Summary: In this chapter, the Rovers bust their way into Sturmgeist's command bunker, and fight their way down into his inner lair. After interrogating one of his men about the strength of Sturmgeist's last line of defense, Hunter and Colleen pull one of the Brimstone missiles off the Stealth Rover, and use it to blow away the blast door leading into Sturmgeist's inner sanctum. What will happen when they confront the terrorist leader? Let's find out!

Chapter Four: Spearhead of Freedom

The Rovers met up outside the massive bunker that they'd seen Sturmgeist and his men take the AWGS into. Colleen blew apart the security control panel on the side of the frame with a silenced burst from her XM-29, then Exile opened his helmet's visor, and melted a hole in the door. The team headed into the tunnel, and began making their way down. After going about twenty-five feet, Hunter held up his hand, and motioned for the team to hide. He punched up the comm unit in his helmet, and spoke so that only the other Rovers could hear him. "There's at least ten guards in that armory there, polishing their weapons. Colleen, when I give the signal, toss in a stun grenade. Afterwards, you and I will move in, truss 'em up, then interrogate one. Got it?" She said, "Loud and clear, Huntie!" Hunter then began a five second count, and, once he said "Zero.", Colleen pulled out one of her stun grenades, flicked the pin away, counted to three, then lobbed the grenade. Two seconds later, it went off in a bright flash of light, which the Rovers' helmet visors immediately darkened to block out. Once the blast subsided, Hunter and Colleen charged in, while Blitz and Sam moved in to cover them, and Exile, Kasha, Shag, and Muzzle watched the corridor for any reinforcements. One terrorist was blindly groping around for his MP5, but Colleen kicked the 10mm submachine gun out of his reach, and hauled him up by his uniform collar. She said, "Listen up, you blighter...I wanna know where Sturmgeist is, how many more goons he's got with him, and how many more of those armored beasts he's gonna make. Start talkin', or my fists are gonna start crackin'!" The man said, "Drop dead, you British cur!" Hunter moved up to him, and retracted his visor. He growled menacingly, and said, through gritted teeth, "Don't you DARE talk to my wife like that again, you fascist pig! Now, tell us what we want to know, or you're gonna be sorry!" The man tried to punch Hunter, but broke his knuckles on the armor of Hunter's helmet. Hunter muffled his scream of agony with his armored fist, while Colleen and Sam injected sedatives into the other soldiers. They removed their radioes, stomped them under their boots, then put the soldiers into the weapons lockers. Sam used her laser torch to cut airholes to allow the men to breathe, and Colleen then walked back over to Hunter's side, leaning against the wall, in case she was needed. The man that Hunter now had pinned against the wall was squirming frantically, but Hunter held him fast. He said, "LAST chance, buddy. Start talking, or I'm gonna let you meet my friend, Muzzle." The man spat at Hunter, and Hunter said, "Kasha, let him go." Muzzle was released, and immediately transformed the armory into a disaster area. Once he was done, Kasha put his restraints back on, and the man began sweating. He said, "I'll talk...I'LL TALK!!! Sturmgeist and his second in command, Hans Wagner, along with their elite guards, have retreated to the lower levels. There's a tri-layered titanium blast door protecting the inner hangar, which is where Sturmgeist is with the AWGS. You'd need a tank to bust through that door, but, since you don't have one, you're out of luck. That's all I'm telling you!" Hunter shook his head, then injected the man with a sedative. Blitz tied him up, and said, "Nighty night, naughty little Nazi!" They headed further down the tunnel, occasionally stopping to lob gas grenades into rooms, to take out any soldiers in there, until they finally reached the blast door. Colleen scanned it with her helmet's sensors, and said, "Huntie, that Neo-Nazi goon was right...we're gonna need a real BIG firecracker to bust this door down. Grenades won't work, same with Exile and Kasha's heat vision, and Blitz's claws are a no-go either." Hunter thought it over for a second, then said, "Colleen, come with me. I've got an idea, but I need your help. Exile, you're in command until I get back." Exile said, "Da, Comrade Hunter! We will make sureski no Nazi's get away!" Hunter and Colleen then headed back to the surface, and Hunter then said, "Colleen, go into the Stealth Rover's cockpit, and open up one of the missile bays. I'm gonna pull out one of the Brimstone anti-armor missiles, and then we'll carry it in there together. We're gonna set it down in front of the door, I'll activate the manual arming system, then we'll take cover. Once it goes off, we'll head in and nail Sturmgeist." Colleen smiled, and said, "Huntie...that's brilliant! You're abso-bloomin'-lutely amazing when it comes to thinking up plans in battle. You definitely were born to be a leader." Hunter said, "Awww...thanks...that's nice!" He hugged Colleen, then she entered the cockpit, and opened the missile bay. Hunter slid one of the powerful Brimstone missiles, which had twice the armor-killing power of the AGM-114 Hellfire Air-to-Ground-Missile, and, after Colleen closed the missile bay again, she joined him, and, upon his signal, lifted the missile from the rear, while he lifted it from the front. They went back down the tunnel to the door, and Hunter said, "Get ready to move, team. I'm gonna fire this thing up, and that door's gonna be history. Ready...set...now!" He armed the missile, then yelled, TAKE COVER!!!" He and the other Rovers then ran into the room that was furthest away from the blast door, and, ten seconds later, the missile's powerful 100-plus pound warhead went off with a HUGE roar, turning the hallway outside into a fireball. The door was completely melted, and the Rovers stepped through into the underground hangar. Sturmgeist, Wagner, and the other high-ups of the Iron Wolves were down on the floor, coughing fiercely. Hunter said, in his most no-nonsense voice, "THIS IS THE END OF THE ROAD, STURMGEIST!!! THERE'S NEVER GOING TO BE ANOTHER MENACE LIKE HITLER POSED TO THE WORLD, AND YOU ARE, AS OF NOW, UNDER ARREST!!! SURRENDER RIGHT NOW, OR ELSE!!!" Sturmgeist fired his StG-44, but Hunter and Colleen both dove for the floor, and the rounds took out a chunk of the wall. Sturmgeist said, "OR ELSE WHAT, YOU YANKEE DOG! YOU'RE OUTNUMBERED, AND YOU HAVE NO CHANCE! DO NOT INTERFERE WITH OUR GLOBAL REICH!!!" Blitz stepped forward, and said, "I, AS A SON OF GERMANY, WILL NOT LET YOU, OR ANYONE ELSE, BRING THE SAME RUIN THAT MANIAC HITLER WROUGHT ON THIS COUNTRY, AND THE WORLD! DO LIKE MY FRIEND HUNTER SAID, AND GIVE UP, BEFORE I BITE YOUR TOOSHIE REPEATEDLY!" Sturmgeist shouted, "NEVER!!! IRON WOLVES, KILL THEM, FOR THE REICH!!!" Sturmgeist's men rushed forward, and the Rovers squared off, ready to defend freedom, justice, and liberty, with every ounce of their strength.

Next Chapter: The Rovers engage in an all-out brawl with Sturmgeist's most elite troops. Can they take out all the terrorists, arrest Sturmgeist, then hand him AND the AWGS over to the authorities? Find out next time!
