Love Struck Delusion
Chapter 50 – But Did We Gain So Little?
Wreak's POV, Iraq Border.
Archer stayed in the control room with and two other men. He couldn't be seen bleeding by anyone outside here. If G.U.N finds out this border is under Rebellion control we will be in some trouble. Dressed as a G.U.N officer, I looked to my men who were also dressed up to ask.
"See anyone around?"
Shaking their heads, I nodded and made my way back to the control room. As I entered Archer asked.
"How's it going out there?"
"Good." I replied as I approached.
"Char should be back at HQ with Hunter by now."
Nodding Archer went to ask.
"You think he'll..?"
As I prepared myself for the question we were both cut off by my comm going off.
"Wreak come in. It's Raptor."
Archer widened his eyes as I went to comm to reply.
"Wreak here. What's going on Commander?"
With the two other men looking to us, he replied.
"Monroe is dead. But I've been made. I'll look for a way out but I need the rest of the men who are not on the border to get working on step two. You copy?"
The feeling around the room was one I haven't felt in such a long time. Breaking out from the shear emotion in my mind I replied while heading for the door.
"Copy that! Just hold on!"
Exiting back out to the border in such a frenzy, everyone looked to me. I couldn't help but shout.
"General Monroe is dead! The commander did it! We're starting step two!"
Everyone cheered as I went to my comm to change channels.
"Border has been secure and General Monroe is dead! I repeat Monroe is dead! All Rebellion on stand by start phase two! Push the Capital! Keep an eye out for the commander and get him out of there!"
Looking around after giving the order, I smiled to the cheers still going on to make my way down to my Humvee.
I had to help the commander and the other troops now pushing the gate. Please hold on Raptor. Don't die.
Archer's POV.
I sat here in utter shock. Raptor actually did it. I can't believe it.
With the two men with me still celebrating, I tried to control myself. Is he really taking back Iraq?
Raptor's POV, Iraq Capital Building.
Looking to Monroe who now left a pile of blood rolling along the wood floor, I readied his revolver to put away my own M1911.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! General Monroe!"
With officers and soldiers alike at the door, I let out a breath to approach the handle.
"We're coming in sir!" A man shouted as I quickly went behind the door.
"Bash! Bash! BASH!"
Snapping the wooden lock, the door was kicked open and I waited quietly behind it as an officer came in to state.
"He's dead! Raise the alarm! The General has been killed...!?"
Spinning the corner to grab the officer by the neck, I aimed the revolver at the door to see four other men caught off guard by the sudden state of the situation among them.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Emptying the revolver into two of the closest men in front of me. I dropped the gun, to then kick the officer I held forward making him collapse into one of the officers remaining.
With the second man completely shocked by the event, I drew my M1911 to fire a round into his neck.
"Toof!"
Quickly falling to the floor, I looked back to the two stumbling men on the ground to unload the rest of my clip into their defenseless backs.
"Aghhh! Stop! Aghhhh! Ugh!"
Suffering as I blew into their spines, I took my chance to reload. But as my clip left my gun and I went to grab another one, I looked up to see the men from the stairs making their way into the hall to see me standing there.
"Intruder! Open fire! He's Rebellion!"
Widening my eyes as they aimed at me with their rifles. I took a step back into the room to be immediately shot at.
Tripping over Monroe as I went to go to the side of the door, I dropped into an oncoming bullet.
"Ughh! Fuck!" I shouted as I now sat to the side of the door.
Letting out a thick breath, I looked down to my vest to see the round went through partially. I felt the blood spilling out of my stomach as I now pulled out a fresh clip for my gun."
Sending the receiver forward, I looked out the door to see the soldiers moving in on my position. This was not going to be easy.
Getting back on my feet, I waited as one of them turned the corner with his rifle up towards my face.
"BANG! BANG!"
Pushing it up as two rounds barely missed my face, I push my pistol to his side to fire off.
"Toof! Toof! Toof!"
Instantly falling into the door, I took control over his CAR-4 to aim out the door.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Laying into another soldier, I pulled back into the room to grab my side. Fuck it hurt like hell. I've never been shot in the stomach before. I heard it was bad, but shit this was not what I was expecting. I can't afford to take another.
