Love Struck Delusion
Chapter 64 – To Lose It All.
Char's POV, Desert.
I watched as some beefed up echidna almost took Raptor's head off. That guy had to be the officer. I could kill him right now, but...there is no chance I would live if I did. With my Rebellion vest in the sand next to me, I decided now was my time to leave. I had to get to the main road. I could treat my injuries there.
It would be a hell of a walk though. I could die here...like my brothers.
Letting my eyes watch as Raptor was dragged off to a Humvee, I checked the rest of my gear. My phone was broken from the crash. And most of my ammo was shot from the impact as well.
"Fuck." I muttered as I dumped whatever I didn't need. Down to my belt which now held both my M9 and Raptor's gun, I took my chance to run. I couldn't save the Commander now. He was gone.
With the Humvee leaving, I began to go north. I had to get to Mason.
Commander Drake Linnen's POV, Pakistan Capital, 45 Minutes Later.
I stood at the entrance to the capital. I had gotten word of something great. Something I didn't believe until my Lieutenant stepped out of his Humvee with him on his hip.
Raptor Voltz. A man I've been waiting to meet personally.
Slowly limping towards me with the help of my men, I said to Young.
"You did a great job Lieutenant. Leave Voltz with me. Come around my office later so we can talk."
"Yes sir." He replied as I watched him leave.
Handing Voltz over to one of his men, I asked.
"You hurt Votlz? You don't look too good."
"Fuck you." He replied as I laughed.
"Haha! You are in the most fucked up position of your life here and you still defy me!? You have some balls! It's no wonder your the man I've been hearing so much about! Tell me Voltz...did Monroe die like the pig he was?"
Raptor looked to me as I awaited his answer.
"Just wait. You can ask him yourself."
Biting my tongue, I sent my fist into his stomach.
"Akkk!" Gagging as he was dropped to the floor below my feet, I quickly kicked him in the side of the face.
"Bash!"
Rolling to his back I asked.
"What's it like being down there smart ass? You wana keep pissing me off?"
I was amazed when he began to laugh.
"Hehehe...your real good at kicking people while their down Linnen. Why am I not surprised you G.U.N fuck."
I had men watching from all around the capital as I was disrespected in such a manner.
"You think your doing any good for this world huh? You think I'm here to fuck up your lives?"
"You already have." He replied as I shouted.
"G.U.N is here for the Middle East! We are here to protect you and your kind and we are here to help you develop a sense of morals!"
"You can put it anyway you like Linnen. But we both know your here to take back what you lost all those years ago." Stated Voltz as I replied.
"Maybe your right. But no one can see it but you. Maybe that's why your the way you are Voltz. Your insane and you make others believe your bullshit. I wish I could change your outlook on us. But we both know your too far gone to change."
Looking at me, Voltz replied.
"Your right. I am insane. Guess you just have to kill me huh?"
Giving him a chuckle I replied.
"You wish it was that easy. But I got plans for you Voltz. Get him up!" I ordered my men as they picked Voltz off the dirt. Getting him steady once more, I got in his face to say.
"I'm going to make sure you never hurt anyone again with your lies. But first I need to contact some friends. You'll meet them soon. In the meantime, would you please escort Mr. Voltz here to a cell." I urged my men as they replied.
"Yes sir."
"I'll see you soon Voltz." I stated with a smile as I watched him get dragged off.
This war was over now that I had him. The Rebellion in Iraq would be unable to do anything now. It was just a matter of taking back my property. And Voltz will give me back the keys.
Mason's POV, Afghanistan Capital, Two Hours Later.
Morning was here and Raptor wasn't. He hasn't even called in. Something had to have gone wrong.
Going to my phone, I gave his cell a call. But as I placed it to my ear it immediately went to voice mail. In confusion I tried again to get the same result. Quickly I called Archer. He picked up after a few rings to say.
"Mason? What's wrong?"
Standing up from my desk I replied.
"It's Raptor. He was on his way here to see me and his wife. But he's late. Did he call you by chance and tell you anything?"
Slowly Archer replied.
"No. Wreak told me he took Char and his team with him. I assume they had to go around Pakistan to get there. Maybe it took them longer then expected."
