Goalpost
The Pentagon USA
General David Petraeus "Overlord"
11:15 local time
General David Petraeus stared at the various monitors in the command room watching the news coverage of the chemical attacks unfold.
"At 6:22 Greenwich Mean Time, chemical attacks were triggered across Europe." A news caster from the United Kingdom Broadcast Network informed the audience. David looked at the various birds' eye view of the devastation. It looked like Makarov used an advanced strain of Nova 6 as people seemed to have had their skin melted off. Another monitor had a SAS commander speaking on it.
"I repeat: Downing Street is within the contamination radius, over!" The SAS commander said over the radio. Then David shifted his attention to another monitor with a GIGN commander on it.
"This is GIGN HQ. My men are dead or dying!" He said as he struggled with his gas mask. He coughed a bit before speaking again. "I have been exposed!" He said as he fell to the ground. It appeared that every major city had been struck in this terrorist attack. Tens of millions were probably dead already with more to follow in the coming days. Then David got an urgent call from Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
"This is Ramstein! We are under attack!" the base commander said. He had no audio to go with the voice call.
"Roger we are aware of the gas attack and are sending decon units your way." David replied to the American commander.
"Not the gas! We're under attack by Russian ground forces!" The base commander replied. David exchanged nervous glances with some of his support staff.
"Say again what Russian ground forces?" David inquired.
"The entire Russian Army! Request immediate assistance!" The base commander shouted. A gasp of shock escaped everyone in the command room. Just then the threat board lit up as hundreds; no thousands of Russian planes and ships crossed the border into EU territory and attacked every major EU city in the country. On the Polish and German border tens of thousands of Russian tanks stormed across the frontier into German and Polish territory. Just then a reporter from Paris spoke over the TV.
"Our witnesses are now reporting Russian tanks rolling down the…" The broadcast was cut off as satellite coverage was lost.
"This was no act of terrorism. The attacks were intended to cripple our defenses and pave the way for an invasion." General Petraeus said aloud. Then one of his support staff spoke.
"Sir we lost contact with the delegation in Hamburg." He informed David who nodded. David then got on the line to contact Metal Team at Task Force 141.
"Metal 0-1 this is Overlord actual. You are being re-routed to Hamburg. We have got a principal level hostage rescue." David informed the American Delta Force leader.
"Who is it?" Sandman asked David.
"The Vice President." David simply told him.
Onboard the USS San Antonio
Staff Sergeant Derek Westbrook "Frost"
11:00 local time
Sandman looked back to the assembled Task Force members. The witches and the Delta Force commandos were assembled on deck.
"Ok people our mission is the rescue the Vice President callsign Goalpost. We will have two M1A2 Abrams tanks for ground support along with a Marine squad callsign Rouge." He informed the group. As he spoke five marines approached the group. "Speaking of which here they are now." Sandman said. The lead marine was a sergeant with salt and pepper hair and icy blue eyes. He shook Sandman's hand.
"I am Sergeant Mark Rooker United States Marines." The Sergeant told them. Then the next marine spoke a tall African American with a beanie hat and his uniform fitted with extra pouches for M203s.
"Yo I am corporal Tyron King, demolitions." He told the group as he shook everyone's hands. The next marine then spoke; this one was a rust colored hair marine; with his selves rolled up and a Shemah wrapped around his neck.
"Lance Corporal Allen Ricther squad automatic riflemen; at your service." The squad's SAW gunner told the group. Then one of the marines wearing a ski mask and light armor spoke.
"Private First Class Robert Falken DMR sirs." He told them. Finally the last marine a young Latina woman with short black hair and dark brown eyes spoke.
"I am Private First Class Carmen Ramirez the squad's riflemen." She told the group. Frost recognized the name and spoke.
"Hey Carmen do you have a brother in the Rangers named James by any chance?" Frost asked her. Carmen nodded her head.
"Yeah I do why do you ask?" She replied to him.
"We met him back in DC he was a good soldier." Frost told her.
"Huh small world eh?" she replied. Then Sandman spoke.
"Ok well let us introduce ourselves. My name is Sandman callsign Metal 0-1. I am this unit's leader. That guy right there is Grinch, and the guy with the mask is Frost." He told the group. He then pointed to the various witches.
"That is Minna Dietlinde-Wilcke, that is Gertrude Barkhorn, that is Charlotte Yeager, that is Erica Hartmann, She is Sanya V. Litvyak, and finally she is Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen." Sandman said to the marines. Sergeant Rooker then spoke.
"Aren't they a little young to be part of a spec ops unit?" he asked Sandman. Then Ricther spoke.
