The chopper set down beside the temple that had been surrounded by a ring of Saudi Arabian police and military vehicles during midday. Reporters were off to the side being held back by security personnel and choppers were hovering above with guns pointed at parts of the mosque. A grim and tense atmosphere was obviously present as Rainbow touched the ground.

"Are you team that Director Six told me about?!" A man shouted as he ran up to them, "My name is Omar Kadi. I'm the one in charge of operations around here."

"My name is Thermite. I am team leader for this squad right now." Thermite said before gesturing towards the rest of the squad, "Doc, our combat medic. Fuze, our secondary breaching expert. Thatcher, our combat technician. And Tiger, our close quarters combat expert."

"Follow me and I'll explain what's going on." Omar said as he waved for them to follow him as he made his way through the base, "We have the terrorists completely surrounded right now. They have the prince and are asking for a ransom of three billion dollars transferred to an offshore account."

"Do you know how many people we're dealing with?" Thermite asked.

"At least three dozen hostiles Thermite." Omar said, "We had identified them using the security feed right before they had taken over it and killed eyewitnesses when they had been kicked out."

"Is there any more hostages other than the prince?"

"They had broken in the middle of the night and killed some of the guards before taking over the mosque." Omar said while speaking some Arabian to some guards to allow them to pass, "Three made it out and called the locals. Only one survived the trip to the hospital."

"So forty against five eh?" Fuze said while fingering the contraption by his side, "I can take out half of them if they group together."

"But we risk killing the prince if we throw in those cluster grenades." Thermite hummed while rubbing his chin, "I'd say we breach into the palace whenever Omar's men attack from the front."

"We already tried." Omar said with a grim look as he looked to his right and the group's gaze followed to see a row of bodies covered in blankets, "They didn't even make it past the first room before they were attacked. Several died instantly and a full retreat was ordered in seconds."

Rainbow grimaced as they saw the bodies and Doc said, "Our condolences."

"Thank you." Omar nodded before sighing with his arms crossed, "So what is your plan?"

"Give us the layout of the palace." Thermite said while looking up at the mosque, "We're gonna make sure that these White Mask rejects regret ever coming to Saudi Arabia."

Valkyrie yawned as she rubbed her eyes and continued to work on her cameras.

It had been a couple of hours since Tiger and the rest of the team had left for Saudi Arabia to rescue the prince but it felt more like a week since he had gone.

She was currently in one of the advanced labs that Six had given Team Rainbow access to in order to upgrade their equipment. But not even the thought of advancing further in her cameras made the Navy SEAL excited.

A loud thud made the Operator jump as he turned and saw Ash setting down a plate of food for her.

"You okay?" Ash asked as she took a seat beside her and looked at the disassembled camera, "You haven't left the lab since this morning."

"Yeah I'm fine." Valkyrie yawned as she stretched out her arms and back, "Thanks for bringing me lunch."

"Its dinner actually." Ash said while showing her the time, "It's seven o clock. You've been in here for about 10 to 11 hours."

"Really?" She asked as she looked closer at the watch and read the time, "I guess I have been."

"Is it because of Bà?" Ash asked as she handed the SEAL utensils and watched as she ate the simple meal of steak, mash potatoes, and greens, "Meghan. You can't just lock yourself up like this whenever he is gone."

"I'm not, I'm not." Valkyrie said as she bit into the juicy steak, "I just wanted to finish up this so I can work out and-"

"When was the last time you had a boyfriend Meghan?"

"Umm, I think it was back in the early to mid 2000's." Valkyrie said after a while of thinking, "It was a bit after I had joined the SEAL team. We broke up because he thought I was cheating with Craig and we got into a whole big fight that ended up with him going to the hospital in a stretcher."

"I see." Ash said with a sweatdrop before taking a seat beside her, "But I'm surprised that you and Craig hadn't gone out sooner."

"Not all of us date our teammates you know?" Valkyrie smirked as Ash blushed lightly, "But we've just been good friends and I think he has a girlfriend back home."

"Oh okay then." Ash said as she got up and stretched, "Why don't you finish eating up and I'll take your plate? I'll be back after I close up the equipment and lock up."

"Alrighty then." Valkyrie said while accepting the hug that Ash gave her from behind and she continued to reassemble her camera.

Valkyrie heard the door close behind her as she wiped the lense of the Black Eye so clean that she could see her reflection.

