Summary:
Kid, Nikov and Radosław together join the fight against Islamic State's militants as the Vietnamese People's Armed Forces move to attack the remaining base of the terrorists and its ally Champa Shariah Jamaat. The fight intensifies as the Vietnamese sappers, its army and the Islamic State battle heavily. However, when the battle is indecisive and fear of the main perpetrator, Mouhamed Boukhar, is escaping to Cambodia where he has more followers than in Vietnam, a miracle happens.
05:35
Châu Đốc, Vietnam
As the Vietnamese army moved on, they used ships and vehicles, building bridges to prepare against the Islamic State militants. They were constructing a second temporary bridge, used only for armed movement.
"Tận hai cây cầu nổi có phải là cách hay không, Đại tá?" (Over two floating bridges, is it a good idea, Colonel?) A subordinate of the Colonel Mạc, Captain Trần Tiền Dũng, questioned its ability.
"Chúng ta không biết Nhà nước Hồi giáo đã bày ra cái gì, hay chúng mạnh ra làm sao. Vụ Long Xuyên chỉ là phần nhỏ của nó thôi." (We dunno what is the Islamic State planning, or their strength. The battle of Long Xuyên is just a small part of it.)
Colonel Mạc Đăng Hồng confirmed his belief that ISIS would fortify the position and waiting for the army, and that the Vietnamese army must conduct an immediate response, fast, quick and striking, to defeat the remnants of Islamic State.
And they had to do that. Once and for all.
…
But in the same position, Islamic State militants also made a prayer, when the sun first arose.
"Ahamidullah …"
The prayer was not long, but it was spiritual for those terrorists. They wanted to seize and to end the game in its way. They knew the upcoming fight was a must-fight, and they had to inflict damages as much as possible. Mouhamed Boukhar prayed and prayed, before taking arms to finalize the game.
Islamic State forces were being under siege. Unlike Cambodia, Vietnam People's Armed Forces were a tougher opponent. Mouhamed Boukhar was aware with it, and the fight for him, became a must. Shooting against the Vietnamese infidels turned out to be his last choice.
…
…
Meanwhile, Kid and Nikov listened to the Bible being read by the Archbishop Radosław Chiemycz.
"Gideon crafted the booty into an ephod and enshrined it in his home town of Ophrah. Then all of Israel committed spiritual adultery with it there, and it became a snare for Gideon and his household."
"Amen."
Kid and Nikov just looked into the soul of the belief of Catholicism, and they found that, Western Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy have more commons than they thought. Despite different Christian branches, Catholics found itself closer to Orthodox Christians, and Orthodox Christians might find common bond with Catholics.
"God will guide us to see him in the Heaven."
Kid, Nikov and Radosław together moved out and ready for the final clash to see who would win the last game. They had very little option outside a clash against the Islamic State. And so, they ran beyond, having been exhausted after a night and only took a four-hour sleep.
…
…
…
…
…
The boats carrying Vietnamese troops were on its way sailing beyond the Hau river of Mekong line. The military was on their hand, preparing against the Islamic State militants.
Islamic State militants, meanwhile, watched on from the trees. Their movement and its intention became clearer as they were still watching beyond and ongoing to do so.
…
Kid and Nikov, meanwhile, together sided with the Archbishop, prepared to fight for the last time in there. The final battle …
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Suddenly, a bazooka fired from elsewhere into the position of the Vietnamese troops sailing on boat. As Vietnamese troops were not aware, the explosion … occurred.
"BOOM!"
…
"Tàu của chúng ta bị tấn công!" (Our ships are under attack!)
Colonel Mạc was stunned to know that the Islamic State surprisingly opened fire first. As the first boat got burnt, he lost several men. By this point, the vehicles from the opposite bank had to cross on and opened fire. The whole city of Châu Đốc was completely shut down under martial law because of military presence. ISIS fighters chose to take the city as their shield.
The whole population, nearly 45% of the citizens in Châu Đốc were of Cham ethnicity, had to close their shops and stores. The battle began and troops firing a lot.
"Bắn chúng đi!" (Fire on them!)
The gun exchanges started as Islamic State fighters from Champa Shariah Jamaat's branch of the self-claimed Wilayat of Champa battled the army of the Vietnamese inside and outside. The Vietnamese army chose to besiege several mosques in the city, seeing them potentially being carried by Islamic State's fighters.
Mosques could be seen from it. And this time, the force of ISIS was much larger and greater than those in Long Xuyên. They battled very fierce. On the river, however, the government's force struggled harder due to more number of casualties.
