Unlikely Allies
Five thousand meters over India
Major Mio Sakamoto
08:45 Local Time August 17th 2016
Mio was not a happy woman; as she sat in the cargo bay of the massive C-17 transport plane on her way to India. In the cargo bay with her were the British Captains Price and Mactavish as well as the Russian "Loyalist" Nikolai. They were on their way to meet up with the rest of the remnants of the White Russians, I.E. the Russians who rejected the Ultranationalist psychotic rule. Mio brooded over the last two days that had transpired after the assault on General Shepherd's base. First was the meeting that the Task Force had at the Department of Defense to clear their names; where much to Mio's surprise they met President Obama himself.
Flashback
"Captain Price, are you sure it is a good idea to be here?" Minna said to the leader of Task Force 141, who nodded in response.
"Yes Isabella said that she has already forwarded the evidence of Shepherd's betrayal to the American Government and she has been able to clear our names. Right now the DOD and the CIA want to debrief us about the current situation." Captain Price told Minna who seemed to now be a little at ease with the situation. Then Erica spoke.
"I don't know about this? How do we know that there aren't more Generals like Shepherd in the Military and we won't have a dozen mercenaries storm this room and kills us all?" Erica asked Price who grimaced.
"We don't we just have to trust them." He replied. Erica huffed in frustration.
"Like it or not, this meeting is the best chance we have of survival now and the best chance you all have of getting back to your world. So we just have to put our reservations aside and get on with it." Soap said to everyone who grumbled in agreement.
"Well just when the hell is someone going to debrief us then? We have already been waiting in this room for over six and a half hours in this dimly lit featureless room." Hanna said to anyone that was listening then Grinch spoke.
"It is a standard CIA tactic for these kinds of things they make you wait awhile and get tired before they debrief you. If you were planning on lying to them for any reason the school of thought is that you will be too tired to stick to the lie by the time they start to question you." Grinch informed them. Mio was about to interject by stating how she didn't intend to lie to anyone when the wall lit up and a screen appeared with the Logo for the U.S. Defense Department on it. A few seconds later the screen turned to a live image of an African American man in a business suit sitting at a desk. All of the members of the Task Force that had originated in this world stood at attention and saluted. Mio then noticed Eila and Sanya saluted the man as well. Mio got the hint that this man was important even though she didn't know who he was so she saluted him as well. One by one the remainder of the witches got the clue and saluted this mysterious man, who then finally spoke.
"At ease ladies and gentlemen." The man then paused for a second. "Do you know who I am?" he asked them. Eila then spoke to him.
"Yes sir, you are the President of the United States of America. Barrack Obama, am I correct?" Eila asked the man who nodded. So this was the mysterious U.S. President she heard so much about. Mio thought to herself that she would use this meeting to assess what she thought of the American leader.
"That is correct I am the President of this nation; and you must be Eila; I read the report from Corporal Marquez about you; and I have read the reports about your unit's actions in DC very impressive." President Obama told them.
"Thank you sir we were happy to be of help to this nation." Minna said to him. Obama nodded and then spoke.
"Marquez has told me everything that has happened over the last few days; about how you say that you arrived in this world and how Shepherd convinced you to join the Task Force to help further his agendas. I am sorry that your first experience in this world was so unpleasant." Obama said to them. Mio then spoke.
"It is alright sir; we helped fight off the Russians in the Capitol on our own freewill. Shepherd told us that he could help us find a way home, he said that he had a teleporter or something like that which he could use to get us back to our world, and that he would let us use it if we helped him stop the Russians." Mio told the U.S. President who thought for a minute.
"Yes so I have heard; but I am afraid I must deliver bad news to you then. Shepherd lied to you there is no such device in existence. Frankly our scientists think it is physically impossible to teleport a person without killing them in the process and even that is still theoretical. I am afraid that for now you are stuck here in this world." Obama informed them. An outburst of discontent and frustration broke out amongst the witches; Obama held up his hand. "I promise you that I will do whatever I can to see if there is a way to get back to your world but for now this country still needs your help." President Obama told them. The witches went silent and then looked to each other. Mio made eye contact with Minna and nodded to her.
"Sir we will help your country anyway we can." Minna told the U.S. President.
"Ok, as of yesterday Russian Naval forces landed troops in New York City and have established jamming towers on the U.S. Stock Exchange preventing our use of our more advanced weapon systems. Without our Air Force the battle for New York is a losing fight. Sandman I need your team to move in and disable the jamming tower to clear the way for our air support." President Obama told the American Delta Force leader.
"Yes sir we can be there in two days." Sandman told him. Then Hanna spoke.
