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.
