/The group was shocked, Aelita and Chase were a mixture of extreme sadness and infuriation/
"What?" asked Miranda
"Mason killed them" said Jeremie with sadness
"Oh my god" said Yumi putting her hand to her mouth
"What do we do now?" asked Ulrich
/Chase stood up/
"I'll tell you what I'm going to do" said Chase
/Chase took his ghost mask out of his back pocket and stared at it for a second, then he put it on/
"I'm going to kill John Mason" said Chase
"I'm helping you" said Dylan
"I'm calling Baseplate" said Chase
"What about us? We still have to fight XANA" said Alexandr
"I know that's why I'm only hunting him part time, you guys will still see me" said Chase
/Before anyone could question, Chase walked into the elevator and went up/
"Mommy, daddy" muttered Aelita
/Aelita cried harder as everyone got in a group hug with her/
/Chase walked towards the gates of Kadic when he was Sissi, Herve, and Nicolas at the gate/
"What's with the ugly mask?" asked Herve
/Chase didn't answer, but he shoved past Sissi and Nicolas/
"You always did need a mask for your ugly face, Enheart!" shouted Sissi
/Chase stopped as Nicolas walked to him/
"Yeah, you always looked like an idiot!" said Nicolas
/Chase turned around and shoved his M1911 in his face/
"What did you say?" asked Chase
/Nicolas, Sissi, and Herve stood where they were in fright/
"That's what I thought, now run!" said Chase
/Sissi, Herve, and Nicolas ran away screaming as Chase heard clapping behind him/
"Well done ghost, nice to see you haven't gone rusty" said Baseplate
"Piss off Baseplate, you know why I'm here" said Chase holstering his gun
"Of course, have you reconsidered?" asked Baseplate
"Yeah, I'll kill Mason for you on one condition" said Chase
"Name it" said Baseplate
"I get to come back to Kadic whenever I want" said Chase
"Deal" said Baseplate
/Chase grinned/
/In the server room/
"Are you going to be alright Aelita?" asked Jeremie
"I don't know, where's my brother?" asked Aelita
"Oh my god, he went to talk to that Baseplate guy!" said Odd
/Everyone went in the elevator as fast as the could/
/Chase looked at Baseplate/
"I need to talk with my friends first" said Chase
"Alright ghost, but make it quick" said Baseplate
/Chase looked over his shoulder and saw the group running towards him/
"Chase!" said Jennifer
/Chase stayed where he was and the group went to him/
"Where the hell are you going?" asked Alexandr
"He's going to assassinate general John Mason for us" said Baseplate
"I'm coming too" said Dylan
"What about our problem?" asked Jeremie
"We already know about XANA, Mason is working with him" said Baseplate
/The group except for Chase and Dylan went slack jawed/
"What?!" asked Miranda
"Mason is the reason XANA is alive, once Mason is gone then XANA will go away with him" said Baseplate
"So we kill Mason and XANA will follow?" asked Rebecca
"Yes" said Baseplate
/The group looked at each other and sighed/
"Alright, but Jeremie is going to be our mission coordinator" said Dylan
"What? Why me?" asked Jeremie
"We trust you with our lives, and personally I think you do a better job than Baseplate. No offence" said Chase
"None taken" said Baseplate
/Chase and Dylan looked at Jeremie who was holding Aelita/
"Alright, I guess I can try" said Jeremie
"Don't worry Einstein, its really easy" said Chase
"Lets do this then" said Dylan
/Baseplate pointed at a Humvee/
"Get in" said Baseplate
/The group went to the Humvee/
"I'll drive" said Chase
/Chase got in the drivers seat/
"Where are we all going?" asked Miranda
"The airport, we're going to Germany" said Baseplate
"Ramstein AFB I presume?" asked Chase
"Yes" said Baseplate
"What about Delmas?" asked Ulrich
"We put in a saying that you all had grief leave" said Baseplate
"That's way too true" muttered Aelita
/Chase started driving/
"Hey what about the Pentagon supercomputer?" asked Yumi
"We already disposed of it" said Baseplate
"And who is 'we'?" asked Rebecca
"There's a lot of people who want XANA gone as much as you guys" said Baseplate
"That doesn't really answer my question" said Rebecca
"Lets just say that we're beyond top secret" said Baseplate
"Ah" said Yumi
/Chase kept driving/
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/TWENTY MINUTES LATER/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
/Chase saw the airport/
"Go around back I got a pass" said Baseplate
/Chase drove to the service entrance and Baseplate showed an ID to the guard, the guard retraced the gate and Chase drove in/
