Oahu Hawaii
January 21st 2018
Hell. If there was only one word to describe what had become of Oahu, was Hell. It was once the best place to go for a tropical vacation. Now, much of Honulu's skyline had been reduced to rubble. US and Kingdom forces constantly clashed, despite for an upper hand.
The news the American Troops received from the mainland wasn't good. Canada had capitulated, and the KDC were heading for Washington D.C. The good news was the Attack on Alaska had been repulsed, meaning units tied up in Alaska we're heading for Hawaii.
But until they got there, the depleting Marine, Naval, and Hawaii National Guard units where on their own.
Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Oahu
"Get your ass up Corporal Long!"
Those were the words that ended up waking Corporal Long. That and the explosions.
He opened his eyes to see his CO, Captain Williams.
Long was about to object, probably to say something along the lines of 'Five more minutes', when Williams pulled him out of bed so fast he thought he might get whiplash. He then tossed him, an M4. "We're under attack. Get your ass up."
Long didn't hesitate. He grabbed the rifle and ran outside wearing only his Marine Fagiutes and a pair of socks, and joined up with a group of fellow Marines.
Only 2 minutes since he got up and he was taking heavy fire from Kingdom Arty and infantrymen
"Where the Hell is our backup." Long shouted to Williams "Did they stop to take a shit?"
"Shut your mouth Corpral!" Williams said as he traded fire with a group of KDC troopers. "The Kingies are sending half of their entire army. They've got us cut off from every direction. In other words, they've just dug their own graves. We're Leather neck! And we're gonna give them a one way ticket to Hell!"
"HURRAH!" The Marines shouted in unison.
The Marines continued to fight off the KDC forces, until the saw the dreaded sigh of a Kingdom tank.
"They've got a tank!" Long shouted.
"Thanks for the update Corpral Obvious." Williams said as he picked up a nearby recoiless rifle and fired, destroying the offending tank...
...Just as another approached
"Oh crap! Fire again! Fire again!" Long urged the Captain
"I can't. We only have round for it." Williams responded.
"We're gonna die." One of the Marines muttered.
Just as the tank we lining up a shot to wipe out the small Marine position, the tank suddenly exploded. Seconds later, a trio of A-10s flew over the firefight, raining Hell on the unfortunate KDC Soldiers.
"Took em long enough." Long muttered. As the KDC fell back, several V22 Orpseys began landing on the base, giving the defenders just what they needed:backup.
Long meanwhile just walked back to the barracks, got back in bed, and went back to sleep.
