Operation Checkmate

"Today, the terrorist group known as the White Masks are placed on the highest priority due to the number of attacks they have done and how deadly they have been but officials say this "threat will be obliterated." Will it be destroyed or is this a cover up of a failed raid? Now for the weather. "

Unknown Unknown aka Deluxe

Ha, damn news aren't they gonna get a surprise, another cover up of a failed raid? Jeez I never knew that we were that top secret but whatever,

"We're here I'm gonna land this thing and be on standby." The pilot said to me "Good hunting Fox 3."

"Thanks and try to keep yourself alive yeah?" I said to the pilot

"Don't worry, I'll be going home to a new born boy. "

"Congrats, I think you'll be a great father." The pilot thanked me for the compliment

I jumped off and the helicopter flew off, I looked around for anything, not just humans but animals too, I walked forward and saw the base, it was big but I knew where I was going so no biggie, my objective was to destroy 3 A-AA guns(Auto-anti aircraft gun) the base had a fence which was electric but the generator seemed to be down so I cut through it, all was fine it seemed quite though, I pressed forward and the first A-AA gun was present guarded by 4 guards I quickly planted C4 went away from that position and soon all C4 's were planted on all A-AA guns, I detonated them all exploding as planned but it set off a chain reaction causing a number of huge gasoline tanks to blow, metal and fire scattered everywhere and smoke rose up into the air making the sky orange and black I saw whites running in fear but most stopped and shot at me I dived for and laid fire down range hitting one in the shoulder and the rest went for cover, but I saw the white mask boss run for a helicopter,

"Checkmate. "

" Roger checkmate confirmed. "

An F-10 dropped a lighting strike killing everything and sending my flying, I caught shrapnel in my shoulder and bottom right abdominal, both very big, as I looked around I saw a silhouette, it was the white mask boss he walked towards me gun raised, I looked around for something to throw, frantically, I found nothing but I got an idea, I grab the metal in my shoulder and ripped it out, it was like a knife, I threw it and it caught him in the eye, everything just stopped, I sat there bleeding to death glaring at the chaos, fire poured smoke into the sky, the smell of gasoline filled the air and I could just imagine the faces of the news, seeing the destruction and the bodies of white mask soldiers and possibly a spec ops member which would be me, I was losing blood quickly but the sound of rotating propellers smashing the sound barrier but it was slowed down, someone picked me up and carried me to the helicopter, I grunted with each step, it was causing discomfort in my injury, I was laid across the floor and Doc treated me, he slowly pulled the shrapnel out, I hissed at the pain it stung like a Bitch, he stitched it up and bandaged it up, then gently lifted me on the seat I sat straight trying not to wreck the stitches, then he bandaged the shoulder wound luckily it wasn't as bad,

"It seems you are very lucky and brave, going by yourself to the best base the whites have. " He said looking out the window

"Either way I'm happy the threat is dead, I need a break, a very long break." I said

"You've earned it, you're the reason we are still alive. "

"Thanks Gustave, I appreciate that but if you weren't here I would be dead so I have to thank you."

"It's my job and it's what I'm expected to do. "

After that the rest of the ride was quiet,

30 minutes later

Emmeline Pichon, aka Twitch

The helicopter was arriving, I heard that Deluxe was hurt but alive, I was thankful for this, I watched as it came closer down, but a bullet hit the rear rotor, it spun out of control and into the platform, luckily it was holding but it doesn't get rid of the fact that 3 people were in there, I recessed towards the wreckage, the pilot got out but had an injury to his head and leg, but there was no sign of the others, I went to the main compartment, I was blocked off by debris and it wasn't budging, luckily everyone was on the scene and was desperate to get it clear, when a gun went off, Glaz had shot an enemy chopper out in the distance and explosion was heard, despite this the debris was cleared and Doc climbed out, he seemed fine but what I saw next shocked me, Blackbeard lifted Deluxe out, his body looking destroyed and Dead but somehow was still alive, his eyes barely moving, he was leaned against a wall as Doc checked him, Doc then called for a stretcher unfortunately he had to leave his patients side, I went over,

"Hey, you're going to be fine, Gustave is-"

"There won't be enough time, this place is going to be under siege. " Deluxe cut me off, his voice weak

"What do you mean this place will be under siege?" I asked softly

"They know where we are and they're coming for Revenge, "He answered" It's a last ditch attempt and it won't be long until they arrive. "

"What's he saying?" Bandit said deciding to come over

"We are going to be attacked, by air I presume, get everyone ready," I said to Bandit he ran off to tell the others "Are you sure? And how do you know this."

