HI GUYS
This is my first story, which I want to share with you since my friend (way to long to be named... now) showed me this place. I also uploaded (hopefully it worked) some Twilight Fan Fics... but I must say, Modern Warfare is more of my thing.
I hope you guys can understand my English :(, I know it isn´t that good. I´ve never shown my Fan Fiction before and I think I have a lot to learn, so if u guys think there is something wrong or something could be better, just say it.
If u guys like it, I will post the second Chapter and so on. If nobody likes it (hopefully not the case) well, no more chapters.
My objective is, that you enjoy reading this story as much as you enjoyed playing the game...
So now: the story.
Chapter I: Where the hell am I?
It was so dark. I couldn´t hear a thing. Everything was blurry and there was only one thing I could think of... where the hell am I? Suddenly I started seeing shapes. There were these wood planks and stripped red-white cloth over me. Then, I could see further, it was the sky. It was a sunny day and the clouds were moving fast. It reminded me of my Senior Trip to Catalonia, that night after hooking up with the Danish girls… and ending up with our asses kicked by their boyfriends, waking up the next morning under a bench just next to the beach. I just knew it wasn't something alike. I wouldn't laugh with my buddies about this. And then I heard the sound. That scream in the ears all of us had to go through sometime. It's like the end of the handicap time, the whistle of the Referee before the 2nd half. The gunshot before the Triathlon. For our kind it meant back to Duty… to the Battlefield.
"Yo dude, hurry. We are going, now!" Rick said. He helped me with the debris of the market stall I'd landed at… that was laying all over me, and then back on my feet. My SCAR's ACOG didn't make it through the flight. I couldn´t ever aim down that broken scope, but I still needed something to fight back. My mate was keen on only using Iron Sights… "it´s "Just because"" he always said (And even made this "finger" thing). I must say... at the moment I was a bit jealous.
I couldn't care less about my orders (Which I had by then already forgotten). Everything was gone, my training, my manners… it was like theÜbermensch was coming out of me. Hauptsache, I had to leave safe and sound. Rick and I were on our way to what was left of our HUMVEE, but before we could do anything, OpFor soldiers shot another RPG round in our way… making our vehicle burn in flames. We fell to the ground, but I could quickly regain balance. I grabbed Rick, who laid flat on the ground and started running away from the fire. I heard the supply crates locks unlocking, and the ammo cooking off. It would have been stupid to go back… everything we had left in the HUMVEE didn't exist anymore. I just run towards the city, in direction of a long alley, where we would get our payback ambush. It would I had lost my googles in the explosion. They could be melting with the rest of our stuff, or maybe they just fell to the ground, but I started caring less about sand getting in my eyes, and more about the enemy who had started to follow us.
"They are following us!" I yelled, but trying to hide my nervousness.
"Just shut up and run dude!" Rick replied, still hanging in my back.
Somehow Rick got tired of being pulled, so he requested me to let him run by himself (Of course I didn't argue). Almost instantaneously we were again on the way. I didn't quite know where we were going, or what we were supposed to do, but I was so scared at the time… the idea of getting killed (Or worse, becoming a POW) had been so surreal until that point. Nothing can really prepare you for that. Fighting for your life. Philosophy classes came to my mind… maybe Hobbes was right, maybe it was really a free-for-all deathmatch.
"Im out of audio Rick… can you contact my bro?". I requested, cause my earplug wasn't transmitting anymore.
Rick tried contacting my brother Sky over the radio; no answer. He tried HQ, no answer. We were on our on for this. Sky was the first to get out of the HUMVEE when we got ambushed, so I was sure he made it out alive. Although Rick was having a hard time contacting him over audio, I knew he was ok. It is one of those feelings twins are said to have. I don't know about all of us... But we do have that special bond.
We saw some shadows ahead… so we suddenly made a left turn, and went up a staircase. I pulled out my pistol and aimed downstairs... Covering Rick as he got in position behind me.
I could hear them scream; yell at each other trying to find us. Still they couldn't. We hid there, and waited between crates, until our pursuers gave up the search.
Rick tried repairing his radio, while I tried locating our position through GPS. We had walked our way towards the city… and were a kilometer away from where the remains of our Vehicle were. Rick wasn't going anywhere with his radio, so I checked my earplug, to find the reason it was not working. The cable was cut. I tried sticking both ends together, and I actually got some radio shower and could listen a voice in the background.
"Hey Rick, I need your headphones, my radio is working but my earplug is screwed". I whispered. He didn't hesitate, pulled the plug out and throw them over to me. I put my faulty earplug in my knee pocket and tried luck with Rick´s. It worked, it actually worked. I heard "The Boss" from CP.
"…o Unit, here is CP. What's your status? Over!" He yelled. They've been probably trying to reach us.
