Last Hope (10 page)

Prezz and Roman, prepare to enter the
aircraft. One Son moves around the aircraft, Jordan miss the target
but song hit it. Prezz and Roman enter the aircraft. One target
came out of a room to another, both Prezz and Jordan miss. Prezz
moves forward, miss target. Jordan was able to kill it. Roman opens
a door, spots one guy, the guy moves, Roman fire at the guy, hit
but light damage. Prezz rushes over to Roman. One target rush right
next to Jordan, Jordan kills it. Jordan found the elite. “Alright
Roman, this is your moment!” Jordan took cover, to let roman stun
it...Jordan dies. Song who saw Jordan who just got shot to death
was more stun by that, then she was when Frederick dies. Everyone
that was with her on her last mission had now died. Roman moves
closer, not close enough. Elite moves next to Roman, shot at him
but light damage. Roman was able to stun it. “It’s over.” Roman
told everyone as they found the pilot spazzing out on the ground.
Song rush over to the elite and without thinking stomp on his face,
knocking the elite out then walking away. While everyone was
celebrating the victory of the capturing the one of the Sons
pilots, Song wanted no part of that.

Song was in Katrina’s room as she was
trying hard not to cry. “Congratulations on becoming a Sergeant
now.” Katrina told Song. “That was a hard mission, I am sorry for
what happen with Frederick and Jordan.”

“
It was his fault, he freak
out in the middle of battle and miss several times in a row before
he hit anything again.” Song told her while holding back her
tears.

Katrina gave Song a close hug. “I know
Song.” She said in a soft voice.

“
Everyone who was with me on
my last mission had died. Frederick, Jordan, Jake. Why can’t I keep
any of my friends?”

Katrina turns Song face next to her’s,
in a calm voice she said. “You are my friend, and I promise that I
am not going to be leaving you.” This time Song pull in Katrina’s
face and gave her a giant kiss, for the only thing she wanted was
love and the only person that could give her that is
Katrina.

Mission 15 Tank

The following day, Kato went up to
Sandra and Mandisa’s room to see if they knew where Katrina was.
“Sorry Kato, I have not see Katrina at all told Mandisa told
her.

Sandra also got into the conversation.
“I think I have seen her with Song last night.”

“
With Song?” Kato repeated
again sounding depress.

Sandra and Mandisa was kind of confuse
at Kato’s tone of voice. “Uh, Kato?” Sandra ask. “Was Alpha
supposed to meet you today or something?”

“
No.” Kato said with a sigh.
“I just wanted to see if she wanted to hang out.”

“
Well you could always hang
out with us!” Mandisa said with joy.

“
That’s ok.” Kato said as
she left the room.

Both Mandisa and Sandra was confuse on
what just happen. “Did we just got rejected by Kato?” Mandisa
ask.

“
I think we did. I never
knew Kato and Katrina were even friends.” Sandra said
back.

As Kato left the building, she was
looking at the hangar as she saw the new five soldiers who would be
going out on a mission. One of the soldiers look familiar but she
could only see the back of the soldier's head. When the soldiers
turn around her face was in complete shock as she yell out the
name. “SOTO!”

Over at the hanger Soto was becoming
quite popular. “Do you have a brother?” Hugo ask Soto.

“
I’m an only child.” Soto
reply.

“
I could had sworn that
there was another Soto who was here before.” Hugo
explain.

“
Sorry about that. I hope
that I can be like who you think I was.”

Chavez made a little chuckle. “Don’t be
like the first Soto. The first Soto never spoke. he died a quiet
man so at least talking is already an upgrade.”

“
Since I apparently look
like this other Soto, is there any girls that I should be aware of,
so they don’t confuse me?”

Prezz got into the conversation. “He
has this smoking hot half sister name Kato.”

“
Hands off that one, I have
been trying to get my hands on her for a while now.” Chavez
interrupted.

“
I thought you were trying
to get a hold of Katrina?” Roman spoke.

“
I am trying to get my hands
on any girl to be honest.” Chavez said with laughter as all five of
them got into the aircraft. “Who, guys night out, I love it.”
Chavez told everyone.

As they reach their destination. Hugo
runs ahead and spots three enemies. “I see three of them, taking
the shot.” Hugo took aim with sniper, but only did light damage.
“Barley even scratch him.” Hugo told himself.

