Prologue.
Sitting alone in a corner jason began writing in his journal.
"It is said people are afraid of what they don’t understand. If that’s the case it would seem that the world is full of fear, condemning it to a life of Turmoil. The world is not my problem, this nation is. Since the New Covenant it seems that soo many people have been wronged, and I Could have stopped it, Could I have? No point in worrying about that now. The war has been taxing on all of us and I don’t know how long I can hold on. They look to me as their leader, but I can’t be a leader, I have no place to lead them. I asked them to help me fight The Government which, for so long, protected our rights. "
----He sighed as he put down his journal looking out the tinted window of the Main base his head in his hands. The night mist crept in through the small Crack in the window. The sky clouded with Smoke from burning buildings, "Will it ever end?" He shook his head looking over the destruction, thinking of how it was before the War, before the politics, before Reality had barged into his life unexpectedly. He was only 25 but the war had aged his face to what looked to be 35. His messy hair covered his face and ran down to his lower back. He hadn’t had a shower or any sleep in about a week. "If I could just have changed that one action, if only... If only is imaginary, and this is real. I need to assume my position and continue onward." Getting up from the window sill Jason began to head outside when he was caught by Chris his second in command.
----"Jason!!! What were you doing that close to the window, you could have easily been sniped" he hurried Jason to a safer position. As they stopped Jason sat down and relaxed again "What’s the point Chris? Were already losing this war, everyone sees it on the map. Our territories decrease with almost every battle and we are all fatigued out of our mind... What’s the point anymore?" he threw up his arms showing his willingness to surrender. Chris only a year younger then him retained his age, Jason made sure of it, he didn’t want the pressure or stress of this war to effect anyone as it did him. Chris was not as tall or broad in stature but his brain matched that of any Jason had ever met before. His hair a bit messier but in an order that had been known as his 'style' he had seemed to find time to keep himself in order.
---- Chad had come from the shadows descending a staircase in behind them "You guys busy?" he asked. Chad was completely opposite of Chris. He was broad and average height, his complexion was a bit fairer than either of them, and his eyes always seemed to look toward the future, in a sense he was the leader but everything was always cleared through Jason, Jason was the figure head of their army despite who came up with most of the plans. “Quit queering around," Chad said, never one to with hold any aggression "if you need a morale boost follow me" he nodded to Chad and the Picked him up and brought hem down to the main level. They both showed Jason to the main barracks.
----The aroma was that of Alcohol and sweat, which was no longer an ordeal. Seeing all of the happy faces, and enjoyment showed Jason that he had been doing the right thing and had do continue in order to return freedom to a once great nation. "Thanks guys" he said bowing his head with a slight smile. They carried on all night, it was one of the first respites they had in a long while.
The Welcome everyone gave Jason was like that of a king being welcomed into his castle. Jason had forgotten how many lives he'd touched through this war. He had brung hope through his vision to those who would have easily given up. It seemed as though he was destiny's hand ready to change the world. It emanated from him like a light in the darkness. That’s exactly what he was to them, a light in the darkness.
---- Early next morning Jason grabbed the first shower he had in a long time. It was reviving him from the death it seemed he had experienced for so long. Stepping out with a towel around his waist, scars that he had gained from the many battles shown across his chest and waist, and the metal plate on his left oblique shimmered in the light from a nearby window in the metallic cylinder of the room he made to be a bathroom. He began to brush his hair back into order when he felt a hand across his waist and a head rest upon his shoulder; He smiled a bit and welcomed the company.
----"So this is why you've avoided changing your clothes and showers when ever I was around." she asked as a tear fell from her face. As he finished fixing his hair he turned and hugged her, "yeah, I knew you'd be upset so I tried to hide them," he said wiping her face "I’m still here aren't I."
She hugged him tighter and buried her face in his chest "I'm so afraid of losing you, any moment you could be shot in the wrong place, Betrayed, I just can’t bear any of that happening to you... Chad said he'd take over for you, why don’t you let him?" she asked looking up at him. "I wouldn’t be much of a protector or leader then would I? Besides he'll have his time" he said smiling back then kissed her on the forehead. She reached her hand up to his neck pulling him close enough for them to kiss. It was a nice relief so Jason kissed her back for a moment then broke it. He turned to get dressed “you know what I have to do today huh?" he said putting on a pair of jeans. "Of course, I'm the leader of your spy faction remember?" she said as she went to lie on the bed. Jason laughed "how could I forget?"
