Chapter Five
Finally, the first original chapter in this story. Been awhile since I actually started this up again. Well I've got a week left before college, I can try to juggle the other story besides this one. Here we go.
In the middle of the laptop the symbol of the CIA was stationary as it circled around and around. Then it stops and it goes to the upper left hand corner, where it says CIA Systems and underneath it, Imaging Database System. The laptop had two borders, one on top which had the CIA and all the info. On the bottom, it had a box which had small words and on the left hand side it said Feeds and next to it where lines of coordinates. On the right hand side it had a red picture of all the continents flat. Then a box appeared on the middle as it searched for a soldier.
***Searching PFC Allen***
\..Located../
Status:...Reassigned
Located...General Sheppard
"So how do I look?" Allen said.
"Like one of the bad guys..perfect for your undercover assignment."
"So Makarov is the prize"
"Markarov is no prize. He's a whore, a mad dog killer for the highest bidder. Just remember your new identity, it'll keep you alive."
The 141 symbol is shown, though Allen is not a member of the 141.
"Welcome to the 141. Best hand picked group of warriors on the planet."
"It's and honor sir. When do I get to meet the rest of the team."
"Their on a mission, recovering a downed ACS module behind enemy lines."
"Their feet wet?"
"Imagine they're just about freezing right now."
With that, the laptop switches from CIA to 141 systems.
***Tracking Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson***
\..Located../
Tian Shan Range, Kazahkstan.
Day 2 – 07:35:51
In the high mountain ranges, Captain MacTavish and Roach are sitting on a slope as they catch their breath. MacTavish takes out a cigar and starts smoking. Roach on the other hand looks out at the mountain range and sits as he catches his breath. He ponders on how he got himself into this situation or into this mission in the first place.
Flashback:
The President was inside the 141 compound as he talked about the mission. The same 141 system was on, tracking down the ACS and where it was currently located. It was shown on the giant T.V screen.
"Alright, we got a problem. One of the main defense modules was shot down, but we could not identify who. The ACS landed here...in Russia."
The box had moved over to Tian Shan mountain range in Kazakhstan. Soon other boxes popped up nearby that showed a 3-D image of the ACS and it's information. Along with a live feed of where it was being taken to.
"Because of Russia's current political issue, we cannot send in Armed Forces, otherwise they would retaliate and we don't want that."
Soon the box had moved over to Moscow Russia and had shown how Russia had become an Ultranationalist country and they had a statue of Imran Zakhaev. How the Russian people celebrated.
"Therefore, I'm sending you boys in. Your mission is to recover the ACS module before they can crack it and copy it."
The screen ends and the lights dim back on.
"MacTavish, pick your partner. I'm only sending in two people so it doesn't look like we are trying to steal information from Russia."
MacTavish stood up and he looked around until he spotted Roach. He figured this would be a perfect time to test Roach's skills on the field.
"Roach..you're coming with me." MacTavish said.
Roach looked up and MacTavish had point him to come up. He got up from his seat and he walked up.
"Good, now, once you recover the ACS, there will be an extraction force waiting for you. Your mission begins now, there will be Chinook outside waiting for you. Good Luck."
With that the President walked off with two of the Secret Service bodyguards and left the compound. MacTavish and Roach walks off to the weapon selection. MacTavish had already started and was half way being done gearing up. Roach on the other hand was in deep thoughts. He was still picking his weapon until he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"I know your nervous cause it's your first mission." MacTavish said. "All you need to do is be smart and follow my lead."
Roach nods and he picks his weapons and gear. They both pack artic camo and other clothing to survive in the harsh mountains in Russia. Once they were done, they walked off to the Chinook. Four other 141 members were waiting for them. Ghost was obviously there since he was second in command. Parton, Angel, Gator and Exxon was also inside. Once MacTavish and Roach went inside the Chinook, it lifted off and flew to Russia. Ghost handed Roach a bag which had C4 inside.
"Just in case." Ghost said.
"Thanks." Roach took the bag and strapped it to his back.
The ride was silent and steady, mainly because no one talked. All Roach could hear was the sound of the rotor and perhaps the pilot radioing back to command or where ever. Then a red alarm blared and they MacTavish stood up and put on his winter equipment. Roach got up and did the same.
"Grab a parachute, your gonna need it." MacTavish yelled over the alarm.
Just then the hatch opens and they were flying over the mountains. The cold air flew inside the Chinook along with snow.
"Jump!" MacTavish yelled.
They both jumped out of the Chinook with their parachutes on. The Chinook had raised the hatch and they flew away towards an unknown location. After free falling for awhile, they pulled the cord and guided themselves towards the mountains. They both slammed into the wall but they landed on a small ledge. From there, they pulled out their ice picks and got a good hold on the ice. They unclasped their chutes and watched it fall below. Then they climbed up and though their nearly fell from the unstable, weak ice, they made it to the ledge and they sat down catching their breath.
Present:
Just then a MiG flew over head awaking Roach from his thoughts and he looked around and saw the jet leave. MacTavish took one last puff and flicked the cigar off.
"Break times over Roach..let's go" MacTavish said.