"Wait a minute are these those super soldiers who helped out with retaking the Capitol Building?" He asked them. Then Shirley spoke.
"Yup that was us; in fact Trudy, Frost and I were the ones who lit the flares on the roof of the building ourselves." Shirley told him.
"Damn that is bad ass!" Ricther replied. Sandman then butted in.
"Alright people enough chit chat lets go over our mission details." Sandman said to the group. "Our mission is to rescue Vice President Joe Biden; callsign Goalpost. Five hours ago his convoy went silent and we fear that he may have been captured by the Russians. We are going to move in with the Marines and their tanks to get as close to the convoy's last known location as possible. When we verify Goalposts location we will have Raptor 4 evac us out. Eila and Sanya I want you two on this mission. Grinch, Minna, Trudy, Erica and Shirley I want you to stay behind onboard the San Antonio. If things go tits up for us we want you to be part of a QRF to help pull our asses out of the fire clear?" Sandman asked the witches and Grinch.
"Yeah brother I hear you." Grinch replied. Minna then spoke.
"Yes we understand we will be waiting to provide assistance as needed." Minna said to Sandman.
"Alright then. Rouge actual I want you guys to help cover us on this mission. You think you can do that?" Sandman said to the marines.
"Yes sir we will watch your six." Rooker told Sandman who nodded.
"Ok people we are going to be going into a serious shit storm out there. From what I hear it is going to be like Normandy all over again. The Russians have forward deployed armor and gunship support to cover their paratroopers who have already secured the city. So we are going to be heavily outnumbered. Additionally the causalities suffered by the civilians and German military units in the city is near total. In other words if it isn't wearing a U.S. military kill it." Sandman told the assembled unit.
"Yes sir!" they replied in unison. Sandman then spoke again.
"Ok people we are expected to be in helicopter range in ninety minutes get your kit ready and move out." Sandman said to the operators.
"Welcome to World War Three." Frost said under his breath.
The Imperial Palace Neue Karlsland
Emperor Fredrick Wilhelm the Fourth
13:11 local time
It had been most distressing that the Neuroi had sent an assassin after him; most distressing indeed. But so far the assassin had failed every attempt it had made. First it attacked the front gate directly killing four guards in the process before fleeing. Then it attacked the loading docks by the lake. Again this ended in failure when his honor guard closed in on it with Tigers and armored cars. Then it had attacked via the roof but a squadron of witches drove it off. Finally most recently it had attacked of the old service tunnels beneath the base, which was odd because they were kept secret from everyone but Fredrick's most trusted guards. This assassin the Neuroi had sent was most unusual as many of its victims had the tops of their skulls removed and their brains missing. This baffled the Emperor of Karlsland because it seemed to defy all logic. The Neuroi didn't eat to his knowledge so what happened to the brains of all of those dead soldiers? Well perhaps now was not the time to worry about it as this assassin only seemed to come at night and his honor guards had ensured him that the palace was impenetrable and he was perfectly safe here. The Emperor looked out the plated glass of his sun room as he drank his tea. Below in the garden his wife and two children played below. Fredrick smiled. He loved his family more than anything in the world. They were what got him up in the morning and helped him weather any storm. He had one son and one daughter both of them aged nine. His son Eric was an energetic young boy who was like Fredrick was himself a technophile who loved to tinker with things. His daughter Eva was more shy and reserved and loved to help his wife Helga garden. Right now in fact both Eva and Helga were picking Roses from the garden while Eric was flying his kite.
His family right now was surrounded by their guards; over a dozen armed with the new Stg44 storm rifles as Fredrick liked to call them. He remembered showing the Stg44s to General Eisenhower who claimed that storm rifles would be the infantry weapon of the future; combining the fire rate of an SMG with the accuracy and power of a rifle; they truly were a weapon of the future. Fredrick noticed a rustle from one of the bushes that seemed unusual since there hardly was any wind.