"If I wasn't sure then how I can see them right now. "

I looked towards where Deluxe was looking, a group of helicopters approaches us

"We need to get you to the medical bay." I offered my hand

"I can fight, no time for the medical bay either. " He said gently pushing my hand and getting to his feet

"No you can't look at you, you're cut and badly hurt."

"Don't judge a book by its cover. " I couldn't argue when he said that

I sighed and gave up, I would try but he would just refuse, I'm guessing he wants fight an honourable death but to us all he has, he's done so much.

"Just stay safe OK?"

"No guarantee"

My heart wrenched at these words, I could do nothing about this I got up and grabbed my gun and I watched as Deluxe reloaded his weapon, he wasn't acting right, something is on his mind and it's affecting his attitude but I'll crack at it after, I looked up and watched the helicopters came closer but then explosions went off beside them, damaging and eventually killing them, all crashed into each other and into the sea, any solider that remains would become shark food, I lowered my weapon and went towards Deluxe he sat down and was examining his injuries,

"What's wrong? You seem cloudy. " I asked him

"I'm still trying to get my head around the whole helicopter crash." He answered but I wasn't quite sure if he was being truthful

"No you're not, there's something else shall we go in private?"

"No, I'm fine honestly, " He said smiling" Though I'd like to be in the medical bay. "

"Fine but I'm still going to question you, I'm not believing you until you the truth." I said

He sighed and simply nodded at this demand, I grabbed his arm and pulled him up, as I held him he seemed very much in distress and evey second I looked at him it annoyed me, I hated the fact that he was lying if he had just been honest and open I would feel fine,

"You hate me right now, don't you?" he said not lifting his head from his gaze at the ground

"I hate you because you're lying. " I said softly

"It's something close alright, I can't just let it out." He said this time truthful

"You know that you can say anything to me, I'm not the type to judge. "

"I could argue with that but I prefer not to."

"Yeah I think it would benefit us both," I said "When are you going to tell me about this secret annoyance of yours? because it is affecting me now." I asked while sitting him down

"I may as well tell you now," He paused "Do you remember the first mission we went on?"

"Yes, like it was yesterday. " I answered

"Do you know why that building was so empty?" He asked

"Oui, the Whites cleared it out with gas. "

"That's what you think, it was actually cleared by an air strike performed by the Ivory Coast military which means that they are on the Whites payroll." He said

"That's horrific but may I ask why this is personal? " I asked

"My sister was in it along with what was believed to be your long lost sister, Mark found it on his analysis of the stronghold raid we did."

"I have a sister? "I asked my mind about blow

"Apparently so he even sent me a picture of her face after searching the security footage," Deluxe stuck his hand in his breast pocket revealing a small photograph and gave it to me, she looked just like me "She looks almost identical to you which in turn made me believe his founding."

"Thank you and when you can tell Mark as well." I mumbled stunned by the photo

"I told him that you would say thank you and now he owes me 20 quid," he said laughing "and owes me another tenner for your reaction."

I looked at the photo, feeling the emotion off of it and when I finally came back to reality Deluxe was already treated and had bandages over his torso, arms and legs,

"Earth to Emma." Deluxe said waving his hand in front of me

"Wha- how long was I staring at the photo for? " I asked confused

"20 minutes, I'm sorry for giving this to you on a terrible time but it was the only way."

I kissed him for understanding the feeling and what I was going through, at first he was caught off guard but then kissed me back, soon we broke apart I felt something staring at me and so did Deluxe as he too was looking around

"We are being watched by Meghan aren't we?" He asked

"Yes, it's not a coincidence that I feel a sharp ray of heat hitting my rear end. " I answered

"It could be Blackburn then."

"Or it could be both, you know what Meghan can be like."

"True," Deluxe said "Why does she have to be a perv?"

"I am not a perv. " Valkyrie said poking her head around a second later

"I know I just wanted to see where you were." He said laughing

She scoffed and walked off, I turned to notice Deluxe having a mischievous smile on his face,

"What plan do you have in mind? " I asked

"Do you think you can fit this up your ass?"

He said referring to the black eye,

"WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?!" I shouted I shock

"I'm kidding, chill. " He said laughing

"Oh, you had me worried but are going to do what I think you going to do?"