"Mr. President Metal Team is down a man after Truck was killed by Shepherd's men I request permission to go with them as back up." Hanna said to the President.
"Alright you can go with them as well." He told her. Then Perrine began to speak.
"Sir I would also like to go with them as well on this mission. I have been to the New York back in my world so I am familiar with the area." Perrine requested of him.
"Ok you are free to go with them as well. Now Captain Price I still need Task Force 141 to go after Makarov, and unfortunately Shepherd managed to wipe out most of the Task Force in fact, you and Captain Mactavish are the only ones of the original Task Force left alive. I need you to find a way to get more operatives to join your unit." President Obama told Price.
"Mr. President I may have a solution to that problem." Nikolai stated to the President who lifted an eyebrow.
"Hmm what is it?" The President asked the Russian commando.
"After the fall of Moscow in 2011 the few remaining Loyalist managed to escape to India and have laid low for the last five years. I know where we can find them, and I am sure that they will be more than willing to help us in our fight against Makarov." Nikolai told him.
"India is mostly an irradiated wasteland at this point what makes you think that they are still alive?" President Obama asked Nikolai.
"They hid in a village in the middle of nowhere far from any major cities are potential targets of a Pakistani nuclear strike. They are still alive I know this for sure, as I received a short communication burst from them earlier today." Nikolai told the U.S. leader.
"Ok then you have my permission to link up with them I will have the 7th Fleet send ships with helicopters to evacuate the Loyalists." The President told them. Mio then spoke.
"I will go with them as well; we should probably explain to their leader exactly what my unit is before they join so they are not as… surprised when they finally see us." Mio said to President Obama.
"Fair enough you can go with Captain Price and the others to India. I will have an Air Force C-17 waiting for you shortly. As for the rest of your unit though I need you to say here and tell us everything you know about your world and the Neuroi. If you were able to get to this world that means that these… Aliens can get here as well and as you know we lack witches in this world so we need to know how to fight them with the technology we have." President Obama told them.
"Understood sir my girls will be more than happy to tell you everything we know about our enemy." Minna told him.
"Thank you. Oh and one last thing for security reasons when the Task Force is reformed we will need to give you cover I.D.s so you can better blend into the society at large. I will have the State Department give you all fake I.D.s stating that you are all over the age of eighteen and give you U.S. citizenship. We checked over the name directories for all of our world's versions of your home countries and no one else exists with your names so you can still keep your given names. But under no circumstances will you tell anyone else about your world or the Neuroi and outside of combat you must not use magic. The last thing we need is for you all to become public knowledge." President Obama told them. Mio thought to herself, other than Shirley none of the other witches looked or sounded like Americans so pulling off the act that they were Americans would be difficult.
"Sir as you probably already know most of us are not from our world's counterpart of America how will we be able to convince everyone that we are Americans?" Mio asked him.
"You won't, the CIA will provide you with your cover story, but without going into too much detail it will basically state that you are a foreign volunteer into the U.S. Military so you would get U.S. citizenship." President Obama told her.
Present Day
Mio was actually surprised by the meeting with the U.S. President. For all of the flak he seemed to get by the people that she had spoken to about him. Obama seemed like a decent leader nowhere near the incompetent fool Jerome made him out to be. Mio sighed; however good that might be he still told them that odds were they were not going to make it back to their world ever. As much as Mio hated the fact that she could no longer serve the Fusoan Empire, she could accept it because in this world she still had Minna which was enough for her. The other witches on the other hand were less pleased about that Gertrude seemed to slip into depression at the thought that she wouldn't be there for her sister; and Sanya was not pleased that she would never get to find her family back in Orussia. And Yoshika seemed to be in even worse shape than either of those two. Mio was actually quite worried about the young girl. When she had found out that she and Frost were still alive Mio had been relieved. But upon the discovery that Yoshika had to kill General Shepherd in order to save Frost bothered Mio. As hard as Mio had been on Yoshika since they had gotten to this world she did respect her wish to not kill anyone; and seeing that she was forced to kill Shepherd in order to save Frost it seemed that her decision weighed deeply on the young women. The news that they were effectively stuck in this world put Yoshika in an even worse state of depression. Yoshika hadn't said much to anyone since that day. After she healed Frost's injuries she just seemed to go into auto pilot and only interact with others when she was forced to. After seeing this Mio had ordered Lynnette to watch after Mio's protégée and keep track of her mental state; though it was not that Mio really needed to be ordered to do so. Lynne had not left Yoshika's side since she found her. Captain Price's voice shook her out of her thoughts.