Then one of the guards nearest to Eric was sliced in half at the waist, blood and guts spraying in all directions. A man shaped jet black figure appeared where the guard used to be. Its arms and legs were thick and ended in clawed hands and feet. Where its mouth should be instead laid a set of tentacle like appendages and it had a set of dark dull red eyes. The guards shouted and raised their weapons but the creature was too swift. In an instant Eric was decapitated as the creature shot past him zigzagging left to right. Helga and Eva screamed and started to run for the entrance of the palace while the crackle of the storm rifles covered them. The creature dashed towards a guard leaping over him and landing on Helga's head crushing it like an eggshell. The creature then grabbed Eva by the scruff of the neck and threw her against the wall with enough force that even Fredrick could hear her bones shatter. Eva lay motionless against the ground with her blood drenching the wall. Fredrick was too stunned to watch as The Mindeater slaughtered the rest of the guards in the garden as the alarms blared and his personal bodyguard shouted at him to be taken to the safe room; all Fredrick could see was the mutilated bodies of his family. After The Mindeater slaughtered all of the guards in the garden it looked up at Fredrick. Staring into his eyes; Fredrick saw the cold emotionless pits gazing into Fredrick's soul. Fredrick's world was shattered his family massacred, he no longer had anything left to live for. Fredrick pulled out his Luger from his holster on his belt and put the barrel of the gun to his temple. Fredrick barely registered his guard shouting and rushing over to pull the gun away from Fredrick's head. But it was too late; Fredrick had already made up his mind. Fredrick squeezed the trigger and his world went black.
Tokyo Japan
Private Amaterasu Nakahara
12:00 local time
Amaterasu straightened her dress uniform as she looked in the mirror; she made sure her shoulder length jet black hair was tied in a bun in accordance to regulations. The time had finally come for her. One year ago on her eighteenth birthday she joined the United States Marine Corps as a foreign volunteer. She remembered when she told her friends that she had joined the USMC and how baffled they were. They told her that she didn't have the look of a marine, that she was too beautiful and feminine to be a marine. Amaterasu scoffed at that as she always considered herself a tomboy despite her appearance. When she had graduated she was initially told that she would be serving as part of the United States Military Japan and deployed to Okinawa to guard against a Chinese or North Korean attack on the pacifist country. But after the invasion of the United States by Russia that had changed. Yesterday she had gotten her new orders in the mail that she would be sent to Camp Pendleton where she would be transferred to a frontline combat unit in Europe. Amaterasu looked to the TV playing in the corner of the room.
"The Israeli Prime Minster said to President Obama of the United States that he will continue to trade weapons and technology to China, North Korea and Russia until the Trade Embargo on his country is lifted. Ever since the United States broke diplomatic ties with Israel in 2009 the small Jewish state has been trading arms for cash to anyone who will take them." The news caster spoke. Strange when Amaterasu was young the United States and Israel were the closest of friends, now both nations seemed to hate each other. Amaterasu turned off the TV and headed down stairs where her mom and dad were waiting for her.
"How do I look?" Amaterasu asked them. Her dad just grunted. He was not a big fan of her joining the U.S. military he thought that she should stay in Japan and become a doctor or something. While her mom was a little more accepting.
"You look great honey. Like a true American soldier." She replied. Amaterasu smiled and hugged her mother.
"Thanks Oka-san." She said. Her mom started to cry.
"Promise me… promise me that you won't die." Her mother said to her.
"I promise you Oka-san I will return." Amaterasu told her mother. A honk could be heard from outside signally that the Americans who had come to pick her up were ready for her. "That is my ride." She said as she started to walk out of the door. Before she left she heard her father speak.
"Stay safe…" He simply stated. Amaterasu turned and smiled to him.
"I will father." She stated as she bowed and walked out the door. Waiting for her by a Hummvee was an American Marine officer wearing one of those old cavalry hats marking him out as being a member of the Marine Corps Air Cavalry divisions. She headed down the stairs from her house and began to walk towards the American. Before she got there she heard a voice.
"Amaterasu-chan!" Katsumi Tanaka yelled as she ran down the street to intercept her. Katsumi practically tackled her and buried her face in Amaterasu's chest.
"Katsumi-chan what are you doing here?" Amaterasu asked the young brown haired girl. Despite being five years older than the middle school student she was a close friend that Amaterasu had known for Katsumi's entire life.
"I heard that you were leaving so I decided to come and see you off." Katsumi said to her. Amaterasu smiled to her.
"Thanks Katsumi-chan." She said to her. "I promise that I won't die over there." She reassured the young Japanese girl. As weird as it was for Amaterasu to admit Katsumi was a foreigner to her now; or perhaps it was the other way around.
"Promise me that you will come back to Japan when the war is over. Even if it is just to visit." Katsumi demanded of her friend.
"Of course Katsumi-chan you aren't going to get rid of me that easy." Amaterasu informed her friend with a laugh. Katsumi looked up at Amaterasu.
"If you meet any hot westerners you will send them my way right?" Katsumi asked.
"You bet. I will make sure to send any cute ones in your direction." Amaterasu chuckled. For some reason Katsumi seemed to believe that all westerners especially Americans were some kind of foreign fanservice; probably because she watched to many anime shows where they were shown as such.
