Chapter Two
Third Person PoV
The streets of Afghanistan, littered with garbage and dust. The sun was up at it's highest point bringing the searing heat to the civilians and militia outside. Gun fire echoed loudly throughout the streets of the ruined city as blood stained the dirt. The walls, stone roads had splatters of blood from American Forces and OpFor. This sight was not rare within the streets of the war torn city, near the river of Afghanistan a militia group known as OpFor stood across the other side as they continue their bombardment on the Ranger Force from the other side. While they are not as well trained as the Rangers they still pose a serious threat. They continue shooting RPKs with drum magazine and AK-47's along with large bombardment of RPGs at them. However away from the river and towards the center was three MH-6 Little Birds carrying Delta Operators.
Metal team consisting of Sandman, Grinch, Frost and Truck was in lead. Anvil Team consisting of Thumper, Grizzly, Bearcat and Zero. Last team was Granite consisting of Granite, Angel, Kojack and Roach. The three teams land on the streets as they exit out they contact each other.
"Granite team this is Metal 0-1, take position on the building by the east and cover us from the roof" Sandman radioed.
"Roger that Metal 0-1" Kojack replied.
Granite team runs to the nearest building as they breach the doors enemy OpFor militia is taking by surprised and before they can react, Granite team kills them and they check the area.
"Roach, take lead Angel go with him." Granite said. He motioned his hand to the stairs.
"We'll cover your 6" Kojack replied.
Roach and Angel take point both carrying their M4A1 with red dot sight and M203. They each go floor to floor clearing out doors and hallways. Each floor and hallway had more and more OpFor militia guarding the hallway. They all take them out with little ease but they sheer amount of them caused a bit of issue. Finally they reach the roof and they take point.
"Sir, we've reached the roof and it's all cleared" Angel radioed.
"Alright, coming up your way now" Granite replied back.
Roach and Angel both take out their M21 and they look at the corner across from them as they spot Metal Team at the first floor.
"Metal 0-1 This is Granite 4-4, We've got you on our scope you've got four tango's nearby we're gonna take them out" Angel radioed.
"Roger that Granite" Sandman replied.
Metal team waits by the corner as they look over they see two OpFor guarding the stairs and two more by the elevator. Just then Granite and Kojack finally reach the roof as they set up their position and aim at the other two enemies. They each fire their shots and the four enemies fall down dead with a bullet right between the eyes.
"Target Neutralized" Granite radioed.
"Roger, Lets move out!" Sandman replied back.
Metal team run up to the floor as Granite team provide sniper support taking out hostiles from the upper levels and picking out stragglers Finally Metal team reaches the final floor and they start placing explosives and others by the foundation of the building for Plan B.
"Anvil Team come in, I need your help breaching this floor." Sandman radioed.
"Roger Metal" Grizzly replied.
The four man squad runs to the target building as Granite provides sniper cover again and they watch as Anvil reached Metal Team.
Metal's PoV
"GRINCH, get a charge on the walls, Frost cover my 6 I'm gonna take this guy out" Sandman whispered.
Grinch with the help of Truck starts placing breaching charges on the walls and foundation of the floors. Frost covers Sandman as he sneaks behind the militia and covers his mouth as he slits his throat open and he carefully drops him on the floor as he dies. Finally Grizzly's team reaches the floor and they take position of the walls. Metal Team and Anvil takes position on the walls Sandman looks at Grizzly as they nod their heads signaling that they are ready. The charges are detonated and the walls break open revealing the Leader and guards around him. They proceed to take them out as Thumper wrestles with a OpFor soldier and wins. The leader grabs his pistol but his shot on the arm by Truck before he can fire it.
"Sir, We've got the target, I repeat we have the target." Truck said.
Back on base, command that is leading Delta Force radio's back.
"Roger that, Metal, Anvil and Granite ETA 10 minutes, Proceed to the Extraction Point." Overlord replied.
"Roger that Overlord, We're leaving now" Sandman radioed back.
Just then Metal and Anvil team can hear the doors being broken down as gunfire is being heard near their vicinity and they look out to see large groups of OpFor coming to kill them, not to mention being bombarded with heavy RPG fire.
"LETS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE NOW, Truck watch the target!" Sandman yelled.
