24 hours after Operation Black Jack

January 9, 10:00 hrs

Corneria Safe House

After the operation in Katina that was a success and a failure. The team returned to Corneria with intel on his next moves and this was important now. Falco was taken to the Hospital to get his scar checked on and to confirm that their was no damage to the eye. Fox brought James with him to the safe house and he had him in his room while Fox was with Roach checking on the intel that they got. Black Jack had other places that he is willing to attack, but with the intel that they captured back at Titian it was more then enough to try and stop his attacks. They also got images where their was some oil rigs in Titian that they were using them as resupply stations and it was active. Before they could go for the oil rigs they had a couple of assignments to do to try and reach that area. They got word after the massacre on Corneria's mall that the weapons that the Venom forces used were from some one else. They got intel on where the weapons came from and who sold them. An arms dealer somewhere in Fortuna in militia territory. If the militia are protecting him he must have a right hand man. The name of the arms dealer is Victor Cobra a light grey lizard that is a former Titian operative that was discharged for criminal acts on supporting Venom during it's last invasion. If the weapons that they used were dangerous, it could effect the entire Lylat System and the war. During the search for Black Jack back in Katina. Roach knew that a bomb would have been planted somewhere and it could have been a tragic for the squad to not survive it but he knew that it would happen.

24 hours earlier

After the bomb incident

Katina

The squad was in heavy shock and coughing. Thankfully the flak uniform saved their lives. The flak uniform was made 2 months ago and it was tested. It worked really well to protect from shrapnel and from the explosion. They placed the flak on the uniform to try and protect the soldiers if they ever were searching for IEDs. The team started to get up and to see if they were okay. The flak worked like a charm, but Roach was contacted by the AC-130 pilot. "221, were picking in up multiple hostiles heading your way. You need to move to the LZ now." Roach responded. "Roger that. Squad, let's go their coming at right at us and it doesn't sound good at all." They left the room and headed for the Landing Zone.

Present day

At least they all got out alive with no casualties at all. For now they had to continue the search, with a big lead they have a chance to get info from the arms dealer when they had the clearance to do the search in Fortuna. It may take some time but it won't matter at all once they get the chance to find Victor and get what ever he knows about Black Jack and what his next move is. Then they will go after the oil rigs to try and stop is flow of supplies and what else he has. This was going to be a big assignment and it will be a tough one to try and get Black Jack. Fox then spoke and knew Black Jack's real name. "I knew who Black Jack is now. It's Andrew Oikonny, the nephew of Andross. He want's revenge on us. I thought that he died when the Aparoid took him down, but he somehow survived and is back again." Roach nodded and knew that they have to stop Oikonny no mater what the cost is. Fox had a couple of images of him and handed them to Roach and they began setting up other images and words that had clues to what his next moves and attacks were. It was also confirmed that Andross has a grandson named Dash Bowman he is the second cousin of Andrew Oikonny and is second in Command of Venom's forces. It's unknown how he became hostile, but they needed to try and stop him as well. Plus Wolf's inner circle has expanded and now is using Fachina as an Airbase to have most of it's Wolfens are their. They had a fuel station and the base must be taken down before they can continue the search for Oikonny. Only Roach and Fox were going to Fachina. The location was some where up in the glacier mountains. Once the base was down the can look for the arms dealer. They had everything that they needed and it will be ready once they get the approval in 2 or 3 months. After going through the intel Fox returned to his room and saw James napping right now. He got on the bed and lied down, his son woke up and looked, he saw his father and crawled up to him and Fox placed him on his chest and James returned to his nap. Fox held on to him as he was napping and was started to doze off as well. Fox began to dream about the time the he was in his first days of training of joining TF221