"Yep. " he said taking the black eye off the wall" Got you Drone? "

I nodded and putting my Shock Drone down, Deluxe put the Black eye on it and told me to take it to Valkyrie's room, I drove upstairs and a couple rooms across to the destination, luckily the door was open enough for my Drone to push through, as it entered I got a good view of Valkyrie on her cameras stalking everyone, her legs crossed and in a sat up position against her wall, I saw her face change expression when she saw her cam, slowly her head rose to see my Drone with it, I shocked her and rushed away, she squealed and chased the drone, Deluxe and I were laughing as we saw her chase a tiny little drone finally I was back to me and Deluxe was by the doorway, Valkyrie rushed in and was tripped up by the foot of Deluxe, she slid across the floor like it was ice I collapsed onto the ground laughing, I never laughed so much, I saw her get up and start hitting me on the bicep I was laughing so much it didn't hurt, in fact it made me laugh harder then Deluxe pulled her away still laughing,

"Alright... Alright that's enough. " he said wiping a tear away

"I COULD'VE BEEN DOING SOMETHING YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO SEE!!" She shouted

"That would've made it funnier. " I said gaining my breath" And your facial expressions were priceless. "

"Whatever, I'll get you back for this you know." Valkyrie said with an evil grin

"Yeah yeah, what are you gonna do watch us have sex, well that is bad but knowing you, you'll probably pleasure yourself. " Deluxe said

"That's probably the best thing I've done." Valkyrie said out of the blue

"Wait, you've already watched us? " I said looking at her

"Oh ummm no." She said realising her mistake and turning red

"You have, I would like to know our rating?" Deluxe said curious

"Deluxe! " I said

"What? She's already saw it."

"9/10, pretty good. "

"I feel... stupid." I said in digust

"No need to feel stupid, at least we have something against her. " he said trying to reassure me

"Shit, I didn't think of that." She said again realising her mistake "I'm getting out of here later." Soon she was gone

"How are feeling now? Any happier? " Deluxe asked me

"A lot happier, want to go somewhere?" I asked

"Like where? We're in the middle of the world practically and we can't use the helicopter as it would be pretty suspicious." He answered

"That is very true but I would love to eat with you, get to know each other better." I sighed

"Well here is one thing I guarantee you don't know about me , I'm a very good cook according to my mother when she was alive. " He said joyful at first

"Don't worry about her too much, I bet she's proud of you and please if you can surprise me with something 'special'." I said trying to help him

"Special huh? Right ma' am but may I ask where is the kitchen? "

"Command building, I believe Elias is the only person that can somewhat cook, the chefs prep the food over sea and its sent over here by boat or helicopter." I said

"No wonder the food tastes like shit then, well aren't you gonna have a surprise what do you like your meat like?" He asked impressing me

"Medium if you don't mind. "

"Right away ma'am."

He turned and headed off, I felt my heart flutter and almost bust with love and it seems this means very much to him.

45 minutes later

I sat on my bed listen to music and reading a book, when I heard a knock at the door,

"Come in. " I say

"Come in? I need help to open the door." I hear a voice reply

"Oh," I got up and opened the door smelling a nice smell of food, I couldn't quite tell what it was, my question was soon answered when I saw lobsters with a salad on plates come through the door, I looked at it speechlessly it looked and smelled amazing,

"Where do you want me to set this? On the bed? " Deluxe asked

"Yes, apologies for the door thing." I apologised

"It's fine, hold on I made something else. " He got up and got 2 more plates showing chocolate cake and croissant again the draft blew the scent towards me giving me another rush of good food.

"I'll set this on the table," He said resting the plates on my desk "What do you think?"

I rushed him with a bear hug, shocked he hesitated and hugged me back

"It's the best thing someone's ever done for me. "

"It's my pleasure," he said with beaming a smile "Now can we eat?"

We sat on each side of the bed facing each other, the lobster had been taken apart with precision and with care, I took a bit and put into my mouth it melted within it all the flavours bursting our like a balloon, I noticed the coleslaw had also kicked in with its flavours mixing and soon I was finished, Deluxe was taking his test but even still he had finished not very long after me,

"Wow I'm blown away, your mother must've been a master chef. "

"Yeah, this is her dish with my own twist, she didn't have any coleslaw but instead potatoes, I don't really think it fits the theme so I took it upon myself to think of something else," He finished explaining "She taught me to make food with compassion and care not just to eat, I took this to mind and still to this day I think about it, I just hate she passed away and all of her skills were passed onto me and I'm the one to continue her legacy since my sister was wiped off of this cruel planet. "his emotions expressed with every word

"If this war ends and we're both alive and together, our children will continue that legacy, son or daughter you teach them everything that you know." I said getting closer to him

"I'll do whatever I can to keep us alive, you mostly and I can bet we'll still be together."

