Rina, Arthuria and her team of Resistance fighters arrived at Winnipeg International Airport. The fields of Winnipeg were brown; the Nationalists contaminated the ground with high concentrations of acid before pulling back into their territory. The airport was filled with activity; the resistance M1 Abrams tanks were rolling on the tarmac to the road outside the airport, soldiers loading up and charging their Javelin launchers, preparing for another assault. American Navy SEALs that have defected from Nationalist America were training new recruits on advanced tactics on the airport grounds. And for the first time, a black American general in a battlefield outfit, stepped forth and saluted Rina as she descended from the plane.
"Greetings. I'm General Toby Anderson, general of the Resistance. I've heard of your many exploits on the battlefields in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Australia. Now we need your help on taking our once free nation back," said General Toby, putting out a hand for a handshake. Rina shook hands with the general, signalled the her Resistance team to head to the barracks and they walked together, discussing about his next battle plan.
"I should inform you that quite a huge percentage of our country disliked the new President when he began annexing the United Nations. By then, it was too late. He took control of our governmet and put his loyalists in positions of the government. Using his power of fear on the people, he managed to keep the populations under his control, until now. Ever since your armies began taking over Europe and Australia, it gave the people new hope in restoring our once glorious and wealthy nation. We have many defectors who had joined our cause, and are in positions in the military to cause an uprising once we've entered the nothern states," explained Toby in his long speech. Rina listened diligently.
"So where can we begin?" asked Arthuria, with her expressions showing her content with the much warmer weather.
"Well, for a start, one of our informants have been captured since our capture of Winnipeg. The orders of his execution have yet to be passed down from the government. There should be enough time for us to get him outta there. We take care of our friends," said the general in his long speech.
"So where can we find him?" asked Arthuria.
"At Ste Agathe town. Our snipers are in position. The choppers are just behind the terminal," replied Toby, pointing towards the terminal.
"Ok, we'll be going," said Arthuria as she dragged Rina along, having not said a word since her meeting with the general. Afetr dragging her for some time, Rina shook her hand loose from Arthuria's grip.
"Who put you in charge there, Arthuria?" asked Rina, looking a bit angry.
"You weren't even listening, Rina. All you were thinking is Jonsey. He'll be fine, I promise," replied Arthuria.
"But how do you know that I want to go?" shot back Rina, her voice flaring up.
"If you weren't here for Jonsey, you would be at home in Munich," replied Arthuria. Rina stayed silent.
"So, are you coming or what?" asked Arthuria, waiting for her friend to make a move. Rina just smiled and followed Arthuria to the helicopters.
Rina and Arthuria were lying down on the ground, staying low so that Nationalist patrols at the community wouldn't spot them. Two soldiers in ghillie suits crawled to where Rina and Arthuria were lying down. Because they were in camouflage, it wasn't easy for Rina and Arthuria to spot them, thus gave them a fright when they approached behind them.
"Our operative is inside the house on the northeast corner of the village. We'll give you sniper cover when necessary. We also have another team of ghilies from the south. They'll clear the houses there. Just give the order," whispered the sniper. Rina and Arthuria nodded. They both got up to crouching position and walked towards the main road. They ducked when a Nationalist Humvee went past them. When it left, they quickly ran across the road and hid in a vacated house just adjacent to the target building. There was a road block with Nationalist troops guarding it. Rina observed the house and there were more troops guarding each entry in the building.
"All units, commence attack," said Rina through the radio. Gunfire was heard, with shadowy figures appearing from the farm fields, running towards the houses. The ghillies, in groups of three, blasted through each door of every house, clearing out its occupants of Nationalist troops. The Nationalist soldiers guarding the target building was shot down, giving Rina and Arthuria the chance to approach the building. They took out the Nationalist guards at the road block before approaching the house.
"Arthuria, cut the power," said Rina on the radio. Just when Rina was about to reach the door, a ghillie appeared behind her and tapped her shoulder. Rina quickly took defensive stance, pointing a pistol at his head, assuming the ghillie was the enemy.
"Cool it. I'm one of yours," said the ghillie. They both stacked up beside a door and waited for Arthuria to cut the power. Rina and the ghillie pulled down their nightvision goggles and prepared to breach.
"Ok, I've cut the power. Go," reported Arthuria on the radio. Rina quietly opened the door with her rifle on one hand, keeping it in line of sight. The ghillie followed soon after. She went through a room and saw a Nationalist, calling out to his friends, asking what happened to the electricity. Rina knifed him.
"These nightvision goggles make it too easy," commented the ghillie. Then they entered another room, where another Nationalist soldier was trying to feel his way around, with a pistol in hand, whispering his comrade's name. Rina stabbed him. Footsteps were heard coming down the stairs. The ghillie quickly sniped him off. They quickly climbed up the stairs and saw a Nationalist soldier, crouching in a corner, scared, pointing his pistol everywhere. Rina gave him no chances, and gutted him. Another Nationalist, acting a bit smarter than the rest, turned a table to its side and randomly fired everywhere. The ghillie rushed towards him, jumped across the table and stabbed him. After they were done, Arthuria entered through the first floor entrance, joining Rina and the ghillie. There was a room where the ghillie seemed to identify the informant. The ghillie crouched, asking Rina and Arthuria to aim at the doorway while he slowly goes through it. A Nationalist came out with a torchlight in hand and a pistol in the other, shined towards Rina and Arthuria, blinding them as nightvision goggles don't work in light. The ghillie rushed and headbutted the Nationalist, ramming him to the wall, then stabbed him through the neck. Rina and Arthuria entered the room when the informant yelled out.
"I didn't betray you! I'm not the informant!" yelled the informant, covering his face. He was shirtless, revealing his massive muscles. He had unkempt hair with several cuts and bruises all over his body. The ghillie picked up the torchlight and shined it at his face, then picked him up.
"It's the informant. Rambo, are you allright? Can you walk?" asked the ghillie.
"Yes, I can still fight. Thanks for rescuing me," replied Rambo. The ghillie picked up the M4A1 lying on the floor and handed to Rambo. Rina then led them to the extraction zone.
"Foxtrot 7, we've found him. Pick us up at LZ One, over," said Rina on the radio.
"Copy that," came the reply. A Resistance Sea Knight swooped in, landing at a field not far from the house. Rina, Arthuria, Rambo and the ghillie were joined together with other ghillies as they entered the Sea Knight. Once the team is on board, the Sea Knight took off, leaving the town in smoke.
