Time to begin the Battle of North America. I can assure you that this battle is going to be a tough one. I'll try to make it as interesting as possible and for those wondering, Hope County will return as soon as possible.

Kind of surprised no one said anything about the fact I included some old Steam Locomotives like the Malard were being used. Well, since no one asked, I'll let you know that idea came to me from Metro Exodus, since the railroad plays a critical part in the game. I also can't believe no one caught the Tom Clancy's HAWX material I used or the languages of other nations. Oh well no big deal.

Now onto Reviews

Mpowers045: I agree. I intend to include Texas, since Lennox and Epps are there.

Spartan-626: Thanks for your support with my little problem at work. It means a lot. I am glad you liked the fact that Obi-Wan and Bo got some action. As for Grievous, I am considering that a lot, but as to how I am going to do it, maybe I could see the General freeing prisoners or destroying weapons depots. But it's still early.

Now, onto to beginning of the liberation of North America. Disclaimers are the same as before, please enjoy.

Chapter 38: Rough Landing

July 3rd 2020 19BBY

5 miles off the West Coast of North America

1945 hours

Normal point of view

The battles all across Earth were quickly turning in the favor of the New Republic. Enemy operations in Europe, South America and Asia were starting to dwindle while the forces in Africa and the Middle East were still raging. It was clear that numerous warlords and terrorist groups in both regions had been supplied with separatist weapons such as the E-5 blaster rifle which were delivered by Stonebanks before Barney killed him two years ago as payback for being responsible for the Terrorist attack in the Rookies that was thought to have claimed the life of the Lone Wolf. Despite the extra enemy firepower, the men of the Midgarda armed forces, 327th Star Corps and 91st Recon were handling the situation well enough and had retaken Egypt, Israel, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

From the reports given by all the forces involved in the operations, they were encountering stiff resistance in mountains of Afghanistan. ISIS, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were making excellent use of the terrain and were starting to launch guerilla style attacks which took a toll on most of the local resistance groups that had been fighting these terrorists for some time.

Thankfully, Sanaa and Jalal of Morocco's GIGR and Rainbow who were sent to assist the units in the Middle East after Russia was liberated quickly turned the tide of the battle and were able to push the enemy back all the way to Khyber Pass.

As he overlooked the reports, Robert made the decision to send the 41st Elite Legion to back up Aayla and Adi in that region. Once the ships of Luminaria's forces headed out to the Middle East, he then ordered the members of Rainbow that were onboard to conduct a special mission along the west coast of North America and eliminate all threats to the invasion of the United States.

The Japanese 12th brigade, along with French and Russian Airborne soldiers were to be sent to Vancouver where they would link up with Sebastien 'Buck' Cote and Tina Lin Tsang 'Frost' of the JTF2, Canada's special operations force and capture an enemy Airfield in an effort to get the Canadian Air Force pilots back in the air so they could provide support for the 104th and the Russians who were also going for Alaska.

The Australian 1st and 2nd Commando Regiments, British 16th Air Assault Brigade and German Airborne forces along with members of both the 82nd and 101st airborne that were held prisoner at Pearl Harbor were too be dropped along the entire American West coast to eliminate enemy anti-air, anti-armor and artillery defenses. They were also to liberate a few prison camps along the Baja California coast holding both civilians and military personal under guard by both North Korean and Chinese Forces. Intelligence suggested that among the prisoners were numerous Army Rangers, sailors, marines and army personal, their numbers in the thousands including fighter pilots that were captured at the start of the invasion. If released, they could prove to be a major asset to the 212th, French, German and British Forces and provide the US navy ships docked on the West Coast with the crews they needed to operate them.

The members of Rainbow were to be deployed into coastal cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco with ARC Troopers of the Muunulist 10 and Rancor Battalion were to make contact with the resistance group in LA and take out any targets that were deemed a threat to the invasion. If they missed anything, the 501st, Japanese, Wolf Dragoons and the members of the American 1st infantry division would have heavy casualties inflicted upon them. They were also to link up with the Rainbow Operators of the FBI-SWAT, Navy SEAL'S and the only Secret Service member that refused to follow the orders of President Trump. Fordo was also given a special set of orders from the Lone Wolf. Once the objective was completed, he was to make his way to a church in down town LA and pass along a message to Tommy Walker, letting Velvet and Arthur know that he would be seeing them soon. He was also to locate two other members of the Expendables. Toll Road, the groups second Demolitions expert and Doc another medic were rumored to be working with Arthur in providing protecting for the innocent bystanders that were caught up in the battle.

The commander of the ARC Troopers understood his orders and quickly boarded one of the Gunships that would take the elite forces into the occupied North American continent.

Flying low over the water to avoid detection by enemy radar, the Gunships veered off towards their targets while the Gunships carrying the members heading to LA and SF continued towards the coast before, they landed on one of the man-made islands used by the harbor to offload cargo ships from nations across the world. "Let's do it, let's go." Ela instructed as the ARC troopers and operators jumped out of the gunships before they made a beeline back to the safe zone some hundred miles away from the coast, well out of the firing distance of enemy anti-ship defenses.

"Been a while, hasn't it Ela?" a voice said from behind one of the shipping containers loaded on one of the double stack container cars. Appearing from behind the car was a woman of thirty-three with browning blonde hair wearing SWAT tactical gear holding a G36C rifle in her hands. Behind her were four other individuals dressed in SWAT gear holding Assault Rifles and Submachine guns with shotguns slung over their backs. All of whom were in their thirties.

Following them were two Navy Seals dressed in Urban camouflage styled Navy Seal combat gear, one a man with brown hair and the other a woman with blonde hair and arm tattoos. Both Seals had the Desert Eagle Mark XIX chambered to .50AE rounds. The women had a SPAS 12 slung over her back and a SIG MPX in her hands while the man had the FN SCAR-H in their hands and a SR-25 semi-auto sniper rifle slung over their back. Following close behind with an M4 assault rifle in their hands dressed in Delta Force combat gear.

"Sure has, Ash. Hope you and the others have been kicking ass like the rest of us." Ela replied to the FBI women. Fordo then walked over to the two of them.

"You know these people?" The ARC captain asked.

"Yes. This right here is Eliza Cohen. That's Jordan Trace, Miles Campbell, Jack Estrada, Craig Jenson, Meghan Castello and Erik Thorn. Code names are Ash, Thermite, Castle, Pulse, Blackbeard, Maverik and Valkyrie. The American operators of Rainbow." Ela explained as Fordo removed his helmet.