…
…
Kid, Nikov and Radosław did not have time to enjoy. They sent their bullets to those ISIS fighters very quick, as they suddenly attacked from the back.
"Doki doki, Islamic State!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gun fires began as Kid and Nikov took down three to five ISIS fighters. The Archbishop took down two others, before seizing their ammunition. Then, they heard about the voice connection in English.
"Keep holding on. We will have to hold the position. Meanwhile, we should decapitate our hostage at 1200."
"The hostage!" Radosław was rampant: "Quick! They're planning for execution!"
Kid, Nikov and the Archbishop kept on their run after killing a number of ISIS fighters.
…
"ما زلنا في الانتظار. يجب أن نقاتل ونفتح طريق دماء لنا لكي نهرب إلى كمبوديا." (We are still on the hold. We must fight and open a blood road for us to escape to Cambodia.)
Mouhamed Boukhar ordered his followers to fight more, as he received from the message of another high-ranking senior of ISIS.
He read from it, and he was frustrated that the terrorist organization wanted him to wage total war there. He wanted to hold the time longer and used frictions among Cambodian-Vietnamese relations to fuel tensions, but the senior didn't listen. His son, Ahmed Akram Boukhar, a Jordanian national due to his marriage with a Jordanian woman from Irbid, also joined and asked his father.
"يا أبي ، علينا أن نسرع. الفيتناميون يخططون لتفجيرات السجاد لنا!" (Dad, we have to hurry. The Vietnamese are planning carpet bombings to us!)
"أحمد أكرم ، لن نذهب إلى أي مكان حتى يصل تعزيزنا من كمبوديا لكسر الحدود." (Ahmed Akram, we won't go anywhere until our reinforcement from Cambodia arrive to break the border.)
Ahmed Akram had followed the jihadist movement of his father Mouhamed but unlike his father, he could not speak Vietnamese in spite of his Cham origin. However, he frequently participated in the exiled Cham organizations opposing Vietnamese rule, until he was introduced by his father the jihadist path. Upon his path later, his mom divorced from Mouhamed, accusing his dad for radicalization and had urged Jordanian authorities to search for him. However, he had escaped from Jordan.
King Abdullah II, on a television talking with the people, interviewed his mom from a local TV in Amman. His mom cried on the TV after discovered that Mouhamed Boukhar was in Vietnam and was behind a series of bombings in Ho Chi Minh City. There, she called for her son to be released from "the evil father". Ahmed Akram Boukhar didn't know about it.
Since Jordan doesn't have an official embassy nor even consulate in Vietnam, the Jordanian Government had to seek support from Qatar, which has deeper official tie to Vietnam, to provide an alternative transit. Jordanian authorities had carried his mom together to Vietnam to receive permission from the Vietnamese authorities.
But that was somewhere else. Ahmed Akram Boukhar, like his father, wanted to fight against the Vietnamese army, ever since he was introduced by the story of Champa and Islam.
"Father … we must fight!"
"Son … I cannot let you down. Do you really prepare for it?"
"With the will of Allah, we won't back down."
"We have been surrounded by infidels. From the infidel King of the Hashemites, to those who slaughtered our people in this infidel land. I'm proud of your bravery, son."
"Inshallah!"
Then, he grabbed his gun and told that, he would lead the fight with many jihadist men.
…
The Vietnamese army faced more resistance than in Châu Đốc, largely due to larger muslim population, but thankfully they had closed the area. All people were ordered to evacuate as the government decided to bomb the place. Military jets were deployed, many were newly Sukhoi-based aircrafts, a symbol of Russian influence in the country.
U.S. Ambassador, watching from the far side, went wary to see deployment of plane fighters.
"This is a reckless decision, Colonel!"
"We have no choice. Islamic State's fighters there are among the largest. The province has long been seen as Vietnam's Mecca because of long historical presence of muslims in there. We don't know if there are any muslim collaborators or not."
While the jets were gonna be deployed, suddenly a man with a black kufi hat arrived, looked small and quite young, dark-skinned. And this man was …
"Xin phép Đại tá … chúng tôi ở đây là người Chăm, nhưng chúng tôi không gây thù chuốc oán." (Please Colonel … we're the Chams here, but we don't cause any trouble.)
"Anh là ai, và anh là người từ đâu?" (Who're you, and where are you from?)