Task Force Training Facility

Corneria

Fox was practicing on how to do a hostage rescue mission and it wasn't easy for him. He was taken down a couple of times by Lieutenant Adam 'Nomad' Becker an S.A.S operative and now a TF member he spoke to Fox who was on the ground. "Sloppy Redcell. Your a deadman. Rest. Your getting better but you still, no excuse for watching your back. Best weapon you have it the one between your ears use it." Roach came in on jeep and then walked up to Adam. Adam spoke. "He's gotten better sir, still doesn't watch his six though." Roach spoke. "Well at least he's learning very quickly. How's he doing?" Adam responded. "He's a work in progress." Roach spoke. "Well keep working on him, he's going to be a great operative." He looks at Fox and speaks. "It's been very tough for you to lose someone you love, and it's a sad day indeed when she doesn't realize the mistake she made. Jump in I'll give you the tour." Adam and Fox followed Roach to the jeep and Roach got on the passenger side while Fox and Adam took the back. The driver drove off and they were out of the training facility and were heading to the armory to restock and rearm so Fox can do the target training test. Adam contacted one of the operatives. "Knight were bringing Redcell over to the armory get hostage training test prep for another run." 'Knight' responded. "You got it Lieutenant." The were passing through some buildings that had operatives and trainees. Roach spoke. "What your seeing is our technology or our Modern Era. Task Force 221 is young but has gotten a big reputation for saving thousands of lives every week. We can save up to about 1 million civilians in about a year. For what we do, we are not savages, we don't kill civilians we use precision." The gates opened and the driver went through. Fox saw Tanks passing by and helos flying over. Roach continued on. "For us we don't use power to corrupt people. We are soldiers that fight to give freedom to those that are in need of it. For many it's a second chance at life." They were approaching the armory and the driver stopped. Fox was about to get off until Roach spoke. "Fox." He turned and looked at him. Roach continued on. "I know your not in this for the money. You remind me a lot of an old friend that way. Now go get prepped up." He nodded and both he and Adam got of the jeep and the drive left with Roach.

End of flashback

Corneria City

Krystal was walking around and seeing how Corneria is now thriving thanks to TF 221. The time was getting closer each day and she knew that once it does she will be with Fox no matter what. She approached a bench and sat down. She entered Fox's mind from distance and could see that he was asleep with his son. Somehow she was smiling at this. She knew that he was doing an excellent job in raising his son, but she heard about the promise he made with Fara before she died. She can still here it from time to time and it was also making her cry at times the she hears it. It pains her to see that Fox has to suffer everyday that he lost someone that was close to him. She is going to help him no matter what. She then was looking at the safe house that was in distance from the city. She knows that Fox is their right now but not for much longer. She can tell that they were going to do a mission and this one she believes will last a little while. She stands up and returns to her place that she was renting out for now.

