45. Land of the Free, Home of the Brave

Happy New Year everyone. So long the 2010's and hello 2020's. Hope things turn out better this decade then what happened last decade. I will admit, that one of great things of the last decade was all the Star Wars material we got, except for the cancellation the Force Unleashed series and Disney cancelling the Clone Wars before it was even completed.

Honestly, I don't know what Disney was thinking, why cancel what was already an already awesome series and renounce everything that has been given to us already and replace it with what they have been giving us. Granted, they are doing ok, but they shouldn't have canceled the Clone Wars.

Anyway, I still have yet to see The Rise of Skywalker, but I have heard it's doing pretty well in the box office. Hopefully I get to see it soon, seeing as I missed out on seeing the Joker, Midway, Godzilla: King of Monsters and some other movies.

Onto Reviews:

Mpowers045: Glad you liked it.

Spartan-626: I will admit, the F4E Phantom is a good aircraft, but the F14 is much faster and more armed than the Phantom. Besides, with the Tomcat I can use Danger Zone and Mighty Wings. As for Longinus and Hondo getting along, I think you might be right about that but I am not so sure how to do it. Hopefully I'll figure something out like I always do.

Mr. Shades42: It's only the second wave agents that are helping out the resistance.

Reviews done, let's get to work. Disclaimers are the same as always.

Chapter 45: Land of the Free, Home of the Brave

August 27th 2020 19BBY

Washington DC, United States

0600 hours

Normal point of view

Seven hundred thousand people once called the city that is located on the banks of the Potomac home. Now it wasn't a place to call home anymore. Patrols replaced the bustling tourists that visited the city every year, curfews were put in place, national monuments like the Lincoln Memorial were turned into outposts, while the Robert F. Kennedy stadium was turned into a prison camp. As for the city itself, it was surrounded by a massive array of radar, SAM's, armor and other anti-air and ground defenses on all sides, a security tighter than Fort Knox.

However, a small but determined group of resistance fighters had taken up arms against the President and his separatist allies, determined not to let those they care about live under the iron fisted rule of a man who would ally with terrorists and force his military to commit atrocities like the Nazi's and other groups committed when they were active.

Using the sewers and a few buildings in Arlington and having a hidden stockpile of weapons hidden on Theodore Roosevelt Island, the Wolverines that stayed in the capitol were led by Emeline Shaw, a former civil prosecutor who had taken up arms against the 'new order' as the president called it in order to protect her daughter Savannah Shaw. Her ally Manny Ortega, one of the few National Guardsmen who were still alive and survived the initial invasion and another person who was appalled by their Commander in Chief's actions supplied her with information about high value targets while Alani Kelso, an Agent of the Division along with other agents destroyed targets of military value and liberated prison convoys of civilians, many of whom joined up with these brave people.

It was not just Alani that was fighting. Rainbow operators Logan Keller, Michael Walter and Jung Park had joined the fight after they returned from a failed attempt to arrest Irena Morales, a terrorist who made a living by smuggling terrorists into countries to launch attacks on the countries they infiltrated. The betrayal of their alley Gabriel Novak to Irena caused them to loss contact with command and they only survived by the assistance of Mikayla Mercer, better known as Bishop who killed Novak before he could kill the others with an RC bomb.

Their return to the States was not pleasant as they hope. Right when the invasion started, they were shot down by several enemy fighters and their aircraft along with most of their equipment was destroyed. Thankfully, they salvaged what they could and had begun fighting back against the separatists and their allies when they joined up with Emeline and her group. That was months ago and while they had scored several victories against their foe, they still suffered many loses. Morale was at an all-time low; the enemy was hitting their outposts hard and they were starting to run low on ammo for their heavy weapons. Even still, the Wolverines were still making the best of a bad situation.

Now, Bishop scanned the Arlington Memorial Bridge for any signs of the enemy supply convoy she, Logan, Michael, Jung, Kelso and three platoons of Wolverines were about to raid. Intel said that the convoy was not only transporting ammunition and medical supplies but there was also a possibility the convoy was transporting a dangerous chemical weapon. Despite being branded as traitors, the Rainbow operators hoped that if they found the chemical's, they could use this as evidence to arrest their former commander in chief and keep them out of enemy hands.

"Overwatch to roadblock. I've got no signs of the convoy yet. Are those caltrops set up yet?" Logan asked over the radio while he double checked his SCAR-H's ACOG scope for what felt like the hundredth time.

"Caltrops have been placed and we are pulling back so we don't get shot full of holes when the convoy arrives." Michael responded from below, readying his MK46 for a firefight. On the other side of the street, Jung and Kelso readied their own weapons while the Division agent readied her seeker mine.

"I'll say this much, the enemy is taking a big risk in transporting these weapons, if they got them. What the hell is going on around here. First, we find that one of our own is a traitor and almost tried to kill us. Next thing you know, we get invaded by space invaders who somehow are working with robots that look like Decepticons and Terminator's who, might I add are working with some of the most dangerous and unpredictable PMC groups and Terrorist organizations. Oh, and let's not forget that the President is working with these assholes!" Jung added.

"We may be outnumbered and outgunned, but we aren't going to give up without a fight!" Kelso said, her seeker mine in hand and ready to drop at a moment notice. While most of the Wolverines were fighting for revenge, Kelso was fighting for her true country and was also hoping that someone in the convoy might have the location of Emeline's daughter who was captured several weeks ago when she was delivering a message to another one of the Wolverines outposts on the other side of the Potomac river. Emeline just knew her daughter was still alive, but between juggling orders for her men and trying to get in contact with Mitchell and the other members of Rainbow, she didn't have the time to go looking for her daughter.

"Convoy heading this way. Transport trucks and Humvee's approaching. Humvee's are leading the convoy, looks like they might be expecting us." Bishop said over the radio chambering a round for her M40A1 and waited for the convoy to drive over the trap they had laid.

The enemy Humvee's were traveling at a steady pace of 45MPH so as to stay close to the transport trucks. Some of the enemy vehicles were equipped with the MK19 automatic grenade launcher while others were armed with the M134 Mini-Gun. Each of the vehicles bore the marking of the True Sons.

The Humvee's rolled past the hidden resistance fighters who were mostly armed with handguns like the M9 Berretta while some were armed with the same weapons as the True Sons, like the M4 and M870. As for the Rainbow Operators, they were armed with the weapons they used in their counterterrorism missions.

The enemy convoy rolled past the hidden resistance fighters and would have turned away had they not rolled over the caltrops. With the lead vehicle coming to a stop, the True Sons members in a few of the transport trucks piled out and went to investigate the source of the disturbance. Right when they exited, Kelso dropped her seeker mine which locked onto one of the True Sons soldiers and streaked towards its target before it launched itself into the air and exploded before any of the enemies could react.

Michael then opened up with his MK46, followed by Jung with his G36, Kelso with her ACR, Logan with his SCAR-H and the Wolverines with their own weapons. Bishop took aim with her sniper rifle and sniped one of the True Son's personal that was using the MK19 on one of the Humvee's. "IT'S THE WOLVERINES!" one of the True Son's shouted before talking a bullet from a Wolverine's handgun before they could even fire.

Quickly, the True Son's soldiers started to return fire and managed to take out a few of the Wolverines with their higher-grade weapons while taking some losses of their own. One of the True Son's gunners was killed, but their finger was still holding the trigger of the Mini-Gun and riddled one of the transport trucks with bullets, destroying it and the supplies it had on board. "Idiots! You'll be destroying your own weapon!" Kelso shouted before she lobbed a shock grenade towards a group of hostiles, paralyzing them for a few seconds before they were gunned down by Jung.

"They're after the trucks! We can't let them…" One of the enemy soldiers shouted before they were cut down by a burst of rifle fire from one of the other Wolverines. Another truck was destroyed but again, no chemical weapons were detonated by the explosion. To Kelso, this seemed odd. More Wolverines were getting killed by the enemy's weapons and pretty soon it was down to only a handful of resistance fighters that were remaining.

For a moment, it seemed that the enemy was gaining the upper hand and the Wolverines were about to call a retreat when much to the surprise of Kelso and Bishop, the enemy was starting to take fire from behind. "We've been outflanked!" one of the True Son's shouted before a bullet went clean through their head. Other's soon fell and soon enough all the True Son forces were dead.

