I hope most of you are doing well. Sorry for the wait, it's been a hard two months for me. I don't really want to explain it at all. I am depressed at the moment but it's not going to effect in what I do. So here I go and I hope that this next part is good.
Surprise Assault
July 17, 08:41hrs
Papetoon Orbit
Black Serpent Counter Terrorist Force
EXO Type: Specialist
Riot Shield
Overdrive
Cloak
The Venom ship that Fox and the others were waiting for was arriving and it was about to make it's stop. They were all armed with The HBRa3 Suppressed w/ Hybrid Sight secondary 1911.45 silenced. The squad was a six man team that was Roach, Fox, Jason and three other operatives. As their target ship was approaching them, the pilot got ready to do his job as well. The team got their Exo ready, they all had on a black combat tactical uniform, black tactical gloves and black tactical boots. Their suit also contained a black helmet mask which would cover their face when they are cloaked. They had on a medium assault black body armor load out.
Roach explained to his squad that the energy cells on the cloak will drain if they move to fast. Holding position will allow it to recharge but slowly. Uncloaking will recharge it completely, but at risk of being compromised in the field. The pilot notified Roach telling him that the supply ship has arrived in orbit of Papetoon and Roach bypassed their communication and the Captain of the ship was trying to get their clearance to pass through the planet. The pilot began to fly into the hanger since they left it open. The jammer frequency was active and the Venom ship couldn't detect them on their radar. The pilot landed inside after crossing threw the shield that kept the life support and the gravity in the hanger active. As the pilot landed the ship the squad were ready to head out. The ramp dropped and the squad went out and into the hanger bay. Their were no hostiles in sight.
Roach signaled his squad to moved towards the door, since it was likely to have hostiles on the other side of the of the section. They were on the lower deck and they needed to set charges on their weapons cache and armory in order to get to the bridge they have to clear each deck before reaching the bridge. Roach told his squad to cloak now. They all activated their cloaks that was on their left risk control panel. The squad were all cloaked and they still were able to see each other thanks to their cloaked beacons. Their assault rifles were cloaked and their secondaries.
One of the operatives bypassed the panel to the door and the hanger bay door to the hallway was now opened. Their were no guards on the door and the hallway was clear Roach split the squad up he would take Fox and Jason going down the right way while the other three would go through the left side. Roach, Fox and Jason moved up slowly, while team two were clearing their area. Hostiles were in sight but at least the squad couldn't be detected at all. Still they had to be careful since they needed to check their energy cells to make sure they didn't run out of energy cells or else they could be compromised.
Roach's side had a few hostiles and they were ready to take them out, it seemed that they came out from weapons cache on the right door. They moved up slowly and all three of them aimed their rifles at the hostiles and fired on them, the hostiles were taking out and Roach told Fox and Jason to check their bodies for intel, while he set charges on the weapons cache. As both Fox and Jason were checking the bodies for intel Fox noticed something odd, as he turned one of the bodies around and saw that he wasn't Venom at all, he scanned for a beacon on him and found a StarWolf beacon. He went into the weapons cache and found Roach and said to him. "Sir, one of the dead bodies isn't Venom, I picked up a Star Wolf beacon on him, O'Donnell has men on board as well, probably undercover playing as Venom supporters." Roach turned around after placing the last charge on a crate and saw Fox and spoke. "Okay, if Wolf has men in here they are hostile no matter what, any beacon that does not read Venom on it will be Star Wolf. They could have unique intel that might be important for us that can help us shut Star Wolf down completely." He contacted team two. "Team two, be advised. Their is confirmation of Star Wolf members on board as well, their hostile. If you take any member that does not have a Venom beacon, they must be O'Donnell's men. They may have unique intel on what Star Wolf's next move and anything important that could shut them down completely. Check every body that you take down for intel since it will be useful for us down the line. Out."
Roach signaled both Fox and Jason to move up since their wasn't anything else in the area. Team two secured an armory and took care of hostiles as well, they check the bodies for intel and saw that one of the bodies had a Star Wolf beacon on himself marking he was a member of Star Wolf.
The squad was able to complete their objectives and found unique intel on many of the Star Wolf members that were on board the ship. They also got valuable intel on some of the Venom bodies. In the last fifteen minutes they had two decks cleared and were not compromised. They still had three more decks to clear out, before reaching the bridge of the ship. Roach held up his hand, he, Fox, and Jason needed to recharge their cloak. They uncloaked for a few seconds to let their energy cells recharge. They cloaked again and moved up.