"So, you lot are the best of the best in terms of counter terrorism operations? Hm, seems like you've got a lot of experience under your belts." The captain said impressively, eyeing the two SEALS sidearms. ".50AE side arms. I've seen those in action. Droids don't stand a chance against that round." He added.

"So that means you know the Lone Wolf that bastard Tarkin has been yammering about for over two months. Heard that guy is some sort of monster." Blackbeard said with a chuckle. Fordo simply responded in saying that those rumors were just propaganda and the real monsters were Tarkin and Sidious.

"Maybe we can continue this conversation later, don't forget we've got an agenda to complete and we don't want to be the ones to tell the Commandante that we failed because we decided to catch up." Caveira mentioned.

"She's right. Take us to your base of operations. We need the location on targets we need to eliminate before the invasion." Fordo said in agreement. The other operators agreed and boarded the captured Ural 4320 transport trucks captured from the North Koreans only a few days ago. The Arc Troopers boarded the transports which then headed for the Rainbow base, a run-down warehouse in Skid Row.

Back out at sea, the Ten Nimitz Class Aircraft carriers of the United States Navy, the two Izumo-class Aircraft Carrier/Destroyers and two Hyuga-Class helicopter/VTOL carriers of the JMSDF, the Charles de Gaulle of the French Navy, the Kuznetsov, Kiev and Moskva carriers of the Russian Navy along with the HMS Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales of the Royal Navy were preparing their aircraft for takeoff.

The Grant of HAWX was also waiting with them while destroyers, frigates, cruisers and troop transports laid anchored as crashing through the waves behind them were the USS Iowa and USS Missouri, two of the most famous American battleships of the 20th century and veterans of World War 2 and Korea. Both Battleships were docked at Pearl Harbor as part of a political plan by Trump to show that America he cared for the veterans of wars long ended, in truth he made a deal with Black Tusk, the LMB, Artemis and True Sons to give them the battleships for their own purposes. Both ships were undergoing repairs and upgrades by the time the invasion began and all the PMC groups were working hard to get them ready when Hawaii was liberated.

Both ships were originally armed with nine three barreled sixteen-inch guns, twenty single barreled five-inch guns, eighty 40mm anti-aircraft cannons and forty-nine 20mm anti-aircraft cannons. During the period of time that they were undergoing overhauls, both ships still held its complete set of nine 9-inch guns had only twelve three-inch guns, thirty-two Tomahawk cruise missile launchers, sixteen Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers and eight Phalanx 20mm CIWS weapons. When they were taken back, both battleships were given over half of their 20mm anti-aircraft cannons in the event that the Phalanx's malfunctioned.

Unlike the Second World War and Korean War, the crews of these mighty battleships were from all over the world. An international crew of men and women if there ever was one.

Along with the addition of the battleships, the air forces of Australia, Japan, England, France and Germany received extra aircraft in the form of the F-5 Tiger II. A single seat light fighter built by the Northrop Corporation; the Tiger II was first introduced in 1962 roughly two years before the outbreak of the Vietnam War. Used by the Korean Air Force, Iran Air Force and the United States Navy, the F-5's top speed was Mach 1.63 or seventeen thousand and forty kilometers per hour. The fighter carried a total of seven hard points allowing it carry a total of seven thousand pounds of ordnance in variety of combinations and was armed with two 20mm cannons mounted in the nose, carrying two-hundred and eighty rounds per gun.

Along with the F-5 was the aircraft that was supposed to be its successor, the F-20 Tigershark. Unlike the F-5, the F-20 was scrapped in the 1980's with only three aircraft being built, making it one of the numerous short-lived aircraft of the 1980's. The Tiger Shark was faster than the Tiger II with a top speed of Mach 2, but in terms of a crew, the F-20 required only a single pilot. In terms or armament, the F-20 was armed the same 20mm nose guns as the Tiger II but could carry more ordnance by a thousand pounds as compared to the F-5.

Just months before the war, Artemis announced to the public that they were going to assume the role of building more F-20's to bolster their air force, claiming it to be in the effort of combating ISIS and other middle eastern terrorist groups. In truth, the aircraft were built to help them establish air-superiority over the entire world.

Along with the Battleships, hundreds of F-20's and F-5's were recovered and given to the allied forces, increasing the amount of available fighter aircraft and replacing the ones that were lost in the recent battles. Like the Mirage and Rafale of the French Air Force, the F-5 and F-20 were loaded with extra ammo for their cannons.

While the crews of the allied fleet prepared the aircraft, night time had already fallen over the Golden State by the time Fordo and his men had arrived at the Rainbow safehouse. While the rest of the ARC Troopers and operators were cleaning and maintaining their weapons, Fordo, Blitz and Havoc were overlooking a map with several locations circled by Collinn McKinley 'Warden' a former Secret Service operator who decided to leave the service after Trump aligned himself with the enemy. Behind him, cleaning their SIX12 shotgun was the Jaeger Corps member Nokk. Not much is known about her, other than the fact that she's part of Denmark's Special Forces.

"Based on what we have seen, it looks like the enemy is making the capture of a high-value target they call 'the demon queen'. Whoever this person is, they've been giving the enemy hell. Heard they dropped a Black Tusk soldier off the freeway." Blackbeard said.

"They seem to think that this target is worth the effort to capture or kill. I heard that these guys are working with someone who knows their way around torture. I even heard the bastards are using the SP 4449 and a couple of other steamers in transporting 'foreigners' to internment camps like we did back in WW2. They claim it's move away the 'threats' to our national security, but I've seen otherwise. They're just killing them." Ash added, clenching her fist.

"I don't think the Commander will be happy to hear about that, seeing as he likes those old clankers." Blitz chimed in.

"Regardless of what the commander likes or not, we need to find anything that would be a threat to the invasion. If we miss anything of importance, a lot of lives are going to be lost because we got sloppy." Fordo stated.

"The Captain's right. We need to find targets of opportunity. Anything from attack helicopters, tanks, mech's. Anything that would prove a threat to the invasion." Valkyrie said in agreement. She then pointed to the areas circled on the map. "From what we saw, the enemy was setting up some long-range anti-aircraft and artillery guns a couple of miles from the beaches. 105's, 155's and some of those clanker AA guns." She added, pointing at one of the circled locations, the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area.

