Chapter 3: Welcome to War
[The following events in this chapter take 2-3 years after Judgment Day.]
Soon, Skynet started building what had been referred to as Terminators and Hunter-Killer Drones. A squadron of HKs had ended up blowing up the city. SSGT Marsh, 1SGT Bates, SGT Ryan, PV2 Stevens and SPC Broflovski spent the next 3 years looking for as many survivors as possible and collecting all the supplies that were left over from the attack. But one day, while on their daily survivor search, they stumble upon something they weren't at all pleased to see.
"Oh, shit," Marsh thought to himself.
"Everybody get down, there are Terminators here," he whispered.
Suddenly, the four of them all start to have the same expression on their faces, one of worry and doubt, but not panic(gladly).
"We might need to end early," Broflovski suggested.
And all the same time, they all said, "I agree."
And with that, they went back to base and warned everyone about the possibility of an attack. There were some screams of panic while others were able to stay calm. About 30 minutes, after the news had been relayed out, a wave of Terminators started to attack the base. Marsh and Broflovski were together when they heard the Terminators' gunfire. Before they broke off to hold off the flanks, Stan said to Kyle, "Welcome to war, my friend."
"War is nothing new to me. It's always been the same."
Stan was known for having always using the same arsenal throughout most of his years in Afghan and was still using it here. He used a FN SCAR-H assault rifle with FN40 grenade launcher and ACOG scope, a M9 Baretta pistol, and a M1014 shotgun, and a bowie knife. He always carried his shotgun and pistol around but he would interchange his primary weapon if he was able to. If he wasn't using his SCAR, he was using either his M249 Para machine gun or his MK12 SPR sniper rifle.
Kyle, on the other hand, with his experience of weapons engineering, has learned that Russian weapons are ten times more reliable, sturdy, and durable than American weapons. Therefore, it would be proper if he used a AK-12 with GP-30 grenade launcher, Siaga-12 shotgun with a holographic weapons sight, and a Makarov PPM pistol. However, like Stan, he has different weapon preferences for different types of missions. He would use either a silenced Dragunov SVD sniper rifle or a PKP machine gun.
SPC Broflovski had received lots of training from the other three base leaders. He got combat training from Stan, arms training from Bates, and vehicle manuvering from Allen and Ryan. And evidently, for the parts that mattered here, it was paying off. He had been a very accurate shooter, maybe even more accurate than 1st Sgt. Marsh. That's probably why he was forced into using his fists less than Stan was. Kyle knew to aim for the neck and he usually hit his target. Stan might have had to use hand-to-hand combat more but he was doing just as fine as Kyle was. Stan knew the weak spots for all the different variants of Terminators easily and was able to use different combinations of small arms fire, evasiveness, and hand-to-hand combat in order to destroy each different Terminator in a different way. SSGT. Bates had commanded the RPG, and Sgt. Ryan had manned the .50 cal sniper rifle. As a team, the four were doing very well, along with all the other soldiers. However, one of those four usually gave an assist kill to one of the infantry, but that didn't happen too often. After 2 long and hard hours of fighting, that whole wave of Terminators had been destroyed. Only 2 of their men were wounded. But they knew there were way more Terminators than that. However, they decided not to focus on that too much right now.
And when Stan found his best friend all he could manage to say was, "Good shootin', brother."
Kyle wanted to correct Stan, but Kyle knew what Stan meant when he said 'brother' to him.
All Kyle did was nod in approval.
