I'll be Right Here

Captain Washington ducked behind a rock as a tank missile shot right by his head. He took a quick look around and saw that everyone had taken cover at the last second so the missile exploded harmlessly on the ground. The PAC army was pressing really hard and now it seemed that they all got an adrenaline boost. The battle was not going vary well. No matter how many troops they killed it seemed like they just kept on coming.

They were beginning to run low on ammo. He looked over toward Delta Force and saw that Spartan already ran out of ammo and was using his enhanced speed and his energy sword, cutting down any PAC troops that were dumb enough to get too close. He looked next to him and saw Michelle with her duel pistols. Fighting harder then any normal soldier would. He saw Steffen with an assault rifle at his waist spreading the gun fire Rambo style. He saw Ben placing a charge on a PAC tank jumping off and blowing off the treads causing the tank to run into 2 others before they all blew up. Washington looked around for David but had a feeling that all the cracks of a sniper rifle were him. All of them were fighting as hard as they could but it didn't seem like it was going to be enough.

He was feeling guilty now. He was wondering if he had made the right decision by trying to back up his friends.

Flashback

They had just gotten recalled from scouting Belgrad because the PAC had taken it in 2140 against a defense mounted by General Emil Nikoli. They had heard that Delta Force had gone on a secret rescue mission but since everyone had noticed by now that Eisenhower had gone missing it wasn't hard to figure out who they were rescuing. As soon as everyone had heard about the disappearance it was a dangerous blow to the morale of the troops. Luckily though, word had not yet reached the civilian population.

The generals had made an order as a group that was "all troops stay at your positions. They may be only trying to distract us" but all they really wanted was the command of the EU army all to themselves. Even though Titan was only a captain he was respected by everyone.

Now that Delta Force was about to be ambushed and most likely to fight to the last breath rather then run, it would cause a second possibly deadly blow that could make them effectively lose the war. He could not let that happen.

He had gathered all of the men he could and any titan crew members that wanted to help. He wasn't surprised that every single one of them wanted to go with. Dixon had offered his support latter after he heard.

Before they left Washington had addressed the troops by saying "I know that I can't order you to go with me and many of you may not come back. However many of us come back might be court marshaled. I'm giving everyone one last chance to withdraw their support. Anyone who would like to back up Delta Force, take one step f…"

Before he finished everyone had taken a step forward at the same time. Dixon looked back at him giving his 'well you asked' look.

The last thing he said to all of them was "God speed."

End flashback

Alright, he made the right choice but now he had to figure out how to get everyone out of here. He was so busy planning that he didn't notice the lead PAC titan opening a hidden hatch on the front.

On the lead PAC titan

"Sir" Hitler's technician said. He was one of the few normal (meaning not a clone) crew members on the titan "we are within range and the weapons are nearly finished charging"

Hitler responded "good, target the titan on the right side first. Then the left. Then the center."

"S-sir? Why not just destroy the main one first?" asked the technician

"I want Eisenhower to see his army and his life be completely destroyed right before his eyes." Hitler answered with his chilling tone. He flexed his right hand. The only hand with a black glove covering the cyber hand attachment he had received near the start of the war. His entire arm was now a cyber attachment. "Then I will destroy him"

The technician turned to leave when Hitler gave him one last order.

"I want you to make sure none of them escape alive."

Back to the battle

"What the hell is that!?" Nylen shouted

Everyone including all of the PAC troops turned to see the weapons slowly coming out. They all could hear the charging sound of the laser and that sound had sent a wave of fear that broke most of the EU troops moral. All at once everyone retreated. The PAC troops never tried to kill anyone running. They just stood there waiting for their ultimate victory.

During the retreat members of Delta, Beta, and Alpha force all had gotten separated from each other. Nylen grabbed Michelle's hand so they wouldn't get separated. Running to each transport he was really starting to get desperate. All of them were rapidly getting full and leaving with no intention of coming back. That is what happens in this kind of war. Every man for himself.

The charging noise had gotten louder and the laser cannon started to glow light blue. Then it fired. It shot across the battlefield hitting the titan on the left side. For a few seconds there was dead silence, all the sounds of men screaming, and engines roaring had gone silent but everything was still moving like it was before. It was like the world was put on mute. Then the Titan exploded in a huge ball of fire. If things weren't crazy before they sure were now. Many of the troops were shooting each other just to get on a transport.

Nylen spotted an empty transport on the end of the row but it was too far away to get to it on time.

"Oh wait" he said to himself "I almost forgot."

He turned to Michelle and said "quick get on my back!" She got on. Then as he told her to hold on he activated his suit. Running with the suit at maximum speed got them to the transport in less then 5 seconds. Michelle climbed into the co-pilot seat as Nylen took the pilot seat.

"You do know how to fly this right?" Michelle asked

"No" he answered but showed that he was kidding by turning the engines on and flying away smoothly. As the transport turned around there was an eerie silence. The transport turned just as the other Titan exploded. He noticed that the Magnis had already started its engines preparing to go Supersonic. Nylen desperately grabbed at the radio. He was devastated to find that it was dead. With full determination he pushed the engines to full speed heading for the hanger. They weren't going to make it.

Suddenly, he felt his suit turning itself on. The transport accelerated much faster then it was suppose to. At the last possible moment the transport landed with a crash in the hanger. The titan jumped to Supersonic just as the laser fired. It passed by so closely that a small part of armor turned red hot. They escaped but the force of the impact and the sudden acceleration had caused Nylen to pass out. He herd a voice inside his head saying "I'm here now". His world went dark.