"Tôi là Muamer Khalafa, người Chăm địa phương sống ở Châu Đốc. Tôi buôn bán hàng hóa trên chợ nổi. Một tháng trước, tôi thấy đối tượng mặc đồ đen tự xưng là Mouhamed đi qua đây. Hắn đi với một số người, tự xưng là đang tìm kiếm cấp phép xây nhà thờ Hồi giáo bên kia song Hậu." (My name is Muamer Khalafa, local Cham from Châu Đốc. I sell my stuffs in the floating market. A month ago, I saw a man in black claiming as Mouhamed passed by. He was escorted with some men, telling that was trying to gain approval to build a mosque on the other side of the Hậu river.)
"Mouhamed?" Colonel got amazed: "Vậy, anh có biết đặc điểm của hắn không?" (So, do you any characteristics of his?)
"Hắn hơi mập, bên cạnh đó có một người tự nhận mình là con ông ấy, nhưng cậu ấy không biết nói tiếng Việt. Ông Mouhamed đấy lại biết nói." (He is a little fast, alongside him had a man who claimed as his son, but he could not speak Vietnamese. Mr. Mouhamed guy did.)
"Ahmed Akram Boukhar!" Colonel Mạc spoke out: "Son of Mouhamed and a Jordanian woman."
"He is on the growing list of new threat, as he participated in a surprising attack in the city of Aqaba." José discovered out: "The shooting was among some of the shocking attacks in the peaceful Jordanian coastal city also a year ago. It happened on the same time the bombings of Sihanoukville occurred. The attack in Aqaba killed 15 people, including four foreigners."
"Jordan is an important of the United States in the War on Terror." Colonel Mạc pointed out: "So I think, as Ambassador of the U.S., you know about it?"
"Yes. And when the new of the Boukhar couple in Vietnam reached Jordan, his mom had urged the authorities to finalize the visa for her to go to Vietnam where she expressed her wish to see her son. But with Jordan and Vietnam do not have official embassies in respective capitals, the work is yet to be done." David Martz noted about it: "It'll be a little hard to solve."
"Not even that, Jordan has already listed Ahmed Akram Boukhar among top 10 emerging dangerous terrorists due to his records, previously had attacked a local police headquarter near Syria, killing five policemen." José Herracio became wary: "If he is in Vietnam right now, he must be arrested and handled to the Jordanian authorities."
"Shit … a couple of terrorists …" Colonel Mạc was shocked to realize father and son together on a terrorist cell. Then, he told others to hold Muamer Khalafa in, in order to allow more information. The Colonel felt that Muamer was not lying.
…
…
…
Ahmed Akram Boukhar led his man battling the Vietnamese troops and had inflicted several damages. But with the Vietnamese sappers joined the rank, the battle became tenser as the sappers surrounded the ground.
"مبعثر قواتنا ، وجعلها أصغر للتهرب من الحاكم. عجل!" (Scatter our forces, make it smaller to evade the governor. Hurry!)
But as saying, Vietnamese army is far from indiscipline like the Iraqis. The Vietnamese troops were better in organization, and they were fast to restore gun fire. But the numbers of casualties were horrendous for both sides.
"Chúng ta không thể chịu quá nhiều thương vong đến vậy được. Chúng đã hạ mười một người của ta rồi." (We cannot bear so many casualties like that. They have killed eleven of us.)
Even the Islamic State's fighters loyal to Wilayat of Champa suffered many casualties.
"حاول تقليل الأضرار في أسرع وقت ممكن. إنه كثير جدا! سننتقل أعمق إلى المعركة النهائية. بارك الله فينا." (Try to reduce the damages as soon as possible. It is too much! We will move deeper to the final battle. May Allah bless our destiny!)
36 ISIS militants were killed but it showed a large number of militants there. ISIS issued its followers to move out quietly from the city to move beyond the border. Knowing that the Cambodians are not good at guarding border, escaping to Cambodia was an option.
The thing was clear. ISIS militants were even numerous in there because they wanted to make a clear standoff. Led by Ahmed Akram Boukhar, the clash intensified.
…
…
…
…
From the other side of the bank, Mouhamed Boukhar decided to push the time earlier. He then came into the house, where he saw now an already fainted girl. He smiled hard.
"I will make you join heaven with us."
He soon prepared, bringing a knife from the Ottoman era, ready to take an execution planned by his own.
On the same time, Kid, Nikov and Radosław arrived. They discovered that ISIS was trying to break through the border throughout several secret tunnels and boats. Corruption in Cambodia is also a norm there as well, and they feared more than just the current Sino-Cambodian military drill, also occurred near the border.
"Cambodia is a very corrupt country. If they can route to Cambodia, they can gather back their force, since Chams in Cambodia are very hostile to Vietnam." Kid stated.