"Something could be wrong Archer." I stated as he urged.
"Give him an hour. If he still hasn't arrived call me back."
"Okay." I replied as I hung up.
"Fuck." I said to myself out loud as I looked to the clock. Alicia would be awake soon. How do I delay her?
Char's POV Afghanistan Border, 1 Hour Later.
I had nothing left. I lost my shirt two hours back to the rising sun and I had no water in my system. I did my best to treat my leg but sand got inside the wound. I felt it burning inside my skin. Limping up a dune I saw the border to Afghanistan. I had no idea how I made, but I did. Only issue now was I didn't think I could last the walk to the Capital.
Proceeded along the dune and back down to the main road, I soon reached the closed gate to shout.
"Hello!? Anyone!?"
Looking up at the empty towers above the entrance, I widened my eyes as a Rebellion soldier appeared to see me standing there.
"Open the gate!" He shouted as I felt relieved.
Within thirty seconds the gate began to open, and as I saw fellow comrades, I dropped to my face to let out a heavy breath.
"Get a medic!" Someone ordered as I felt three men now around me.
"Who are you?" One asked as I replied as best I could.
"Char...Iraq Rebellion."
The men looked at one another as a medic came to my side to urge.
"Don't move. Let me look at you."
I was covered in cuts and bruises. I was dehydrated and starving. I knew my condition was bad.
"Your leg looks infected. How long were you out there?" He asked as I replied.
"I don't know."
"I need to get him somewhere sir." Stated the medic as I felt like falling asleep.
"Let's take him to the Capital. Commander Mason will want to hear of this."
"Yes sir." Replied the medic as he they looked back to me to urge.
"Stay with us. We're going to get you help."
I couldn't last much longer. Carefully helping me up, I was carried inside the city and to a transport Humvee. The medic continued to examine me as we got driving.
"What were you doing out there?" He asked as I looked to him to reply.
"Helicopter crashed. I...I...?" Stopping me the medic urged.
"Relax. Don't push yourself. Here."
Handing me a flask of water he ordered.
"Drink slow. Your heart can't take the sudden input of fluid right away."
Taking the flask I began to drink. I never thought water could taste so good.
"Slow." He urged me as I slowed down. My heart began to race as he pulled away the flask to urge.
"Now breathe. I want you to relax and breathe for me. Okay?"
Nodding my head I replied.
"Thank you."
"Just stay awake. I know it's hard, but I can't have you passing out."
Nodding, I waited now as we were close to the Capital. I haven't been here since I was a kid. It's amazing how much has changed.
"Commander Mason, this is border team Echo 7-9, we are coming in with a man who says he's from the Iraq Rebellion. He's in critical condition and needs medical attention. How copy?"
I listened close as Mason came through comm to ask.
"Is Commander Voltz with him?"
Looking back to me he replied.
"No sir."
"Fuck! Okay! I'll be right there! Get him to the med bay immediately!" Ordered Mason as we came up to the gate.
Pulling inside of the Capital, the officer in the passenger seat ordered.
"Get him inside. Carefully."
"Yes sir." Replied the medic as the driver got out to get my door.
"Careful." He urged me as I grabbed onto his arm.
Getting me out of the Humvee, I looked around to see fellow soldiers looking at me. I was surprised there were this many. I didn't know Afghanistan was in this condition.
Escorting me inside the building, I came head to head with Commander Mason who said as he approached.
"Jesus Christ. What happened soldier? Where's the Commander?"
Looking into his eyes I replied.
"G.U.N has him. They knew we were coming to see you and shot us down. My men all died on impact. The Commander was injured in the crash as well, but he told me to run. He gave me this." I stated as I handed him the gun. Mason looked almost lost in another world as he took it from me.
"He said for me to tell you he's sorry he got delayed. But he said he'd be back. He also wanted me to tell you to call Wreak. Tell him to look after the Rebellion while he's gone."
Looking back to my eyes he replied.
"Fucking Raptor. Ahhhh. Okay. I got it. Thank you. Get him to the medical bay now." Ordered Mason as I was dragged off.
"I did it Commander." I said to myself as the men who held me looked to me as I smiled and passed out.
