Well, I don't have many reviews yet, but hopefully soon you will review. Yes, you. The one reading this. There will be action this chapter, and lots of it.
Link's eyelids fluttered, and he opened them to a strange new environment. For a second he panicked, unsure of where he was. Then he saw the Desert Eagles by the bed and remembered where he was and what he had to do.
Let's see if I can kill some uglies today.
Since no one had actually come up with a name for the invading creatures, Link simply called them uglies. They had the basic outline of a human, but had no clothes. They had rough, almost scaly skin that was stronger than aluminum. They were normally armed with an AK-47 assault rifle, but if they got close they would cut you up with the razor sharp claw on their left hand.
Link began rummaging throughout the medium sized house looking for anything that could communicate with the outside……..or maybe the uglies, he thought with a wry smile. He saw a phone and lifted it off of its receiver.
Damn, phone's dead. That made sense to Link, for Ganon wouldn't want spies telling everyone outside what he was doing.
Link left another room that had one of the largest entertainment centers he had ever seen, and he resisted the urge to see if anything was on that didn't involve the war going on outside.
Link came to the end of the downstairs hall and saw a large pile of boxes. He lifted up a box that was labeled 'clothes'. Behind the box he saw a door that was hidden. He cleared away the boxes and opened the door.
Lying behind the door was a room full of things like computers and high tech equipment.
Hell yes! Link thought. He spotted a high encryption radio and turned it on. He started to pick up a radio station.
"The monsters seem to be unending. They just keep coming and coming with no visible source." Someone stated. From what Link heard, he sounded like a professor or something.
"Do you believe this is the end of the world Dr. Baldeur?" another voice stated.
"I do not believe this is the end of the world. If these monsters push the governments too far, then they will use their greatest weapons, like a cornered animal." Dr. Baldeur said.
"You mean nuclear weapons?" the reporter asked.
"Yes. But, I do not believe that this will happen. From studying the corpses we have so far, these creatures cannot reproduce in any way. They do not even urinate. The only effect they have on their environment is its destruction. So, eventually these things have to become extinct or so scarce that they have no effect." The Dr. said.
"Thank you Dr."
"You are quite welcome."
"Now for more complete coverage of the battles raging on in America. John, what's going on in Hyrule today."
The man apparently named John began "Well here with me I have General Garrison of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. We are currently at Fort Bragg, home of the Delta Force. General, what can you tell us about the progress of our boys?" John asked.
"The enemy we are fighting is nothing like we have ever faced before. He does not tire, even under the stress of battle, he is driven by the blood of his prey, and he is seemingly endless. However, we are making great progress. We have established firm lines from North Dakota all the way down through Texas, and the enemy seems to be running out of manpower." The general stated.
Link listened to the news reporters ramble on about the same thing and after awhile, he changed the frequency and began to here continuous beeps. Morse code? He thought.
After listening to it for awhile he determined that it was not Morse code. Suddenly, he began to hear a rumbling noise. He went to another bedroom and very carefully peered through the window. Tanks. He saw maybe eight to ten tanks rolling by the house. Following it were two trucks full of uglies. He waited until they had passed and exhaled loudly in relief.
Where were they headed? He asked himself. He decided to find out. He gathered together his AR-15, strapped on his two Desert Eagles, got his Barrett loaded and ready, and hopped in the Mustang to follow the tanks.
He followed them for about twenty minutes, and then the tanks stopped on top of a hill overlooking a base. An Army base. Oh, Shit. Link got out of the car and set up the Barrett, using the scope to see what was going on. Uglies began pouring out of the trucks, and setting up machine guns and mortars. I have to act now, Link thought. He lined up the crosshairs where the fuel tank would be on the behemoths 200 yards in front of him.
A thunderous boom echoed across the countryside, and all the uglies jumped in shock and fright. The massive .50 cal BMG made its mark as the tank erupted in a mass of flames. Link took little time to acknowledge his success as he lined up another target. This time it was one of the troop transport trucks. It should have a pretty big tank of gas. Link thought, smirking to himself. He squeezed the trigger.