Lowering her assault rifle, Kelso looked to see four individuals all armed with military grade firepower kick each of the dead bodies to see if any of them were still alive. She noticed that one of them was wearing riot gear, another was wearing SWAT gear and the last two were wearing United States National Guard combat fatigues. What she noticed was that each of them was wearing the same smart watch she had but that didn't exactly mean they were allies. She had heard rumors of other agents following the orders that Trump had given when they were activated, but whether they were just rumors were still floating above her head.

"Who the hell are you and where did you get those watches!?" she demanded and raised her rifle back up, only to have it pushed down by a Navy Seal who was soon joined by another Navy Seal, four SWAT officers, two members of the 707th and two SAT members.

"That's a fine hello, wouldn't you say Kelso? We've been out west for a few mouths and the second we return to DC; you go and try to blow our heads off. Some welcome." Cesar said with an amused smile as Bishop and Logan quickly joined them and began to check the remaining trucks for the chemical weapons.

"Cesar? What the hell are you…" Kelso began before Bishop soon joined them.

"No sign of the chemical weapons, but we got a lot of ammo and medical equipment in the remaining trucks. We need to get out of here before enemy backup arrives." She said while the surviving Wolverines gathered the weapons of their fallen enemies and allies, loading them up onto the trucks. Quickly, the survivors piled into the trucks and reversed away from the scene of battle and headed back to base.

Shortly afterwards, a platoon of battle droids, Black Tusk, LMB and True Son soldiers arrived at the scene of the battle and quickly contacted Colonel Ridgeway and Trump. "Sir, all of the convoy's escorts are dead. Two trucks have been destroyed and we have positive id on several dead Wolverines." The Tactical droid in charge of the platoon said to the two.

"Everything is proceeding as planned. They have no idea we are tracking the trucks and are leading us right to their base. Join up with the main force and prepare to wipe out the Wolverines at once." Trump with pride.

"Remember, leave no survivors. Kill them all." Ridgeway added before ending the transmission. Neither they nor the Wolverines knew that an unarmed MQ-9 Reaper drone had spotted both the tracking device on the captured trucks and the main enemy force and had sent the images back to its operator in Richmond Virginia some hundred miles away.

Pulling their captured trucks into the lower levels of the Hyatt Place Arlington/Courthouse Plaza, a three-star hotel located near the almost completed National Museum of the United States Army Bishop handed her M40 to the quartermaster in the basement while other members began to unload the trucks. Some of the survivors of the attack were wounded and were brought to the medical center of the resistance base while Bishop and the others reported to Emeline and Manny. "So, the chemical weapons are still in the open. That's not good." Manny began before he looked over a map of the city. "Those weapons could be used anywhere in the city and for all we know have already been used. We need to find them quickly. The same thing goes for your daughter Emeline, we will find her." he added.

"My daughter means everything to me. I should be out there looking for her, I'm her mother for god sake. I'll never forgive myself if she turns up dead." She said, looking to a photo of her and her daughter a few weeks before the invasion.

Bishop was about to speak when a Wolverine rushed into the room. "The enemies attacking!" they shouted as the building shock after being hit by enemy fire.

"Bastards must have tagged the truck somehow. Get everyone who can hold a weapon on the perimeter! We got to hold them back long enough so we can get the civilians out of here!" Manny shouted, grabbed an FN FAL and headed towards the windows where he then smashed the window with his rifles butt and started to fire on the enemy forces. Emeline soon joined him with her own rifle, an AK-47 and also started to return fire while Bishop went down to ground level and joined the fight.

Both sides were exchanging heavy fire when she exited the lobby of the hotel. Already the Wolverines were starting to take casualties and it looked like the enemy was about to bring in some heavy firepower. "Push them back! Don't let them break our lines!" she shouted, firing her own rifle a M468 in short bursts at a few incoming LMB scouts who managed to break through the resistances lines and killed a few Wolverines.

Having fresh ammo for their own weapons as well, the other Rainbow Operators soon joined the fight. Ash and Thermite started to open up with their assault rifles while Castle and Pulse picked off any hostiles with their shotgun and submachine gun.

Jung, Dokkaebi and Vigil lobbed a few grenades towards an incoming squad of True Sons soldiers while Hibana and Echo laid waste to a whole platoon of droids with their own weapons and their DC-15S that they brought with them in the event that they could not resupply their traditional weapons.

Blackbeard positioned himself on the fourth floor of the hotel and started picking off targets with the other Wolverine snipers and Michael who was spraying the enemy with machine gun fire and managed to mow down an entire squad of battle droids with a forth of his current magazine before he switch his focus onto a Black Tusk Mini-Gunner and True Sons Tank that were giving the group below a rough time. His shots broke the armor of his targets in a few areas allowing Logan and Valkyrie to finish off the enemy forces.

Kelso and her fellow agents managed to sneak past the enemy lines and were able to pick off a few of them from the rear catching them off guard. A few more Wolverines were gunned down by the enemy force but they were quickly cut down by Cesar's drone while the seeker mines from Kelso and Tanya picked off a few more.

Despite taking loses the enemy forces were starting to get pushed back and the civilians inside the hotel were just about to leave when a few dozen enemy tanks had arrived and started were starting to boost the morale of the enemy forces who continued to push forwards. "Get some rockets on those tanks!" Emeline shouted after she picked up an RPK-74M from a fallen Wolverine and began to lay down covering fire for several retreating allies down below.

Once she emptied her current magazine, she ducked down and prepared to reload when several other Wolverines tooting M72's took aim and fired their 66mm unguided rocket at the incoming tanks. The rockets hit the tanks but much to their surprise, the tanks were still intact. "Shit!" she cursed as one of the tanks started to open fire on the building with the cannons mounted on the side of the turret. "GET DOWN!" she shouted and hit the floor. Others followed her but some of them didn't head her warning in time and were gunned down.

Meanwhile, a dozen Skygraspers were approaching the American capital city at two-thousand feet low enough so they couldn't be detected by enemy radar. "Payload to all Sky Graspers, we're approaching the target zone now. Remember the plan: Hit em hard and fast, create an opening in their air defense network then bug out before the enemy has a chance to launch a counter attack!" the pilot of one of the Skygraspers said to his fellow pilots as they streaked over I95.

Once they were close enough to the target, the VTOL's pulled themselves into a steep climb before leveling out at six-thousand feet. Payload then rocked his wings and dived down towards his target, followed by the other VTOL's who each picked out a target of their own and went in for the attack. "Fox 2!" Payload shouted and fired two missiles at his target, a radar truck which then exploded. The other pilots hit their own targets and would have gone in for another attack run but they had completed their objective. "You're all clear, Commander. Give them hell!" Payload said before something dropped from the fuselage of the Skygrasper which then rocketed towards the city.

Back at the hotel, the Wolverines were starting to take a pounding from the enemy tanks and while they had managed to take out two of the enemy tanks with a lucky shot to the enemy tanks rear, the hotel wasn't going to last much longer. "Just keep shooting!" Bishop shouted, lobbing her last grenade from the safety of the hotel's lobby which took out a few True Sons soldiers, blowing off a few limbs in the process. She then popped out and fired the remaining rounds from her rifles magazine before she took a hit to the shoulder from a battle droids blaster forced her to take cover behind the front desk. While the shot only grazed her, it still hurt pretty badly.

She would have shouted to the others to fallback, but much to her surprise the enemy was starting to take fire from behind and one of the enemy tanks was destroyed. Peaking over the desk, Bishop caught sight of the Freedom attacking the enemy with its weapons. "IT'S THE LONE WOLF!" one of the Wolverines shouted before they took a blaster bolt to the chest.

"Damn idiot." Their comrade said, pulling the body back behind cover.

Outside the hotel, blaster and gunfire was being sent towards the Freedom but the shots were soon deflected by the Freedom's energy shield. One of the LMB shotgunners charged towards the Freedom without a care for their own life but were hit by the shield and sent into a garbage can. "Captain America, eat your heart out." The Freedom said and threw the energy shield towards the enemy before opening up with its pulse lasers

The shield smashed apart the droids and dazed some of the soldiers while the lasers took care of the rest of the infantry. The holo-shield returned to the Freedom's right arm as the battle armor rocketed into the air and aimed downwards firing its railguns and plasma cannons at the enemy tanks as several friendly gunships arrived, opened up their blast doors and allowed the clones onboard along with the Expendables, Ghost Recon, the rest of Rainbow, Kasumi, Ramirez, Dunn, Foley, Taylor, Jackson, Vasquez, Griggs and the others to drop in and began to clean up the remaining enemy forces that the Freedom had missed.