With the remaining soldiers pulling back into the hallway they came from, I took my chance to grab an extra mag off the now dead soldier who's rifle I was using.
After placing it in the side of my vest, I took another look into the hall to widen my eyes.
Wreak's POV, Outside The Capital Building.
"Hit them now before they have time to regroup!" I ordered over my comm as I watched one of our trucks drive into the gate.
With the alarm raised without a doubt, I ordered the rest of the Rebellion.
"Drive them out! Iraq will be ours tonight!"
I never got the chance to thank Char. Him and his friends rallied more then a group of men. They found a small army. Counting as truck after truck drove into the Capital courtyard, I soon ran in behind them to join the fighting. G.U.N sure had the numbers to match but we were going to give them hell. I had to get to the commander.
With the main gate dealt with, I opened fire with a squad of Rebellion soldiers. Leading the way now, I shouted.
"Push for the main door! Don't let them breathe!"
Raptor's POV.
Hearing shoots from everywhere; inside and out the Capital, I looked back out into the hall to hear.
"The Rebellion is attacking! They made it through the main gate!"
Now with more then a squad here to handle me, I heard the commanding officer order.
"Get out there and stop them! You three stay here and help me deal with the intruder!"
"Yes sir!"
Watching as most of them ran off, I widened my eyes as the officer reveled himself to be a black armored trooper.
"Shit!" I muttered to myself as I heard from the same man.
"You're trapped! Give it up now! You will not live pass today for killing the General and you know it!"
"Fuck you!" I shouted back as I looked to my belt to grab a flashbang and a smoke.
Pulling the pin on the smoke, I quickly threw it out the door to hear go off in a matter of seconds.
"It won't help you! You're not getting pass me!"
With the soldiers devoured in smoke now, but their focus still on the door, I quickly tossed the flash in front of them in the smoke itself. Unaware of the trick, I ran out the second it went off the blind them.
Aiming at the small group, I unloaded the rest of the clip in the rifle to keep moving forward.
With everyone ether hit or killed but the officer, I approached him to go for my spare mag as he was still blind from the flash.
As I placed the clip in the gun, I was caught off guard when the officer ran forward to collide into me.
Sending me on my back under the smoke, I quickly rolled to the right to go for my blade.
"Where are you!?" He asked in anger as I sent the knife in his leg.
"AGHHH! Fuck!" He shouted as he immediately looked down to open fire with his rifle.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
With the rounds not even in my direction, I stood back up to jump on his back.
"Ugh! Aghhh! I'm gonna kill you; you fuck!"
Spinning around as I hung on by his neck, I used what force and position I had to slam my blade in his chest. His armor was so thick it took almost all my power to jam it through the Kevlar.
Now in a problem, the officer used all his strength to throw me off and into the nearby wall.
"You bitch!" He shouted as my head spun from the landing.
Pulling my blade out of his chest, I panicked as he sent it forward with a sharp throw.
Moving to the side as fast as I could. The blade hit the wall next to me. Grabbing it, I sent it back. The officer was completely caught off guard as it landed in his other leg.
"AUGHHH!"
Falling forward, the man landed on me.
Grabbing his M9 that was in his holster, I aimed it at his neck to be instantly grabbed by the wrist.
Pushing the gun back up at my head, I ducked to the left as the trigger went off.
"BANG!"
Hitting the wall behind me, I pushed back on the gun to raise it back to his helmet.
"BANG!"
Shattering the glass, I saw his green eyes staring back at me in fear.
"BANG!"
With blood splashing my face and a bullet sent between his eyes, I let out a gasp off air to push him off me and to the ground below the smoke that was now retracting from the area.
Taking back my knife and putting it in my vest, I struggled to my feet.
"Ahhh fuck me." I said to myself as I looked back at the armored soldier.
"BANG!"
Widening my eyes instantly as a bullet hit me in the back of my vest, I turned as fast as I could while falling to fire off a round of my M1911.
"Toof!"
Hitting one of the downed soldiers who I must have only injured from before. I watched in pain as he fell on his back dead.
"Ughhh." Groaning as I released my gun, I tried to focus now on only the pain.
I felt blood dripping out of my vest. Placing my hand back there, I let out another grunt of pain as it was clear that round went through cleanly.
Unable to move, I fell back down to stay there.
"Commander where are you!?"