She tilted her head a bit and watched her reflection do the same. She fiddled with her hair as her mind wandered off to Tiger before she shook her head in embarrassment and slapped the side of her cheeks to snap out if it.

"He's going to be okay." Valkyrie told herself as she let out a deep sigh and finished the rest of her meal, "He has the team to count on so he should be fine. Besides, what's the worst that can happen?"

-x-

"Did you guys find the prince yet?" Thermite asked as his drone drove around the mosque.

"Nothing on my end." Fuze said as he switch off his controller in irritation, "Nothing but fucking soldiers everywhere that I turn. They killed my feed so I'm done."

"Same here." Thatcher said as he pocketed his, "How the hell are we going to find the prince and get him out alive like this?"

"Well considering the odds we can't." Doc said as he put his remote up as well, "As I drove around, I noticed multiple traps and charges covering the entry points along with the windows."

"I don't suppose you have one of your girlfriend's breaching charges so you?" Thatcher asked with his arms crossed, "Because I know for damn sure that yours won't work on cement walls this thick."

"Nope." Thermite shook his head as he noticed Tiger still looking through the drone, "What about you Tiger? You find the hostage yet?"

"No but I may know where he is." Tiger said as he put up his drone and pointed at the map that Omar had given them, "See, we've all searched the area surrounding the center of the mosque but we haven't gotten into the center yet since it's blocked off completely."

"So theoretically that's where the prince should be." Thermite grinned while patting him on his shoulder, "Nice work Tiger. But how the hell are we going to get into the center if it's blocked off?"

"Your charges should be able to get past it since it's an iron molded door not completely stone. This is a mosque built a few hundred years ago so they had the technology to do doors like that." Tiger said as he pointed to one of the entrances, "We can have Doc, Thatcher, and Fuze enter from here and make their way towards the mosque. Thatcher can toss in a couple of emp grenades to disable the traps and Fuze can instantly clear out the room with his grenades. Doc will be there with them if they get to the Prince first to check his condition before getting him out."

"Wait then where are you and me going then?" Thermite asked as he looked at the other entrances, "I'm guessing me and you are going to hit one of the other sides?"

"Not exactly." Tiger said as he pointed to the top of the mosque, "See that tip right there? There's bound to be a hole that we can use to open up and zip line right down there and meet up with the rest of the team."

"If there isn't?"

"Then we're gonna see how many nitrochargers it takes to blow through solid stone wall." Tiger grinned as he equipped his trademark claws.

-x-

A soldier wearing a bulletproof vest and black ski mask walked around with his two buddies, making their usual security detail as one of them noticed a blinking orb roll from underneath the cracks of the reinforced door.

"What the-"

The grenade sent out an electrical ring of light and all of their traps and comms went out. At the same time, the door exploded with bullet holes and gunfire, easily killing off the soldiers as Thatcher broke through the door with his foot and entered the room with Fuze and Doc right behind them.

"Do they know that we're here?" Fuze asked as he looked up and down the hallways.

Shouts came from both sides of the hallway as Fuze groaned, "Me and my big mouth."

"You said it." Doc said as he readied his pistol.

"Remind me to duct tape that big yapper of yours next time." Thatcher growled as he lined his sights at the end of the hallway.

"Let's hope Thermite and Tiger have a better time than us." Doc said as he let loose the first round.

-x-

"Duck!"

Thermite and Tiger ducked as an RPG sailed right past them and hit the ground in a fiery explosion with bullets raining down onto them.

"Well this is perfect!" Thermite shouted as he blind fired back while holding onto his line from behind the ledge that he and Tiger had taken cover behind, a scream followed by a body sailing past them and landing with a resounding crack, "At least we know that there's an entrance up there!"

"Captain Omar! Get your snipers to take out those gunners!" Tiger shouted into his comm but heard nothing but static, "Captain!"

"Comms are jammed!" Thermite said as he took a small peek out from his cover before quickly pulling back to avoid the line of death eating away at their cover, "Any idea as to how we fight back?!"

"Cover me!"

"Wait what?!" Thermite asked as he watched Tiger pull out a familiar canister, "Wait, isn't that my buddy Smoke's grenades?! How the hell-"

"Just throw it!"

"So you're gonna run through poisonous gas and towards a whole bunch of people trying to kill you?!" Thermite said as he accepted the gas canister and got ready, "You're crazy you know that?!"