By this time, the enemy had already lost their tanks and the new arrivals were starting to push them back. This soon changed when a dozen MI-24 Hinds, HMP and MAF gunships soon arrived and soon started to fire upon the new arrivals and the Wolverines. Quickly, the Freedom rocketed into the air and fired all of its weapons at the incoming enemy gunships as the friendly gunships quickly sped away from the city and back towards friendly lines.

Several enemy gunships were reduced to falling wrecks while the Hind pilots decided to retreat back to friendly lines, but the droid gunships remained on station only to be blown out of the skies by the rocket launchers of the clones. "Cease fire!" The Freedom shouted and landed in front of the hotel and powered down allowing Robert to exit the armor where Barney handed him his weapons and armor. "Who's in charge here?" he asked.

Emeline, Manny, Kelso and Bishop walked towards Robert both shocked and confused, believing this to be an enemy trick. However, Valkyrie confirmed that this wasn't a trick and they were looking at the Lone Wolf himself. "I'm in charge." Emeline said after getting over her shock.

"Alright then. Lifeline." Robert said as a clone approached him. "Take your men and help the Wolverines that were wounded. Beachhead, Roadblock, Gung-Ho, Heavy Duty, Footloose, Leatherneck take some squads and check the perimeter for any signs of the enemy. The rest of you, help move the wounded away from the hotel. If they failed the first time, they'll try again." He added.

"Yes Sir!" the clones acknowledged and carried out their orders. As the soldiers went about their work, Robert attached his chest plate to himself and his armor formed which needless to say impressed many of the Wolverines. He then turned to Bishop and smiled.

"So, you're the legendary Bishop I've heard about. I have to say I am impressed. Meeting one of the heroes of the 2019 Vegas Terrorist attacks, it's an honor." Robert said with a smile. Mikayla smiled and held out her hand, which Robert shook.

A half hour later, the Wolverines had left the hotel with their backup just as a second attack force of enemies had arrived and started to blast the hotel with all the firepower they had brought with them, not knowing the 'terrorists' had fled the hotel and fled to the safety of their base in Arlington Village, a few miles away from the hotel.

Arlington Virginia

Bishops point of view

I'd never thought when I joined Rainbow, I would end up planning an infiltration of the Pentagon, but then again, I never thought there was any life lightyears from Earth. Life is full of surprises. Relocating from the hotel to Arlington wasn't a difficult task, but things got worse when we learned from one of our informants that the enemy was up to something at the headquarters of the United States Military. Damaged in the 9/11 attacks and the world's largest office building, something was really out of place.

When the enemy took control of the building, military bases, agencies and other areas of the countries defense network were targeted and either destroyed or captured by the separatists. But from what our informant said, the enemy was still searching for something of importance.

From I395, I could see a lot of enemy activity PMC, terrorist and droids were guarding the place complete with a few tanks. Shame we didn't bring any rocket launchers with us, but we were lucky as Barney Ross, leader of the Expendables and uncle to the Lone Wolf along with the other members of the mercenary unit were planning to take the hear away from the Pentagon.

Their plan was to attack a large ammo dump housed in the airport named after Ronald Regan, the man who ended the cold war and also capture it so they could use it as a staging ground when their forces arrived later in the week. As for the kid, the marines, rangers and the clones that were with him, they had a more challenging mission, get across the Potomac and liberate the Lincoln Memorial from enemy control anyway possible. From what I heard, he sent two team of Clone Commandos through one of the subway tunnels and hit the enemy hard from behind. A good plan, especially considering that Mitchell, Nomad and the other ghosts were going with them. They were some of the best soldiers I have ever seen.

As for Emeline, Kelso, Manny and the other Division Agents were to secure Roosevelt which was taken over the same day the enemy attacked us. One of the Wolverines they captured had given away the location of the ammo stockpile on the island and it was also where we kept some of the extra mortars, we captured a couple of weeks ago.

"Bishop to Rhino 2-1. We got eyes on the Pentagon. Holding position and waiting for orders to move in." I said into the radio and kept scanning the entire front entrance of the building. I waited for Barney to respond and when he did, he gave us orders to split into teams once we enter the building and search the whole place from top to bottom. "Copy that. I'll send you the teams as soon as possible." I responded and then turned to the rest of Rainbow. Six wasn't with us, but I knew that he would support our decision 100%. While Kaid led Glaz and the other operators to knock out more of the enemies' anti-air and anti-armor emplacements along the southern defensive perimeter of the city, but I had some backup.

Aside from Logan, Jung and Michael. Castle, Pulse, Ash, Thermite, Twitch, Montagne, Doc, Rook, Blitz, IQ, Jager, Bandit, Maverick, Valkyrie, Blackbeard, Zofia, Ela, Caveria, Dokkabei and Mira had accompanied us, each of them carrying their standard gear, assault rifles used by the organizations they belonged to, with under barrel grenade launchers and shotguns and a smartphone similar to what Mitchell and the Ghost boys use when downloading data from enemy laptops. Once everyone's gear was ready, we repelled down from the Interstate and headed for the building.

We weren't even fifteen yards from the building when the ground began to rumble and enemy tanks were heading towards us followed by a compliment of enemy troops. Quickly, every one of us bolted behind the wrecks of several destroyed military vehicles that were part of the defenses set up during the initial invasion in a desperate attempt to keep the enemy from reaching the Pentagon.

I hugged the side of the tank I was using as cover as the enemy past us and headed for the airport. From what I heard on the radio, it seemed that Gunner had used a few too many explosives on the ammo stockpile for the enemy tanks and artillery, but the explosion was enough to lure the enemy forces from the main entrance to the airport. Normally, anyone attracting armor to their location would be suicide, but with the power armor Barney and the others were wearing it wouldn't be a problem.

But we weren't going to be fighting them. Instead, we let them pass by us and as soon as they left the immediate area, we resumed making our way to the Pentagon and attached suppressors onto our rifles and submachine guns to avoid alerting the enemy and call back the forces that headed for the airport. It worked well and we made it to the building without alerting the enemy. Once inside, we split up into teams. IQ, Blitz, Jager, Bandit, Ash, Thermite, Pulse and Castle would move in and secure the central courtyard while Montagne, Doc, Rook, Twitch, Blackbeard, Dokkabei, Maverick and Mira swept the whole interior of the building for signs of enemy units. As for me, Logan, Jung, Michael, Valkyrie, Caveria, Zofia and Ela, we would make our way to the main server room and see what the enemy was looking for. If we found anything, all teams were to then sweep the lower levels of the building where the DOD had several secret facilities underneath the building which were the focus of many conspiracy nutjobs.

Whether it was true or not was up to debate, but I only hoped we wouldn't be finding any dark secrets our government was hiding from the public. "All teams, split up and head to your objectives. Keep those suppressors on and maintain constant communication. Don't hesitate to take out any hostiles you come across, but keep it quiet." I whispered to the others who nodded and went to their objective locations.

My team entered the maintance sectors and followed the corridors to the server room. Each room we passed, we cleared out with silenced gun fire and kept moving forwards to the objective. Valkyrie caught a Black Tusk scout with a burst of fire from her ACR while Logan downed another with his MP5 before they even had a chance to react. Ela's EVO 3 spat out a few rounds at the security camera's ahead of us before they could even move while Zofia's rifle managed to pick off a True Sons soldier just seconds after they spotted us.

Michael and Jung tossed a few flashbangs ahead of us, forcing us to duck down as the grenades exploded, blinding half a dozen enemy soldiers which we then cut down with our weapons before they could even react. We all reloaded our weapons before we continued further to the main server, radio chatter from the others came in clear that they had secured their objectives with very little resistance, there weren't even any signs of those battle droids the enemy used.

Something wasn't exactly adding up, a place like the Pentagon would should have more forces guarding it on the inside like they had on the outside. Still, we had a mission to complete and we kept pressing forwards. Finally, what seemed like an eternity we reached the main server room. My snake camera showed that there were multiple White Mask and Inner Circle forces inside the server room and there were three other doors on the other sides of the room. From what I could tell, the terrorists were armed with the same blaster the droids used along with the basic weapons they used like the SIG 552 and Benelli M4. "Two people on each door, execute door breach on my mark." I whispered into my radio to the others.