---- Ashley had been in Jason's life longer than any other in the Revolutionist army. They had been engaged a year before the war. It seemed unfortunate but the war brought them closer together than either of them thought possible. Each of them had faced death on many occasions and came back with a stronger love for each other, realizing more and more how much they hated being apart Jason looked to the clock still half dressed and smiled "I have a few minutes before I have to leave" he said with a slight smile. He lay down next to her and placed a hand on her cheek as they began to kiss. She rolled on top of him to throw off her jacket then lay against his chest running her hand through his hair. After a couple minutes of stroking he sat up and started kissing around her neck while running a finger up her spine. He trailed to her lips and began to kiss her again as the door busted open.
---- "Sir, your needed in the sub-sector six; it’s an emergency” said one of his soldiers. Jason sighed as he let Ashley move aside. "Damn these things come up at the worst times." he got up and looked back to Ashely as he put on his shirt and jacket "we'll continue this tonight I promise" he Kissed her one more time and left the building meeting his mechanic and Chad. Chad briefed him with the news "Jason the Army is amassing a large force Sub-sector six, they got tanks mortars, everything. We need to pull a front to the lines if were to keep sub-sector six in our control."
Jason got in the car and was in deep thought. "Where can we pull soldiers and still be safe?" he asked. "No where safely, but we can pull some main fighters and a couple platoons of rookies" Chad suggested. "No!!!," Jason protested "if this is as serious as you say it is then I wont have any rookies in my ranks on this battle, we cant loose lives if its avoidable. Pull as many veterans as possible from every sub-sector, and everyone from sector 10 then we can amass a force that could possibly counter the oncoming assault."
---- "Loosing lives is never something I like doing either but we need some of our veterans for training," Chad replied "were short enough as it is we'll need the rookies whether or not you want them"
---- Jason nodded knowing that Chad was right and turned to Jake “do you have the new mechs ready?"
Jake looked to him with an unsure look "They are complete but they haven’t been tested, well not on all functions yet. They're mobile, and their chassis are stronger than Their T-60 tanks but the weaponry isn’t as stable as we were hoping for." Jason smiled and put his hand on Jake's shoulder “well I guess it'll have to do." Jake looked back at him surprised "dude we got more than one working, we got a good twenty and like fifty on they way, we just added the weaponry to the proto 'cause I wanted to see how well it could operate. HM5 rockets, a BM70 Rpg and a couple rail cannons id say it'll be a good fighting machine when perfected."
Jason looked surprised " you’ve really been at it haven’t you?" he asked.
Trying to hide his excitement in the compliment he casually replied "I'm just a man whose doin’' his job. Want me to show you how it works?" he asked
Jason looked at him with his usual cocky smile and said "I want you to do more than that; I need you to teach me to use it"
----Later that day Jason was at sector six with the reinforcements and platoon of mechs and a select few who new how to use them. Entering the must room through a dust cloak that covered the door. He looked at the plans on the table and looked out a nearby slit window in the bunker. "OK this is what we got," Chad started "They've built up a pretty strong front and they apparently have had mechs in production but they seem inferior to what we have now, Aside from a couple glitches that need to be worked out. They also have superior numbers and armor but their intel is a bit off so we have a small advantage that should even things out. Silas and his men should lead the attack which should draw main fire while a small detail can sneak in and get to their main base."
He paused for a moment wiping the sweat from his brow and clearing the lump in his throat
"This will be a massacre that we haven’t even imagined yet, I know that they could possibly use nukes if they really needed to but to our advantage they won’t due to this is still their land, as much as it is ours. I know that it’s been a long war but this could be the end, this could be the battle that decides the future of our generation and the future of this entire nation."