40 minutes later
After clearing the last three decks of the ship, the squad regrouped and were on the door that leads to the bridge. Roach spoke to Fox. "Sergeant, get that mute charge ready." Fox got the mute charge that was behind him and sets it on the floor and turns the dial on it and the mute charge is on cancelling the sound in the bridge and outside it but only for a limited amount of time. Roach places a charge on the door and has the detonator in his hand and then set it off breaching the door. Fox moves in and takes out the crew that was in the bridge. The effects of the mute charge shuts off and Jason speaks. "Clear." The squad uncloaked since they have now taken control of the ship. The rest of the team went in and Fox when for the pilot controls of the ship to began to turn it around. Orders were to scuttle the ship at a safe distance from Papetoon so no big chunks of debris enter the atmosphere of Papetoon at all. Roach needed the ship about 5 miles from Papetoon just to be safe.
Roach contacted his Post. "Black Crow, Assault 1. Send a message back to Corneria's Headquarters. Target is secured, we are going to scuttle the ship, all hostiles have been neutralized. Intel has been secured as well. Were are on our way back to Papetoon. Out." Jason, and two of the operatives placed the last of their charges on the bridge and Fox placed the ship on auto pilot so that it can travel to the safe area away from the planet. They all the then ran back to the elevator to head back down to the lower deck that leads to the hanger, where their extraction was waiting for them.
Ten minutes later, the squad returned to the hanger bay and boarded their ship. Roach signaled the pilot that all eagles were accounted for and they were ready to leave the ship. The pilot activated all systems and powered the engines, closed the hatch, and ascended the ship. He turned the ship to the exit doors that would lead them back into space. The pilot flew out of the hanger and got a good distance from the ship but followed it since Roach needed to detonate the charges that were on the ship. The ship was now at the safe distance and Roach pulled out the detonator and activated the charges. All the charges on the ship exploded and it was sending a chain reaction. The Venom ship then exploded completely. Everything on the ship was now gone. Venom would be outraged by this, loosing one of their shipping of weapons and ammo.
The mission was done, Roach told the pilot to return to Papetoon and drop of him and the rest of the squad at his Safe House, another mission was not too far away for some of them. Roach was contacted and he spoke. "Go ahead." He was receiving another assignment but, Fox and Jason didn't know who contacted him. "Solid Copy. I got two others that can help me out on this. If the HVT is on his way to that location. We can take him out from distance, it's likely he'll have an army of men with him when he reaches his destination. We got three days until he arrives at the planet. Keep me posted on him. Out."
The pilot was now flying back to Papetoon to drop off the squad, his day was about to be done.
10 minutes later
Papetoon
Safe House
The squad was back in Papetoon relaxing at the safe house, they had their Exo suits off and their gear. Roach needed all the intel that they got during the mission so he can send the copies to Corneria's Headquarters so they can check on everything that they got. Roach headed to his room with all the intel while Fox and Jason decided to get their report done for the mission they have just completed.
11:43 hrs
Sargossa Space Station
Wolf just got word about his undercover men, they were all dead. He was upset and was now going to find those who took out his men and make them pay for it. He planned on taking those supplies from that ship and give them to his men. He didn't have much weapons and ammo left for everyone. He going to plan something and he needs it to work so he can take out the ones that were responsible for destroying his arms supplies. He need his members to accompany him for this and find those that are responsible for destroying his weapons and ammo.
Papetoon
Safehouse
Fox and Jason were still working on the reports since they needed to be well detailed on it. They had until tomorrow to get it done, for now they wanted to get most of it done before what ever happens in three days.
20 minutes later
Fox headed to his room to get some rest, since their was nothing else to do at the moment. Things were now different for him since this new life that he has began no too long ago. It was much different but some how he enjoyed it. Choosing to disband Star Fox was a hard choice since he didn't want to end his father's legacy, but he believe that his father would have done the same for something like this or retirement.
He arrived at his room and entered, Fox lied down on the bed and felt like taking a nap for now until he gets called out. He eyes closed and fell into his nap that he needed for now.