"When I turn eighteen I am going to join the US Marines to. I hear that American women love Marines!" Katsumi said enthusiastically.
"They sure do. When I was back in America I had plenty of women checking me out." Amaterasu informed her. Well that might have been a little bit of a fib. She had a few women checking her out but not as many as Katsumi thought there was. Just then the Marine Officer spoke to them.
"Private Nakahara we are on a tight schedule so you need to wrap this up." He told her. Amaterasu nodded and looked to Katsumi and smiled.
"I have to go now; goodbye Katsumi-chan I will write to you." Amaterasu said as she pulled away and started to walk towards the American vehicle.
"Goodbye Amaterasu-chan I will miss you!" Katsumi shouted as Amaterasu got in the car.
"So was that your little sister?" The American officer said to her.
"No she was just a friend." Amaterasu said to the American. After a few seconds of pause she spoke again. "What is the situation in Europe like?" she asked the officer.
"Bad the Reds hit every major city and military base on the continent. The death toll is already in the millions; and that will grow with each passing day." He told her. Amaterasu nodded and spoke again.
"What are my orders sir?" She asked the Marine officer.
"You're a demolition expert and grenadier last I checked we are going to need you at the front; but first we are sending you to Camp Pendleton where we will find you a unit to be attached to and we will then send you to the frontlines in Europe. Something tells me we are going to need everyone we can get in this war." The officer informed her. Amaterasu nodded; it was going to be a very long war.
Hamburg Germany
Flying Officer Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen
13:00 local time
"This is Helix 3-1 we are hit!" A UH-1Y Venom pilot said as his helicopter spun out of control and smashed in the water. Tracer bullets filled the skies as Russian anti-aircraft gunners tried to shoot down the incoming American helicopters. American AH-1Z Vipers shot Hellfire and Hydras at the entrenched enemy positions blowing them away. Below her Eila saw four LCACs each one was loaded with two of the massive American M1A2 tanks storming ashore. A flight of four MV-22s thundered below her. Eila saw one of the helicopters have a wing shot off and it cart wheeled across the water. Eila looked to Sanya and spoke.
"This makes DC look like a cake walk doesn't it?" She asked her lover who looked back at her and cocked her XM25.
"Yes this seems to be quite bad." She simply stated. Eila nodded and spoke.
"Are you ready for this?" she simply asked. Sanya nodded her head. Eila smiled and gave one last pre-battle kiss to her lover who smiled. "I will save the rest for when we get back to the San Antonio." Eila teased. Sanya blushed as she noticed both Sandman and Frost tried to avert their gaze. Isabella then spoke over the radio to everyone.
"This is Isabella in JSTARS callsign Helios come in over." Isabella Marquez spoke over the radio.
"Copy that Helios we read you Five by Five over." Sandman told Isabella who waited for a few seconds before replying.
"I will be providing assistance as needed on this operation let me know when you have confirmation of the packages whereabouts over." Isabella said to Sandman.
"Roger that; what is the situation on the beach like over?" Sandman asked Isabella.
"We have Russian armor waiting for you on the beach with gunships flying top cover. I will reroute a flight of Harriers to provide cover over." Isabella replied.
"Roger that thanks for the heads up Helios." Sandman said to Isabella before turning to face Eila and the rest of the group. "We lost contact with the convoy a few hours ago we are going to head there on foot to see if we can find Goalpost and extract him." Sandman told the group, as the helicopter started to land. Eila hopped off the helicopter and cocked her UMP45 and readied it as she sprinted to the first bit of cover she saw. Other American helicopters disgorged hundreds of American troops and LCACs deployed their tanks onto the beach. Up ahead a Russian tank fired at the American tanks missing its first shot. One of the Abrams turned its turret at the enemy T-90 tank. The Abrams fired its powerful 120mm main gun sending an APFSDS round straight through the turret of the T-90 causing a jet of molten metal to shoot through and kill the crew and set off the ammo in the tank blowing it to pieces. Eila took aim at some of the Russians on the wall up ahead and fired a three round burst into the first one in her sights. Her bullets struck home and tossed him to the ground. An air bursting grenade fired by Sanya detonate above a Russian machine gun nest killing all three of the Russians. Eila saw Rouge Actual get off of one of the Venoms and head towards their position. Frost and Sandman fired their HK416s at the Russians to keep them suppressed.
