Corneria

Krystal felt Fox's presence in Papetoon and she could feel that he was fading and it wasn't good at all, she had tears in her eyes. Fox's was dying and their wasn't anything she could do about it. She could see his pain that he's in and it's costing him his life. All she could do was wait and hope that he survives his terrible wound that he has currently.

Hours later

Near Safe House, Papetoon

Fox could hear his heart beating and then he slowly woke. He looked to his left and saw the chopper but he noticed that he's on a stretcher. He then looked to the right and saw Roach, but he somehow had different clothes and gear on. Roach was now wearing a light grey long sleeve shirt, sand digital camo cargo pants, black tactical boots, and tan tactical gloves. He had on his sand kryptek camo balaclava plus a sand kryptek camo boonie hat. Plus he has a tactical knee pad on his right knee. He also had his sleeves folded back a bit passed the risk. He had a custom load out which was designed with a shoulder holster and it was connected with ammo pouches on both sides that go around the belt line. The tactical belt had a right leg double M4/M16 double stack pouches. Roach had his 1911A2 on his holster. Fox noticed the multiple tats that he has on both arms and hands. He remembered seeing them back when they were searching for Cobra. He also saw that he had his black shirt, sand camo cargo pants, and sand tactical boots. He saw the bandages wrapped around his chest where he was stabbed hours ago.

Roach shouted out to Nikolai. "Get him inside!" Nikolai came to the left side of the stretcher. He was different as well wearing a navy shirt, kahki cargo pants, black tactical boots, and black tactical boots. He had on a tactical vest which wasn't bullet proof. He had on a black cap and head set comms. They both began to push the stretcher and Fox entered a flashback. He saw his very first mission as an operative saw Roach as they were approaching the target area. He then pulled out and saw that they were on the streets and Nikolai spoke. "The safe house is up ahead." Roach shouted. "Keep moving!" Fox saw other soldiers which were Venom Loyalists. He entered another flashback an this one was one that near cost them their lives. Fox looked to his left as he was on the ground and Roach slid his 1911A1 to Fox before collapsing completely. He aimed the pistol to one Andrew's Generals and fired. Fox snapped back into reality and saw that they were inside the safe house and in the hallways. Roach shouted to two Loyalists. "Out of the way! Get a doctor!" The two Loyalists moved out of the way and two others opened the doors for them and Fox fell into another flashback. This one was the recent mission and Roach shouted to him. "Back up, back up!" Then they both took fall into the river and Fox returned from the flash back and Roach spoke to Nikolai. "Keep pressure on that wound!" Nikolai responded. "I'm trying!" He had his hand on his chest trying to put as much pressure to stop the bleeding, he placed his other hand on top of the current one and added more pressure and spoke to Fox. "Hang in their my friend!" Fox entered another flashback and this was when he pulled out the knife that Wolf stabbed him with and threw it to his eye, but then it went in reverse and he was out of the flashback and was now in a room. He was fading and they stopped the stretcher and Roach ran up to the doctor and spoke. "He needs help now!" The doctor ran up to Fox and began to work on him but Fox's eyes closed and he stopped breathing.

Nikolai spoke. "We're losing him. Charging three, two, one. Clear!" Nikolai had the emergency A.E.D and placed the pads on Fox's chest and hoping that his heart will respond to the electric shock but the first hit wasn't a go. He kept trying it again, Fox wasn't going to die here.

A few minutes laters Nikolai spoke to Roach. "Sir we got vital signs, but their weak. Redcell won't last without proper attention." Roach responded. "He's a hard baster trust me he'll make it." Just then radar alert was going off and a Loyalist spoke. "We're picking up inbound signatures." Nikolai spoke. "We've got company." Roach knew who it was and spoke. "It's Andrew. He's tying up loose ends. Who's your best man? Nikolai spoke. "Ajay ex-Venom member. Only man I know who hates Andross more than you." Roach spoke as the signatures were getting closers to the safe house. "Get him we'll use the ridge line for cover and fly in from the south." Nikolai looked at him and nodded and he contacted Ajay to meet them on the floor they were at. Andrew's assault was about to commence and the Loyalist were arming up and getting ready for this assault that he has coming to them.

