Gideon: llona, we're approaching the north wall. Whats your position ?
llona: Just get to the gate. We'll find you
Gideon: Mitchell bust it !!
Mitchell: Roger that.
he smashes the lock to the gate.
Gideon: Hold that gate until i'm under.
Mitchell: Hurry Gideon. There's more AST coming !!
Gideon slids underneath the gate while more of Atlas AST's and reinforcements are approaching.
Gideon: MITCHELL LOOK OUT
An AST fires a rocket at Mitchell causing him to fly outside the prison gate.
AST: WARNING !! Eject from suit !!
Mitchell ejects from the suit before its destroyed completely. llona then pulls up in a truck.
Gideon: There they are !!
llona: Hurry up and get in. We gotta move !!
Mitchell: Where's Cormack ?
llona: He's in the back !! Dont worry i'll help him. Just drive !!
They get into the truck.
Gideon: Shit. Lets pray we're not to late Mitchell.
Mitchell: I hope not Gideon.
They drive off.
Burning Base
Mitchell: We need to check on Cormack.
They went to the back of the truck.
llona: Come on Cormack stay with me... We're almost there.
Cormack: Almost there...
Mitchell: Its not much further Cormack.
He grabs Mitchell by the arm
Cormack: Whatever you do Mitchell...Dont stop. Dont...
llona: Cormack ?
Nothing
llona: CORMACK !!
Gideon: He's dead llona. There's nothing more that we can do for him.
Silence
Mitchell: So what now Gideon ? Irons pretty much destroyed everything that we had. We have nothing left.
llona: We still have each other.
Silence
Gideon: Alright. Here's the plan. We're gonna finish this thing.
llona: How can we do with that when there's only three of us left Gideon ? Dont you think that's Suicide ?
Gideon: Your right llona. It is Suicide. But its what Cormack would've done.
They looked back down at his corpse.
Mitchell: You got any ideas on how we're gonna do this ?
Gideon: Just one. I need to get in contact with Kingpin. We'll need some supplies.
llona: Alright i'll drive.
Mitchell: Are you sure llona ?
llona: Yes. I'll be fine Mitchell.
Gideon: Alright. Lets move out.
They drove for about 2hrs straight to Kingpins Safehouse. Once they arrived the soldiers removed Cormacks body before they headed inside of the facility.
Kingpin: Glad your still with us Mitchell. Cormack was a good soldier. We'll mourn him later, but right now we have bigger issues.
Mitchell: Thats what we wanted to talk to you about Sir. Gideon has a plan for our attack.
Kingpin: Step into my office.
They walked into his office before stopping in front of a wide screen. It showed all of the cities where Manticore would hit. Starting off with Washington Dc as its first target
Kingpin: So what kind of plan are you talking about ?
Gideon: Sir we should hit the Command center in a frontal assault. Taking down Manitcore and Irons at the same time.
Kingpin: Continue.
Gideon: Irons has an underwater Facility in the Command Center. We can get into the facility from the back with some mech suits. It'll help us stop it from launching.
Kingpin: And how are you planning on getting into New baghdad when its contaminated ?
Gideon: We can fly in on drones. We'll need some ground units to cover us if possible.
Mitchell: Once we get to the drop point we'll be on our own.
Silence
Kingpin: Ok. You have yourself a plan Gideon. I'll see about having reinforments boots on ground to cover you. Get suited up and meet the pilots near the heli-pad.
Gideon: Yes sir.
They both headed towards the door before the General stopped them again.
Kingpin: And Gideon ?
Gideon: Sir ?
Kingpin: Good luck. he smiled.
Gideon: Thank mate.
He left the office.
Rec-Room
llona: So what happened ?
Gideon: The plan worked. Now all we have to do is take down Irons.
llona: Where's Mitchell ?
Gideon: He's putting on his suit.
llona: Hmm..
Gideon wanted to ask llona if her and Mitchell were fucking around but he just couldnt bring himself to think about it right now. With Joker, Knox and Cormack dead he just had to much on his mind.
Mitchell: Ok well, I'm suited and booted. When can we leave to kill this bitch Gideon ?
Gideon: Soon Mitchell. The pilots should be waiting for us. llona im gonna need your help on this one. You'll fly Mitchell in and another pliot will fly me in. When we get there we'll detach before proceeding to our target.
llona: Ok. Just be careful out there Gideon. I dont wanna lose you guys to.
Mitchell: Cant make any promises.
llona was gonna punch mitchell in the arm but she realized that he had armor on.
llona: Your lucky that your arms are heavily protected Mitchell.
Mitchell: Whatever llona. You still wouldnt do anything. he pushed her playfully.
llona: We'll see about that.
Gideon: Alright you two love birds. Lets get going.
Gideon left the room first but before Mitchell could leave llona blocked his path by placing a kiss upon his lips as if she'll never seen him again. Mitchell was caught off guard and almost threw her up against the wall but instead he just kissed her back.
Mitchell: What was that for ?
llona: Good luck.
Mitchell: Thanks.
llona: No problem.
They turned to leave the room.
llona: You still have one coming when you get back Mitchell. she smiled.
Mitchell: Ok mom. he laughed.
