Chapter 17: Heroes of Golden Flames
[Link's POV]
[Tanith Isle's Air base 7:12pm]
We walked towards the bar. Like Naval Ace said before, it did take three hours for the CO Power's effect to where off. I knew the adult would be the only ones allowed to drink, but that didn't stop us from going anyway.
We entered the bar and it was pretty big. There was the bar in front of us and round tables all surrounding the aisle to the bar. We sat down at a couple of Tables. Tao got up and sat at the bar and ordered one of the finest beers.
"Oh no, Tao is going to get drunk," Naval Ace commented.
"Again," Townes added.
"Well, getting hammered doesn't really make him a Hero or anything," Juziz stated.
"Hero, that reminds me," Naval Ace said getting up and walking towards a telephone.
The Pirates started to drink a round of beer as they joined in a drinking song. We sat and drank our soft drinks and watched as the others got drunk. The only ones who weren't getting drunk were Naval Ace, Townes and Granger.
"Well, I made the call," Naval Ace stated sitting back down.
"Who'd you call?" I asked.
"Colonel Burton," He replied.
"Who's that?" I asked curiously.
"Colonel Burton is Golden Flames' Hero, he did a lot to help win the last war," Townes answered.
"You want us to meet him?" Tetra asked.
"Yes, you'll be going on a mission into Magenta Streams," Granger stated.
"You will go in through a large river during the night. You will have to destroy their Early warning radar systems," Naval Ace added.
"But, won't they be able to take us down?" I asked sipping my drink.
"Don't fear Colonel Burton is good at protecting allies and will keep you guys alive," Naval Ace assured.
We sat there for a while talking about the mission as the others were still having drunken fun. Tao looked pretty drunk and started to walk around the room with his drink. Tetra, Fado, Aryll, Medli, Komali, Makar, Laruto, Adrian, Lance, Colin, Andy and I were listening to what Granger was warning us about. Just then, Tao came up to us and tried to sit down.
"Tao, you sure you don't need help sitting? You look pretty Hammered," Townes stated.
"No Thanks, For I am-I am, I said that right? I am the Bringer of Light!" Tao said as he fell on the ground trying to sit making us all laugh.
"Anyways, I think Colonel Burton is here," Townes said looking out the window.
A humvee stopped in front of the bar and the sounds of feet and doors opening and closing were heard. The humvee drove off and a man came through the doors. He was over six feet tall and had no shirt on. He was muscular and had no hair. He wore Green army pants and an ammo belt was hanging over his shoulder. He looked to us and grinned, He walked over and took a seat in between Naval Ace and Link.
"Guys, if you would guess, This is Colonel Burton," Naval Ace introduced.
"My Pleasure to meet you," Burton stated raising his hand to shake ours.
"Same here, I'm Link," I said shaking his hand. He shook hands with the others and we decided to talk about the mission later.
"So, this guy walks into a bar and says ouch," Townes said and started laughing.
"Townes, that was corny," Naval Ace replied as we all agreed.
"No it wasn't! Right Tao?" Townes said picking Tao up off the ground.
"Ma-morning glory," Tao said as he fell down again.
"The floor comfortable for you Tao?" Granger asked. The only reply Granger got was the sound of Tao snoring, making us all laugh hard.

[Magenta Streams 8:45pm]
"You got beat up Yuri?" Asked Sturm as Yuri patched himself up.
"Yes," He replied with his eyes closed.
"So what will we do? The allies might be planning to invade the mainland soon," Maelstrom stated.
"We Reconstruct the Nuclear Ion Cannon," Yuri replied.
"What does it do?" Ganondorf asked.
"You see, in the last war, it had the capability to destroy large islands. It also has the ability to fire fast. But it has one major downfall, it needs a large amount of power to operate," Yuri explained.
"Then we will have to build it fast, while our energy supply is very high," Ganondorf stated.
"Agreed."

[Link's POV]
[Tanith Isle's Airbase 8:51pm]
"So how is this attack going to work?" I asked sipping my drink.
"That's what I'm wondering, with those defenses along the beach, how are we going to enter the river?" Burton asked.
"We can't use any Naval vessels, they'll be spotted and sunk," Townes added.
"Well, it's pretty simple, we are going to send a force of King Raptors at the enemy defenses. Once those defenses are taken out, you will slip in with the use of the Inflatable rafts used by our special ops forces. You will enter the dense jungle and head north to the radar complex. Be careful of soldiers patrolling the jungle, you will have the use of silenced weapons. When you get to the radar complex, go through the side where the river is, they didn't protect that part very well. Enter the complex and place C4 charges in the control room. Exit the complex and head towards the river, where you will meet a contact. He will place you in the lower part of the ship and sail you out," Naval Ace stated.
"I see, so that*s the whole plan?" Burton asked.
"It is," He replied.
"What about our Stealth bombers and B2s?" Granger asked, "We could surely use those!"