They both got up and slide themselves slowly from the ledge. They could still hear the jets flying overhead. Once they reached a giant wall of ice MacTavish pulled out his ice picks and inspected the ice.
"Stay here and spot me, wait for my go."
He started to climb up before looking down.
"Alright, the ice is good. Follow me"
Roach pulled out is ice picks and started climb as well. Half way up another MiG flew past but flew lower than the rest causing the snow to fall down nearly making MacTavish fall off though he got his footing back. They finally made it to the top and they saw a gap between them and their destination.
"Good luck, mate. See you on the far side."
He walked back, got a head start and ran. He jumps the gap and he manages to hold on with the ice picks. He starts climbing and he looks back and signals Roach to come. He runs and jumps but unfortunately the ice broke off as he landed causing him to slide off and nearly fall off. His right ice pick breaks off from the unstable ice causing him to hold on to his left one.
"HOLD ON!" MacTavish yelled as he slides back down and grabs a hold of him. He then pulls him back up and Roach continues to climb up with MacTavish right behind him. They finally make it to the top and they drop their ice picks and grab their weapons. Roach, takes out his ARC (Adaptive Combat Rifle), equipped with a red dot sight, silence and a heart beat sensor. MacTavish on the other hand took out his EBR (Enhanced Battle Rifle), equipped with Thermal, silence and heart beat sensor. Roach, had never used one but figure since they were going into the snow, it would be easier to spot enemies ahead with it.
"Roach, check your heartbeat senor." MacTavish said.
He flips the screen over so he can see it and he looks at the screen. It has a cone with lines in the middle, every once in awhile, a wave will pulse through the screen and a blue dot pops up.
"You should be able to see me on the scope. That blue dot is me, any unrecognized contact will show up as red." MacTavish said.
Roach nods and they continue towards their destination. They walk along side the cliff and to their left is the Russian Airstrip. Every once in awhile, a MiG will be seen taking off or landing. Then two red dots show up on their heartbeat sensor. They aim down their sights and walk. Just then two Russian soldiers are seen talking to each other, their backs in front of the two 141 soldiers.
"Take the one on the right. My go. .Three." MacTavish said. They both fire killing the two soldiers and they walk past them.
"Nicely done." MacTavish complimented.
They continue and still spot two more soldiers. They take them out and continue on ahead, they finally reach the base but the blizzard continues to rage and gets heavier.
"Alright, lets split up. I'll use the thermal scope and provide over-watch from this ridge. Use the cover of the storm to enter the base. You'll be a ghost in the storm, so the guards won't see you until you're very close. Good Luck." MacTavish radioed back as he climbed over the ridge.
Roach uses his heart beat sensor and he walks towards a compound. He sees about five enemies and he heads towards the car and he leans there and pops his head up once in awhile to see who is there. Just then, the guard by the door drops dead and two more to the left are killed.
"I've got them." MacTavish radio.
"Remember, the guards won't see you until you are very close" he said.
Roach walks into the compound and sees a guard sitting on a chair watching T.V. He shoots him in the head and walks past him. He heads towards the door and runs. He can barely see the headlights of the car and would not of known until MacTavish told him.
"Hold up, truck coming, stay out of sight." MacTavish said.
Roach stops and he sees a small platform filled with crates, most likely ammo crates. He runs up and crouches down hiding from the truck. He watches as the truck passes but stops and he curses silently.
"Heads up, truck stopped. Four tangos just got off the truck and are looking around. Hold up, they've spotted a dead body. MacTavish said as Roach hunkers down and wait.
Roach takes this time to sneak off and run further into the base.
"Alright, I've tapped into their Comms. Head southeast and plant the C4 along the fueling station. We may need to go plan "B" if things go bad." MacTavish radio.
Roach continues his way towards the fueling station.
"Heads up..you got twenty plus foot mobiles heading your way."
Roach strafes side ways and leans on the wall. He follows the wall and peers out and sees the station. He quickly runs until a couple of head lights from cars come.
"Hold up, truck heading your way. Stay out of sight."
Roach slides towards the fueling station and he prones down hoping he would not get caught. Luckily, they did not spot him and he waits a few for minutes before getting back up.
"Alright, your at the fueling station. Plant the C4"
Roach pulls out the bag and he takes out the C4 and sticks it out of sight and he drops the bag.
"I'm picking up more radio chatter about the ACS. Stand by. Got it, Sounds like the ACS is in the hanger bay near by. Race you there. Oscar Mike. Out."
Roach gets up and he runs towards the hanger bay. He takes out two soldiers standing by the MiGs having a smoke. He starts to head towards the tower.
"I'm picking up a large heat signature near that tower, Could by BMPs. I'd avoid that area."
He then heads towards the containers and he finds a small path leading to the back of the hanger bay. He runs and jumps down and hears the door opening. He aims it at the door and MacTavish comes out.
"Took the scenic route aye."
Roach grunts and he reloads his weapon as they enter the building. They walk silently until a guard walks towards the locker. MacTavish pulls out his knife and he slams the guard into the locker and brings him down. He stabs him in the throat while covering his mouth until he dies.
"Alright, lets go." MacTavish said as he cleans his knife and puts it back into the holster.
