Helldiver
Chapter 5
Operation Avalanche
Part 1
It begins
Naruto stood in the command centre in front of this officers. Red team looked on proudly at the A.D.S.T. Squad leaders. They were the best of the best. The pride of Uzushio. Each one rivalled Naruto, hell each one rivalled a Spartan.
As fate had dictated just as there had been a Noble Team 800 years before not that any of them knew this fact, Now there was another.
Sever Jenkins. A born leader, He was the squad leader of Black Devil Team. He made the devils into more than a collection of Helldivers.
Daisy Angelica. As said by Red team, She is the next coming of Spartan-058 Linda. She is the best sniper ever trained by the Uzushio Defence force. Squad leader of Death Reaper Team, she has been given the title, Sudden Death. Her marksmanship will be needed in the coming operation.
Specter Valkerias. Is he bold enough, no doubt. He is as deadly as he is efficient, He has made entire armies disappear, given that they were only bandit armies and slavers, he is still a force to be reckoned with. He is the squad leader of Noble Team. Known for being a fierce hunter, he is normal off mission but is a clear and uncomplicated soldier on mission.
Cal, This girl, despite popular belief given her gentle nature is a heavy weapons specialist. Chain Guns, rocket launchers, flame throwers, She often favours the newly released N-Strike EBF-25 Vulcan Heavy Machine Gun. She will need all of her strength to lead her Heavy Weapons team to victory in this operation. She leads Havoc Team.
Aqune Uzumaki, Spec Ops. Favours the N-Strike CS6-Recon Adaptive Marksman Rifle. She is usually wearing black A.D.S.T./O.D.S.T. Armour with violet highlights in areas. She had taken a liking to flash bangs, smoke grenades and her personal chakra blast grenades. Unlike other Helldivers whom wear helmets, she wears a half mask covering the lower portion of her face and has a set of multi-purpose goggles along with a com set. In this mission, for sake of protection from the cold, she'll be wearing a full faced ski mask. She leads Ghost Team.
These fives Elites, the alphas among the Helldivers would each lead a team of 6 troops. They would liberate Yuki no Kuni while a Pave low Helicopter would bring in the princess, guarded by Red another st of A.D., whom after spending some time in Uzushio had realized how much her people needed her and why she should fight for them or at least go to them, lead them and let the fighting be to the special forces.
"Alright Jumpers, from this on, your Platoon will be designated Task Force Epsilon. Next, on to the mission, as you know Doto has been growing increasing tyrannical towards his country. Yesterday, an emissary escorting Prince Yuki, the true heiress to Yuki no Kuni came asking us to help liberate the country. Now the people know the princess in coming because the resistance has been growing bolder, big time. This is where you come in. We had the strategy to annihilate their military at first, but this course of action was shot down by Red Team. It would leave Yuki unable to defend themselves from invasion. As a result, our forces are mobilizing for invasion to help Yuki take the throne. She will give the order for Yuki's forces to stand down with us to back her up. We need you to get in, find Doto and assassinate him, but the first part of this mission will be to secure a landing zone for the fire teams." Naruto instructed.
"Once you've cleared the ports, you will then move towards the mines in the southern part of Yuki and liberate the slaves there. They are using children as mules so check your aim." Naruto said.
"Sir, Yuki is known for advanced technology, not by our standards but they are the equivalent of world war II, will we face an air force or navy?" Specter asked.
"Air force, no. Navy yes, but we will deal with the Navy through use of our longsword fighters when the invasion begins." Naruto replied.
"Mission window to take the beach?" Daisy asked.
"You have two hours after drop, our drop ships will launch after that and it's only a two hour flight there." Naruto answered.
"I presume the drop will happen under dark sir?" Specter asked.
"Affirmative. Remember, speed is of the essence here. Doto will rally and army and target the civilians if he can, let's not give him the chance." Naruto answered.
"Wouldn't be easy if it was an Epsilon mission." Specter replied.
"Agreed, once you've freed the slaves, radio the beach command and dropships will come for the children." Naruto said.
"Acknowledged." The Epsilon leaders said.
"Good luck and Kami speed, dismissed." Naruto said.
The Epsilons nodded and each walked out.
"Sir?" Specter asked as he hadn't let yet.
"Yes commander?" Naruto asked.
"You seem nervous is something the matter?" Specter asked.
"Konoha is pushing for us to ally with them despite our mistrust of them, they are claiming that since I am a Namikaze, we are to serve Konoha because we belong to the fourth." Naruto growled.
"They're going to get them selves killed with that attitude, no wonder everyone hates them right now." Specter said as he turned and exited the room.
