Ch 2

John and shamrock just made it off the runway as the first of the
bombs hit the base.

Johns COM blared in his helmet has he heard shamrock say "crap man if
we were just a few seconds late we would have been dead."

"alright shamrock enough talking about that! we got company! 3 Su-47's at
our 2 o'clock!"

"Roger that I see'm. I think we got the element of surprise. I don't
think they know we got birds in the air."

"Alight shamrock well pick them off with sidewinder missiles." John
hoped that they would keep the element of
Surprise because they were outnumbered.

John then locked on to one of the su-47s and called to shamrock " I
got a lock on the first one"
Shamrock replied "I got a lock on the second" "open fire" he replied.

The sidewinder missiles streaked towards their targets and destroyed
them with tremendous accuracy. The other enemy jet had no idea what had
happened and its pilot hesitated. This gave John the time to get
another lock. He fired another sidewinder missile that destroyed its
target with in seconds.

"Man that kill was mine john! Give me a break and let me in on the
action!" shamrock yelled into his mic..

John chuckled to himself "act, never hesitate shamrock and you will
prosper."

Just then john crackled to life as a deep and old raspy voice could be
heard. "This is general Westinbocker to all available planes dose
anyone read me?"

John replied, "This is LT. Felix of saber squadron reporting in."

"LT? I am sending coordinates to you on secure line bravo; you need to
get to these coordinates ASAP. We need you to escort a transport plane
that is carrying a very important package onboard. That package is far
more valuable than your lives so protect it at all costs. If you
succeed in this mission it could mean the end of the war."

John couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Sir end the war?"

"That is correct LT. that is why we must succeed in this mission.
Westinbocker out.." the COM went dead.

John couldn't believe it. He needed to get to that transport now.

" Ok shamrock you heard the general let's get to that transport."

They both let lose on their afterburners and accelerated to the
transports location...

Sgt Blair troop never thought that his team would be involved in such
an important mission. Their mission was to protect this 'package' that
he had no idea what it was. But whatever it was it was big and it went
all the way to the pentagon. The general had said that in the event of
the transport having to crash land him and his team would need to
bailout with the package. They would then need to secure an LZ for his
team and the package to get extracted.

Blair didn't like it. The thought of being behind enemy lines sounded
like a suicide mission. But they were marines, it was there job to do
the impossible...

Deep inside a mountain somewhere in the united states general
westinbocker was stressing over the mission he had just ordered. He
was informed that an American satellite was downed that contained
valuable information. It was a new alternative fuel source that was
found in carbon bonds. But the Russians think that it was Intel on
their tank positions in the Rocky Mountains. So they wanted that
information destroyed at costs.

The general knew it was a suicide mission but someone had to do it..

Earlier today...

Captain Amelia Smith was sitting in the lounge at the airbase in North
Dakota. It was a makeshift base that was formed to transport troops to
the front lines. This was the home of her wing of c-130
transport planes.

Amelia thought back on the day she left flight school. She had been
crushed when John just said goodbye to her. She thought he really
cared for her. But after the way he said goodbye to her she realized
that he just wanted to be friends. So he just became a forgotten
memory just like the rest of her life.

Just then her train of thought was broken when her commanding officer
walked in the room. "Captain smith we have new tasking orders for you.
A group of marines need to be transported to Washington ASAP. They are
carrying an important package that needs to make it there in one piece."

Amelia thought 'what could be so important that it need to be guarded
by a group of marines?' but that wasn't any of her business so she
put no thought into it.

"When do we leave?"

"The marines are loading on your plane as we speak, we need you ready
now" the CO responded.

"Ok sir we will be ready ASAP" Amelia said as the CO walked out of
the room.

Amelia slipped into her flight suit and met up with her co-pilot Alan
Rodregess, a Hispanic man in his early 20's. "I don't know Amelia, this
mission seems loco to me."
Alan said as they did their pre-flight check in the cot pit.

"Just do your job Alan and we can all go home safe and sound," Amelia
said as she glared at him.

Before Alan could reply their radio crackled to life. "Smokey one you
are cleared for takeoff on runway 4 9'er. Good luck."

Amelia then throttled up and moved the c-130 down the airstrip to the
end of the runway.

