A.N: Hello everyone here is chapter 13 of The Dragonborn. My recommended story this time is the story 'Lightning and Death Itself' which is written by the author 'Cke1st'. The story is another one of the countless Hiccup turns into a nightfury stories but Cke1st has really out done themselves with this it has had over 100, 000 reads, nearly 1200 favourites, 1000 followers and is almost 150 chapters long. When I read it I must say as an honest opinion I liked it a lot. It had good action scenes and even as I thought ahead with what I though was going to happen Che1st then managed to implement something that I didn't think of which is what makes it great. Now time for this chapters summary. Blair and Liz wounded and have been rescued by Galaxy and Night Lock and they have made it to the safety of 'Sanctuary' but are they even safe there. Also Because of personal problems and school assignments and exams I my miss an upload or two every now and again just as a heads up. Anywho now to the story

Last time on the Dragon Born:
The radio went silent after that and Liz and I started zeroing out scopes. I then heard an explosion come from behind us when I turned I saw that the cat walk had taken a mortar shell and was now broken. I then said, "Well we aren't going back that way."
I then turned to look back outside, and I saw a T-72B with supporting infantry coming down the road. Liz then asked, "How are we supposed to take that out?"
I then picked my radio up again and asked, "Are there any anti-tank weapons on the south side?"
I then heard someone say, "This is Corporal Banks we two Carl Gustavs on the south side. Why?"
I replied with, "Do you not see the T-72B that is coming up the road."
"Yes we do see it, but it is out of range," said Banks.
I then remained quiet I then asked, "Wolffe what is the status on the scrambler?"
"It is already running," was the reply.
'Good,' I thought.
I looked back out and I saw the projectiles of the Carl Gustavs being shot at the tank. The first just bounced of its armour, but the second hit it's track which broke it. The tank then stopped moving, but then the turret started turning it turned and it stopped once it was pointing at the entrance of the stadium. I then yelled over the radio, "Take cover."
A mere 2 seconds after I finished yelling the shell shot. Everything then just slowed down I threw Liz and myself down then everything sped back up and the shell hit the entrance. I then got back up and helped Liz back up. I then said, "Southern defenders what is your status?"
I then heard a voice reply, "It is just me left everyone else is dead." It was Corporal Jenkins.
"Corporal are you injured?" I asked.
"No, but this defensive line is lost," Jenkins said.
"Fall back further into the stadium. Senator and myself will cover you," I said.
"Copy that," replied Jenkins.
I then said, "Senator lay down suppressing fire. I then grabbed my radio and said, "Lieutenant the south side defences have been wiped out Corporal Jenkins is all that is left. We need support."
"You're in luck Gregor. I have managed to scrounge up 2 A-10 warthogs for support. Do you have an IR laser designator?"
"Yes we do," I said as I grabbed the IR designator from my bag.
"Well laze targets for the A-10s and they will take care of the rest," said Loch.
"Copy that Lieutenant. Also what is the status on the helicopters?" I asked.
"They are arriving on site now and are loading up the civilians," Loch replied.
"Are there any attack choppers?" I asked.
"There are 4 Apache gunships that are ready to provide support," Loch said.
"Perfect," I replied, "we will need all the help we can get on the south side."
"Copy that, just hold out for another 15 minutes," Loch said.
"15 minutes bull shit 15 minutes. We won't last 5 get at it," I replied.
"Doing the best we can," Loch said.
"I understand but you have to do better," I said. I then said, "Corporal Jenkins what is your status?"
"I am pinned at the entrance. Where is the covering fire?" Jenkins said.
"We are doing the best we can," I replied. I then remembered that I had smoke grenades, so I said, "Corporal get ready to run when you see the smoke."
"Copy that. Standing by," Jenkins replied.
I then threw two smoke grenades and then grabbed my sniper rifle and started shooting at any enemies that I could see I then heard Jenkins say, "Thanks for the assist Gregor and Senator. I am pulling back now."