"Which plane is it?" asked Chase
/Baseplate pointed at an AC-130/
"An AC-130 eh? Haven't worked with one of those in a while" said Dylan
"Uh, I have a fear of flying" said Jeremie
"Its alright Belpois, these planes are the Americans wet dream" said Chase
/Aelita grabbed Jeremie's hand, causing them both to smile/
"This is it" said Baseplate
/Chase stopped the Humvee and everyone got out, they walked into the cargo bay and sat on one of the seats/
"How long of a flight is this going to be?" asked William
"Only a few hours, this is a fast plane actually" said Baseplate
"You guys might want to get comfortable" said Dylan
/Everyone adjusted to their seats as the plane started going down the runway/
"Oh man I hate flying" said Jeremie
"You need a doggy bag?" asked Miranda
"No, all I want is to get back on the ground" said Jeremie
"Jeremie relax, planes don't crash as often as they used to" said Alexandr
/Aelita squeezed Jeremie's hand/
/The AC-130 took off in the air, everyone except for Baseplate, Chase, and Dylan looked out the windows/
"Man we are high up" said Odd
"This is awesome" said Jennifer
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\A FEW HOURS LATER\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
/The plane landed on an runway at Ramstien AFB, after about twenty minutes they got it in a hanger/
"Lets move" said Baseplate
/Rebecca grabbed Dylan's wheelchair handles and they all walked out of the plane to see several dozen soldiers saluting/
"What's all of this?" asked Ulrich
/Chase walked past them and to the ground, he saluted back/
"At ease" said Chase
/All of the soldiers went into an at ease stance/
"Guys, welcome to Germany" said Chase
/Chase chuckled a little at seeing the group except for Dylan and Baseplate react to seeing several dozen soldiers saluting/
"You guys coming?" asked Chase
/The group walked down the ramp/
"Follow me" said Baseplate
/The group followed Baseplate to another building, they walked inside to see several men in front of military computers/
"Mission control" said Chase
"Just like old times" said Dylan
"I have to ask, is anything normal in your lives?" asked Jennifer
"No" said Dylan and Chase
"That's what I thought" said Jennifer
"So what do we do now?" asked Odd
"Me, Dylan, and a few others are going to fuck with Mason a little" said Chase
"How so?" asked Miranda
"We got word of a man that Mason has had dealings with in the past, ghost and wolf are leading a group to apprehend him" said Baseplate
"Where is the guy?" asked Ulrich
"In Berlin" said Baseplate
"Its called Operation Clockwork" said Chase
"And after this?" asked Aelita
"You guys will return to France until we need you again" said Baseplate
"Alright, who's going?" asked Yumi
"Just wolf, ghost, and a few tier one soldiers" said Baseplate
"Wait a minute, Dylan still can't walk" said Rebecca
"Really? Then I guess ghost is leading the mission" said Baseplate
"Alright, who's coming with me?" asked Chase
"A few guys from the SAS, and a few guys from Delta Force" said Baseplate
"Alright, when?" asked Jennifer
"ASAP" said Baseplate
"I'll see you guys when I get back" said Chase
"Be careful" said Jennifer
"I will" said Chase
/Chase walked away with Baseplate as Jeremie sat down in front of a military computer and the group crowded around him/
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/FOUR HOURS LATER/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
/Chase finished putting on his equipment as Jennifer, Dylan, Rebecca, and Aelita walked in/
"Hi" said Jennifer
"Hi" said Chase
"You better come back" warned Aelita
"I will, its not the first mission I ever been on" said Chase
/Jennifer kissed Chase, then he pulled away and put on his mask/
"I'll see you when I get back" said Chase
"Be careful" said Rebecca
/Chase hugged all of them, he hugged Aelita lastly/
"Seriously be careful, you're the only family I got left" whispered Aelita
"Don't worry sis, I will be as careful as I can" said Chase
/Chase pulled away and grabbed a heavily modified MP5k from a weapon locker, then he walked to a table and picked up his M1911 and put in in a holster, then he waved and walked out the door to meet his men/
"Sir" said Pvt. Walker
/All of the men saluted/
"At ease" said Chase
"Its an honor to work with the ghost" said Sgt. Wicker
"Thank you, how many men do we have?" asked Chase
"Twenty" said Pvt. Walker
"Alright, lets move" said Chase
/The men nodded and followed Chase to a Blackhawk helicopter/