Metal and Anvil both return fire to the OpFor, thining the numbers out before they race out of the building. Truck is forced to grab the Target and cover both of them. Grinch shoots his Scar-L towards any nearby enemies. Frost on the other hand switched to his M203 grenade launcher. Anvil Team just reached the stairs and are taking out targets that are coming near by.
Granite's PoV
"Shit, alright lets get out" Granite said as they switch to their M4A1s.
Granite get's out as they reach the stairs they are ambushed by OpFor that surrounded the area. They are forced to shot their way out. Roach and Angel start throwing grenades as Granite and Kojack fire back at them. They then proceed floor to floor shooting OpFor. Finally they reach outside the building and take over by the walls as they provide firing cover for the other two teams.
"Metal, Anvil where the hell are you?" Granite radioed.
"We're almost outside, we're taking heavy fire, can you support?" Grizzly yelled back at the radio.
"Roger" Granite said.
Granite looks around as he spot Metal and Anvil still inside but are hunkered down by the heavy fire they are getting.
"Roach, take control of that .50 right there. We'll cover you, Go!" Granite yelled as he grabbed Roach's attention and pointed.
Roach sprints to the .50 Cal that was left by OpFor when they went to hunt down Metal and Anvil. Granite is over by the walls covering Roach as they rush out to try to shoot him or stab him. Roach reaches the car and he drives to Granite and they load up as Roach drives, Granite and Kojack in the back and Angel on the .50. They drive off to Anvil and Metal's position as they get near them Angel opens fire and kills the OpFor before they can even get near them. Angel then switches his targets towards the OpFor pinning Metal team down. The large group of OpFor is quickly gunned down and killed.
"Metal 0-1 and Anvil 2-1, Do not I repeat Do not fire at the truck to the east." Kojack radioed.
"Roger that, thanks for assist over." Sandman replied.
Metal team and Anvil get to the Truck as soon as Granite hop off. The 12 man squad along with the Leader that is blindfolded and tied up is forced to trek to the target building for Evac.
"This is Overlord, MH-6 Little Birds are almost there what is your status over" Overlord radioed.
"Overlord, We are taking heavy enemy fire and we need support over." Sandman replied.
"Copy Sandman, we are sending in a AC-130H gunship to your location over." Overlord replied
Third Person PoV
Metal, Anvil and Granite team are pinned down by three technicals and over a dozen OpFor soldiers.
"WATCH OUT RPG!" Zero screams into the radio.
They all hunker down as they dodge the RPG. Meanwhile Thumper,Frost and Zero are seen shooting their M203 across trying to thin out the number of militia as they are being surrounded. The AC-130 reaches near their position and circles around the firefight.
"Delta this is Warhammer, There's too much activity going on, your gonna have to mark the target with a smoke" Pilot radio.
"Alright, Roach, mark the targets with your smoke!" Granite yelled.
Roach takes out the green smoke and tosses it towards the technicals as the smoke grenade opens the green smoke start to gather.
"Roger that Delta, We've got the targets. Firing, Danger Close" Gunner replied.
The AC-130 switches gun to the 40MM cannons and they fire at the technicals destroying them and the nearby militia. Roach then tosses another smoke near the clusters of militia by the building and the AC-130 switches to the 25MM Gatling guns and fire at the clusters of soldiers. Delta then moves forward after the large groups of soldiers are destroyed.
"Thanks for the assist Warhammer" Sandman replies.
"Alright, Good Luck we're returning back to base"
The AC-130 then drops a large crate of supplies before leaving and flies off back to base. They rush to the crate and re supplies themselves as they pick up a UAV control. Frost takes control of the UAV control and they move to the Target building. The building is filled with enemy hostiles and with the RPG fire they are taking the building is practically falling apart.
"LETS GO LETS GO, THIS BUILDING WONT STAND MUCH LONGER" Grizzly yelled.
Metal team moves around to provide rear support and starts shooting at the OpFor heading their way. They finally reach the top and the they see three MH-6 Little Birds getting close but they have to hold out before they can land.
"Anvil take position by the stairs, Granite cover our 6 Go Go Go!" Sandman orders
They take their position as they return fire to the OpFor.