"Here Echo Unit, over" I said… trying not to be loud enough to blew our cover.
"What's your status son, over?" He said now calmly.
"We got ambushed about an hour ago. It's only "Riot" (Rick´s codename) and me. Sky is gone MIA. We just got audio back online. Over". I felt relieved that now, they at least knew we were still alive.
"Ok son, give me your coordinates and I'll get you out of there."
I passed the coordinates over, and I was told to hold on for further orders.
"Boss, what is going to happen with my brother?" I started to care more about Sky, I hoped we had met already.
"It's up to you Soldier. About 3 kilometers directly south from your position is the nearest Rendesvouz Point. I wouldn't hesitate going there. If we hear from your brother, we'll let you know".
Rick took his compass out of his pocket and looked for the south. The staircase we had gone up, went directly south, so we started moving that way. It was a dead end. About 10 meters in that direction, there was a fountain, making a roundabout to three houses. He thought the best thing to do, was going down the stairs and then trying to make a you turn. We moved towards the staircase, and then we spotted a little girl holding a bowl with fresh fruits… red apples to be precise. She started screaming, dropped the the bowl and run down the staircase. The bowl and the apples fell down the stair. The metal bowl bounced twice, before reaching the alley at the end of the staircase. It spun for about 5 seconds, making that characteristic sound.
We heard the militia again. They knew our position now… probably everybody knew that by now. I got to thank that girl if I ever see her again. Their voices became louder and louder, and then, at that point we could see their shadows. They were coming from the left.
"Back to cover Rick!" I said. Trying not to make more unnecessary noise… and get more unnecessary attention. Hopefully they will end up thinking the girl just saw an animal and run.
They started walking slowly, step by step... Rick pulled out his "Dad´s mirror" (Rick´s dad was a dentist, despite of his terrible orthodontics)
"I see movement ahead down the stairs, 2 tangos moving to the east" he whispered. They didn't spot us, they both just walked by.
"Payback time bitches!" Rick said, getting out of cover and about to go down the stairs and ambush them. I went to get him and grabbed his shoulder.
A 3rd Soldier showed up. He made eye contact with Rick. He was about to start firing at us, when a grenade dropped by his feet.
"Watch out!" Rick yelled. But it was too late... We didn't have time to get under cover. We weren´t in the grenade's effective radius… but it was still close enough for shnarpel to damage our clothes and rip some skin, or even muscle tissue. We saw the light, twice.
The loud bang and the bright flash… proved us wrong. I was quite relieved my story wouldn't end in this crappy town in the middle of Arsch der Welt, but I knew I´d need some painkillers and Tinnitus pills to sleep that night. The bang was actually really loud. I could hear Rick swear in every language. He is kind of delicate about flashbangs, he just doesn´t like them. For me it wasn't that bad. Just the feeling of not dying there, made me kind of enjoy the suffering.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes... Were two hands holding an apple. Like the cover of this book about Vampires who can show up in daylight, that my best friend Kaylee used to read. Then, those hands threw the apple at me, hitting me in the face.
Looking back again, this time there was a hand offering help to stand up.
"Next time, please make more noise" Sky said while he helped me on my feet again.
It must had been already an hour and a half since we got ambushed, but Sky looked down to earth, as he didn´t just risked his life in this stupid desert town.
"Oh my god Sky, next time you do that let me please somehow know, ok?" Rick said, while reaching his fist to Sky's face. Then he hugged him and said "Thanks Dude". We all took a breath.
"Guys can we just go, please?" Rick was still shit scared. To be honest, although I tried playing it cool... I couldn't agree more.
"Command Post, here is Echo. The Three Musketeers are on their way, over" I said. The Three Musketeers was the code for the 3 of us being together.
"Our UAV saw a Flash down there, are you guys ok?, over" Somebody in CP called.
"It was Sky's Flashbang. We are on our way to the Rendezvous Point, over and out" Trying to concentrate on how we were going to run the 3 kilometers through that town, now that everybody knew we were here.
"We must run!. That bang and the gunshots must have warned the whole town" I said, nervous of meeting more militia.
"Well… I didn't receive any orders… where to then?" Sky said, still playing it cool.
"To the south, this way!" I said, going to way the militia came from.
We were already on our way south. It was just and alley 15 meters away, parallel to the staircase and smaller than the one we were running through.
"They'll make us pay for the HUMVEE guys" Rick said as a Joke
"Well… I got a few quarters in my wallet…" I said following his game.
"Don't worry about that guys, I got something for "The Boss" that will pay for 30 HUMVEEs".
Rick insisted to know what that thing was; but Sky's main worry at the time was sprinting those 3 kilometers and praying not to face any major resistance in the way.