"This is the largest area of enemy units is here. But the area is so heavily guarded, five tank battalions PMC, Korean, Chinese and Separatist. We only have a few rocket launchers we found in a secret room in a sporting goods store. M202's, B-300's, RPG's, MK-153's and couple of Javelins. Guy who owned that must gone through a lot of illegal dealings to get these weapons. Even had a few TOW's." Thermite said, pointing to some of the rocket launchers they were talking about. "Not many rounds though and I guess that you guys only brought one or two of your own launchers." he added.

"Afraid so, we didn't think we'd be encountering enemy armor. But we do have targeting locators. Fighter and Bomber squads are going to be launching air strikes by 0600 tomorrow morning. We place these on the vehicles or in the vicinity of the target locations, the aircraft should take out all the targets. Only if we place the locators on the targets." Havoc said, holding one of the locators in his hands.

"Then that's we do." Valkyrie stated before she turned to Ela. "Ela, take Sledge, Thatcher, Mute, Smoke, Glaz, Fuze, Finka, Kapkan, Tachanka, Jackal, Zofia, Mira, Ying, Lesion, Maestro, Alibi, Clash and Amaru. Go with Blitz and his men. Take out the targets located near Union Station." The Navy Seal said. Ela nodded.

"Twitch, Lion, Montage, Doc, Rook, Blitz, IQ, Jager, Bandit, Capitao, Caveria, Hibana, Echo, Dokkaebi, Vigil, Gridlock, Mozzie, Nokk, go with Havoc. We got targets near a few small airports where the enemy is holding captured pilots. We need those F-15's in the air so we can hit the enemy from behind. If those guns are still online, we won't be getting those birds in the air. The rest of us will go with Fordo and his men and hit the Recreation Area. If we cause enough damage, that should be enough to get the enemy to focus on us and reduced the threat on the beaches before the invasion starts." She added before turning to Warden. "Get on the horn, contact Lieutenant Fox. Tell him to get his officers and the Wolverines ready to hit the enemy hard." The Secret Service member nodded and did so before the men and women boarded the transport trucks and headed for their target locations.

Unknown to anyone, even The Lone Wolf and his allies the members of Ghost Recon, having made it back into the United States after fighting their way all across Central America before commandeering a Mexican Patrol Boat which they destroyed when they arrived at Golfo De Santa Clara when they linked up with Stealth Specialist Kim 'Fury' Hernandez, Combat Engineer and Field Medic Benjamin 'Fixit' Jones and Sharpshooter David 'Vasily' Jones, new recruits who were still undergoing training by the time the invasion started.

They were three of the dozens of Ghost Recon survivors who managed to escape being hunted down by enemy forces who were given their location by Trump. They were lucky, having been on the training grounds of Fort Bragg and were able to escape and began to use what they learned using Guerilla tactics taking out enemy patrols along the way before they were forced to retreat into Sonora Mexico, where they started assisting the Mexican Resistance in operations against the invaders of their world.

By the time they heard that the Peru military and some friendlies were starting to push their way up towards the US, they decided to try and make contact with General Keating or any other American Military forces. They weren't able to make contact, but they were able to secure a couple of Landrock HMMWV's armed with Mini-Guns which they used to travel from Yuma, Arizona to Anaheim California, roughly two-hundred and fifty-nine miles from where Mitchell and the others landed. They had another twenty-six miles before LA, where Mitchell heard that a massive amphibious assault was going to take place tomorrow morning.

But there was a complication. Their vehicles had run out of fuel and some of the tires needed to be replaced. Not only that, but they had only a few magazines left for their weapons having gotten into a firefight with an enemy patrol just two miles from their current position, the Los Alamitos Armed Forces Reserve Center.

As Kozak and Nomad finished attaching the new tires to the vehicles, Mitchell and Fury arrived with ammo they found in the armory, which was left behind by several LMB soldiers who figured they wouldn't need any more ammo. "This is all we got, share it." Mitchell said before turning to Kozak. "What's the status on the Hummers?" he asked.

"Tires are attached. All we need to do is fuel them up then we can get out of here." Kozak answered.

"What about the Thunderbolts?" Mitchell asked. He was referring to the four-dozen ground-attack aircrafts: The A-10 Thunderbolt II. Built by the Fairchild Republic company and named after the prop-driven Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, the A-10's airframe was designed for durability with one-thousand-two-hundred pounds of titanium armor protecting both the cockpit and aircraft systems. Due to its role as a close air support aircraft, the fighter's range was limited and it was more practical for it to take off from airstrips close to the front lines.

While its range was limited, it was heavily armed. The Thunderbolt II was equipped with the powerful GAU-30mm cannon and can sixteen-thousand pounds of ordnance. Its top speed was only five-hundred miles per hour, making it slower and unfit for dogfighting. However, these Thunderbolts were spare aircraft meant for the HAWX squadrons. Using some upgraded parts, they got from Fairchild, the engines of the Thunderbolts at the base were jury-rigged, increasing the A-10's speed to Mach 2. The cannons of the Thunderbolts were now able carry forty-eight-thousand 30mm rounds.

These ones were also loaded with five 70mm rocket pods, a single radar-guided cluster bomb and five air-to-air missiles. Now, they weren't just flying tanks but to those who were fans of the series it was like the Autobot himself; Wing-Saber had come to life, especially considering these Thunderbolts had the same red and sliver paint job as said Autobot.

"All of them are fueled and ready for battle. The pilots are ready to kick some ass." Fury answered, looking back at one of the said pilots who was ready to taxi onto the runway. Along with the fighters were dozens of HAWX pilots and ground crew who were captured during the invasion.

"Good. But that wouldn't do us any good if we don't take out those SAM launchers along their flightpath to the beaches. Those guys landing tomorrow are going to need all the CAS they can get. Get the rest of the ammo loaded up and those HMMWV's fueled up. Wheels up in five." Mitchell said to the Stealth Specialist.

Soon enough, the Ghosts had left the base and were heading towards several large clusters of SAM launchers under the control of both North Korea and China. With suppressors attached to their weapons, the Ghosts sneaked through the enemy forces and planted C4 charges on both the launchers and the spare rockets before sneaking back out and headed for the next location.

The second location was guarded by Inner Circle and White Mask forces. Again, the ghosts were able to sneak past the guards and planted charges on the launchers and ammo as well, they also secured some valuable intel regarding several high-value targets the enemy considered to be a threat, two of which were Toll Road and Doc of the Expendables.

But the third location was far more heavily guarded then they anticipated. By 0500 hours, they had made contact with The Rainbow Operators and the ARC Troopers who were going after the same target they were and for the first time in his life, it looked like Mitchell had bitten off more than he could chew. "Didn't expect this." The Lieutenant Colonel stated.