He rose to see all the people near and far he waited until it was completely silent then began to speak
"We've been stuck in this war for what seems like an eternity, and when it seemed that the entire world was against us we looked them in the face and struck them back, we fought to regain what should have been already established. Our Rights, Our dignity, And Last but certainly not least Our Freedom. Soon we will see a day when those things are returned. Soon we will see a day when life as it should been will be, and on that day we will recognize what we had fought for and have it reestablished for not only ourselves but for the children of the future!"
There was a large shout over the crowd, and it seemed all were taken by Chad's speech.
----Jason then stepped to the podium to deliver his speech "well you certainly have the crowds favor " Main whispered as he ascended his 'podium' He took a deep breath and began thinking of what to say
"I won’t try to top my friend’s earlier speech, I just want my few words and then we can get this over with. Now you've all been briefed on the plan and know the danger, Being as I started this with the help of you all, I want you to know this. I have seen in history too many men sending out their army with no respect for the people they had sent and couldn’t care less what happened as long as they were the victors. Our Army, if you wish to call it that, is stitched together through the relationships we have gained through our experiences, not through repetitive special training. Look at the people around you, you all know each other, your hopes and dreams, the things you hate and the many things that make each other tick," Mains voice escalated with the feeling that was being released through his vocal cords which seemed to be spoken of God instead of himself " This would prove to be enough to show that we can take out even the best of any Force that would oppose us. So as we take on what would seem to be this final battle I want you to know that in this struggle for our freedom and our Pride... I will be joining you all at the front of the ranks and Our invincible bonds, formed through the years of fighting and protecting each other, should cut through our enemies forces like an unstoppable sword and win this day" he threw his hand up in a fist and everyone began to shout.
----The energy in the bunker seemed almost visible. Catching his breath and trying to regain his voice Jason sat down for a moment and then looked to Chris and Chad "you guys ready for this?" he asked through his heavy breathing.
---- "you’re going to be on the front line?!?!?" Chad asked "what the hell, are you crazy?" Chris only nodded in concurrence because he knew that Jason almost always would come through with what he said, and rarely ever let his friends down.
Jason was loyal Chris thought it was possibly to a fault. Many others would flinch or turn in some of the cases where Jason had no problem. It was a thing to admire, but also one that could bring about his demise.
---- "All right, has everyone that we need here arrived?" main asked “I need to know how soon we can start the assault, if we gain enough ground early enough we may be able to pull this off without many casualties"
---- "Sorry sir, but we have a couple people across the country who haven’t arrived yet. We have a lot of people coming in by plane but getting through the anti-aircraft is pretty hard for jumbo jets. Unless you wanna take the long and costly way of using what little military aircraft we have." Silas said
"No I understand, I just hope everything will go fine.” Jason nodded and let out a deep breath. He turned back to Chris and Chad “well guys we got a big couple days coming up and fatigue is the last thing we need to slow us down, I’m turning in, I hope you all do the same." He gave a couple of handslaps and left to his temporary abode.
----Chad watched Jason leave and soon left himself, we went to have a 'night on the town' to loosen himself up to think, his strategies came from the weirdest things but it was always when he wasn’t thinking about it. From a messy table to the way water fell into a glass he'd come up with the oddest plan of attack but it usually had the right results. The streets were dimly lit with fading street lamps, witch reflected off of the puddles that happened to fill up some of the potholes.
Some trash floated down the streets in a pattern that made it seem like an interpretive dance but Chad paid no notice, he turned into a local bar which surprisingly had a bartender in it. "I guess war isn’t for everyone, good to see someone here though"
The bartender nodded "glad to be of service, so what'll it be?” he asked cleaning a glass thuroughly.
"Anything Hard, but I want to wake up tomorrow... So why do you run this bar during a time like this," Chad asked toying his keys "It would seem that you'd either bee working for the King or fighting in our lines."
"I'm not a fighting man," the bartender shrugged "I just hold this place as a refuge for soldiers who need to rest. I'm a peaceful guy, if anyone were to disturb that, I guess I’d have to find other ways but for now I just provide relief for people such as yourself"
'He would have said the same thing' Chad thought, receiving his drink he took a sip and coughed a bit smiling through his squinting eyes "good stuff," he raised his glass
"drink the night away my boy" the bartender said "seems like this world is coming to an end anyway" it seemed as thought he'd given up hope but it didn’t show in the bartenders eyes.