They nodded and went to the doors while Logan prepared a flashbang. The others soon radioed they were in position and I gave the order. "Breach and Clear!" I shouted and quickly opened the door allowing Logan to toss a flashbang into the room, followed by the other groups before we ducked back behind cover before the grenades detonated and blinded the terrorists before we burst in and cleared them out. "Check your fire! Don't hit the terminals!" I shouted, downing one White Mask terrorist with my MP5.

The others heard this and made sure to check their aim before they fired. Blaster bolts and bullets flew towards us, but we were able to take down these bastards. The last hostile flew to the ground and we then searched the bodies for any signs of explosives or any intel they might have on them while Logan began to download the data from a laptop.

We kept ourselves ready in case the enemy picked up our download and would try to stop us. As Logan downloaded the data, reports from the other teams indicated that they still hadn't encountered any heavy resistance at all.

"We got a problem!" Logan said in fear after he finished downloading the data. I soon found out why. Turns out that there was a large facility directly below the Pentagon and it looked like it had been around for a long time. A map of the facility indicated that it was connected to the outside world by a secret subway tunnel just a few miles from the Pentagon station and it looked like the tracks were modified to allow the locomotives and rolling stock used on the Amtrak line to enter the tunnel and transport whatever was down there.

"Bishop to all teams, we've got a facility underneath the Pentagon. I'm sending the location of the entry point, keep your heads on a swivel I have a feeling that what we're looking for might come with enemy contact." I instructed the others through the radio while the others headed for the entry point. I looked back to the schematics of the facility, my eyes fixated on a large room that looked like it was a storage facility of some kind. I saw a small indicator by the side of the room and I was hoping that it didn't mean what I thought it meant.

It didn't take us a lot of effort to find the hidden entrance and much to our surprise revealed two elevators that led directly to the underground facility. As we rode the elevators down, Mitchell radioed that his team had got eyes on the Capitol Building and it looked like the enemy was moving more equipment from the area and were moving it somewhere else. He would have said more, but the transmission was soon cutoff and I was starting to get a bit concerned. My concern soon grew more as the elevators stopped and we saw what the facility was.

The facility was a large weapons depot containing not only the standard weapons the armed forces used, but also some of the same vehicles and weapons used by the Separatists and their droid forces. Some of them were being loaded onto train cars as another train left the facility with a load of Lightnings, tanks and walkers. I had a feeling that train was heading for the enemy HQ in New York City, seeing as how when most enemies start losing territory they start to pull back and fortify their last area for the final battle.

That still left me wondering about what else this facility was hiding. I didn't get much time to think before a White Mask soldier spotted us and fired, raising the alarm and stopping the loading of the other trains. The droids down below also opened up and one of the Abrams Tanks rotated its turret and fired its main cannon, blowing up the elevators we had just used and forced us to take cover behind a few empty containers.

(Blow Me Away, Feat Valore starts)

Even from behind my cover, I noticed that the tank that was firing at us was one of the Abrams that was stolen from several armories and bases across the world ever since Trump downsized the amount of soldiers stationed at all of our bases as a part to downsize the amount of soldiers that were deployed in other countries, many of whom came back and ended up as homeless veterans and weren't even looked after by the government that they served.

Along with that and the increase in gun-related crimes that happened right after that man became president and said that they were 'handling the situation' it appeared that the same man had been stockpiling and selling these weapons and vehicles to terrorist cells across the world which kept us in Rainbow very busy and killed a lot of innocent people.

A burst of machine gun fire from a White Mask soldier was keeping us from moving any further from the destroyed elevator as the enemy tank kept firing its cannon at us and ended destroying some of the equipment they were trying to transport. "Twitch! Try and flank them from the left! Take Blitz and the other GSG 9 guys and try and take out that tank!" I shouted, tossing a frag grenade around the containers corner without even looking.

"Roger that!" Twitch replied before she, Blitz and their teammates followed them while the rest of us kept the enemy occupied and focused on us. The grenade I threw earlier detonated and I heard the thud of several bodies hitting the ground hard while Logan, Michael and Jung tossed a grenade of their own towards the enemy. The grenades exploded and kicked up quite a bit of dust, but allowed Valkyrie, Ela and Zofia to eliminate a few of the others with their own weapons.

Blackbeard, Maverick, Mira and Dokkabei fired off a couple of rounds from their rifles before throwing a few flashbangs and some of those 'droid poppers' we got from the clones which upon detonating short-circuited the droids long enough to gun them down along with a few White Mask suicide bombers before they could get within range and detonate the bombs on their chests. One of my shots hit the bombs on the chest of one of the suicide bombers which took out quite a few enemies in the blast, which was followed by the explosion of the enemy tank. "Move up!" I shouted, firing my rifles under-barrel grenade launcher at several Inner Circle soldiers with machine guns. My grenade missed the target, but it did hit what was behind the terrorists a CUCV which exploded from a direct hit on the engine, taking out both the terrorists and a jamming device right near the truck.

The explosions got the enemies to begin falling back to the vehicles that got in through both the subway tunnel and the roadway and make their escape. There weren't that many vehicles left as they were probably going to leave the facility by train, which must have really pissed off some of the terrorists who were left behind when the vehicles left half-full. Those that remained behind were quick to organize themselves and continued to fire on us, even going as far to shoot their own allies who were trying to runaway from the battle.

Despite the enemies that still remained behind, we were gaining the upper hand in battle, that is until the enemy activated some of those droid dispensers which began to dispense all the droids, they had inside them and were starting to push us back. The ground we gained was starting to return to the enemy and by now some of the droid tanks were coming on line and started firing their grenade launchers at us, some of which injured Thermite, Pulse, Castle, Montagne, Rook and Jung.

"FALL BACK!" I shouted, pulling Castle back with me who was still firing his shotgun at any enemy he could hit. Once again, we took cover behind a shipping container which was starting to take a pounding and it looked like what ever the 'president' had hidden down here would be a secret or so we thought.

Just seconds later after we had fallen back behind another shipping crate, the ceiling above us was blasted open, causing several tons of earth to pour down onto the enemy and hovering over the hole was a gunship with a jagged blue line on top of it and its mouth sporting the gapping maw of a very hungry monster. The gunship then aimed its nose down into the hole and fired some missiles at the enemy tanks before its side doors opened up and several repelling lines were dropped down to the floor below.

The enemy was quick to open fire on the gunship, but they soon started to take fire from someone inside the gunship who was armed with a mini-gun or some kind of weapon similar to the M134. The fire raining down on the enemy managed to take out a few hostiles while several clones repelled down from the gunship, all of which were wearing white armor with blue stripes, something that looked to be a skirt while one of the clones was wearing white armor with red stripes and armed with two pistols.

Landing directly in the center of group of battle droids were two of those Jedi that we heard about. From what Barney told us, their names were Anakin Skywalker and Shaak Ti, two people who were close to the girl that the kid loved, the later of which was actually her mother. With them were four clones in white and blue armor with pistols, rifles, carbines and one of those mini-gun like weapons.

"Lethal force is authorized, try and take a few of these terrorists alive if possible. We need all the intel we can get!" Anakin shouted, igniting his sabers and began to redirect enemy weapons fire back them while slicing apart any droids that got in his path. Shaak Ti used the 'force' and sent a powerful wave towards the enemy, knocking a few terrorists into the wall while the droids were pushed to the ground, letting the clones take down the droids before they could get back up. As for the terrorists, me and my fellow operators eliminated a good amount of the terrorists, only to have several kill themselves and those around them.

(End Song)

By the time the enemy forces had been killed, only a handful of terrorists were still alive albeit some badly wounded and bleeding badly. Some of them didn't make it, despite the treatment given to them by Doc. Those that were still alive, uttered something in the language of the country they were from and whatever it was, sent chills down my spine.

"Obi-Wan. Infiltration was successful, we're sending the gunship back now. How are things on your end?" Anakin said to a holographic projection of the man he called Obi-Wan.

"Better than we hoped. We managed to link up with Barney and the others at the airport and Robert has reported that they have secured the Lincoln memorial and are already sending out scouts to make contact with resistance personal on the other side of the river." The man called Obi-Wan answered.