"We can't, our satellite scans have shown Maelstrom has built new radar systems that detect the sounds of aircraft a long distance away. It's a very unique radar system, but it is to far inland to do a sneak attack and get you guys out safely," Naval Ace stated.
"One last question, what about Link, he has no weapons that are effective against enemy soldiers, not to mention the snipers," Burton announced.
"Not a problem, I realized it so I have decided it will be best if we teach Link as well as Tetra how to properly use the weapons we will give them," He replied.
He got up and walked to the door and Burton followed him. The rest of us got up and followed them out the door and next to an APC. The sun was almost about to set on the horizon, but it was still pretty bright out. Naval Ace slid out two gun cases from its cargo hull and placed them on a nearby table.
He opened them one and it showed a black gun with a side magazine feed on its left. It had a scope on and there was a grip on the front with the barrel resting above it. I looked towards Burton who gave an impressed look and I looked back at Naval Ace. He looked at me and grinned. He handed me the gun and I stared at it. I was also amazed at its weight; I always thought guns were light seeing other soldiers hold them with ease.
"Surprised about the weight?" Burton asked.
"Yes," I replied.
"The gun isn't loaded, so don't worry about accidentally shooting it," He said.
"What you are holding is one of our older, yet more powerful guns. It is the FG42, it is powerful and well known because of one special feature. The gun can be set to single shot to fire as a Sniper Rifle at long range, or set to Full Automatic and fire a lot or rounds at close range," Naval Ace stated, "Here's the clip loaded with its normal 20 rounds. Pull out the used magazine and place the new magazine in, then pull the lever on its right side back and release to arm it."
I did what he said and pulled the magazine out, then I replaced the magazine and pulled the lever back just like he said. Burton was a lot of yards away setting up targets that weren't to big and weren't too small. He placed one a couple of yards away and the other much farther away. Naval Ace handed me a pair of Ear plugs and told me to put them on. Burton ran back and looked at the targets then turned to me.
"Well Link, go ahead and give it a shot, flip the switch right for Full auto and flip it in the middle for single shot, the left one puts it on safety. For the closer target, use full auto, and for the farther target use single shot and use the scope, it works just like a telescope," Burton explained as I pointed the gun at the first target, "You guys might want to place the ear plugs on that Naval Ace gave you earlier.
I placed my index finger on the trigger and squeezed it (You're suppose to, so don't argue!!!). I tried to hold steady as I fired it. I shot around ten rounds at the target before I had to stop before losing my balance. I looked at the target and the holes were pretty bunched up in the middle. There were some shots around the top, most likely the shots that were off because I lost balance.
"Hard to keep control of it on Full Auto huh? That's why most of our soldiers use semi-autos. Flip the Switch to single shot and aim for the other target. Fire just three shots," Burton instructed.
I did what he said and flipped the switch. I aimed the gun directly at the target and looked trough the scope. There were cross hairs on it, but only a three way one; there wasn't a line coming from the top. I aimed it at the middle of the target and squeezed the trigger. The gun jerked back from the recoil. I looked through the scope again to find my first shot dead center. I fire another shot and when I regained balance, saw it missed the middle and went almost next to it. I shot my last shot and it sunk dead center again. I lowered the gun and Burton ran down and got the target. He came running back and placed it in front of us.
"Nice job Link, you might be a pro at handling that gun," Burton stated.
"Well that's why I'm letting him keep it," Naval Ace said making Burton turn to him.
"Yep, we have plenty of those, but Link gets it free, consider it a gift," He said again picking up his silence M60 and silenced AR-15.
"Wow, Thanks a lot," I replied happily.
"How are you going to carry that gun around Link, it has no strap," Colin pointed out.
"Oh yah, here's the strap for it," Naval Ace said attaching the strap to two ends of the gun.
"Okay, so when do you two get going?" Aryll asked.
"Right about now, the Chinook is already on its way," Naval Ace stated as a Chinook was seen approaching from the air base, "Oh, by the way, you can't handle all the snipers yourselves so I took the liberty of adding another member to your team."
"Another member?" Fado asked.
"Yes, an expert sniper," He replied as the Chinook began to land.
"So it will only be Tetra, Burton, the sniper and myself going?" I asked.
"Yes, we can't have all of you go because you'll get spotted, and for the new guys like Lance, we'll have to brief them in," Naval Ace said.
The door slid open and another Arabic type man stepped out. He has a turbine on his head and had tanned skin. He had an AK-47 on his back and an M82A3 with a very powerful silencer in his right hand. He wore Arabic type clothing and had combat boots on. He had black hair sticking out on his forehead and he looked around his late twenties.
"Guys, This is the expert sniper, Jarmen Kell, another Hero of Golden Flames" Naval Ace introduced.
"My pleasure to meet you," Jarmen stated as he held his hand out fr a shake which I gave him, "Well, we have to get going."
"Yes, good luck to you all," Naval Ace said as I got in the Chinook.
The door closed as Tetra got in and sat next to me. Burton made sure the inflatable raft in the back was there and sat down. The Chinook took off and we were flying on our way towards Magenta Streams.
