SITTING on a bench, outside the contaminated zone, Greg Mitchell sighed and rubbed his temples. He had discarded the hazmat suit he had worn for the mission and was now sorting out his thoughts. The mission had been a partial success and as he looked around, he saw his sister making a report to their father, who had arrived not long ago.
The General took the information well... til he stormed over to where the single captured terrorist was being loaded into a van and with one punch, knocked the person to the ground. Craig and Miles jumped in and held the General back, who screamed at the now unconscious person on the ground, as Police officers grabbed him and hauled him into the back of a van.
Watching them, he sighed and leaned back onto the bench. The mission had started out with the team wearing hazmat suits and boarding a helicopter for a aerial insertion...
Flashback Begins
Time - 1155 Zulu
Location - Bartlett College, Parking Lot
A Blackhawk helicopter sat on the parking lot, the pilot and copilot clad in protective clothing, as the rotors spun above. Craig muttered a curse as he adjusted the pouch which held his bulletproof shields around to his side.
"Damn terrorist bastards! Using something like a chemical attack, making it difficult for us due to wearing these damn suits!"
Miles nodded, as he adjusted the pouch with his roll on armor barriers to the small of his back.
"I hear you Craig. Still, it's either wear these rubberized condom suits or end up like the others who..."
Both men looked over to where numerous bodies had been decontaminated and were in bodybags. Pulling the enclosed hood over her head, Meghan grimaced.
"I hate wearing these things. Just feels... weird."
Jordan sighed as he checked his assault rifle again.
"Gonna have to be careful when changing mags... don't want to get a breach in these things and wind up like those poor bastards."
The four operators turned and looked at the numerous bodybags, stacked neatly on each other and off to the side. Eliza, Greg and Sara walked up, already clad in their hazmat suits. The redhead stepped forward while the twins rechecked their weapons.
"All right team, air insertion in ten mikes. Grab your gear and get stowed on the helo." she looked at the elder Mitchell twin "Remember, my team and I do this for a living. Make sure you and your sister keep up, keep your heads down and you'll make it out alive."
Sara saw her brother's posture stiffen at being told what to do, but he just nodded and headed towards the helo with the others. She glanced at Eliza, her hand on the other women's shoulder.
"We have our mission to do Ash. We won't fall behind." she headed towards the helo, leaving the other woman wearing a frown.
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
Meghan stepped up next to Eliza.
"Don't worry... they are capable soldiers in the field, they won't cause trouble."
With a nod, both women headed towards the helo, the spinning rotors causing a backdraft to wash over them.
"I hope so Meghan, I hope so."
Line Break
The team was silent for the short trip from outside the campus grounds towards their destination. The pilot looked back at them and gave the thumb's up and spoke in a German accent.
"Over the DZ Ash."
As Blackbeard and Castle opened the side doors, Ash nodded to the pilot.
"Thanks for the ride Jäger. Tell Doc, to have the EMT's on standby, just in case."
Jäger nodded as he looked back over the controls.
"You got it."
Blackbeard was grinning behind the mask of his suit as he pushed off from the lip of the helicopter and disappeared into the yellow smoke below. Castle was next on the other side of the craft, as Valkyrie and Thermite hooked up onto the ropes. With a nod from Ash, the two operators pushed off and slid down the ropes, disappearing into the smoke. Ash looked at the other two, code-named 'Devil' and 'Red Back' and nodded to them.
Devil hooked up and disappeared into the smoke as did Red Back, leaving Ash alone in the helo with Jäger. As she hooked up, Jäger looked back at her.
"Hey Ash... Good luck down there with the FNG's."
She nodded, then launched herself away from the helo, plunging into the yellow smoke. Sliding down, she could barely see a few feet in front of her, as the smoke was so thick. Bracing herself for the approaching ground, she landed with her weapon drawn, as her team assembled on her with their own weapons drawn and scanning the smoke. The ropes were pulled back into the help by the automatic winch, as Jäger brought the craft out of the hot zone.
"Squad, sound off."
"Castle, clear."
"Blackbeard, locked and loaded."
"Thermite, primed."
"Valkyrie, on guard."
"Red Back, ready."
Ash waited for the final member... and received nothing over the mic. Growling softly, she was about to repeat herself, when they spoke.
"Devil here. Enemy got too close and had to silence them quickly without giving away our position." he paused "Best be careful from here on out."
The two ex Navy SEALS grinned behind their masks, with Ash turning her attention ahead of them.
