Chapter 14: Iron Sights
Rock steadied his aim on the sniper rifle. He knew that he couldn't just start picking off targets one-at-a-time, as he wasn't sure if he had enough ammunition for it. Plus, he would run the risk of giving away his position. So, he calmly scanned the area, looking for anything that might give him an edge over the vast number of armed killers crawling all over the place.
But suddenly… Rock's face turned from calm, to shock.
Rising over a small stack of containers… a set of rotating wings began to loom over, until revealing itself to be a helicopter.
With air superiority, Rock knew that the mercs would instantly know where he was. So, aiming down the scope of the G3SG/1, the Japanese man let out an exhale and steadily placed his finger on the trigger.
… And FIRED.
The sound of the shot quickly rang across the area.
Blood splattered across the windshield, as the high caliber bullet landed in the chest of the pilot.
The helicopter began to spin out of control, causing a door gunner to fly out onto the ground. The large vehicle crashed with the blades splintering everywhere into pieces.
A few mercenaries, instantly went on the offensive, aiming their guns in all directions. Unaware of what was to come.
Rock aimed the G3SG/1 again. And this time, aimed for the exposed fuselage of the helicopter. He wasted no time, as another shot rang across air.
The bullet hit the fuselage with a clank, and what was left of the helicopter… exploded in a massive fireball. Most of the mercs were incinerated in the massive cloud of flames, while others were cut to shreds by the burning hot pieces of flying shrapnel.
As this occurred, Rock had discarded the rifle and climbed down the ladder of the water tower with his MP5/40 at the ready.
Slowly moving forward with his rifle at the ready… inching closer to the area full of dead bodies which were overcast by the lights hanging overhead.
"KILL THAT FUCKER!" shouted a unknown person.
A few surviving mercs who were looking worse for wear, jumped up from behind cover and opened up on the Japanese man.
Rock ran behind damaged container, and waited for his chance.
As the mercs were finished reloading, Rock hit two with a spray of bullets, turning them both into blood sprinklers.
Another mercenary popped out from behind cover, but couldn't even get a shot out. As he was easily dispatched by the far more experienced killer.
Making sure there weren't any more problems, Rock checked around every form of cover, behind every corner. Satisfied that there weren't any mercs still breathing Rock rested the MP5/40 on his shoulder and continued walking forward.
He was stopped dead in his tracks as he heard a large bang on a container door. Rock turned and saw a pair of doors, kicked open by a large, beefy mercenary with a Mossberg 500 Cruiser.
The large merc cocked the handle and aimed at the Japanese man.
Rock put his hands up and said, "Wow… you are big"
Rock threw the MP5/40 away and said, "You are big… so why don't we do this."
Rock gestured for the merc to come, he put up his dukes and got into a fighting stance.
"C'mon let's go… this place is probably the best setting for this huh?" said Rock.
Without a second thought, the mercenary rested his Cruiser against the container and, also, put up his dukes.
The two killers began to circle each other, sizing their opponent up.
"C'mon… we're gonna do this… we're gonna do it right…" said Rock.
The merc through a few punches in the air and continued to circle the Japanese man.
When they went through half a circle, no one could guess what would happen next.
"You are big… you are big… you are so fucking stupid" said Rock as he casually grabbed the Mossberg 500 and aimed it at the merc.
The merc's eyes went wide-eyed as Rock casually pulled the trigger, and watched as the buck shot left a large hole in the bulky merc's chest.
Rock rested the smoking shotgun on his shoulders before walking over the large mercenary's body and casually grabbed a cigarette from his vest's chest pocket.
Rock lit the cigarette and looked over to the far east of the compound.
There, he saw a building with a few satellites on the roof.
"That must be their comms center… if I can get there… I can probably contact Benny" planned Rock.
Rock finished smoking the cig before discarding it and pushing forward.
As Rock walked further away from the area, a large picture could be seen.
The bodies of dead mercenaries littered the entire area, with the burning chassis of the helicopter in the middle, and the blood of the mercenaries, painted a pretty gruesome picture of what happens when someone gets in the iron sights of the Japanese gunman.
