Chapter Two:
Ready to Roll!
Conrad ran down the hill, shouting as he stomped on the grass beneath his feet. He fired off shots from his assault rifle and took out a grenade, unhooking it and throwing it up to the automatic machinegun on the left. There were men all around Conrad, yelling and firing off their weapons. O'Reilly was still hanging back a bit, at the end of the formation, looking to see if anyone else was coming out. He saw a few doors open, but couldn't tell if anyone was actually coming out.
The automatic guns killed two men, but they were soon destroyed by grenades. Conrad looked around as they entered through the gates, looking around a bit. A Terran Republic assault buggy known as the Marauder came around the corner and the men scattered. Conrad hid behind some tall metal crates as the gunner on the buggy blew things up with the cannon mounted on the back. It was like a jeep, driver, passenger, and a gunner on the back. Two men were 'killed' (if you could really say that), leaving six left.
Wilkons had his grenade launcher at the ready and launched one straight at the buggy, launching it a short ways into the air as it exploded and flipped once.
"Nice job!" Conrad shouted out to him. O'Reilly came down from the back and smiled. "See anything?"
"They're all locked up inside sir!"
"Roger that, we're gonna assault the doors. Anybody got some hacking gear?"
"Right here sir!" A private took out a small laser like device. A laser came out of it and into the door's key lock system. The laser then would find the right key combination and the door would open.
"Open that door and everybody give him some cover; god knows what's behind those doors!"
"Roger that sir!" Everybody said.
Conrad got behind the hacker as he went over to the side door and started to open it. Conrad got ready for the worst as the door opened and there was one Terran in there with a MAX Anti-Infantry suite on. It was a huge piece of armor with a chain-gun and a cannon on each arm. As soon as the door opened everybody opened fire and the chain-gun ripped up a few infantry, leaving only three men left: O'Reilly, Conrad, and Private First Class Tyler Burch. Everybody opened fire, the Terran went down finally, and his suite was ruined, torn to pieces. It had dents in it, but Conrad's forces paid.
Tyler was actually the hacker. "Damnit, we're gonna need to make a quick plan!"
"We can still take the building sir… we just need a plan to get to the main controls without getting shot up…"
"Alright, we give Tyler cover and escort him to the mainframe so he can convert the building to our side and get some forces on this planet. Just watch each angle carefully, but don't take it too slow, understood?"
"Roger that!"
"Roger that!"
"Alright, let's go!" Conrad took point and O'Reilly had his pistol out, taking the back. Tyler was in the middle, his assault rifle out and ready. Conrad looked around carefully as he went up some stairs and further into the building. He saw the vehicle bay and mainframe for that in the first room. He continued to go further in until coming to the middle room. He slowly entered and saw many Terrans in, closing and locking the door. "Damnit!"
"What is it?" Tyler asked.
"A squad of Terrans, about ten men!"
"How do we get passed them?" Tyler asked.
"I don't know!"
"We need a plan…" O'Reilly said.
Conrad thought, but came up with no solution. "I say we just try to shoot them all, we have no other choice…"
"Roger that!"
"Roger that!"
Conrad sighed and opened the door, kneeling down and firing bullets into one infantry then turning and firing at another. He dropped his rifle once out of bullets and grabbed his pistol. Tyler was shot up by a few rifle shots and O'Reilly shot at another man. Conrad moved to the left and continued to fire, and then O'Reilly took two hits to the shoulder and was knocked to the ground. Conrad saw three men left, two were reloading. He took O'Reilly's weapons and fired his pistol into one man and his sniper rifle into another. The last man got a good shot on Conrad's shoulder, but Conrad took his rifle and reloaded as fast as he could, taking another shot to the foot. He fired into the head of his enemy and dropped to the ground himself.
He picked up the hacker weapon and crawled to the mainframe, turning it over to their side. He died and respawned at his home continent.
