A.N: Hi guys another chapter. Anyhow my recommendation this time is the HTTYD story 'Two Nights With Love Full of Fury' this story was written by 'Purple Feline' they are also one of the authors who let me use two of their characters. The characters that they let me use are the characters 'Galaxy' and 'Star'. Their stories are both explained in the story. However, I have not used star in my story, but she is in it hidden in plain sight. I may also do a collaboration with 'Ze Great Camicazi' and 'Purple Feline' to do a side story that would lead up to this story.
Now for the summary for this Chapter:
With Alana wounded and Jeremy and Jason's fireteams pinned down it is up to Blair and the rest of his friends to save the day. Will our hero make new allies and save his family from certain doom?
Last time on the Dragon Born:
Jeremy's Point of View…
Next thing I hear Is Alana scream and Ryan yelling, "Man down."
I turn to look, and I see that Alana had taken a bullet through her right thigh. I then say to Ryan, "Comet bring out the Riot shield and deal with those guys," I gesture to the guys that out flanked us.
"Consider it done Wolffe," he replied with as he put his M16 on his back and grabbed his riot shield.
I then asked Alana, "Jyn can you still fight?"
"I can't walk, but I can still shoot," she replied.
"Then this is how it will work. I will get, you to cover and you cover me," I say.
"Then why are we still here?" Alana asked.
I grinned at that comment and grabbed her under her arms and started dragging her back to the ridgeline. Next thing I know is that Jason is in front of me covering Alana and me with his riot shield. He looks back at me and nods and I nod back.
When we finally got to the ridgeline the enemy were right on top of us and had us pinned down.
So, I hoped on the radio and called out to Blair and said, "Gregor. We are pinned down we have Slick with us, but we have a problem. Jyn took a bullet to the leg and can't walk we need immediate support over."
"Copy that Wolffe. Reinforcements are on route," was the reply that Blair had given me.
I then said to everyone else, "We must defend this position at all costs,"
"10/4," they replied with.
I then heard Jason say, "Alright Die Hard let's do this. Oorah."
"Oorah," the rest of Die Hard replied.
I then thought, 'This is going to be a long war,' I then proceeded to wrap a bandage around the bullet wound in Alana's leg.
10km away… Blair's Point of View…
My fireteam and I had just gotten to Supply Cashe Charlie only 3 mikes before Jeremy started screaming over the radio that his and Jason's fireteams were pinned down, so I coolly replied that we would be on our way shortly to assist.
"Alright you all heard Jeremy so here is the plan Will I need you and Willow to take Zayne to Supply Cashe Oscar Mike and defend it as we may need the vehicles if we need to make a quick getaway," I said.
"Copy that," Will said as he and Willow helped carry Zayne to Oscar Mike.
"Zayne before you go I suggest letting Foxy come with you," I suggested to Zayne.
"Good idea," Zayne replied as he started limping towards a large cage with a male red fox in it the red fox was red-orange with a white chest. He let it out and put on its light-weight bullet-proof vest and he gave it a hand signal which meant for it to follow him. They then left to go to Supply Cashe Oscar Mike.
I then walked towards one of the other large cages which had a black short-haired male German Shepherd Labrador Cross in it, I then started speaking to and I said, "Alright Maverick it is time to get to work," I say as I let him out of his cage and grab his custom bullet-proof vest and put it on him.
I then move to the bird cage that is right next to Maverick cage and let out the pitch-black Australian Raven that was in it and let it perch itself on my arm and I said, "Reaper. Zac needs our help. I need you to find them and give them this message," I attached a small metal tube to his leg which had a message in it. I then finished what I was saying, "Now go Reaper find Zac, and safe travels my friend."
"David, I suggest in taking Fang with us, she may prove useful in the battle to come," I suggest to David.
"Fair enough," he replied as he walked to the last large cage with an animal in it. The animal in it was a female grey wolf with a white chest and a grey-black back. "Come on Fang it is time to get to work," He said as he let the grey wolf out of its cage and grabbed its light-weight bullet-proof vest and put it on her.
"Now that everyone is ready let's go," I said to everyone.
I then lead the way with Maverick at my side and everyone followed me.
As I was walking I thought, 'This is going to be a long day.'
Main characters involved in this chapter:
Fireteam Ghostrider

Jeremy's Point of View…
'Come on Blair where are you,' I thought.