"That's a lot more than we can handle. Maybe if we sneak around and try to enter from the rear of the park. Might be able to get around those tanks." Ash suggested.

"It'd take too long. The invasion is in two hours and the enemy probably has the whole area rigged with traps. We'll attack them head on." Fordo said. The others looked to him like he was crazy, but the Captain was far from it. "Sync your commlinks to the same frequency. Get those launchers up and ready to fire at the tanks. Use the Javelins and the PXL's, those weapons can lock onto their targets, that should do the trick." He said to a few of his men who picked up said launchers while the rest of his men, the Rainbow Operators and Ghosts each took one of the non-guided rocket launchers.

"You pull a move like this before, Captain?" Maverick asked.

"Not really, but back on Muunilinst we only had one rocket launcher and fired that thing at enemy positions in buildings and we knocked out the control room of the enemies main cannon. We used explosives to knock out that monster. This time, we have to deal with enemy armor. But this is nothing we can't handle." Fordo stated.

"Works for me. Let's kick some ass." Kozak said, slinging one of the RPG's over his shoulder.

The ones with the unguided launchers headed towards the enemy position. Taking cover behind several destroyed M1 Abrams Tanks that failed to destroy the enemy emplacements before them, Fordo sent a signal to the men with the Javelins and PXL's to begin the attack.

Back out at sea, Anakin, Robert and Obi-Wan were still waiting to hear back from the units they sent to knockout as much of the enemy defenses as possible and get some extra back up. The units sent to Canada and Baja California had reported they had completed their objectives and were moving up along the coast of both countries taking out more and more enemy defenses. They still hadn't received word from Fordo's unit. Some of the earth sailors thought they had failed, but Robert knew that they were about to kick things off with a bang.

And indeed, ARC-77 did. After throwing a rock in the direction of one of the enemy T-90's, Fordo fired his launcher. The rocket slammed into the side of the tank, destroying it and taking out several enemy soldiers that were unlucky enough to be standing close to tank. Just as the enemy pointed to the captain's direction, Mitchell detonated the charges on the launchers and ammo they had rigged to blow earlier as Javelin and PXL rockets slammed into enemy tanks and other armored vehicles.

(Burn it down, Skillet begins)

Bullets and blaster bolts began to fly back and forth between the two groups. A few Chinese and Korean soldiers tried to rush towards the attackers, but were quickly mowed by a torrent of Rotary Blaster bolts. A few enemy Dwarf spider droids walked up from behind the enemy infantry only to be slammed by rounds from several Cip-Quad portable quad laser blasters and rockets from the rear.

"PUSH FORWARDS!" Fordo shouted, blasting enemy forces with his twin pistols. His brothers followed suit and pushed their way into the enemy location while the guys from Ghost Recon and Rainbow watched with amazement as the clone soldiers went toe-to-toe with one of the most powerful militaries in the world and its allies and were surprisingly winning.

Rainbow operators soon joined in the fight firing their own weapons while the Ghosts used the battle to flank the enemies' right side and greeted the enemy to a barrage of sniper, assault rifle, machine gun and submachine gun rounds.

Having been outflanked, the enemy tanks reversed quickly and were about to fire their main cannons only to be taken out by a well-placed rocket from rear of the enemy attackers. With their tanks now out of commission, the enemy forces began to retreat as more and more of their allies fell to the combined efforts of the ARC Troopers, Rainbow Operators and Ghosts. As the enemy began to retreat, no one noticed that several battle droid dispensers had emerged from the ground and began to deploy their forces. By the time they did, no less than a hundred battle droids had arrived and were starting to push the attackers back.

That's when things changed. The horn of a pickup truck blared all around the park, causing both North Korean, Chinese and droid forces to look back to its source, a GMC TopKick 4500 pickup which was plowing right through the line of battle droids. Out of the passenger side of the truck, a large African American man fired his Steyr AUG A3, which was equipped CQ/T scope at the droids that were foolish enough to try and even attack the pickup truck.

The driver of the truck then made a donut turn knocking over a few droids before he jumped out of the pickup and fired his ACOG scope and fore grip equipped M4A1 at the droids that he had missed. "LEAVE THESE BASTARDS TOO US! TAKE OUT THOSE GUNS!" the African American shouted, throwing a grenade towards some of the droids.

The grenade exploded as the man threw down his assault rifle, and wiped out a sawn-off Remington M1100 shotgun and blasted away at several commando droids that were heading towards the two. The man with the M4 shouldered his rifle before opening up with his machine gun, an FN Minimi and began to rain lead on the enemy forces. They were soon quickly joined by Nomad, Valkyrie and the other members of Rainbow and Ghost Recon covering the ARC Troopers who placed the charges on the launchers and ammo.

Several droids and enemy soldiers managed to get behind the group providing covering fire, but rather than target the defenders they went after the ones planting the charges. A squad of North Korean soldiers and battle droids were about to take out several ARC Troopers, but Fordo rolled towards them firing his pistols taking down all of them without so much as even a scratch on his armor.

"Charges are planted. Let's get out of here." the Arc captain said as the timer in his helmet showed it was now 0600 hours.

"COPY THAT! LET'S MOVE IT DOC!" the man with the machine gun shouted. The man now called Doc, nodded, picked up his bullpup rifle and bolted back with the others. As the attackers left, more and more reinforcements began to show up and were determined to stop them from escaping.

By the time the ARC's and their allies left the area, the charges placed on the SAM's were destroyed and Fordo looked back at their work. "Fordo to Commander Lehner, objective completed. You are good to go." He said into his commlink.

"Copy that. Naval forces are moving out now. Make contact with the resistance and give Velvet the message." Robert answered back. Having been given his orders, Fordo led his men and allies to look for the resistance.

(End Song)

Roberts point of view

July 4th 2020 19BBY

0658 hours

The noise of crashing waves against the shore was drowned out by the sound of engines from both fighters and bombers as they flew overhead towards the California Coast while the rest of us onboard LCM's waited for the ramp to drop.

At long last, we had gathered enough forces to retake the United States and the efforts of the Airborne troops, Commando's and surprisingly both Rainbow and Ghost Recon knocked out a majority of the enemies' anti-air and anti-armor defenses.

Over a hundred men and women from various countries along with Troopers from the 501st and 639th were aboard the hundreds of LCM's, LCCP's, LCAC's and other landing craft that were heading towards the stretch of the California Coast between Santa Monica and LA.

