Arriving at Mezam county on Cameroon's Northwest Region, Bond carefully treks his way through the dense foliage to avoid patrols of Cameroonian soldiers. After three patrols passed by him, Bond continued on, with his Walther PPK/S in hand.
''M never told me this county would be heavily patrolled.'' Bond murmured.
Hearing the distinct roar of a helicopter engine, Bond hides behind some bushes as a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter belonging to the Academi private military company flies over it.
''What's Academi doing here?'' Bond asked himself, surprised by the appearance of American mercenaries in Cameroon.
Once the Blackhawk helicopter lands, a squad of Academi commandos and General Myssem himself disembark from the helicopter. Bond immediately contacts Tanner.
''Bond to MI6. I've found the general, and he has a squad of American mercenaries escorting him. Definitely the work of McCall.''
''At this rate, you need to be on your toes at all times.'' Tanner replied. ''Engage them only when fired upon. You have permission to return fire.''
''Understood.'' Bond said half-heartedly. ''The general's our top priority right now.''
Opening his bag, Bond takes up the Kangaroo grenade launcher and loads up on fragmentation rounds, knowing full well that he must not harm General Myssem.
As he stalks his target, he stumbles upon a base camp full of Cameroonian soldiers and Academi commandos. However, before he could fire the grenade launcher, Bond notices that, just hundreds of miles away, three platoons of Anglophone rebels, armed with AK-47s, Dragunov sniper rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, are about to launch a guerrilla attack on the base camp.
One rebel with a Dragunov fires a round at the soldier on the watch tower, killing the man and causing the alarm to be sounded.
With the entire base camp on high alert, the soldiers and American commandos split up in teams, trying to find the shooter. It is at this moment when the platoons of rebels immediately launch their attack, firing their AK-47s with pinpoint precision, killing scores of soldiers and commandos. Taking advantage of the chaos, Bond rushes straight into the camp, deadset on apprehending General Myssem.
Several soldiers and Academi commandos spot Bond and fire at him, only for Bond to slide under the small bridge from where they are firing at him from, firing a fragmentation round at the bridge. Once the bridge collapses, Bond's attackers fall over to the ground, where they are left to the mercy of the attacking rebels. An Academi commando stationed at a nearby barracks fires at Bond with his M4, but Bond returns fire with his PPK/S and kills him. Bond immediately takes the M4 and reloads the gun, firing wildly at the myriad of enemy soldiers and commandos defending the base camp, to the amazement of the rebels.
As Bond continues storming his way into the camp, firing the M4 at the soldiers defending the general's command center, the rebels press on, following Bond's lead as they gun down the enemy troops.
Arriving at the command centre, Bond guns down two Academi commandos and holds General Myssem at gunpoint.
''Looks like your little chemical endeavour is over, General.'' Bond said.
''And you must be…'' General Myssem attempts to figure out who he's facing, only for Bond to give out the usual introduction.
''Bond. James Bond.''
''Mr. Bond, you cannot win.'' General Myssem said, trying to demoralize him. ''No matter what you do, it's useless. My soldiers may be already gassing towns all over this province by now.''
''Then tell me this!'' Bond bellowed furiously. ''Where did you receive the chemical weapons from?''
Noticing an Academi commando lining up a shot with an M82 Barrett sniper rifle, Bond, realizing that General Myssem is about to be killed, continues pressing him for information, the barrel of his M4 continuously poking the general's chest to pressure him into spilling the information.
''I cannot tell you.'' General Myssem said. ''The plague has already begun to spread, there's absolutely nothing you can do.''
''What plague?!'' Bond furiously asked him.
At that moment, the commando fires his sniper rifle, the bullet hitting General Myssem squarely in the head, killing him instantly. He then shoots himself in the head with his Colt pistol soon afterwards.
Bond flies into a rage, firing his M4 all over the command center, destroying the equipment before collapsing on the floor, to the shock of the rebels that immediately began mopping up whatever resistance remained on the base camp. However, he soon notices the dead general's cell phone. Quickly recomposing himself, Bond gets ahold of the cell phone and checks the message logs. As he scours through the logs, he finds one peculiar text message from McCall, which came from Nashville, Tennessee. The message is as follows:
''Illegals will be purged. Ebola gas continuously being mass produced. Next delivery in three days.''
''Ebola? Illegals?'' Bond's mind becomes fixated on the text message.
As one group of rebels enters the command center, they see the carnage caused by Bond, and spot Bond reading the text message.
''You're MI6?'' One rebel asked Bond.
''Yes.'' Bond replied, having finished reading the text message.
''Come with us.'' The rebel said.
With little hesitation, Bond leaves the base camp with his equipment and the cell phone while under rebel escort.
Arriving at the rebel base, Bond, surrounded by rebel troops, places his PPK/S, the M4 and the Kangaroo grenade launcher on the ground.
''I've seen better receptions than this.'' Bond said in his usual witty manner.
Taken at gunpoint to the war room, Bond is surprised to find a young Asian woman in full spy gear coordinating with the rebels. The woman looks to be at her mid-20s.