Wreak's POV, Iraq Capital.
As I stood there with Archer looking over the recruits as they continued to train, my phone went off on my belt. Looking to me as I answered, I widened my eyes to the voice on the other end.
"Mason?" I replied as Archer turned his head to look at me.
"We have a problem." Stated Mason as I questioned.
"What problem? What the fuck happened Mason?"
Archer now fully focused on me as he replied.
"One of your men just arrived at my Capital. He's critically injured."
"Who?" I asked in confusion as he replied.
"A wolf. Blue eyes, black fur. Maybe twenty."
"Char?" I questioned as he replied unsure.
"I didn't ask. He's going to my medical bay now to be treated."
"Where's Raptor then?" I asked as I proceeded to a more private area. Archer followed as Mason replied.
"G.U.N has him according to what Char said to me."
My whole body went numb as Archer asked.
"What's wrong? What happened to Raptor?"
"They knew somehow that he was on his way to me and they shot him out of the sky. Char said his men died on impact and Raptor was hurt as well in the crash. Before G.U.N arrived Raptor told him to come find me. But that's all I know right now. But according to your man, G.U.N has him now."
Slowly I sat down on the ground in loss for what to do or how to react.
"What's wrong!?" Asked Archer in a panic as I struggled to say anything.
"I'm going to look after your man for now. Give me a few hours and I'll be on my way to Iraq. We can talk then Wreak. I'm sorry." Said Mason as he hung up the phone leaving me there in utter shock.
Archer still yelled at me as I looked around in confusion.
"Wreak!" He shouted as I looked at him finally.
"Raptor was captured." I said so bluntly as he instantly widened his eyes to stop in his tracks.
"G.U.N has the Commander." I said again as I stood up to turn for the door leading inside. Finding Hunter wandering around I shouted.
"Hunter! Come here!" Caught off guard, she followed as I made my way for the med bay to find Marx with those other G.U.N soldiers.
"How you feeling?" He asked the black hedgehog as he turned to see us storming in.
"Marx?" I said as he turned to look at me in confusion.
"What's going on?" He asked unsure, as I now had Hunter next to me looking for the reason why I was so lost.
Looking to both of them I asked.
"Did Raptor tell you he left last night to go see Mason and his wife?"
Hunter nodded as Marx shook his head to reply.
"No. I didn't hear any of that. What happened?"
"Alicia was going undergoing surgery. He wanted to be there. So last night he left with Char and his men." I went silent as Hunter asked.
"And?"
Looking to her I replied.
"G.U.N knew they were coming."
Hunter and Marx widened their eyes as I continued.
"They were shot down. Char's men died on impact and Raptor was captured. Linnen now has him in Pakistan." The room went silent as that G.U.N hedgehog questioned.
"What?! Linnen has Raptor!?"
I remained silent as he tried to get out of bed. His friend helped him up as Marx was lost for words. Hunter was still shocked as I said.
"Mason is on his way over to help us figure something out in the meantime."
"What about Raptor?!" Asked Hunter in confusion as I looked to her to reply.
"I don't know. Linnen has him. I don't know how to help right now."
"Figure something out Wreak! Your the smart one here!" Ordered Hunter as I was truly lost on how to act.
"I'm getting him back." Stated the hedgehog who stood before me.
"Your G.U.N. I don't trust you to clean the floors." Stated Archer as the man replied.
"Fuck you! No one knows Pakistan better then me these days. I can get in and get out before they even knew what hit them."
Immediately Marx ordered.
"Your not going anywhere Black. You can barely walk."
I saw this guy...this Black. He seemed like he really was ready to go do this. But his friend pulled him back to urge.
"Just rest Black. We can figure something out. Your in no condition to move yet."
Marx nodded as I urged everyone.
"Everyone just sit on this for now. When Mason gets here we can figure something out in Raptor's office. Understood?"
Marx, Archer, Black, and all his friends nodded as I turned to leave.
"Wreak?" Said Hunter as I stopped to look back at her.
"Please help him." She begged as I didn't know what to say.
Everything seemed to be resting on me for some reason. I'm not going to lie. I don't know what to do.
Another one down. Let me know what you think for now. Thanks again everyone.