Behind us were more LCM's, LCV's and amphibious assault ships carrying other landing forces that were to land once we established a beach head. On the landing craft I was on, Itami and the rest of third recon, the Dinobots, Breach, Treafdshot, Team Metal, Barney, Kasumi, Rally and several soldiers of my dad's unit, the 1st Infantry Division, The Big Red One, more specifically the 16th Infantry Regiment who were stationed at Hawaii. Fighting alongside my dad's unit, it made me feel like I was actually fighting with my father.

"Wish you here now dad." I said, thinking about the photo that Barney had off him, the others and my Dad during one of their missions to Africa, before my mom arrived. I then looked to the men, some of who were vomiting all over the deck of the vessels. Guess it's why they joined the army and not the navy.

I soon looked up to see the Freedom rocketing towards the coast. Despite Fordo and the others knocking out several enemy positions, I had a feeling that there were some that were carefully hidden among the wrecked city, so I had Honoka take the Freedom and eliminate anything she found.

"30 seconds!" the driver of the LCM shouted from behind.

"Remember, no digging in at the shore. Once the ramp drops, move fast and get to the sea wall. We need to clear the beach of anything that's a threat to the tanks, mechs and walkers. If you get separated from your squad, look for a Clone Trooper. I'll see you on the beach." I said to the men.

"They probably don't even know we're coming." A 1st infantry private said, confidently.

"They know we're coming. They just aren't going to expect a massive assault on multiple fronts. Kenobi, Koon and Fisto are already hitting their targets, so now its our turn." Barney reminded the soldier, who was quick to spout some nonsense saying that if the enemy knew we were coming, it because of a 'Jap' who squealed. For saying that, he got a slap across the face from Rally.

"Just shut the fuck up ok. No one squealed, this is just going to be a tough battle so we need to watch each other's backs at all time." she said angrily, this was also due to the part that the soldier also tried to make some moves on her girlfriend.

Kuribayashi on the hand was getting excited and had sharpened her bayonet a second time as the ships got closer and closer to the coast. "TEN SECONDS!" the driver shouted. Everyone on board made a final prayer and checked their weapons before the ramps were dropped.

No sooner were they dropped, a storm of machine gun fire from several pillboxes built on the hills of the once popular beach tore through several soldiers like they were tissue paper. Their bodies blocked the ramp so we had no choice but to go over the sides. Others weren't as lucky and either died from bullets or drowned due to the weight of their equipment.

Not all of us were so unlucky. Rex, Cassie, Anakin, Domino Squad and the landing crafts that were with their forces suffered a few loses from several strafing MIG-29's but our air-power quickly began to engage the enemy fighters. Had I been wearing the same equipment worn by the JSDF and 1st infantry, I would have drowned like several others.

Pulling myself to the shore, I was greeted by the familiar sound of artillery rounds exploding on the beach, killing or gibing those that were close to the explosion zone. The noise would have made my ears ring were it not for my helmet. I looked to the numerous men, women and troopers who had taken cover behind several tank stoppers and watched them try to take out the machine guns in the pillboxes only to be strafed by attacking helicopters and droid fighters. Only a handful of soldiers were making their way to the sea wall, some of who didn't make it.

Rather than wait for someone else to take the initiative, I made a break to the seawall after getting asked by Noah, who had asked to work with me directly what was the plan. Like so many times before, I braved enemy weapons fire and made it to the seawall despite a few hits to my armor's shields. I then turned back to those still on the beach. "TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE ARE STAYING ON THIS BEACH! THE DEAD AND THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO DIE! NOW GET MOVING! GET OFF THE BEACH!" I shouted.

Needless to say, those words caused the rest of those on the beach ran like bats out of hell to the sea wall, Itami and his men being among the first to arrive at the wall. Others who followed them were quickly cut down despite their best efforts to avoid getting hit by weapons fire and shrapnel. By the time the rest of the men had reached the sea wall, Rex and Cassie had arrived at our location. "So, how's your day been going?" Cassie joked, firing a few rounds from her 417.

"Oh, just peachy. WHAT DO YOU FUCKING THINK?!" I asked back as she ducked down to avoid a headshot.

"Don't take it out on her. General Skywalker and the others have cleared our section of the beach and we got armor landing on the beach now. Air-support is on its way, so we wouldn't have to worry about these bastards for much longer." Rex stated.

I looked back to the beach to see numerous men and women either lying dead on the beach or trying to find some cover. I then grabbed a nearby radio and was about to inform the fleet that we were in trouble, only to find that the radio was shot up. "Rex, Cassie. Get your asses back to Skywalkers position. Contact the fleet, tell them that Omaha two is not clear. We need air support over at our location as quick as possible." I said to the married couple.

They nodded and made a beeline back to Anakin's sector as Grimlock joined me. "We're getting killed out their commander. At this rate, we won't be able to hold the beach before the armor arrives." The Arc Trooper said.

"This isn't enough manpower." I said before an American soldier skidded on the sand, telling me the exact same thing before he took a headshot. "GATHER WEAPONS AND AMMO! GATHER THE WOUNDED AND GET THEM TO THE SEA WALL!" I shouted.

No sooner had I shouted those orders, those that were still on the beach and those that were at the sea wall made a beeline to those that were wounded or dead pulling the wounded soldiers too safety while grabbing weapons and ammo from those that weren't going to need it.

Just as Kurata hit the sandy beach having recovered a fallen M249, HAWX F-35's and Harriers flew overhead dropping several bombs on top of several small bunkers that were housing enemy artillery before they pulled away to engage enemy fighters that were coming in for a strafing run. 25mm cannon shells fell to the ground as enemy planes and starfighters were blown up in mid-air. Following them was the Freedom which opened up with its weapons taking out a few pillboxes. She was about to target another pillbox when a pair of STAPS intercepted her, forcing her to break off her attack and focus on the STAPS.

"This everyone!?" I asked.

"Yes sir!" a trooper responded.

"Alright. Cover me, I'm going to clear a path." I said. I got a confused look from many an American and Japanese soldier who hadn't seen me fight as I ran a few inches from the seawall and called on the Force. Reaching out, I grabbed the barbed wire and one of concrete slabs that were placed to stop any advancements and lifted the massive object into the air before flinging it towards one of the pillboxes.

"COME ON YOU APES! YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER!?" I shouted, firing my Morita at another bunker and getting the machine gun in the fortification to focus on me, covering the soldiers who were running like bats out of hell, getting off the beach.