"Nah, I have a big day coming tomorrow, I gotta be fresh," he said with a smile placing his drink down "thanks for the drink" he said walking out into the streets again to find a place to rest his head, "I hope he knows what he's doing" Chad mumbled to himself walking toward the main camp.
----The sun rose bringing the next day, it shone in Jason's eyes as he begin to stir. Covering his eyes with his arm he got out of his bed and looked back to Ashley who was still asleep, he smiled and walked up a nearby flight of stairs to the scout deck. It was Corey's shift apparently but Jason really paid no attention, he asked to look through the telescope to see much time they had until hard contact. It seemed that they were still arranging themselves not quite ready to set up their front. He let out a sigh of relief and nodded to Corey as he headed back down the stairs. Jason had a strong wanting to climb back into bead with Ashley but knew that he had preparations to make. He looked to his watch and noticed that he had gotten up early even for him.
-----He walked into a rusty room with cracked walls that had many holes due to the destruction of the concrete from shelling that was dubbed the 'kitchen' , it was a bit musty and you could see the dust through the light that shown through the cracked ceiling. Looking around to see what they had but he was particularly looking for some coffee. It was like a delicacy now but he remembered the days of waking up to a good 'ol' cup a joe'. "Those days," he thought "My goal is to return those days to those who didn’t have them. Tranquility, peace and Fun, things that we should have now... could it possibly be my fault that we dont have those anymore" he questioned his motiveds on the war often and each time he was more unsure of himself.
----"You're Doing the right thing" a voice said from behind him he turned and saw Chris who was waiting in the doorway "you have so many people rallied to your side, why do you question your motives? Nice soliloquy by the way" He laughed, they both did.
"Soliloquy?, your nuts," Jason laughed a bit more till he found a bit of coffee "your probably right, I just always want the easy way out" he said starting the coffee pot. Leaning against the counter with his arms crossed he had a look of curiosity on his face "why did you join me? I mean aside from being your friend why didn’t you just go with the government doing biochemistry, or something like that?" Chris pushed his glasses back to his nose "well one, as you pointed out I am your friend, and two I didn’t agree with The New Covenant it was against freedom in general, and that is one thing I want my kids to have if I have any" He replied.
"I wouldn’t be surprised if you did have kids after the war, a lot of people look up to you as well as me and Chad," he turned to get the coffee he closed his eyes and shivered as he sipped it "I'm not used to black" Jason said pointing to the cup.
As they were conversing Chad walked into the room in a pair of boxers, he wiped his hair from his face the stretched out his arms while he was yawning "soo, what’s the plan?" he asked looking around the kitchen.
"well I think by tomorrow we'll have all our troops in so the ones in the mechs are training to day along side me" Jason said with a gesture of his hands "other than that you got your stuff to do and Chris has his so yeah you guys figure it out just don’t put Jake in your plans" main said then finished up his coffee "adios" he laughed shook their hands and left to see Jake.
Chad watched Jason leave and looked to Chris "so, I guess that means today is a free day" he shrugged with a smile Chris just looked down and shook his head "actually were almost done with some bioweaponry I gotta finish up on that and then we'll be set" He sighed and turned to leave
"Bioweaponry?"
"Yeah why?"
"You’re going to kill a bunch of people and nudge them to use nukes?"
"No, nothing like that. This is a neurotoxin that puts the body in a state of paralysis for a few hours, about seven. I think it will reduce the death toll and in turn perhaps win us the war with less casualties."
Chad was a bit taken a back "well I guess I’ll just go through some warm up exercises and get back to you, I want to see this work." he said. They both parted and left to their respective rooms to get ready for the main part of the day.
----The sun was at its peak in the sky over the ally of abandoned and demolished housing where Jake was training Jason to use the mech. Impressed with how fast he learned it Jake got into some of the more advanced controls. "Ok, now I hope you never have to use this but under the cushion behind your neck is the self destruct button. If you’re ever in an unbeatable situation and you can take out a crowd I figured why not go out with a bang?"