Ambush!

Loyalist Safe House, Papetoon

Their tons of contacts going all over the area getting every Loyalist ready. Nikolai spoke out through the hallway. "Ajay! Ajay over here." Loyalist Ajay came in with about the same gear as Nikolai. He had a dark grey long sleeve shirt, khaki cargo pants, black tactical boots and black tactical gloves. He was armed with and AK-47 secondary Desert Eagle. He saw Fox and Fox grabbed hold of his gear and coughed while Roach spoke. "We need to get Redcell to the chopper." Fox let go of Ajay, he was exhausted and the doctor got back to work stitching up his chest. Nikolai spoke. "What is that?" Their was an engine noise and it was very close just then it room that they were in and it knocked all of them down. It was an enemy arming and the Loyalists mush have shot it down. Roach spoke as they all got up. "Is everyone alright?" The doctor got up and returned to finish stitching up Fox's wound. The arwing fell into the courtyard and Nikolai moved to Ajay as Roach took position by the breached. Roach was armed with an H&K G36KV with Integrated Scope. The scope was 2x zoom which works great for nearly long range. Nikolai spoke to Ajay. "Do whatever this man says."

Roach spoke. "Ajay! Take position on the balcony we need to by the doctor some time! Keep your eyes on the courtyard." Two transport ships dropped troops near the gate of the courtyard. Loyalist troops were ready for anything. They all wore long sleeve shirts, cargo pants, black tactical boots, and black tactical gloves. Some had the tactical vest while others had the assault chest rig. Those with the assault chest rigs were either armed with the AK-47, G36C, M16A3, ACR, or the M4A1. They choose their own attachments if they wanted to place them on their weapons. Those with the tactical vest were armed with LMGs such as the M249 SAW, M240B, MK46, MG36, or the PKP Pecheneg.

The Loyalist were ready for the attack. Then it happened. The gate was breached and the hostiles moved into the courtyard. The Loyalists opened fire and Roach shouted. "They've breached the courtyard! Take them out! We need to hold them off until we can move Redcell!" Ajay was on the balcony giving out support engaging hostiles that were trying to break through the courtyard and some hostiles were on the roofs as well. Enemy air support was passing by doing strafing runs to try and give Andross' men breathing room. An arwing took it's position and fired it's shots. He hit the doctor and Nikolai spoke and shouted for Ajay. "The doctor's down! Ajay, I need your help!" Ajay moved to help Nikolai. Fox was trying to get up but Nikolai was holding him down. Ajay came up and Nikolai spoke to him. "Give him the shot." Ajay grabbed an injection shot that would put Fox to sleep instantly and keep his heart stable. He stabbed the needle into his upper chest and and injected the shot. Fox fell to sleep and then a hostile came into the room. Nikolai turned around and aimed his AK-47 at him. Roach got to him and knocked his weapon off of him and pushed him into the wall, he grabbed a Desert Eagle and shot him in the head. Roach spoke. "Their on the roof, we've got to get Redcell out of here." Nikolai responded. "I've got him." Nikolai picked up Fox and Roach spoke to Ajay. "Ajay your with me!" Ajay moved up to him as they headed towards the hallway. Nikolai followed them but stayed at distance.

In the hallway their was another hostile, but two more swung in and breached the windows. Roach and Ajay engaged them, Andross' men returned fire as well. They needed to group up with the other Loyalists that were trying to clear the courtyard. They both cleared the hallway and Roach moved to the door which leads to the exit towards the courtyard.