Fachina Mountains

Roach and Fox were on the cliff sides of the ice mountains of Fachina and were very high up. They were on a ledge of the cliff and Roach spoke. "Breaks over Redcell let's go." They were moving to the right. They were wearing Grey thermal jackets, thermal tactical gloves, acu camo pants, sand tactical boots, snow pick climbing shoes, and ice picks. They had assault body armor. Roach had on his tan balaclava and a grey hood on his head. Fox was just wearing a grey bennie. Roach was armed with and M14 EBR Silenced Scope and also had a thermal scope, secondary was his 1911.45 Silenced . Fox was armed with ACR Red dot sight Heartbeat sensor with Silencer his secondary was the USP .45 Silenced. They reached a area where they could possibly climb up the mountain. Roach spoke. "Stay here and spot me, wait for my go." He got out the ice climbing picks and began to climb up and checking how strong the ice is. The ice is strong and good enough to climb, Roach spoke out to Fox. "Alright the ice is good, follow me." Fox pulled how his ice picks and began to climb up the mountain. As they continued to climb up the mountain side a Wolfen flew above them and pass right by them. They continued up and reached the a flat area and their was a jump point to the right and Roach spoke. "Good luck mate, I'll see you on the far side." Roach ran and then jumped using his ice climbing picks to hit the ice mountain on the other side. Fox then runs and jumps he hits his picks on the ice but was slipping. Roach heard this and shouted out. "Hold on! Don't let go!" Fox hit the edge and lost grip on the left pick and was going to lose the right one any second. He places his left hand on the right one and tries to pull himself up but the pick comes off and some how Roach got hold of him just in the nick of time and Roach was gripping his pick shoes on the wall ice to keep him from falling he the tosses Fox up so he can start climbing up. Fox managed to begin the climb up and so did Roach. The reach the top and it was done. They finished climbing up the mountain and were near the base. The placed their ice picks away and pulled out their weapons. The moved up going up to small ledges and then stopped and Roach contacted Fox. "Redcell check your Heartbeat Sensor." He opened it up and Roach continued on. "You should be able to see me on the scope. That blue dot is me. Any unrecognized contacts will show up as white dots." The both began to move up and they were crouching. They both moved up going North and they were next to a landing strip and just then another Wolfen landed. As they moved up they saw two hostiles and Roach spoke. "Redcell these muppets have no idea that we are here, let's take this nice and slow. You take the one on the left." The stopped and aimed and Roach spoke. "On three. One. Two. Three." The both fired and took them out. Roach spoke. "Nice job." The both moved up and took the right side and some how the snow storm started to come in. Roach spoke. "Storm's brewing up." They continued to move up into the blizzard and their was a small ridge and Roach spoke. "Let's split up I'll use the thermal scope and provide overwatch from this ridge. Use the cover of the storm to enter the base. You'll be a ghost in this blizzard, so the guards won't see you until your very close. Keep an eye on your heartbeat sensor. Good luck." Roach climbed up the ridge and set up overwatch and changed the scope on his M14 EBR for the Thermal scope. Fox moved up into the base and the heartbeat sensor was picking up contacts letting him know where he needs to go. For him it was best to try and avoid the patrols. The mission was to destroy the Fuel depot and head for the extraction point to the East. Roach tapped into the enemies comms and contacted Fox. "Alright I've tapped into their comms. Head South East and plant a C4 at the fueling station. If we get compromised we may need to go to Plan B." Fox continued to move up as Roach continued to do overwatch and was able to see with the thermal scope and saw a couple of hostiles that were heading right into Fox's path and Roach contacted him. "Got two contacts. "I'll take care of them." He fired and took them both out. Fox continued to move up. He was approaching another runway and Roach contacted him. "Hold up. I'm seeing some activity on the runway. Looks like 20 plus foot mobiles heading your way." He quickly made a run for it and arrived at the fueling station. Roach contacted Fox. "That's the fueling station. You found it." Fox placed the C4 charge on the fuel station. Just then Roach picked up something on a hanger and contacted Fox. I'm picking up something on the hanger standby." He looked at the hanger from distance and picked something up. "Got it. Looks like their is some intel and some thing that they don't want us to see, it's on the far hanger. Race you their oscar mike. Out." Fox turned around and followed to the path to the hanger and was avoiding the patrols. He reached the far hanger and went to the back and Roach was their and he was no longer using his M14 EBR, he now had an AK47. Roach spoke. "Took the scenic eh? Let's go." The blizzard passed through and the visibility improved. Roach opened the back door and they both went in. They went down a hallway and got to the Hanger and Roach saw a satellite in construction Roach spoke to Fox. "Go upstairs and look for the intel." Fox did what he was told and went upstairs, he entered the offices and saw some documents and gathered them. Just then the hanger doors opened. Roach contacted Fox. "Redcell I've been compromised keep a low profile and hold your fire." Fox returned to the door and then the loud speaker came out saying. "This is Major Stalker, come out with your hands up!" Fox crouched and looked through a small open from the wooden boxes and saw about 10 plus hostiles that were all aiming at Roach and he has his hands up. The Major spoke out on the speaker. "You have five seconds to comply." Roach contacted Fox. "Redcell go to Plan B." The Major began the count down. "Five!" Fox pulled out the detonator. "Four." Fox activated the C4 and it destroyed the fuel depot. All the hostiles turned around to see what exploded. Roach pulled out the 1911 and fired at them and so did Fox. He engaged as well and they took out all of them. More hostiles were on their way and they need to get out now. Roach shouted out to Fox. "Stay close and hug the walls, well us their vehicles for cover and cross the tarmac to the SouthEast!" They both engaged and took out as many hostiles as possible but a LandMaster Tank was heading their way and they need to get out of their. Roach shouted out. "Redcell follow me let's go!" They both began to run to the right and engaged O' Donnell's men and more were coming in. Roach and Fox reached concrete walls for cover and engaged hostiles clearing a path for them to move up. Additional explosions went off. Wolfens were being destroyed since some were connected to the pumps and were refueling. The Wolfens that were destroyed took out any of O' Donnell's men with them. Roach and Fox moved up and were now crossing the runway. They still engaged hostiles and were approaching the LZ and Roach contacted the chopper. "Kilo 3-1 were approaching the exile point it might get hot once you arrive be ready for pick. Do you copy?" The pilot responded. "Alpha 6, roger that were 3 minutes out from the location. Out." They picked up the pace and cleared the path to the landing zone. They ran and hit ridge and slid down to the landing zone. The chopper arrived and it landed and both Fox and Roach got in and the helo lifted off and they were out of the area. The mission is now complete.

Day 2 08:21 hrs

Titian Safe House

Roach was speaking to his squad. "Many of you know need to know that we are on a 7 day mission and it's going to be non stop. We are here in Titian for a reason, were here to capture Cobra. He has intel on Andrew and he may on Wolf as well. Objective is to search for him near militia territory. I will have two of you with me in a vehicle will the other two will follow Black's lead on foot. Civilians will be present in the area but they will know us. The militia will be looking for Cobra's right hand man. He is a dark grey mouse and it's possible that he will be out tomorrow and the militia will send a small team to get him before us and we need to follow the team to get to Cobra's right hand man." The team didn't say anything at all but they knew what they were going to do. Until then they needed to wait for tomorrow and this was going to be a tough assignment. Fox was ready and so was the squad.

Took me a while to get this done. Sorry about that. Don't really have much to say. Enjoy what's up right now and i'll get to work on the next part soon. Signing off.
