A/N: Hello, i know the… 1 person who liked my previous xcom story is likely curious why I'm doing this. Simply put I have access to Xcom 2 and currently don't have access to xcom enemy within. As stated in the description this is gonna be a written version of an Xcom 2 playthrough also some dialoge will be rewritten or cut to make sense with the story.
So here's all the info to keep in mind.
Mods: none this is a vanilla wotc playthrough on the ps4 version.
Difficulty: veteran mostly because I'm still getting use to Wotc enemies.
Advanced options: Precision explosives
Narrative content: Lost and Abandoned, I would play the other missions but I can't do that without the WoTC balance changes. So I'll try to fix the plot holes this creates when they come up. The tutorial is off, as far as this story is concerned it picks up shortly after the commander is rescued and the avenger is already online.
Self imposed rules: because somethings make the game to easy/hard/late games a bit to short. I have set up these rules for myself.
1. I can not use repeaters as far as I'm concerned they aren't in the game.
2. I can't use any of the Chosens special weapons because they are all OP as fuck.
3. I can not initiate the final mission before all the chosen are dead.
4. I cannot initiate the final mission before all the Alien rulers are dead.
And
5. I cannot initiate the final mission before all the alien facilities are destroyed.
So with all that out of the way let's begin.
Prologue Operation gatecrasher.
the commander woke up a giant pain in his head. "Glad to see your finally coming out of it. Don't envy the headache you must have though." The commander focused on the person talking to him. "Still, can't fault Dr. Tygan. Especially as no one's even attempted something like this before."
The commander looked around an unfamiliar room. But he did notice a computer behind the man. The commander tries getting up but the man stops him. "Easy, we're still not entirely sure what they did to you. That chip was buried halfway into your skull." The commander was in disbelief. "Lost a lot of of good soldiers looking for you over the years. Almost gave up hope you where still out there. Acted on the intel as soon as I got word."
The commander finally realized the man talking to him looked familiar. 'Bradford? Wait years?' The commander was even further shocked. "Not sure what you remember but a lots changed. Did the best I could but the last 20 years have been tough without you. If you feel like catching up. Shen has the archive up and running on your terminal."
The commander looked at the computer before slowly getting up.
"I would recommend seeing Dr. Tygan afterwards but a few soldiers decided to take off to destroy a monument to tell the aliens Xcom is back." Bradford said with a tone of disapproval.
"And I need to be there to give them orders… Understood lead the way bradford." The commander finally spoke recovering from his shock.
Bradford noded and lead the commander to the avengers ops center. "Looks like they just arrived. The main comms are yours commander."
The commander looked at the screens as he saw what was around his soldiers via cameras in there uniforms.
Operation Gatecrasher.
Operatives in action: Rk. Kate Murry, Rk. Jin Change, Rk. Ezra Ezra, Rk. Hiroto Nishimura.
As soon as they landed Hiroto looked at Erza distastefully. "Why did you have to drag me into this?" He said in a japanese accent.
"Come in man we got this" Ezra said cheerfully moving to a car showcase taking cover behind it.
"Even then we should have waited for the commander to wake up and to get Bradford's permission" Hiroto shot back.
Kate chuckled at there back and forth and ran for cover behind a car. Hiroto rolled his eye's and took cover behind a nearby tree. Meanwhile Jin who was silent the entire time moved into a building. Taking cover from a nearby patrol of 3 advent troops.
The patrol moved and under the commanders orders Hiroto, Ezra, and Kate prepared themselves while Jin fired onto the patrol. Gunning one down while Kate and Hiroto killed the others with quick and accurate bursts from there rifles.
"Hey one of them dropped something." Kate said and Jin nodded and moved up to a planted bush to see what it could be. "Can't get a good look." He said before moving to a nearby statue for better cover per the commanders instructions.
Ezra Kate and hiroto moved to nearby cover before Ezra moved up to see if he could grab the object the grunt dropped safety however it was then when he saw a patrolling advent officer and 2 more troops.
They acted fast and took nearby cover but Ezra with his keen eye's noticed one was more exposed and quickly killed him with an accurate shot from his rifle. During the distraction Kate moved up to a nearby bench and hunkered down readying herself for an opportunity to open up while Jin provided covering fire. Hiroto moved up and prepared to cover Ezra if anybody tried flanking him.
The officer pointed at Ezra and gave a command before firing a shoot that hit the cover Ezra was hiding behind. The Advent grunt moved up to get a better shot on Ezra despite Hiroto firing upon him. The grunt however missed only for Kate to move up and finish him with a flanking shot. Jin also moved up and hunkered down while Hiroto kept covering the pinned Ezra who also hunkered down.
However a nearby car explosion lit Ezra's cover on fire the officer saw this and prepared to shoot Ezra if he moved Kate thought fast and threw a grenade at the officer removing his cover and covering Ezra's advance on him who quickly finished the officer off by emptying his entire clip into the officer.
"Asshole." Ezra said.
"Bradford said we should be clear the sensors aren't picking up any alien or advent activity." Hiroto said removing a finger from the radio his his helmet.
Ezra smiled "perfect!" He yelled moving to the giant elder monument and setting the X4 charge as all the squad rush to the evac point.
Operation gatecrasher status: success
Aliens killed 6.
Soldiers wounded 0.
Soldiers killed 0.
Promotions: Rk. Ezra Ezra was promoted to Squaddie sharpshooter
Rk. Hiroto Nishimura was promoted to squaddie grenadier
Rk. Kate murray was Promoted to squaddie specialists
Rk. Jin Chang was promoted to Squaddie Ranger
"That was some mighty good shooting their Ezra." Kate says and Ezra chuckles.
"I was top marksmen in my class before the world went to shit." Ezra said smiling at the compliment.
Meanwhile jin laid back into his seat trying to ignore the two. He disliked Kate due to how much she talked when she got drunk and she got drunk a lot. Ezra was fine if a little too laid back for his taste Hiroto was the only one he really got along with.
Thought puzzlingly to Jin despite there bickering Hiroto and Ezra had a really good relationship. Rumor has it they were operatives in the original Xcom but he shrugged those off. It didn't matter if they where or not just that they could save humanity.
'And no matter the cost I want to save it from the Advent' Jin thought during the trip back to the Avenger.
A/N: and that's the end of the prologue Mission 1 should be up soon featuring the commander meeting Shin and Tygan and a few more rookies going on a mission. Also Hiroto and Ezra where actually soldiers from my long war campaign (which failed). both standouts for how well they did and Ezra stood out for the name. I have a few idea's where there character's could go. but who knows if they will get there. I'm usually good at getting soldiers out alive but I am prone to making mistakes that can cost soldiers there lives. But until next time tell me what you think, how I could I improve, and what you think will happen next. cause even I don't know.
