"We are not done yet, one more chapter before all out action...the enemy of my enemy is my friend and this is a fight Wolf may not be able to face alone"
Chapter 124: The Resistance
At the foot of the mountain of Indonesia Punished Wolf followed the group of soldiers which he encountered back in the middle of the forest, after battling a tank single handily the leader of the Resistance called Roberto knew that having a solider like Wolf could help them win back their home.
The Resistance with Wolf climbed up a path taken them towards a large cave which lucky enough wasn't used by Cemetery Wind or Phantom's own group, Wolf and the Resistance walked for a few more minutes and soon they finally came to the entrance of the cave which was covered by leaves and branches.
Pushing the leaves and branches aside the group stepped through and Wolf followed through and all he could do was look at the site of it.
The site was massive and had everything a small Resistance group would need, there was a armoury, an intel area and of course an operations table right in the middle of the cave while the intel and weapons areas where spread about.
Slowly taking a few steps into the cave the soldiers that were in the cave stopped working as they noticed him coming in behind their fellow soldiers and leader, the cave fell silent as Wolf followed the soldiers in and he could see the soldiers had their weapons ready.
"Stand down, he's on our side" Roberto stated and soon all the Resistance soldiers lowered their weapons as Roberto went to the Operations Table along with Wolf.
Taking in the sight before him, he couldnt help but feel impressed with what he was seeing as this group was more organised then any other cell he faced in the past.
"Welcome to The Resistance" Roberto stated as he walked around the table as he looked at Wolf. "We have a strong group but with those bastards running that damn base in the mountains...it makes us look like a bunch of kids with guns".
"What can you tell me about that base? Who ran it before Cemetery Wind got their hands on it?" Wolf asked as he place his hands on the table.
"No one" Roberto shook his head. "It was a US base which was meant to keep the people here protected, but the project was abandoned for some unknown reasons. We went up there to see if we could make something out of it but the whole base was sealed tight, code activated doors all the high tech stuff...to us it was just a pile of scrap".
"So how did Cemetery Wind get into it, if it was US they shouldnt have been able to get into it" Wolf frowned.
"Well they did and now they are making threats and killing anyone who gets close, lucky enough this cave has kept us covered...for how long we dont know" Roberto then leaned forward placing his hands on the table. "But with you, I think we can turn the tide".
Wolf looked around and saw a few soldiers that were with him during that fight with the tank. "I got to admit for a bunch of ordinary people you know how to handle weapons".
Roberto chuckled and looked at the soldiers around them "Most of us were hunters, tried to keep the law in our hands. I was what you call a bounty hunter, these lands had some of the most monstrous people that needed to be put down. It was the only way to provide for my son".
Wolf continued to look at the soliders and Roberto looked at him. "Family is all I have, keeps me fighting. What about you? you have family?".
A few seconds past and Wolf slowly looked to Roberto "Yeah...used to" His voice was nothing but a whisper and he looked down at the map on the table and just by his voice Roberto knew it was a tragic story.
"I'm sorry...did mean to bring those memories up" Roberto quietly spoke back and Wolf just looked at him "Dont worry about, at least they are at peace now".
Roberto nodded "So, you willing to help us take these bastards down?".
Wolf looked around again and saw a few soldiers looking at him still a little edgy but not in a hostile way, mostly just cautious of the new face. Wolf knew this mission may be too much for him and Quiet alone so looking back at Roberto who was waiting for an answer.
"There is an old saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend" Wolf stated.
Roberto smiled and the two reached out and shook hands agreeing to work together and the two finally looked down at the map.
"As far as we can tell that pathway guarded by Anti Air Emplacements is the easiest way up the mountain, sadly the enemy knew it too...I think you radioed someone about that didnt you?" Roberto questioned.
Wolf pulled out his idroid and presented a hologram of Quiet's face to him "Yeah she's my partner on this operation, she's one of the best we have and at this moment she is dealing with the Anti Airs".
"Good to know, we have tried every tactic to advance but nothing seemed to work...we lost more men to those bastards, we keep this up we may lose more" Roberto revealed as they look at the map of the mountain.
Wolf's idroid beeped and he quickly pulled out the device and saw a notification from Quiet stated she successfully armed the Anti Air, knowing that issue was now sorted he looked around at the soldiers working away sorting out plans and weapons and he noticed a few standing out from the rest. "Who are your best soldiers?".
Roberto looked up at Wolf "You got a plan?". Wolf looked back at him and Roberto saw the gears turning in his mind. "I think I do, my partner just contacted me, she managed to secure the Anti Air".
This new really surprised Roberto. "That quick? we tried to take them down countless times, one woman took them down that easily?".
Wolf gave a slow nod "She is no ordinary woman, anyway who are your best soldiers?".
Roberto looked to the left of him and there were a few soldiers, one woman and two guys. "Fury, Shepard, Lawson, come over here!".
The three looked over to the table and soon made their way over to it and Wolf examined each of them as they approached the table, Roberto stood next to them and presented them.
He presented the woman "This is Fury, best at getting near targets without being seen and a brilliant sharp shooter".
Wolf looked at the woman who was in her mid thirties and was Caucasian with black long hair tied up in a pony tail and with a strand of hair hanging loose over her right eye and she wore a black T Shirt, grey camouflage trousers along with combat boots, wearing a bag over her back and a rifle in hand it looked like she just came back from recon.