They laughed for a moment then got back to the mech
"You also have detachable limbs and an EMP attachment. I don’t know why I put it in there but I figure it might be good for something"
"So everything but the kitchen stove huh?"
"Yeah pretty much"
Jason walked around in it for a bit testing the controls sensitivity and its attributes. It was quite a piece of work as far as Jason was concerned. He scaled a couple walls and broke into a couple buildings and deemed it worthy of combat.
"I can’t wait to test it out" he said in an overly energetic voice then he looked back to Jake we need to train a few other people to use the other ones. Jake nodded in compliance and the left to recruit others.
---meanwhile back at the main camp, Chad had gotten into some camo fatigues and brought out the boys for a bit of exercise "Ok guys nothing big today so basically after the exercises we have the day off."
There was a large roar and before it died down, He began their routine and for a half an hour they did basic body work to stay in shape.
"All right boys lets get this done." He said wiping the beaded sweat from his brow, He insisted on wrestling after their basic drills for hand to hand combat.
“Sweep, grab, and Roll. Three techniques that are essential to ground fighting, you want to keep your enemy confused so they don’t know what’s coming next, after that you keep to the basics and then roll them into submission." Chad watched intently over them making sure they had everything down. He was pleased with their progress over time, and impressed with the results. After and hour of practicing he let them take a break.
"When you get back we have a small practice at the firing range and then were done for the day"
---- Chris was deep in thought on how to perfect his neurogas weapon. He went throught the chemical make up a few times looking for any spikes in energy levels or any abnormalities in the make up. He felt like something was wrong but he couldnt put his finger on it. Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly he ran through it agin when he saw a break in the chemical bonding. "I knew it" he said under his breath as he ran a couple tests to find a solution. After long hours of experimentation he double coated his solution with oxygen and potassium to keep it stable then tested it once again. The chimp he was using this time was new, never exposed to any foreign substance to be sure that it was clear as crystal that this would work. As the toxin was released Chad walked through the security door.
"what do you got?" he asked watching the chimp as it first went into a state that looked like an epilleptic seizure then crumpled into fetal postion and laid their seemingly dead.
"looks like a failure" he laughed a bit.
"i said two to three hours" Chris replied annoyed at his arrogance.
Sure enough two hours later the chimp was back to its normal schedule acting as if nothing ever happend. Chris smiled at his achievement and walked uot to get some fresh air.
"Any more doubts?"
"nope that was pretty cool"
---- The day was drawing to a close as Jason Chris and Chad met up in the main base. Each was a bit fatigued from thier day and just wanted to rest. Jason recently received info that the rest of the troops would be coming in soon and he waited to greet them.
"you guys can go out and take a break for the rest of the night if you want to," he suggested "I would if i were you, tomorrow is going to be hell, literally."
Chad stood beside him and put and arm around his shoulder "Bro, i'm in charge of infantry remember. I cant have you doing my job."
"Really? I seem to have been doing a lot of it before the War"
They laughed, Chris laughed a little but felt that he should stay as well "I got nothing better to do so." he shrugged and let it at that.
As the three looked at each other in silence for a moment Jason let out a little laugh and aimed for the car. Chad shrugged thinking that Jason was an idiot but they all got in and headed for the airport hoping for the best.
---- After a couple hours of greeting everyone that was coming in (main) had built up a rather large group of the leaders from different areas. As the last person came out of the last transport (main) looked to the leaders and nodded. They all headed off to a disclosed location. They talked and joked for a while, reminiscing about times before the war but soon settled down to talk about the plan for tomorrow. They all sobered up took their last drings and (#3) pulled out a map.
They placed some peices and pins on key locations as (main) began. "we're hoping for htis to be the final battle of this long and drawn out war. Thier amassing most of what they have as well as us so I see it as who has the biggest guns will win, but thats not necessarily true." He sat back and waited for other ideas to elaborate on. There was a silence for a few moments then (#3) spoke up.