They reach the bay and they see the ACS satellite being worked on.
"Roach, head up stairs and get the ACS module."
He heads upstairs and he looks around. He spots the small module and he picks it up.
"Sir, I got it."
However, as Roach was heading upstairs. The Hangar door slides open and MacTavish is held at gunpoint by 12 Russian soldiers. A loud clang is head and Roach silently grabs the module.
"Roach, I've been compromised. Keep a low profile and stay out of sight."
MacTavish puts his hands up as Roach crouch walks outside and hides behind the crate and sees the soldier. Then a soldier comes out with a megaphone.
"This is Major Petrov! Come out with your hands up! We have captured one of your comrades! You have five seconds to comply!"
Nothing happens and Major Petrov speaks again.
"Very well, you have five seconds to comply!"
"Roach..Go plan B"
Roach pulls out the C4 detonator and he waits."
"Five!"
He still waits.
"Four!"
"Three!'
"Two!"
MacTavish then speaks up.
"NOW!"
"One!"
Then a large explosion from the fueling station catches the attention of the soldiers. MacTavish and Roach pull out their weapons and kills them.
"Hug the wall! We can use the MiGs as cover!" MacTavish yelled as they gun down the Russian Soldiers. They continue to run towards the air strip as more Russian soldiers appear to kill them. Roach and MacTavish continue to return fire killing more soldiers, but with just the two of them, they run the risk of being overrun.
"To the east go! I'll cover you!" MacTavish yelled as Roach got up and ran towards the MiG.
"Roach, Cover me!"
Roach looks around and takes out the soldiers aiming at MacTavish's position. MacTavish gets up and runs towards Roach and then they sprint towards the end of the airstrip. They both slide down the hill and heads towards the boat before they heard the sound of gunfire and bullets whizzing towards them. They turn around and aim at the soldiers before two snowmobiles come rushing towards them.
"Roach! Take out the snowmobiles!" Mactavish yelled as he hid by the house and right as the snowmobile rounded the corner, he knocked the driver and passenger out and killed them.
Roach waited til the other snowmobile stopped and he open fire, killing them and running towards the snowmobile.
"Roach, take that snowmobile! Let's get the hell out of here!" MacTavish yelled as they both revved the snowmobile and drove off.
Soon after, more snowmobiles followed them as they tried to shoot them off or direct them towards a tree.
"Kilo-Six-One, the primary exfil point is compromised! We're en route to the back up LZ using enemy transport! Meet us there! Over!" MacTavish radioed as they both continue to drive towards the LZ being chased enemies and a Apache helicopter.
"Bravo-Six, this is Kilo-Six-One, roger that, over"
They continue to drive towards up towards the hill as Roach pulls out the UZI from the holster in the snowmobile and gunned down two of enemy snowmobile as they were ahead of them.
"More tangos to the rear, just outrun them GO GO!" MacTavish yelled.
They both sped up their snowmobile and drove off the hill and landed on what appeared to be a thick frozen lake. They frozen lake was accompanied by Russian soldiers and more enemy transport. They continue to drive towards the small path from where the lake ended and drove up the hill. The Apache stopped following them and they both started driving down hill. They could see a large gap between where they were and the backup LZ. Then a MiG is seen flying nearby shooting rockets at them trying to take them out.
"Bravo Six, We're at bingo fuel. What's your status over!" The Pilot radioed MacTavish.
"Kilo-Six-One, we're taking heavy enemy fire but we're almost there! Standby!"
"ROACH! PIN THE THROTTLE GO GO!"
Roach revved the throttle as much as he could and he makes the ramp and survives the jump. He lands and continues up towards the hill until the MiG fires two more rockets and hits the buildings nearby. Just then, he saw the Chinook with Ghost, Patron, Exxon, Gator and Angel outside with their weapons ready aiming it towards Roach and Mactavish, ready to gun down any enemy stragglers.
"Bravo Six, we have you on visual, get your ass on board! We're running on fumes!" Pilot yelled at them.
"Get inside now!" Ghost radios to Roach and MacTavish.
"They got the ACS, lets go!" Patron said as Roach and MacTavish climb off the snowmobile and ran inside the Chinook as it started to fly off, it closed the hatch and flew off, back to the U.S
"That...was one hell of a fight." Roach said as he pulled off his helmet and balaclava.
"Too right." MacTavish said as he pulled off his hat and put his weapon down.
Roach took out the ACS module and handed it Ghost.
"You think they could of copied it by now?" Gator asked.
"Hard to tell...looking at it, they didn't get much" Ghost replied.
"Let's just focus on getting back to base." Angel said as he leaned back and closed his eyes.
Roach sat down and closed his eyes as MacTavish consults with Ghost on what happened. Roach had fallen asleep and the last thing he heard was.
"The Russians aren't going to let this massacre go unanswered. It's gonna get bloody."
Well, here is Chap 5. Hope you like it. Yes, Allen was never recruited as the 141. You'll find out why Sheppard said that to Allen. Also, the first part is pretty much the intro for Cliff hanger so watch the intro and you'll pretty much know what I'm describing. The same will go for almost every chapter. Anyway, have fun reading.