New Baghdad
Kingpin: Sentinel 2-1 we are still detecting high levels of contamination in the area. We will drop you off you at the location but we will not be able to get ground forces to assist you. Over.
Gideon: Copy that Kingpin.
llona: We got enemy forces closing in.
Mitchell: I've got them.
Mitchell takes them down with some Rockets and missiles.
Gideon: Good hit.
llona: 200 meters to drop point !!
They continue clearing out the enemy soldiers before dropping into the water.
Gideon: Kingpin, we're subsurface. We're now approaching the breach point.
Kingpin: 2-1 be advised. We will be forced to strike the command center if you do not stop the launch. We may risk further Manticore contamination, but it be our only option. If you cant stop it. Get the hell out of there.
Gideon: Copy that.
Mitchell: Breaching point up ahead. Are you ready Gideon ?
Gideon: Im always ready mate.
Mitchell: Alright. Ladies first. he smirked
Gideon: Fuck you Mitchell.
They make their up the stairs and into the facility taking down any enemy soldier that cross their path.
llona: Gideon, The thermal readings are spiking inside of the command center. They're going to launch soon.
Gideon: Dont worry we'll make it.
Mitchell: Watch your left Gideon.
Gideon: I see em.
They keep going until they reach a shield thats protecting the missile.
Gideon: SHITE !! llona, the missile is sheilded !! we'll need another access point !!
llona: Copy that. Head down to the exhaust vents. They're on the bottom floor.
Gideon: Copy that. Mitchell !! get down stairs !!
Mitchell: Roger that.
As they fight their way through the facility they notice that more Atlas Soldiers are coming including AST's.
Mitchell: SHIT. WATCH OUT !!
Gideon: Damn AST. Lets see how you like this.
He took down the AST with rockets before meeting up with Mitchell down stairs. They end up killing all of the soldiers before proceeding towards the hatch.
PA: Launching in One - Minute.
Gideon: Go Mitchell !!
They jump down the hatch.
Mitchell: The launch is starting !!
PA: Begin primary launch in Five. Four. Three.
Gideon: Brace yourself !!
PA: Two. One.
The launch starts up as Mitchell and Gideon shoot at it constantly.
Gideon: KEEP SHOOTING MITCHELL !!
After shooting at the Missile it then stops which makes them both collapse to the ground. Causing Mitchell to black out.
Gideon: Mitchell hang on !!
Mitchell: W...what happened ?
Gideon: We stopped the launch.
Mitchell: Ok.
Mitchell blacks out again but Gideon slaps him across the face to keep him awake.
Gideon: Come on mate. I'm gonna get you out of here.
Gideon carrys Mitchell on his back but then sets him down when more enemy forces start to approach.
Mitchell: There's more coming.
Gideon: Hold them off !!
They killed all of the Atlas soldiers before Mitchell blacks out again Leaving Gideon to carry him.
Gideon: Stay with me Mitchell.
Kingpin: Sentinel 2-1. The city defenses are breaking. And Atlas troops are collasping. We need to know the status of that launch.
Gideon: Copy that Kingpin. The launch has been aborted. I repeat the launch has been aborted. Do you copy ?
Static
Gideon: Kingpin come in !!
Static
Gideon: Damnit. They're gonna hit this building any minute. I'm setting you down Mitchell. I need you to try and walk. Ok ?
Mitchell: I can't see shit Gideon.
Gideon: We need to find some light.
But Irons shows up on the other side of the door as the lights come on.
Irons: Hello Mitchell.
Gideon: Dont fucking move.
Irons: I could ask the same of you.
Gideon: SHITE. He's hacking our exos.
Mitchell: Im all out of ammo !!
Gideon: So am i !!
Irons: You guys rely to much on those things.
Gideon: The city's falling Irons !! Its over !!
Irons: What i've started wont end with me. You think that im a monster ? Some kind of maniac ? Im only doing whats necessary.
Mitchell: Necessary ? Like attacking the United States ?
Gideon: Or unleashing Manticore and killing thousands of innocent people.
Gideon felt his anger boil up inside of him. If he wasnt stuck he would've broke Irons neck.
Irons: I'm saving the world from itself !! When there's no one left to challenge Atlas there will be no more wars !! there had to be sacrifices along the way.
Gideon: Only twisted fucks throughout history would have used the same arugment. They dont know that we've stopped the launch.This entire building will come down on top of you.
Mitchell: And when it does i'll be there to piss on your corpse.
Irons walked near Mitchell with a pistol to his head.
Irons: I should've killed you in the prison camp. I could kill you now !! But i wont. Im not a monster.
Irons starts to run away leaving Mitchell and Gideon stuck.
Gideon: Mitchell try hitting the release button on your exo !!
Mitchell does and it unlocks.
Gideon: Now mine !!
Mitchell: Shit. Its not working.
Gideon:There's no time !! if he gets away. This would all have been for nothing !!
Mitchell: Im not leaving you Gideon.
Gideon: Mitchell you have to go. Now !!
Mitchell: No !!
Gideon: Go damnit !! i'll catch up. I promise.
He hugged Gideon before taking off after Irons.