"Hey, Major if you want to see what the aftermath of a nuclear explosion looks like just look out your window." Captain Price told her. Mio nodded and looked out her window. Below her was what used to be a city, now it was just a desolate crater with the edges lined with an endless field of debris from destroyed buildings. Mio frowned. Is this what mankind had become in this world? Killers of such immense power that entire cities could be wiped off the map at will. Mio thought to herself; what would Fuso look like if one of those bombs detonated in Tokyo or Hiroshima. Mio hoped she would never have to find out. Mio tried to shake herself free of such thoughts and found herself wondering about another revelation that had happened in the last few days.
Flashback
"Major Sakamoto, Commander Minna you might want to take a look at this." Eila said to them. Mio turned around to face the platinum blonde haired witch who was holding onto a series of files.
"What are they?" Minna asked her.
"They are psyche evaluations for all of the witches in our unit; including Hanna's. I haven't got a chance to look over them in too much depth but from what I have seen they are very detailed. They know things about us that they shouldn't, deeply held secrets and such things we never told anyone about. Worse yet I found them on Shepherd's desk in his quarters. Here do you want to take a look at them?" Eila asked her. Mio held up her hand.
"No thank you but I need you to look over them in detail to see how much Shepherd knew about us and how he might have gotten this information on us." Mio told her.
"Alright I will read them in detail as soon as I get the chance." Eila said to her.
Present Day
How did Shepherd have all of this information on them he couldn't possibly have discerned it from the short while they were in his presence. No he had to have gotten it from somewhere else but where? But that was a question for another time. Mio did have something to be happy about now. During the battle with Jerome she had learned that she could still use the Reppuzan in this world. Mio was actually rather desperate in that fight and had only used it because she had run out of options. Mio half expected that nothing would happen and that Jerome would have decapitated her after she was thrown off balance in the attack. Fortunately for her the attack worked, and with rather messy results. Mio actually was a little surprised that her Reppuzan would have done so much damage to a human target. Mio expected to see a clean cut straight down the middle of her target, but instead Jerome turned into an explosion of blood and gore when the magical blast of energy tore into him. Anyway now that she knew she could use the Reppuzan she figured that she could still practice using the Shin-Reppuzan and master it for when or rather if she made it back to her world. The Pilot then spoke over the Radio.
"Attention we are fifteen mikes away from the target get ready everyone to make the jump." The pilot told them.
"Ok lady and gentlemen let's get ready for the drop." Soap said as he put on his helmet and oxygen mask. Mio declined the helmet that was offered to her when she was boarding the plane. She told the Soap that if Eila and Sanya could survive in the vacuum of space without any protective gear; then Mio could handle a HALO jump without a mask just fine.
Five Thousand Meters over the Loyalist Hide Out, India
Captain John "Soap" Mactavish
09:40 Local time
The ramp on the big American plane went down and the unit stood up and started to walk down it. Soap looked back to Major Sakamoto who now sported a pair of animal ears indicating that she was using her magic to survive in the low oxygen and high pressure. Soap had to admit that for such a young women she really did have guts to be doing this. Then again from what he had seen the witches were basically super soldiers equal to that of any spec ops unit in this world. Actually it was quite frightening, to think that back in their world if the witches wanted to they could probably roll over the rest of mankind and establish some kind of Oligarchy of witches. Fortunately it appeared that the witches were by nature good people, a little eccentric but basically decent and nice to be around. Soap got to the edge of the ramp and spoke into the radio.
"Ok people we are going to be landing into the Loyalists Camp so check your weapons when you land. The last thing we need is to turn these guys against us." Soap said to the group, then Nikolai spoke.
"Oy you don't need to tell me twice I was hanging out with these people until you called me to pick you up from Rio." Nikolai chuckled. Soap and Price both laughed, and even Mio smirked a little.
"Ok we jump on three got it? 1…2…3 GO!" Soap yelled as he jumped from the plane. The cold air whistled by him as he dove down closer to his target below. As he passed through some clouds and saw the Loyalist base he did noticed that it seemed like Nikolai was right this place did seem like it was spared the ravages of nuclear war. Soap shook his mind free of those thoughts and focused on the fall. This wasn't his fist HALO jump nor would it be his last. Back in the SAS Soap had down dozens if not hundreds of HALO jumps over enemy targets. That being said each drop was unique and thrilling in its own ways. Soap waited until the altimeter in his helmet dropped to four hundred meters before he pulled the cord on his chute. The parachute opened and yanked him back. Soap glided into the Loyalist camp and touched down with the grace that only a seasoned spec ops warrior could have. Soap looked back to see Price and Nikolai land just as gracefully, while Major Sakamoto landed with a harder thud but still much better than most beginners would have done. Soap looked around the Loyalist base. It was a village of some sorts some of the villagers stared out at them from cracked windows and doors; they were all waiting to see what the newcomers would do once they landed. Soap looked down the street to see a squad of armed men and women in grey and black uniforms approaching them. Soap waved to them, and the one in the middle of the group waved back. Soap strained his eyes to see who he was. Then Nikolai yelled.