"Well at least we've been able to get the Lennox and the others some more ammo and weapons. We got a big stockpile beneath the Pentagon. Looks like some of these shipping containers are full of weapons and armor. Guess the President was hording them for the PMC's and separatists." Anakin replied back.

"I'll organize some transports and have the equipment brought to the airport." Obi-Wan answered and the hologram disappeared. It was at that moment that one of the clones came up to Skywalker and Ti and spoke with urgency.

"General's, we got a situation and its not a good one." The trooper said. Right then and there one of the white masks that were still alive said something about this city being cleansed by the fires of hell. I knew right then and there that the indicator I saw on the schematics confirmed my worst fears.

"Logan, Michael! With me! Prepare for disposal of hazardous materials!" I shouted and went after the two Generals and their captain; Rex I think his name was. Logan and Michael followed me with Valkyrie and Carveira following me. It didn't take us long to reach the room the clone led us too and the symbol confirmed my worst fears. Skywalker had already cut the door open and I was nearly scared shitless.

Inside the room was an assembly line building newer and more deadly B83 nuclear bombs. Designed to be dropped from aircraft at high altitude's and carrying a payload of 1.2 megatons, eighty-times that of the Little Boy atomic bomb dropped at the end of World War 2, the B83 is the most powerful nuclear weapon ever built by the United States. I thought all of our nukes were disarmed and disposed of, but this facility confirmed my worst fears. Trump was building nuclear weapons completely without the approval of the department of defense and right underneath the nose of the people living here.

"One of the bombs isn't here!" Logan shouted after he took count of the number of bombs inside the room.

"Skywalker to all points! We got a nuclear weapon out in the open! Start evacuating the civilians out of the city! I don't want anyone left behind. Start looking for signs of radiation and find that bomb quickly!" Anakin shouted into his commlink.

I clenched my fists in anger. If Trump was willing to build nuclear weapons and work with terrorists, there was no doubt he was willing to use one against his enemies, even if it meant killing innocent people. "I want all Rainbow Operators working with the Republic to find that bomb! If you're qualified in bomb disposal, disarm that nuke as quickly as possible and make sure you don't miss a link to a remote detonator! We don't want a repeat of what happened in the Middle East years ago!" I shouted and got back to the other Rainbow Operators who weren't wounded, piled into a captured truck and headed out to find that bomb before it was too late.

Normal point of view

As Bishop and her team began to scour the city for the bomb, Robert had led his unit into the National Mall and had cleared out all hostiles in several museums, managed to liberate a few dozen prisoners and were now in the middle of assaulting the US Capitol building. After receiving the word that a nuclear weapon was in play, the Lone Wolf and his brothers in arms were double checking all the buildings they had secured for any signs of radiation or clue to the whereabouts of the weapon.

They didn't find much in the Air and Space Museum and Museum of Natural History, but they did learn that Dirrel's was in the Capitol Building along with Colonel Ridgeway who had turned the building into a massive fortress with pillboxes, trenches and a 30mm autocannon mounted on top of the steps of the capital which completely annihilated several attempts made by the Wolverines early in the occupation and left the grounds of the capitol littered with the bodies of the ones who attempted to assault the building before the Dragoons. This time, they had to succeed.

A mortar round slammed into the ground just ahead of the trench that Foley, Ramirez, Dunn, Jackson, Vasquez and Griggs were in sending up a cloud of soil which covered the soldiers in dirt before Griggs popped up and sprayed a few enemies with his M249 while Jackson and Vasquez to fire their rifles at a squad of enemy soldiers before they shifted their fire onto one of the pillboxes, suppressing the machine gun in the pillbox allowing the forces behind them to move up to the next trench while Ramirez, Dunn and Foley eliminated a group of enemy soldiers armed with RPG's that were hitting their allies hard.

"Ramirez! Launchers on the left flank!" Foley shouted, firing his rifles grenade launcher at a few Super Battle Droids, blowing them to pieces. Ramirez followed his XO's orders and downed the True Sons forces with a burst of fire from his SCAR-L before they could even fire their launchers.

Ducking down to reload, Ramirez ejected his spent magazine and was about to put in a new one when a grenade landed in the trench. Quickly, he picked up the grenade and threw it back to the enemy where it exploded and took out several TS soldiers and droids. Following this, he watched as Robert leapt over the trench with the BFG in hand configured to launcher mode, targeted the 30mm cannon and fired. A ball of plasma exited the weapon and impacted the cannon, destroying it and causing some of the enemies to retreat back into the building. "COME ON!" Robert shouted and once again led the charge against the enemy forces.

The bounty still on his head made him the perfect target for the enemy. Almost every single enemy soldier who valued money or a promotion soon spotted the Lone Wolf and shifted their fire onto him and completely ignored the others attacking the capital, focusing all their firepower and intent on getting the bounty.

"What some people won't do for money. Works fine for me, less heat on the main force!" Robert stated and took cover inside one of the pillboxes. Dropping his weapon, he called on the force and blasted a hole in back of the pillbox before he picked up his hybrid weapon, attached it to his back and whipped out the Pulse Rifle. A quick pull of the rifles under-barrel launcher's trigger sent a grenade towards a True Sons squad, killing the squad and also blowing off a few limbs in the process.

"Might have been a little overkill." Robert chuckled before he switched to rifle mode and fired off a few rounds at a TS machine gunner. "I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" he roared and broke cover, firing his weapon at any hostiles that got in his way until he made it to the area directly under the destroyed autocannon. He then tuned his commlink to all frequency's. "Attention all PMC forces in DC. There is a nuclear bomb in the city and is set to be detonated remotely by Vladimir Makarov. All forces, cease fighting, surrender and come forwards if you have any information of the bomb's location! I say again, there is a nuclear bomb in the city!" he shouted in an effort to get at least one enemy soldier to contact him. He didn't get an answer and once again opened up on the enemy forces that had completely turned their backs on the others in an effort to get the bounty, some even going as far as to 'accidentally' kill one of their allies.

Having turned their backs on the others, the enemy was quickly attacked from behind and the rest of his allies soon began to push forwards up to the entrance of the Capitol building, with Angelo and Alex leading the charge. "Angelo, Alex. Take your squads and sweep the capital from top to bottom. Use of frag grenades is prohibited. Flashbangs and droid poppers only, no need to damage this building any further. Foley, Vasquez, Griggs, Ramirez, Dunn, Jackson and Taylor. You're with me. We're going to get Ridgeway and Dirrel, check your fire we need them alive. Remember, if anyone surrenders, they are to be treated fairly under international law. No need to act like a bunch of trigger-happy soldiers." Robert reminded everyone.

The others acknowledged his orders and Robert than instructed Treadshot and the others to get as many enemy emplacements that were still intact online and ready incase of an enemy counter attack. His commlink than crackled as 47, Charger, Redeye, Mixer, Longshot, Longarm, Ryder and Gearshift who had established an observation post in the Washington Monument and had eyes on the White House. From the sound of things, the enemy had dug up the entire South Lawn, established a maze of trenches with barbed wire, anti-air and anti-armor emplacements. As for the white house itself, which was codenamed Whisky Hotel, machine gunners and snipers were placed in the windows of the building while several hostiles with Stinger's and other rocket launchers were stationed on the roof with a few more snipers.

"Longshot. You are not to engage the enemy forces. Keep your eyes on the building and notify me if you see the 'president'. Try and contact some of the cells in the city and see if they can get eyes on the rear of the building. We need to make sure that bastard can't escape." Robert said when one of the clones asked if they could soften up the enemy forces. He shut off his commlink and soon came face to face with a True Sons soldier who had previously surrendered.

"I can guide you to Ridgeway's location, Dirrels too. Those bastards took my family hostage. Mom, Dad, Allison… THEY'LL KILL THEM IF I DON'T DO WHAT THEY SAY!" the soldier said through tearing eyes. This show of emotions reminded Robert about the reaction the mother of the girl that was killed on Mimban and while this soldier was shooting at them earlier, he could sense that soldier wasn't on the same level of commitment as the rest of his allies.

