The sound of gunfire rang through the night, the glass shattering as bullets ran through them.

"Wasn't this meant to be easier than this?" A female voice asked in an annoyed tone as she fired into a doorway.

"It was, we got the data didn't we." A gruff voice answered also firing but into another doorway.

"Just shut up you two and fire." A Russian accent said as he reloaded his rifle.

"Sledge, call base, ask for some back up immediately." another voice called, his voice showing his uneasy state of mind.

"On it Thermite, Valkyrie cover me." He said dropping his weapon, hiding behind his cover.

"Thatcher, you there..." He waited for a reply. "Yeah, what's your situation?" He asked concerned.

"We need backup, the white masks have more forces than we thought. We are holding but not for much longer, all of us are running low on ammo and need more." He answered tensing as a explosion happened a few metres away from a grenade.

"Very well, first of the reinforcements should be there in a few minutes, the recruit is alone though. You will have to wait another half an hour to get any more." came Thatcher's response.

"Ok, if that's the best you can do but it won't be long now before we have to start to have casualties." Sledge responded putting the radio away, growling slightly in annoyance.

(Line Break)

(Thatcher POV)

Pulling out another radio he placed a call. "Recruit you there?" He waited before getting a reply.

[yEs] A distorted voice answered.

"One of our teams near your location is in need of backup, provide assistance." "They're trapped on the top floor of the building, running low on ammo, the data they have is invaluable stop for nothing to get us that data." He provided getting...

[VeRy wElL] In response before putting the radio down, hoping that the new recruit was as good as his record showed which wasn't much in itself anyway.

(Line Break)

(Recruit POV)

[PiLoT, PuT uS dOwN oN ThE RoOf, WaIt fOr tHe OpErAtOr's tO BoArD, TaKe OfF AnD HeAd BaCk tO BaSe] The recruit says to the pilot who nods been given orders to listen to the recruit.

"Yes Sir." He replied changing direction to the stuck operators, accelerating the helicopter to get there as fast as possible.

(Line Break)

(Valkyrie POV)

"So what did he say?" The Russian voice asked as he had just ran out of ammo in his rifle and was using his pistol now.

"He said that we'll get a person in five but any more than that the new recruit would be another half an hour out Fuze." Sledge Growled in frustration as he raised his rifle.

"Comrade calm down I'm sure..." Whatever Fuze was going to say was interrupted by the radio buzzing to life.

[GeT tO tHe RoOf, StOp FoR NoThInG, tHiS iS aN oRdEr fRoM bAsE ThE dAtA Is tOp pRiOrItY] A distorted voice spoke from it.

For a moment no one moved. "Well then here are the reinforcement." Thermite mutters as he moves towards the door gun raised.

"Well let's not stand around waiting for the white masks to say welcome." Fuze says walking out of the room and into the corridor.

Valkyrie and sledge look at each other. "Well someone has to make sure they don't die now." Sledge says earning a chuckle from Valkyrie.

"Well come on." she says as they run after them.

Running through the corridors of a once busy building, now burning, full of bullet holes and casings. It made the two think about the chaos one group could cause.

'Let's hope what we do has some good come from it' Valkyrie thought sagely as she continued running, turning the next corner however.

*Bang*

The next thing she knew was the colour and hardness of the floor of the corridor they were running through.

Whipping out her pistol she looked behind her to see a white mask holding a rifle with some smoke coming off it's muzzle.

Lining him up in her sights she fired, getting a direct shot on his head making him fall to ground.

'Now that that bastard is dealt with time to get out of here.' She thought trying to get to her feet only to get a sharp pain, forcing her back to the ground.

Looking at her legs she saw one of them with a hole in them, steadily leaking blood.

Tilting her head towards the opposite door, she saw sledge starting to run back to her, only to shake her head.

There was not enough time. "Go!" She yelled at him. "Not without you." He responded tension creeping into his voice.

"I'll only slow you down and make you easier to hit... I'll be fine... Go get the data out of here." She said getting a reluctant nod from Sledge.

