Captain Narville quarters

Naruto stood before the door of Captain Narville's quarters. He didn't know why he was called here, he knew about the captain's reputation for taking care of his soldier's lives and he was from the southern parts of Vekta. He was rather hard against his men but got a big responsibility for leading the upcoming attack on the capital city of Helghan by leading the convoy Avenger through the beach to Visari Square to its last objective: to secure visari castle and arrest him for crimes in the conduct of warfare. Everbody already knows that it would be a bloody job. The Helghast would fight for every inch of the city and that they would show no mercy. So the captain wants to make sure that most of his men would survive.

So naruto knocked on the door and waited for an answer. "Come in" the door opened and naruto walked in to see captain Jason Narville looking at a status report on his table, he looked up and saw naruto and said "Private Naruto" naruto saluted "sir" and stood in formation.

Captain Narville said "at ease soldier" he said and was sitting on a chair and said "sit private" naruto sat on a chair on the opposite of the captain and asked "permission to speak sir?" and the captain said "sure"

Naruto proceed "Why am I here sir?"

the captain answered "Private as you know I am in charge in leading the convoy in the attack against the Helghast forces in Pyrrhus city. So I need to have good sergeant's to lead their teams in combat. I went through your files and saw that you are an excellent shot and have surprisingly good leadership skills".

Naruto wasn't surprised, he took those exams for a promotion for Sergeant but they already have a sergeant. Well they had...

"As you know your CO has been transferred to a other team so I am placing you as CO of your team. Congratulations Uzumaki you're now a sergeant." The captain smiled and shook my hand.

I was shocked at this stunning news I haven't even fought and I already am promoted. "Thank you sir you won't regret this." Narville smiled "good now go and get yourself some rest, I will file you're promotion paper. now get your team together when we are on the battlefield alright?" "yes sir" Naruto said and went out of captain Narville's quarters and went straight to his team.

several days later Strategy room

every marine was listening to captain Narville instructions on how the convoy should move and who does what. Jeffries got was in a other team that has to go to the northern beachhead of the capital to clear the path for the convoy while naruto's team should provide cover fire for the Punisher convoy's right flank after clearing the beach were other ISA intruders should land with the reinforcement. After captain Narville was done Colonel Templar talked to the marines "Marines! its you're main objective to lead the convoy Punisher through the helghast defensive lines, after securing the beachheads you shall regroup with Captain Narville as soon as possible to take over Visari square, you got that marines!" "SIR YES SIR!" shouted every marine in the room.

Colonel Templar had a smile on his face of pride. "okay you're dismissed, get your weapons and ammo you would be leaving in 10 minutes good luck and God bless you.

Intruders launch area

Naruto was getting ready for the upcoming landing by preparing his 82 Assault rifle and having a few hand grenades with a revolver for just in case. when he saw Rico with his team also known as Alpha squad for being on suicide missions. he decided to go talk to Rico before they go.

"Hey Rico" Rico turned his head and smiled "hey naruto" the two friends slapped hand. Rico asked "were you going?" Naruto said "I am assigned to go in as the first attack wave to protect the the convoy's right flank after securing the landing zone" Rico said " alright lets who kills the most of those Helghast" Naruto smirked "you bet" then the final order was given

"All marines get to the intruders in 3 minutes, I repeat to the intruders"

Naruto was a little shaken but then Rico said "don't worry I got that first too when I was on the frontline in the beginning" Naruto said "thanks Rico".

Then all marines were in their intruders, naruto was with Frank, Donnie, Satine and 2 other marines in one intruder while Jeffries was with the other intruders already away.

Naruto watched as the cruisers shot their missiles at the city and naruto thought "get that you bastards" when suddenly the intruders went down fast enough to then go flying the Landing zone when he saw dark clouds and said "Don't breath that stuff in man!" Naruto pulled his black bandana over his mouth. Seconds later their intruders was under fire by AA guns and an intruder exploded right above them and one marine's body hit his intruder and his blood was stained on the side.

When the intruder finally landed naruto shouted "go! go! go! get some cover!, come on marine!" naruto pulled on marine on his side of a broken wall as the helghast were shooting down on them and killing 1 of the marines with bullets pouring down on him as he fell death.

Naruto saw two helghast shooting with automatic guns at a group of 5 marines who were pinned down behind a destroyed intruder.

He took aim at the helghast and shot on of the in the eye and the right temple as he fell down and then shot 4 round at the other helghast with all 4 bullets aimed at his chest as he fell on his back.

Naruto heard him gurgling on his own blood as naruto shot a bullet at another helghast who was trying to throw a grenade at a medic who was trying to take care of a soldier who was already dying. Naruto shot the helghast in the arm causing him to drop the grenade and saying "SHIT grenade take cover" BOOM! as the explosion went 3 helghast bodies were flying from their cover as one of them was screaming in pain.

When naruto went to the trenches he saw 3 helghast soldiers shooting down on 4 marines that were trapped and were dead before they hit the ground, naruto nodded to Donnie and Satine to shot at the Helghasts they shot at them with 10 bullets all over their body and the helghast were dead before they knew it naruto screamed "Regroup men we need to go to clear the landing zone ASAP.

As naruto and his team with 4 other marines were moving out to not notice a Helghast with a bazooka shot his rocket at the group marines as the rocket hit 2 of the marines as one of them lost his legs and the other died Naruto was looking where that rocket came from and found him but Satine was first by shooting the Helghast first with a bullet between the eyes.

Satine was good sniper and naruto was glad that she was on their side.

Naruto and the rest of the marines in total of 6 saw the objective point that they needed to secure till the reinforcement arrived. They were under heavy fire as 6 Helghasts came out of nowhere and started shooting hitting on marine in the throat and the left eye, he died before he know what hit him. Naruto and the others took cover as they started shooting back.

Frank took aim at 2 Helghasts as he was armed with a SL13 shotgun as he shot one time hitting one of them on the side of his hip and he fell down screaming as the first shot also wounded the other Helghast that hit his right arm, as frank shot again he hit the Helghast with the wounded arm in the head, blowing his head of as the screaming Helghast tried to crawl away, Frank took out his pistol and shot the Helghast in the back of his head and frank said "Happy dream red eyes".

Donnie and Satine were taking cover behind a broken wall they were taking heavy fire from 3 Helghasts and when they stopped shooting and trying to reload, Donnie took his change to throw a grenade over their when Satine laid down to shot at the Helghasts, one of the Helghast tried to throw the grenade away only for Satine to shot him in the chest which he dropped the grenade while the other 2 Helghasts tried to run away only yet again to be shot as ducks by Satine killing both of them.

while one of the marines took a shot at one of the Helghasts that he dropped, he didn't noticed that a Helghast with a flamethrower was ready to burn him. When naruto saw him he tried to warn the marine only for the Helghast to burn him.

He saw how the marine screamed in agony while the only thing naruto could think of was to kill the Helghast by shooting his gas tank that was connected with his flamethrower that exploded.

He heard the Helghast scream while the flames made him die slowly. Naruto saw the last Helghast trying to flee only for him to shoot him in the back.

Naruto looked at the burned marine and saw that he was still alive but his entire body was burned and saw that the man was in pain. Naruto went to him and took his hand and the marine said "tell I'm sorry sir" Naruto asked "what's your name Marine ?" the marine said "Tom, Tom Savage" as Tom died breathing his last breath and his hand slipped from his hand and he was dead.

Naruto later told on the radio that the landing zone was secured and that they lost over 10 marines and waited for the reinforcements to arrive with Rico with them. But naruto knew that the war just started.