2 hours later
Fox woke up and got up. He felt more relaxed for now and noticed that it was now the afternoon. He hasn't been notified yet, but felt that it was time to get some food since the others must have already eaten or could have started to eat.
Sargossa
Wolf, Leon, Panther, and Krystal were getting ready to leave the station since they needed to find out who attacked the ship and destroyed it. The people of Lylat have started to spread out rumors about Krystal. They blame her for the disbandment of Star Fox and also mistreat her for not staying with him. She's been ignoring all of those hateful things that were being told, but deep down it's already been effecting her and her piloting skills.
Papetoon
14:54 hrs
Fox was called by Roach to meet him in the briefing room. Fox felt that this had to do with the HVT that he was assigned to takeout. He entered the briefing room and saw Roach sitting down with the intel and orders as well. Roach offered him to sit down on the other side of the table and Roach began to talk. "I'm pretty sure you know what this is about." Fox nodded. "After we took out the Venom ship. I contacted HQ about the intel and some it leads back to the High Value Target that Corneria is after for some time now. Our orders are to take him out at all cost." He slides an image to Fox and he looks at it. "Dash Bowman." Fox said. Roach nodded and continued on. "It appears that he's betrayed Corneria and all of Lylat. Andrew Oikonny has got him to be one of his Generals for Venom. More Venom supporters are joining everyday. We got a location on where Dash is going." Dash Bowman was a former informant that helped out Corneria and is the grandson of Andross. It's unknown when he decided to join Venom. He was a good person back then, but what ever happened. Andrew got into his head and poisoned his mind with his lies about Corneria. Roach spoke. "Intel says that he's heading to Fachina for a trade agreement with some local criminals that are from Kew. Orders are to eliminate Dash when they make the deal. We both will go but with one more person."
The door opened and Fox's friend Falco entered the room. Fox was shocked at this seeing that one of his friends was joining on this assignment. Falco sat down on the other chair next to Fox and they both nodded at each other and Roach continued on. "Orders are to leave to Fachina the day before the meeting and get into position at distance to take out our target. Specialist Exo is to be worn but their will be a difference in the gear. We will have to use modern weapons for this because we don't have the advance weapons for this at all. You'll see how the gear looks tomorrow. Dismissed." Both Fox and Falco left the room and were talking to see what the plan is and how they are going to take out Dash.
One of the operatives gave Fox what appeared to be mail for him. However it was his payment. Fox checks on how much he got this time and sees that he's received a little bit more then before. He puts his payment in his pocket for now since he and Falco were going to chat for now until they resided to their rooms to get some rest.
20:15hrs
Fox was back in his room getting ready to go to bed. He placed his payment in his desk making sure not to have with him when they go to Fachina in two days. Looking out the window and seeing the city lights in the distance gave him a smile. He still missed Krystal and hoped that one day they will be together, however he wasn't that much worried about her now since he needs to know that he could die on a mission, but it would be a good death and be honored if he does. This war was going to get much more harder to end and Fox is going to do everything he can to help out his operatives to bring peace once in for all to all of Lylat.
Near Titian
Star Wolf had been traveling for sometime now and they still had a ways to go until they reach Papetoon where they needed to know what happened to their supplies. They would arrive at Papetoon at dawn. This gave Wolf time to try and investigate the area to see what happened. What he doesn't know is that the Counter Terrorist Force was their and they were already destroyed the ship.
Papetoon
Roach was looking at some of the reports that he got from previous missions that were done before. He even was checking up on updates from the other safe houses and the other planets so far are still in peace. Venom was going to strike again but it they still didn't know when it could happen. He kept notifying the post to keep on alert no matter what and have the recon drones continue patrolling they cities and towns making sure no trouble is around or any possible terrorist attacks.
Black Serpent is young but is growing very rapidly with and they are a force not to be messed with and they can do serious damage to their enemies if they try to do a significant blow to them if they ever try. Fox, and Falco were now ready for anything that is expected to come their way when they go to Fachina. Whatever happens their they will be take care of it no matter what. They were waiting for the rest of their orders and for the assassination order on Dash Bowman. This could be tough for them but they know the risks that they are taking for this and they were taught how to do this back when they were in training.
At last this chapter is done after over a month of writing and I hope some of you enjoyed this. I did the best that I could for this chapter. So the next part will come later on so I got to get to work on the other ideas that I'm working on. Until then take care and I will be back. Out.