"Cham community in Cambodia are majority muslims. They, like the locals, develop a strong anti-Vietnamese sentiment. Meanwhile, Cambodian Government is corrupt and often being bought by those who can sue them money, the Chams have used it to drive away the accusation that several Cham officials in Cambodian Government had secretly assisted the bombings in Sihanoukville." The Archbishop explained: "If they can escape to Cambodia, they will be sheltered by corrupt Cambodian officials again, and they will rebuild their force. The Champa Shariah Jamaat, remember, has started in Cambodia. Its real remaining force is in this country."
"So, how does 'extermination' speak in Polish?"
"It means 'wytępienie'."
"Wytępienie. A very nice word, priest."
"We need to prevent another Neil Prakash case."
"Indeed."
They saw an ISIS base, now gathering a lot of followers with black costumes, shouting that the Islamic State wanted to do a ritual harmony, meant …
… decapitation.
Nikov, Kid and Radosław immediately pointed their pistols on the force and tried to take down the group and the militants. Kid and Nikov remembered back to the time in Syria.
"Like the old day in Palmyra."
ISIS … suddenly, had men from behind in prepare for possible ambush. When Nikov turned his back, he found that …
"(Kid, Radosław … wait!)"
ISIS militants had surrounded them, with guns. They were being surrounded in surprise, which Kid and Nikov saw it out of expectation. The Archbishop, for most part, could not think about that.
"Bitch … how …"
Right on the back, they were trapped. ISIS had their men ready to hunt down in order to prevent the governor from being captured. And then, one of them showed up.
"You fool Americans … you are gonna die."
As Kid and the priest were yet to believe it, Nikov surprisingly saw something … rounded and circle. And Nikov was …
…
…
…
…
…
In just a moment, Nikov changed. He, from a nice AK gunner, revealed who was he.
His mouth revealed, it was slice, dangerous, bloody and sharp. On his mouth even had fires, and the commander of ISIS force had yet to understand the real motivation of the Russian guy.
His hands, on the same time, grew claws, and he was …
"ARGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU …"
It was the sound of the wolf, but Nikov was not a normal wolf. He is … he is not a typical wolf people often talks about. He is …
His mouth burnt, and he …
…
…
…
… spread!
The fire flied from his mouth to those standing ISIS soldiers, and burning them in process. ISIS militants, having surrounded them, turned out become a possible target for Kid and Nikov, as he taken the shot. Kid and Archbishop were all shocked to see the unleash of Nikov's power.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH …"
ISIS militants yelled, they screamed like they could never believe it. They messed with wrong people, and Nikov added the flavor by the fire. He was not a normal wolf, he is a wolf who can change chilis to fire. And he burnt the opponents like roasting French fries.
The scream of Islamic State, however, frightened as they saw the fire occurred from behind. Mouhamed Boukhar was grounded by the shocking fire, he shouted: "مجنون! لا تقف هناك! يموت مثل الشهيد!" (Fool! Don't stand there! Die like shaheed!)
The point changed …
…
…
…
ISIS reinforcement was crossing on the sea and, as they were expected to aid the fighters being trapped in Châu Đốc, their arrival by boats were needed.
Yet, from the water …
"شيء غير طبيعي في النهر." (Something is not normal in the river.)
And then, a group of men showed up weapons. They were …
"Eat shits, you Daesh bastards!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gun fires turned the whole thing and two men were instrumental, turned out, belonged to …
… with the U.S. flag, bulletproof vest and strong appearance, indicating their experience.
The Navy SEALs.
"Well done, Salem 1."
"Roger that, Salem 10."
"Let's move. Islamic State must be deleted from this ground."
Navy SEALs entered in surprise from the water, having taken down so many terrorists and destroyed boats, and killed a commander in process. They moved very fast and waiting for more action from the terrorists, to finally unite with the remaining force in the city.
…
"Governor, we do not see reinforcements coming. What's wrong?"
"Ignore it!" Mouhamed Boukhar could not stand in form, because the losses were heavy now. But the lack of reinforcement proved detrimental for the army of the Islamic State.
Mouhamed was carrying the hostage, as she was starved and sometimes being abused by him. Mouhamed wanted to decapitate the hostage, in anger for her resistance against him.
The madness went insane.
Meanwhile, his men had to bear consequence. Kid, Nikov and Radosław joined the stage this time. Despite outnumbered, but an already-turned wolf Nikov was even more scary.
Having burnt a ground of forest, Nikov faced off many ISIS militants. Kid didn't have anything to fear. So did the Archbishop, in GROM uniform.
