HEAVY DUBSTEP MUSIC REQUIRED FOR THIS CHAPTER(no, not really)

Lol.

Blu, Jewel, and the rest of team 1 are now inside Scarlet's transport helicopter. Scarlet is instructed to fly over to the co-ordinates ordered by the Master Sergeants themselves. When they all finally arrived at their location, the helicopter hovered slowly to the dense shrubs below.

"Ok, it's time to get off. I need to refuel soon." said Scarlet, monitoring her fuel gauge.

The entire group hopped off the safety of the aircraft, weapons loaded.

"Ok, listen up team. We don't know what's out there, so we all need to precede the mission with caution!" ordered Blu.

"Rysul, what's your status?" Jewel asked through her radio transmitter.

Her receiver responded back with some static. "I am airborne, over. Waiting for further orders." He replied, piloting his A-10 3,000 feet above the ground.

"10-4" she replied.

Smoke decides to lead his team into formation he planned before the mission. Angel and Crystal are the furthest behind the entire team. Their job is to cover them with recon support from close to long range. The Hornbill is positioned in the middle of the formation. He is to watch everyone's flanks to prevent ambushes or hit and run assaults. Smoke, the leader of the group is in the front of the group. He will lead the infiltration head on along with Blu and Jewel as his operatives.

"Our team is ready for deployment." Smoke cried without fear.

"Ok, let's go. Follow and watch our 6." Blu said, motioning the team to trail on.

So everyone walked in complete awareness for roughly 2 miles. They arrived in front of the enemy base several hundred feet away. The base consists of a huge two story concrete structure riddled with bullet holes. The walls surrounding the base were at least three times the height of Smoke himself and had a wire-gate entrance in the middle of each wall. Four watchtowers were installed at each corner inside the perimeter of the exterior walls. They were for guards to detect any incoming threats and ultimately eliminate them. At least ten mercenaries were on the ground outside of the base, loaded with AK-47's in their grasp.

Team 1 hid away from site in the safety of the canopy.

"Shit. That is one hell of a security protocol in place." Blu whispered.

"It'll be nearly impossible to get inside from the look of things." Jewel added, unsure of the mission itself.

"We are not ordinary soldiers. They have no idea of what we are capable of doing to them." Smoke replied, confident in his abilities.

"I'm all for it. Let us do what we're called in for!" The Hornbill said.

"Who said we have to go inside? We are eliminating them, not taking anything from them besides their lives!" Angel said.

"Never back down from a fight! This isn't a stealth mission after all!" Crystal said.

"Well then…have it your way. We'll provide some covering fire while we all take them out together. The least we can do is to grab some valuables inside when we're done." Jewel said, holding her weapon in a defensive stance.

Smoke suddenly gestured a variety of hand signs in a blur.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!" Smoke shouted. Like a fierce dragon from a fantasy book, he flumed out an enormous inferno that consumed the 10 mercenaries on the ground. As they yelled in pure agony from the flames, he opened fire with his M416 at them, finishing them off to their demise. More of the guards started moving out of the base and began to open fire at the team.

"What the fuck just happened?" shouted one mercenary.

"There's this guy who can breathe fire! I'm getting out of this shi-"

Before another mercenary finished his sentence, he was decapitated by a M82 round. Blood throttled upward like a geyser from his neck.

"Fuck! Fuck! We're taking casualties!"

"Don't worry. I got those fuckers here!"

A guard who is stationed in one of the towers shot a rocket directly at Blu and Jewel.

"Honey, get down!" Blu cried as they both hit the deck not knowing it was projected to hit them. He covered her with his entire left wingspan in hopes of protecting her

The Hornbill saw this and immediately retaliate the attack. He jumped in front of them both and extended his left wing at the rocket.

"Almighty Push!" He cried. A blast of highly compressed air escaped from his wing. The rocket was merely inches away from him when it was deflected back in the opposite direction. When the guards on that tower realized the rocket was approaching, it was too late. The rocket hit the structure, decimating everything into a huge explosion.

As the sounds of war rang in the air, Blu and Jewel got up from the floor. They were safe for now thanks to the Hornbill's heroic act.

"Thanks for saving us!" Blu said, still stunned by what occurred.

"Thank me later when we're out of this mess!" The Hornbill replied.

Blu and Jewel are now picking off a few more guards stationed at three other towers with their rifles.

Meanwhile, The Hornbill was busy helping Smoke clearing out the waves of soldiers. He drilled through flesh and blood from his enemies as he shot his M240B for what it felt like several hours.

Crystal motioned a few hand-signs, preparing to aid in the fight.

"Ice Style: Ice Barricade!" She cried. Several walls of thick ice ascended from the ground in front of everyone, providing them with usable cover. Blu and Jewel had now engaged a handful of merchs who were getting to close to the Hornbill.

"Ok, we need Rysul's help. Call in air support before someone gets-"

Smoke was cut off by being pelted by three 7.62 mm rounds to the chest.

"Ahhh! Damn it! I'm down!" Smoke yelped in pain, falling to the floor.

"That's right, you bastard! Stay down!" yelled a very delighted Mercenary.

Several rounds fired from a distance to the enemy soldier who was celebrating, turning him into swiss cheese.

"Smoke! Fuck, someone help me drag him out of the crossfire!" Blu cried.

"I'm on it! Don't die on me just yet!" The Hornbill replied, running desperately to save one of his best friends.

"I'll cover you two! Get him out of there!" cried Jewel, crouching down over the downed Macaw.

Blu and the Hornbill grabbed Smoke by the talons. They both dragged him out of the active conflict while Jewel and the recon squad took out several advancing mercenaries. He still had a lot of strength in him; he was surely able to live from his wounds or even aid in battle. He was simply immobilized for the moment being.