"Move up to the wall!" Frost yelled as they advanced on the wall so the Russians couldn't fire at them. Eila raised her shield as a stream of bullets from a Russian GPMG fired directly at her. The 12.7mm bullets impacted the shield bouncing off harmlessly against the magical shield. The American tanks fired their main guns at the Russians up ahead tearing them to shreds. The tank commanders fired their miniguns at the Russians sending hundreds of rounds in their general direction. A Russian attack helicopter flew overhead and fired a stream of rockets into one of the Abrams blowing a tread loose and ripping a hole in the barrel of the tank's gun and killing the commander. The Americans got their revenge though as an F/A-18E flew overhead and fired a missile at the helicopter knocking it out of the sky.
"Use the tanks for cover and move up!" Sandman shouted to them. Eila watched as the tanks thundered forwards after the now fleeing Russians. Eila crested the hill and saw to her right a downed transport plane burning where the Russians were taking cover. Eila pulled a grenade off her vest and tossed it in their direction blowing two apart. She then looked down her EOTech holographic sight and fired a five round burst into a Russian with an SMG. The bullets impacted his torso and tore through his arm spraying the fuselage of the plane behind him in blood. Eila then switched targets to a Russian in a gasmask firing his AK-12 in her direction. The bullets impacted Eila's shield as she lined him up in her sights and fired a two round burst into his head blowing the back of his skull off. Two marines fired grenades from their M203s into the Russians killing all that remained.
"Eila move your ass!" Carmen said to her as the group moved forward. Eila ran up to get closer to the group as a T-90 smashed through the wall to their left and fire a shot that impacted the side of the turret of one of the tanks bouncing off. The American tank turned its turret at the T-90 and fired another Sabot round into it blowing it to pieces. Another Russian T-90 rolled down the street firing a canister shell into some exposed American Marines turning them into a red sludge as the thousands of tungsten balls shredded their bodies. Eila fired at the commander of the tank manning his machine gun killing him. The Abrams fired a shell into the enemy tank killing the commander. Eila moved forward spotting a cluster of Russians taking cover by a destroyed car. Eila fired her UMP full auto in the group killing all of them. Eila reloaded and moved up. Ricther fired his M27 IAR into two Russians trying to cross the street; the bullets shredding their bodies. Dozens of more Russians waited for them in cover and on the rooftop of a convention center in front of them. One of the tanks fired a HEAT round into a Russian machine gun nest vaporizing the emplacement. The other Abrams fired a HEAT round into the roof of the convention center causing it to collapse sending Russians to fall to their deaths. Frost and Sandman fired their grenades into the Russians from their M320s mounted under their rifles blowing the Russian soldiers to pieces. Eila spotted some Russians hiding behind a chest high wall and fired two three round bursts in their direction killing both enemy soldiers. Two AV-8Bs flew overhead and fired rockets and 30mm cannon shells into the Russians below them shredding them. The Harriers then turned away and fired their Air to Air missiles at some Russian helicopters in the distance.
"There sure are a lot of these assholes!" Falken shouted as he fired his RSASS into the head of a Russian RPG gunner.
"No shit; just keep shooting!" Tyron shouted over the radio as he fired a long burst into some fleeing Russians with his M4 carbine. The tanks made it to the end of the street and turned left firing their main guns into some unseen targets while the commanders using their miniguns hosed the walls to the right where some Russians were hiding with their miniguns.
"Move up people!" Sandman shouted as he slid over the hood of a destroyed car firing his HK416 into a Russian soldier with a PKM. Frost followed behind Sandman firing three round bursts from his rifle into the Russians. Sanya fired another grenade over the wall where some Russians where hiding showering them with shrapnel. Eila moved forward and fired her UMP at a Russian with a satchel charge rushing the tanks. Eila flanked to the right of the tanks spotting some Russians reloading their weapons. They noticed her and raised their rifles just as Eila hosed them down with a full magazine of 45 cal rounds. The bullets tore into them blowing the arm off of one of the Russians and practically cutting another in half while the third took a round through his left eye. The marines and the other Task Force members moved up and scanned the surroundings. "Clear!" Sandman shouted as the area went quite. The Abrams had halted in the middle of the road and Sandman started to walk towards the lead tank.
Hamburg Germany
Staff Sergeant Derek Westbrook "Frost"
13:12 local time
"Why have we stopped?" Sandman asked the lead tank commander.
"The fastest way to the convoy is through that parking garage sir. But that is very risky we could get ambushed. Or we could head around the parking garage which will take more time but might be safer. Which one should we do sir?" The tank commander asked Sandman who was about to reply when a sniper round blew the tank commander's head off.
"Shit sniper!" Tyron shouted as Frost raised his weapon and fired into the parking garage top floor where the sniper was expected to be. Tyron fired his M203 which slammed into the building killing the sniper.