Amelia looked over to Alan who had a worried look on his face and said,
"relax Alan this will just be like any other mission."

Alan still looked worried "whatever you say Amelia" he said in a quiet
voice as they began to accelerate down the runway.

"Shamrock, be on the lookout for that transport" John said as he eased
back on the throttle.

"Hey I think I see it! 12 o'clock high."

And sure enough he was right, there was the transport plane. John spoke
into his mic as he called out to the c-130 "this is LT. Felix of saber
squadron to c-130 transport aircraft come in over?"

There was noting for a moment but then his radio crackled to life
again...
"This is captain Smith, we read you loud and clear we need you to form
up on our flanks. Think you can handle that" a female voice said
playfully.

John heard the females voice and was surprised. Her voice sounded so
familiar and couldn't help but stutter "uh...roger...sir...I mean
ma'm... Forming up on your flanks."

"Hey. Saber one is your COM ok? Or were you just stuttering?" she said
with a sense of humor.

John hesitated to answer "I don't know...I mean... yes ma'm it was my
COM...I'll see it gets fixed...when we get back to base."

"Let's hope it doesn't interfere with the mission" shamrock butted in
with a chuckle.

John froze... 'Wait a minute! I have heard that voice before! Could it
be?'

"Amelia?"

Amelia face was full of confusion. 'How did this guy know her name?'
she thought. She only gave him her last name and her rank but not her
first...wait...it can't be'

"John?"

Just then Shamrocks voice blasted into his radio "heads up! We got
company! 5 bogies on the radar! Looks like 3 mig 37's and 2 su-47's!"

"Great that's way more than what we can handle" John said over the com.
"Shamrock arm your XMS long rang missiles and get a lock on those migs!"

John's computer then started beeping "warning missile lock, missile lock"

"shamrock pop flares and engage at will!!" John then fired his XMS
missiles at the migs and than banked hard to the left releasing his
flares.

The Russian missiles barely missed John's right wing as they flew by
at tremendous speeds.

Shamrock wasn't so lucky... He got clipped in the tail wing and was
struggling to regain control. "Ah! Damn it! I'm hit I'm hit!" he yelled
into his mic.

"Shamrock are you ok?"

"I can't...going...mayday...can't...!" then the COM went dead
as John could see his f-22 break in half and fall to earth.

John cursed under his breath but then his attention was turned to
Amelia's c-130. "John they got a lock on me!" Amelia screamed into
the mic.

Just then john saw the two remaining su-47's fire a missile each
at Amelia's plane... Time seemed to slow as he saw the two missiles
streak towards their target. John desperately tried to think of something
to do. But he couldn't stop the missiles from hitting there targets...

Then a voice was heard in his head as he remembered what the general
said...

'that transport is worth more than your lives protect it all costs...'

He then realized what he needed to do... Most pilots would think it
was crazy but it had to be done.

He pulled right up in front of the c-130 and got a lock on both of the
su-47's.

Amelia was screaming at him " what are you doing!? You will get hit
by the missiles!!"

"Exactly.." John said very dryly but with a touch of concern.

Just before the first missile was about to hit, John fired every
missile that he had at the su-47's. Just as the missiles were off the
first Russian missile hit John's f-22. This knocked johns plane into a
downward tailspin. Amelia was now screaming into the mic.

A monument later the second missile struck the c-130 in the wing
causing it to slowly descend down to earth.

Amelia, not caring that her own plane was falling as well, could only
watch in horror as John's fighter quickly dived towards earth. But then
she snapped back to her situation as she heard Alan yelling, "go! Lower
the ramp in the back and help the marines make the jump! I'll hold the
plane steady!"

"You better be right behind me!" she said with a concerned look on her
face.

"I'll be fine now go!" he said with a smile. But Alan new he wasn't
getting out of this one alive. Amelia then turned and walked into the
c-130's bay...

Sgt. Blair was startled from his nap as he felt the plane jerk
violently and start to descent. Moments later the plane started to
slow its descent but started to shake.

Just then a female pilot came out of the cot pit and grabbed a
Para shoot. She walked over to them and said "Sergeant we got to make
the jump. Where is the package?"

The Sergeant then put his hand over a metal case. "Its safe with me" he
said

"well its not going to be safe for long if we don't get the hell off
this plane." she retorted.