I then got on my radio and asked, "Lieutenant what is the callsign of the A-10 supporting the south side?"
"His callsign is 'Red'. How copy?" He said.
"Confirmed. Good copy," I said, "Red this is Gregor I need you to hit anything that I mark with the IR designator."
"Copy that I am turning into an attack run now," Red replied.
"Ok," I said. I then turned on the IR designator and aimed it at the T-72B and said, "Red target is marked."
"Copy that I see it. I am coming in but it will be danger close," he said.
"We don't care just destroy that tank," I said.
"Copy that. Keep your heads down, down there," Red said.
Then all I could hear is the vrmmmmmmm of the Warthogs 30mm Gattling cannon. After the Warthog stopped shooting and pulled out of its attack run I looked at where the tank was, and I saw that it was full of holes, I then said, "Great job Red target destroyed," then movement on the Go Between bridge caught my eye. Upon closer inspection with my sniper rifles scope I saw that a column of T-72Bs were crossing the bridge. I then said, "Red I need you to target the Go Between bridge. Sink it into the river."
"Gregor, I have been given direct orders to limit damage to infrastructure," Red said.
"I don't care if you don't sink that bridge, we won't need extraction we will need SAR birds," I said.
"Copy that. I will give it a Maverick," Red said.
"Copy that Red," I said, "Lieutenant how is it coming?"
"You're good to pull back the final chopper is being loaded. You can get back here I can see your chopper coming in now," Loch said.
"Copy that we are on our way back now," I said, "Jeremy pull back to the playing field our ride is here." I then tapped Liz on the shoulder and said, "Time to go."
I then heard an explosion coming from behind us and when I turned to see what it was, and I saw the A-10 Warthog pulling out of an attack run and the Go Between bridge falling into the Brisbane river and all the tanks falling into the river with it. I then said, "Great shot Red we are done here."
"Copy that Gregor. Come on Stella lets get out of here," I heard Red say.
Liz and I then ran along the catwalks and we slid down the ladders into the stands. Liz and I then ran onto the field where I saw a huey sitting in the middle of the field with Interstellar, NightLock and Jeremy already in the back. As Liz and I ran towards the chopper I heard a gunshot and I heard Liz scream. When I turned I saw Liz on the ground and blood near her foot I ran back to Liz I then helped her up and threw her arm over my shoulder and helped her get to the chopper. I then saw Jeremy get out of the chopper and started shooting into the stands I then realised that the enemies were now in the stands and would be on top of us any minute. I grabbed my radio and said, "Red are you still near the Stadium?"
"Yes, what is the problem?" He asked.
"I need you and Stella to run gun runs on the stands. I am on my way to my extraction chopper but the enemies are right on our heels," I said.
"Ok, where are you?" He asked.
"Almost smack dab in the middle of the field." I said, "Hit anything that moves in the stands.
"Copy that coming in now," I heard Red say.
Then all I could hear was the vrrrrrmmmmm of the A-10s' 30mm Gattling cannon. But even with all the fire the two A-10s were putting down bullets were still being shot at us and with 50 metres left between us and the chopper a bullet finally found it's mark and hit me in the left leg. Next thing I knew I saw NightLock dragging me the remaining fifty metres to the helicopter. I then passed out from the lack of blood. Even though I couldn't see anything I could still hear voices. I heard one voice say, "… get us back to sanctuary," and another say, "He has lost a lot of blood get the medkit."
Then my mind finally fell asleep as I ran out of strength to remain conscious.

Somewhere West of Sydney, On board a Chinook, Australia… (David's Point of View)…
I was in the middle of speaking to Dimitri when I felt the Chinook turn to the right. So I decided to head up to the cockpit and find out what was going on. "What is going on?" I asked the pilot.
"We have been diverted to Canberra," the co-pilot replied.
"Why?" I asked.
"We are being sent to Canberra to assist in a high tier hostage rescue," the co-pilot answered.
"Who are we rescuing?" I asked.
"The Prime Minister," answered the pilot.