Chavez moves next to a car, found two
more bad guys and a tank. “OH FUCK, FUCK, FUCK MY FUCK, TANK!”
Chavez toss a grenade next to the tank, big hit Chavez also killed
another enemy as well. “The Sons are getting better gear, watch
your heads everyone!” Chavez told everyone. Two Sons try to move,
Roman kills one, another one move to a different area. The tank
moves forward, shot up Chavez but he is not dead, just wounded. “Oh
geez.” Chavez said as he lays on the floor bleeding out. “you
mother fucker, you can die for what you believe in, but I am
staying alive for mine.” Chavez said as he try to get back up but
is to wounded and continues to bleed out.

Over at Base Kato was explaining what
she had just saw. “I don’t have PTSD I saw my brother!” Kato
explain to Sandra and Mandisa.

“
Impossible!” Sandra told
her. “I have saw Soto die before my own eyes. Hugo was there as
well. Dinit you see Hugo in that hangar as well?”

“
Yes.”

“
Then shouldn't Hugo, who
was also in that mission notice that Soto is back from the
dead?”

“
I, guess.” Kato said with
sorrow.

sandra left out a small sigh. “Look
Kato, I know you are depress that your brother is dead. I know how
it is to lose the ones that I am close with, however, you need to
move on. Your brother is dead Kato. He is not coming back to
life.”

Back on the battlefield, things look
like the tide of the battle was turning towards the soldiers side.
An enemy has Hugo pin down. Juan fire at the tank, destroy it, the
tank explodes killing another target. “WOO!” They may got a tank,
but it’s a shity one. Soto moves forward to get a better shot at
the target that has Hugo pin down, spots two more. Soto toss a
grenade near Hugo. The grenade exploded almost hurting Hugo. “WATCH
YOUR SHIT SOTO!” Hugo yells. “I know you meant to throw that at the
guy who has me pin down but don't’ help him!” Soto gets shot at,
not doing so well. Roman moves to heal Chavez, gets shot at but
miss. Hugo gets pin down by another shooter. “I am just a popular
mother fucker in this bitch.”

Juan shots at the enemy that fire at
Soto but miss. Roman stabilize Chavez. “You are going to be fine
soldier!” Roman told Chavez.

“
Thanks doc. If you have to
cut my leg, at least give me some beer.” Chavez said with a
laugh.

Roman also chuckle a bit. “Always
making the best of a worst situation. No wonder everyone likes
you.”

Soto moves to cover, shot at the target
that had Hugo pin down, light, damage. “Thanks Hugo, next time kill
the guy!” Hugo yell at Soto.

A car blew up killing an enemy Roman
got shot at three times, miss but got hit by a poison gas. As Roman
started to cough Chavez pulled Roman closer to him. “Leave me doc,
I can’t move, and you are under way to much fire. I’ll be fine, you
stop the bleeding, let me rest and wake me up when the battle had
ended, I got faith in you Gary.”

Juan fire at same target again, kill
it. Roman car is on fire, right next to Chavez. “I can’t leave
you.”

“
GO! You need to take care
of the others, you are the only medic here. Let me sleep.” Roman
had to suck in his tears as he ran to cover.

Soto fire again, killing his target.
This time Hugo was happy. “Nicely done Soto!”

Car blew up killing Chavez. Roman
couldn't help but to watch. Enemy tries to move, Hugo fire at it
with a sniper, miss. Hugo fires again, kills it. Roman moves
forward next to Chavez, spots two heavy. “I am going to murder you
all!” Roman shouts. Roman gets shot at twice, hit once but light
damage. Roman falls back to cover Throws a smoke grenade to Juan
who move to get a better view of the heavy’s. Juan quickly gets pin
down. Soto fire at heavy, miss Juan moves, gets fire at but they
miss. The heavy that pin Juan down went after him, Juan fire but
miss. Another heavy fire at soto but miss. Hugo took aim, kill the
heavy that shot at Soto, with a headshot. The last heavy shot at
roman, not doing so well. Hugo had to reload. “I, am not, going to
die!” Roman said taking in deep breaths. Juan fire at heavy, hit
not kill. the heavy gets mad, tries to run away, Soto kills
him.

