Remedy's POV

Turk and Remedy are inside of a van being driven by the Russians. Both are handcuffed and being watched by a Russian soldier, as both of them are being transported to Sudorov's base

Russian Soldier: Look at you two, such a shame that you lost in a war that you were forced to fight in. Should've listened to us in the first place

Remedy: At least we're not murderous pigs like you, I'd rather die than join your club of serial killers

Angered, the Russian soldier hits Remedy in the face with the butt stock of his AK. Turk tried to defend but is helpless to this situation

Turk: You touch her one more time and-

Russian Soldier: Please, I'm trying to conserve my bullets here, so be respectful, da?

Silence followed the next moment. While the convoy is driving through a small narrow road, an explosion destroyed the two UAZs at the front and back. The explosion puts the entire convoy into alert as the Russians try to communicate on what is going on

Russian Soldier: *in Russian* Hey, what the fuck's going on?

Russian Soldier #2: *in Russian* I don't fucking know! I-

The Russian soldier gets killed by a sniper shot, while the other Russian that was guarding the two EGO prisoners steps out of the van and loads his AK. Meanwhile, Turk was able to free himself by cutting his zip tie with a Swiss Army knife, once that he quickly tackled the Russian soldier, stabbing him in the hip, then in the neck twice, then finally in the chest. Turk grabbed the AK and the X16, which he gave to Remedy

Turk: Looks like the Russians are distracted, I'd say we make a run for it while we can

Remedy: Who's rescuing us?

Turk: No idea, but whoever it is, he or she's helping, now come on

While the Russians are trying to find the attackers, Turk and Remedy dash through the dense forest as fast as they phisically can

Turk: Don't stop running!

The Russians found out that the prisoners are missing and has ordered a small patrol to pursue them. Turk and Remedy takes shelter in a small abandoned shed to catch their breath from all that running

Turk: You alright?

Remedy: *pants* I'm okay

Turk: We need to regroup with what's left of EGO

Remedy: I don't know, ALTER and the Russians might know where we all are, for now I guess

Turk: We can't lose hope yet, we need to-

Russian Soldier: *in Russian* CONTACT!

Turk: Get down!

Bullets pierce through the old dilapidating drywall of the shed, thankfully none of the bullets hit either the two of them. Once the gunfire was done, a Russian soldier checks the shed for the two, but as he crept closer and closer, Turk and Remedy retaliates at the Russians with a volley of fire, and everyone rushed to cover, as a full on gunfight began. Turk fires short burst from his AK to conserve ammo while the Russians blind spray their rifles while on cover, Remedy manages to shoot a Russian that tried to flank them from the side. More Russians came and Turk and Remedy are running low on ammunition

Turk: How much do you have left?

Remedy: Down at two mags, you?

Turk: Got two AK mags as well, make it count

Turk and Remedy continued defending their ground from the Russian squad but seemed like they were getting slowly overrun. As more Russians kept coming and coming, a sniper fire takes out the Russians one by one. At first, Turk is confused on who's killing the Russians, but at the same time is relieved. The identity is revealed when the assassin shanked the last Russian multiple times in the chest cavity, the assassin is none other than Riptide, Turk's dad and an agent of ALTER, until now

Turk: D-Dad?

Riptide: Hi, Son. Haven't met in a long time *chuckles*

Remedy: Sorry, but what's going on?

Riptide: I'm Riptide, Turk's number one dad

Turk: Dad, I thought you're with ALTER

Riptide: I was the enemy, yes, but after seeing Sudorov and his band of psychos, and the fact that Chaos Agent is with him, yeah that made me sick to my stomach

Turk: So you quit ALTER?

Riptide: ALTER is the only place where I belong. Yes, I may have done something terrible at the past, but when Sudorov came, things just changed. Son, I'm sorry for what I've done, I did this just so I could prove to you that I'm not a coward dad and that I raised you for nothing

Turk: Dad, I

Voices of the Russian soldiers can be heard at the distance

Riptide: Looks like we gotta go

Turk: Alright then

Remedy: So, hello?

Riptide: Save it, now come on, we need to find a place where we can lay low

Turk: Right behind you

The trio then leaves the area, fleeing from the incoming Russian patrols

Pvt. Sokolov's POV

Journey, 8-Ball, Pvt. Sokolov, and Rippley continues their hike to the secret bunker, with Journey leading the way

Pvt. Sokolov: How much longer?