"We move as a unit and work as a team. Sweep the first floor quietly and eliminate all targets quickly. Once clear, we move up to the second and repeat. Keep an eye out for any hostages and if found, move to a secure location." she looked at Castle "Once the first floor is clear, find a safe room and secure it. Any hostages found, will be brought to you. Valkyrie, place a black eye in a central location of the ground floor and stick with Castle, understood?"
The two operators nodded, as the others looked at her.
"Thermite, you and Blackbeard..."
Red Back's voice called up quietly, but urgent over the mics.
"Hold fast. Enemy patrol ten meters out, four members and heading this way." there was a pause "Got to admit, these thermal scopes work pretty well. Remind me to thank that Russian sniper friend of yours Devil."
With the new info, Ash looked at her team.
"Cut the chatter Red Back and fall to a over watch position. You're our guardian angel."
"Affirmative."
"The rest of you, get low and ready."
Crouching behind a rubbish bin, Thermite held his assault rifle ready, resting the barrel on top of said bin. Nearby, lying prone on the ground, Blackbeard was grinning behind his mask as he fitted one of his bulletproof shields onto his own assault rifle. Castle and Valkyrie, their own SMG's drawn, were behind two nearby trees standing ready. Behind a nearby, bullet ridden Police car, Ash knelt with her carbine drawn, glancing over the hood. She had gotten confirmation from the others, except Devil. Muttering under her breath, she listened as Red Back called out the enemies position from her over watch position.
"Five meters out... hold."
The team paused, as the seconds seemed to stretch out for ages... and then Devil's voice came through.
"... Hostiles pacified."
The team approached and saw the four bodies on the ground, throats slashed and blood pooling around the bodies. Anger in her eyes, Ash faced Devil.
"What part of 'working as a team' don't you understand?!"
Devil kept his gaze on her, his knife back in it's holster.
"I eliminated the hostiles, before they could close in on our position. I also, overheard this one," he kicked the body of the only hostile on their back "Comment that the hostages are in the glasshouse assembly area, guarded by a bomber and two others. I recommend droning to confirm before attempting to enter."
Reluctantly, Ash nodded and looked at Valkyrie and Castle.
"Do it."
The two operators knelt and removed for a pouch on their hips, a cylindrical device with a wheel on either end. Placing it on the ground, the two looked at their tablet devices and the drones sped off towards the building, effortlessly sliding under the barricade on the front entrance. Speeding down the smoke filled halls, the two operators marked any enemy they came across, the marks appearing on the tablets of the others who were monitoring the feed.
The sound of gunfire was heard over the small mic in each operator's tablet. With a glance from Ash, Thermite's drone slid under another barricade... a grimace appeared on his face as he looked away from the small screen.
"Found... Found the hostages..."
Pressing the glowing button on her tablet, Ash's face was tight as she saw what the drone was sending back to them. Bodies littered the room, some contorted in agony from whatever the gas did to them while others were riddled with bullets. A bomber and two gun toting terrorists, whose gun's were smoking from recent activity, stood on the other side of the barricade with the latter two laughing to themselves.
Blackbeard muttered to himself as he gripped his weapon tightly.
"Don't care what you say Ash, those three deserve to be put in the ground."
While the other operators were talking, Valkyrie brought her drone around a corner and down a short corridor, zipping under a barricade into the kitchen where she gasped. Devil looked at her, then switched the view on his tablet to hers.
"Ok... that's impressive... " he studied the screen "Looks like a garage kit, exposed wiring, primary casing has corroded... While these guys may not be amateurs with this gas, they are amateurs when it comes to bomb design."
Thermite looked at his screen and studied the bomb as well, before nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, very amateurish. Looks like..." he managed to zoom the feed in closer "Honestly, most of the stuff used in the construction was most likely found at a rubbish dump."
Valkyrie turned her drone to the side and quickly brought it under a cabinet as a roaming terrorist stomped past the bomb, the audible clicking of the safety on their weapon being switched on and off came over the mics. She looked over at Ash.
"Judging from what we've seen, looks like they're prepared for us."
Nodding slowly, Ash switched the display of her tablet to show a floorplan of the building.
"Alright, we've got the location of one bomb, side kitchen on the ground floor. Thermite, Valkyrie, drone the rest of the building and find the second."
Castle looked up at the building.
"I'm betting it's somewhere on the second floor Ash." he looked at her "Probably in on of the front rooms up there, one heavily barricaded I'd say."