Roach and Ajay went down the stairs and grouped up with the other Loyalists clearing the courtyard. Casualties were high on both sides, but more of Andross' men were on their way and it was about to get harder. A Loyalist contacted the others. "We're pinned down in the streets, we need reinforcements!" Roach knew that this was turning bad. The last few hostiles were in the area and the Loyalists took them out. A Loyalist shouted out. "The courtyard's clear!" Roach and Ajay moved up to the metal door and Roach saw an enemy drone above and it flew by and he spoke. "Enemy drone overhead! We're out numbered and outgunned! We need some heavier firepower!" He loaded a new mag to his G36KV and Nikolai contacted him. "Their's a weapons cache near at the edge of town. We have a UGV stored their." Roach spoke. "Then will use it to get to the chopper. Let's move." He kicked the door open and they saw civilians running up the road and Roach shouted out. "Hold fire civilians!" They both went down the stairs and the Loyalists followed them. As the last civilians were coming up, three hostiles were walking up the road shooting at them.

Roach and Ajay fired at the three hostiles taking them out and the Loyalists moved up as well. Roach contacted Nikolai. "Nikolai hang back, protect Redcell!" More hostiles were coming and a transport ship arrived and a rope fell and more hostiles were roping down onto the street. Roach, Ajay and the other Loyalists got to cover and engaged the hostiles and Andross' men engaged as well.

Roach and Ajay clear the alley and a building on the right, but up ahead Roach saw something and shouted out. "Machine gunner on the balcony! Take him out!" Up ahead their were two balconies on a building and Roach saw a mounted heavy machine gun and it was one of Andrew's newest weapon he has now. It nearly looked like a .50 cal machine gun. The hostile that was on the machine gun was firing at them. Ajay picked up a PKP that was on the ground and deployed it on a destroyed car and fired at the gunner. Three more hostiles were on the balcony as well and Ajay engaged all of them.

All hostiles on the balconies were down and the Loyalists moved up and split into three different directions. Some using the alley way, others using the house which had windows looking toward the right of the street that leads to where the chopper was, others followed Roach and Ajay down the street and took the right where heavy resistance was waiting for them.

Just up ahead was the the path to the left that leads to the chopper and where the UGV is as well. First they needed to clear out the street to get to where they need to be. Roach shouted out. "The drone's doing another pass!" The drone flew pass doing another run. Roach and Ajay continued to engage hostiles and their were three more on a roof past a blockade that was in flames. Ajay engaged the hostiles that were on the roof tops of the building.

Most of the hostiles were down, but their were still plenty left to take out. Most of the Loyalists moved up and assisted Roach and Ajay to clear out the rest and hold the area. Roach and Nikolai were running out of time and Fox needed attention soon or he will die.

Roach, Ajay and the Loyalists clear the area and they all moved to the gate with Nikolai not too far behind carrying Fox. Roach shouted out. "The chopper's this way!" They stopped near the gate and past the gate were more hostiles, three mounted heavy machine guns with hostiles on them, and an enemy arwing engaging as well. Nikolai contacted Roach as two loyalists with shotgun load outs and armed with SPAS-12s. "The weapons are in a building directly ahead." Roach responded. "Their's too many of them between us and the chopper! Nikolai we need that UGV now!" Nikolai responded. "Your almost there. Go through that building." Roach spoke to Ajay. "Ajay! This way!" Ajay followed Roach and one of the Loyalist's kicked the door opened and they moved inside. They moved towards the door and the two loyalists got their shotguns ready. One shot the door knob off and the other spoke out as he shot two hinges. "Breaching!" He then kicked it down and they all advanced. The two Loyalists covered the street while Roach and Ajay moved down the road towards the building. Roach spoke. "Hold up this is it." He opened the door and signaled Ajay to follow and Nikolai contacted him. "The UGV is in a shipping crate directly below you." Roach opened the basement door and they went down the stairs and Roach had a flashlight and found the crate and Roach contacted Nikolai. "I see it." He got a carte rod and opened the crate and pulled out the UGV and spoke. "Unmanned Ground Vehicle. 2 centimeter armor plating, mounted mini gun explosive rounds, and grenade launcher."

