[Somewhere near Caracas, Venezuela]

It was currently a very dark knight in the city of Caracas as it was a night where the moon would not be up in the sky. It was so dark in fact that if one did not have any source of light they could not see their own hand in front of their face. The silence of the moonless night was cut off by the sound of a helicopter flying over the horizon.

Inside the helicopter was a several Man team of elite Delta Force commandos. They we're all stone face as they knew this would probably be the most important mission of their life.

"So we're really doing this, we're finally going after the head of the snake."said one of the Delta Force commandos.

"That is correct Johnson we're going after the guy who now leads the Federation ever since Almagro was assassinated, General Jaune Arc himself." responding to voice through the communicators

"That has got to be an alias there is no way that his name is similar to Joan of Arc, you agree with me right Walker."said Johnson

"Don't know don't care, this guy has been on Washington's hit list for seven years now ever since he became the head of the whole Federation."responded Commander Walker.

"So what do we know about him."

"Name: "Jaune Arc", his suspected age is 32, became the leader of the Federation seven years ago and is responsible for the advancement of technology throughout the Federation."

"Huh, according to these files he personally spearheaded the invasions of Mexico and other nations that would not submit to the Federation."

"Yeah, there are even rumors that he was personally trained by the traitor and former ghost team Commander Gabriel T Rourke."

"Geez that's bad, if this dude was trained by that Rourke then he must be extremely skilled in combat."

"It's not his skills on the battlefield at worry's Washington, it's his leadership. Guy managed to advance the Federations weaponry so much that now it rivals ours, and it's been proven that ever since he took the helm of the Federation military conscription for the Federation Army,Navy, and Air Force increase nearly overnight."

"I can see why Washington wants this guy dead but why aren't the ghosts handling this?Asked Johnson, who wondered why Washington wasn't sending their best team.

"The ghosts are too busy dealing with Rourke in no man's land, besides we're more than qualified to go after the head honcho himself."responded Walker.

"Okay that's enough,the man moves every 4 hours and this is our best shot we've had a getting him for the last five years, we can't afford to screw this up."objected another commando

"Samson is right! When you're going after a king you cannot afford to miss so get your game faces on."said Walker as the team dropped off at the landing zone which was a clearing in a thick jungle.

"Remember only use cam links from now on, his stronghold is several clicks away from here, we go inside find him and take them out, that should put the finishing blow into the Federation."said Walker as he and the rest of the Delta Force began moving in the direction of the stronghold.

Soon the team arrived at a facility covered by much brush and jungle with several guards clearly stationed at several key points throughout the facility. Without a word spoken the Delta team quickly took out the two guards guarding the entrance into the stronghold and once they were taken out simultaneously their bodies were moved as Johnson placed explosives on to the reinforced steel door.

After quickly and carefully putting the right wires on to the semtex explosives the Delta team got out of the way. once everyone was safe from the blast radius Johnson activated the explosives blowing the steel door off its hinges forcing it to the ground.

"Move in!"Yelled Walker as the go to teen made their way into the facility and quickly found themselves in a firefight with several Federation soldiers.

Soon the gun battle began with Johnson and Walker taking out several Federation soldiers simultaneously thanks to their Superior marksmanship. One Federation soldier try to ambush Samson but he was quickly intercepted and killed by his would-be victim.

Soon the battle turn into the delta forces favor as they quickly took out every Federation soldier that was in the facility.

"Let's move!"Yelled Walker as they looked around and saw that none of the soldiers that were killed was their target.

The Delta Force began going from room to room as quickly and efficiently as they could, determined to find the enemy General.

As they made there way to the final room in the small facility they each got on different sides of the door before looking at each other. Once they were in sync Johnson broke the door down with his foot and everyone inter inside but were surprised to see that no one was inside.

Each one of them looked at each other with confusion before smoke canister went into the room. Before any of them could react the canister exploded releasing an extremely nauseous green gas. As A-Team fell to the floor choking, suddenly the flat screen on the wall turned on.

On the screen was a tall man with blue eyes. For attire he wore a red beret with the Federation logo on the side in gold, tiger stripe camouflage covered by a black bulletproof vest, black fingerless gloves, and ankle high black combat boots that had the lining of his pants tucked in. the Delta Force immediately recognized them as General Jaune Arc, the leader of the Federation.

"Getleman what to what do I owe the pleasure of you bursting into my home and killing my men."said Jaune as the men were still struggling to get up because of the gas.

"Don't screw with us Arc, ever since the Federation launched ODIN against us you have been a number one priority!"Yelled Walker.

"Yes but one I had nothing to do with that as I was not yet the high leader at the time, and two you people act like you're invincible always ambushing others,but the moment you get ambushed yourself you have no way to fight back,it's an exploitable weakness that you people really need to fix."said Jaune in a calm tone.

"Don't think this is over Arc! There will always be someone after your head, and one day they're going to claim it!"Yelled Johnson as he was struggling to get up only to have a black boot press down on his back.

"Oh I know that, but all I have to say to them is."said Jaune as the transmission cut off.

Johnson turned his head as far as he could to face this attacker to see that it was the General himself standing on top of.

"Bring it on!"Said Jaune as he pulled out his desert eagle and quickly executed Johnson and everyone else in the room with a single gunshot wound to each of the Delta Force.

Moment later, dozens of Federation soldiers storm the room just as Jaune put his gun back in his holster.

"General, estas bien!"Asked One of the Federation commanders was wearing a beret similar to Jaune's.

"I'm fine Esteban, just had to deal with these idiotas personally."Responded Jaune as his soldiers inspected the bodies.

"Rourke was sure that the Americans were going to send the ghosts."

"Thief leader Elias is too busy leading the ghosts in their hunt for Rourke to be concerned with me, But just you wait, once LOKI is operational everything will go as the Federation has always dreamed of it going, and if that doesn't work I always have a back-up plan ready."said Jaune as he left the room with his soldiers, leaving the bodies of his would-be assassins where they landed

As Jaune was getting onto a helicopter outside to move to his base for the next four hours he pulled out a photo of him with his former friends who had their face is marked off with red x's, the only people who are not marked off were himself, Ruby, and Pyrrha.

'How many years has it been, I've lost track. Soon project Gusano will be ready, and when it is nothing will be able to stop me.'Thought Jaune as the helicopter took off into the night