Valkyrie spoke quickly, her drone having ascended to the second floor, zipping down the smoked filled corridors. She mentally counted off the terrorists her drone slipped past, until it entered a room with more smoke filling it. Resting up against a nearby podium, she smiled.
"Found it. As Castle said, second floor and the room to the right." she chuckled "Directly above the library."
Ash looked at the floorplan, thinking to herself.
"Ok... we have multiple avenues to proceed. Frontal assault, which'll bring them all to us or we play this smart." she made a few quick motions on the tablet's surface "There's seven of us here, so we'll traverse the outside of the building and come up to the kitchen. Judging from the scans, there are three windows. Two facing the alley and one facing the front. Blackbeard and Thermite, head over to the far side of the building and cause a distraction, but don't get reckless. Go. While the enemy is focused on the two of you, the rest of us will breach the alley windows and enter the kitchen."
Blackbeard and Thermite nodded and disappeared into the smoke, as Red Back spoke up.
"I took the liberty of taking two claymores from the van, can place them in the two corridors leading to the kitchen as a surprise for them."
Ash frowned slightly.
"We're to limit our use of destructive force... this is a institute of learning and will be again once we've done our job."
Thermite and Blackbeard had made their way to their target, both readying their weapons as they heard Ash over their mics. With a dry snort, Thermite looked over to Blackbeard.
"... no destructive force..."
He nodded, a sly grin on his face.
"Well buddy, you and I are known for being... 'subtle'..."
Both men hefted their rifles and clinked the barrels against each other. Ash and the others had made their way quickly to the alley, Devil looking at the barricaded window, as he drew a slim knife from it's holster on his belt. Receiving a nod from Ash, he managed to pry part of the barricade aside, allowing Valkyrie to slide one of her Black Eye cameras into the room. Kneeling by the side of the wall, she looked at her tablet, as the view from her Black Eye came on screen.
"Three hostiles, one near the bomb and the other two near the East corridor entrance."
Ash placed the barrel of her rifle against the window sill, the silencer sliding through the opening Devil had made. Fortunately, the opening did allow her to look through the ACOG sight on her weapon, the crosshairs pinpointed on the head of the terrorist near the bomb.
"Castle?"
The other FBI SWAT member, had sent his drone in through one of the nearby vents and had it near the end of the corridor. With practiced controls, he sent the drone zooming down the hall, right into the foot of one of the terrorists. A cry of annoyance, the man looked down at the drone, which turned and zoomed away, the smoke obscuring it from the man's vision. He raised his weapon and fired a few shots, causing his companion to glare at him.
"What the Hell man?"
The first man held his gun in front of him and stepped down the corridor, the other man with him. Outside, Castle grinned and nodded to Ash, who gently pulled the trigger. A single silenced shot escaped the weapon and entered the terrorists head, sending the body to the ground. Removing her weapon, she watched as Devil pulled the barricade down and slipped through the window effortlessly, Valkyrie being the next.
Both operators moved to the doorway the two hostiles had gone down, aiming their weapons into the smoke as Red Back and Castle made their way to the other corridor, the same posture as the other two operators. Ash knelt behind the counter near the bomb and drew the diffuser from the pouch by her leg. Placing it on the ground, she opened it and then spoke into the mic.
"Blackbeard, Thermite... can't believe I'm going to say this but..." she sighed "Do what you do best."
On the other side of the building, both operators grinned and removed the silencers from their rifles.
"Ready Blackbeard?"
Grinning as he placed one of his bulletproof shields on his rifle, faced the barricaded window and pulled the trigger. The automatic gunfire tore through the barricade and two hostiles who were walking along the hallway, their cries adding to the noise which drew the attention of nearby hostiles, who cried into their radios for assistance.
Hearing the commotion, Ash punched a few buttons into the console, which them started to flash as it worked it's magic to disarm the nearby bomb. She looked at the others and nodded to them.
Red Back and Castle looked at each other, the latter giving the former a nod, who crept forward about five meters and placed her claymore down, the face facing down the corridor where the sound of approaching hostiles could be heard. Making her way back to the kitchen, she pressed herself up against the wall as Castle aimed down the corridor with his SMG.
Devil and Valkyrie had their weapons trained down the hallway as Ash moved to where she could fire down both corridors, if needed. The sound of Blackbeard and Thermite's weapons could be heard from the other side of the building, along with the cries of the terrorists.
