Chapter One - New begginings
6:22pm Eastern, 22nd September 2011.
"Contacts two-zero-three of your current position Red leader" A voice broke through the static over the radio.
"Copy that, moving to engage" The man replied, as he slotted a magazine into his rifle. "Let's move" He said over his personal comm to his 4 man squad.
They ran through the apartment building, up tens of flights of stairs, their concentration never breaking. They checked every corner before advancing.
"Falcon 3 come in" Red leader clicked on his radio.
"We read you"
"We're closing in on their position, can you give me thermals?" He said, sweeping a hallway before starting up the next flight of stairs.
"Negative red leader, they must have some sort of heat blanket inside. It's too hot for any specific readings"
"Copy that. Squad, looks like we're going in blind" He reached the top of the last flight of stairs, and he dropped to one knee and trained his sights down the long corridor, watching the six doors on each side.
His squad swept past him, taking positions up. He followed them down to the door.
"We're bugging out red leader, low on fuel. Command is on priority channel. Falcon 3 out" The radio cut, as the man turned his radio off.
"Bang and clear" He said. His squad moved from covering the hallway to a single door.
Looking at one of his squad mates, he then proceeded to pull a flash-bang out from his chest pocket.
"Go go go" Red leader spoke, no longer whispering.
A member of the squad moved and booted the door down with a forceful boot, and then sidestepped back to his position as red leader threw the flash inside.
It exploded. Men inside let out screams as the squad reacted instantly, bursting inside. Red leader hit a man in the side of the head with the butt of his weapon, as his squad secured the 3 other people inside.
Red 4, the male who booted the door, struggled with one of the hostiles as he reahced for a handgun.
"2!" Red leader ordered, as the only female in the group brought her weapon to bare, and opened fire.
One shot. Blood stained the already dirty carpet, as the hostile fell with a small whole between his eyes.
"Everyone secure?" He cheked around the room. "good. Command, we need EVAC on the roof"
A long pause fell over the radio as the squad dragged the 3 alive males to the roof as they struggled.
Bursting through the door, they threw the enemies to the floor and kept their weapons trained on their heads.
"Command come in, i repeat we need evac"
"We copy you red leader, hold on..."
Another long pause. Red 4 looked over to his commanding officer.
"Sir? They could have had back-up inside the building. Our intel could have been off...we need to get out of here"
"Acknowledged 4, sit tight. 2 and 4, you're on watch with these 3, red 3 you're with me"
"Yes sir" She replied, following the leader to the opening to the roof. They took up positions and kept watch on the stairs below.
"Red leader, something's happening here. We have lost communication with all units out of a 80 mile radius of command"
"what? Then establish communications, we're sitting ducks out here."
"Copy that red leader, i have been trying. You're going to have to improvise sir"
"improvise? What the h-......you know what, forget it. I'll find my own way out of this place."
"I'll keep trying, if i get anything i'll let you know."
The radio cut.
"Everybody here that?"
"Yes sir." Red 2 said. This male had a peculiar asian sounding accent.
"Good, we're bugging out."
"Sir, with what?"
He walked to the edge of the buildings roof and gazed over the edge.
"sir?" Red 3 asked, still curios as to what their officer had planned.
"4 armoured jeeps. Looks like we're going to have company"
"Think they ambushed us sir?" Red 4 asked.
"Probably. I don't know. Doesn't matter, we're busting out of this *****ing place. Take care of them 3, then follow us down. 3, me and you are on point. Let's move" He jogged back to the roof entrance and down the stairs.
They knocked the 3 hostiles out cold with a hard smash to the head and proceeded after their 2 squadmates.
"Clear left"
"clear right" 3 replied.
"Sir" Red-2 said, looking over the banister downwards. "Safe to say we're going to need more ammo"
"Copy that red-2, pick it up as you go. Let's move, keep it tight"
They jogged down 4 sets of stairs before they could here the footsteps of a good 20 people coming upwards. Just before moving down another set of stairs, red-1 crouched and flung his fist into the air. His squad checked their weapons and dropped down. They waited.
"Shoot to kill"
Then they appeared. Running up the stairs, they didn't have much of a chance. Red leader shot 2 of the hostiles dead just as his team covered him, killing 5 more.
"Let's go, keep moving"
As they proceeded, using the same tactic, they managed to reach the second floor. This time, the corridor was packed full of hostiles. Red leader dove to the corner of the corridor for cover, as did his team. But as red-2 dove, he was shot twice in the chest.
Collapsing to the floor, red-3 checked him over as the other 2 kept up fire, dodging in and out of cover.
"We'll take care of this lot, make sure he ge'ts out"
"sir!"
"thats an order 3!" Now move!"