They stood together, three against many. But they were united, and more united by one.
"Bingo!"
"Kid … let's turn this thing around."
Kill became an option. Kid, Nikov and Archbishop put their hands, with guns and other weapons, except Nikov became a werewolf.
"Let's bang them, together."
"Deal!"
…
…
…
…
…
Châu Đốc, Vietnam
Strength of the battle between the trio Kid, Nikov and Archbishop against the whole Daesh force was not clear, but in the city, everything got tenser. Ahmed Akram Boukhar, known by non de guerre as Abu Abdulmalik Al-Champi, shouted:
"قف ساكنا ، واحارب! سنقاتل مثل الشهداء!" (Stand still, and fight! We will fight like martyrs!)
The market store was surrounded with soldiers firing from both sides. The Vietnamese surrounded the local market building, stormed it. Gun fires continued and it showed that the people were running away. ISIS sought to kill all hostages still running around, but paratroopers became a problem for the terrorists.
Fighters from Champa Shariah Jamaat battling insane as well. They thought they would go to heaven if they fought like martyrs, even though it was more like an empty promise.
"Abdullah!"
A man came with detonation, blew up a corner to allow those Daesh fighters to escape to another road as the firing continued.
…
"Đại tá, tên Muamer đấy nói thật. Hắn thực sự có gặp bọn chúng một tháng trước." (Colonel, that Muamer spoke the truth. He really met them a month ago.)
The situation in city was very complex. ISIS showed more discipline than expected, and the clash had not been clear. Although the government's army had slowly regained control in important grounds, it remained indecisive.
"Colonel, I urge you to pull out the full strength. Islamic State's militants seem to have known the threat of Vietnamese sappers and special commandos." Advisor Herracio addressed: "We cannot let too much damages anymore. Those Daesh only want dead."
"But not without using civilians. ISIS often puts civilians as its shield to sacrifice for. The terrorists like them are not just heartless, but pure evil and must be taken down." Colonel admitted: "But we can't risk our civilians to die for them."
"You mean …"
"We'll need to pressure further. And we'll win, no matter what."
…
With Kid, Nikov and Radosław being surrounded, again, they were not afraid. Simply, they were ready to be encircled. And they fought very well with their swords and attacked those Islamic State fighters.
Kid danced with his katana. The Archbishop fired his gun and Nikov the werewolf bit a lot of ISIS fighters. Daesh force got burnt due to strong resistance from the trio. Kid killed a lot, and so were the Archbishop and Nikov.
"Dora-nikov, you did well, man."
Nikov just said little. He and his claws continued to smash. Blood were everywhere, as Kid switched between gun and katana to fight against Islamic State fighters. Jihadists also got butchered by the strong attacks from Archbishop Radosław Chiemycz. Experience from the former GROM paratrooper became very useful once again.
"Sounds like back in Iraq but not with sand."
"Hahahahaha …"
However, the Archbishop soon reminded something …
"The hostage! Do you know where is she?"
…
Meanwhile, remaining Islamic State militants, including Mouhamed Boukhar, they pointed their gun to the sky and Boukhar wanted to decapitate the hostage.
He carried his Ottoman sword, putting near the river the hostage and she was scared: "What do you want?"
"No problem … dear." Mouhamed Boukhar smiled, as he stood on, and he then prayed on the sky, very traditional way of the Islamic State fighters.
"We will speak to the mighty Allah … we come with the ritual of the greatness … may you guide us … to victory and to fight for the glory of the Caliphate. So, please … take this gift from us."
He raised his sword, and he shouted: "Takbir!"
"Allahu Akbar!"
"Takbir!"
"Allahu Akbar!"
"TAKBIR!"
"ALLAHU AKBAR!"
"TAKBIR!"
"ALLAHU AKBAR!"
He was raising up his sword, ready to behead the victim, whom he finally knew the name …
"You reject our ideology, so this is your paying of life … Ran Mitake."
But, as he was on the route to do so, suddenly …
…
…
"Bang!"
A bullet from elsewhere hit to the right hand which was taking the Ottoman sword. He screamed like he could not believe it, someone knew he was on the bank of the Hậu river.
"NO! THEY'RE …"
A group of military men came up from the other side of the jungle, moved on. Meanwhile, the other members of the troops also appeared. Carrying an American flag and distinctive bulletproof vests, alongside military insigna, they were …
"الكفار الأمريكيون! اقتلهم! اغتنموا حياتهم!" (American infidels! Kill them! Seize their life!)