Taking his knife, Robert walked behind the soldier who closed his eyes thinking they were about to be killed, when much to their surprise they were cut free. "Name and rank soldier." Robert asked the soldier who said that he was Riley Fisher, Private First-Class True Sons 9th infantry division, rifleman and a native of DC who joined the PMC before he knew of the allegiance between the True Sons and Separatists. "As of now, you're joining my squad. Leatherneck, get this man a rifle! We got a new ally with us." He said, turning back to the defector who was soon handed an M16A2 assault rifle, fitted with a Master Key under-barrel Twelve-Gauge shotgun and red dot sight. He was also handed an 9mm handgun. "I sensed that you didn't commit any of the atrocities that your 'comrades' committed. That's good enough for me, but you'll be sticking with me. Can't be too careful with a defector nowadays." He added. Riley nodded and quickly followed the Lone Wolf, rangers and marines into the building.

Once inside, the teams split up and began to search the building for any signs of their targets. Each room they came across they tossed a flashbang and droid popper into the room before entering the room and sweeping any hostiles who were brave enough or stupid enough to fire back at them. "No sign of the targets. Let's keep moving, Jackson, Ramirez take point." Vasquez ordered.

They did so and quickly cleared two rooms singlehandedly of the forces inside. It took them all of five minutes to clear the first floor and the group soon began to clear the second floor. By this time, Treadshot informed the teams that 47 had reported that the enemy was going to be launching a counter attack shortly and they had about twelve minutes before they arrived. The autocannon was still out of action but they still had the launchers they brought with them. "Use the launchers only on the enemy armor. Don't waste them on the infantry." He instructed the Dragoons second in command over the commlink before he kicked in a door and killed the True Sons personal inside the room with the Pulse Rifle.

"Room cleared!" he said and proceeded to the next room. By this time, hostile forces had already started to take up defensive positions in the hallways and the other rooms, making it tougher for the team. "Dunn, Griggs, flashbangs!" he shouted ducking down behind the desk in front of him once his shields were depleted and the grenades were thrown towards the enemy. The grenades detonated, blinding the enemy forces who Riley then gunned down with his weapon before Griggs fired his machine gun taking out several incoming forces.

"Dirrel and Ridgeway are just ahead!" Robert shouted, sensing the presence of the HVT's. "Open, flash and clear are on my mark." He said and prepared a flashbang of his own. The rest of the team stacked up on the door and waited. From their side, it sounded like Dirrel and Ridgeway were arguing about the situation and trying to get in touch with Sidious or Tarkin for reinforcements.

"Fucking Jedi! They're going to ruin everything we planned. At least we'll kill off the morale booster of the enemy. Lone Wolf, he's nothing more than a kid with a fancy weapon and armor. Children like him are nothing then a pain in the ass. Playing soldier and thinking he can be a hero when he hasn't seen war!" Dirrel snarled and stuffing a suitcase full of ill-gotten money he stole from the city's banks.

"He isn't playing soldier you political coward! He clearly knows the art of war and is a skilled veteran. You forget that Sidious told us that he fought in some of the toughest battles when that disfigured old man was using both the Republic and Separatists. It's not the weapons or the equipment that make him the soldier he is, but his skills. He is not just a hero, but figure head to the entire Republic military. His death and the death of the rest of the people in the city will be a reminder to the rest of the world that no one fucks with us." Ridgeway reminded the politician, his custom Desert Eagle ready to be drawn at a moment notice while his men were helping load up any important papers into a briefcase for extraction.

As they continued packing up their gear, the door was opened slightly and a grenade was thrown into the room before it was closed. "GRENADE!" One of the soldiers shouted and grenades explosion blinded the rooms occupants before Robert and the others burst through the door and took down the enemy soldiers. Ridgeway, having recognized the flashbang closed his eyes before the grenade exploded and fired off a few rounds from his handgun which hit Riley in the chest, only to be killed by a burst of gunfire from Riley's rifle. As for Dirrel, he tried to runaway but was grabbed by Ramirez and Dunn who threw him onto the table and made the man piss his pants in fear.

"Let's talk about nukes. There's one in the city, where is it?" Robert asked, grabbing the politician and Sectary of Defense by the collar of his shirt after removing his helmet, showing the scared man his face. Dirrel just spat in his face, claiming her knew nothing about a nuclear weapon and he was wasting his time.

This proved to be a mistake as Robert simply tossed the man into a wall. Angered, Dirrel grabbed a flag and swung it at the lone wolf, only to have it shatter on his armor and have the other part stabbed into his shoulder, causing him to scream in pain. "Not good enough! Where is the nuke!?" Robert demanded again, taking out his knife and held directly over Dirrels eye.

Shaking in fear, Dirrel continued to deny he knew nothing about a nuclear weapon in the city and was demanding that Jackson and the others arrest this man for assaulting a member of the United States Government. The men did nothing and just continued to look through the documents for anything else that Dirrel and Trump had been up to.

"Well, if you aren't going to talk," Robert began, slowly lowering his knife closer and closer to the man's eye until the blade was just inches above the cornea. "Then I guess that means your going to lose an eye. Look at the bright side, you still have the other." He added, the blade of his knife just a few inches to the eye.

At last Dirrel cracked. "ALRIGHT! Alright. The nuke is in the RFK Memorial Stadium, we're using the place as a prison camp for all the dissidents and captured soldiers. We'd figure if you bastards broke our lines, we'd show you and your space monster allies the futility of your efforts in stopping the progress of the nation!" Dirrel said as the knife was removed from his face.

"Now was that so hard?" Robert asked, hitting the man in the back of the head and knocking him out. He then spoke into his commlink. "Lone Wolf to Mitchell and Bishop. The nuke is in the RFK Stadium prison camp. I say again, the nuke is in the stadium! Get your asses their as fast as you can and disarm that thing! I'll see if we can get a NEST team for support!" Robert said urgently into the radio after Jackson secured Dirrel's legs and arms with a pair of zip ties.

"Overlord to Commander Lehner. Ghost Recon is making their way towards the stadium now. Team Metal is on route with a Nest Team as we speak. Evac of the civilian population is still in progress and General Kota has launched probe droids fitted with jammers to counteract any chance of a remote detonation of the nuke, but we've just received new intel. Enemy forces are converging on the stadium and capitol building so we can't dispatch reinforcements to your location. We'll try and scramble some air support but it will take time!"

"Solid copy Overlord! We'll hold out as long as we can. Just get that weapon deactivated as quickly as possible!" he responded before he turned to his team. "We'll what are we waiting for? Get up to the front and get ready, we've got a lot of fight coming our way!" he said. The others nodded and headed for the front of the building, leaving Dirrel behind them, who was starting to come around.

Once they made it outside, the enemy forces were already assaulting their position and several enemy choppers were starting to arrive, which started strafing the trenches. "LET'S PUSH THE BASTARDS BACK!" Robert shouted, aimed his rifle and fired a grenade at one of the helicopters, which impacted the cockpit of the helicopter, killing the pilot and copilot.

(Clones Starts)

Blaster fire from the defenders streaked towards the incoming enemy forces while mortar rounds rained down on the enemy vehicles, a lucky shot downing an enemy helicopter. Heavy Duty and his brother Road Block opened up with their Z-6's, mowing down numerous suicide bombers before they could get with in range. "GET HIM OUT OF THERE!" Heavy Duty shouted to Lifeline, firing more rounds from his rotary blaster and laying down some covering fire for the medic who quickly pulled a wounded trooper to safety, their arm badly injured from an enemy mortar round.

Beach Head fired off a few rounds from his blaster and managed to take out a super battle droid before he turned his attention to a few White Mask shotgunners that were attempting to make a run on one of the pillboxes. Another series of rounds exited his blaster and killed the terrorists before they could even get within range of the pillboxes gun emplacements. "Come on you bastards! Let's see you face a real soldier!" he shouted while continuing to fire his blaster rifle.

He downed another enemy squad before he spotted several Geonosian elites swooped in, powering up their beam weapons which they then swept across one of the trenches killing a few of his brothers and the members of the Wolverines that accompanied the assault force. "WE GOT BUGS!" he shouted and raised his rifle. He only managed to squeeze off a single shot before his blaster was destroyed by a single shot. Turning towards the shot's origin, Beach Head saw that a Geonosian had managed to flank his position and was starting to shoot at him. However, the bug was killed from behind, its blood and brains splattering across the trooper's visor.

"Can't fight without a weapon, right?" Honoka joked and handed the trooper an ACE 53. She took aim with her own weapon and fired. Beach Head just smiled under his helmet and fired his new weapon, killing one of the bugs whose body was blown to pieces.