"we know that there is going to be a large battle, most likely almost all of their military so that gives us room for a couple covert ops, which thier most likely to suspect so we gotta do it by the book. We'll send (Gf) and a couple of her crew along with a couple Specs to get in and grab intel, etc. whatever we can find as the battle rages outside. We're hoping that some of thier leaders from thesenate and white house will be there so that we can end this quickly. (Main) has elected to lead the front against thier Might so he cannot be part of this covert mission. So i guess (Gf) i s i mentioned earlier is the captain of this strike team."
(main) looked around for inquisitive faces "any questions?" no one spoke, well then I guess this is how it will be. tomorrow at about 4 in the morning we'll prepare and do this thing," He paused and took a deep breath " I'm scared shitless and i wouldnt be surprised if you were to. Its in our nature to be scared so take the adreneline your going to be pumped with tomorrow and put it to good use. I'll see you in the morning." he turned finishing his statement and left the building shaking as he sat himself down for a few minutes. (#3) came out the door laughing untill he saw (main) "Dude you allright?"
"Just a bit shaken up"
"your sure you want to go through with this tomorrow?"
"i already said i would. Dont worry, I'll get it together"
(#3) lifted him by the shoulders and brought him to his bed "be strong bro"
(main) nodded and layed back. That night he could get no sleep, each time he started to doze he would hear screams and artillary and he couldnt handle it. Looking over to gf He longed for a better life but got up and sat at the edge of his bed wiping sweat beads from his forhead.
"you all right baby?" (gf) asked, as shegot up and began rubbing his back
"I'm just a bit worried thats all" he got up to get a drink of water then layed back in bead. (Gf) layed her head on his chest and held him. "I dont want this to be our last night together"
"me either" he smiled and kissed her.
They released their passion on into the night feeling that it would be their last time together.
----The morning came early and (main) was ready for it. He was the first to arrive at the briefing area and was suited up by his mech. The night sky was waning with the coming sunrise wich was almost breathtaking he thought looking to the horizon.
"If only (gf) were here" he breathed as (#3) came up behind him. "yeah but shes not" he laughed
"Yeah? well your girl isnt here either." (main) laughed "At least we have each other"
"dont even start that"
(main) nodded and waited for the rest of the crew to get there and after about five minutes they were all their suiting up for combat. He smiled as he climed into his mech and warmed himself up to the controls practiceing for a bit unitll everyone was ready. It was about five when all was said and done and they moved out with (main) heading the front. After reaching Alpha point in fifteen minutes (main) held his mechs arm up to tell his divisoin to halt and he climbed out holding a pair of binoculars. Scrambling up to a nearby hill he laid flat and scouted the area. Their were a couple glints of light far off where he began to focus his attention. he say a couple artillary pieces peaking over a range of hills.
"so they want to fight in the city eh?" (main) turned his headset on "new plan boys, were gonna try and surround them, it looks like thier holding up in the city"
Jumping back into his mech hi signaled for them to go full speed as he directed relayed his plan to (#3)
"sounds like a trap" (#3) was looking at it from his map "They may be planning an ambush and i dont wany you going into that."
"yeah well we cant wait, they can deploy other forces and if they know that we have virtually all out people here we'd get screwed in the a**"
"True, i still dont like it though"
"I dont want our secret strike team running into a trap either"
(#3) started to hear fire through the comm and panicked "(Main) (main)!! You there?" no reply, all that was left was static
----"Damn" (mains) Headset had been shot off "well i guess bein alive is something i should be thankful for" he said firing rockets into the artillary. The others followed the same plan, the few mechs that were with them and the tanks that followed. A raging air battle began over their heads where one of his favorite captains (#4) had lead that assault.
"allright guys (main) needs all the cover he can get, and lets see if we can fit in a carpet bomb" (#4) was in the middle of a battle but could always have his mind in two places at once, It was a skill a few of the people in thier forces envied.
"got one on my 5 and closing can any of you take him out?" he asked rolling and looping. After what seemed like an eternity of stylish flying he was free to continue patrolling.