Journey: Almost there, we just need to get to the southern edge of this forest

8-Ball: Any luck Rippley?

Rippley taps the radio with his hand

Rippley: Nothing, comms are still down

Journey: Maybe if we're off of this forest, the frequency might be up and we can contact the rest of EGO

Meanwhile, Pvt. Sokolov is humming to the tune of Kalinka, a Russian folk song

Rippley: Igor?

Pvt. Sokolov: Huh, what?

Rippley: Uhh, nothing

Pvt. Sokolov: Oh, okay

Pvt. Sokolov resumes humming

Journey: Okay, once we pass this river here, we can then-

A man in a ghillie suit, armed with an EBR-14, pops out and aims at the EGO squad, in which all of their hands are raised up

Ghillie Sniper: Identify yourself!

Journey: W-Woah, hey, easy now

Ghillie Sniper: EGO or ALTER? Answer now!

Journey is nervous because she might think that the ghillie sniper is an enemy, while Pvt. Sokolov at the back is slowly reaching for his handgun

Journey: Uhh, EGO?

Upon hearing the words, the ghillie sniper lowers his rifle and grabs his radio

Ghillie Sniper: Command, this is 3-1, be advised I found an EGO squad here, looks like the same people from the main HQ

EGO Sergeant: Copy that, bring them in

Ghillie Sniper: Affirmative

The ghillie sniper talks to the EGO squad

Ghillie Sniper: Come with me

The EGO squad follows the ghillie sniper and leads them to a small cave entrance, protected by a steel blast door. The ghillie sniper enters a code in a keypad, and after the access was granted, the blast doors opened and everyone entered

Ghillie Sniper: Go, while you can

Journey: Thank you

Once the steel doors shut close behind them, the EGO squad proceed through a long hallway

Pvt. Sokolov: Is this the place?

8-Ball: Yes, this is it

Journey: It ain't much, but it's all we got

Rippley: I wonder if the others made it here

Journey: Only one way to find out

The EGO squad enters the main part of the bunker, with some surviving EGO soldiers inside

EGO Soldier: You made it

Pvt. Sokolov: What happened to you?

EGO Soldier: We got hit, hard. Sudorov's men were simply too much for us, though we managed to burn down our base so they can't salvage anything

Cameo enters and finds the EGO squad

Cameo: Guys! You're here!

Journey: Cameo, I'm glad you're still alive

Cameo: Hey, it's gonna take more than that to put this girl to rest

Pvt. Sokolov: Is everyone here?

Cameo: Well, it's just me, Chic, and these poor blokes here. I haven't seen Turk or Remedy

Pvt. Sokolov: Shit

Pvt. Sokolov felt downed after that

Journey: Don't worry, we'll find them together

8-Ball: It's good to have everyone here, at least

Cameo: Oh, yes indeed

2 Weeks Later

Pvt. Sokolov is inside the barracks of the bunker, again writing his journal, trying to keep up on the recent events that unfolded. He taps his pencil on the railings of the bunk as he's thinking on what should we write, trying to remember what happened so he can write it down, when all of a sudden

Cameo: Guys!

Cameo barged through the door, while Pvt. Sokolov concealed his journal

Cameo: Igor

Pvt. Sokolov: Da?

Cameo: You need to see this

Concerned, Pvt. Sokolov gets up from his bunk and follows Cameo. Once they made it to the main hub, they finally met Turk, Remedy, and Riptide

Pvt. Sokolov: Remedy!

Remedy: Igor, you're okay

Pvt. Sokolov looked surprised as she saw her again since the EGO Base attack. But his excitement is halted when he sees Riptide

Pvt. Sokolov: And you

Riptide: What now?

Pvt. Sokolov: What do you want from us?

Remedy: Don't worry, Igor, he's on our side

Riptide: For now *chuckles*

Riptide said in a humurous manner, but Pvt. Sokolov remained with a suspicious look at him

Turk: Everyone, I'm happy that we are all back. But save the celebrations for the next day, because Chaos Agent and Col. Sudorov are out there, threatening the cause of this Island, don't let the defeat overwhelm you, don't let their hundreds of troops weaken you because no matter how many advantages they have, we will never yield to them. We have been beaten and broken for far too many times at their own hands, now is the time that we do the same to them, now is the time to end their conquest of doom, it's time for EGO to rise up and fight