"Good point" he then looked over to his team and said "team were
getting off this plane the hard way! Now strap on your shout and kiss
your ass goodbye! It's going to be a long day!" They all lined up at
the back of the plane and got ready to jump.

Just then the plane rocked violently and then started to spin.
Everyone was immediately tossed out of the plane and into the sky...

John was fighting to regain control over his plane. After a moment he
realized that he lost control of his plane and reached secure his
firearm and survival kit. He then looked up at the migs and saw that
one was still alive.

John watched in horror as it fired another missile at the c-130. The
missile hit the transport plane in the wing again. This sent it into a
spiraling freefall.

But then a light shined in john's heart as he saw people falling out
of the bay and opening their parachutes. 'Please god let one of those
shouts be Amelia's' John thought as he pulled his ejection cord sending
him flying out of his plane...

Amelia woke up in a grassy plain still attached to her shout. 'I must
have passed out when I hit the ground' 'but how long was I out?' she
thought. She tried to get up but then felt an extreme pain in her leg.
'Great' she thought 'a broken leg'.

Then she remembered the events that happened earlier. Alan... the
marines... and... John... She began to cry as warm tears flowed down
her cheeks. She really hoped he was ok.

Just then she heard movement to her left. She drew her pistol and
pointed it at what was walking her way. She prayed to god that it
wasn't Russian soldiers.

But of nowhere a hand grabbed he pistol and pulled it from her grip.
She then felt a boot kick her in the gut. She heard deep laughter as
she was kicked in the back by another boot. She looked up to see two
Russian soldiers snickering and looking at her womanly body features.

One of the Russians bent over her and said with a heavy Russian accent
"u pretty American girl. Me make love to you now."

Amelia screamed as the Russian started to rip her flight suit off. Just
as he was about to take off her bra the Russian stopped and looked up.
A pilot then ran up to him and kicked him square in the face knocking
him out instantly. The other soldier was surprised to see this and
reached for his gun but was to slow. The pilot lunged and tackled the
soldier. The soldier then pulled out a knife out of his belt. The
pilot then pushed the soldier off of him and drew his pistol and
fired. The Russian soldier then fell to the floor dead with a hole in
his head.

The pilot then got up and looked over to Amelia.

"John?"

"Amelia!"

John ran over and hugged her tightly. Amelia then let out a cry of pain
and grabbed her leg. "Amelia! Your hurt! I'm so sorry!"

"Don't be John you just saved me!" she said as she berried her face
into his chest crying.

" I would never let them hurt you Amelia" John said as he broke their
embrace. "What hurts right now?"

She then looked back up at him and said "its my leg, I think its
broken."

John looked down at her leg and saw a bone sticking out a good inch.
John cringed when he saw it. Amelia looked at him with concerned face
"what is it?"

"Nothing, its fine" John lied. She needed to get her leg patched up or
it would get infected.

"John what you did up there... I thought I was really brave of you..."
she said in an innocent voice.

This made john blush. He said " well...I...uh...thanks... I guess."

Suddenly the tall grass started to move and john drew his pistol. But
he soon lowered it to see the group of Marines walk out.

"John? Is that you man?" one of the marines asked as he walked up.
John looked at him and realizes it was his old friend Blair Troop!

"Blair! Dude it's been a long time man!" John said as he greeted him.

"Alright man we need to get out of here before more commies show up."
Blair said as he pulled out his m16 assault rifle.

"Right but I we got a problem. CPT Smith is injured and needs medical
attention soon."

Blair looked over to see her laying on her back behind him. "Your
right, Harry, get over here" just then one of the men from Blair's team
walked over. He pulled out his med kit and stared rapping Amelia's leg
up.

Blair then looked back over to John. "I spotted a town not far from
here. We need to get there before dark. When we get there we will wait
until morning then we can activate our rescue beacon." he said as
Harry finished up wrapping Amelia's leg.

John helped her up and said "well we better get going before it gets
dark"

They all agreed and started heading towards the direction of the town.
John allowed Amelia to use him as a support for walking.

Hours later

the sun was just now setting when they were just getting to the town.
It was in ruin, windows broken and doors kicked in every. The streets
were filled with trash and abandoned cars.