"Frost, USE THE AGMS!" Thumper yells
Frost opens the UAV and fires a Predator missile to the nearby buildings killing OpFor soldiers. After what seemed to be like hours the MH-6 Little Birds land and Delta gets aboard with the Leader inside.
"Delta, This is General Sheppard, we are firing a Predator to the nearby building." Sheppard said before shutting off the link.
"What!, Are you serious!" Zero yelled.
"HOLD ON TIGHT!" The pilot replied as he sees the missile fly over head.
Once the MH-6 Little Birds are up in the air they see the missile flying nearby and once it hits the building the Little Birds are hit with the shock wave the bird shakes a lot and alarms starts to ring as the birds attempts stabilize it self. As dust covers their sight.
Ranger PoV
"ALLEN, SWITCH TO THE M203" Sgt. Foley yelled.
Allen starts shooting off the grenades across the river hitting the militia and killing them.
"THEIR UP BY THE BRIDGE TAKE THEM OUT!" A nearby Ranger shouted
Allen aims at the river and shoots at them. They start retreating as the bridge is completed.
"Lets go we're Oscar Mike!" Cpl. Dun shouts.
Everyone rushes to the bridge and Allen mans the mini gun on the Humvee. A lot of Rangers chatter at which building Gen. Sheppard was gonna hit. While some take out their cameras and phones to record the impact.
"10 SECONDS!" A Ranger shouted.
"Which building is it sir?"
"The one at 1 o'clock"
"Which one?"A confused Ranger shouted over the chatter
"Hey Danny, which one, the one on the right or the left?"
"The left"
"Hey, isn't this danger close for the D-Boys?"
"Common, since when does Sheppard care about Danger Close" Cpl. Dun replied.
Just then the Predator missile lands destroying the building and receiving a lot of cheers and yelling from the Rangers. While the building collapses.
"GET SOME BABY!"
"WHOOOOOO!"
The rangers move out to complete their mission.
Third Person PoV
The Birds stabilize as they fly back to base. Delta lands as they grab the resistance leader and Angel holds him to the ground. Just then a CV-22B Osprey lands nearby and the hatch opens. Four armed guards come out with a man in a tie and suit walks out surrounded by the armed guards. One of them is depicted to be wearing a skull ski mask with a British accent and the other with a Mohawk with a Scottish accent. The other two are in the back chatting to them selves and appear to be wearing goggles and mask over their face. The man in the tie and suit has the U.S flag pin on the left side of his Tux. General Sheppard then approaches them.
"Mr. President, What brings you here?"
Once the soldiers hear that he was the President they all stood straight up and slaute to him while saying.
"Mr. President Sir!"
The President chuckles a bit.
"At ease soldiers."
General Sheppard then orders Delta to go back to their tents but asks Roach to stay behind. The rest of the team claps his back or waves at him. Roach then looks at the President
"Alright, I bet your wondering why I asked you here"President asked.
"Yes sir, I am. Am I in any trouble?"Roach replied.
"No, but I'm gonna make you as offer. How would you like to join my Task Force?"
"Task...Force sir?"
"That's right, these four men here are apart of my Task Force that I command. Their applications range from Ranger/Delta/SAS/Australian/Canadian special forces that we recruit. We hand pick the best of the best from each."
Roach had his eye wide but he looked at the four men.
"Ahhh, Yes I bet your wondering who they are."
The President points at the man with the Mohawk.
"This is Capt. MacTavish, he is the Field Commander."
Then he points to the man in the Ski Mask.
"This is Lt. Riley otherwise known as Ghost. He is second in command."
"The last two behind me not paying ATTENTION!" This got the other two startled and faced forward trying to hide the embarrassment.
"They are known as Meat and Royce."
Roach looks at the four them and realized that they not a push over, they've been through the most intense missions before and have been through hell and back. Roach has always wanted to be part of a special operation and this felt like this chance to join an Elite group.
"I...will accept sir.."
The President smiles.
"Good, we will leave now, come aboard to the CV-22B Osprey and we will talk about your role."
The five of them walk back to the Osprey as Roach takes one last look at the Delta tent and sees his friends hanging out and laughing. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
"So long buddies...Hope to see you again." He whispered.
He walks inside and as the hatch closes Capt. MacTavish holds out his hand and Roach grabs it shaking hand.
"Welcome to the 141 mate, Good to have you aboard."
