Call of Duty: Omega Warfare
Chapter 4 "Home Coming"
"Gah!"
Humphrey sat straight up. He was in a hospital bed. He looked around and everything was quiet. The only sound heard was the steady: beep... Beep... Beep... Beep Of the heart monitor.
He saw shadows wall by and called out: "Hey nurse! I need some help!"
Silence...
"Nurse?..."
The curtain flung open and a zombified nurse jumped at him making a screech sound.
"-Gah!..." Humphrey shot up again. Only this time he was breathing heavily and found himself in the same room as before. Only this time he was alone. He looked around and saw 3 corpses scattered in the room with him. He looked around and noticed he was stripped clean of all his gear. Minus his jacket, pants, tan boots, and favorite gloves.
He stood up and looked at the dead soldiers in the room. He didn't recognize any of them. Upon closer inspection he saw they were Bravo Squad wolves. He looked around the room again. Not weapon. Everything had been picked clean...
He grabbed a tan scarf off the soldier before him against the wall. He rapped it up around his face to conceal it better. Noe all you could see of Cpl. Humphrey G. 'Roach' Sanders was his eyes and top portion of his head. The scarf fell over the bottom half of his face like a tan vial.
Humphrey pulled out a spare knife he had hidden in his boot and cautiously approached the back door. He waited before cracking it open. When he did he saw a cliff. It was about 16 feet away from the 1 room house. He stepped out onto the grass; careful not to make any noise. He turned right, back against the wall, with knife in hand and scooted to the edge of the house.
Once there he peaked around the corner and saw a soldier with his vest in his hands. There was a small pit of fire going and he was tossing random things into the fire. One thing in his hand that caught Humphrey's attention was a picture of Kate. The soldier was about to toss it in-*Slick*...
The soldiers eyes widened as he slowly was let back onto the grass ever so quietly. Humphrey immediately grabbed the picture, put it into his pocket, before he put on his tactical combat vest. Humphrey looked in front of the house and couldn't believe what he saw. There was huge craters ever where. All the trees and vegetation had been mowed down by what he can only assume was bullet fire.
"Well no since in waiting here... Guess I gotta find my own extraction... Or my squad mates..."
With that Humphrey picked up a cheap AK-47 that had a grenade launcher and extended mags before heading back to the rode...
Flashback
Just after loss of contact...
"Damn it! There's just to many of the bastards!" Shouted Ghost as he reloaded his SCAR-H. He had Holographic sites, laser sight, and grip.
Pap, pap, pap, pap, pap, pap! Went Lt. 'Soap's Five Seven pistol. "I'm dry! some one toss me a mag!"
He looked back then realized something... He was the only one to choose a M16A1 Assault rifle. A rocket flew in threw a window and hi the back wall killing a 2 soldiers. That's when he noticed it. 'Roach' still had his G9 in it's holster.
'Soap' ran grabbed t ad returned fire. "Medic?!"
"Yeah?!" shouted a field medic who had stopped tending to Humphrey and was currently patching up soldier's leg wound.
"Is he stabilized yet?" Asked Mac Tavish.
"Yeah we just gotta-*Bink*"
The soldier fell back, with a bullet hole in his head, just as a flash bang entered the room.
*PING!*
The door was quickly kicked in and before anyone could react everyone was hit with the butt of a rifle and pinned on the ground. They all look up just in time as their target, Rojas, steps threw the door. He pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the soldier clutching his leg.
"No please! I have a wife and ki-*Bang*-..."
He shouted something they couldn't understand to his men; before he turned to the remaining 4 task Force 141 soldiers and saying "Well it looks like you'll be staying with me for a while... I'll try to make it as comfortable as possible..."
Then the wolf smiled signalling his men to-
*BLACKNESS*
Flashback over...
Humphrey moved his way down the streets carefully. He'd duck into an alley way when ever a car would pass by and, if need be, hide in a dumpster on occasion...
"*sigh*... This is getting me no where..." Humphrey flipped the lid up, stuck his knife into the neck of one of his would be searchers and, grabbed his head slamming it down onto the rim of the bin it's self...
He then hoped out and looked around. It appeared that the cost was clear. He then dragged on of the soldiers behind a dumpster...
5 minutes later...
Humphrey came out dressed in their uniforms. He had on a grey face mask, black shaded goggles, a black jacket, black combat vest with grey pouches, a M4 carbine, grey cargo pants, black combat boots and a black helmet.