Meanwhile… At the Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia… (Jeremy's Point of view)…
I was sitting in the back of the huey watching Blair and Liz run towards it. Then I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and then Liz screamed and fell to the ground. I then hopped out of the huey and started firing at where I saw the movement with my RSASS. As I was shooting into the stands Blair turned and picked up Liz and started helping here toward the chopper. I then heard Blair saying over the radio that he wanted the A-10s to do gun runs. Everything was going great till they were 50 metres away. Blair fell to the ground and when I saw his leg I saw a bullet wound. I then saw NightLock run towards Blair and carried him the last fifty metres. I then was about to run and get Liz but Interstellar beat me to the chase and helped Liz the last 50 metres to the chopper.
Interstellar then said, "Flash, Raineir, get us out of here. Get us to Sanctuary."
"Copy that," came the reply from the cockpit.
I then grabbed Blair's radio and said, "Red, Stella, this is Wolffe thanks for the assist."
"Anytime Wolffe, also who was it that went down?" Asked Red.
"Senator took a bullet to the foot and Gregor took a bullet to the leg," I said.
"Oh. Anywho good luck and safe travels," Red said.
"You too Red," I replied.
I then heard Red say, "Come on Stella lets get out of here and RTB."
I then heard NightLock say, "He has lost a lot of blood get the medkit."
Interstellar then scrambled through a small cupboard and grabbed the medkit.
2 days later… Unknown location known as 'Sanctuary'… (Blair's Point of View)…
I opened my eyes and looked around. I was lying down on what I assumed to be a hospital bed and I was in a room full of white. I sat up on the bed and I tried to remember what had happened and where I was. I then heard a voice say from the doorway, "You're awake." It was Interstellar.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"You are in Sanctuary," Interstellar answered.
"Interstellar, where are my friends?" I asked
"Please call me Galaxy, and your friends are fine. Jeremy is training with our guards and your friend Liz is very loyal she was here till late last night. I told her to return to her room as she wouldn't be much help to you half asleep," Galaxy said.
"How long have I been out?" I asked.
"Two days," Galaxy said. "And before I forget I had better go and tell Liz that you are up."
"That would be great," I said.
"Also one last thing, to me something seems very familiar about Liz almost as if I have met her before," NightLock said.
"What makes you say that?" I asked.
"You see I am immortal I lost a good friend centuries ago. Yet I met someone who assured me that she would be reborn and that we would meet again," Galaxy said.
"And you think Liz is that person," I said.
"Potentially," Galaxy said.
"Well you better go and get Liz before she looses her shit with you for not telling her that I am awake," I said.
"True very true," Galaxy said.
And with that she left and once again I was alone in the hospital room. I then realised that all my gear was in a bag in the corner. It was then that I remembered most of what happened from the first gunshots to extracting for the Suncorp Stadium. I then sat on the edge of the bed with my legs hanging off the side and I looked at the pure white bandage on my leg and I thought, 'How many times would this have been changed.' I then remembered that I wasn't the only one to have been wounded and that Liz had been shot in the foot.
It was at that moment that Galaxy walked back in with Liz, who was hobbling in on crutches and with her left foot in a cast. I then asked, "How long should you need to keep that on?"
"The Doc said at least a month," Liz replied.
"A month," I repeated.
"There is no major damage just a slight fracture," said Galaxy.
"That is good," I said.
"I still haven't thanked you for saving me back at the Stadium, Interstellar," Liz said.
"Think nothing of it, and please call me Galaxy," Galaxy said.
"Galaxy," Liz said, "that name sounds familiar."
I then said, "Why don't you two go somewhere else so you can talk. I will be fine."
I watched them leave and then Jeremy entered and he asked, "How you doing?"
"Decent all things considered," I replied, "You been able to contact anyone yet."
"Spoke to David the yesterday. He said he helped deal with a hostage situation and couldn't say anymore," Jeremy said.
Then NightLock walked into the room and said, "Blair someone would like to see you."
"Who?" I asked.