Sighing she tried to move her body as best she could to a place where she wouldn't be easily spotted.

'That will probably be the last time I'll ever see them again.' She thought sadly, lying down fully listening to the noises going on around her, the yelling, gun fire, screams and a soft metallic clicks.

Closing her eyes to conserve some of her rapidly disappearing strength she felt something nudge her arm. Moving her arm slightly, thinking it was her imagination playing tricks with her and ignored it.

A few seconds later she felt something nudge her again, opening her eyes, she found herself looking into a pair of glowing red eyes, on her shoulder.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the little robot jumped off and ran around excitedly before stopping in front of her, giving her the opportunity to get a good look at it.

It was a small metallic spider with two red glowing eyes, a shiny black body with a barrel on either side.

"Hello little fella." She said weakly reaching out to it, it meeting her hand so she was rubbing it.

'I wonder where you came from then.' She thought looking at with a small smile on her pained face.

(Rest of them POV)

After running the gauntlet of the building up to the roof which had got significantly quieter, they then noticed one of them was missing.

"Sledge where's Valk? You were the last one to see her right?". Thermite asked as they climbed into the copter.

"She, she... was shot in the leg, she asked to leave her so we could escape... You remember the orders 'stop for nothing' and all." He said sombrely, the others losing the smiles they had had on their faces, at the thought of losing a team operator and friend.

"Hopefully comrade is able to get out in one piece..." Fuze said hopefully as the helicopter took off and back to base.

All not believing him, even himself didn't believe what he said. With a shot to the leg the chance of escaping and returning to base were drastically dropping.

After some time in the helicopter the pilot turned around. "I thought there vere four of you?" He questioned.

"There were Jager, Valk was injured and is still there." Thermite said looking down.

"I see... Shall I call it in?" He asked as the group nodded for their answer.

"Jager to base, you there?" He waited before...

"Yeah what's your status?" A voice answered.

"All of them made it to the rescue copter, however Valkyrie has to be declared... MIA." He said

"... There's possibility she vill be interrogated for information." He said after a second.

"I see... And the new recruit, what of him?" The voice asked.

"He left the copter and headed down into the building, no sign of him." He said.

"I see well hopefully what he said to me was true, otherwise there will be no way he will be coming back." The voice said sighing, "I'll let the others know of the loss." The voice said sadly turning off the radio.

'Hopefully they will recover from this loss' Jager thought as he looked back at his teammates... and family.

(Base POV)

{Everyone come to the common room for urgent meeting} A female voice came over the loudspeaker system.

Within minutes the whole base's operators were within it's confines.

"What's so urgent?" An American accent asked looking towards their director, Six.

"We... We have our first MIA, Valkyrie, was apperently injured and had to be left behind for the good of the team."

At this announcement several operator's hands clenched, anger visible in their eyes.

"And there is a possibility that they might interrogate her too... For the next 72 hours we will be on high alert in case they try and attack our base. Understood?" She asked in a firm voice getting several 'yes ma'am' in reply "Good." She said leaving the room.

As soon as she did a table flipped and landed on it's side, with a loud bang, thanks to an American. "Craig calm down, she'll be fine." A voice tries to reassure him.

"No she isn't, she's probably already gone." He said leaving the room.

(Valkyrie POV)

After what seemed like an eternity, the sound of more little metallic clicks were heard again.

'At least I'll have more of his little friends to keep me company as I die.' She thought, when the sound of footsteps was heard, coming closer.

Holding her breath she hoped whoever it was wouldn't spot her.

After a few more seconds the source of the metallic clicks were able to be seen, four more little spider like robots, like the one she had on her arm right now.

Slowly she could feel herself drop into an unconscious state when in front of her a figure slowly started to seemingly phase into existence.

The hooded, gas masked face that reminded her of Mute's slowly descended towards her as couldn't fight sleep any longer, her vision fading into blackness.

Hope people enjoyed this, It was sort of a prologue for the story. Unless lots of people (around ten or so) Then I'm just writing this for my own enjoyment.