"Been there done that!" Tiger grinned as he planted himself firmly on the wall and aimed his KRISS Vectors before unloading half the clip, dropping 3 guys instantly.

"If you die, Valkyrie's gonna kill me for letting you die!" Thermite exclaimed as he chucked the canister into the air and popped off a few rounds from his rifle, buckling the can mid air before it exploded in Smoke's signature orange cloud.

The cloud expanded and the soldiers stopped firing as they looked at each other in confusion before putting on gas masks as quickly as they could as the gas approached them.

One of the men peeked over the ledge for a target before a silver steel claw reached up and yanked him off the building tumbling to his death.

"What the-"

Tiger launched himself up and unloaded his clips into the surprised Black Visor members, bodies dropping with every few bullets finding their mark in flesh and the sound of empty shell casings hitting the ground was evident other than the sounds of his KRISS Vectors firing.

The skirmish ended in less than ten seconds as the last guy dropped and Tiger shouted, "Clear!"

Thermite's cable found its mark on a rusty pipe and the breaching expert crawled his way up and over the ledge before landing with a solid thud.

He looked around at all the dead bodies and whistled in appreciation, "Nice work Tiger. Now, let's get on top of that mosque."

Tiger nodded as he saw something out of the corner of his eye before quickly kicking Thermite back as bullet holes hit the ground where he once was.

"Woah!" Thermite exclaimed as he looked up at the dome to see a few gunners firing at them, "Thanks Tiger!"

"You can thank me later!" He smirked as he popped a few covering rounds at the top, "I'll draw their fire! Take them out!"

Thermite nodded as Tiger took a single deep breath and dashed from his cover before unleashing a hail of bullets to catch the gunner's attention.

One of the gunners stuck his head out for too long and his upper body hanged uselessly on the ledge as his comrades stayed down.

Like clockwork, they came back up again and fired at Tiger as Thermite managed to get up close to them before taking them all out.

"Go, go, go!" Thermite shouted as he shot his grappling cable to the top and watched as it burrowed into the stone before scaling the roof.

Tiger nodded as he leaped onto the roof and dug his claws into the stone before meeting up with Thermite.

Gunshots from above made them duck down as they looked up to see several soldiers walking down with guns drawn and a line stopping them from falling.

"Shit!" Thermite exclaimed as he rapidly descended towards the ground, "Come on Tiger! We gotta find cover and-"

A stray bullet cut his line and he fell backward towards the roof of the building underneath. Luckily, it wasn't too high up but it still left the SWAT member out of breath and staggering as he tried to regain his bearings.

"Kill them all!" The soldier shouted as he rappelled downwards with the rest of the soldiers following him.

Tigers eyes narrowed as he pulled out his KRISS Vector and shot down a few of them as they rained hell down onto him.

He managed to avoid most of the bullets but he could feel the aching pain of one maybe two in his shoulder and torso.

"Die!" One soldier shouted as he shot forwards towards Tiger with a Bowie knife in his hand instead of actually shooting him.

Tiger grunted as he did a complete turn with his body on the roof and locked the soldier's arm and head in a leg hold. He waved the knife wildly before Tiger gave a sudden and strong twist with his body and cracked the man's neck, killing him instantly.

Using the dead man as both a shield and an anchor, Tiger jerked his body to side with both of his SMG's out and started to fire back at the soldiers.

He easily took them out one by one as their bullets whizzed by him and narrowly missed the slightly dazed underneath him. Their bodies hanged from the lines with their comrades joining them in the afterlife shortly after.

Tiger groaned as he holstered his weapons before dropping down, using his right claw as a sort of brake since his left shoulder was injured.

"Thermite! You okay?!" Tiger asked as he shook the breaching expert by the shoulder, "Thermite!"

"I'm fine! Just," He said as he placed a hand on his heart, "Gimme a minute."

"I'm afraid that you'll only have a second." Tiger said as an explosion from underneath them rocked right then and there, "Sounds like the others have made their way to the center."

"God dammit." Thermite sighed as he noticed the blood red stain on Tiger's shoulder, "Hey you're hu-"

"It's just a flesh wound." Tiger said as he clapped Thermite on the shoulder before shooting his line to the top, "Now come on! We can't let them beat us!"

Thermite shook his head to clear the thumping sound before shooting his spare and joined Tiger on scaling the roof.

-x-

"Fire in the hole!"