I get knocked back into reality when I hear Alana moan in pain beside me. I looked at the bandage that I had rapped around her leg I knew it was the best I could do since I wasn't a medic. 'She will just have to hold out till Blair gets here with Dimitri,' I thought.
I then hear Zac saying, "Look it is Reaper." 'Reaper that is his companion an Australian Raven,' I thought, 'then that means that when Blair and David get here they will have Maverick and Fang with them.' That gave me a boost of morale. Zac then said that there was a message attached to Reapers leg and started reading it, "Sorry for the delay we will be there in 5 minutes just hold out a little bit longer."
Jordan then said, "Hate to be unoptimistic but I don't think we will last that long. Look," he then pointed to 3 T-90s that were slowly making their way towards the ridge.
"We're fucked," I heard Ryan say.
"It is not over yet," Jason started, "Gregor says that he will be here in 5 mikes then he will be here in 5 mikes. We just have to make sure that we are still here when they arrive."
Despite his confident tone in his voice I could tell that there was a lot of doubt in his voice.
So, we kept fighting holding off wave after wave of enemies, but the tanks kept coming. When they got within 250m of our position I realised, "Wait a minute those are Armatas how did they get their hands on those."
I then hopped on the radio and said, "Gregor where are you we have 3 Armatas attacking us."
Blair replied with, "Armatas are you sure?"
"Positive," I replied.
"How the fuck did they get their hands on those?" Blair asked.
"Don't know get here now," I screamed.
"We are 1 mike out hold out 1 more mike," he replied.
I then got off the radio and said to everyone else, "1 mike. Gregor is 1 mike out."
"Confirmed," everyone said at their own pace.
Blair's Point of View…
The sound of gunfire was deafening it was so loud that we had to communicate by using hand signals. I told Douglas, Harmony and Erica; Fireteam Osiris; to flank to the left. I told Francis and Liam; Fireteam Assassin; to take Dimitri to see what they can do for the others and finally I told Liz and David to follow me. I also told David to have our companions come with us.
Once everyone was in position, David, Liz and I moved to take out the tanks. We got behind the tanks without anyone noticing us. I passed David and Liz a C4 charge each and we all placed them on one of the tanks. Once that was done I hooked them up to my remote detonator and we moved to a safe distance.
I then hit the button on the detonator and watched the tanks explode. Almost a split second after the tanks exploded, two blurs came out of the tree line one black, the other grey and white. It was Fang and Maverick. They sprinted out of the tree line at max speed and leapt up and bit the two closest enemy soldier's necks and snapped them. They died instantly. Then 'Osiris' and 'Ghostrider' came running from the tree line, we took down at least 10 people and wounded a further 7 before the enemy called a retreat.
David and I then whistled to tell Fang and Maverick to return to our side. When they returned to us we gave them a pat and we then started walking to Jeremy I asked, "Is everyone ok?"
Jeremy replied with, "We are fine but, Jyn can't walk as she has been shot in her right thigh."
I then asked, "Kicks what is your verdict?"
Dimitri replied with, "She lost a bit of blood, but she will live. However, the bullet went through her hamstring. She will live but she may have trouble walking."
"What?" Jeremy said clearly shocked.
"Wolffe it is better than crippled for life, or worse yet dead," I say to Jeremy sternly.
"You're right. You're right," he said clearly still not happy about it.
I then addressed everyone, "Alright everyone they won't be gone for long so let's move. Wolffe stay with Jyn she need you now more than ever. Ja Ja you also stay with Wolffe and Jyn."
"10/4," Ryan said.
After I had gotten everyone into an order I told Dimitri to stay with Jeremy and Alana. Meanwhile David, Liz and myself covered our six. When we heard armoured vehicles approaching from our right when we turned to face them we pointed our guns at them and they pointed their guns at us.
In order to break the tension, I said, "Blue."
The leader replied with, "Blue."
I then asked, "Who the hell are you guys?"
"I was going to ask you the same question. That and what the hell happened here?" Asked the leader.
I replied with, "We are just civvies who know how to use guns sir. And as for what happened here we have been invaded by the ADFF."
"Bullshit. Those look like Russian Armatas," the captain said.
"I know I don't know how they got them either, but I have proof," I say as I hand him a copy of the video.
"Also, could you please get in contact with Amberly?" I ask.
"Why do you want to contact Amberly?" Asked the captain.
"One, they are the closest military base, and two if we come across more of those tanks I want to be able to call on air support," I stated.