"I doubt you'll be together, your body's being held together by bandages. "

"Don't believe that."

"It is difficult not to."

"Yeah yeah, whatever." He said shaking his head "So do you have any secret talents?"

"Sadly no, but I'm good-" I was cut off by running and a knock to the door I opened to see Fuze at the door

"Get your shit together we've got a nuclear threat in the UK comrades!" He shouted

I looked back at Deluxe he threw me my gun but I saw worry in his face, does he know something?

"I'm going to get my guns. " He said

"What do you know?" I said blocking him

"They're nuking my home country." He said pushing past

I strapped on my armor and rushed off towards the helicopters, there was 5 of them I'm hoping we will make it.

45 minutes later

Objective: Find and Disarm the Nuke at all costs

Unknown Unknown, aka Deluxe

"10 SECONDS!! " a marine shouted

"GO! GO! GO! DIVE!"

I ran out and flew through the air, I was using a special suit I've been working on for 3 years, I didn't need any parachutes I could take it, I saw the ground I flipped so my feet would face the ground, I hit the ground hard but I was fine,

"Heavy damage dealt to the shocks. " The A.I said

I walked ran forward the suit did slow me down but only by just, I activated my Rhino 2 this time it was a fully functional shield,

"Stay behind me!" I shouted at the Marines

They stacked behind me as gun fire came alive, all of it was aimed towards my shield,

"Phoenix 4 requesting an air strike on coordinates 304,290. "

"Negative Guardian 9, all airstrikes have been banned until the nuclear threat has been dealt with, Featherstone 7 is going to provide a gun run, eta 10 seconds."

"Roger. " I said

An AH-6 Littlebird came flying over the building with the miniguns spooled, it lit up the enemy, I could hear the bones and flesh being tore apart.

"Guardian 9 you're all clear." The pilot told me

"Alright let's push up!" I shouted the Marines ran in front and I followed shortly behind

"Where's your team?" a lieutenant asked me

"Arriving shortly, hopefully within 5 minutes. " I said to him" Command, we're pushing into nuclear complex eta on Wolfgang 3-2?"

"Roger Guardian 9, Wolfgang will be present eta 5 minutes be advised you will have to disarm the bomb on site. "

"Solid copy, alright let's move!" I kicked the door, it crumbled from the kick I pushed in with my MG4 in hand and cleared the room, we had to clear 4 more rooms

We advanced to the door in front it was a heavy metal 6 inch thick door, I put a breaching charge on the wall, squeezing the trigger the marines pushed in before me, one got shot in the head and rolled to the ground I again cleared the room but no break was given as the entrance to the next room blew open, three bombers rushed us, I stood ground and killed them, as I went through I noticed the next room was also open and clear, so instinctively I threw a flashbang and nothing happened, I saw the case the Nuke was in I opened it to see that it was there, I sighed in relief,

"Get this shit disarmed." I said to the bomb squad we escorted, "Command Football is currently being disarmed."

"Nice job Guardian but your work is not, lightning 6 is waiting for you in the courtyard." Command told me

"Copy your final, what's the task?" I asked walking up through the ruins of the building

"Hostage Rescue, we believe that it's your sibling and a relative of Emmeline pichon." Command said

"Roger, what resources are available?" I asked

"Negative, this is a covert mission, weapons are available before heading on your mission in Russia."

"Soild copy, nice to see you're my partner if it wasn't you, it's Cav." I said walking up to Twitch

"Hmmm your girlfriend or a psychotic anti-social person, I would take the psychotic anti-social person." She said

"I wouldn't, especially if its our sisters." I said

"They're supposed to be dead, how could they be alive." she said surprised

"Either way, we need to go, I don't think they have much time." I said picking up the Skorpion presented to me

60 minutes later

20 minutes after the present

This world we live in...its a shit show, everyone is against each other for no apparent reason, but the worst thing about it is that we lose the most valuable things in our lives to this... disease we know as war, look at the past and how it war has stopped development, affected personality, changed people, no one realises that we are killing ourselves but it makes sense as to why, everyone has a opinion, it cannot be punished or prosecuted on, it's the most powerful thing in the universe it can change people, villages, towns, countries and even worlds and it runs free with no restrictions, despite this I couldn't give a fuck about it, this shit show took the best thing from me, I won't be able to get him back not matter how hard I try, all I can do is fight.