A loud boom and several screams from behind the wall signaled Fuze's handiwork as the 3 man continued to the center of the mosque with the only thing standing in front of them was an iron door.

"Break it down!" Thatcher shouted as he double tapped someone who had tried to peek the corner.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Fuze shouted as he ran headfirst and rammed the door with his shield before smashing into it again and again, "It won't budge!"

Doc walked up to the door and flipped open the locking handle before pushing the door open.

Fuze face palmed as Thatcher laughed from behind him and they entered the room with their respective weapons drawn before holding as a dozen barrels were pointed at them.

"Bloody hell." Thatcher muttered as he grasped the situation, "How the hell are we going to get out of this mess lads?"

"Drop your weapons!" The leader shouted while having his own sights trained onto the trio of Operators, "We have you surrounded!"

"I'd say we can take them." Fuze said as his grip on his shield tightened, "Maybe."

"Drop them now!"

Suppressed and loud gunfire bounced off the walls as several of the enemy dropped at once with blood flying into the air and their attention switched to the roof.

Thatcher, Fuze, and Doc all got the signal and started to unload bullets into the remaining Black Visors and they had cleared out the room in less than ten seconds.

"Clear!" Thatcher shouted as he did a quick once over of the room before watching Tiger and Thermite rappel down, "Nice entrance you two. Could've been a lot quicker though."

"Nice gratitude for someone that just saved your life." Thermite grinned as he touched the ground with Tiger, "If we hadn't came in time, that would've been you guys on the floor instead of them."

"Found the prince!" Fuze said as he hefted up a man dressed in royal robes and bound by rope with his mouth taped shut, "He looks terrified but other than that he's fine!"

"Oh give me him." Doc said as he looked over the prince for no visible wounds, "He looks fine but we gotta get him out of-"

A loud thud from beside them caused the Operators to quickly turn and raise their guns in attention to see Tiger drop to his knees.

"Oi Tiger!" Thatcher shouted as he and Doc quickly went to him and they found a bloodied hole at his side that was soaked in blood, "Jeez mate. When did you get shot?!"

"When we scaled the roof." He groaned in pain as he tried to get to his feet but failed, "But there was a couple of sentries posted by the entrance and we had to clear them."

"Bloody hell Doc give him the shot already!" Thatcher shouted as he helped Tiger up, "We gotta get the hell out of here!"

Doc took out the blue syringe from his pack and loaded it into the gun before shooting it into Tiger's body, causing the latter to sigh in relief as Doc got his other side and they walked back the way that they came with Thermite taking point.

Fuze suddenly raised his fist, making the Operators suddenly stop before yelling, "Take-"

The wall right in front of them blew open and gunfire echoed throughout the hall as both sides started firing at each other.

"Sorry Tiger!" Doc shouted as he dropped him and took some cover and returned fire, "Take them out!"

Fuze tossed the prince haphazardly to the side and returned fire as Thermite and Thatcher covered him.

The gunfire eventually stopped and the Operators checked their surroundings before checking up on Tiger and the prince.

"Could've put me down a bit softer." He groaned as he blinked several times, "God I felt like a sack of potatoes."

"That you are mate!" Thatcher laughed as he hauled him up, "Now let's get your arse to a proper doctor."

"I'm right here you know." Doc said while shaking his head and took Dai's other side, "But he is right. We need to go."

"Oh quit whining you big baby." Fuze said as he hauled the terrified prince onto his shoulder, "Sooner I'm finished with you the sooner I can get myself a drink after this shit."

The group managed to escape the palace without encountering anymore hostiles and walked through the open doorway to see a full breaching squad right in front of them, sights trained on the doorway.

"We have the prince!" Thermite shouted, "The hostage is secure!"

"Breach! Breach! Breach!"

The squad in front of them ran around them with shields in front as they saw other squads around them storming the palace with weapons drawn.

They made their way back towards the command center and Omar greeted excitedly and relieved.

"Team Rainbow!" He shouted before spotting the tied up prince, "You have him!"

"He's your problem now." Fuze grunted as he handed the man over and cracked his neck, "Imma get me a drink."

"I need a room for an injured man!" Doc shouted as he and Thatcher hefted Tiger into an operating room and closed the blinds.

15 hours later

"Tiger!" Valkyrie shouted as she ran to him as he and the rest of the squad walked out of the helicopter, "What happened?!"