Ajay saw the controls and Roach spoke. "Controls are going to be in Russian. Nikolai told me you know Russian, Ajay your up." Ajay moved towards the controls for the UGV and began to access the controls for the final advance towards the chopper. Roach contacted Nikolai. "Nikolai, what's Redcell's condition?" Nikolai responded. "We've got to get him out of here." Ajay connected to the UGV and the camera came on and Roach spoke. "Ajay clear a path to the chopper, will be right behind." Roach opened the garage door and Ajay drove the UGV out and Roach spoke. "That mini gun will punch through any wall." Ajay spun up the mini gun and aimed towards the hostiles that were on the machine gun nest and opened fire on them. The hostiles were taken out very quick and then he aimed for the arwing and fired at it. The arwing began to spin out and descend. Air support was down for now and Ajay moved the UGV up. More hostiles were coming up the road and Ajay kept the mini gun spinning and fired at the oncoming hostiles.

Roach, and Nikolai were not too far behind. Ajay continued to advance the UGV and cleared the way towards the chopper. Hostiles were starting to fall back and they didn't have the firepower to take out the UGV.

Ajay got the UGV right where Roach needs it and he contacted Ajay. "Ajay were moving up! Keep them pinned down! Keep pushing to the chopper!" Ajay got the UGV into position near the chopper and spun up the mini gun and fired at the hostiles that were coming. Their were a lot of hostiles coming in nonstop and Ajay kept firing with the mini gun. Two more enemy transport ships were coming in with more hostiles. Ajay aimed for the transports and fired the grenade launcher towards the air ships and hitting them. The ships were destroyed and Ajay turned the turret back to the hostiles and fired the mini gun at the hostiles.

A couple of minutes later the area was clear and Ajay protected the chopper and saw through the camera Roach and Nikolai carrying Fox as they got to the chopper. Roach contacted Ajay. "Were at the chopper! Loading Redcell in now!" Nikolai spoke. "He's not looking good." The UGV's radar picked up a Missile Alert system and Roach shouted out. "Drone inbound!" A missile was fired from the drone destroying the UGV and that was it for it. Ajay got off the control rig and Roach contacted him. "Ajay run to the chopper move!" As he exited the weapons cache multiple incoming rounds were hitting all over the area and Roach contacted him. "Go! Go!" Ajay continued to run, as he approached the helo, he entered a concrete platform and the drone the platform with a missile destroying it and Roach shouted. "Look out!" The drone flew by Ajay as he tried to get a hold of something but fell down the hill and was sliding of the mountain and took a fall into the rapids. Nikolai was already in the air and flew near the rapids and they saw Ajay. However he was underwater again and they lost sight of him. Ajay grabbed hold of a branch and pulled himself out of the rapid and was on shore.

Nikolai spoke to Roach. "There he is their's Ajay." Roach spoke. "Good. We'll need him. When the time comes, we'll be going for Andrew." Fox woke up and spoke. "Who the hell is Ajay."

48 hours later

Corneria Hospital

20:21 hrs

Krystal entered Fox's room and she saw that he was still out. She saw that their was some one else with him, it was his father and his young son and they were asleep. She looked at the heart monitor and she saw that his heart rate is normal. She was glad to see him finally but she felt that now was the time that they will meet once again. She walked up to his right side of the bed and pulled out a folded paper and placed it in his right hand and she saw his chest wrapped up and could tell that when he got here, he was taken into emergency surgery to be stitched up completely and it almost cost him his life but he did survive and was now resting. Krystal was in tears as she gently placed her hand on his chest and could see the pain that he went through three days ago. She gently kissed his forehead and spoke softly. "When your well enough Fox. Come find me in Sauria. I'll be waiting for you." She then left the room and left the hospital. Fox will soon be awake and when he does, he'll see Krystal again, but first he has regains his strength and recover from his surgery. For Fox it's going to be a while until he returns to duty but at least he knows that he's got some time off to be with his family.