"Kamarov hey long time no see!" Nikolai yelled. Kamarov now there was a sight for sore eyes. Soap and Price did owe the Russian soldier their lives; then again the inverse was also true, Price saved Kamarov's life in Beirut. Kamarov in the other Russian came up closer to them.
"Nikolai, Price and Soap it is so great to see you again." Kamarov said as he embraced Nikolai in one of his signature bear hugs. Soap looked over at Kamarov and noticed that his hair was mostly grey now. But other than that he still looked pretty good for a man who was nearly sixty years old.
"Kamarov it is good to see you again." Soap said as he stuck out his hand. Kamarov smiled and took Soap's hand and shook it.
"Yes it is nice to see you to once again how is the arm?" Kamarov asked. It took a while for Soap to remember what he was talking about but then remembered how he broke his arm during the mission to kill Zakhaev five years ago.
"It healed up pretty nicely." Soap told the big Russian who then looked to Price.
"Ah Price I see you made it out of the Gulag. Nikolai told me all about it." Kamarov said to Price who nodded.
"Yeah that wasn't a particularly fun experience." Price told him. Kamarov frowned.
"Sorry we didn't get you out sooner we had no idea that you were still alive Captain." Kamarov told the Task Force leader who nodded his head.
"It's alright I understand." Price simply stated. Kamarov then noticed Major Sakamoto and lifted an eyebrow. "Who is she?" Kamarov asked Price. Before Price could answer Major Sakamoto spoke.
"I am Major Mio Sakamoto of the Task Force 141; formally of the Japanese Naval Special Forces." Major Sakamoto told him. Kamarov didn't look convinced.
"Aren't you a little young to be from a Spec Ops team; and last I heard Japan didn't have a Spec Ops unit." Kamarov stated. Before Major Sakamoto could respond Price interjected.
"In time we will explain everything but not here." Price told the Russian who nodded. Then one of the other Loyalists tapped Kamarov on the shoulder.
"Sir we have reports of two dozen plus helicopters crossing the border and heading for this base." The soldier told Kamarov.
"How do we know that they aren't just the remnants of the Pakistani Army fighting what is left of the Indian Army?" Kamarov asked the soldier.
"No it's Makarov coming to clean house. Kamarov who is your best man?" Price asked the Russian Sergeant.
"Yuri ex-Spetsnaz he is the only man I know who hates Makarov more than you." Kamarov told him.
"Ok call him up and get everyone armed. The U.S. Navy is sending choppers to evacuate all of us from the village but we need to hold off Makarov's men for at least an hour." Price told Kamarov who nodded.
"Ok what should we do to prepare for a defense?" Kamarov asked Price.
"Makarov's troops are going to come in from the south and use the ridgeline for cover. So we need to set up our troops with MANPADS near the south gate." Price told the Russian Sergeant who nodded.
"Ok but how do you know they will come in from the south?" Kamarov asked him. Price readied his weapon and looked to Kamarov.
"Because it is what I would do."
Loyalist Base India
Yuri
09:49 Local time
"I count three Havocs and four… no five Mi-17s; commandos fast roping in!" One of the Loyalist shouted over the radio. Yuri cocked his M4A1 and looked down the ACOG scope at some of the enemy commandos forming up to assault the village. Three burning wrecks marked the funeral pyres of the first wave of helicopters that tried to attack the village. They didn't make it within a hundred meters of the gates as Strela missiles swatted them from the skies above. But despite that success the men with the Strela missiles were now all dead due to the enemy Havocs that attacked them with rockets and cannon shells blowing the Loyalists to pieces. Yuri switched the M4 to three round burst and fired at one of the lead commandos striking him in the upper chest, spraying the man behind him in blood. The commandos quickly got to cover and laid down suppressing fire from their AN-94 assault rifles. Yuri ducked down as a flurry of bullets crashed through the window he had fired out of. Yuri swore then ran out of the room and went downstairs. Two other Loyalists were there. The first was a man named Alexi the unit's radio man and the other was the unit's sniper Cryska a silver haired women of twenty four years of age. Despite her young and innocent appearance Yuri knew that when in battle she became a merciless killer. Alexi tapped Yuri on the shoulder.
"What?" Yuri asked with clear annoyance in his voice.
"Sergeant Kamarov wants to see you in the command center." Alexi told him. Yuri huffed in annoyance.
