Quote from WWE Here comes the Pain!:
"He's done it! Stone Cold is down! Juuanna gou has won the title! What a way to end this Wrestlemania!"

Now everyone is after a piece of me!

Red Fire

"So you're awake, It's about time" A voice said in the darkness as Romanov rubbed his eyes. He noticed bandages on his arm where he had been stabbed by Niko and several new bandages. He looked over and saw the legs of another man.
"What happened?" Romanov asked.
"Damned if I know, they dragged you in here two days ago and left you." The man said, "You've been asleep for the past two days. It's not often they bandage a prisoners wounds before throwing them in here"
"I was out two days?" Romanov said, sitting up and feeling the stiffness that comes with being asleep and laying down for a long time, "How long have you been here?"
"Four years, give or take a month" The man said, "Your uniform is Red Fire, I thought they were wiped out in the first days of the war."
"I was commander of the first wave of the counter attack." Romanov said, "Where might I ask are you from?"
"I was taken prisoner shortly before the Grey Ash army attacked my home country of Aqua Bubble." The man said, "Name's Lagos."
"Romanov" Romanov said.
"Romanov Petrov! Son of Vladistock Petrov?" Lagos asked, "The kid who broke every record in the CO training academy and was the first ever to graduate with perfect scores on everything!"
"Yes..." Romanov said.
"I never thought you'd be captured." Lagos laughed, "Funny the way things work out."
The door suddenly opened, shedding light on Lagos, illuminating his old ripped Aqua Bubble navy uniform but keeping his face hidden in the shadows.
"You, the Boss wants to speak with you"
A Grey Ash soldier said, directing Romanov to the door. Romanov stepped out and was immediately surrounded by a group of twenty armed soldiers.
"Nice to know You're that afraid of me." Romanov smirked.
"Bosses orders, I don't see how you could be this much of a threat." The first soldier said, pointing to the door, "Move!"
"Make me" Romanov said, suddenly getting smacked in the back with a rifle butt, "Ow!"
"Move!" The soldier yelled again.
"Die!" Romanov yelled back, grabbing the soldier and snapping his neck before the others could react. The other soldiers cocked their rifles and aimed at Romanovs head, "Fine, I'll go"
He walked out with the soldiers behind him, not lowering their weapons as Lagos laughed his head off as the soldiers body was dragged off.

Romanov was lead through the door of the Bosses office and seated infront of the large desk.
"You may go" The Boss said.
"For your own safety sir.." A soldier said.
"You may leave now!" The Boss said in a louder voice, sending the soldiers running, "A little fear is all you need to control an army."
"It didn't work on your Navy now did it." Romanov said.
"Who needs them, once I crush these last nations the world is mine and they will be forced to return." The Boss said, "Then I will execute Yamamoto for this."
"What makes you think these are the last nations?" Romanov said, "Oh, hadn't you heard? Your cowardly attack on Red Fire failed, we shot down every single missile you fired at us and then we conquered Grey Ash. In fact before we even arrived the citizens of Grey Ash revolted."
"You're lying." The Boss said, spinning around and staring Romanov in the eyes.
"Maybe, Maybe not." Romanov smirked again, "You have no way of knowing, I control the seas and you can't get any scouts past your own Navy."
"Don't be so sure." The Boss said, "When you have the resources I have you can afford to lose a few dozen scout planes."
"You're a monster." Romanov snapped.
"Yes, and you're a liar, You can't have any more than three hundred and fifty thousand men under your command." The Boss said, "And I know the location of your base now. It's since moved to the southern tip of Yellow Comet."
"So? You can't attack it without ships to cross the sea, we have you trapped." Romanov said.
"Wrong again, I still have my nuclear missiles which are being prepped for launch as we speak, in one hour they will launch and eradicate the last resistance. Then we will return to Grey Ash and began rebuilding the conquered nations to settle our people on." The Boss said, "Wars world will become the Planet of Grey Ash."
"How stupid you are." Romanov laughed, "You have nowhere to return to!"
"Then soon you won't either." The Boss said, "Unless you accept my offer."
"What would that be?" Romanov asked.
"I will spare you and your forces if you agree to become part of my army." The Boss said, "You've already proven yourself better and stronger than your brother with you in command we will crush those pitiful fools."
"And if I refuse?" Romanov said.
"I will make you suffer." The Boss said, standing up and walking around the desk.
"How?" Romanov asked, standing up and staring the Boss in the eyes, "I'm a lot stronger than I was last we met."
"But I'd still be stronger." The Boss said, "Go ahead, attack me."
"Your funeral, I'll even give the eulogy." Romanov said, throwing a well aimed punch at the Bosses head, only to have it caught and his fist squeezed.
"You always were weak" The Boss said, throwing Romanov across the room.
"I'll win in the end." Romanov said, dashing at the Boss and leaping, intending to tackle him. The Boss caught the back of Romanovs shirt and propelled him into a bookcase, that broke and fell ontop of him. Romanov pushed the book case off and leapt to his feet.
"Persistant aren't you!" The Boss yelled, grabbing Romanov by the throat and lifting him into the air. With all his strength the Boss slammed Romanov onto the hard ground, knocking the younger man out. The soldiers ran in and saw the Boss straightening his own uniform.
"Put him back in the stockade, perhaps a few days without food and water will loosen his tounge." The Boss said, "I really expected more out of him."
"Yes sir." One soldier said, dragging Romanov out.