"Let's hope it stays at hate and doesn't turn into war." Naruto thought.
Hercules Transport plane, skies above Yuki no Kuni
Time: 22:00 hours
"Alright, we all have our orders, this is our first major deployment so let's make the Supreme Commander proud and kick some ass." Specter ordered.
"Hoo-Ah!" The A.D.S.T.s replied.
"We got slaves and tyranny on the ground down there and it's time to show Doto that we don't tolerate that shit. It's time to give Doto what's coming to him. Once the ports are cleared, Cal and Havoc team will remain there with Reaper team and hold the fort, the rest of us will see the slaves are secured, then we'll bring them back to the ports for sanctuary. We'll kill Doto and place Princess Yuki on the throne." Specter said.
"Now is the time we show the world what Helldivers are made of. We are gonna go down there and face the enemy, we are gonna rip their skulls from their spines and toss em away laughing!" Specter said.
"Do you get me?" Specter asked.
"WE GET YOU SIR!" The A.D.S.T.s yelled in reply.
With that, Specter opened the hatch and one by one the A.D.S.T.s jumped out of the plane, they all dived headfirst into hell.
One the ground below, guards patrolled the docks while the Helldivers silently impacted with a nearby mountain, the darkness hiding the green smoked rising from the gel bubbles that the A.D.S.T.s landed in.
"All Squad leaders report it." Specter ordered.
"Sever of Devil Team here, ready to rock an roll." Sever Acknowledged.
"Cal of Havoc Team, ready to to tear up the hostiles." Cal confirmed calmly.
"Daisy of Reaper Team here, give me a target and he will die." Daisy replied confidently.
"Aqune of Ghost Team, Somebody call an exterminator?" Aqune asked.
"Alright, let's go teach these bastards a lesson, go in quick and silent, if we find any means for them to communicate with their commanders, eliminate it, we don't need an alert going out." Specter orders as he and Noble Team started down the mountain.
"Hoo-Ah" The A.D.S.T.s confirmed, following Noble's course of action.
1:30:59 remaining until invasion
Specter and Noble entered the radio tower and ambushed them, killing the group of soldiers with their combat knives.
Havoc Team waited on stand by for the confirm of communications being down.
Ghost Team sabotaged the alarm system.
Reaper Team used their silenced Recon Rifles to snipe the guards.
Devil team planted charges on the ships.
"Havoc Team, Communications and the alarm are down, you're free to enter the fight." Specter said over the comm link.
"Acknowledged, you heard him boys, lock and load." Cal ordered the Havocs.
59:00 until invasion
Cal and her Havoc Team cast aside stealth and charged onto the docks with their EBF-25 Vulcans and M247H Heavy Machine guns blazing at any and all Hostiles.
The remaining guards scrambled to fight back the A.D.S.T.s while some ran to the radio tower only to find the communications equipment smashed, others tried the alarm only for it not to activate. As they believed it couldn't get any worse, one by one, each of the ships exploded, the charges having detonated.
With that, the few surviving guards surrendered.
"Helldivers, form up on once you've rounded up the P.O.W.s and lock them in the bunker near the Radio tower. Reaper Team, set up snipers in any tower of vantage point you can find." Specter said as he looked up.
The sounds was obvious. Pelican Drop ships and Pave Low Helicopters, bringing in the main force. And Long swords returning to base, probobly pissed off that they didn't get their job.
"This is Noble 1, the port is secured, landing zone is clear." Specter said.
"Affirmative Noble 1, Longswords are a bit upset that you took their job from them." Naruto said over the comm.
"You know us sir, best of the best." Specter said smugly.
"Hoo-Rah!" The Elites all cheered.
"Cal regardless of the main force being here, it's not a good idea to take heavy weapons into those mines, remain behind here until all is said and done, when the time comes to hit the palace, you'll lead the charge." Specter commanded.
"Understood sir." Cal said disappointed while understanding the logic, Heavy Machine guns and rocket launchers don't work well with hostage rescue.
Specter looked towards the palace as the ships landed, unloading the troops.
"You days are numbers tyrant." Specter though as he glared at the palace.
Okay sorry that took so long, my original idea was to wipe out Noble team with Specter being found and helped by some civilians, civilians who's family has an armour that in 200 years, no one has been able to use since it's first user. (you have to know who's armour this is.)
Though given how I flunked the first attempt on this chapter so bad, I second guessed that bit and consider cutting it out, I'll leave this one piece for you to decide, does Uzu get the armour or does it stay out of the story.
