The 99th Platoon
(A/N This whole story was written up at gamefaqs.com by a group of people working together. We all had our say in the story. Since I started it off I've decided to write it up. Right now I'm sifting through the posts trying to string it together. This is only the introductory chapter so it is a tad tedious. Things will get better though, I promise you that)
Chapter 1: Meet the boys
A lone figure sat in an untidy office late one night. The only light came from a small, dim, desk lamp on the table and from occasional flashes of lightening through the window. The rain had been falling heavily all night. He sat upright, corrected his posture, and continued reading through the file he was holding. The file read:

Sarge flipped the file closed, stood up and scratched himself. He was a squirrel who was getting on with his life and happy with what he had done with it. He had been in the military since he was 18 years old. A grey squirrel with a broad, barrel chapped chest who spoke in a deep, husky voice that demanded authority. Medals strewn across his chest meant one could easily see he had a place in the military. He sighed.
"You'd think nineteen years in the army would mean something to those pen pushing big wigs…a mission as crucial as this and I get rookies," he turned off the desk light and walked to his bedroom. He was still muttering about the system when he fell asleep.