"Tell him I am busy." Yuri replied curtly. That Kamarov was always on his case. "Do this or do that. Come socialize with us." Kamarov just couldn't take the fucking hint that Yuri wanted to be left alone.
"He says he wants to see you now and that is an order." Alexi told him. Yuri spat and gave in.
"Fine but you are taking point Alexi." Yuri told the radio man who nodded. Then Cyrska spoke.
"I will cover you." She simply stated. Yuri looked into her deep purple eyes and nodded. As much as he hated everyone in the loyalist camp and especially despised Cryska's sweet innocent girl routine outside of battle; Yuri knew that he could rely on her to actually watch his six. Alexi got by the door and checked his AEK-971; he then leaned outside the door and scanned for any threats. He then gestured for Yuri to move up. Yuri ran up and vaulted over a chest high wall and looked back to see any threats; after seeing that the area was clear he gestured for Alexi to move up. Alexi started to sprint up when four black clad commandos breached one of the walls and opened fire on them, a lone bullet striking Alexi's shoulder throwing him to the ground. Yuri aimed at the nearest one and fired a three round burst into his head which popped like a ripened tomato as three high velocity rifle rounds smacked into it. The commandos noticed him and fired at him with their PP-2000s as they ran to cover behind a derelict minivan. Bullets chipped the wall he hid behind and he felt the hot wind of a round pass by his face. Yuri fired another three bursts at one of the commandos smacking into his chest throwing him to the ground and giving the wall behind him a new paint job. One of the commandos leaned up from out of cover to fire at him but Cryska blew his head off with her SVU. Yuri jumped over the wall he was hiding behind and picked Alexi off the ground.
"Damn it you klutz. Do I have to clean up after all of your messes?" Yuri snarled at Alexi as he helped the injured man get to cover.
"Very sorry sir it won't happen again." Alexi stated.
"Your damn right it won't because next time I am leaving your ass behind." Yuri informed him. Yuri and Alexi moved down the street edging closer to the command center when a Mi-28 Havoc flew overhead cannon blazing. Hot brass rained down on them one spent shell landed in Yuri's shirt burning his flesh. Yuri faltered but didn't drop Alexi. The sound of battle was everywhere as the Loyalists fought off these unknown attackers; who were they Makarov's men or were they the Russian government coming to finish them off. Now was not the time to think though that could come later. Alexi and Yuri limped along to the command center and Yuri helped Alexi into the infirmary.
"Thank you Yuri for not leaving me behind." Alexi told him. Yuri rolled his eyes.
"Whatever just don't expect it to happen again." Yuri told him as he walked out of the infirmary. He then walked into the command room where Kamarov and some new comers stood looking over a map. Yuri recognized one of the men as Nikolai a skilled hacker and pilot. The others looked British and to Yuri's surprise one of them was a young Asian woman with a sword on her back and an eye patch across her right eye. Yuri would have just assumed that she was eye candy but the way she carried herself made Yuri second guess himself. Yuri walked over to Kamarov. "Well I am here what do you want." Yuri said in Russian as a deliberate insult to the foreigners who were in their midst. Kamarov looked back to him and then spoke in English.
"This here is Captain Price and Captain Mactavish of Task Force 141 they have a special assignment for you." Kamarov told him. Price stuck out his hand but Yuri didn't bother to shake it. Price frowned and then began to speak.
"In thirty minutes a flight of American V-22 will be here to extract us out of this site but in order for them to land we need to take out the enemy helicopters and infantry attacking this base. Kamarov has informed me that you have a UGV in the village and I need you to pilot it for us. Without the UGVs firepower we aren't going to be able to secure this LZ." Price informed Yuri who nodded.
"That is all fine and dandy but you do know that the UGV is on the other side of town which is controlled by the enemy." Yuri replied. Price nodded.
"I know that is why I am sending Soap and Major Sakamoto with you." Price told him. Yuri lifted an eyebrow.
"Who is Major Sakamoto?" Yuri asked Price. Then the young women spoke.
"That would be me. Major Mio Sakamoto Japanese Naval Special Forces." The little girl told him. Yuri couldn't help himself he actually busted up laughing at her. How could this little girl be a Major in a Special Forces unit?
"Oh please give me a break." Yuri stated in between laughs. Major Sakamoto didn't say anything she just lifted her eye patch and opened her right eye revealing a glowing violet colored eye. At around that time the ears of a dog or something appeared on her head.
"I can assure you I am not joking with you." Major Sakamoto told him. Yuri stopped laughing. What the fuck was this freak suppose to be anyway? Then Yuri heard several metallic thunks on the ground and the sound of spraying gas.