We managed to get about seven feet inland before we were forced to take cover. A pair of enemy machine guns rained lead down on us cutting American and JSDF soldiers to pieces. Several soldiers tried to take out the guns, but their shots kept missing their target and unless we took out the guns, we weren't going to make it off the beach.

Taking a que from a movie that best showed what the real Omaha Beach was like in 1944, I turned to Ryder. "Ryder, see that impact crater? That should give you plenty of cover from those machine guns. On my signal, give those bastards hell." I said to the trooper.

"Yes Sir." The trooper responded and quickly ran towards the crater, diving into it with the enemy completely unaware of his location. Machine gun fire continued to rain down on us and more soldiers were losing their lives. "FIRE!" I shouted.

I watched as Ryder took aim with his DC-15x and fired. One shot blew a hole through one of the gunner's neck while the last shot gave the other gunner a new breathing hole. A shot from a nearby sniper impacted the ground below sandbags and sent the body tumbling down the hill. "BEACH EXIT, OVERHERE!" I shouted back to those that were still on the beach.

More and more soldiers made a break for the exit and began to climb up the hills and made their way into the trenches the enemy had dug. The whole area was starting to remind me of the D-Day scene in Saving Private Ryan, which I saw when I was fourteen with Velvet.

I followed suit and began to assist clearing out the trenches as a HAWX F-35 flew overhead with a TIE fighter right on its tail. The pilot of the F-35, along with his aircraft were quickly shot down and exploded in midair. The pilot was quickly avenged as Shinn downed the enemy fighter with one of his F-20's missiles before he circled around and went after several enemy interceptors that were attempting a strafing run.

My commlink crackled to life as one of the RAAF Super Hornet's had gotten word that the resistance in LA would be launching a counter attack to cut off any enemy reinforcements from trying to push us back to the sea. Armor was still fifteen minutes away due to the choppy seas and the fog.

The good news was that the enemy artillery had been almost eliminated and the resistance would mark themselves with green flares. How long we had until they arrived, that was unknown. Either way, we kept clearing out any enemy forces we encountered.

"COMMANDER! WE GOT ENEMY ARMOR COMING THIS WAY!" A trooper shouted.

"Lone Wolf to any available squadrons. We got enemy armor heading towards our location. Requesting air-support. Will mark targets." I spoke into the commlink and pulled out a smoke grenade. "Solid copy Lone Wolf. Saber Squadron is on route to your location. Paint the targets, we'll do the rest." Came a reply from Saber Leader.

"Hope you got good aim." I joked and tossed the grenade towards the approaching enemy tanks. Once it landed, green smoke erupted from the canister just ahead of one of the T-72's. Five seconds later, the sound of a dozen Pratt and Whitney F-100 Turbofan engines dived down on the tanks from 10 o'clock high, strafing the tanks with 20mm cannon fire and cruise missiles which turned the tanks and other vehicles into nothing but burnt out wrecks of metal.

"Outfucking standing, Saber Leader. We'll call if we need you again." I cheered as the Strike Eagles pulled away. A blaster bolt hit me right in the chest, causing damage to my shields. Turning around to see the Commando droid that fired the shot at me, I reached out and grabbed the droid with the force. "GET OVER HERE!" I shouted, pulling the droid towards me allowing Kasumi to slice the droid with my mother's Saber.

"WE GOT MORE INCOMING!" Itami shouted while reloading his Type 64.

"Damn it. Sandman, take your guys and get to Skywalker. Tell him we're facing a lot of hostiles and we'll need some support." I cursed, looking over to the Delta Team who nodded and went to Anakin's location. I then turned to the rest of the men and women. "DIG IN! WE CAN'T LET THE ENEMY TAKE BACK THE BEACH!" I shouted.

I then turned to Furuta who had the radio. "Call in air support when I give the order. Tomita, have those smoke grenades ready. Don't give a weak throw or else we'll be having rounds getting dropped on us." I instructed. "Foster, take a few men and set up machine guns on the right and prepare to put some rounds on those fuckers." I added, turning to Noah and his men. The Australian nodded and took a few soldiers and positioned some machine guns.

"Itami, get those rifle grenades ready. We're going to be dealing with rollers. Everyone else, dig in and prepare yourselves. We got a lot of fight on our way." I added. All the forces that were currently with us took cover on crater holes, behind wrecked vendors and any other piece of cover they could find and prepared their weapons for battle.

A volley of enemy weapons fire forced us to duck before marching towards us were thousands of battle droids. "OPEN FIRE!" I shouted.

(Unbreakable, Bon Jovi begins)

Blaster and gunfire from our side rained towards the enemy cutting down numerous droids before following the weapons fire were grenades and droid poppers which knocked down even more enemy forces. Using this to her advantage, Kasumi leapt over those of us who were fighting at long range and began to hack and slash the droids with both my moms and her second lightsaber while Barney picked off several droids with his FN 2000.

Itami and the rest of Third Recon unleashed a barrage of fire from their Type 64 and 89's. Tomita lobbed smoke grenades towards the advancing enemy units while Furuta called out the coordinates for the artillery barrage once I gave him the order to call in artillery strikes from the Missouri and Iowa which began to fire 16 inch guns at the enemy forces. The amount of firepower being dropped on the hostiles forced them to hold back their armor while their infantry moved forwards, trying to take out the radio's that were calling in the artillery support.

Machine gun fire from the right cut down dozens of hostiles while Kasumi continued to slash at the droids and PMC soldiers. A round from a Black Tusk M4 shotgun peppered her shields forcing her to sheath her sabers and whip out her MP7's. Firing her 4.6mm submachine guns, she backpedaled before taking cover behind a wrecked Hummer.

Seeing that my friend was about to be surrounded and her shields were down, I bolted out from cover firing my Morita in long bursts running towards Kasumi. I wasn't going to let her die; Rally would have my head for not keeping her girlfriend alive.

A final burst of fire from my rifle forced the enemies to stop their attack and began to fall back towards a tank that had just arrived and began to fire its main cannon at a squad of grenadiers who were really giving the enemy hell. I loaded a new magazine into the Morita, attached it to my back and pulled out the BFG.

I held the trigger and fired a low powered shot at the tank. The enemy armor was soon reduced to nothing but scrap metal, but the rest of the hostiles near the tank soon turned to our location. "Kasumi, Morita." I said to my friend.

"Roger." She replied and took my rifle from my back. I configured the BFG into rifle mode and once Kasumi started to fire my rifle, I opened up with the BFG sending balls of plasma towards the PMC's. However, the nearby enemy Leopard II took notice of us and began to fire its machine guns at us.