At the end of the South corridor, three terrorists came running down the hall, right into the weapon fire from Devil, Valkyrie and Ash's weapons. The diffuser announced another forty five seconds needed to complete diffusion of the current bomb. Castle and Red Back looked down the corridor they were guarding and saw dark shapes approach through the smoke, only to hear screams as the claymore exploded. The room shook from the force of the explosion, drawing Ash's attention away from the gunfight Devil and Valkyrie were in, towards Red Back and Castle.
"Claymore?"
Red Back grinned.
"You want results, you get results."
Hearing her comment over the mic, Blackbeard laughed as he leaned against the wall as automatic weaponfire flew past him.
"Thermite! We got another maniac like you!"
Grinning Thermite was lying prone on the ground, firing into the kneecaps of the group of terrorists, as Blackbeard leaned around and opened fire on the downed opponents.
"Gotta love big boom!"
Back in the kitchen, the diffuser counted down the final five seconds and then shut down with the bomb disarmed nearby. Closing and picking up the device, Ash made her way back to the window and rappelled up to the roof. Castle nodded to Red Back, who placed her last claymore at the entrance and backed away while he stood and rolled down one of his armor panels and blocked the entrance. Both operatives headed over to the window and rappelled up to the roof. Devil looked at Valkyrie.
"Go, I'll cover you."
Valkyire gave him a look, before she headed over to the window and climbed out. But instead of climbing up, she angled her weapon and looked back down the hallway. Firing another volley into the smoke, Devil turned and slid over the counter, before running up to the window. Climbing out, he threw his rope up and headed up the wall alongside the other operative.
Climbing on to the roof, they looked over at Ash and the others, who nodded and the group quickly traversed over the roof top. Coming up the front of the building, the group knelt down as Ash looked at her tablet. Her drone quickly running through the hallways and climbing up the stairs, while Blackbeard and Thermite had to retreat outside of the building and behind a nearby wall. A loud explosion rang out, as Blackbeard looked at Thermite.
"Nice placement of your claymore."
Grinning as he reloaded his rifle, Thermite nodded. Both operatives gave a short laugh and turned leaned over the top of the wall, firing their weapons back into the window as more terrorists tried to get out.
Ash sighed as she heard the explosion and the gunfire and was about to respond when a loud explosion rang out... and Thermite's cry came over the team's mics.
"BLACKBEARD'S DOWN! Damn Bomber charged us and detonated just as Blackbeard leaned around the edge. Doing what I can, but you guys are on your own now."
Nodding, Ash responded quickly.
"Understood, contact Jäger..."
Over their comms, the aforementioned operator spoke up.
"On my way back with local SWAT teams inbound. Two should be approaching Thermite's position shortly. I'll maintain position above the building for extraction."
Ash nodded, just as a explosion sounded from the kitchen, which Red Back and Castle both grinned. Ignoring them, looked back at her drone... as a curse escaped her lips as she saw Devil had already entered and had taken down the four hostiles. Muttering to herself, Ash then rappelled down and entered the room, joined shortly later by Red Back, Castle and Valkyrie. Spying the nearby opened ammo crate, Red Back looked in and grabbed the six claymores inside and then headed down the nearby corridor and placed them at intervals.
Ash handed the diffuser to Valkyrie and then walked up to Devil, grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around to glare at him.
"We do things as a TEAM Devil! RAINBOW is NOT like the Rangers! We don't get our teammates killed by... delusions of grandeur and have to rely on others to save our asses!"
Valkyrie and Red Back, who had just re-entered the room, looked at the two.. while Castle barricaded the small hallway to the side with one of his remaining armor panels. Devil's posture had stiffened considerably under Ash's verbal barrage. When she had finished, he gave her a cold look.
"If you are finished, we still have a job to do. After we have finished, I'll be sure to discuss proper mission etiquette."
Turning on his heel, he stalked off into the smoke while Ash muttered under her breath. She looked over at the others and nodded to Valkyrie, who set the diffuser. As it counted down, Valkyrie and Castle were looking on their drones... finding dead bodies of hostiles in pools of blood. Red Back walked up to Ash, both deploying their drones out the window and watching as a group of terrorists were approaching, only to be cut down by the local SWAT teams, who were encamped outside the building.
The only sound heard, with the diffuser's mechanical voice counting down and then... quiet as it announced it had successfully diffused the final bomb. Packing up the device, Ash looked at the others and nodded, as the team was about to leave... when Devil's voice came over the mics.
"Found another. Fitted with a deadman's switch." a pause "Found the leader of these... hostiles. Keeping him talking til you get up here. Top floor."
The team moved silently and quickly towards the staircase, Valkyrie nodding as they moved past the bodies of the enemy on the ground.
