Clover: Where the heck are the Creek Crawlers?! They need to help their brothers in arms!
Soviet: Some were stubborn, and others like myself tried to help the Draupnir Devils best we could as you've heard those who remained were cut off.
Footage then changed to a Helldiver and his Liberator shooting at some Automatons while a dropship prepared to drop off more bots while a exploding dropship fell from the sky.
Narrator: But in each case, far too many Helldivers were committed solely to the Creek, while the worlds that made the fighting there possible, shriveled on the vine.
Oobleck: And even when the planets shriveled, the Creek manages to have more casualties!
Footage then turned to the contested orbit as Super Destroyers fought against Automaton warships as orbital lasers assisted Helldivers on the ground while red laser flew through the air.
Narrator: In orbit of the planet, the fighting was every bit as intense, as thousands of Super Destroyers struggled to maintain the corridors into the sector while providing support to forces on the ground.
Ruby: So cool!
Ironwood: A battle in space.
Pietro: I never thought I would seeing something like this in my life.
Penny: Some of those ships seem to be going down!
Pietro: It appears so.
Narrator: Their ability to accomplish the latter was increasingly stymied by severe Ion Storms, turning what was already a deadly battlefield into a slaughter.
Brawnz: What the heck is an Ion Storm?
Soviet: An disabled our maps and stratagems, so we were moving in blind with no support.
Ironwood: The maps are obvious but what is a stratagem?
Soviet: Stratagems are divide through 4 different categories, offensive, defensive, supply, and mission stratagems. There are a wide variety of powerful ordnance and war material that Helldivers are able to call down from their Super Destroyers during missions.
Pietro: So that's how they get their Support Weapons because from what I've seen a Helldiver and a Support Weapon cannot fit in one Hellpod.
Salem: How do these... stratagems work?
Soviet: Each Stratagem has its own unique code consisting of a sequence of directional inputs between 3 and 8 button presses long. This ensures Helldivers don't get their stratagems mixed up and call a bomb on their location... but...
Ozpin: But?
Soviet: There are a few planets with Electronic Countermeasures which scramble the codes up which cause what I said before to happen.
Glynda: That's not good.
Soviet: Yup, luckily we haven't had any Electronic Countermeasures happen in... 3 months I believe.
Port: So these Ion Storms accounted to even more deaths?
Soviet: Correct.
The picture then changed to a small Automaton outpost exploding as the camera was titled from the shock.
Narrator: The planet was soon cut off once again. On February 25th, roughly two weeks into the start of the Galactic War, the last Helldiver teams on Malevelon Creek were killed and Super Earth High Command declared the planet fully lost.
Ruby: All of them on the Creek... dead...
Yang: Lost to the Creek...
Jaune: Wait, if the last teams were killed, how are you here, Soviet?
Everyone then looked to Soviet who smiled.
Soviet: Well, they said on Malevelon Creek, didn't say in orbit. Me and any surviving Creek Crawlers retreated back to Draupnir.
Ozpin: Escaping death, should've seen that coming from veterans.
Soviet shrugged.
Soviet: I'm a veteran from the bot front, and right now the bug front needs help with liberation after the destruction of Meridia.
Willow: You're destroyed a planet?!
Soviet; Yup, Meridia became a Super Colony, there was no saving it.
Clover: How do you even destroy a whole planet?!
Soviet: Black hole.
The theater then froze at the fact he has access to a black hole.
Soviet: What? We have Dark Fluid which creates black holes?
Ozpin: S-so you're saying Super Earth and you...
Soviet: Created a black hole and destroyed the Terminid Super Colony on Meridia which included the planet itself, yup!
Raven: 'What the hell does this Super Earth have access too?!'
Narrator: The fighting moved into the Xzar Sector, ending all hope of a quick end to the Automaton War. Complexity and tragedy are inherent to warfare.
Ironwood: Which is true.
A photo of a Helldiver trying to escape the jungle, trying to get to cover or in the open as the Autocannon and ammo pack rattled on his back.
Narrator: It was inevitable that at some time, on some world, Super Earth would suffer its first defeat.
Nadir: Wait, that massacre was Super Earth's first defeat?!
Soviet: Essentially.
Narrator: But at the start of Galactic War, with the universe seemingly ripe for the conquest-
A photo of Helldiver and shooting his Recoilless Rifle at a dropship, dropping a tank was seen as an engine was seen in ablaze.
Narrator: Even the most pragmatic Helldiver could not have been prepared for what lay ahead.
Soviet: I'd like to quote something here, which some of you will understand.
Pietro: What would that be young man?
Soviet: "No Battle Plan Survives Contact With the Enemy"
Weiss: What does that mean?
Winter: Sometimes, your plan will never work, the plan will crumble when the fighting starts.
Weiss: O-oh...
The picture the changed showing an Automaton Fabricator as two Jetpack Commissars and Berserkers were seen standing outside of it.
Narrator: Now the veil of ignorance has been lifted. The stage is set, and the stakes are clear.
Ozpin: I sense the footage is coming to an end.