"Fuck yeah nice shot Tyron!" Ricther shouted. Just then a T-90 rolled around the corner and shot the building five meters away from Tyron. The explosion tossed the grenadier to the side. Ricther ran to his side and the Abrams tank fired at the Russian MBT blowing it to pieces.
"Frost get on the minigun!" Sandman shouted. Frost climbed up the side of the tank as Russian soldiers started to fire at them. Frost took aim and fired a stream of bullets into some Russians turning them into pink mist.
"Falken check Tyron see if he is still alive!" Sergeant Rooker shouted to the marine sniper who rushed over to see if Tyron was alive. Robert Falken checked Tyron's pulse.
"He is still alive sir but he is hurt bad." Falken said to Rooker who nodded.
"Right stay behind with him and make sure he gets medical attention!" Rooker ordered the sniper.
"Ok people we are moving through the parking garage. Faster we get to the convoy faster we can rescue Goalpost." Sandman said as the M1A2 that Frost was in fired another shell into the Russians. Frost fired at some Russians in cover behind a brick wall. Contrary to popular believe a brick wall will not stop a 7.62mm NATO round; let alone three hundred such rounds. The Russians got shredded by the bullets as they passed through the wall and killed them. Carmen was at the side of Frost's tank firing her M16A3 into the Russians as they started to retreat.
"Fuck yeah those pussies are running scared!" She shouted as she fired another long burst into the retreating Russians. The M1A2 started moving forward firing its coax M240 into the retreating Russians cutting them down. Then the tank fired its main gun sending a canister shell into the enemy soldiers blowing them into oblivion. The tank driver spoke to Frost over the intercom.
"Hey D-boy stay sharp we are heading inside the garage and they Russians know we are coming." The driver told him.
"Right just worry about driving this thing I will handle the shooting." Frost replied. The tank moved forward. Frost saw a few Russians trying to set up an RPG by a car. Frost hosed them down with the minigun. The tanks moved into the garage and Frost scanned from side to side not spotting anyone. The tank then turned to the left and began to advance. Frost heard some voices in Russian and scanned with his minigun. When the tank entered the second section of the garage bullets pattered against the hull of the tank and whizzed by his head. Frost turned the minigun to the left and fired a long burst into the Russians hiding behind a parked car. The bullets punched through both sides of the car killing the Russians who were hiding behind it.
"Hang on we are smashing right through!" The driver said as they went full speed into the glass security office. Frost ducked down inside the tank to avoid getting cut up by the glass. The tank smashed through both sides and Frost got up and grabbed the minigun. A UAZ drove through the parking lot at them with a Russian manning a HMG. The UAZ was hit dead on with a HEAT round blowing it to pieces. Frost fired at more of the Russians who were lying in ambush for the Americans cutting them to shreds. The tank advances and Frost gunned down any Russians he saw. The tank moved left and stopped just short of the next section of the parking garage. The other tank parked on the right side of the entrance to the next section of the parking garage.
"After you 2-1." The tank driver said to the other M1A2 tank.
"Roger that advancing now." The other tank said as it moved forward. Frost didn't see any Russians ahead but remained vigilant. The lead tank turned left and started to go up the ramp of the parking garage to the next floor. The tank Frost was in headed up the ramp after it. They started to get to the top of the ramp when Frost heard the rumble of cracking concrete.
"Oh shit!" Frost said as the ramp gave way and the tank fell through the floor to the floor below. Then it fell through that floor and then the floor below it. Frost then looked up to see a car about to fall on top of the tank. Frost quickly dropped down as the sedan smashed into the roof of the Abrams. The sedan then fell off the tank exposing the hatch.
"Fuck, Frost are you alright!" Sandman shouted to Frost as he climbed down the rubble to where the stricken tank was resting.
"Yeah I am fine." Frost said as he grabbed his rifle and climbed out of the tank and onto the top of its turret. Frost then looked down to the crew. "Come on gentlemen you're ground pounders like us now." Frost said to the tankers who groaned. "You got weapons?" Frost asked them.
"Yeah we have M16s." The gunner said to Frost. Carmen then jumped onto the roof of the tank and looked down the hatch.
"Nice driving gentlemen. Where did you learn to drive Beijing?" She stated sarcastically. Then the driver spoke over the radio,
"Hey I would like to see you drive a 67 ton tank lady." The driver retorted to Carmen.
"If I did I wouldn't try and drive up a concrete ramp. I could have told you it wouldn't have supported the weight of two tanks driving on it." Carmen replied to the driver who murmured his disapproval.
"Carmen stop harassing the tankers." Rooker said to her. Carmen rolled her eyes and looked to Frost as the tankers climbed out of the tank.
