"Mission accomplish" Nick said once outside of the base. "Good proceed to the PP and wa-" Pierre said before Dieter cut him off. "Nick new orders for the commandant himself. There's a high ranking soviet general coming to inspect the base. You are to capture and bring him to the PP." "WHAT!" Nick yelled silently. "Are you shittin me?" "No, I'm not we'll give you as much help as possible. Pierre is connecting to a spy satellite as we speak and should be able to tell you where every soviet is." "What bout the cloud cover?" "It can cut right through them using infrared." "Good if I die I'll be sure to hunt the both of ya'll asses." Nick said as he switched the assaulter upper for his sniper upper with twenty-four inch fluted heavy bull barrel and M320A1 mounted on a QD under barrel mount. All the suddenly automatic fired rang out followed by the distinctive sound of AKs being fired. "What the frig?" Nick thought as he look through his scope. Using his night-vision implants he saw his old squad engaging the general's escort. The general's car broke formation and try to escape the ambush. Nick took aim at the driver's head and squeezed the trigger sending the seven point six two armor-piercing incendiary ultra match high-velocity round down the rifle's barrel exiting with a "BANG!!". The round cut through the night air penetrating the driver's side window and striking the driver's head popping it like a balloon. The car then coasted to a stop only to be surrounded by the marines of the First S.O.G. They took the general in to custody and executed the "indigenous personal". Nick then met up with the other marines to continue to the PP. Once there the XV-23 stealth aircraft landed and the general was loaded onto the craft. The gunner toss some gear out and the XV-23 took off. "Reap, Deat said you are to attach yourself to us and help us with our miss. Oh by the way nice snip man." "Thanks Ice what's your miss?" Nick ask as he finish putting his Aegis body armor. Once Nick put his webbing on he then switched the sniper upper for his rifleman upper with a twenty inch heavy barrel and mounted his M320A1 on the QD under barrel mount. "Lets go marines." Nick said as he switched the 7.62mm round magazine for the 6.35mm round magazine.

As they moved out the base exploded. Nick followed Ice's squad to an unknown location for an unknown reason. "American, over here." someone said with a strong Russian accent. The squad pointed their rifles at the voice "Password." Ice said as he lined the person up in his sights. "There isn't a password." the woman said as she lowered her suppressed M2SA carbine. "Follow me Americans." the woman order them. "Where you get the carbine?" Ice asked. "None of your damn business. Now shut up till we get to the base." As they moved to the base they walked upon a soviet patrol. Ice gave the signal to lay down the squad silently laid down covered by the darkness. The soviet patrol stepped within a foot of them at the least. After the patrol pass and was out of sight they rose from the ground and started to move out when a tail gunner walk upon them. Ice grabbed him by putting him in a full nelson. Nick then threw his knife into the soldier's head. "Nice one Reap." Ice said as he remove Nick's knife from the soviet's head. "We better move out fore they realize their a tail gunner short." Nick said as Ice handed him his knife. "Yeah we better get going." their Russian guide stated to the marines. "Where this base she was babbling about." Skull committed upon entering the base. "I don't know man but this cave is perfect for an ambush Gunner." Kat replied. "Yah can't see shit even with these NVGs." Skull replied to Kat. "We're here." the guide said. "Anastasia, what took so long?" "Ran into a soviet patrol." Anastasia replied to her comrade. "So these are the people who are suppose to help us eleven soldiers? We're screwed." the man said to Anastasia. "Yuri I'm sure that their some of the best the U.S. has." Anastasia assured him. "We're Marines not soldiers mac." Skull told Yuri. "I call you soldiers if I feel like it." Yuri replied "Yeah and I'll bash your frigging skull in you da-!" Skull replied angrily before Nick cut him off. "Skull control yourself." "Whatever Reap." Skull said to Nick as his shot Yuri a look that sent chills down Yuri's spine. "If looks could kill I'll be a dead man." Yuri said to Anastasia in Russian so that the marine couldn't understand him. "What did you say?" Skull asked Yuri in a threatening tone. "That for me to know and you to find out American." Yuri said teasing Skull. "Relax Skull the man just paid you a compliment." Nick said surprising Yuri who thought that none of the Americans knew Russian. "You look familiar American what's your name?" Yuri question Nick. "That's above your pay grade." Nick cockily replied. "Now" Nick continued "Lets get down to business cause I ain't got time for bullshit." "Yuri he got a point." Anastasia said to Yuri. "Yeah, I guess your right Anastasia. Whoever in charge follow me." Yuri said to Nick in particular. "Ice your squad you go." Nick said to Ice. "You got it Reap" Ice said to Nick as he follow Yuri into a hole well concealed in the cave's floor. "What the hell." Psych said. "How do you think we hide for the soviets." Anastasia stated to him. "Tunn you should love this place." Psych said to his friend. "Yeah man as long as its like them tunnels in the Amazon." "Those things was like fifteen inches tall man." Psych replied as they follow Anastasia deeper into the cave.

"Hey lady where are we going?" Kat asked Anastasia. "Further back to the rear entrance." Anastasia replied. Walking to the rear entrance Anastasia uncover the hole by moving the rock that concealed it. "You all go in and I'll close the door." "I'm first." Nick said as he got down on his hands and knees and crawled into the tunnel. Upon reaching the end of the tunnel Nick stood up only to find around twenty to thirty guns pointed at him. "I'm a U.S. Marine!" Nick shouted in American. "What your name?" one of the Russian asked Nick. "That's above your pay grade." Nick cockily said to the man. "Lower arms." the Russia order his men in his native langue. "Yuri said that you're a cocky son of a bitch." "And damn proud of it." Nick reply as Tunn came out of the tunnel. "Yuri told me to take you to your rooms." the man said to the squad. "We'll wait for our guide." Nick told the man "Suit yourselves. I'm sure that Anna can take you to your rooms." the man replied as he left. "Well they ain't change much" Nick thought as they was walking to their rooms. "Yuri that American they called Reap I feel like I know him from somewhere." Anastasia told her brother. "I know what you mean sis, I know him from somewhere. I just can't put a finger on it."