Roberto then pointed to the man next to her "This is Shepard, our best man when it comes to taking enemies head on. His kill count is through the roof and is very passionate about protecting his home.
Shepard had short brown hair but was wearing a cap backwards and he had a massive beard, out of the three he was extremely build and looked like he had seen many battles. He wore a torn red T-Shirt along with grown trousers and combat boots, he was wielding a shotgun along with a sub machine gun on his hip.
Roberto then came around to the last man "And this is Lawson, our best man in intel. He knows all parts of the enemy base in the mountain and if it wasnt for him we would never have found that hidden passage...hell he found this cave for us when those bastards decide to take over the island".
Lawson was of Japanese decent and was at least in his early forties, he was well built and looked great for his age and on his back was a sniper rifle and in his hand was a device with possible intel.
Wolf came around the table and shook all their hands and Fury's eyes caught his cybernetic arm. "Looks like you have a story to tell".
He looked down at his Cybernetic Arm after he shook her hand and he sighed. "Yeah...one that will never heal..".
"I heard about that Tank you took out on your own, gotta admit that's pretty impressive" Shepard expressed.
Wolf looked to Shepard "Everything can be beaten, just got to know exactly where to hit".
Instead of speaking, Lawson did some sign language and Wolf frowned at him "Lawson cant speak?".
Roberto sighed. "In the first few weeks of the attack Lawson got tortured by those bastards before they took the mountain, didnt even ask for information. The sick bastards did it for fun and in the end they cut his tongue out".
"Jesus, sorry bout that" Wolf offered his support but Lawson waved his hand stating its nothing.
"Anyway these three are the best, what are you planning?" Roberto asked and then Wolf went back to the table to look at the map and Roberto, Lawson, Fury and Shepard came around the table with him.
"You said that path where the Anti Airs are placed is the easiest way up to the mountain base right?" Wolf looked at Roberto and the three soldiers.
"Thats right" Roberto nodded.
"My plan is to take your best soldiers and make our way up that path, we all know there will be more defences up that path there is no way they would just have Anti Airs protecting that easy road...so I say me, Shepard, Lawson and Fury take this road and take on what ever is up there" Wolf then looked at the mountain and soon spotted another path which would take the longest but would possibly be the safest.
He pointed at the path "You and the rest of your men take the longest path, we will keep the heat on us while you make your way up the mountain".
Shepard looked down at the map and imagined the plan in his head "That could work..risky but if the eyes are on us...that gives you a chance to get under their noses".
Fury pointed at the longest path up the mountain. "That path is pretty steep, you should use our horses to get up there quickly".
Lawson did some sign language to Wolf and he understood what he was saying. "Good idea, we can keep the Resistance up to date on any defences...the only question is what will we find once we are inside the base".
"We dont know what they have but it was massive, when they took over the base we saw multiple choppers carrying something which looked like a giant, it was covered by a huge cloth but it was massive...enough to give children nightmares for the rest of their lives". Roberto stated and Wolf looked at him with a frown.
"A giant..." Wolf then looked back at the map. "Could it be...".
Fury frowned at Wolf "Do you know something?". Wolf looked at her "I have a feeling what it could be, but I need more infomation...it could be a Metal Gear".
Shepard looked confused "A what?".
"A Metal Gear, a walking bipedal weapon able to launch a nuke anywhere in the world...its the worlds greatest threat...if what they have up there is indeed a Metal Gear...then you are going up against a monster" Wolf revealed and the group looked at each other.
"My Mercenary group is currently making plans to deal with it, if we act fast and do half the work we can allow my group to do the rest...timing is everything. Its now or never". Wolf explained.
The three soldiers looked at each other and determination never left their faces, they looked to Roberto and after a few moments he nodded and looked at Wolf. "Lets do this".
"Come with me" Fury ordered Wolf and he with Shepard and Lawson marched towards the armoury to suit up, minutes passed and as Wolf, Fury, Shepard and Lawson kitted up ready to begin their mission all Wolf could do was think of what Flaming Buffalo once told him when they were getting ready to take on Operation Peace Walker, her voice echoed in his mind.
"We are dogs of war, elite soldiers...trained to strike our enemies before they know we exist"
Wolf's heart raced hearing her voice as he checked over his weapon.
"Death stalks us, but we survive...overcoming every obstacle, never surrendering"
His body was fuelled by determination as he aimed down the sights of his rifle as the other soldiers did the same.
"And with my brothers and sisters by my side there is no fight we fear, we are soldiers...so when they take the life of our brothers..sisters. When they provoke us..it doesnt matter how powerful our enemies are".
Wolf finally locked and loaded his weapon and looked to Shepard, Fury and Lawson who all turned to him ready to begin and so was he. Wolf gave a small nod and he turned with his new soldiers by side and marched out determined to free Indonesia, and Wolf was determined to save Diamond Dogs from destruction.
"We will burn their world to the ground"Flaming Buffalo's voice slowly faded and Wolf was ready...ready to do what ever it takes.
"Wolf has new allies and with his new team he heads up to the mountain ready to face the fire with Fury, Lawson and Shepard while the rest of the Resistance make their way up the mountain at the back of the base, War...is about to begin"