Leatherneck lobbed a detonator towards an incoming droideka which detonated just a few feet before the detonator exploded right before the droid could assume offensive position. Footloose and Gung-Ho soon followed up with fire from their own weapons, taking down a few more droideka's before they could even get with in range. "Blowtorch, Barbecue! Get those Flamethrowers up here, burn those bugs out of the sky. Zap, Short-Fuze, Rock n' Roll, Clutch, Grunt, Steeler, Airborne give him some covering fire!" he shouted to his brothers before he grabbed a terrorist, pulled them into the trench and snapped their neck. The body fell to the ground and he picked up the fallen M16 rifle which was equipped with an M203 and returned fire, since his blaster was out of power. The weapon was still new to him, but the soldier as his commander said was a marine at heart and gladly fired his new weapon with pride. For after all, Clones are able to adapt to any situation depending on who their superior officer is and Leatherneck, he was proud to be a member of the Dragoons.

(End Song)

The enemy continued to advance further and further up the lawn despite the overwhelming firepower being thrown towards them they were still making slow progress. Ducking down to avoid having a new hole drilled through his helmet, Falcon raised his rifle over the railing and fired blindly taking out a few hostiles while his Commander loaded a fresh magazine into the pulse rifle as the radio crackled. "Ghost Lead to Lone Wolf! We've started to disarm the bomb now; NEST teams and Rainbow are on the scene but the we've got bad news. The enemy is sending some of those Protodeka's towards your location and the bomb's counting down. We can still disarm it; you just focus on getting the president. He's our target, intel says he knows where your girl is." Mitchell radioed.

"Solid copy Ghost Lead! We're still waiting on air support. Hope Kyoto and the others have good aim." Robert responded before turning to Falcon. "Get Kyoto on the horn! See if she and her team are on route to our location. Those Protodeka's aren't going to wait for us to call in the heavy hitters!" he said to the clone.

"Yes Sir!" the trooper replied and got on the commlink.

"Ramirez, instruct all soldiers to prepare their laser designators. We'll need to mark targets as soon as air support is online!" Robert said to the Ranger who nodded and popped out of cover to fire his SCAR. Enemy shots barely grazed the ranger's armor as he downed a few hostiles allowing Dunn to lob a grenade towards an unsuspecting enemy machine gunner. The enemy soldier noticed the grenade too late and was killed after having his body filled with shrapnel. He would have lobbed another one when several Protodeka's arrived on the scene coming from the Tidal Basin and began to open fire.

Several pillboxes were destroyed by the weapons platforms turbolaser cannons while concussion missiles rained down on several trenches, giving the terrorist and separatist forces the chance to push further into the Wolverines area. "GATHER THE WOUNDED AND FALL BACK!" Robert shouted, after Falcon informed him that Kyoto, Nishi, Jean, Nathan, Vito, Maya and Shinn were on their way with several Thunderbolts armed for close air support. "PREPARE TO LAZE TARGETS!" he shouted, firing the Pulse Rifle in short controlled bursts allowing several troopers to get their wounded brothers to safety inside the building as Angelo and Alex started to fire off a few rockets from some rocket launchers they found stockpiled inside the building.

Rockets impacted both enemy infantry and the weapons platforms and while the enemy infantry was starting to take a pounding from the rockets, the Protodeka's were still firing away which then started to focus their fire on the building. "STOP BLOWING HOLES IN THE CAPITOL BUILDING!" Robert roared and reached out with the force, grabbing one of the weapons platforms and started to crush it like a soda can. The wrecked platform was then tossed into the air where it then exploded and the pieces of it fell onto several arriving enemy tanks.

"Kyoto to Lone Wolf! We're on the scene now. Give us the targets and we'll handle the rest." Kyoto said over the radio.

"Solid copy. Laze targets! We got air support, laze those bastards!" Robert responded. Numerous laser designators attached to the rifles of all those fighting for freedom quickly painted the Protodeka's as targets for the incoming air support, braving enemy fire to destroy the enemy platforms.

Within minutes the sounds dozens of modified General Electric TF34-GE-100 turbofans was heard by all those nearby accompanied by two F-2's, one F-20A, F15C, MIG-35 and SU-37. The calvary had arrived. The cannons of several Thunderbolts roared to life as they strafed enemy infantry while others fired their rocket pods and AGMs at the weapons platforms, destroying them. "OUTFUCKING STANDING! Weapons Platforms are down!" Robert cheered as the enemy began to retreat from the battlefield. "Lone Wolf to Ghost Lead, what's the status on that bomb?" he asked urgently into the commlink.

"Status is not fucking good. We've stopped the remote detonator, but we're taking fire from the stands. We can't disarm the bomb without risking having a random shot hit the bomb!" Nomad shouted into radio, followed by the sound of gunfire. "If you can spare some manpower, we could sure use it!" he added.

"Solid Copy! Vasquez, take over command. Proceed to the White House. I'll head over and give the ghosts some support!" Robert shouted to the marine lieutenant who nodded as a gunship touched down on the lawn. Leatherneck, Footloose, Gung Ho, Roadblock, Riley and Heavy Duty followed him onto the gunship where they than swapped out their blasters for guns while Leatherneck grabbed some extra ammo for his new weapon.

Robert on the other hand kept the Pulse Rifle but grabbed a fallen Black Tusk Remington ACR, this one equipped with a hybrid ACOG/Red Dot sight, M203 launcher, fifty-round magazine and a tactical laser mounted on the side of the barrel. "Get us to the stadium ASAP!" he shouted to the pilot of the gunship which soon took off.

It didn't take the gunship long to reach the stadium where they saw that Nomad wasn't kidding. The stands were packed with enemy personal ranging from White Mask and Inner Circle terrorists to all kinds of battle droids. Several machine gunners and snipers had taken up position in the announcer's box, raining both lead and blaster fire down onto the soldiers trying to disarm the bomb while the people being kept prisoner had taken cover anywhere, they could. "Pilot, strafe the stands! Cannons only!" Robert shouted as the blast doors slid open.

"OPEN FIRE!" Robert instructed the soldiers inside the gunship who without a second thought fired away. Roadblock and Heavy Duty quickly started to spray the stands with their Stoner 96 and MG3 machine guns while Leatherneck and Gung Ho fired the launchers mounted underneath their assault rifles which eliminated a few hostiles that had taken cover behind a few seats. Footloose, Riley and Robert went for the enemies wielding rocket launchers and managed to gun down a few of them before they could fire their weapons. One of the rocket wielding troopers was taking aim when Riley killed the soldier with a headshot, however the finger of the dead soldier pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher and sent its rocket streaking towards the gunship. The pilot and copilot took evasive action, but the rocket hit the laser turret on the right wing which caused the gunship to spin rapidly. "JUMP FOR IT!" Leatherneck shouted and the occupants did so, only to land in the stands far away from the area the enemy had setup a firing position. As for the gunship, the pilots survived the crash and quickly joined the squad in their effort to take out the enemy position.

"Ghost Lead this is Lone Wolf! We're moving to take out the enemy machine guns and snipers. Keep your heads down and get some of those NEST guys to start disarming that bomb!" Robert shouted into the commlink before he pulled the trigger of his rifle's grenade launcher, sending a 40mm grenade flying towards the enemy and eliminating a squad of droids.

"Solid Copy kid! Just make it quick!" Scott shouted through the commlink.

"Squad! Form up with me! I'll take point! We're moving light and fast!" he instructed his men just as the copilot of the gunship took a blaster bolt to the helmet. "Damn!" he cursed, reached out with the force, grabbed a few enemies and slammed them into the wall before he unloaded on them with his ACR.

(Start Diary of Jane)

By now the enemy forces were starting to diver their attention from those on the field to the small squad of soldiers in the stands that were starting attack them. "Don't show them any mercy! Give it to them!" Gung Ho shouted before opening up with his FAMAS, picking off a few hostiles before he threw a grenade towards a few hostiles.

Footloose followed suit with his HK433 in short bursts, nailing a few terrorists and allowing Riley to move up before blind firing his M4 from behind a pillar at the enemy and allowing the others to move up. Both soldiers quickly reloaded their rifles before they resumed firing.

Sufficient to say, the enemy was starting to throw everything they had at the squad and even brought out a heavily armored hostiles with machine guns who were quick to open up on the squad. The pilot of the gunship broke cover and moved up firing their blaster at the armored soldiers before they joined up with Leatherneck who was the closet to the Lone Wolfs position.