The picture then changed to a Helldiver trio moving up on the bug front as a Helldiver fired his Scythe while massive explosions were in front of them.
Narrator: Other hells will soon dominate the headlines of the Galactic Wide Web, new battlefields that may even eclipse the terrible fighting in the Severin Sector.
Ironwood: That is expected, the battlefield will always evolve.
The picture then changed to 3 of the original Helldivers with their cloaks and drop down visors overlooking a Mega City on Super Earth with one holding a massive rifle.
Emerald: Who are these guys? They look... different?
Soviet: These, were the original Helldivers from the First Galactic War.
Ruby: Woah...
Brawnz: The Helldivers from 100 years ago...
Narrator: But no matter how fierce the battles or dramatic the campaigns, the memory of Malevelon Creek will endure.
Everyone was now witnessing the destruction of a Fabricator as a Detector Tower looked directly at them.
Arslan: That's a little terrifying.
Reese: Yeah... just a bright red light looking directly at you...
Narrator: Its bloody mark has been left across the whole of the Helldiver Corps, the whole of Super Earth.
Everyone watched the screen swipe to the right becoming two Super Destroyers and two Eagle's in the air.
Ruby: I know the Super Destroyers were big but geez! Look at the size of it compared to those planes!
Weiss: The amount of money these would've taken...
Emerald: It must be worth a fortune!
Everyone then noticed at the bottom of the screen was a single Helldiver saluting at three helmets held up by guns.
Clover: I can recognize that type of scenario...
Jaune: I think most of us do...
Narrator: It has shaped the souls of those who survived and gifted them their most sacred duty: to carry forward the legacy of those that fell during the Massacre at Malevelon Creek.
The video then ended as the lights didn't turn back on.
Ruby: Why aren't the lights turning on?
Soviet: Let's see how bad the situation was on the ground.
Ruby then gave off a small whimper.
The screen then deployed audio lines as everyone listened.
R3: This is R3 of the 116th Sabertooth Division! I need an Airstrike at the Detector Tower! We- AH!
Automaton Trooper: H3lLd1V3r ScuM!
W2: I4 fall back! They're dropping in a tank!
I4: Requesting Airstrike!
As the sounds of gunfire filled the theater they can hear I4 screaming in confusion.
I4: WHERE'S THE STRIKE?!
M1: FALL BACK! ION STORM'S HERE! WE-
*BOOOOOOM*
M1: WAH!
*THUNK*
R3: TL is down! Back to the forest!
I4: Incoming Hulk!
W2: Firing rocket!
The theater then saw as helmet cam video started loading up.
Everyone then saw W2 fire off a rocket at the Hulk blowing it's head up as the body fell over before exploding again.
W2: Hulk's down! Let's GTFO!
W2 then turned around, intending to leave as a Berserker appeared out of nowhere cutting W2's head right off.
Ruby: Ah! Ewwww!
Yang: I did not need to see that today!
I4: W2 no!
I4 then ran away with R3 as I4 turned around seeing three Dropships with Hulks and Devastators falling out of the sky.
May Z: I can't believe this is what they're going through...
R3: DROPSHIPS!
The two then bolted away as I4 activated a stim.
I4: Using a stim!
R3: Requesting a team reload!
I4: On the way!
Everyone watched as I4 took R3 backpack putting it on as R3 aimed his Autocannon.
I4: Open fire!
Everyone watched as R3 went ham with his Autocannon taking down the Hulks and Devastators as behind them, none of them noticed, a tank slowly rolling in.
*THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK*
Ruby: Turn around!
Octavia: They need to turn around!
Automaton Scout Strider: SuP3r E4r1h wI1l Bu4N!
R3: What the?!
Everyone watched as R3 and I4 turned around with R3 firing even faster.
R3: Oh shit! Oh shit! Call in reinforcements!
I4 then quickly got off from the Autocannon tapping on his wrist pad only to get direct hit by the tanks cannon killing him.
Harriet: He's dead...
Marrow: Only one remains...
R3: NO! I4! DAMN YOU CLANKERS!
R3 then shot the Autocannon before he ran out of ammo as the shots he fired only ricocheted off of it.
R3: Shit!
Suddenly a Hulk appeared from behind burning R3 to hell.
R3: AH!!!
Everyone looked in fear as a Commissar appeared in front of the camera as he raised his blade cutting the head off of R3.
Nebula: T-they cut his head off...
Reese: Probably to put it on a pike...
Automaton Commissar: Bu4N 1n h3L1, H3lLd1V3r ScuM!
The video then proceeded to cut out with only static remaining as the lights turned on.
Jaune: That's the end...
Nebula: They all just died...
Soviet: Because in war, there is no such thing as mercy, just delaying their death. Just like the universe we're returning to.
Ruby: Y-you don't mean...
Soviet: Back to Hacksaw Ridge!
Gwen: Oh Oum, I'm going to need a bucket.
Soviet: Yeah, probably. Now let's go!
I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED! THIS ONLY TOOK 2 DAYS! Well, off to make the finale of Makarov's Remnant! Now always remember!
LONG LIVE THE MOTHERLAND!