''So I assume you're the one who directed these men to General Myssem's camp.'' Bond said.
''Yes, Commander Bond. I know who you are, and I didn't realize you're after the same thing.''
The woman introduces herself to Bond.
''I am First Lieutenant Choi Sung-ree. North Korean intelligence. It's been a pleasure.''
''The pleasure's always mine.'' Bond replied.
''So what brings you here?'' The North Korean agent asked. ''And give me a good reason why I can't have these men shoot you right here and now.''
Bond shows her the cell phone, complete with the text message.
Meanwhile, at a forward operating base near the regional capital of Bamenda, Rementon, having recently arrived at the Northwest Region to get his revenge on Bond, boards one of the Academi UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters, taking a squad of commandos with him. The helicopter lifts off toward the rebel stronghold where Bond is held.
''Interesting.'' Choi said, having read the text messages. ''So that's what brought you here, and I'm following similar leads because of a gas attack pinned on my government.''
''Where did it happen?'' Bond asked.
''There was a gas attack in Taipei last week.'' Choi explained in detail. ''Dozens of civilians dead. Some of the survivors have the usual Ebola symptoms and are currently at containment facilities in the city. The Taiwanese government suspected North Korea of being behind the attack, but my government never tested Ebola for bioweapon or chemical agent use, so they sent me here to investigate.''
''General Myssem said something about the plague having already spread before he was killed.'' Bond replied. ''He even said that there are gas attacks ongoing in this province right now.''
''How is it possible, Commander?'' Choi asked.
''Unless the American Neo-Nazis I'm pursuing perfected it.'' Bond said, realizing what McCall has been doing all this time.
''Neo-Nazis?'' Choi asked exasperatedly. ''Seriously. What is going on?''
At that moment, the Blackhawk helicopter arrives at the stronghold and Rementon, manning the door-mounted M60 machine gun, begins firing at the rebels, killing several of them while the commandos rappel down to search for Bond.
''Find Mr. Bond and kill him!'' Rementon yells out orders to the commandos as he continues mowing down the rebel camp.
Bond runs out of the war room, with his PPK/S and M4 in hand, while Choi, armed with only a Tokarev TT-33 pistol, follows him. Dozens of rebels return fire at the helicopter, only for them to be mowed down by the commandos. Bond and Choi take cover in the trenches under fire from the commandos, and they return fire at them, killing two each with pinpoint accuracy.
His escort killed, Rementon takes matters into his own hands and rappels down from the chopper to confront the veteran agent.
''So this guy's a Neo-Nazi?'' Choi asked about Rementon.
''Yes, and he still has half a scalp on his head.'' Bond replied, while handing over the Kangaroo to her.
''This grenade launcher as a sniper attachment with tranquilizer rounds. Use them to take out the pilot.''
With a reluctant nod, Choi takes the grenade launcher and goes further into the trenches, all the while the Blackhawk helicopter circles around the camp.
Bond comes face-to-face with Rementon, with his hands gripping his weapons firmly.
''So, we meet again, Mr. Bond.'' Rementon said, expressing his contempt for his opponent.
''You know, the moment I sidestepped you, I could have grinded your whole head with the fan.'' Bond replied, the feeling being mutual.
''Now you will feel the pain you gave me.'' Rementon continued, his anger rising. ''You will pay for my humiliation with your life!''
Drawing two MP5 submachine guns, Rementon fires at Bond, who returns fire with his PPK/S and M4. Both men repeatedly take cover in the trenches, taking potshots at each other as they move from corner to corner. As it happens, Choi, having gone through the trenches, hides on a nearby bush while taking aim at the Blackhawk pilot.
Having expended their ammo, Bond and Rementon resort to hand-to-hand combat, with Bond kicking him at the head. The hateful Neo-Nazi responds by punching him in the groin three times. Bond swipes at him, scratching one of his eyes. Partially blinded, Rementon, in a frenzy, grabs Bond and tosses him into the barbed wire.
''Prepare to die, Mr. Bond!'' Rementon said, just as he grabs his neck and starts to strangle him. With his breath fading, Bond tries to punch at Rementon to no avail.
Just as Bond struggles to free himself from Rementon's grasp, Choi fires a tranquilizer round at the cockpit, knocking out the pilot and causing the helicopter to lean downward toward the trenches. Seeing the Blackhawk careening towards them, Rementon gets momentarily distracted, allowing Bond to kick him on the head with whatever strength he had left and escape in a mad dash out of the trenches. The dazed Rementon could only watch as the Blackhawk falls on top of him, crushing him and exploding in the process.
Shortly afterward, Bond, having narrowly escaped the explosion of the Blackhawk, quips on Rementon's death.
''Now that's what I call a total grinding.''
Choi returns to where Bond is, shocked at the scenery before them.
''Do you always leave a big mess wherever you go, Commander Bond?'' Choi asked him.
''Sometimes, but not always.'' Bond replied. ''And for the record, call me by my first name. Will you?''
''Of course.'' Choi said, impressed by Bond's tenacity in the face of danger.