"You will see," she replied.
I then got up and started walking towards the door. After about 5 meters Jeremy walked up to me and put my right arm around his shoulder and helped me follow NightLock. When we got out the door I saw Liz and Galaxy talking. I then gestured for Liz to follow. When Liz caught up with me I realised that she looked very happy. I then asked, "Why are you so joyful?"
"Well it turns out I am the reincarnation of one of Galaxy's old friends," Liz said.
"She told me that that was a possibility," I replied.
"Don't worry I am still me it just means I will be hanging out with her every now and again," she replied.
"Fair enough," I replied.
After ten minutes of walking through the hospital corridors, through streets and across bridges, we came up to a fortress that slightly represented a castle. NightLock then turned and said, "This is as far as they go,"
Liz and Jeremy both just stared at NightLock and Galaxy said, "You can both wait here. Look I will wait with you,"
I looked at them and they gestured me to go. I turned and nodded and walked through the entrance to the fort. I took notice to my surroundings, I saw many guards. On the walls, outside the entrances to building and at the entrance to the fort. I then looked forward and saw the keep to the fort. It was big. The doors to the keep then opened and I could see two thrones at the other end of the building. On and next to the thrones were four people. Two males and two females and they were locked in conversation and didn't notice me and NightLock enter.
Only when we were 25 meters from the thrones did they notice us. NightLock then did a bow and said, "Good afternoon your highnesses."
"Is this him," said the female that was on the throne.
"Yes," said NightLock.
"A little bit scrawnier than I was expecting," said the other woman.
I was about to object when I saw the battle axe that she had on her back. That and the fact that the male that wasn't on a throne said, "Do remember that I am scrawny and I brought peace between dragons and Berk. Also, he managed to survive the chaos that Australia has now become."
"He does have a point Astrid," said the male on the throne.
The female on the throne then said, "How rude of us to judge you Blair, how are you?"
"Good considering that I was shot two days ago and I am looking at the leaders of an organisation that I know basically nothing about," I said.
"Once again how rude of us. My name is Anju, this is my mate Toothless," she said gesturing to the male that was on the throne, "The woman with the battle axe is Astrid and the other male is her mate Hiccup."
"How is your leg?" Asked Hiccup.
"Apart from the limp it is fine thanks for asking," I replied.
"I know that feeling," said Toothless.
"As do I," Hiccup added. I hadn't noticed the metal peg leg that Hiccup had as his '' leg till he mentioned it.
"I was informed by NightLock here that I was some 'Dragonborn'. What is that?" I asked while gesturing at NightLock.
"She hasn't told you," Astrid said.
"She and Galaxy have but I would like to know more about what it entails," I said.
"As they have said you have the ability to turn into any type of dragon from a Nightfury to a Terrible Terror," said Hiccup.
"Interesting," I said, "It would explain why a couple of days before the invasion when ever I get annoyed my hands would get covered in pitch black scales."
"Well it seems that the Nightfury wants to be first," said Toothless.
"What do you mean?" I said.
"From what we have read from ancient texts the 'Dragonborn' turns 16 one of the six basic dragons' attributes will start to show up every now and again in the Dragonborn. For you it seems that the Nightfury has picked you," said Anju.
I then asked, "Can you teach me to control it?"
"Unfortunately, no. But we can take you to people who can," said Toothless.
"Come with us," said Toothless as both Anju and he stood up.
I followed them into a room that was off to the side of the throne room NightLock turned and left probably to report back with Galaxy and to tell Jeremy and Liz what was happening. Hiccup and Astrid then stood either side of the door on alert while Anju, Toothless and myself entered. The room had multiple mats on the floor and the walls were covered in foam.
"Take a seat," I heard Anju say. So I did. I took a seat on one of the mats that was facing them and I crossed my legs.
"We have to meditate to get there," said Toothless, and with that I closed my eyes.
When I opened them I was in a giant white expanse of white. Then I found that I was standing in front of a giant temple. I then saw Toothless and Anju already part way up the temples stairs. Toothless then asked, 'You coming?"