"Looks who's back" Lagos said as Romanov was dumped in the cell.
"He's weaker than I though after all these years" Romanov said, leaping up looking completely unharmed, "I should expect that from someone who lives behind a desk."
"So what are you going to do now?" Lagos asked.
"Escape, cause Hell, prevent a nuclear attack." Romanov said, "Want to come?"
"This has been my home for four years so I'll have to say hell yes!" Lagos said, standing up revealing a large scar across his face and left eye, "They took my eye, I want a piece of them to take."
"Excellent." Romanov said walking up to the bars.
"How do you plan to escape?" Lagos asked.
"Watch" Romanov said, walking up to the small barred window on the door, "Hey guard, is it true all you Grey Ash soldiers stick rifles up each other ass's in an attempt to get off?"
"Shut up scum" The guard snapped.
"So it is true, I guess I owe Patton fifty bucks" Romanov said, stepping back a bit.
"I said shut up!" The guard snapped.
"Fine, I'm sure everyone will get a good laugh out of this when I get back." Romanov said.
"Do you want my to cut out your vocal cords!" The guard screamed, looking into the window. Romanov kicked the bars as hard as he could and one flew off, nailing the guard in the forehead.
"Oh that worked, he's out cold and we're still in here." Lagos said. Romanov grinned.
"Son of a..." The guard said, standing up rubbing his bleeding head, "You're gonna pay for that!"
The door opened and the guard stormed in weilding the pipe. He swung it at Romanov, who caught it and wrenched it out of his hand. Romanov threw an arm around the soldiers neck and impaled him on the bar.
"I'm impressed." Lagos said, catching the pistol Romanov tossed to him, "What? No weapon for you?"
"I'll pick one up along the way." Romanov said, "If this is set up just like the Alpha then there should be an armory right around the corner."
"You're right" Lagos said as Romanov used a key card he took off the guard to open the door.
"So what did you do in the Aqua Bubble military?" Romanov asked.
"Special Forces commander" Lagos said, flipping the lights on to reveal a multitude of guns, explosives and blade weapons, "I'm in heaven!"
"Keep it stealthy or go all out?" Romanov asked, taking a Naginata off the wall and spinning it around a few times.
"Go all out of course, let nothing live." Lagos said.
"Freeze!" A Grey Ash soldier ordered, appearing in the doorway with a gun drawn. Lagos put his hands up as suddenly the Naginata Romanov was holding flew past him and impaled the soldier to the wall through the chest.
"Remind me never to piss you off" Lagos said as a group of a dozen Grey Ash soldier appeared, their guns drawn, "Got a dozen more of those?"
"No." Romanov said, putting his hands up. Both shut their eyes when machine gun fire rang out, only to open them when they realized they weren't filled with bullet holes. The soldiers in the doorway were all dead, lying there in a forming pool of blood.
"What just happened?" Romanov asked as another group of Grey Ash soldiers ran up to the bodies and began stripping the of their weapons. Then a man in a Red Fire uniform walked into the room and saluted Romanov.
"Lt. O'Malley of Central Intelligence" O'Malley said, an Irish accent in his voice, "I was sent to spy on Grey Ash seven years ago and I got stuck here."
"Then who are they?" Lagos asked, pointing to the Grey Ash soldiers.
"All we want is to get out of this place and fight on your side." The lead soldier said, "Will you allow us?"
"Of course" Romanov said, catching a gun thrown to him, "We have thirty minutes before a nuclear strike will be launched, we have to stop it and disable the launch computers."
"No can do" O'Malley said, "Once it start you need a series of codes known only by the Boss to stop it."
"Then there's no point in leaving" Lagos said.
"Wrong!" The lead soldier chimed in, "The Boss has a collection of planes from the various countries he destroys, sort of like war trophies, if we can get them we can catch the missiles and shoot them down before they become active and destroy their targets."
"Good, Let's move!" Romanov said, arming his gun and leading the others out.