Amelia then looked up at John and asked "what do you think happened
her?" John replied, "I don't know, it looks abandoned."

Amelia then asked with a curios look on her face "John do you
remember flight school?" John hesitantly said "ya..Why?"

"Well that was the last time we saw each other, 8 years I think it's
been. You know I really missed you John..."

But before John could reply hundreds of people jumped out everywhere,
guns pointed at the group. Blair's team then crouched and tried to find
a target but there were to many.

After a long stare down a lone female walked towards them. She was very
attractive and looked to be in her later 20's. She was wearing a
Russian soldiers uniform. John stared at her for a while checking out
her goddess-like body. 'Wow she's... wow' John thought.

"Are you Russians?" the women said. John was broke from his gaze when
Blair said "no. Are you?"

The woman then lowered her weapon on gave out a whistle. Suddenly the
people around them lowered their weapons.

The women then walked up to Blair and held out her hand "my name is
Sarah Jenkins. I am the leader of this rebel group. And you?"

"Sergeant Blair troop, United States marine core. I'm not the highest
ranking officer here but I believe he is right now." Blair pointed
over to John.

Sarah looked over to see John helping Amelia stand up. 'Wow he's a
cutie one' she though to herself. She then walked over and said in a
very seductive voice "well, well flyboy. What brings you to fighting
on the ground?"

John began to blush and stuttered "well..Heh...uh...you
see...um..." just then Amelia busted in and quickly answered, "he
just protected me and my plane in a dogfight that outnumbered him 5 to
1."

Sarah glared at Amelia and was about to respond but John spoke up
"well I was only doing my job Amelia" he said with a smile.

Blair could sense the anger between Amelia and Sarah so he quickly
butted in "hey that's past events we need to worry about getting back
home with the package. Sarah do you think you could give us somewhere
for us to stay?"

" I don't think that would be a problem at all...," she said as she
grabbed John's leg. John then jumped out of his shoes. He slyly removed
Sarah's hand and said "uuhh...thanks."

Amelia saw this and couldn't help but think 'that girl is trying to
take john from me?!' 'Who dose she think she is!'

"Ok we should get going before it gets to dark," Blair said, breaking
the silence. "Our HQ is in a resort not far from here. We have running
water and beds for you there." Sarah replied.

The group then walked off down the street. After about 3 miles they
came to a large complex of small 5 story apartments. It was already
dark as Sarah then led them to a building in the middle of the complex.

"This is the building you will be staying in. Blair your team will
have the second floor to sleep in. John, Amelia, and Blair you will
stay on the fourth floor with me and the rest of my commanders. Fallow
me and will show you your rooms." Sarah said as they walked in the
building.

Sarah, Amelia, Blair and John all walked up the stares to the fourth
floor. When they got there they could see a hallway with 6 doors in
it, 3 on each side. "Blair this will be were you stay" Sarah said as
they walked to the first door.

Blair looked in to see a somewhat clean room with one bed and a broken
TV. "It will do. I don't suppose I could get room service as well?" he
said with a smirk.

Sarah then looked at the next room down. " And that will be your room
Amelia" John helped her walk over to the door and opened it. The room
was just like Blair's but it had a table instead of a TV. Amelia looked
up at john with a smile and said "I think I can make it from here
John, thank you."

John blushed and scratched the back of his head as he said, "ok Amelia
no problem. Just let me know if you need anything."

Amelia replied, "Ok john I will. Good night." he then closed her door
and walked with Sarah down the hall.

"And this... Is were you will be staying John." Sarah said as she
opened the next door. John walked in to see stuff everywhere in the
room. 'It looks like someone else is staying here' John thought.

"But Sarah it looks like someone is already staying here?" John said
as he looked around. "Yes someone dose." she said back in a quiet voice.

John looked around the room again and saw Sarah make herself
comfortable. "Wait... This is your room?"

"Yes... Yes it is," she said with a smile. Sarah then slowly walked
over to the bed. "Come sit with me John.."

" Wait a minute. I can't sleep in the same room as you!" John said
slowly walking backwards. Sarah then got up and said "now why not
John? I would love your company in bed tonight..." John then backed
into the wall and said "hey... I just can't sleep with you! I don't
even know you that well!"