I replied with, "Yeah. Just in awe at the magnificence of this place."
"It was the same for us when we first came here a couple of years ago," said Anju.
I followed Anju and Toothless up the stairs and we entered the temple the main room of the temple was like a large open foyer with a desk near the centre and a multitude of doors lined the walls of the foyer separating it from the other rooms. At the desk was a tall, pale skinned female with short, curling, greying brown hair and dark brown eyes. Anju then said, "Ionla it has been a while."
"Too long if you ask me. Toothless," She said nodding at Toothless to say hello. She then noticed me and asked, "And who is this fellow?"
"Ionla this is Blair. He is the dragonborn," Toothless answered.
"Ohh," said Ionla, "I was starting to wonder when the next dragonborn was going to show up. So who does he need to see?"
"Who ever is doing the Nightfury," Anju said.
"That would be Claw-mne," said Ionla, "Fifth door on the right."
"This is as far as we go Blair," Toothless said.
"Ok. Thank you for taking this far," I replied as I walked towards the door.
"No problem," replied Anju.
I grabbed the door knob and took a deep breath. I slowly turned the knob and opened the door it was very dark inside. Yet despite the darkness I could see almost as clear as day. In the room I could see a person kneeling on their knees doing what appeared to be meditating. "Hello," I said, "are you Claw-mne?"
"Yes that is me you must be Blair," they said.
"Yes that is me," I replied.
"Please come and meditate with me," said the person.
I started walking toward where the person was kneeling and as I was doing so I took another look around the room and I could of swore that I saw movement in one of the corners of the room but when I looked there I saw nothing so I shook it off as nothing. When I got to the person I knelt next to them and saw that they were a male with green eyes like Toothless' and auburn hair. He then said, "It is wonderful isn't it?"
"What is?" I asked.
"Picture in your mind a Nightfury. 4 strong legs and paws. Retractable teeth. Supreme stealth. Low body profile. It is hard to beat. Now imagine yourself as a Nightfury just don't go wild with the colour scheme a good pure black usually works best," He said.
I did as he said yet for some reason I felt a small amount of discomfort. Once I had imagined it I tried to say, "done," yet what I heard was a roar. I though that it was odd. But I then heard Claw-mne say, "Now open your eyes."
And when I did I was looking into a mirror except I didn't see my refection I saw the reflection of a black and very dark green scaled dragon much like the one Claw-mne had described I then looked at myself and I saw two short but strong black and dark green legs and paws I then looked over my shoulder and I saw wings with the same colouring that had to span at least 50 meters and last of all I saw my tail all the way at the back.
I then heard Claw-mne say, "Now think about what you looked like before."
I did as he told me to and I opened my eyes again after a slight discomfort had ended and I found myself back looking like a human. I then asked '', "So that is what I look like as a Nightfury?"
"Yes and now that you have chosen it you are stuck with the colour scheme," he answered.
"So to change between human and Nightfury I just have to picture either form in my mind," I said.
"That is correct," replied Claw-mne.
"Cool," I said.
"Yes I thought so too," he replied. "However before you go I suggest learning how to turn into another dragon."
"Ok," I said, "Also will there always be discomfort when I change between forms?"
"No," he answered, "Once you have done it enough times you won't even feel it."
"Ok, "I said, Also this time may I see what all the dragons look like and what they can do before I pick them?"
"Sure," he said as he pulled down a poster which had the names, abilities and pictures of all of the dragons.
"There are a lot of dragons," I commented.
"No kidding it took me a couple of months before I was able to turn into each one," said 'Claw-mne'.
"I don't have that long, at least not yet anyways," I said.
"That I understand," he replied.
I looked at the poster of dragons and looked at all their abilities and my eyes stopped on one. "That one," I said as I pointed at the one labelled 'Changewing'.
"After the Nightfury that one is my favourite. Spits corrosive acid and can blend into any surrounding," Claw-mne said.
"That could come in very handy," I said.