…
"Salem 7, reported! We have found the target, Abu Mohammed Al-Champi, or Mouhamed Boukhar. Ready to take them down."
"Do it, Salem 3."
Team Salem of the U.S. Navy SEAL had reached the ground and gun fire started. But since most Islamic State's militants were shocked, they were unable to respond and many were killed. The SEAL Team had arrived, while reporting to their commander, a woman, who was on board of U.S.S. Ronald Reagan.
"Madam Jane, it is done. We've reached the target."
"Very good, guys. Remember, no mercy. Daesh must be exterminated."
Jane Sánchez, who took charge of the operation in collaboration with the Vietnamese, was the head of the Salem Team, albeit her role was not in combat like her male counterparts. She was on the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan when the operation began. She is now 50, but still very bright. Her SEAL Team had done it again.
Her team landed from the helicopters and they managed to reach it without being watched. As ISIS was busy fighting Vietnamese army, SEALs became instrumental key to end the fight.
The gun fires were not fast, but at least it forced Mouhamed Boukhar to escape. He tried to return to Cambodia, where the real strength of Champa Shariah Jamaat lied within, hoping to rebuild it back. He deserted from the hostage which he failed to decapitate.
A SEAL soldier saw it.
"Salem 9 report, the target is escaping! Do we need to chase him?"
"Well … the Vietnamese said their jets had reached the city. They had also identified the location of Mouhamed Boukhar."
"But can they hit him? Let me chase him and provide them his location."
"Salem 6, it is quite risky."
"But it is a must, Salem 9. Over."
Salem 6, or Jonathan Leyva, rushed himself to chase the dangerous Iraqi-born Cham terrorist Mouhamed Boukhar, who chose to escape from the SEALs. The Sukhoi jets from the air, meanwhile, had arrived.
…
Vietnamese Air Force was deployed and finally used to shoot down many notorious Islamic State's fighters by MGs. Ahmed Akram Boukhar, on the run, hid in a Cham house, hoping to evade capture from the locals.
"Abdulmalik, we must hide."
They hid in a Cham store, which was a store where managed by a local Imam's wife, hence the Arabic words staying alongside Vietnamese words. Ahmed Akram Boukhar tried to see if there were anything threatening against.
Unknown best, something was from behind.
…
…
A girl, covering her face in white hijab, quite in the age of an educated university student, carried a basketball bat and looked to Ahmed Akram Boukhar. As Ahmed and his henchman, a Chinese national, were on, he did not know it.
She waged her bat and …
…
…
"BANG!"
What a strike.
It hit the head of Ahmed Akram Boukhar, who was not aware with it, and she just took down a notorious and dangerous jihadist being under warning by Jordan and the United States. The Chinese jihadist got furious, he raised his knife: "Fuck … whore …"
But he was shot down from behind, much in the fear of the girl. Then, the shop was stormed by the police and army troopers. She fell to the ground, with her bat filled with blood, became very stranded and afraid to face the military force.
"Xin đừng hại tôi … Tôi là Ayesha Amin … tôi mới tốt nghiệp đại học ở Vũng Tàu và về đây làm marketing …" (Please don't hurt me … I am Ayesha Amin … I just graduate college in Vũng Tàu and coming here do marketing …)
"Cô Ayesha, chúng tôi không đụng vào cô. Chúng tôi kiểm tra xem còn tên khủng bố nào không." (Miss Ayesha, we don't touch on you. We check out if there are any terrorists remaining.)
The police and army checked two bodies, both under black costumes, and they concluded that one was still alive. The man whom Ayesha hit him with her bat, was not dead but just unconscious. The other was killed by a gun fire. From the breath of the alive, they discovered who they're looking for.
"Báo cáo Đại tá rằng, tên Ahmed Akram Boukhar, phần tử khủng bố người Jordan, vẫn còn sống và đã bị bắt giữ." (Report to Colonel, Ahmed Akram Boukhar, the Jordanian terrorist, is still alive and has been taken captive.)
…
In the tent nearby, the Colonel Mạc Đăng Hồng received news.
"Đại tá, con trai của Mouhamed Boukhar, Ahmed Akram Boukhar, đã bị bắt sống!" (Colonel, son of Mouhamed Boukhar, Ahmed Akram Boukhar, has been taken alive.)
This was considered as a big victory, even though they had yet to take down Mouhamed Boukhar, but the son's capture was significant. Since he was instrumental on rallying terrorists, alongside Fauzi Abdel Galam and his dad, it was a great victory of the Vietnamese army.