"Fair enough," the captain started, "Lieutenant hand me the radio."
I then spoke again, "When you get through ask for Sergeant Winkler."
"Why?" Asked the captain.
"Cause, I might be able to convince him," I replied.
"How?" The captain asked again.
"Does it matter just get him on the radio and I will handle the rest," I stated.
I heard him mumble 'who put you in charge,' under his breathe.
Then when he got the radio he tuned it to the frequency that Amberly would be on and said, "This is BCT4 trying to get through to Amberly is anyone reading."
The radio was silent for 4 seconds before there was a reply, "This is Corporal Taylor, we read you BCT4 what is up?"
The captain then said, "I have some civvies who would like a word with Sergeant Winkler."
"Now isn't a good time as we are under attack by an unknown force," said the corporal who was clearly panicked.
"Corporal just give me the frequency he is on and I will take to him directly," said the captain.
"10/4," said the corporal, "he is on frequency 4.9."
"Thank you corporal," the captain said before he changed the frequency to 4.9.
He then spoke into the radio again and said, "Sergeant Winkler are you on this frequency?"
A voice then replied, "He might be. Whose asking?"
"Captain Walker of BCT4," replied Captain Walker.
"Ok I am Winkler so what do you want," Winkler asked.
"I have 16 armed civvies here with me and the head of their group would like a word with you," answered Walker.
"Put them on," replied Winkler.
Walker then handed me the radio and I said, "Greetings Sergeant, I can't say my real name over comms, but you may refer to me as 'Gregor'."
"Ok, Gregor what do you want?" Asked Winkler.
"All I want is air cover for me and my group of rebels," I asked.
"And I should give it to you why?" He asked.
"Because if you can help me then I can help you," I replied.
"Well we can't get any aircraft airborne as we are under attack. However, if you can get to Amberly and help us defend the base then I might be able to get you support," Winkler said.
"It will take us a while to get there from Lowood," I said.
"Lowood," Winkler said, "can you please check if my family made it out?"
"Trust me sir. Your two sons are fine they are in hiding but I don't know about your wife or your daughter," I replied.
"How do you know that?" He asked.
"Classified," I replied.
"Fair enough. We all have secrets," he replied.
"I would say that I would be there in 1 hour but BCT4 could be there faster," I suggested.
Captain Walker nodded his head and started telling his men to ready up, I then finished, "I will hopefully be there with your wife and daughter, Gregor out."
"Copy that," he replied, "Winkler over and out."
With that I handed the radio back to the captain and asked, "I have wounded could you please take them to Amberly."
"Ok," he answered.
I then hopped on my own radio and said, "Comet, Jyn, Wolffe. I found you guys a ride to Amberly."
"10/4," Jeremy replied, "we will wait for you where we are."
I then started walking in the direction of Supply Cashe Oscar Mike with Liz, David and BCT4 in tow. After 1km of hiking we found them leaning against a tree. They then loaded up into the bushmasters. I then said, "Wolffe we will see you there." He replied by nodded as they closed the back ramp into the bushmaster.
Captain Walker then said before the bushmasters left, "See you on the other side Gregor." I just nodded as they drove off.
10 minutes later… (Blair's P.O.V.)
We had finally caught up with everyone else when we go to Supply Cashe Oscar Mike. Supply Cashe Oscar Mike was where we kept all of our vehicles such as our quadskis, our three jeeps, and our makeshift apc. I then said, "Everyone mount up, we are heading to Amberly, but we need to make a quick stop in Fernvale first."
"Why is that?" Asked Frances.
"To see if my mum and sister made it out," I replied.
No one questioned it we then mounted up into the vehicles and started driving towards Fernvale.
Liz, David, Dimitri and I were on point on four of the quadskis when we reached the outskirts of Fernvale we stopped and dismounted from our vehicles. I then said," Assassins, I need you here to defend the vehicles. Got it?"
"Affirmative," Frances replied.
"Everyone else follow me." I continued.
Everyone else gave me a nod and followed me down several side streets till we found the house that I was looking for we then hid behind some nearby shrubbery and we formulated a plan.
"Kicks, Willow I want your Quadrotors here and here," I say as I point out two spots of the floor plan of the house I sketched into the dirt. "I want eyes in that house."
They then deployed their drones and moved them into position and we got a glimpse into what was happening in the house. What they saw were 20 armed hostiles spread out all through out the house and in the master bathroom they found two people bound and gagged.