"Gas! Everyone get your masks on and prepare for chemical warfare!" Kamarov shouted as Yuri and everyone else in the room grabbed their gas masks. Then there was the sound of a helicopter directly overhead followed by several large thuds. "They just landed on the roof get your weapons ready people." Kamarov told them. Yuri reloaded his M4 and switched to full auto. Things were about to get interesting.
Loyalist base India
Major Mio Sakamoto
09:58 Local time
An explosion ripped the door off its hinges as five commandos burst through the door. Price lunged at the first one placing the muzzle of his pistol beneath one of the commando's chins and pulling the trigger. A halo of blood bloomed out from the top of his head as Price pushed his body into the others that were cramming through the door. Mio shouldered her PDR and fired into the crowd of enemies. Everyone in the command room fired at the enemy soldiers their bodies literarily coming apart as hundreds of bullets tore into them. Mio ran to the side of the door as Price tossed a stun grenade down the hallways after the detonation of the grenade Mio knelt down and leaned around the corner as Price left the room and fired his pistol at the stunned enemies. Mio did the same with her PDR she lined up one of the soldiers heads in her reflex sight and fired a single bullet into his head, the bullet impacting his right eye and tearing it out of its socket. A large explosion then shook the building and deafened Mio momentarily. Mio looked back to see a massive hole in the wall of the command center and the shredded corpses of two of the White Russians in the room with them. Kamarov then looked to them.
"Go get the UGV we will cover you from here!" He shouted as he fired his AK-47 from the hole in the wall. Mio nodded and got to her feet. Soap and Yuri (or as she had already mentally marked him down "asshole") ran out into the hallway then gestured for her to come up. Mio advanced up towards them and got to where the stairs were. She leaned over them to see if anyone was below. The area was clear so she gestured for her companions to follow her. Mio went down the stairs and got to the main entrance to the building. In the courtyard outside a battle raged between Makarov's men and the Loyalists. The black clad soldiers were better armed and trained then the loyalists who were using a mix mash of secondhand American and Russian guns. Soap patted Mio on the shoulder.
"I will flank to the left with Yuri you flank to the right clear?" Soap asked her.
"I understand." Mio told him. She advanced out of the doorway into the courtyard she dashed to the left as gunfire pocketed the ground around her. Mio fired the remaining bullets in her magazine in the general direction of the enemy soldiers; she didn't know if she managed to hit any of them. Before Mio got a chance to reload her PDR an enemy soldier stepped out in front of her five meters away pointing his rifle at her. He fired his gun as Mio dove to the ground drawing her P99 pistol in the process. Mio lined up her target in her sights and pulled the trigger again and again. The black clad soldier staggered back as twelve 9mm rounds smacked into his chest. Finally the Russian slumped over to the ground dead. Mio quickly reloaded her pistol and drew her sword. She tossed the pistol into her left hand so she could use her dominant hand to swing her katana. Mio rounded the corner of the courtyard and saw two enemy soldiers reloading their guns. Mio let out a battle cry and jumped into the air swinging her sword down onto the nearest Russian's skull diagonally slicing his head off from his left ear to his right jaw bone. The second Russian staggered back and tried to point his rifle at her. Mio kicked it aside and stabbed him through the eye. Mio put her boot on the man's chest and kicked him off her sword. Just then Soap and asshole (sorry she meant Yuri) rounded the corner. Yuri nodded in respect and continued on walking out of the front gate of the facility.
"Major come on the UGV isn't that much farther away." Soap told her as she flicked the blood off her sword and sheathed it. She then put her P99 in her right hand and advanced out of the facility with Soap.

Captain John "Soap" Mactavish
10:07 Local time
Soap noticed that Mio had dropped her PDR. Normally he would have said something; but it appeared that Major Sakamoto preferred close combat anyway so he wasn't going to make a fuss about it. Soap wished he could wipe the sweat from his brow but if he did so he would have to take off his gas mask which would leave him exposed to the deadly gas. Soap looked down the street and saw dozens of dead civilians that were caught in the open when the Ultranationalist gassed them. Mio noticed this to.
"Bastards; using poison gas on civilians what a bunch of cowards." Major Sakamoto stated with clear disgust in her voice. Soap nodded in agreement before Yuri spoke.
"Makarov will do whatever it takes to get rid of us if it means gassing some civilians in the process he has no qualms about it." Yuri simply stated. Soap nodded, after chasing that evil bastard for three years now Soap had learned that Makarov would not hesitate to do something extreme if it furthered his agenda. Down the street one hundred meters away eight commandos got into position and began to fire at them. Soap aimed his M4A1 and fired a short burst at one of the exposed commandos his bullets struck home sending the man to the ground in a spray of blood.
