Last Hope (18 page)

“
Commander, another
aircraft, not the same one this time.”

“
Send a fighter and shoot
that one down. I want answers onto why our jets are not keeping up
with a bunch of terrorist jets.” The fighter went out and this time
was able to shoot down the enemy plane. “Good, send in my top six
best, Mandisa, Katrina, Sandra, Prezz, Sophie and Martine. I want
them to figure out just what is going on here.”

Back in the barracks Martine was busy
playing with Sara and Anna when his pager went off. “Arug!” He
moans. “Looks like Uncle Martine is off to save the world again.”
Martine slowly gets up. “I dont think I have to remind you girls
this, but no boys all right?”

At the same time both Anna and Sara
said the same thing. “We know.” Martine only chuckle when he
left.”

When Martine reach the hangar and got
inside the aircraft it felt as if everyone was in a hurry. “What’s
going on?” Martine as as he sat down. “Seems like everyone in the
hangar are moving really fast today.”

“
Word is that Commander has
been having some bad luck, sent two fighters at the same enemy pane
but it got away both times.” Juan explain.

“
I thought we had the best
pilots around?” Martine ask.

“
Thats the part that is
worrying Commander.” Juan told him. “He dont know why, and don’t
know how but untrain pilots are outflying train pilots, something
is wrong here.”

“
Perhaps the untrain pilots
are not as untrain as we thought.”

“
If that is the case, then
this war just got way more complicated than it should
be.”

When they touch ground the place was
quite empty. “For a crash you think you would see scouts coming out
of the aircraft to make sure no posers like us come walking by.”
Juan told everyone silently.

“
Keep your guard up.” Sandra
whispers. “The Sons are getting smarter, we just have to be
smarter.”

Everyone goes inside the fallen
aircraft, that was when a tank and a drone comes from the behind.
“Here comes the welcoming committee.” Sophie told everyone as she
fire at the tank.

Mandis rush to the cover, shot at the
tank. Martine killed the drone and the tank retreats. “Should we go
after it?” Martine ask.

“
No, we are already here
lets finish clearing out this aircraft so we don’t get ambush from
the from and the behind.” Sandra told everyone. Sandra opens a
door, nothing. Sandra rush around to the other side, opens a door,
nothing. “Great.” Sandra told herself sarcastically
speaking.

A heavy me a brute came from the
behind. Everyone fire at the brute, did not kill it, the brute
storms inside the ship. Mandisa fire at brute, does not kill it, it
runs after her. Martine does sme thing and it runs after him.
Sophie shot it in the back, kills it. “I’ll tell you one thing,
those fuckers know how to last.” Martine told everyone as he
reloads.

The heavy step right in front of the
door, Sandra kills it. Three Sons appear one Son ran outside, got
shot at but still alive, the other Son one ran outside, Sandra
kills it. The Son that got shot, shoots at Sandra through a wall,
light damage. Sandra shot back, did not kill it. Juan move forward,
killed the son. The last son came rushing through the door,
everyone shot at him, kills him. Juan look at the dead and wonder
why he did just that. “I think the Sons are getting more
desperate.” He told the rest of the group. Sandra opens another
door, nothing

Katrina move ahead found two elites.
One elite try to leave, everyone shot at it but it still lives. The
elite shot at Mandisa but she is doing fine. Sandra shot at the
elite, did not kill it. Juan move forward, rapid fire on the elite,
miss. Katrina kills it with a headshot. Katrina moves forward,
found the other elite, shot at it with pistol, hit, light damage.
Mandisa rush to, cover, got shot at but light damage. She fires at
the elite, kills it. One room, left. “All right Martine, you
Sophie, and Juan goes tank hunting while Katrina, Mandisa, and
myself prepare to enter the last room.” Everyone nodded and went to
there destination. The tank moves, Martine fire at it but miss.
Sandra ones last door to find nothing. “Oh for fucks sake!” She
scream as she rushes to Martine.