Another ear-splitting boom rocked the plains, sending uglies running everywhere, frantically trying to find the source of the sniper. Half of the uglies were taken down as the truck blew up and sent shrapnel in all directions. Link slowly and calmly began to take down the tanks in the same manner. Soon, only a handful of uglies were left. This ought to be fun.
Link let them run around like chickens with their heads cut off. He began to reload the massive weapon. When he was ready to rock 'n roll again, he began to shoot the infantry one by one. After the last ugly had gone down, Link surveyed the damage. Nine tanks, two trucks, and a handful of infantry had gone down by his hands. Not bad for my first day of work.
By now the Army base had troops up on the hill, scratching their heads about the carnage they saw. I'd better head back and set up some kind of defense at my house. With that, he headed back in his car, wondering what awaits him tomorrow.
They were now on their way. Ten fully armed and ready to rock Seals were on their way to meet their future leader. I hope. Aria thought as the Black Hawk neared its drop-off point. The chopper slowed to a hover right above the Landing Zone, or LZ.
The troops on board were Austin Connely, the team's demolitions expert, Henry Vegas, one of the two heavy machine gunners, Josh Von, an M4 specialist, Grady Tomilson, M4 specialist and squad two leader, Dan Moran, the team's corpsmen (medic), Matt Hanec, the sniper, Justin Sanchez, M4 specialist, Kyle Romero, the other heavy machine gunner, Frank Kose, M4 specialist, and Myself, M4 specialist, squad one leader, and Team 1 leader.
Two ropes were thrown out of either side of the chopper and in less than ten seconds all of the team was on the ground, securing the perimeter.
"Perimeter secured." Tomilson whispered into his comm.
"Roger, proceed forward 2-5." Aria replied.
"Copy, proceeding forward."
The two squads continued forward until they came to an intersection in the city. Aria signaled for Tomilson.
"Yeah?" Tomilson asked as he neared her position.
"There are birds circling over that burnt out office building, keep your eyes peeled."
"Yes sir." He responded and returned to his squad's position to relay the news.
As the team neared the suspected building, all hell broke loose.
Shots began pouring in from all directions, muffling any hope for the teams to communicate effectively.
Vegas and most of the team responded by opening fire on anything that moved.
Uglies began dropping like flies as countless numbers were picked off by the accurate fire of the Seals.
"Fall back, fall back!" Aria screamed frantically, trying to get her team to a better position. One by one, her team began peeling themselves from their positions and running towards the building that the others had gathered at.
"Set up a perimeter around this building, and don't give the bastards a chance." Tomilson ordered with a grin. His squad suddenly turned their attention on the uglies who had just come from a building across the street.
Romero chewed through the uglies and continued to kill any in range, while the others got to places where they could defend themselves.
Aria and her squad of five had secured the building right next to Tomilson, and were laying waste to all the uglies they could find. Aria was near the corner of the building, and saw an ugly raise his AK-47. That was the last thing he ever did, because two 5.56mm bullets pierced his skull at that moment, sending brain fragments everywhere.
She looked to her left just in time to see Romero cream a handful of uglies by himself, the chatter of his M249 machine gun a sudden comfort for Aria.
Minutes flew by as what seemed like seconds, and soon, the chaos had subsided, and the team was now peering through their night vision goggles, or NVG's, looking for anything that could pose a possible threat.
"All units report in." Aria tensed, wondering about any casualties. She breathed a sigh of relief as nine troops checked in, telling her that she had had no casualties.
"We have a good vantage point from here, so this is where we stay for the night. Everyone stay awake, we don't want these guys to catch us with our thumbs up our butts." No sooner had she said this than another group of uglies began attacking.
It's gonna be a long night.
A lot more action in that one, and more to come. You like? You don't like? Either way please review!
