The elite force left the captured NOD Base at midnight,
The guard
crumpled to the ground and didn't move. The light of the burning
buildings light up his helmet, giving him the appearance of some
freak of nature.
"Nice work,
now, lend me your sniper rifle for a minute.
"Why?"
"Just do it, you'll see"
A moment passed,
ice ages came and went, planets formed and died.
"Look,
Resham, through the scope there, is it just me or is there a hole
in the wall which we could climb through?"
"Hmm..." he pondered, It's pretty uncovered there
though isn't?"
"uh-oh, the reinforcements are a bit early."
"oh shit."
"crapola indeed"
A mighty blast
from one of the Titan's main guns ripped through the night and
knocked out a bigger hole in the wall, the NOD Troops who had
been stationed in the barracks right behind the wall were thrown
up into the sky like discarded ping-pong balls, a cyborg the only
survivor, its bottom half ripped of and strewn elsewhere, crawled
along the ground, until it was crushed underneath the advancing
Titan's feet.
A noise came
over the PA System, "GDI troopers, it is useless, -----
never win against the might of NOD, give up..."
Another powerful
blast from a Titan and it was silenced. A NOD buggy zipped out
from behind the command centre and started ripping into one of
the Titans legs. A quick shot from Charlie wiped out both the
gunner and the driver, and the Titan's continued their steady
advance. An Artillery battery was spotted creepingalong the far
wall and i too was added to the death-list of this fairly quiet
advance. It appeared that boh sides had been wiped out in the
fighting, neither one the victor. Indeed, the Titans, after
ensuring that nearly all NOD machinery had been ruined, settled
themselves down for a quiet nights watch in the centre of the
ruined base.
Charlie and his
crack squad crept into the command centre of the wrecked base, a
thick electric coil swung like a dying electric python, spitting
sparks into the smoke filled air. And then they heard it, the
tired voice of the EVA system announcing a system overload, and
that unless someone activated the bypass, the entire command
centre would explode, evidently, the NOD Troops, didn't
understand what she meant, and so had left the system running.
Lewis saw on a
monitor, the systems rundown:
Radar: Minor
operations operational - Tracking offline
Battle Control: offline
Climate Control: Radar room operational, all other areas - safety cut-out - offline
Defense system:
Main Gate - offline
East wall - offline
West wall - offline
North wall - offline
EVA - emergency
reboot required
Advice: Initiate
reboot sequence and activate bypass circuits.
Then the monitor
exploded, sending lethal shards of glass into the acrid smoke.
Dean ran over to
Lewis, and felt for his pulse, feeling nothing, he shook him
violently, then started to try and restart his heart, when he
found the cause of death. A piece of glass the size of his foot
was wedged in Lewis's chest.
"Shit,
guys, we lost Lewis!", then, taking his dog tags, he walked
slowly over to the others, only to feel a bullet whizz past his
head.