“
That was the last one.”
Soto said out of breath.

Hugo look around to notice that someone
was missing. “Where is Chavez?” Next thing that Hugo knew was Roman
who was on his knees as he look over his dead friend.

Over at B.A.S.E it was quite calm.
Chavez was always the one who light up the room. Now that he is
gone, there is no one to light up a dark room. Roman ends up going
to Sic-Mad for a week. Juan became a Sergeant and Soto was told to
go to the Heavy class. As Soto was trying to find the Heavy class
section of the barracks. A new girl came in. “Uh, hello there, my
name is Anne Price. I am looking for the Support class. Do you know
where that is?”

“
Uh, no i’m sorry I am also
knew here as well.” Soto said with a chuckle and a fake laugh. Anne
also return a fake laugh. “I’m-”

“
Soto.” Kato said behind
Anne.

Both Anne and Soto kind of jump a
little. “Uh, yeah, how did you know?” Soto ask in
confusion.

“
I’m your
sister.”

Mission 16 Base Assault

A few weeks went by, and one day Sandra
decided to have a giant hang out with the rest of the girls. Over
at Sandra and Mandisa room there was Katrina, Song, Kato, Sara and
the new female Anne Price. “Thanks for the coffee.” Anne said with
a smile.

“
Don’t mention it Anne.”
Mandisa told her with a smile.

“
You couldn't had come at a
better time.” Sandra told her as she sat down.

Anne was confuse on what she meant by
that. “What do you mean?”

“
You came in and for a few
weeks there has been no missions. Most of the new soldiers that
come in get thrown out into battle.” Sandra explain.

Sara came in the room and walk over to
Anne. “Would you like some more coffee Miss. Price?”

“
No thank you, I just got
some.” Anne gave Sara a nod and Sara head back outside. “She is
very mature for her age, how old is she again, and why is she in
here?”

Mandisa let out a sigh and explain
Sara’s backstory to Anne. “Katrina and I were part of a mission. We
had to go save these people in this city that was being attack by
the Sons. As we were clearing out the streets, we found her. My
friend, Igor, he told her to go to the aircraft, that we will be
back. The girl ran to the aircraft and we continue on our mission.
We had to fall back on our mission because we ran into two Sons
that could not be killed. They had on the thickest of armor, and
they carried the sharpest of swords. Killed Igor and another one of
our men.”

Sandra interrupts Mandisa train of
thought. “To be honest, I have not seen, or heard word from any
other soldiers about running into those guys again.”

With that being said Mandisa also made
a pause. “I have not seen those soldier in battle as well. To carry
on with the story. We were wondering what could we do with a seven
year old child. She had no home, no family, she was all alone. So
Sandra and I, along with a few other girls all took her in. We have
been raising her ever since.”

Sandra finish the thought off for Anne.
“She is a smart child. You have to be an idiot yourself not to see
that, however I wonder what is going to happen to her when this is
all over? Who is going to take care of her? Estela promise to take
her back home, to raise her as if she was her own child. Ever since
Estela died, we just don’t know.” The room quickly went dead silent
when Sara was standing outside of the door, tears in her eyes. “Oh,
no.” Sandra told herself s Sara went off running and Sandra ran
after her. “Sara wait!”

Katrina shook her head no. “That child
is either going to grow up, saving this world, or destroying it.
That’s one of the reasons why I don’t want kids.”

“
Just one?” Mandisa
ask.

Katrina let out a light sigh. “Raising
a child, training them, teaching them, just so they could run away
at the age of thirteen because you never told them one thing.” The
room went silent as all ears were on Katrina. “To make this long
story short, sex is fun. Rough sex is even better, having sex with
the guy that only girls dream about is also great. Having that same
guy in your house having rough sex with you even though you told
him no is not so great, getting pregnant is not fun either,
especially if you are still in school.” No one said a word, Song
place her hand on Katrina’s shoulder for sympathy. Katrina look
around to see Kato, who never once touch her first cup of coffee.
“However, knowing that your child is doing fine is still fine. It
does not matter if the child hates you, as a mother you still need
to protect them, that is why I am here. However, I am sure you have
a different story to tell, don’t you Kato?”
