FOLLOWING ORDERS!
Dawn approaches and the sky slowly gets lighter as the men that Evan Stonebrook leads continue their fight for the high rise flats next to the bay. The rain has finished and the ground is flooded by puddles, puddles that are filled with the blood of both Dreadnaught and Trojan Army soldiers. The bodies of the fallen lay scattered across the ground medic are over some who still fight for survival even though their fight will be in vein.
Evan has he back pressed against the wall next to a dumpster filled alley way. He looks over the wall seeing Tim, Jack and a handful of weary men. He gives them a nod and they nod back and breathe deeply. Evan grabs a flash bang grenade of his chest and hurls it into the dank side street. It goes off and Evan turns the corner and begins firing his assault rifle wildly.
"Go!" He screams running toward the first piece of cover he can find.
The men instantly turn and begin their firing on their enemies, who continues to hold their positions even though in the face of this firepower they should just flee for their lives.
Tim hurls a fragmentation grenade over a dumpster and quickly ducks into a door way that leads into a basement, as it explodes with several loud screams of pain.
"Move!" Evan orders standing up and begins advancing again firing his gun the entire time. His men do the same and those enemies who try to flee get cut down in their tracks.
Terror fills the hearts of those who now lay hidden as the Dreadnaughts approach. They think do they try to run for it and get mowed down by the advancing soldiers with itchy trigger fingers or wait until they reach them and get executed in cold blood by the blood thirsty enemy who finds him.
"Rockets!" Evan roars the order as men fire rockets at the enemy's positions. When the rockets hit their targets it sends shards of shrapnel and enemies flying in every direction. Those men lucky enough not to get hit fatally run for their lives through the waves of gunfire out of the battlefield that is that alley way only to be confronted by the sentinel walkers and their chain guns.
There is no escape for the men and they are simply executed by the Dreadnaught force that has overwhelmed them and cut their retreat off. The last enemy falls and the gunfire ceases. Evan turns to his men and his wounded cry for medics!
"Ok men! Well done!" he says congratulating his men on there victory, "get these men to the field hospital ASAP!" men pick up the wounded and carry them off.
"What's next sir?" Tim asks.
"We're gonna regroup and attack that construction site while the sentinels go round and attack the warehouses! The assault is at 0900."He says pointing at the construction site 300 meters from the exit of the alley way.
Dean opens his eyes to see the beautiful girl who he had held in his arms last night finishing getting changed. She turns to the bed and smiles at him
"Morning sleepy head" she says cutely.
"Mmmm, morning." He says rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, "what time is it?"
"Eight o'clock" Steph tells him making her way toward the bed.
"Shit!" he says disappointedly and gets to his feet quickly, "I hate to leave you here by yourself but I've got a meeting with the general. Sorry!" He kisses her softly on the cheek but it doesn't take the look of disappointment off her face.
Walking toward the door dean stops suddenly and goes back to Steph who is sitting on the edge of the bed now curious about the reason deans coming back toward her.
He kisses her yet again on the cheek and her face lights up into a big cute smile as dean walks for the door again. He leaves the room to find his team having breakfast.
Michael makes a gesture that Dean had sex with the girl who he's looking after and boys begin laughing franticly. Hayden taps Michael on the shoulder getting his attention for what he wants to do next.
"So captain," he pauses, "was it all for the greater good?" putting an accent on the word all. The team begins rolling on the floor with laughter. Dean stops in his tracks.
"Have your jokes lads but I wasn't sleeping with a bunch of guys last night now was I??" he asks them rhetorically, "I'm going to see the General now!"
"Alright see ya!" he says still trying to think of a come back as Dean walks out the door.
Dean walks into a room filled with radios map and high ranking officers.
"Captain Tyler, over here!" Jason yells across the room to Dean and he walks over to the General.
"Morning General! How's your army faring?" he asks.
"Well the casino is ours, and we have the enemy in chaos in the park." He says walking toward a table with a map of the island, "we are preparing to attack these warehouses." pointing them out on the map, "I'm about to send reinforcement to Captain Bullock in the park."
"Captain!?" Dean cuts off Jason in surprise.
"Yeah Captain Jones was K.I.A!" he tells him sincerely. Dean pauses taking in what he just heard.
"That's too bad," he says remembering the now deceased, "he was a good man, and a good captain."
"Yeah it is a shame but fortunately this lead to bull finding his leadership skills, a good captain he will make. In fact he's already doing well."
"So what is my company going to be doing?" Dean questions.