"That is them," I said.
I then gestured to Dimitri and Willow to get the drones out of sight and then we then turned back to the map. I drew 20 crosses in the sketch to represent where the enemies would be and 2 circles to represent where my mum and sister were. I then said, "Senator, I want you in a sniper position across the street. Cody, I want you to watch her back if any thing happens you must take her back to Ahsoka and wait at grid point 3, 8." They nodded and left to get to the sniper position. I then continued to talk, "Osiris I want you coming in from the back door. Die Hard the laundry door. Ghostriders will be coming in from the front door."
Bailey then asked me, "Gregor, what about me?"
"You will be joining Die Hard for this breach," I answered.
"Fair enough," he replied.
"Everyone get to your positions," I whispered to everyone over the radio.
Everyone had started walking towards their designated positions when Blair heard his radio crackle. Then a voice spoke, "Blair I know you are on this frequency."
I remained silent as David and Dimitri looked at me trying to guess how I was going to reply. The voice then spoke again, "If you won't speak for me then maybe you will speak for your mum," I then heard crying which I could tell was my mother.
I had had enough so I said, "Blair isn't available right now but if you want you can talk to me."
The man who was on the radio before then answered, "Who the bloody hell is this?"
"The name is Gregor and you will either let Blair's mum and sister go or else," I replied.
"Or else what?" Replied the voice.
"You will see," I replied as I turned off of that frequency.
I then pulled my balaclava which was black with a ghost face on it so that only my eyes were visible. Dimitri and David were already in position by the time I finally got into position. I then heard 2 beeps in my earpiece which meant that Osiris and Die Hard were in position. I then gave Dimitri a hand signal and he operated his drone moving it toward the window in the master bathroom. Once Dimitri's Drone was in position I then quietly opened the fly screen door and locked it in place. I then placed a C4 breaching charge on the wooden door and pressed a button on my radio that made a beep. I then heard two more beeps and I heard Jason's voice say, "Hostile down in section One Lima."
I then thought, 'great that means we now only have to deal with 19 hostiles.'
I then whispered to Dimitri, "We will breach on your go Kicks."
He gave me a nod and said, "3… 2… 1… Go." He then pulled the trigger and his drone shot the person standing next to my mum and sister."
I then hit the detonator for my breaching charge. *BOOM* I then rushed in through the front door and shot the person who was standing beside the door. I then hear a window smash right next to me and the two other enemies that were in the room were dead. I then said, "Good job Hevy." I then moved to beside the door that lead to the master bedroom and I said into my radio, "Front room clear."
I then heard Erica say, "Gregor the kitchen, dining room and kids lounge room are clear."
I replied with, "Confirmed. Slick what is your status?"
"The second bathroom and the hall way are clear. The remaining enemies on this side are holed up in the two bedrooms at the back of the house," he replied.
"Ok, Hevy stack up," I said to David.
David then hoped over to the other side of the door that I was at and he gave me a nod. I nodded back and held up my three middle fingers to represent 3 seconds, then 2 and finally 1. David then kicked the door down and hid back around the corner. As he pulled back around the corner I popped out and shot both the enemies in the chest which killed them instantly. I then said, "Clear. Hevy cover me. Kicks get in here." As soon as I finished saying that David was covering the front door and Dimitri was following me into the master bedroom. We then opened the door into the master bathroom. We found my mum and sister still bound and with their eyes closed almost as if they were someone else. I then asked, "Ma'am are you alright?"
She then opened her eyes and she looked disoriented, but she managed to give me a small nod. I then grabbed my combat knife and started cutting the bindings that were around her hands and feet. I then pulled off the gag and moved onto my sister. My mum then asked me, "Who are you people."
I replied with, "That doesn't matter at the moment, but we are the good guys. Now listen grab two or three bags and fill them with clothes and some light-weight snacks. Pack for your entire family."
She then replied with a question I should have expected but it still hit me like a freight train. It was, "Where are my sons and husband and are they ok?"
Dimitri looked at me wondering how I was going to reply. I replied, "Your husband is fighting off waves of attackers at Amberly last I heard and your sons are fine."
She replied with, "I understand how you know my husband's situation but how do you know about my son's situation?"
I had enough of the questions, so I pulled up my balaclava so that she could see my face and then I pulled it back down and said, "That is how. Now we don't have long. Die Hard what is your status?"