"Hey Frost you did well on the minigun; have you used one before?" She asked him. Frost nodded.
"Yeah for some reason I am the one who always has to man these things for the squad; I am really not sure why because every time I do I nearly manage to get myself killed." Frost replied to Carmen who smiled.
"Well you have survived this one maybe you have some serious luck on your side." Carmen told him. Frost saw Sandman talking to the tankers telling them what basic infantry commands were.
"Thanks I think." Frost said to her. Carmen then looked to Eila and Sanya.
"So those two; Eila and Sanya; they can really use magic?" Carmen asked. Frost looked to both Eila and Sanya who both had their familiars out.
"Yeah they can." Frost simply replied. Carmen lifted an eyebrow.
"How can they do that? I thought magic didn't exist." Carmen asked Frost who shrugged.
"I have no idea honestly it is above my pay grade. As far as I know and from what they told me they were just born this way." Frost told her.
"Shit, well if they were born this way what is to say that there aren't more of them? How do we know we aren't going to run into a squad of Russian super soldiers?" Carmen asked Frost who shook his head.
"Trust me I can guarantee you that we won't run into any Russian super soldiers." Frost informed her. Carmen nodded.
"Frost, Carmen come on we are moving out." Sandman says to them. Carmen shrugs and gets off the tank. Frost jumps down and cocks his weapon as they prepare to move out.
Hamburg Germany
Private First Class Carmen Ramirez
13:29 local time
They moved back onto the street and were instantly greeted by gunfire. A Russian gunship flew overhead firing its cannon chasing a fleeing MV-22 helicopter. Carmen aimed down her ACOG sight and spotted a Russian platoon moving up with a T-90 in support.
"Shit they have a T-90 sir!" Sergeant Rooker shouted to the Delta Force commander. Then Sanya the Russian girl working for the Special Forces unit spoke.
"Sandman our shields won't stand up to tank fire we will need to take it out." She told the Delta Force leader.
"I know! Rhino 2-1 where are you over!?" Sandman shouted over the radio to no response. Carmen took cover behind a chest high wall and fired a burst from her M16A3 at the Russians. Ten 5.56mm rounds went down range and struck two Russians causing them to collapse to the ground. The T-90 fired its canon but the shell went wide and missed the target smacking into the side of a building blowing a chunk out of the wall. Carmen cursed and fired another long full auto burst into the Russians cutting one down as he tried to get to cover. "Rhino 2-1 where the fuck are you we are going to get creamed out here!?" Sandman shouted again. After a few seconds of silence the wall next to the T-90 erupted as an Abrams tank smashed through and fired its canon into the side of the T-90 causing it to explode into shrapnel that scythed down a squad of Russians.
"Sorry for the delay Metal 0-1 we got lost." The tank commander said as he fired his minigun into the Russians.
"It's fine Rhino 2-1 as long as you are here. Ok people move up through the building to the right." Sandman said as he went into an office building to the right.
"Ricther cover us while we move into the building!" Shouted Sergeant Rooker.
"Roger that sergeant." Ricther said as he fired his M27 into the Russians. Carmen fired the remainder of her magazine in the general direction of the Russians as she advanced into the office building. She reloaded her M16 as more Russians in the office building fired their weapons at her. Carmen slide behind a desk and popped her head up and aimed at one of the Russians with an MP5 firing at them. Carmen fired five rounds into his chest and head spraying the wall behind him in blood. She then switched targets to a Russian with an S-12 shotgun firing at them. Carmen fired three rounds into his skull blowing his head clean off. Sanya fired her XM25 down the office setting it to explode when it reached the doorway where two Russians where taking cover blowing them to ribbons. Carmen moved up sweeping from side to side scanning for threats. A Russian who was playing dead got up and slammed into her trying to take her weapon away from her. She head butted the Russians and sweep kicked his legs out from under him and then shot him two times in the chest and one time in the head. The unit then moved forward to the end of the office and started to jump out the window back onto the street. More Russians where waiting for them. Carmen fired her M16 into another Russians sending him to the floor. Another two Russians hid behind an overturned car firing their weapons at them. Frost fired a 40mm grenade at them from his M320 blowing them to pieces. Carmen fired her rifle into a Russian trying to toss a grenade. The bullets smacked into him sending him and the armed grenade to the ground. The grenade detonated and blew apart his comrades. Then it got quite; Carmen looked side to side and saw that all of the Russians where dead.
