Chapter Three: Ready, Steady, Go!
After they had offloaded the equipment for the AWGS from their C-5B Galaxy, and gotten the unit powered up, Sturmgeist's men immediately set about giving it a combat test. First, a demonstration of it's anti-tank capabilities. Four radio-controlled drones, which were captured units of the four most powerful tanks in the world, America's M1A2 Abrams, Russia's T-90, Germany's LeopardII, and Britain's ChallengerII. The AWGS was carrying it's laser rifle for this test, and, at a signal from Sturmgeist, the tank drones started up. The ChallengerII was the first to go on the attack, bringing it's powerful 120mm cannon to bear. However, the AWGS came about, and put a laser rifle blast clean through the armor surrounding the engine. The tank was immediately turned into nothing more than a pile of melted metal. The Abrams attempted to get a cannon shot into one of the missile pods, but the AWGS boosted up, and came back down again, it's 72.5 ton body squashing the Abrams flat, like a man stepping on an insect. The T90 was blown apart by the huge 180mm cannon on the mech's left arm, and the LeopardII was hoisted into the air, dropped, then kicked like a football. It went flying, finally sailing into a rock wall outside the base and exploding. Next, came a trio of aircraft drones. An American F-22 Raptor, a Russian Su-37 Terminator, and a British EF-2000 TyphoonII. The TyphoonII was no sooner in the air, then it was shredded by the 35mm cannons on the mech's torso. The F-22 tried to maneuver in to get a shot off with one of the Brimstone anti-armor missiles, but the AWGS crushed it flat with it's right hand. The Su-37 was blown in half by one of the 80mm missiles. Sturmgeist ordered the test to be concluded, and came out. The pilot, Ulrich Dranz, said, "General, are you pleased?" Sturmgeist smiled, and said, "Very much so. Get the unit secured, then you may head to bed." Dranz saluted, then marched off.
Meanwhile, The Rovers were coming in fast, under cloak. They'd seen the AWGS performance via the Stealth Rover's hookup to a German recon satellite, and they knew they had to get the weapon out of Sturmgeist's hands. Colleen said, "Blimey…that thing's a monstrosity! If Sturmgeist manages to get enough of those made, he'll start up a new Nazi regime, one that'll make that lunatic Hitler look like Little Red Riding Hood in comparison." Blitz said, "No chance! I will NOT let Germany, or the world, for that matter, go through that horror show again! The Nazi spectre is staying dead and buried, where it belongs!" Sam turned to her husband, and said, "Blitz, I'll be right there with you, don't worry." Blitz replied, "Thanks, Sam. I love you." He kissed the beautiful female German Shepherd, then the team put their helmets on. Hunter brought the Stealth Rover down for a landing, using the VTOL thrusters on silent running mode. The team climbed out, activated the shields of their armor, and loaded clips of 7.62mm ammo into their XM-29 rifles, as well as sliding 20mm grenades into the launchers on their weapons. The Rovers hid behind a bush outside the base, and they overheard two guards talking in German. Their words came in clearly in English, over the translators in the Rovers' helmets. Once he'd heard enough, Hunter said, "Okay Rovers, here's the plan. Colleen, Blitz, Samantha, you're with me. We'll go around the left flank, work our way to the main command building, and wait there. Exile, you take Kasha, Shag, and Muzzle. Knock out the power supply, the security systems, and capture any intel documents or computer files, that we can give to the BND when we turn this Nazi scumbag in. Everyone ready?" The other Rovers nodded, then they split up, determined to save the world from this demented Nazi terrorist.

Colleen threw a rock at one of the guards, and the man thought it was a grenade. He ran, only to get conked over the head by the buttstock of Hunter's rifle. The second guard came to investigate the noise, and wound up getting yanked up into a nearby tree by Blitz. Blitz bit the guy's rear, then knocked him out with a sleeper hold. He grabbed the soldier's ID card, and then smashed his radio, so he wouldn't be able to radio in when he came to. Once they got through the gate, Sam punched a guard in the face, sending him flying into one of the empty storage crates. She said, "Lights out, sucker!" Blitz bit another guard in the posterior, then bashed him in the head. He said, "When you wake up, I'll come back and bite you again!" Hunter leveled another guard with a left hook, and Colleen flattened all but one, which happened to be hiding, aiming at her with a sniper rifle. Hunter spotted him, and yelled, "COLLEEN, GET DOWN!!!" She ducked, and the bullet whizzed over her head. Hunter grabbed the sniper, broke his rifle in half, and said, "You wanna know what happens when people try to hurt my wife, you fascist goon?" The man spat at him, and said, "For the glory of the Global Reich, you shall die!" He went for his pistol, but Hunter crushed his hand, and kneed him in the crotch, then injected him with a sedative hypospray. He walked back over to Colleen, and she said, "Thanks, Huntie." He hugged her, and replied, "Colleen, I love you, and I won't let anyone hurt you, no matter what. Blitz and Samantha caught up to them, then they headed for the hangar. Exile had just frozen twelve enemies, and Kasha had iced the floor of the mess hall, causing the thirty goons in there to go sliding all over the place. Shag let Muzzle loose in the barracks, and he began wreaking havoc. When Shag went in to get him, he saw that mattresses had been shredded, there were holes in the wall, and unconscious goons were laying everywhere. Muzzle did his usual burp, then Shag re-attached his restraints. Kasha helped Exile download the data, and then they headed back to rejoin Hunter and the others.
Next Chapter: The Rovers must fight their way through Sturmgeist's elite guards, before finally reaching the underground hangar. Can our heroes make it through the second line of defenses? Find out next time!