---Back on the ground the air was heavy with anti aricraft and ammuniton. The mechs began to spread out, as the divisoin split into battalions to take out certain sectors of the city. The infantry was right behind the armord corps as the fanned out in front while the armored divison battled the tanks. Still on the outskirts (main) wondered what awiated them in the center of the city. In mid thought he was hit with a shell that blew off one of his rocket launchers. Recovering from the blow he chraged toward the tank while it reloaded and punched a hole in its hull taking out the cannon operators. He chucked a grenade into the tank and put the mechs foot over the whole reminding himself all is fair in love and war as he felt the loss of life. Picking up the tank with the mechs incredible strenght he tossed it toward a few others rolling them onto thier backs while accidentaly taking a few of his infantry. he shook his head and continued to pres forward with his platoon.
----Back at the main base (#3) was giving out orders by the second practically battling the forces himself. He had allready lost platoons delta zeta and kappa
he was tired of losing his people. Looking over to (Gf)'s team he nodded and the were off. "I hope i didnt do that too early" he siged as he heard screams through the comm. He recomposed himself and got back to his position.
----(#2) was in his room most of the morning, sleeping. He wasnt a fighter and he new there was little he could do on the battle field, but he got up and made his way to the planning area hearing (#3) shouting out directions and orders. He asked about (Main) and (#3) took a second to tell him that (mains) comm went out. A quick jolt of concern went through him as he wondered about main. "I hope he comes out of this" he breathed
"You and me both" (#3) nodded.
----After many hours of fighting dodging weaving and planning (main)'s body and mind began to fatigue. he took a couple pills to keep him going but even thos would fad soon enough. His Mech now missing its arms and Rockets was down to its grenade launcher and self destruct mechanism. "No luck, none at all" he said angrily as he stepped on another squad leaving a lot of blood and many screams. (Main) had finally become numb to the loss of the enemies life after the hours upon hours of repeted carnage.
The force he had started off with had been decimated and now he was operating on a platoon, or at least form this front. Due to his comm being blown off he didnt know how the other divisions were doing. They had finally reached the core of the city they had been struggling to take all day. It looked as if it had allready taken some damage from earlier and (main) smiled "Thanks (#4)" he slowly approached the last sector of the city and saw a couple mechs on the ground that werent his.
"Ohh damn" he said looking up to find a mech crashing down on him. He moved his mech a little trying to escape but he wasnt fast enough. A whole team surrounded him as he tried to fling the current mech he was fighting off of his back. They closed in on him aiming to kill him and claim the reward for his death. Seeing no other option he forced his men into a couple nearby builings while unstrapping himself. He lifted the cushion and hit the self-destruct button, gathering his gun and some grenades he sprinted towards what was left from the infantry division. The other mechs turned to shoot him but it was too late. The explosion from the mech nearly leveled anything within a fifty foot radius. The shockwave knocked (main) and the men he was with into the remaing walls of their respective
shelters. Now sustaining what was probably a concussion main tried to steady himself and hoped the rest of his team were doing ok. "well that will definatly get their attention"
---- (Gf) was in the back of the drop off van when the reached a point outside of the attack point. Looking over the briefing with her team they were to infiltrait the main base and hopefully find the enemy leaders and bring an end to this war. The breifing had a baisic layout of the area, which didnt provide much help but She had learned not to rely in intel too much anymore. The van came to an abrupt stop and The team rused out the door. All of them clad in jet black and covered with their high tech equipment, they rushed to the nearest building and scouted the area. It looked as if the battle that had taken place here resulted in a tie, which was unfortunate but happened in war. (Gf) was a bit sad to see familiar faces now gone but continued moving through the destroyed bulidings and debris cautiously. Reaching the the innmost areas ot the city they had found some resistance but diabled them quickly and were at the site of thier target. Busting down the door to the rear exit they found themselves faceing a squad of five similar to thiers.