"Major, Yuri cover me." Soap said as he advanced to the next piece of cover firing his rifle in short controlled bursts each time. He didn't hit any of the Russians but he kept their heads down which was what was important. Soap closed so that he was within fifty meters of the Russians when he gestured for the Major and Yuri to move up. One Russian raised his head to squeeze a shot off when Soap aimed for the Russians head before it disintegrated into an explosion of blood and bone. Then another Russian was bisected followed by another and another. After thirty seconds the commandos were all dead. From Soap's left a young silver haired women carrying an SVU sniper rifle walked out of one of the buildings. Soap moved up to where the Russians had been killed and looked down the alley to his right. Yuri and Mio followed suit, then the Russian women was by Soap's side.
"Hello Tommy." She said to him deadpan. Soap rolled his eyes.
"Hi, thanks for killing those guys for us but who are you?" Soap asked her. It was hard to read her expression behind her gas mask but Soap could see into her eyes and was more than a little freaked out. Last time he saw eyes like that they belonged to an Iranian Sniper working as a hired gun for the Shadow of Zakhaev.
"Call me Cryska." She simply stated. Soap nodded.
"Ok Cryska we are making a break for the UGV will you cover us as we advance?" Soap asked her. Cryska nodded the steely determination was still in her eyes. Soap thought to himself god was she ever misnamed "Cute Rat"? Seriously? Soap then gestured for Mio and Yuri to advance up to a pair of cars on the sides of the road. Mio and Yuri went up the road when two Russians on one of the roof tops stood up and began firing at them. Soap let out a stream of full auto fire at the Russian on the left; bullets tore into him as he fell off the roof. Cryska fired at the other one blowing his left leg off at the need causing him to tumble over the edge of the roof and land head first into the ground. Soap and Cryska moved up. As they advanced a Reaper drone flew overhead and fired a Hellfire missile at one of the nearby buildings blowing it apart. "Shit we don't have the fire power to take out that Reaper." Soap said to them.
"Either way we must continue with our mission because if it returns we are all fucked." Yuri stated to Soap who nodded.
"Ok Yuri you take point." Soap told Yuri who nodded. They took a left and headed down the street. When they got to the edge of the street they ducked inside of a house. Yuri fired two burst from his M4 dropping two commandos hiding inside. Soap and the others followed Yuri into the backyard. Yuri went to a shed and opened the door. They entered the shed and Yuri leaned down opening a hatch, revealing a stair case descending into the ground. Yuri started heading down the stairs and Soap followed him. They arrived in the basement where a large crate was in the center of the room. Soap grabbed a crowbar and pulled the side of the crate open revealing a large UGV armed with an M134 and an MK19 grenade launcher. "Ok Yuri the controls are in Russian it's your show now." Soap said to the Russian loyalist who nodded and sat at a computer terminal. He looked back to Soap.
"You might want to get out of the way Captain." Yuri told him. Soap sidestepped as the UGV rolled out and smashed through the wooden barrier leading outside.

Yuri
10:18 Local time
Yuri smashed out of the barricades of the basement and drove the drone onto the street. Several enemy commandos were in the open and were stunned by the appearance of the new threat. Yuri opened up on them with the Minigun and turned the first three enemies into red mist the fourth jumped to the left but bullets ripped his leg off. The Russian cried out in pain as he bled out. Yuri drove the drone over him crushing the life out of the fallen opponent. Yuri drove the drone down the street most of the enemy commandos had regained their composure and began to fire at the drone. Yuri fired the MK19 at them; 40 millimeter grenades spewed thousands of flechettes into the enemies tearing them apart. The enemy commandos were not prepared to come up against this kind of threat. They mostly came with SMGs and assault rifles expecting a close quarter's urban battle. They lacked the anti-tank weapons to take out the UGV. Yuri saw a Mi-17 fly overhead getting ready to fast rope troops into the base; he turned the Minigun on the helicopter and sent a steady stream of 7.62mm shells into the enemy chopper, ripping through the crew cabin and sending the helicopter spiraling out of control. Yuri then saw one of the remaining Havocs flying in on an attack run to take him out; so he fired a stream of six grenades at the chopper smacking into its rotor blades causing the helicopter to crash into the ground. Down the street a group of commandos ran out into the open unaware of the grave danger the UGV posed. Like fire from a dragon's mouth a stream of gunfire from the Minigun taught them their fatal mistake. The UGV advanced down the street firing at any commando it saw tearing them apart with grenades and gunfire. Yuri made his way to the command center to see if he could rout the enemy's attack on the building. The commandos had gotten into cover and were aiming for the optics of the drone; but they were armored against small arms fire so they might as well have been throwing spitballs at the drone. Suddenly the drones screen went blank and a loud explosion was heard coming from outside.