"Sir, Romanov has escaped." A soldier said, standing nervously infront of the Bosses desk.
"So he has rejected my offer, Kill him" The Boss said.
"We're having some trouble." The Soldier said, "One of the men turns out to be a Red Fire spy and he has gathered a group of soldiers wanting to defect. We've lost a hundred men so far"
"Fine, let him go" The Boss said.
"What!" The soldier exclaimed.
"Let him escape and begin gathering all the nearby soldiers to here, I want them to begin building new transports so we can wipe out any living civilians after we demolish their armies with the nuclear weapons." The Boss said, "He'll have nothing to return to and no possible way to resist us."
"As you wish sir." The soldier said.

"In here!" O'Malley said, directing them to a hanger filled with mint condition aircraft.
"Everyone, grab an aircraft and prepare to take off!" Romanov said, running to the Red Fire Jetcopter that was sitting beside a Blue Moon jet, "Lagos, You're with me!"
"Got it!" Lagos said, running and jumping into the rear seat of the copter. One of the Grey Ash soldiers opened the hanger doors as the Omega began to shudder.
"The missiles are launching!" The head soldier yelled.

The six support pillars of the Grey Omega began to open at the tops, revealing two nuclear missiles in each. Smoke and steam billowed from the bottoms as vents opened. With a loud roar the missiles launched from their silos and shot into the air, leaving trails of white smoke behind them.

"Let's do it!" Romanov said, punching the throttle of the Jet copter and shooting out of the hanger. He looked behind and saw the Boss watching him leave. Three more jets launched, painted the colours of Yellow Comet, Orange Star and Brown Rock.
"Will we have enough missiles to take them down?" Lagos asked.
"They were fully armed, I think, everyone, munitions check" Romanov said.
"Full" The Yellow Jet said.
"Full" The Orange Jet said.
"Oh Shit, this thing doesn't have any weapons!" O'Malley said in the Brown jet.
"Damn! Four missiles each, we can't miss!" Romanov said, flying full speed after the missiles.

On Yellow Comet a huge number of soldiers from every nation stood around a platform where Kanbei laid in a coffin and Sonja gave a eulogy for both Kanbei and Romanov, whom everyone assumed was dead. In the Red Alpha Patton was busy hammering out the finer details of Red Dawn. No one suspected a nuclear attack could be coming.

"These things are fast!" Romanov said, "We're already over water, in half an hour they'll hit their targets."
"We're close enough now" The head Grey Ash soldier said, "Pick your targets and fire, don't miss!"
Three missiles fired from the three armed jets and rocketed towards their targets. Three nukes exploded and their wreckage plummeted to the ground.
"Good work, do it again just like that." Romanov said.
Two more missiles shot from the jets and two more nukes went down.
"Why didn't you fire?" Romanov asked the Orange jet.
"The missile is jammed! It's going to explode!" The pilot said right before his jet erupted in a burst of flame.
"No! We don't have enough the destroy all the missiles!" The head soldier yelled.
"Don't give up!" Romanov said, "O'Malley, Try to contact any ground unit, tell them to ready air defenses!"
"The ground defenses can't hit them in time!" O'Malley said.
"It's better than nothing!" Romanov replied, "Pick targets and fire!"
Again two missiles fired and two nukes exploded.
"Time to shore?" Romanov asked.
"Ten minutes!" The head soldier said.
"Contact!" O'Malley exclaimed, "They say they'll be ready!"
"Fire last missile!" Romanov said.
Both fired their last missiles and one Nuke exploded. The missile from Romanovs Jet impacted but didn't explode.
"Damnit!" Romanov said, "We need a miracle now!"
"Sir, There's about a dozen jets heading for us and the missiles." O'Malley said, "Not Red Army or any other nation known."
"Fighters, identify yourselves!" Romanov ordered.
"My name is Hawke." The pilot of the leading jet replied, "I command the human remains of the nation of Black Hole."