Juan rush outside, fire at the tank was
way off. Mandisa and Martine has to reload. “Hey you got us cover
right?” Martine as the tank moves closer, Katrina fire at it. The
tank fire at Sophie, hit, but light damage. Juan destroys the tank.
“Thats the last of them.” Juan told everyone when the tank gets
destroyed.

“
Commander.” His assistant
said as she was standing outside of his room, as she could see him
across his room looking out his room. “Strike force one had
complete the mission and is returning home. No casualties on our
side and Sophie Davies earns the promotion to major now. Also the
strange UFO keeps coming back but none of our airplanes can land a
hit yet, or keep up.”

“
Thank you assistant, will
that be all for today?” Commander ask not looking back as he drinks
some more of his wine.

“
Yes Commander.”

“
Have a good night then.”
When his assistant was gone Commander couldn't help but to keep
thinking to himself. “An airplane that can’t be shot down, a female
soldier who is expecting a child, and soldiers mingling with other
soldiers. Perhaps Kato was right, perhaps I don’t know what is
really going on in these own walls of mine.”

Mission 25 A New Leader

Over at the War Room Commander was
looking at his giant floating globe as he kept on seeing the same
aircraft appearing and disappearing throughout the globe. “Just how
far are we from completing this new aircraft?” Commander ask his
assistant.

“
In a few more days
Commander.”

Commander gave a little pause then
starts to talk to himself. “This aircraft is not attacking us, what
is it doing? Taunting us? For what reason?”

Adam was in the training room, punching
a few punching bags when Chang came in. “You are making quite a
name for yourself Brown.”

“
Why would you say that?”
Adam ask in between breaths as he continue to hit the punching bag.
Chang grab the punching bag from the behind to hold it
steady.

“
You are a bit quiet, but
always cool under pressure. Small freak out on the field however
you seem to get a hold of yourself and lead your team to
victory.”

Adam chuckle a bit. “I don’t think I
really lead my team into victory, or have been much of a
leader.

“
You are being too modest
Brown. I have seen the new soldiers and you are the strongest of
them all, with your will power that is. Zoe Ryan is just another
Katrina. James is a good medic, like Gary, Maxim was like Igor from
what I could tell. Andrea has a lot to prove but he gets his job
done.”

“
A man should not have to
prove anything just for what his name says.”

“
If you are the child of the
president, dont you have a lot of weight?”

“
The only weight, that child
should have. is how much weight that child is carrying on them.
Just because you have the blood of someone who is famous, does not
mean you are obligated to follow in the same footsteps.” Adam told
Chang as he stops punching the punching bag.

Both his and Changs pagers goes off and
they had to go on a mission. “Well, looks like we have a mission to
get to, leader.” Chang said with a smirk as he gave Adam a pat on
his back.

When they reach the aircraft they also
met Zoe, James, Maizah, and Andres. “Is everyone ready for this?”
Adam ask as he got into the aircraft. The rest of the crew gave a
nod. “Good. Zoe and Adnres, you are the snipers, stay in the back
and when we move, I want one of you to have your cross hairs on us,
and the other one out in the distance. James, you are the medic, if
everything goes bad you are going to fix it. Chang, you are the
heavy, if there is something we can’t go through, blow it
up.”

When the reach there destination and
all head out. Zoe look through her scope and already found two
heavies and a brute, she falls back to cover. “Got three of them,
one is a Brute, stay safe.” Zoe told the rest of the
squad.

Adam moves to cover. “Alright team,
Pong!” Adam shoots at the brute and it gets mad and rush over to
Adam. Andres fire at it and the brute rushes at Andres. Jame found
another target and killed a heavy before he could do any kind of
damage to the squad. Chang mis brute but Maizah was able to save
Andres by hitting the brute and having it run after her. However
she was to close to the brute, thanks for Chang missing, the brute
was close to Maizah and starts to beat her on the ground to a
ground of dust. In the midst of the fighting, no one else fire at
the brute, afraid that they might hit Maizah. Mizah was able to
pull out her knife and stab the brute in his heart, killing him.
Maziah got up but quickly went to the knee as she was in pain by
the brutes attack. The other heavy runs next to Zoe, she runs for
cover. “Guys I need back up.” She told her squad.