Humphrey looked around and saw a squad of soldiers rushing somewhere. In the back of his head he knew what was going on. The man they were after 'Rojas' as he liked to be called liked to make public executions of rebels or captured enemies...
He quickly climbed onto the back of a troop transport truck as it pulled away with squad inside. As they were driving Humphrey was holding on and was thinking. "How the fuck am I gonna save them... FUCK!... I should've never been picked... It should've been an alpha... At least they can form plans..." Then what ghost said to him popped up in his head... About him not being an alpha before... It didn't matter what rank they were; because they made up for each other's weaknesses.
Then a small hakky sack hit him in the face. He looked back into the main area was that all the soldiers were sitting in. Everyone had froze. Their eyes looked wider then normal. That's when Humphrey looked at his badge and saw the rank of 'Alpha' Captain on it. He then looked down and saw the ball rattling around on the floor as the truck drove. He reached down and picked it up. After examining it for a second he threw it back towards them. But just to seal off the act he gave them a angry glare before looking away into the distance...
They rode a little longer before they stopped at the gate. when they stopped Humphrey looked to see why and saw that there was a checkpoint. He quickly hoped off and approached them. It appeared they had trouble getting in. The wolf at the gate, a Lieutenant, was letting them threw because they were all low ranking omegas. Humphrey now understood and tapped the soldier on his shoulder. He turned around to meet a pissed off glare from Humphrey. This slightly startled him until he responded something Humphrey managed to understand.
During the day he got there he became close to fluent, because of this mission, in their language...
"What do you want Omega?"
Humphrey simply shifted his arm and showed the rank of Captain. The soldiers eyes widened and he muttered "sir... Please forgive m-"
Humphrey didn't let him finish and cut him off saying "Enough! You will let them pass threw. In exchange you won't receive too extreme a punishment for you'r insolence..." The soldier alerted the other guards to allow passage and in a minute the truck was moving past the check point.
After a short ride it stopped just outside of small stadium. Humphrey jumped off the back and looked around. Nothing much. Just some dry parking lot with a few cars that had obtained faded paint jobs. To his left Humphrey couldn't see anyone. So he decided to head in that direction. It paid off...
Humphrey found a door reading "Officers Only". Since he was technically an officer he walked in...
Humphrey made his way up the stair case and found the room , for the most part, empty. Humphrey walked to a tinted window. His gun dropped to his side and he stared out at the field... There were hundreds of soldiers and a few vehicles on the field. Humphrey knew he had to act quickly. If he could just-
A voice shouted in a language not his own. His reactions took over as he spun around, immediately dropping to a crouch, and shot. A body fell to the ground and before he realized it he had bullets punching threw the window he was next to. A squad had been walking by just in front and saw him...
With no other choices Humphrey ran for the stair case were he found another 2 soldiers pulling their guns up. They had heard the gun shots; but after the flurry of bullets and the radio chatter they assumed he had been killed and resumed their climb of the stairs. Humphrey fired accurately enough sending both soldiers rolling down the stair case breaking multiple bones on the way to the bottom. Humphrey wasn't sure they were dead; but with the base on high alert he had to get away fast.
Humphrey saw a Hummer loading up with soldiers about to head out. He quickly flagged them down and climbed into the back. He was relieved and also tense at the same time. Relieved that he was on his way away from the base. But also tense for if they were to call this specific patrol he would be in a heap of trouble. He might be able to take on 2 at a time; but 4? He might as well be given a death sentence.
He began to here chatter on the radio. He manage to translate it to himself as it said "Stop by order of Rojas! You can not leave!" Then that's when the driver floored the gas and rammed threw the gate and a chase began. The one in the turret seat turned around and started firing off 50. caliber rounds when Humphrey shouted "WHAT THE HELL!?"
In his native language, English, and he heard the one next to him say "Wait, what the fuck?"
The others also noticed his slip up and Humphrey immediately went to punch the one next to him. He got 4 good punches to his face off, and it looked like he might win, before being pulled back by the wolf in the passenger seat and hit with the bud of the rifle. That hit him just right knocking him unconscious.
As every thing faded to black he heard the voices again; but they all had different accents to them...
Humphrey's Dream...
He saw Kate sitting on a couch crying. He didn't know why she was crying. So he went to go talk to her; but fond that his hand faded right threw her. It actually turned to mist when it hit her and reformed when it was away from her. He then saw Garth enter the room. He growled on instinct when he sat near Kate.