"The remaining enemies are dead," Bailey replied.
"Good," I replied with.
I then heard Jordan call over the radio, "This is Cody calling Gregor come in Gregor."
I replied with, "This is Gregor what is up Cody."
He then said in a panic, "We have a heavily armoured convoy incoming you need to get out now."
"Confirmed, Cody but we can't leave just yet," I replied.
"Why not?" He asked back.
"Because I have a tech cashe stored in my wardrobe with lots of essential tech we are going to need such as heart-beat sensors and NVGs," I reply.
I then hear Liz over the radio, "Well then grab it and get out because you don't have a lot of time," she said.
"Copy that," I reply over the radio I then say to my mum, "could you please pick up the pace?"
"I am going as fast as I can," she replied, "by any chance could you tell me who those guys were and what did they want?"
"Gladly. They were the ADFF they have invaded us, and they only have one goal." I replied.
"And that is?" My mum asked.
"To hand me on a gold plater to the Americans. I can't tell you why as that would put you in more danger than you already are and because not even my team knows why they want me," I said.
"Ok. This should be enough," she said as she zipped up the remaining bags that she just finished packing.
I then checked in on Liz through the radio I said, "Cody, Senator, how long do we have?"
"None," Jordan replied. To make matters worse, we then heard a vehicle stop outside and a tank soon followed.
I then called over the radio, "All units prepare for contact." I then looked at my mum and said, "Mum take Felicity and hide under the bed in my room and don't come out till I come and get you OK."
"Ok," she said as she led my sister to my room.
I then said, "Die Hard you take the right side of the house. Osiris the right. The Ghostriders and I will take the front. Senator, Cody. We will need sniper support just don't blow your cover."
"Copy that," Liz replied.
Meanwhile… Across the street… Liz's Point of View…
"How good of a shot are you?" Blair's brother Jordan asked me.
"1 to 1 ratio," I replied.
"1 hit, 1 miss," he said.
"No," I said, "1 shot, 1 kill."
"That is a very good ratio," he said.
'I know' I thought. I then said, 'Now be quiet or you will blow our cover."
"Oh right," he said.
Sometimes I wonder how he is related to Blair, but now isn't the time for that. Now is the for giving Blair covering fire.
Three people then started walking towards the front gate. I then said over the radio, "Gregor you have three coming at you from the front gate."
He then replied with, "Copy that Senator. Just focus on finding the commander and take him out if you get the chance."
I replied with, "Confirmed."
I then started looking for the commander whether he be a Sergeant, a Lieutenant or a Captain and after 30 seconds I found him sticking his head out of the turret of the lead tank he was shouting out orders in Arabic, most of which I couldn't understand but I could determine that they were talking about some kind of celebration.
That was when the gunfire broke out I then took the shot on the commander and the bullet went through his left temple killing him instantly and leaving the force without a commander very early on in the fight. However, these guys were no push overs they were very well trained they took cover and one of them took command of the situation and started giving out orders. He sent the majority of his forces to storm the house, but he had known that his former boss had been sniped and sent the rest of his force to clear the rest of the street house by house, room by room.
I then told Jordan, "Cody, get ready we are about to have company." He then loaded his M249 and got it ready for combat. I then got on the radio to Blair and said, "Gregor this is Senator."
He replied with, "Kind of busy Senator but what is up," He said I could hear bullets whizzing by in the back ground and yelling.
"Be advised that Cody and I may have been compromised and that these guys are no push overs these guys are well trained and well experienced," I said to Blair.
"Displace then," he replied.
As he said that I heard the front door get kicked down and I said to Blair, "To late they are in the building, Senator out." I then stopped talking to Blair and I looked at Jordan he had positioned himself on one side of the door with his M249 ready, so I decided to wait on the opposite side of the door with my MP5 SD. My MP5 SD was a modified version of the standard MP5 the MP5 SD had a built-in suppressor but mine also had a red-dot sight and a vertical foregrip.
After 2 minutes Jordan and I heard voices outside the door we looked at each other and nodded. There was no other way out we would have to shoot our way out. They then blew the door down with a breaching charge and…
A.N: So, Jeremy, Ryan and Alana are safe, and Blair managed to save his mum and sister. He also managed to get into contact with his father. But now pinned down by enemy tanks what can Blair do. Liz what will she do she is cut off from everyone else with only Blair's brother Jordan to support her how will this end.