Chang toss a grenade at heavy, hit but
not kill him. The heavy runs after Zoe, everyone fire at it but
Andres killed it. “Your clear.” Andres told her.

Maizah moves next to James. “That was
some nice fighting there.” James told her as he began to heal
Maizah wounds. “Where did you learn to fight like that?”

“
Where I come from, a knife
is the only weapon that you can ever truly relay in
battle.”

Chang moves ahead, found a heavy and a
brute upstairs. Chang moves to a car, found two more sons. Maizah
fire at one, light damage. Andres killed maizah target from afar.
The other son retreats. Three more heavys appear, everyone found
and shot there targets, no heavys died. "Looks like the whole
neighborhood is in town!" Chang shouts.

"A welcoming party? They shouldn't
have!" Adam told Chang.

Maizah toss a gernade, hurting two
heavys, hurting them and, exposing there cover. "These are demons!"
Maizah freaks out that one is not dead and blindly fire at
nothing.

"There's to many of them!" Andres also
blindly fires but hits a heavy, does not kill him.

"Get together!" Adam shouts as he fire
at a heavy but miss.

James move to cover, killed a heavy.
Chang killed the heavy upstairs. The other heavy toss a gernade,
hurt both Amdres and James, exposing there cover. James runs to
cover. Andres also falls back to cover and shot at the heavy with a
pistol. Chang hah to reload. "Any bright ideas?" Changs said while
he reloads.

Adam look around and could see movement
coming from the right side. "Zoe, keep your scope on the right
side, look for shadows. Maizah, lay down fire on the
heavy!"

The heavy moves to more cover, shoots
at Maizah, but miss. A son comes out of nowhere from the side, Zoe
found it and kills it. Maizah runs to cover, reloads her LMG.
Andres takes Maizah spot, toss a gernade at the heavy, exposing its
cover. Adam has to reload. "Chang, take out the last guy!" Chang
rush to cover, kills the heavy. "Good, all that is left is the
brute, let's go fnd him.

Everyone check all over the place but
could not find the brute. The roof was clear, the building was
clear, the squad ran to the side of the house and found the brute
and a heavy charging after them. "RUN!" Adam shouts and everyone
retreats. One heavy came around the corner, both Zoe and Andres
took it out. There was a stalemate for a long time. Adam ran to the
side of the building, spot the brute. "Hey brute, why don't you
just come on out? No one has to die anymore!"

There was silence but then a voice
spoke that was not from the group. "It doesn't work like that!" The
brute said.

"What do you mean! All you have to do
is just come out, with your hands up! If you don't try to rush us,
then we won't kill you. All of your men are dead while mine are
still alive!"

"You don't know us, you don't know what
we are fighting for, how much we left behind to fight for what we
believe!"

"Then why don't you tell me? So we can
understand each other better? My name is Adam Brown, I work for a
secret organization, what's your name?"

There was a pause. "My name is not
important, the only thing that is important, is what the Sons of
Liberty stands for!"

"What does it stand for?"

"It stands for a new life, a new world,
what it stands for is freedom from this place of Hell!"

Adam knew he was not getting through
with the brute so he fire at it and it charges after him. James
fire at the brute and it charges after him. Andres took fire upon
it but it was Zoe who kills it with a headshot. Maizah walk next to
Adam. "You did it, did you got anything from that?"

"That we just killed a man who was
fighting to stay alive."

Everyone on that mission became a
corporal. James, was wounded for five days, maizah seven and Andres
three. However, while everyone was at the bar celebrating the win
under Adams Brown lead, in the War Room, Commander was getting
calls all throught Canada for Canada was in full panic. "Look, our
team are doing our best that we can, yes we understand the
situation in your country however I cannot send any more of my
troops into battle at this time. Yes we do have planes and soldiers
that are both ready, however we have situations over here as well.
If your country can hold out just a bit longer I promise you
everything will be better."