"Up for a tank jacking?" I suggested to my friend.

"You know it." She answered and the two of us bolted out of cover towards the enemy tank, each of us holding a frag grenade. Zigzagging to avoid the 7.62mm rounds from the tanks two machine guns, we leapt into the air. Landing on top of the, I used my sabers to cut a hole in the armor just above the engine and tossed my grenade into the hole, its pin not pulled. Kasumi pulled the pin on hers and we jumped off the tank just as the grenade exploded, causing my grenade to explode from the blast taking the tank and its crew with it.

Kasumi landed safely with the others, but I landed in the middle of an enemy platoon. "Surrender, fucker." A Black Tusk soldier said. I smirked under my helmet, unsheathed my sabers and began to give it to the enemy soldiers. I made quick work of the platoon before I saw another platoon heading towards me. Calling on the force, I blocked weapons fire before I channeled the force and sent a massive push towards the second platoon, this one being all B1 battle droids.

Droideka's soon started to arrive and I looked back to Itami. "GRENADE LAUNCHERS!" I shouted to the JSDF soldiers. They nodded and fired their launchers, taking out the droids before they could even uncurl into battle mode. It was then that the enemy started to fall back.

I was about to order an advance into the city, but a dozen MI-28 Havoc's and APC's started to arrive and began to rain cannon, mini-gun and grenades at us. Dozens of soldiers who were either trying to make a break for newer pieces of cover or trying to get a good shot at the enemy were killed by sniper fire coming from a nearby building.

"I WANT SNIPER FIRE ON THAT BUILDING!" I shouted into the air. Kuribayashi, Kurokawa, Kuwabara and Tozu trained their rifles on the building and fired as many shots as they could whenever they saw the snipers. They spent two magazines trying to take out the snipers before they finally were able to kill them. Despite having dealt with the snipers, the enemy helicopters and APC's were starting to really lay a lot of hurt on my forces.

Thankfully, Saber Squadron returned for another pass and took out the enemy vehicles, but they had used the last of their 20mm rounds and missiles so they had to return to the carriers for rearming. Fortunately, the enemy had ceased their attack and we were spared a few minutes to catch our breath.

(End Song)

"Gather those that are wounded and get them back here. Gather the weapons and ammo from the dead, dog tags too." I ordered, feeling an immense sadness at the number of soldiers that had died during this operation. Those that were still alive and didn't follow the orders of the captain that suggested pushing forwards gathered the dog tags of their fallen brothers and sisters in arms along with their weapons. It was going to be hard to tell the loved ones of those that had fallen that the ones who enlisted weren't coming back.

I then tried to reach Anakin or Sandman, but all I got was static. "Private, Kowalski, Skipper, Rico. I need runners. I've got no contact from Skywalker or anyone else for that matter. I need you give him a progress report. Let him know we've taken casualties and we need reinforcements." I instructed a small squad of troopers.

"Yes Sir." They responded. By the time they left, several friendly tanks had already rolled ashore. With the armor, I decided it was best to tend to the wounded while Third Recon, Ryder, Breach, Kasumi, Barney and I headed for an office building. We needed to see if the resistance was close.

It didn't take us long to reach the roof and we saw the damage the enemy had done to the city. A large amount of tall buildings were reduced to rubble, smoke rising from where they once stood indicating that the enemy did this as part of a fear campaign to destroy the Wolverines will to fight. This wasn't the case, intelligence indicated that this only fueled the Wolverines will to fight.

The whole scene reminded me of those disaster movies like Volcano with all the smoke rising from the ground. That thought was quick to exit my mind as I looked down to see numerous M1 Abrams tanks and Humvee's rolling down the street towards the city. Sure, my soldiers were wounded so I didn't need to chew out anyone for disobeying my orders. Still, it was troubling to say the least.

"Anything from Fordo or the Wolverines?" I asked Kurata.

"Nothing. Either the enemy is jamming our radio's or they've chosen to maintain radio silence." Kurata answered. The radio then crackled as a call from the other forces that had advanced into the city earlier seeing as they didn't encounter the same amount of resistance we did were getting hammered by enemy forces in Cedars-Sinai, just a few miles up the road.

"They need help, let's get going!" I shouted.

By the time we arrived at the location, the rain had started to come down. Currently, we were on the third floor of a bank providing suppressing fire for a squad of soldiers that were pinned down by a Black Tusk heavy unit.

The enemy soldier was taken out and it was then that Ryder called out. "Look! Look! The Resistance is breaking through!" the trooper pointed out. I turned to see no less than a dozen M1A1 Abrams tanks and Humvees flanking the enemy positions.

"Where are the green flares?" Itami asked.

"What difference does it make, Lieutenant?" Kurata asked. Something wasn't right.

"The Resistance were to use green flares to signal their approach so we would," I began before a round slammed into the building. "It's not the Resistance!" I shouted as the building started to shake. "EVERYBODY OUT! STREET LEVEL NOW!" I shouted.

Normal point of view

"RPG! Left side!" an American rifleman shouted as an enemy rocket slammed into the side of the M1 Abrams. The rocket knocked the tread right off the wheel, bringing the tank to a halt before it was destroyed by a round from an enemy T-72.

Captain Roland, a season veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan fired back at the Inner Circle rifleman with his M590A1. His shotgun lacked the range and rate of fire that the enemy had with their AK-74. Still, he managed to take quite a number of hostiles before he ran out of ammo, having used the rest of his shells earlier.

Slinging his weapon over his shoulder, he pulled out his pistol a standard issue M9 Beretta 9mm and began to fire back. Sadly, his rounds did nothing since his enemies were wearing more advanced combat armor then what was worn by the likes of ISIS soldiers and Taliban fighters. It didn't even help that most of his enemies were a bunch of metal heads.

Ejecting his spent magazine and loading in a fresh one, the army captain popped out of cover and pulled a White Mask soldier over the barrier and snapped their neck, he would have grabbed the ammo the White Mask soldier had for their own M590A1 if it weren't for one of his men who called out that more enemy armor was approaching.

"SHIT!" he cursed and popped back out firing his handgun at any targets that weren't heavily armored. It was then that much to his surprise, a pale skinned bald woman leapt over him and the rest of his men, igniting two red curved hilt swords and began to unleash hell on the advancing forces just as Robert and the others arrived.

