Note: I got really lazy while writing this alternate ending. Wrote it on and off and had some difficulties thinking up of what to write. I finally finished writing this a while ago but was again too lazy (to type it up) There's one minor thing in the original story where I wrote "I was their captain. I cost them their lives blah blah blah" In this ending only Roach dies. I'll make adjustments to the original story later so it goes along with this ending.
My mind was racing a mile a minute. I was trying to decide on the best possible way to save him from the gunshot wound. I grabbed morphine and injected him then I tried to stabilize him. I had him sit up against a crate while I looked out the window to see how screwed we were. I could see a mass of Shepherds men charging at the tower. I grabbed my assault rifle, aimed, and shot. I couldn't get enough kills due to the area getting too hot. I told Price Ghost and I needed an immediate extraction. He told me he couldn't get anyone in for another 30 minutes. I needed to hold off Shepherds men until then. I cussed him out saying Ghost wouldn't be able to make it that long for help. I looked over to Ghost who was wheezing. The bandage I had put around his neck was almost soaked in blood. I put on a new layer of bandage and sulked. There was no point in complaining to anyone. I knew I had to wait it out; I just didn't want to lose another good soldier.
Wave after wave men came running to fill in the spot where another died. I was on my last clip. I looked over to Ghost, he was barely conscious and I looked back out the window. My hope started to fade. I didn't believe either of us was going to make it out. I thought if we didn't I'd try t make it a hell of a fight with what I had left. I unleashed what was left on my rifle on a group of men rushing towards the tower then reloaded to my last clip. I threw my last grenade towards a riverbank where a group of men were huddled. I scanned the area and decided on whom I needed to take out first. I took out the few people closest to the tower then worked my way back. Before I knew it, I was out of bullets. I quickly pulled out my pistol debating on weather or not it was worth using it. I thought, "Screw it. I've got nothing else."
I took a quick look at Ghost another time. I slapped him a couple times to keep him awake and called out his name. All of a sudden, there was a heavy rain of bullets. Some coming into the tower. I threw myself over Ghost to keep him safe until it was gone. It wasn't until it passed that I heard Price yelling over all the noise saying how the chopper was ready. I picked up Ghost as carefully as possible heading to the latch door. I swung it open sliding down the ladder. Luckily, the chopper hadn't landed far. Again, Price was yelling at me to hurry. I forgot about the men shooting at me and ran as fast as I could. The closer I got, the faster I ran. I saw a medical team on board and that made my day. Ghost was going to make it. I looked back at the tower for the last time. I swore I'd kill Shepherd for Roach. Hooah.