To their surprise, they watched Robert slash the armored enemies across the torso with his sabers which he then deactivated before he grabbed a White Mask member who had yet to activate the bombs on their chest and use them as a human shield. Firing his custom 9mm handgun at the enemies in front of him, Robert kept a good grip on the terrorist's neck before he quickly waved his hand and activated the bombs on the terrorist's chest before he kicked the soldier in front of him before pushing them with the force towards their allies. "Have a taste of your own medicine you bastards!" Robert shouted as the terrorist's bombs detonated and took out a good portion of the enemies fighting strength.

"Let's go, Let's go!" Robert shouted, whipping out the BFG and opened up with his weapon in rifle mode. His armors shields were starting to take a pounding from the enemies' weapons, but he bravely continued forwards only stopping to turn his focus back onto the enemies he missed and clearing a path for his allies that were catching up with him.

Once the others had joined him, Riley kicked the door to the announcer's box open allowing Leatherneck and Gung Ho to clear the hostiles in the room. "Leatherneck to Ghost Lead, enemy forces in the box have been wiped out. How goes the disarming?" the gruff clone asked. Mitchell soon responded and called out that the enemy was starting to hit them from behind now.

"Let's use their own weapons against them. Roadblock, Heavy Duty. Get on the MGs and start suppressing the guys from the rear. Everyone else, grab a Barret and start sniping. Remember your training and make sure to check your fire!" Robert shouted, grabbing a Barret M82 and began to snipe a few enemies that were attacking the guys below.

Machine gun and sniper fire soon began flying from the box but this time it was being sent towards the enemy instead of Mitchell and the others who were now starting to disable the nuclear bomb. Strafing a section of seats with his commandeered fifty caliber machine gun, Roadblock soon got a call on his commlink from Breach stating that the forces attacking the White House were coming under heavy fire and were starting to get pushed back. Quickly, the trooper informed his commander of the situation who told the trooper to focus on the battle at hand and worry about the others later.

Back down in the field, the Nest Team had taken quite a few casualties but had successfully disarmed the bombs remote detonator and had almost finished disarming the bomb when a sniper blew the head off one of the Nest soldiers. Quickly, the enemy sniper was eliminated by Riley who was reminded of the times he and his father used to go shooting at a gun range when he was old enough to shoot. "Bombs been disarmed!" Mitchell shouted excitedly over the radio as gunships from Kota's militia and the Midgard forces arrived to secure the area.

(End song)

"Mitchell, start tending to the prisoners in the stadium and get rid of the bomb. We can't let it be used at all! I'll head over to the White House, squad with me!" Robert instructed, throwing the sniper rifle he was using and made his way to the field with the others before they boarded a gunship again, this time heading for the white house.

Inside said building, a very overconfident President Trump was starting to kick back and relax as the sounds of battle echoed outside the building. One of his guards was suggesting that they consider evacuating, but the so-called leader of the American People simply stated that there was nothing to worry about.

(Soldiers Otherwise starts)

Or so he thought. Outside the building, the New Republic forces along with Rainbow, Midgard and the defectors from North Korea and China were firing back with every single weapon they had but the enemy was starting to gain the upper hand when they called in a few tanks which started to push them back.

A well-placed shot from Hevy's launcher slammed into the side an enemy T-72 while Fordo lobbed a grenade towards one of the other trenches before he fired away with his pistols with Rex and Cassie doing the same. The tanks destruction allowed Barney and the other Expendables along with Thomas, Rally and Velvet to move up and secure the trench the enemy had taken from them a few minutes ago.

"Looks like he made it." Rally stated after reloading her CZ 805 as a gunship landed behind them and running towards the battle was Robert and his squad. Much to their surprise, Robert had ditched his armor and was now wearing the same combat gear he wore on D'Qar with the only difference being that he had on a tank top in place of a shirt and wasn't wearing a helmet.

"What's the situation!?" Robert asked, spraying rounds with his ACR at the enemy before taking cover beside Barney.

"You're looking at the high ground kid. Trump's fortified the entire building and we've already lost a good amount of man-power. Breach and the others are doing their best to provide us with sniper support, but they refuse to take shots at the 'president'. They want to bring him into custody so he can stand trial for what he's done. But someone called Hammerdown, an air strike is on the way and they'll flatten the whole building in five minutes. We can't get through these tanks!" Barney explained, throwing down his empty M4 before he began to return fire with his Kimbers.

"Here! Take this. I'll clear a path!" Robert said to his uncle handing him the ACR and jumped out of the trench with his sabers ignited and he charged forwards. Anyone who wasn't connected to the force, had the same kind of armor or the training that Robert had would be killed in seconds, but Robert he wasn't a normal soldier.

Weapons fire from the enemy infantry not in the trenches was either sliced in half or redirected back at the Lone Wolf who continued to sink his teeth into the enemy showing no mercy to anyone who got in his way. His watch continued to count down the minutes before air strike would hit the building and he had to work fast.

Leaping into the air, he landed in the center of a large group of hostiles as the units behind him moved up to the next set of trenches. Calling on the force, Robert unleashed a medium powered Force Repulse which knocked out a lot of enemies which were then stunned and taken prisoner while the droids were sliced apart by Jedi like Shaak Ti, Anakin and Obi-Wan.

"What took you so long?" Anakin asked, deflecting a blast from a destroyer sniper into its side. Robert said nothing and just leapt into the air landing on top of the white house as Kyoto called out over the radio that an F16 was on route to destroy the white house. Quickly, Robert deactivated one of his sabers and pulled out a flare which he then ignited as the F16 pulled up after seeing the flare.

(End Song)

As the aircraft pulled away, a gunshot echoed behind him and he jumped out of the way. Turning around, Robert saw that Makarov had a Five-seven drawn and started to fire at him. Zigzagging out of the way of each shot, Robert got close to the Inner Circle leader and sucker punched him right in the face, causing the terrorist leader to drop their hand gun.

"You made a fucking mistake siding with Sidious." Robert snarled at Makarov, who drew a knife and lunged at Robert. The Lone Wolf blocked the strike from his opponent, and disarmed the terrorist of his weapon which he then attempted to plunge into the back of the terrorist leader, but the terrorist avoided it and tossed a flashbang which blinded Robert briefly, allowing Makarov to escape to the lower levels of the White House. "I've got Makarov, secure the building and get the President into custody!" Robert shouted into his commlink and immediately gave chase after Makarov.

He soon found himself in the lower levels of the building where Makarov was waiting for him. "You've been a real nuisance boy. Siding with the Sith Lord would have restored Russia to its rightful glory. But then you had to come in and interfere with those plans. I'll take great pleasure in finishing what Jana failed to accomplish." Makarov snarled and fired a ballistic knife into Roberts shoulder.

"FUCK!" Robert shouted in pain, pulling the knife out of him, only to give the Inner Circle leader the chance land several hard hitting blows on the Lone Wolf before tossing him into a wall. He then took out a handgun and chambered a round.

"Goodbye boy. Say hello to your father in hell." He gloated, raising his pistol and prepared to fire. Time seemed to slow down as Makarov's finger moved to pull the trigger only, he never got the chance before Captain Price and Soap arrived and riddled the terrorist's body with bullets from their rifles.

"That was for all the people you and Zakhaev killed you bastard." Price said as Makarov's body fell to the floor and the TF 141 captain flicked his cigar onto the body. "You good?" Price asked Robert.

Robert grinned. "Never better. Thanks for killing that bastard." He said, struggling to get up while a team of troopers came down to collect the body of Makarov while Soap patched up Robert as best he could. "Two down and many more to go. Hang on Ahsoka we're almost there." He said quietly to himself before passing out from the loss of blood. DC was liberated and the enemy had lost two leaders. As for Emeline, she found her daughter and that was a victory for the people who have something worth fighting for.

So, this took longer than I wanted to. Sorry for that, but my Grandpa is not doing so good and is probably on the last bits of his life so that was really starting to affect me mentally. He might not have much time left and I want to spend as much time with him as I can, before he dies.

Anyways, just a few more chapters to go before the story is finished. Anyone want to take a guess as to where the names of the clones came from? Go on guess and if you have any one liner's you'd like me to use, please leave them in a review. Until next time.