"Fuck! That must have been the Reaper making another attack run." Yuri shouted. Soap then spoke.
"Ok we are going to proceed back to the command center on foot everyone check your ammo and get ready." Soap said to the group. Yuri checked the ammo on his M4 and rolled his shoulders in anticipation of the fight. This is what he was good at and with every man he killed today he sent a message to Makarov. I am coming for you mother fucker.

Nikolai

"Come on you chicken shits, are you to afraid to face some real Russians" Nikolai shouted to the commandos as he fired another burst from his AKS-74U. Nikolai reloaded his gun and ducked back into cover. Kamarov was next to him firing his AK-47 at the enemy commandos as well. Other than one more loyalist in the room named Dmitri; the only surviving people in the command room where Kamarov, Price and himself. Nikolai leaned out of cover and fired a burst of fire from his carbine. Seven 5.45mm rounds impacted a Russian commando with a flamethrower trying to be a hero and storming their position.
"Shit where are the Americans?" Kamarov asked anyone who was listening. Price then spoke.
"Don't worry they will be here just keep shooting." Price shouted to Kamarov over the gunfire. Nikolai threw a grenade at the enemy position. The RGD-5 grenade spewed metal fragments all over their position turning several of the commandos to hamburger meat. Bullets nicked the wall that Nikolai was hiding behind so he rolled to the left and stuck his gun out of a small hole in the wall firing another fifteen rounds of his carbine in their general direction. Nikolai saw the enemy UCAV fly overhead firing a missile into one of the buildings that his men were hiding in. if they didn't take out that drone it was only a matter of time before it was all over. Nikolai fired his remaining ammo into the enemy and then reloaded. He swore; Nikolai only had one magazine left. Nikolai leaned out to fire at the Russians again. He sighted up an enemy commando and fired five rounds into him, the man went down. Nikolai then fired another six rounds at a man with an LMG getting ready to fire at them. Nikolai then sighted a man with a grenade launcher and fired ten rounds in his general direction. Just then Nikolai saw the Reaper turning into their position. It was all over in a few seconds they would all be dead. Nikolai was about to say a last prayer when the Reaper exploded into pieces and an F/A-18E Super Hornet from the U.S. Navy flew overhead. The loyalists all let out a cheer as the jet turned around and did a strafing run on some of the commandos. Then out of nowhere two AH-1Z Vipers flew over the town spewing cannon and rocket fire into the enemy soldiers below. Nikolai dropped his gun and fell to his knees. He then started to laugh he actually thought he was going to die today. But as fate would have it he was going to live to see another day.

Captain John "Soap" Mactavish
10:44 Local time
Soap watched as everyone assembled into the landing Zone where four V-22s waited for them. Twenty Marine Force Recon troops stood by for security as the AH-1Zs circled overhead to look out for any stragglers. Mio walked up to Soap and spoke.
"So these men and women will really help us take out Makarov?" She asked him. Soap nodded.
"Yes just because they are Russians doesn't mean they have any love for their nations current government or Makarov for that matter." Soap told her. Mio then looked to Yuri who was boarding a chopper away from them.
"That one there; Yuri he may be an asshole but at least he knows how to fight." She said to him Soap nodded.
"Yes he doesn't seem like he is a particularly friendly one does he." Soap stated to the Major who nodded. Then Cryska walked up to Soap.
"So are we really going to America?" She asked him. Soap nodded.
"Yes when we arrive at the fleet they will take us to an airfield where we will fly back to Fort Campbell in the United States." Soap said to her. Cryska's eyes lit up and she smiled in glee.
"That is great I love shopping in America I can't wait till I get State side." She said with a look of pure happiness on her face. Soap was dumbstruck was this the cold sniper that he was talking to just a few minutes ago; mercilessly gunning down enemy soldiers with ease? Soap thought to himself he didn't know what was more disturbing when she was in battle or that a person like that could act like a little school girl when she didn't have a gun in her hands.
So the Task Force has assembled XD. i hope you liked that chapter and enjoyed the action. oh for those wondering Mio was making up her cover ID as she went when she mentioned that she was "Japanese Naval Special Forces" which by the way doesnt exsist which makes that part even funnier in my opinion. also what did you think of my OC Cryska good, bad i am curious as to your opinion on it because if you guys didnt like her she probably wont show up anymore. i seriously just wrote her in today i hadn't planned her character out or anything. anyways please do R/R and fav/follow as that will encourage me to write faster XD
