The wait is over! Chapter 4 is here with 5 and 6 to come in the following days! Thanks for the reviews! ( Corporal 'Spider' Hawthorne, I hope this chapter is your idea of Serious Action, because I think it's pretty Actionous!) also I added some more detail and changed some things as recommended by Doom Marine 54 in some past chapters if you want to check that out. I hope you like this chapter!
Sgt. Boston
March 21st
Sinjar Mountains, Iraq
I pulled a switch turning off all the power in the facility and Cmd. Kneel scanned a map. I walked over to the window and waved up to the rest of the team signaling that they were clear to come down. While they whizzed down their harnesses I walked over to Cmd. Kneel and asked him what the rest of the plan was.
"We have to go down a floor and through this hallway" Said Cmd. Kneel while pointing to a hallway on the map "These two rooms should be occupied so there will be resistance in the hallway. Remember, we set off the alarm, the whole facility knows we are here."
"We should hurry then, shouldn't we?" I said.
"Yes, let's go." Said Cmd. Kneel. I opened the door to the stairwell and started my way down carefully watching for enemies, the rest of the team following. When I got to the 1st floor I carefully looked out with my gun pointing out. There was no one there…
"All clear…" I said suspiciously. I hurried down the hallway and to the side of a room.
"Howard, you're with Boston" said Cmd. Kneel. "Brooks, you're with me, and Punter, watch our backs."
I got out my M9 and got in front of the door. When Howard tapped my shoulder I kicked open the door revealing 2 or 3 guards and 3 medics that were in the middle of arming themselves. I aimed my M9 at a guard who had turned to see me and shot once causing him to fly back and drop his gun. I then turned to a man next to him and shot again. He flew backwards and fell to the floor. Two others turned to run and I shot them in the backs. The last fell due to Sgt. Howard.
We turned back to see Cmd. Kneel and his room of dead enemies and awaited more orders.
"That should do it. No one should be Mining at the moment." He said. "Let's radio the base and get back to the snowmobiles." We got outside on the rimming and headed to a communication area. We rounded a corner and I saw a radio in the window of an unoccupied overlook post.
"There!" I shouted.
"Let's move, there's probably an entrance on the other side" said Cmd. Kneel. He ran ahead and I followed until we were about halfway there. Suddenly my head screamed with pain and I saw red splotches in many different spots. I stopped and held my head tight, hoping it would help. "Cap!" I yelled to make him stop and turn around. "Gah, my head… Agh! It hurts so much!" all of the sudden the ground that Cmd. Kneel was standing next to exploded and he flew over the edge headed for a thousand foot drop. The pain in my head somehow guided me, making me get up, grab the railing, and jump after him. I grabbed Cmd. Kneel by the arm and I swung back sliding safely back with the rest of the team.
I looked up to see what caused the explosion. "Enemy Bird! Take cover!" I screamed at the team. I put the injured Commander around my shoulder and started running towards the overlook area. The turret operator on the Helicopter opened fire at me. I flung myself out of the path of the glowing bullets and crashed into the window. The glass shattered around me and the commander before hitting the floor like broken ice. I rolled under a steel desk put the commander down and enjoyed a moment of safety.
Very quickly I got back to my feet and shot almost completely random bullets at the turret mounted upon the swerving chopper then ran to a door at the other side of the room. I swung the door in front of me as bullets from the wounded turret operator began flying out of control and I felt a large THUNK as a bullet hit the door. I ran around to the front of the door and shot at the driver cabin of the helicopter then grabbed the doorknob and jumped into the next room. The door slammed behind me and I rolled on the ground and lie still. The chatter of gunfire had stopped and I heard the helicopter explode many feet down. I peeked out of a broken window and looked around for my teammates.
"Howard?" I said loudly "Brooks? Punter! Where are you guys?" I went back into the room with the commander and started to climb out the window. "Wait here Sir, I'll be right back." I ran back into the building. The three other teammates were there. Sgt. Brooks had blood all over his arm. "Brooks! Guys are you alright?" I asked frantically. "I'm fine… but brooks isn't." said Sgt. Howard. I jogged over to Sgt. Brooks and took out a medical kit.
"Howard, the captain is in the lookout room, can you go get him? Radio the base too." I said. He looked at me and nodded his head "Alright." I rolled up Brook's sleeve and took a look at the wound. I wiped up all of the blood with a small towel and dabbed some medicine on the wound. I wrapped it up and helped him up. "Let's go brooks. You too punter, we're leaving." I said.
We walked out to the overlook and found Sgt. Howard with the Commander radioing the base. "They can get here in twenty minutes." He reported. "Gah, that's not fast enough. We don't know what's wrong with the commander." I said. I walked over to him "Are you gonna live cap?" I asked. "Yeah, I'll be fine now. Thanks." I smiled. "Alright" I said. "We wait here until that transport comes." I opened the door to the next room and walked in. "What was that headache about..?" I said to myself. It was a mysterious factor. Very Mysterious.
Well, there you are :D! Although it was somewhat short it was the second encounter of the Mysterious Force that I mentioned in chapter 2. I'm sure you know what it is by now .. Whatcha think about Boston? Very good at saving peoples' lives eh? Chapter 5 will be out tomorow, and it will be slowed down a bit.