She gripped his protective vest and dragged him down the stairs.
"Ok sir, i know what you're planning to do, and i can't -"
Red leader broke cover in front of about 12 people. He rolled over and broke into an apartment before being shot, as red-4 kept firing around the corner, killing another man.
"red leader this is command we have an Apache A40 enroute, LZ is 10 metres west of the building"
"Copy that!" He replied as he let out a burst, and a scream followed. another one down.
"Last mag sir!"
"copy that, we have pickup. Get in here!"
Red-4 emptied his magazine and dove into the apartment that red leader was takign cover in.
"thorugh the window." he said, smashing it through with his rifle. A hostile burst into the room, but e shot him dead before he could do anything.
They climbed outside, gripping onto a drain pipe.
"It's not going to hold our weight sir!"
"keep moving damit!"
They slide down, but the pipe came apart. They lurched backwards and lost grip, falling 15 feet into the concrete car park below, just as red-3 burst out of the back door firing her weapon and dragging her injured comrade outside.
"Arrghh....red 4, can you do your job?"
"Yes sir!" he said, getting up and limping over taking cover behind one of the very few cars, as red 3 joined him.
"Alright, hold the position!" Red leader took position behind another car a few metres way, ignoring his disconfigured wrist.
Windows from above swung open, and bullets rained down from above. They struck the cars, smashing windows and narrowly missing the squad. Red-1 returned fire, hitting one hostile as he fell to his death from the fifth floor.
More burst out of the door, as red-3 downed them as they came through.
"Like pigs to the slaughter" Red-3 said.
"Red leader this is HAWK-742, ETA 30 seconds"
"Copy that!" he replied, shouting over the weapons fire. "LZ is hot, repeat LZ is hot!"
He dropped down into cover as he slid his last magazine into his rifle. He touched the barrel of the weapon and it singed his hand. He pulled himself back up and opened fire in small bursts.
Red-3 kept up fire aswell, and as the chopper landed, a bullet struck her in the left upper chest. She lurched backwards as her squadmate dragged her into cover.
"can you move!" Red-4 said, just as red leader ran over to them.
The hatch of the chopper opened, and 8 marines burst out and opened fire, taking up defensive positions.
"come on!" Red-1 said, picking up red 3 and helping her into the chopper, as red 4 carried his badly injured squadmate red-2.
The marines kept up fire, as they started backing into the chopper. Patting one another on the soulders as they went, one of the soldiers took 8 bullets to his torso. He died instantly, but his comrade would not leave him. Red-1 ran back outside and gave cover fire, but not before the marine trying to rescue his already dead comrade was shot in the head.
Red-1 gazed upwards, straight into the eyes of the hostile who had shot this marine dead with extreme precision. He fell back into the chopper, as it lifted off. Bullets pinged off of it's thick armour plating, and it fled into the rising sun.
Chapter 2 - Shortcomings
0800 Hours, 23rd September 2011.
HomeWorldCommand(HWC) - Task Force Central Command.
"So?" Said The man in military dressed uniform, with several medals and a single star on his uniform.
"Our intel was off sir." The man across from the table replied. His voice so very familiar. It was Red leader.
"Off? 2 of you're squad are badly injured and 2 marines died getting you out, the intel was'nt off." The general stood and walked to the large window, overlooking rows of computers and the people operating them.
"I figured we were set up. Who was the link in this sh*t-storm?"
"You know i cannot disclose that information Thom."
"Sir? They almost got 2 of my squad killed"
"Yeah. But that's not my concern. Did you complete your mission?"
"Mission? Sir, the hostages were not worth my squad's lives."
"Did you complete your mission, liutenant?"
"If you are reffering to the extraction of a hostile individual who may contain information of the -"
"Yes, that is to what i am reffering."
"Then no, sir. The hostages were obviously of no value. I focused on getting my team out"
"Then i have no choice. Gamma will be taking your squads position on the front lines"
"Sir?"
"You are dismissed, Liutenant Johnson."
Thom stood and walked out of the room. He held his rage in long enough until he reached the locker room. It burst out of him, as he put his fist through a locker and tossed it across the room. His squadmate, red-4 joined him.
"Didn't go well then" Aaron, the large male, callsign red-4, said as he took off his protective vest.
"Damn IOA *******s think they know what's best. I'm telling you, the more of the alliance we find on the planet the more mistakes are going to be made, the more intel becomes unreliable. We got unlucky, but lucky enough to escape with everyone alive"
"Well, 2 isn't looking good. A bullet nipped his liver, and the other dug pretty deep inside his abdominal muscles."
"Doc said he should recover, a bit of stem cell therapy to his liver and he should be alright"
