Cardin run to the door and pokes his head outside.

Four white masked wolves were sniffing the hallway, their heads on the ground searching for a scent.

Cardin quickly pulls his head back and runs back inside. He unsheathes his mace and stands at a ready. He had two options, stand and fight, run...okay not that, he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he just left the little girl to the beowolves. Okay so he only had one option. He stood in the middle of the room in a readied stance. He waits for the grimm to enter, but minutes past and he is left with nothing.

"What the hell?" The grimm should've made it to this room by now, what's keeping them?

A scream came from the bedroom followed by the sound of a roar.

Cardin's eyes grew wide as he raises his mace and slams down the door just in time to see that the grimm have begun braking and clawing their way through the apartment walls. He turns to see the girl huddled on the other side of the room trying to keep herself as far away from the grimm as she could.

One of the beowolves shoves its head through one of the holes that were big enough and began roaring and biting at the girl. Even with the grimm only across the room from her, the girl began to cry.

Quickly, Cardin swung his mace down and slam the poking head onto the ground. He did it with such great force the wolfs head was smashed and its white mask was shattered.

As it's body began to disappear the other grimm on the other side of the wall began to quicken their assault on the wall.

Cardin ran towards the girl and stood in front of her. He tried to think of a plan to get himself and the girl out, but the hallway only had one exit and it's the one where he first entered the floor.

Finally, the claws of the beowolves broke the walls and piece by piece they began to tear it down.

The girl clung onto his leg burying her face into his pants.

The two of them wait for the grimm to tear down the wall and strike, but the sound of something firing and howling grimm causes the them to tense up.

One by one the grimm began to howl in pain as their bodies began to melt. Their black bodies turning to mush with their white bones falling to the ground with a loud thud.

"Cardin! Are you there?" Calls out none other than Nurse Carmin. His face appearing through one of the holes on the wall.

Cardin let out a sigh of relief as he lowers his mace and walks over to the wall.

"Man am I glad to see you." Cardin praises.

Nurse Carmin only gives him a disappointed stare.

"I would've thought you of all people could handle a few beowolves," He says. "Got to say you kind of disappoint me."

"I can!" Cardin quickly says. "It's just that I had...a little problem to worry about." Cardin turns his head towards the little girl who was now hiding behind the bed with her head popping up to watch the two.

"Hmm I see...well bring her outside." The nurse says. "Everyone else is done sweeping through the place...empty." His last words sounded almost in pain. "But looks like you were able to find her...good job, hurry, we got to get moving." With that the nurse left leaving the two.

Cardin turns around causing the little girl to hide her face behind the bed. He walks over and kneels down to her hoping to get on her level. She moves up th bed frame as he got closer. Seeing this, Cardin lets out a sigh.

"Hey, come on, I'm not going to hurt you," Cardin starts. "we need to get out of here before more grimm show up."

Nothing, she still had a horrified look on her face.

Cardin was starting to lose his temper, but he quickly sucks in some air and slowly breaths out.

"Look kid we nee-"

"I wait for hunter!" She yells. "Mommy ...M...Mom...Mommy to wait for hunters." Tears began to form in her eyes again as her words reminds her of her precious mother.

"Hey hey, none of that," Cardin says quickly. "I'm a hunter and my team and I are here to get anyone out before it gets too dangerous."

She stares at him for a second before she flung her arms around his shoulder and began to cry.

Cardin was a little taken back by this being that it was so sudden.

"Mommy...Daddy." She says through his armor, she repeats those words as she cried harder into his shoulder.

Slowly, he wraps his arms around the girl and hugs her back. He holds her tight and stands up. He walks out of the bedroom and out into the living room. Quickly, he moves past the dead bodies and out into the hallway to spare the girl in arms another site of her dead parents.