"Well done. Now I see why Vietnamese army is very well-perceived." U.S. Ambassador David Martz gave praise: "Congratulations Colonel. The extradition will be done as usual."
"Thank you Ambassador." The Colonel bowed his head down, he could not believe it, and breathed. His mouth changed smiling, as it was … to be. He felt it had no pressure anymore.
In this moment, he ordered the release of Muamer Khalafa and allowed him to go.
…
Kid and Nikov, alongside the Polish Archbishop, searched on everything and seized several files. Kid looked on the list, written in English, and …
"Khatag Safawi. The name is there."
"(Khatag Safawi! Now we shall know where is Taha.)"
They used these sources, taken photos and sent to Anthony Concong, asking him to figure the location of Khatag Safawi, who was believed to have tie with Taha Belal Abdallah Al-Shami, as Khatag Safawi had been another important key figure alongside Taha and the Saudi millionaire Ahmed Mohamad Al-Salih.
"Khatag … you won't escape this time. And we'll know."
…
ISIS was completely demoralized there and they had been on the run to retreat to the river. But the Sukhoi jet of Vietnamese army was quick to give a bomb.
"Ăn đạn bọn tao đi, lũ Nhà nước Hồi giáo chó chết!" (Eat my shits, you Islamic State dogs!)
Two bombs dropped as it blew up, killing over 60 militants trying to escape by boats and canoes. Another Sukhoi was flying in the Châu Đốc river, a part of Hậu river, where a SEAL soldier chasing the dangerous Mouhamed Boukhar trying to flee to Cambodia.
Mouhamed Boukhar, meanwhile, thought that he was safe.
"Hahaha … so the Vietnamese cowards … they have been exhausted. I'll soon return to Cambodia … my real strength … Hahahahaha …"
Meanwhile, the SEAL soldier from behind suddenly shot from the back.
"Bang!"
It hit to the left foot of Mouhamed. The fat terrorist, who revealed his real face as a round-face, orange beard and very alcoholic, looked like a retarded cleric. He shouted after the gun fire: "AHHHHHHHHH …"
Then, a SEAL soldier arrived. It was …
And Mouhamed …
"Americans … you bastard … you dare to fight the Caliphate?"
"No one fights the Caliphate. The Caliphate brought itself in scrutiny." It was Jonathan Leyva, or Salem 6, putting a chip which was used to identify a person. He just laughed: "Enjoy carpet bombings, son of a bitch."
"You …" Mouhamed could not believe it, as Jonathan placed the chip on the bag of him and quietly shot another foot, the right one, of Mouhamed. Despite Mouhamed's objection, Jonathan departed without a word.
…
…
…
A minute later, the Sukhoi jet dropped another bomb into Mouhamed's position in the jungle. As he saw it, he realized … it was his fate.
"Allah … Allah … ALLAHU AKBAR … ALLAHU AKBAR … ALLAHU AKBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR …"
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
On the fire, the shouting of "Allahu Akbar" spread into the jungle of southern Vietnam, like something could never go beyond.
…
…
12:00
Châu Đốc, Vietnam
The city was finally freed and no more Islamic State's militants. But casualties were high, with over 400 being killed. The Vietnamese lost 25. The remaining was arrested, including vice hand of Ahmed Akram Boukhar, Abdelilah Ali Shaamarka, a Somali.
The war ended in victorious and ISIS militants were all killed there, cleansed out the remnants of Daesh terrorism in southern Vietnam. Kid and Nikov carried information of Khatag Safawi, and finally burnt the papers not needed.
And so, the battle … ended. The Polish Archbishop, in turn, saw the hostage … she was fainted, but rescued …
"SEAL Team!"
The SEAL Team!
The United States' Navy SEAL had arrived on time and saved the hostage, and finally crushed the base of Champa Shariah Jamaat and its ISIS allies. They handed Ran Mitake to Radosław Chiemycz, and as a gesture, Chiemycz bowed down. However, SEAL soldiers kneeled to the Archbishop, amazed to see a former Iraq War veteran continued his fight for justice while still retaining the soul of a Catholic priest.
A grateful attitude, the Polish Archbishop thanked those SEAL soldiers, for saving the life, blessed by the will of God. Although the priest could not kill Mouhamed, it was a success.
His Polish flag badge would remain a symbol of a brave Pole, even though he traveled around the world to become a priest and trying to give up the bloody life.
