Joshua opened his eyes, grabbed Cyren, and kissed her firmly on the lips, "I love you too." He said, smiling, she stared at him in surprise, "H-h-h-How did you…they said you were in a coma…" he smirked at her and said, "Nano-machines, fixed me up, I'm ready to fight now, so help me up." She helped him up, and found a new suit of armor, one with a skull and lightning bolts, on its shoulder. He smiled at her and said, "Let's go prep the team, shall we??"
The doors to the barracks opened, and everyone stared, it was Joshua, alive and kicking, he looked at them, and said, "What are you all gawking at? Get prepped ASPAP!" They grabbed their armor and moved out with the other military units in the Operation.
The area was crowded with tanks, jeeps, gunships, Command APCs, and infantry, in the center of it all was Major Sarah Parker, she stood up on her APC and said, "All right troops, today we are going to take a OND outpost, and whip those sorry dogs good while doing it!" the marines cheered, this is what they all needed, a moral boost, Cyren and Joshua were together with their unit, they held each other's hands, smiling and cheering along with their fellow comrades, Major parker continued, "in exactly 30 minutes, Captain Keyes, will launch bombers and fighter aircraft to aid us in our assault, alright then mount up!"
Everyone hurried to their designated areas, troops got into APCs and tanks moved forward, while artillery vehicles rain hell on the outpost.
Everything was going according to plan…until a large plasma mortar destroyed the left flank, the radio buzzed with damage reports and evacuation requests, the assault was botched, the OND was ambushing them, they all were caught in a trap, Joshua looked up, a large plasma slammed into his position, taking Major Parker's APC with it, all he could see now were hazy visions of his unit fighting their way back to the LZ, and saw that he was being dragged back to the enemy position….