"Drop your weapons" thier leader said but before he fineshed the sentance they spread out and found cover behind some crates. The enemy reacted as fast as they could but they were now two men down. The room seemed to be a shipping garage which caught (Gf) off guard because she was expecting an office building. She shouted out over the fire to get them repostioned to a place where they could capture thier oponnent but had no luck and doged to a crate closer to thier sqaud leader. She saw her people closing in and was pleased untill she saw one of them fall into the emeies line of fire. She dove out closed her eyes and puled the trigger hoping for the best. The bullet embedded in his skull through his left cheekbone as he dropped limp. As she had taken the chance she herdelf he been shot in her upper thigh on her left leg as the res of her team unloaded on the other two. Ashley propped (Gf) up against a wall near the stairs and asked her how she was doing. (Gf) wrapped he leg up and limped toward the stairs "We dont have much time, hurry". Ashley put (gf)'s shoulder around her neck and carried her while they made their way up the emergancy stairs.
---- (Main), now bloody bruised and all over, had made it the final battle point. He peeked out through a crack in the wall he was hiding behind only to see a military base and a fresh divison ready to stand against the opposition. "I'm gonna need a lot of back-up (#3)" he realyed on the comm he picked up from a downed officer.
"dude were short in supply as it is, (#4) is the only pilot we have left We got two platoons covering (Gf)'s trail and the other six are on the sides, the tactic we came at them with was good bet we didnt have the firepower, or manpower to beat him, from the way things look, id say we lost his one." (main) heaved a heavy sigh "pull a batallion form each side and have them rendevious with us here" (mai) gev him the coordinates and lit a cigar "well boys were in quite a situation" he took a puff and sat back waiting for the new troops to come. He conversed with hte remaining men he had learning about their pasts, thier hopes and their dreams and felt sorry he had dragged them into this. After the long conversation a coupe platoons arrived. It was night time now and the base was well lit, the search lights constantly circling the area.
"Allright, now i know its dumb but we're going to have a frontal assault but we also need a small squad to go in while were distracting thier forces and back up (gf)."
"allright sir, we'll do that" One of the leaders said as he began to pick out a squad.
(main) nodded "Ok we gotta do this hard and fast, so load up and get ready cuz this is our only chance." they all nodded checking thier equipment.
They moved into position and waited for the signal, theier headsets were no longer an option becuase (main) foud out that they had intercepted a couple messages that had slowed them down more than they could have afforded.
----(Gf)'s squad had finally reached the top floor of the tower but found more resistance, this time insurmountable. Two of her squad members reacted and tried to take a shot but were ripped apart by the bullets of the security team protecting the incumbants. (gf) shed a few tears and kneeled before her captors.
The president stepped out with a smile of triumph
"its hard to believe a bunch of wet noses could possibly be this much of a hassle to control"
"Wet Noses?!?!?! Thats all you see us as?" (Gf) screamed out angrily "I wasnt sure at first but i loved him so i followed, know i know he was right"
"Right?, rising up against your govornment, and for what reason, we are only doing whats best for the nation"
"By virtually enslaving the youth, leaving them to tests and books never to know what its like to have fun, or friends. Your brainwashing them into corperate slaves!!!"
"Thats giving it quite a negative connotation, what we are doing is preparing them for the corperate world so they can be productive and happy."
"Happy? they wont know what happy is!!!"
"You wouldnt understand, but after this war is over you'll see, you'll learn that what we are doing is better for the people."
The presidents smile turned to a scowl after the conversation then he walked away and set them up in a containment cell to watch the rest of the war. He stood by them his smile returned as he showed them the final battle that opened up in front of them "You see, as we speak your little rebellion is coming to an end. when its over i can assure you we will have a special place for you and your kind."
---- The sweat now drenched (main)'s body and his hair was a bit in his eyes, Looking frantically around trying to find a weakness in the enemies lines. the battle raged on but from what he could see they were losing the battle, and quickly. Ducking behind a couple dead bodies he looked around and saw an opening, he signaled for three of his men to follow. They ran through the line hoping not to be caught in the cross fire as they gunned down a few of the opposition. A nearby sniper cuaght the attention and took aim.
---- "NO!!!!!!!" (Gf) shouted, "Anyone but him, please Take me instead"
"I already have you" the president laughed, "Besides, this is a critical kill, once (main) is gone your pathetic armies morale will plummit and victory will finally be within our grasp."
(Gf) began to cry as she wathced helplessly on seeing the forboding future.
"he was right, he always was"...
((Well thats it, when i finish i'll be sure to tell you guys))