And the peace was finally restored, before 72 hours. It … was done …

Ho Chi Minh City
Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon
Himari Uehara, alongside friends who traveled to Ho Chi Minh City, was shocked to see that the Polish Archbishop, Radosław Chiemycz, carried back alive their friend, Ran Mitake, the head of the band group. Ran could not hold her tears after being reunited.
Tymoteusz Barczewski, who had taken care to Himari and her friends later, wearing glasses, came out and hugged, showing symbol that, the hero had returned.
"Radosław. Welcome back, brother."
"Ty też, Tymoteusz." (So do you, Tymoteusz.)
"Skończyło się. Daesh został zmiażdżony. Wszystko jest teraz bezpieczne." (It has ended. Daesh has been crushed. Everything is safe now.)

Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport
Ahmed Akram Boukhar, now revealed to be long haired, face in burden, orange-haired, had been escorted by the Vietnamese authorities to the military carrier by many members of the army and special forces. Four men escorted the Jordanian terrorist and a woman was surprised to see her son back.
"أحمد أكرم يا ابني العزيز." (Ahmed Akram, my dear son.)
The voice had never changed, though the age of the mother was getting older. As such, Ahmed Akram was … touched.
"أمي؟ أنا … لا أعرف … أنت هنا. أمي! أمي!" (Mom? I ... I don't know ... you're here. Mom! Mom!)
He was wearing a typical green-white jersey for prisoners in Vietnam, and under jurisdiction, was now being handled to the Jordanian authorities, who was also standing on the airport. Those beret soldiers with military uniform carrying Jordanian flags, distinguished themselves from the Vietnamese counterparts, being more Russian-influenced than the Jordanians. A tall, charming and yellow-haired Vietnamese man stood out facing a big, purple-haired man wearing green beret.
"Major Trần Văn Tiểu, special force of the Vietnamese intelligence and anti-terrorist sapper squadron."
"Major Abdullah Al-Wasif, Jordanian counter-terrorist center and oversea operation."
"From now on, he's yours."
"Thank you. The King has sent his grateful to the Vietnamese for their supporting effort to capture Ahmed Akram Boukhar."
The Jordanian Major gave his Vietnamese counterpart a golden coin, symbol of the old Arab Caliphates and its rich history. In the same manner of polite, the Vietnamese Major represented the smaller version of Vietnamese bronze drums, a legacy of ancient Vietnamese civilization, to the Jordanian counterpart.
As Ahmed Akram had been taken custody, it was finally, the end. And that was the end …

Few days later
Vũng Tàu, Vietnam
Kid and Nikov enjoyed a holiday in this city alongside Radosław Chiemycz and Tymoteusz Barczewski, albeit …
"We are sitting in the largest Jesus statue in the whole Asian continent."
Yeah, the statue Christ of Vũng Tàu was built during the South Vietnam era, and had remained to this day. The Polish Archbishop had yet to clear, how could a communist state host the largest Christ statue in there.
"I feel irony." Tymoteusz started: "A communist state has the largest Jesus statue, I am out of word."
"Jesus Christ …" Kid looked on, as both were standing around, and … he wondered if this were Brazil or what.
"I hope not. But Brazil is even more hilarious than." Radosław mocked.
"Maybe, Jesus has chosen this land. Since 16th century, Christianity has been a part of Vietnamese culture. The Nguyễn, for three centuries until the reign of Minh Mạng, were tolerant to Christians. Western historians see the country in just a communist way, fail to see another side of it." Kid told: "Lord, be with us. Amen."
"You know what?" Tymoteusz smiled: "A Polish Jesuit, Wojciech Męciński, had written about Vietnam on his road at 17th century. He told Vietnam on his memoir, a treasury of land, land of tolerant and friendliness, yet brave and determined people. They used to scare the Chinese, the major power of Asia."
"He wrote that?" Kid asked: "Seriously, as an American, I don't know much."
"If Vietnam can get rid the communists, the country will be even more prosperous." Radosław expressed: "I have loved this country since I moved here as a Catholic Jesuit. It's like the second home for me."
"As told by Joseph de Maistre, 'every nation gets the government it deserves'." Kid looked up: "Maybe, we will see the future of this land."
"Want some ice cream, guys?" Tymoteusz asked for good breath: "Ice cream in Vietnam is very cheap."
"Hehehe … nail it." Kid laughed: "Let's take good taste today."
"Let's go."
The four together shared a good time in the city of Vũng Tàu, under the Christ statue. And they kept discussing about it, as they would like to have something more about.

Of course, Kid and Nikov did not forget to find Taha, and the search of Khatag Safawi, would be very needed. But now, just enjoy a good time to thank Jesus.