"Here, you're going to need these." The Lone Wolf shouted tossing a bandolier of shotgun shells to the Captain, along with an AK-74 and some ammo.

"Thanks, Commander." Roland said, holstering his handgun, slung the bandolier over his shoulder and fired back with his AK. Picking his shots, he fired short-controlled bursts from his new rifle he managed to pick off the soldiers that the bald women jumped onto an enemy tank, cut a whole in the tanks armor and tossed a grenade into the tank before leaping off just as it exploded.

"Nice work, Ventress." Robert complimented.

"Sidious forced Dooku to try and kill me. The Count was like a father to me, I feel its only fair that I assist in taking down the one responsible for all of this chaos." Ventress answered, blocking several shots from a few Super Battle Droids which she then shocked with the force.

"Yeah well, we can't hold out much longer here. The enemy has a lot of back up. The Resistance has either been out flanked or they aren't coming." Robert answered, firing the last of the rounds in his weapons magazine. He then spotted a sniper taking aim at Ventress and pushed her down while Itami took care of the sniper.

"I suppose I ow you one." Ventress asked.

"Forget it. You'd do the same for me." Robert answered only to look up to see more and more tanks arriving, along with several enemy walkers. "FALL BACK! KURATA, CALL IN FOR AN ARTILLERY STRIKE! DANGER CLOSE!" Robert shouted.

As the forces began to fall back, Ventress and Kasumi covered the retreat with their sabers. Itami and the others began to pull back the wounded soldiers to the beach where those that were wounded from the landing were being treated back on the beach and a few tanks were positioned to fire at anything that wasn't Republic.

As Kurata vaulted over one of the wrecked enemy vehicles a shot hit the radio he was carrying. "SHIT! THEY GOT THE RAIDO! WE'VE GOT NO MORE SUPPORT!" he shouted.

Robert looked back as Kasumi and Ventress returned and saw a cloud of smoke erupting from the street. "WE WILL NOT LOSE THIS LANDING ZONE! HOLD THEM OFF!" He shouted.

(Fog of War Call of Duty 3 OST Starts)

As enemy combatants emerged from the smokescreen, they were met by a barrage of machine gun and rifle fire from those trying to stop them from taking back the beach. Enemy walkers quickly arrived and began to fire their weapons at anything they could identify as hostile.

Machine gun fire from Noah's location dented the enemy AT-ST's which were quick to turn their weapons on the position killing the gunners before they fired their homing missiles at the tanks, destroying them all. "FUCK!" Robert shouted and called for rockets.

Those with rocket launchers fired at the enemy scout walkers hoping to get a lucky shot right in one of the walker's viewports. Some soldiers were lucky and took out some of their targets with a single shot, others weren't so lucky and were killed before they even had a second chance at the walkers.

Noah ran forwards with a Javelin in his hands and fired his launcher before the moment he had a lock on one of the enemy walkers. His shot destroyed his target, but this caused another walker to target him. Throwing the spent launcher to the ground, he ran for cover as quick as he could, only to get caught in the blast from the same walker's concussion grenade launcher. "MEDIC!" Robert shouted, firing his rifle at the walker before he jumped on top of it, opened the hatch, killed the crew and turned the walker's weapons on the enemy.

"HA! HOW DO YOU LIKE YOU FUCKERS?!" Robert shouted, firing the walker's cannons at both infantry and armor. Three enemy tanks were reduced to smoldering wrecks of metal before the commandeered walker took a hit in the legs, knocking it down and forcing the young commander to exit the walker before it was destroyed.

More and more enemy forces began to arrive and without armor and artillery the lives lost on the beaches would mean nothing. "I'm sorry, Ahsoka, mom, dad, Dooku. I failed you. If I am going to die, I'll die fighting." Robert said to himself and whipped out the BFG.

Just as he was about to fire, the sound of General Electric turbofans roared all over the area. Looking up, he saw an A-10 Thunderbolt fly overhead dropping green flares. Following this, more A-10's flew over the city before they peeled off and went on the attack.

"GREEN FLARES! GREEN FLARES!" A private shouted.

"It's the Resistance." Robert said in awe as arriving close behind the A-10's were dozens of F-15C's. caught of guard by these the enemy forces were quick to retreat, only to be met by the gun fire from tanks, HMMVW mounted weapons.

A small squad of droids were about to throw a few grenades, but they were suddenly taken out by headshots from the behind. Seeing the silhouette of a few figures, Barney smiled and called out to the figures. "MITCHELL! That you?" the leader of the Expendables called out as the enemies retreated.

(End Song)

"Barney! It's been to long." Mitchell said, uncloaking with Nomad, Pepper, Midas, Holt, Weaver, Fury, Vasily, Fury, Fixit, 30K, Kozak and Ferguson. The two leaders just looked at each other, before they both chuckled. "When I heard rumors you and the others were fighting, I thought you would be in the Middle East, not another damn galaxy!"

"What can I say? Adventure follows me." Barney answered as Toll Road and Doc joined them. "Shit! You two bastards are still alive? Lucky sonsofbitches. Hey, Toll, has the ear?" Barney joked.

"Who gives a shit about my ear? You go off on some new mission and you don't even tell us? I thought we were friends?" he asked with a hint of anger.

"Things came up," Barney began before looking to Robert. "Mainly him." He added.

"Uncle Toll, Uncle Doc. Good to see you guys again." Robert said.

"Who you doing kid? Look at you, digging the armor." Toll complimented as Robert's armor retracted and Toll saw the Expendables Tattoo on his arm. "Looks you are one of us. The enemy is going to be in for a rough time." he added.

"Yeah. They will be Robert answered as the rest of the invasion forces confirmed they had succeeded in completing their objectives. The battle was won, but it was far from over. What he didn't know was that Velvet had seen Robert and was looking forward to getting the reunion with her friend she was waiting for.

D-Day in the modern era combined with Star Wars, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, HAWX and Gate. Like the real thing, it was pretty bloody. I think I made it as realistic as they did in Saving Private Ryan, used a bit of Call of Duty 3, great game and a great soundtrack.

And now, Toll Road and Doc have arrived. That's for Nitro Zeus

Bet you all know who's coming in next. Well, here's hoping it won't take as long as the last few chapters, I haven't been getting the urge to do a lot of writing that much. Probably just a phase, but if it happens and it takes longer, I am sorry.

Please read and review and I will see you all next time. Oh, before I forget, I know its early, but what kind of wedding dress would you like Ahsoka to wear for the future wedding? Will have long white gloves, but I could really use some help in that regards.