"That I am not allowed to teach you but in the room to the left when you leave this room," he said.
"Thanks," I said as I left the room.
Yet as I opened the door I felt a dark presence enter my body and just as I shut the door I started getting a very big headache. I fell to the ground on my knees and I saw images of a Nightfury killing other Nightfuries and of images of an underground and mountain city on fire and dead and dying people and dragons were lying everywhere. Then there was the voice. The voice of evil. The voice said, "My name is 'Demon' and I can help you unlock your true power."
"You just want power it wouldn't surprise me if you're the exact same person who turned a blind eye and asked the C.I.A. to ask the ADFF to invade Australia," I thought.
"Actually I am not and you have my word for it," said 'Demon'. "Now please let me help."
"You will just make things worse. Now get out of my head," I thought.
"Fair enough but know that I will return," he said as I felt the dark presence leave my body.
Then I could see the temple again and Toothless, Anju and Ionla were either standing or kneeling next to me and then Anju asked, "Blair are you alright?"
I replied with, "Yeah I am fine. It is just someone by the name of 'Demon' was just in my head and I saw images of the city on fire and dead everywhere. I also saw Nightfuries being killed by one main Nightfury."
As I had said this Toothless' face went pure white. I realised that he knew something about whoever it was so I said, "Toothless you care to fill me in?"
"He was my father. I will explain later," Toothless said.
"Ok now where was the Changewing room again?" I said trying to recollect what I was going to do before 'Demon' showed up in my head.
"It is the door to the right of the Nightfury room," said Ionla.
"Thanks," I said as I started walking towards the door to the right of the Nightfury door.
I opened the door and walked inside. I saw lots of colours on the walls and I saw someone sitting in the centre of the room just as Claw-mne had been. "Come sit down," said a feminine voice.
I went and sat down next to her and she said, "The Changewing master of camouflage, stealth and precision destruction."
"Given the situation in Australia those will be very useful," I said.
"Ahh an Australian. Your name is Blair correct," said the woman.
"Yes that is right and your name is?" I asked.
"Tryx," Tryx replied.
"So Tryx what do I have to do?" I asked.
Tryx then pulled down a poster with a Changewing on it and said, "This is the Changewing it has special scales that allow it to blend into any surrounding and can spit corrosive acid that can destroy just about anything. Now you just have to do what you did for the Nightfury and you will be able to turn into a Changewing."
I then pictured myself as a Changewing and when I opened my eyes I saw a mirror again and the refection of me as a Changewing. I had large red wings, a red central horn on the tip of my snout and two further horns near my ears, I had short stumpy legs and a long body. I then heard I roar beside me. It was Tryx, she had said, "I will now show you how to change the colour of your scales so that you know how to blend in."
For the next ten minutes Tryx proceeded to show me how to change the colour of my skin and scales. After ten minutes I could change the colour of my skin and scales on a dime. We had changed back to our human forms and I was about to leave and thank Tryx for her help when she said, "I probably shouldn't be telling you this but I will anyways. Once you gain enough experience you will be able to use certain abilities in your human form. For example you can turn invisible."
"Thanks for the heads up and for showing me how to turn into a Changewing and how to change my scales and skin," I said.
"No problem," Tryx replied.
I then opened the door and left. I saw Anju and Toothless over by the main desk still talking with Ionla. I walked over and said, "Well that is me done for today. Time to go."
"As much as I like it here it does get boring very quick," said Anju.
"Ok, follow us," said Toothless.
Toothless and Anju then led the way out of the temple and then a blinding white light filled my eyes and when I could see again I was in the foam-walled room.
I all of a sudden felt very tired and I didn't want to move. But I didn't need to as Anju asked, "So how do you feel?"
"Tired," I replied.
"Well that is to be expected," added Toothless.
"I think I just need some rest and then I will be back in fighting form," I said.
"That is good. Would you like help to get back to where you will be staying?" Asked Anju.
I went to get up and then fell back down so I said, "Just get me to my friends and they will get me there."