"Alright people the convoy is just ahead stay on your toes." Sandman said as they moved forward. They round the corner to the right to see three bullet riddled black SUVs were idling and the horn of one was blaring. Carmen and the others approached the vehicles looking for the body of the Vice President. The SUVs were covered in blood and several of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect the president were lying dead on the street or slumped over in the cars. "Shit he is not here." Sandman said as he pulled one of the agents off the steering wheel of the car causing the horn to cease making noise. "Helios be advised we do not have eyes on Goalpost. I repeat Goalpost is not with the convoy." Sandman said to the JSTARS.
"Copy that Metal 0-1 search the area for any sign of Goalpost. Raptor 4 will be there to evac you in ten minutes regardless over." A young sounding women spoke over the radio.
"Understood." Sandman said to the JSTARS operator. "Ok people we are going to search for Goalpost in the building to the left come on." Sandman said as he headed inside a building to the left of the convoy. When Carmen entered the building she could see that some flares were left burning in the building and Carmen could hear some voices in Russian. She followed Sandman and Frost up the stairs and then heard a door slam and some gunshots ring out. They got to the top of the stairs and saw a door where the gunshots had come from. "Shit ok people stack up." Sandman ordered as he got on the left side of the door. Frost got on the right side of the door and Carmen got behind the young commando. Eila got behind Sandman and patted his shoulder. Carmen looked back to see Sanya, Sergeant Rooker and Lance Corporal Richter waiting at the top of the stairs for the door to be opened. Carmen heard speaking in Russian and Sandman slapped a breaching charge on the door. The charge detonated and Frost popped into the room sweeping left; followed by Sandman sweeping right. Carmen took center and saw in the middle of the room was the Vice President with a Russian aiming a gun for his head. Carmen shot a single round through that Russians head as Frost and Sandman killed the other two Russians in the room. Sandman went over the Vice President and lifted his blindfold. "Helios we have Goalpost. I repeat PID on Goalpost." He told the JSTARS operator.
"Roger that Metal 0-1 we are sending Raptor 4 to your location now over." The JSTARS operator said to them. The others filed into the room and Sandman carried Goalpost to the balcony where a MV-22 flew overhead and dropped its ramps so Sandman could toss Goalpost in and then jump in he turned to the others and gestured for them to jump in. they all piled into the helicopter and breathed a sigh of relieve as the helicopter started to fly back to the USS San Antonio.
"Hey Grinch we have Goalpost secured now we are on our way back to the San Antonio now." Sandman said to Grinch.
"Nice I guess the first rounds are on us then." Grinch said jokingly to Sandman. Frost patted Carmen on the shoulder.
"Hey good work out there Carmen you can watch my six anytime." He said as he stuck out his hand. Carmen grabbed hold of it and shook it.
"Thanks D-boy; I imagine that we will work together again sometime in the future." Carmen told him. After all it is going to be a long war. A very long war. Carmen thought to herself.

Vladimir Makarov

"Blessed be the divine power of the one true god of the universe The Architect" Makarov said as he plunged the knife into his human sacrifice a small girl of maybe six years of age he had kidnapped from her home in Moscow. She was bound and gagged so she couldn't escape she just let out a muffled cry of agony as the blade pierced her skin below her heart.
"Grant us your powers our lord and master." His fellow cultists chanted. They were all dressed in black robes like Makarov and their faces were painted in the blood of their previous sacrifice. Makarov began to move his blade under the girl's ribcage and cut a hole large enough for his hand to stick through. He then withdrew the knife and plunged his hand into the hole in the girl's body and grabbed hold of her heart tearing it out. He held the still beating heart in his hands and showed it to his cultists. He then walked over to the alter where he placed it upon a chalice as an offering to The Architect. Makarov smiled. With the Miasma attacks in Europe and World War Three in full swing the Ritual was almost complete. All he needed was one final piece of the ritual to complete it; and soon the Neuroi would come to this world… and Makarov the prophet and chosen champion of the one true god would be granted his reward. Makarov smiled and thought to himself. Soon Eila we will meet in person and then you and your lover will help me achieve my ascension.
Wow that was a scary scene just now wasn't it. Makarov is in full cultist mode and he wants to do something to Eila and Sanya gasp. anyways oh so Rouge Actual other than Carmen they are all my OCs so I am the original owners of them. anyways so yeah just as an FYI a lot of these upcoming chapters are going to be rather straight forward adaptations of the MW3 missions but don't worry after the mission Scorched Earth it is back to original content so don't worry about it. also on that note when it comes to dialogue for the chapter I wont make it totally 100 like what it was in the game but it shall be close. actually to be honest these adaptation chapters are actually harder to write then ones that are completely original. anyways so please do read and review as that convinces me to write faster and I will let you all know when I post my q and a video on youtube XD