"Well a bullet here and a bullet there." He smiled while accepting an almost bone-breaking hug before she punched him in the shoulder, "And another bruise apparently oww Tenshi!"

"I thought you said you would be fine!" She chided while looking him up and down before turning to Doc, "So his condition?"

"He'll be fine after a few weeks." Doc nodded before patting Tiger on his shoulder, "He did well today. You should be grateful that he came back like this because it would've been much worse."

"So how did he end up with a shoulder cast and several stitches on his side?" Valkyrie asked as she lifted up his shirt and saw the marks.

"This idiot thought that it was a good idea to run up a wall and fight a whole squad by himself." Thermite said as he wrapped his arm around Tiger, "He also managed scale an entire wall in an instant and take out the guys up top all by himself."

"I see that you have quite the adventure to tell me Tiger." Valkyrie giggled as she helped him to his dorm and the rest of the squad reported to Six.

One hour later

"Is that all?" Six asked as she read the mission file.

"Yes ma'am." Thermite nodded, "He performed better than anticipated and he makes the best out of situations better than anyone I have ever seen."

"I see." Six said while setting down the file, "What do you make of him Thermite?"

"I think that he is a valuable asset to our team." Thermite said at attention, "With his expertise in unarmed combat, we are open to more options of negotiations and missions."

"Speaking of which," Six said while pulling out a file, "I just happen to have a mission just for him and his girlfriend."

"Ma'am?"

"It's your standard espionage mission." Six said while showing Thermite the file, "We need intel on a potential nuclear weapon in Kalingard."

"Kalingard?" Thermite asked while reading through the file, "Isn't that one of the city states in Russia?"

"After the Soviet Union collapsed, it was supposed to dismantle all of its nuclear weapons but some of its silos have been lost." Six said while pulling out another file and opening it to reveal several photos of an old abandoned building, "Some of our own spies have reported seeing potential White Mask members congregating in an area. Their Geiger counters pinged positive for radiation."

"Damn." Thermite said as his eyebrows furrowed, "Isn't this usually a job for the SEALs or CIA? Hell even Delta Force can take care of this."

"The higher ups asked specifically for us." Six said while looking at Thermite in the eye, "I plan on sending Tiger, Valkyrie, Finka, Tachanka, and Kapkan on this mission. Since they're in Russia, the more Russians the better."

"But why Tiger and Valkyrie?"

"Because, they'll be going in under an alias." Six said with a small smile appearing on her usually stoic face, "Their alias is that they are newly proposed couples looking for a nice place to take pictures for their wedding and Finka, Tachanka, and Kapkan will be their guides and photographers."

"So when do they go?"

"In a few weeks." Six said while standing up, "Tiger needs time to heal and I need to get everything set up for their mission."

"I see." Thermite said before asking, "Am I clear to tell them?"

"No." Six said, causing Thermite to sweat slightly, "Let them rest for a bit. They'll be needing it for the mission."

"May I ask a question Six?"

"Proceed."

"What is your interest with Tiger?" Thermite asked nervously, "You seem to be more intrigued than usual with him than any of the other Operators."

"Let's just say." Six said while crossing her arms and read his file, "When he needs to, that man is more dangerous than any of you all with a gun."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Let me ask you a question Thermite." Six asked with her back still turned, "What were you born with?"

"Me?" Thermite said while looking down at his own body, "Skin, heart, lungs, bit of hair, limbs-"

"Exactly." Six said while turning to him, "You were born with your body. God said that a man's greatest weapon was himself. Tiger is the closest thing we have in our arsenal that matches his view."

"Never took you for a religious woman." Thermite joked as she scoffed.

"Oh please." Six said as she rolled her eyes, "There are many things that you don't know about me. Moving along, they will move in under the alias and find out whether or not there is a potential nuclear warhead in the hands of the White Mask."

"Let's hope there isn't." Thermite said as he shook his head and opened the door and was about to leave as he gave her a narrowed look, "I'm not letting you send my friends on a damn death mission just because some tight ass politician told you to."

Thermite left and Six sighed as she took a sip from her water and looked out of her window to see Tiger giving Valkyrie a piggyback ride despite his injuries running away from a laughing Tachanka waving a clear bottle with Fuze and Kapkan right on his tail.

"I do what I must." Six sighed as a small smile opened up on her face, "After all, with you all, the world will be a safer place."