Sarah then was right in front of him. "Well then let's start with
this..." she then kissed John on the lips slowly. John was shocked and
didn't know what to do. He tried to end the kiss softly but every time
he resisted Sarah tightened her grip on him. John finely had to shove
her off of him as he gasped for air.

John had lost his cool with her now. "Sarah I said no! Now get off
me!" but before he could leave the room Sarah tackled him and landed
on top of him. She then grabbed Johns family jewels and said "you just
don't get it do ya john..? I never take no for and answer... Now if you
plan on having kids than I suggest you not resist."

John had a very scared look on his face now. He was completely
helpless. He had no idea what to do. 'No I can't do this' he thought
to himself 'what would Amelia think?'

But just as John thought the situation could get worse... He heard
someone at the door...

"john..."

He then looked to see Amelia standing in the door way in tears.
"John... I... But... Why...?"

"Amelia! It's not what you think! She was..." John was cut off by
Sarah "I was just about to give him what he merely disserves... A real
woman that he could love not some ugly skank like you!"

Amelia continued sobbing and looked over at john and said "john... I
thought you cared for me?" "I do Amelia! Its just that..." He was cut
off again by Sarah "he loves me more now...". John quickly said "no I
d-aaahh!!" he was cut as Sarah squeezed harder on Johns balls.

Amelia then realized that John was being held against his will. Her
tears off sorrow then turned into tears of anger.
"Hey get your hands off him! That's hurting him!"

"Aaaww poor Amelia. She knows that she will never get this close to a
man."
That had sent Amelia over the top... She then limped over to Sarah.
Before Sarah could say anything more Amelia slapped Sarah right in the
face.

Sarah then fell off of John and stumbled a few feet. John was still
clutching his balls in pain as Amelia asked, "Are you ok John?"

But before he could reply Sarah got back up and tackled Amelia. They
rolled a few feet before stopping with Sarah on top of Amelia. Sarah
then let lose a barrage of scratches to Amelia everywhere. After about a
minute of her scramming she stop suddenly...

"I would kill you... but I have something better in mind" Sarah then
looked over at John who was recovering a little bit. "You're going to
watch me make love to him." Amelia was in so much pain she couldn't
reply. She could only cry as Sarah slowly made her way over to John.

"If you don't resist this time John I could let Amelia go safely..."
but before she could get to John something hit her in the back of the
head, knocking her out cold.

Behind her was Blair holding a rock in his hand... "Thought you could
use some helps John. You alright?" John struggled to get up and said
"forget me...argh...help Amelia."

Blair looked over to see Amelia crying on the floor with cuts all over
her body. "O my god... Harry! Get over here! Amelia... Who did this?"
Amelia slowly eased her hand up and pointed at Sarah's lip body.
Amelia's vision then blurred as she passed out on the floor...

Later that night...

Amelia awoke in her bed in the middle of the night with bandages all
over her body. She then looked around her and saw that John was
sitting in a chair next to the bed sleeping. 'He's so cute when he is
asleep.' she thought. She then reached over and stroked his hair softy
as he slept. Suddenly John was awoken and he looked over to Amelia.
She quickly retracted her arm as John said "Amelia! Your ok! You
scared me there for a second!" he then leaned over and hugged her. She
then hugged him back and said "I'm glad your ok too John"

They both just sat there for a minute in a loving embrace but Amelia
then broke the hug and said "so.. Where are you...um... going to
sleep now john?" she asked curiously. "Umm... I guess on the couch in
the lobby... why?"

Amelia then blushed lightly and said, "well I was kinda wondering if
you would..Um... sleep with me. I don't want to get nightmares..."

John was redder than a tomato. He then stuttered
"well... I'm... umm...you see... " John was silenced as Amelia put
her finger over his lips. "Please John..." she said with an innocent
look on her face. John looked at her and smiled saying "ok...I will."

John then climbed into bed with her. Amelia then snuggled up agents
John's chest and hugged him. John then looked at her and thought 'she
is so beautiful'.
He then an idea came over him. 'I need to yell her how I feel' he
thought. "Amelia... There is something I need to tell you." but he
looked down to at Amelia and saw that she was sound asleep. John then
looked up with a sad look on his face as he said "I love you
Amelia..."