"Ok I will help you there," said Anju as she helped me walk towards the front gate.
I saw that Liz, Jeremy and Galaxy were still waiting for me at the entrance. I then said, "Hi guys."
"You look like shit," said Jeremy.
"No shit Sherlock," I replied. "Now if your done insulting me could you please help me to where we will be staying."
Before I could get a reply a large 'crack' and then a sudden burst of pain in my lower chest and I fell to the ground. Lots of screaming and running could be heard I then heard people yelling, "Get back, get back," and then I heard someone say, "Are you alright your majesty?"
I heard Anju reply, "I am fine but they got the Delta Bravo. Bring him back inside the fort. Galaxy bring those two inside." It was at this point in time that I had realised that I had been shot again.
I then heard Liz say, "Blair. Blair are you alright?"
I weakly replied with, "Yes. This just isn't my week shot twice in one week."
I heard Liz reply, "True but you are strong you will make it."
I then heard Galaxy say, "Liz, Jeremy this way."
Then all I could hear was nothing but the sound of boots hitting the ground as the owners of the boots ran around. I then felt myself being lifted onto a stretcher and I couldn't remember anything after this as I passed out from blood loss.
2 days earlier… Half an Hour away from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia… (David's Point of View)…
"The Prime Minister," I said questioningly.
"Yes," said the co-pilot.
"And no one else can get there in time?" I asked.
"Only one other chopper but they have some of your mates on it," said the pilot.
"What is their fireteam name?" I asked.
"Die Hard," replied the co-pilot.
"Can't let them have all the fun now can we," I said. "Get us to Canberra."
"Right away," said the pilot as I left the cockpit.
David then walked up to Dimitri and said, "Load up we are going to be saving the PM."
"Copy that," said Dimitri as he prepped his weapons for combat.
I then heard walking behind me and I turned to see two of the people that we had saved when we split up with the main convoy. I heard them tell Blair their names. The male's name was Saxton and the female's was Meraki. Meraki then said, "We want to help."
I looked at Dimitri and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "We will need all the help we can get."
I then said, "Welcome aboard grab a rifle, a pistol, a helmet and Kevlar vest and some ammo."
"Yessir," they replied.
"Please just call me Hevy," I said.
"Ok Hevy," they said.
I then lead them over to a crate which had F88s, MP5s and USPs in it. "Take your pick," I said.
I then watched Saxton grab a USP and an F88 and Meraki picked a USP and a MP5. They then picked up a helmet each and a Kevlar vest each and put them on.
I them said, "When we hit the ground I want you to stay as close as possible to either Dimitri or myself. Got it."
"Yes," they said in unison.
"There is hope for you yet," I said.
Meanwhile… 2 kilometres away… (Zac's Point of View)…
"Rex the pilots want to see you," said Jordan as he came back from his stint up at the cockpit.
"Why?" I asked.
"Wouldn't say," replied Jordan.
"Better go and see what they want then," I said.
I then walked up to the cockpit and I asked, "What seems to be the problem?"
"We are needed for a principle level hostage rescue," the co-pilot said.
"Who?" I asked.
"The Prime Minister," the Pilot said.
"Ok I will inform my guys," I said as I left the cockpit.
"You have half an hour," said the pilot.
"Copy that," I said.
As I walked into the cargo hold of the chinook I said, "Cody, Fives. Load up."
"What for?" Asked Jordan.

Blair: Sarge do you hate me or something.
Sarge: Now what would make you think like that?
Blair: Well the fact that I have been shot twice now is a bit of a give away.
Sarge: Blair I don't hate you cause remember I am just an alternate version of you killing you would be the same as me killing myself and besides I am just adding a bit of drama it gets boring if the main hero makes it out of every battle unscathed.
Blair: Albeit that is true. It is just annoying and may I ask. Who the Hell was the person who shot me in Sanctuary.
Sarge: You will find out eventually Blair you will find out eventually. Any who till next time Sgt Sniper Man101 out.