"Hey Kate... It's gonna be fine..."
Kate immediately jumped up from the spot she was sitting at and shouted back at him "NO! It's not! The only wolf I'll ever love is dead! Do you not get it ?! Humphrey is gone forever! and his killer is still somewhere out there!" Kate resumed her sobbing. This time she fell to her knees on the metal floor of the room crying.
While normally Humphrey would've went by her to tell her 'No I'm not dead' or 'Kate stop crying! I'm right here!' He was still in shock over this dream and the other dream. Both dreams had him dead, granted this one appears to be a follow up to the other one, it all feels way more realistic then it should...
Humphrey was about to go grab Kate and hold her when everything turned to smoke and another image materialized. It was of what Humphrey could only make out as Jasper City. Something was wrong though...
The entire city had a red tint to it. The sky burned red and there was smoke patching it towards the more industrialized parts. He was across the street from a fast food place. There were dozens of rangers trying there best to defend it; but hey were being torn to bits by cannon fire from a BTR.
Humphrey then turned to a poof of smoke as soldier ran threw him. When he came back to he saw it was a female with golden tan fur. Upon closer inspection it was Kate. She quickly ran back to the dinner behind him, this time he dodged her, and sat by the door pulling out a trigger. Humphrey realized just in time what that trigger was before the BTR behind him exploded.
Humphrey looked back for Kate; but couldn't see her anywhere. So he searched an sure enough he found her, behind the counter the the dinner, with what looked like a military grade laptop. He looked at the screen as a explosion happened in the distance. He looked back towards the screen as Kate directed the camera towards another group of hostiles. Right as the camera crashed he heard another explosion.
Then there was no mistake. Kate was operating a military Reaper; firing predator missiles in order to support the rangers in side of 'Burger Town'. He went to speak to her when he heard shouting. He turned just in time to see grenade fly into him, dispersing him, then reaped just as he heard the grenade go off with a yelp. He turned back; but everything faded to blackness again...
For many more hours his dreams were filled with similar visions. Visions of his friends dying in battle etc. etc. He lost count of how many dreams he had. After so many he felt he was loosing his sense of reality; when the finally one came...
This one showed Humphrey lying in a hospital bed. Much like the one from his nightmare; only this time Kate was lying beside him. She appeared to be sleeping peacefully; but her fur suggested she had been crying the whole time. He felt himself on the verge of tears. He loved Kate and didn't want her to cry anymore. Not over himself. He leaned down and whispered "I love you..."
However what surprised him was her shooting straight up and looking at him in the hospital bed. She then, while wide eyed, stuttered out "H-Humphrey?..."
He looked at his body before deciding to test something. He said "Kate..." sure enough his mouth moved same time in the same fashion as he did. Kate nearly fell over going to his side. She started to cry even more now...
Everything faded to black again as he heard a voice... "Humphrey... please wake up... please, please, please... just wake up... please..."
Everything flashed white and Humphrey sat up. His eyes bulging. He had been crying from the voice. He never wanted anyone to feel bad over him. That's just the kind of guy he was. Before he could do anything else he felt himself tackled into a hug. He also felt a face nuzzle into his chest wetting it with tears. He looked down and noticed it was Kate. Sure enough he was in a hospital like the dream. He muttered "... Kate?..."
To which she responded Hugging him more tightly. "...Humphrey..."
Humphrey stared before thinking "What the Fuck..." He slightly pulled Kate away from his chest only to have her come back and kiss him. After the quick kiss she hugged him so the her head was on his shoulder and his on hers. She was still leaning over the bed hugging him when the finally pulled away. Kate had on a black, long sleeve, leather jacket a red under shirt, and black leather pants that fit her like jeans would. She looked perfect in Humphrey's eyes. Well... almost perfect. She, beside her clothes, was a mess; but then again Humphrey didn't look to good either. Being in bed for-
"Kate?"
"Yes, Humphrey?
"How long was I out?"
"About 16 days."
"WHAT?! Sixteen days?!" Shouted Humphrey.
"Yeah... I took some time off from work to be here with you. I'm off for the next month and a half while you recover." Said Kate. She added the last part happily.
"Oh... okay... Wait... Why so long?"
"well my dad and Colonel East believe since you're an Omega it'll take longer... but I'm not exactly complaining." She smiled and hugged Humphrey again.
"Soooo... What I miss?"
"You're in for a long story..."