Sonja was speaking to the crowds when air raid sirens began going off. The soldiers in attendance all looked around, wondering what was about to happen when the Pattons voice rang out from the loudspeakers on the Alpha.
"All AA Gunners report to guns, incoming Nuclear missiles!" Patton said, making the soldiers drop what they were doing and run to their guns. Panic began to break out among the other soldiers as they wondered if they would die soon.

"Allow us to assist" Hawke said, "We need to begin making ammends with these nations."
"Go ahead, and please hurry!" Romanov said as a dozen missiles fired from the Black Hole fighters. Two nukes remained in the sky, one near the Black Hole fighters, the other far away and beginning to descend.
"They can't get to their guns in time" Lagos said, "And the only jet near that one is O'Malley's, it's over."
"No it isn't!" O'Malley said, directing his Jet towards the missile, "One life can save thousands, good bye."
"Thank you..." Romanov said as O'Malley hit the afterburners on his jet. The people watched on the ground as the missile barrelled towards them. O'Malley's jet overtook the missile and with a sudden movement, collided with it. Both the missile and the jet burst into flames and fell harmlessly to the ground. Eleven of the Black Hole jets veered off towards what was probably their base while Hawkes remained with Romanov.
"Can you fly this thing?" Romanov asked, converting to rotor mode.
"Yep, piece of cake" Lagos said, taking control as Romanov opened the door and stepped onto the skid on the side. The copter flew over the soldiers as they cheered for the return of their leader. The copter flew over Sonja on the stage and a tear came to her eye. Romanov jumped off the rotor and dropped to the ground. He immediatly ran towards the Yellow Comet jet as it slowed to a stop on the ground and a pair of Grey Ash soldiers jumped out. Hawke landed as well and climbed out of his jet, glaring at Sonja and the other CO's as they glared back. The group headed to the Red Alpha and entered, making their way to the command center.

"Attention, all clear, return to normal." Patton said over the loud speakers as Romanov and the others entered, "Romanov! You're alive!"
"There's not time for celebration." Romanov said, his voice being heard over the loudspeakers as well as Patton hadn't turned the microphone off, "Remove the Grey Omega from the list of targets for Red Dawn."
"What! Why?" Patton argued.
"That is where we will land." Romanov said, pointing to a river that ran from the ocean inland near the Omega.
"But if we take out the Grey Ash CO then the enemy moral will plummet!" Patton said, "There's almost a million soldiers guarding it, we can't take on that many!"
"We can, I have to kill the Grey Ash CO myself!" Romanov said.
"Why is this so important to you?" Patton asked.
"I'd rather not say" Romanov replied.
"Tell me" Patton said, "There has to be a reason why you don't want to hit it!"
Romanov mumbled something under his breath that no one could make out.
"What did you say?" Patton asked.
"I said I have to kill him because the Grey as CO is!" Romanov yelled, "My father...."

A stunned silence swept over all the soldiers as they heard this. The looked at each other not knowing what to think now.
"He is fighting his own father..." Sonja said, "That must be the hardest thing he's ever had to do."

"Vladistock is the Boss?" Patton said, stunned.
"Yes, my father is the leader of the Grey Ash army, My father is the one who started the war, My Father is the one responsible for the billions of dead." Romanov said, anger filling his eyes, "My father is the one who came up the the idea of, designed, built and launched the nuclear weapons that destroyed Red Fire."
"My god..." Monty said, "I'd hate to be him right now, what are you planning on doing to him?"
"I'm going to fight him, make him suffer, then kill him" Romanov said, "Order the Blood Ensigns taken down! Raise the flag of Red Fire! Let them know who they are dealing with! Order the soldiers to their transports! We move out now!"
"Yes sir!" Patton said, jumping into action and handing the microphone to Romanov.
"All soldiers, it's now the time we've all been waiting for!" Romanov said as soldiers in the Red Alpha lowered the blood red flags on the Alpha and replaced them with the flaming sword flags of Red Fire, "Commence Red Dawn!"