With Wreak coming through my comm I replied with some blood in my mouth.
"Upstairs. You'll see the bodies."
Wreak's POV.
Pushing through the main door, I ordered everyone.
"Span out and secure the area! G.U.N is on the run!"
With my men spreading out, it was clear this was our battle. Most of the soldiers here were not ready for this attack. Most ran, but those who stayed were dead.
Looking to the main stairs, I ran up with a team to kick open Monroe's office door.
"Commander!?"
With the office in perfect condition, I ran back out to go left. I could see remnants of a smoke grenade and as I neared; I saw dead G.U.N among the hall.
"Raptor!" I shouted as I turned the corner to see more bodies. None moved, but as I walked on I saw him laying next to an armored G.U.N officer, I widened my eyes to see he was okay.
"Commnader!" I shouted as I got down next to him to ask.
"You hit!?"
Nodding he replied.
"Yeah. Help me up."
"Yes sir." I replied as he offered me his hand.
Taking his hand, I pulled him on my shoulder till he was on his feet. From looking at him it was clear he was hurt. But pushing off me he asked.
"Is everything secured?"
Nodding I replied.
"Border is ours and the men are clearing the rest of the building. It will be ours soon sir."
"Good. Help them finish, then set up a perimeter. I want no G.U.N in my city understood!?"
"Yes sir!" I replied as I watched him head for the stairs.
Looking around at the massacre I widened my eyes at Monroe who was resting on the floor in his room. I smiled and let out a chuckle as my men went after the commander.
Raptor's POV.
Clenching my stomach as I proceeded down the stairs, I got looks from basically everyone who was new to the Rebellion I was making here today. None of them knew it yet but things were about to change. Starting tomorrow, Iraq will be under our control. It would then be time to focus on Pakistan and Linnen. But with this many troops now I knew we wouldn't get far. I would need to stick to my word and go public with the treaty. With all that, it wouldn't be long till most of the city was ready to fight back.
"Commander!" Stopping in my tracks as I was called upon by a fellow Rebel, I looked over into his eyes to ask.
"What is it?"
"I got word from the border team sir. G.U.N is on the run."
Nodding I replied.
"Good. Do me a favor kid and take a team out tonight and get the word around. And if you see any G.U.N you have my blessing to deal with them. Understood?"
"Yes sir." He replied as he turned to leave.
Continuing my way to the front door, I proceeded outside to be followed by Wreak. He came in front of me to ask.
"What now Commander?"
Looking to my comrade, I replied.
"I'm heading back to HQ to get everyone in the process of moving. I want any troops we have to bunker down here. This will be our new command center. Help with the clean up and get everyone settled in. I'll be back soon with the gear and everyone else. Get a team on the border right away and tell Archer to get his ass down here to help you. I want teams draw up and men you think are capable of being leaders. We need to start building this army right away. While all that is going on, I'll go live with the treaty and my speech."
"You have a speech?" He questioned as I shook my head to replied.
"Just words from my heart. Hopefully Iraq will hear it and join us."
"I'm sure they will now that Monroe is dead Commander. The Rebellion is alive and even Linnen will see it." Stated Wreak as I nodded and changed the subject.
"Just get everything here going. I'll be back soon."
"Yes sir." He replied as I stopped myself from leaving to add.
"Oh and do me a favor."
"What?" He wondered as I looked back to his eyes.
"Check the fire escape. Someone is there I want to talk to. Don't hurt him. He's a good kid."
Confused but not about to disobey me, Wreak replied.
"Got it Commander. I'll get to work right away."
"I'm counting on you Wreak." I stated as I turned to head for a nearby Humvee.
Watching as I got in, I proceeded to shut the door and drive out the gate.
As I now drove, I took a moment to look around. People who heard all the shooting were outside the gate looking in at us. I don't know what they were thinking, but it looked hopeful. I'll find out soon if I'm doing things right. I'm not Shadow, but I wana be someone to this country. I wana do something for everyone who follows me as their leader. I wana be the one who changes history.
With my path still set for the HQ, I soon would pull up to it's hidden pathway. Inside I hoped to break the good news to Marx. I'm sure he wasn't looking forward to see me in this state, but that's why I love him. He'll let this one slide I'm sure.
mT Shadow.