"Still as efficient as back in Kabul."
Red Back nodded as they moved up the staircase. Ash leaned around the doorway, eyes narrowed as she saw the third bomb, with Devil and a terrorist standing in front of it. Aiming through her ACOG, she watched the scene before her carefully. Moving her weapon slightly, she stared down the remaining terrorist, as the other three operatives did the same.
Devil stared down the last hostile, raising his hand to stall his biblical rant.
"Forgive me, but I've heard this rhetoric before. What makes you and your ilk any different from all those that have come before?"
The man frowned behind his mask, in his right hand he grasped the detonator tightly.
"You are just like all the other unwashed. Deluded by what those currently in power would have you believe. The world is fast approaching a flashpoint and only those who are prepared, truly prepared... will survive. All of these here... they are the ones which are the heralds, the martyrs for what we, the WHITE MASKS will achieve. We will bring those who are corrupt to their knees! We are the ones who bring the truth to the unwashed! We..."
A flash of silver and the man screamed, his left hand clutching the stump where his right hand used to be. Ash gasped, as she saw Devil standing still, in his right hand was his drawn blade and in his other... the severed hand of the terrorist, still clutching the detonator tightly. He turned and looked at her, as the team stood and approached.
"Mission accomplished, yes?"
Flashback Ends.
Greg Mitchell sighed and rubbed the back of his head. The mission had been accomplished, but the cost was high. He had failed to protect his little sister, indeed he had been the one to carry her body out of the contaminated zone and placed her in a body bag. He knew the General would be upset and he was right as he watched his sister try to reason with him.
He also noticed a woman of African-American descent, talking with the team he and his sister had joined for this mission. Shaking his head, he looked up and saw the General and his sister approaching them. Standing on his feet, he studied the emotion clad face of his father, struggling to keep the emotions raging through him in check.
"You failed in your mission Commander."
Frowning, Greg saw the grief in the older man's face.
"I carried out the mission to the letter, General. The VIP was deceased before..."
The General's fist lashed out, striking his son in the jaw and sent the younger man down to one knee. Sara got between her father and her brother, her own grief over the loss of her younger sibling coming across visibly to those around. Greg got to his feet and looked hard at his father's grief-stricken face.
"I completed the mission, Sir."
With that said, he saluted his father, then turned and walked away. Unknown to him, the team from RAINBOW, were watching the scene before them. Jäger looked at the woman with them.
"He's one of the ones we need?"
The woman nodded as the General and Sara approached them. She faced them, nodding to them both.
"General, Lieutenant, my condolences for your loss."
The General was silent, while Sara looked at the woman carefully.
"On behalf of my father and myself, thank you Miss...?"
The woman smiled at Sara.
"You can call me Six, Red Back." she looked at the General, who in turned looked to the Lieutenant.
"As of this moment, Lieutenant Sara Mitchell, Call-sign Red Back, you are now assigned under the command of 'Six' and Team RAINBOW. Effective immediately." he looked closely at his daughter "You... and your brother."
With that said, General Scott Mitchell turned and walked off towards the other units nearby, as Sara mentally processed what had just happened. Six walked up to the woman, putting her hand on Sara's shoulder.
"I understand this is hard for you... But you and your brother are needed, your knowledge and skillset."
Sara sighed, running a hand through her hair.
"This... this is all just... just going so fast." She looked at the woman "... I know I have my duty, it won't affect my future performance."
Six smiled at the woman, as the rest of Team RAINBOW nearby watched. Blackbeard, who had joined the others with Doc, looked around and then asked a question.
"So... who's gonna tell Devil?"
Six looked over at a certain operator, who sighed and rolled their eyes.
"Me? Why me?"
A wolfish grin appeared on Six's face.
"Why not? Be at the airfield by 2200, we leave for England then."

Deaths-Head : Sorry for the late delay in posting. Been trying the last few weeks to get Article 5 completed... and end up getting randoms in my unit who are... well, beyond noobish to say the least. So decided to watch a few playthroughs on youtube and then used my own imagination to come up with my own version of the mission. Just hope I did ok with what's written above as I know it's not the mission 100%. I'm working, well... planning up the next chapter which'll have the arrival in England and meeting with the rest of Team RAINBOW. Hope you've enjoyed what's come so far. Also edited the last chapter with the Operation name, changed from 'Revelation' to 'Article 5'.
Any opinions, criticisms etc... more than welcome to share. Just no abusive ones thanks.