"I was wondering when you were going to ask that." He says with a smile on his face ready to get down to business. "Ok you're going to attack a theatre on the other side of the park which the Rasiermesser grenadiers have been using as their HQ."
"Are you thinking we do a bit of cut the head of the snake off and the bodies dies general?" he queries.
"Precisely my man. And your companies gonna be decapitating that snake tonight at 2300."
"Can do sir!" dean says turning to walk away.
"Good luck Captain!"
0900
Evan takes point as his company walks through the construction site. The silence of the area is only disturbed by the foot steps of the dreadnaught soldier's boots and the racing beat of his heart. This is too easy, something's not right, Evan thinks to himself.
He stops dead in his tracks and scan the surrounding area, he continues looking until he hear the whistle of a rocket and a portable office explodes sending shards of burning debris.
"Shit!" he screams, "it's an Ambush!" everyone turns and begins to run back until one of Evan's men steps on a mine and is kill with a loud blast.
"Minefield!" jack roars hitting the deck quickly and everyone else is not far behind him.
Evan looks around for the enemies or a way to escape but instead sees a fighter jet squadron heading toward the sentinels.
"Shit!" he says as he begins to run toward the sentinel company.
"Get out of there!" he bellows at the sentinel captain running toward him.
"What the fuck?" the Sentinel captain says confused looking at Evan run toward him. He glances to the other side and sees the jets coming in over the bay at top speed guns ready.
"Fuck me!" the sentinel captain says seconds before the entire sentinel company is vaporized in the immense heat of the explosion that throws Evan to his feet.
"Crap!" he roars, "fall back!" he scream getting back to his feet and running toward the high rise flats once again.
"Fall back!" he screams again. Turning to see his men being chased by the Trojan army. He watches as his men run toward him but the Trojan's follow his men closely gunning them down coldly. Out of the corner of his eye he sees Jack take a bullet to the chest.
"Jack!" he screams running toward him but Tim grabs him and holds him.
"Captain! Come on" Tim yells still holding Evan back from running back into the thick of the battle.
Jack pulls out 2 grenades and throws them at the advancing enemy. The explode killing many of the blood thirsty Trojans.
Evan knows he must leave but dares not turn on his good friend he walks up the rest of the hill facing the oncoming enemy unleashing a wave of lead upon them.
More men advance on Jack's position; he pulls out another two grenades and pulls the pins. He releases them when the enemy gets close enough.
"Surprise! Mother fucker!" he bellows before the grenades explode killing both Jack and the enemies that surrounded him.
Evan watches on and sees his friend and his enemies get torn apart from the devastating blast.
"Jack!" he screams in sorrow, he turns and runs with a tear rolling down his dirty cheek.
Dean walks into the hotel room filled with his men lounging around enjoying their stay at the Grand Hotel Sharplex.
"So Captain, what are our orders?" Michael inquires.
"We are going to attack a theatre tonight at twenty-three hundred." He informs them, "a theatre that the Raisermesser Grenadier has been using as their HQ!"
"Hell Yeah!" Hayden exclaims, "we gonna kill ourselves some commanders!" he says with a big smile on his face.
"Yeah, so I want everyone to have a big dinner and some sleep." He tells them, "We meet in the lobby at nine o'clock! Ok?"
"Yes sir!" his soldiers reply.
Dean moves toward the bedroom that he and Steph had slept in the previous night, opens the door to find Steph sitting on the bed looking up at him.
"So, you're going on some special mission?" she asks.
"yeah." He says softly sitting down on the bed next to her. Steph gets up and grabs his rifle that he put down as he walked in the room.
"What are you doing?" he asks puzzled.
"I'm coming with you!" she tells him confidently.
"No you're not!" He argues firmly.
"Why not? I can fight! I can kill!" she states.
"I'm sure you can Steph, but I don't want you there!" he tells her moving toward her.
"I want to fight!" she says getting more passionate and louder.
"You're not coming and that's final!" he bellows pushing her against the wall and holding her there firmly.
"Don't you love me!?" she asks in a scream.
"I do love you! That's precisely the reason I don't want you to fight!" he roars in reply.
She looks down, diverting her eyes from him. He grabs her head with his hand and positions her head so she's looking at him.
"I just love you too god dam much!" he says before kissing her firmly on the lips but she pulls away after the a few seconds.
She kisses him back now harder and filled with passion. The lust in the room reaches boiling point and Steph rips open his top and dean rips off Steph's top.
The continue kissing and stop for only seconds, like animals coming up for air. Steph's hands move down his chest and undo his belt. He picks her up and throws her on the bed before jumping on the bed with her…
