AN: Hello and welcome to Chapter 19 of Earth Soldiers In Remnant, and I need to make a apology. I am so,so, sorry that i have not put another chapter out for the story, I have had ideas for other ideas for stories and I also couldn't really think about what I wanted to write for this chapter. But anyway, here it is in all its, hopefully, goodness.
Chapter 19: Battlements
James walked out of the planes back with his fellow paras to be greeted by a welcoming sight, US marines awaited to help them get comfortable in Vale, the 15 injured men were quickly taken to the hospital for treatment. He gave a sigh as he took his first step onto the soil, only to quickly hear his name. "JAMES!" He turned and almost had a heart attack.
Standing a few meters away through the crowd was his, thought to be dead, brother Nelson. He was wearing his British army uniform with his starstreak MANPAD slung around his left shoulder. James didn't waste any time and quickly bear-hugged his brother, small tears coming down his eyes "I thought you died?!" He stated through the tears as his brother hugged back.
"I thought we did too, but we ended up here and met some nice people while-" Nelson quickly shut his mouth as he realized it was a bad moment to try and explain what was happening.
Meanwhile a few meters away, Sarah and Keith met. "You Warrant Officer Sarah Snatch by any chance?" Keith asked the women.
"Yes, and you are?" Sarah replied.
"Sergeant Keith Runner of the 118ths British army. I'm Nelsons sergeant." Keith explained.
"Ah, Sergeant Runner, Nelson told us about you and his squad mates before he left to fight in operation RedHorn." Sarah nodded. "Is the rest of his squad here?"
"Yes they are, their at Beacon Academy right now actually." Keith explained as he took of his helmet and swiped his arm across his forehead, getting rid of a few drops of sweat that hung from his head.
"Beacon Academy?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah, its where most of the forces that cant fit on the fleet hold up. The headmaster is quite a nice guy." Keith smiled as he turned to look back at the hugging brothers. "He's really happy to see his brother again."
"I know, my husband's been missing him a lot, now that he's found him he seems all new and ready for anything." Sarah smiled.
"MOVE!" Lewis yelled as he tackled a soldier to the floor as a large black feather impaled the floor where the soldier once stood. The troops were, at that moment, still protecting the civilions as they loaded onto the evacuation transports. Lewis, along with most of the others, had made a line of the vehicles to try and protect from the encroaching Grim. He quickly scrambled to his feet and held his rifle up just in time to see a Hornet take out the Nevermore that was attacking them. "God damn it!" He yelled as he fired into a Beowulf. He quickly sped across towards his Humvee as machine gun began to fire once again into the enemy.
As quickly as their attack begun did it stop, bodies of the grim laid on the floor, smoke from the hunvees mounted machine gun poured out from the end of its barrel. As the men of Lewis's squad began to slowly raise their heads from behind their cover, Lewis could hear one answer that told him what everyone, including him, was thinking.
"Bloody Hell, how the hell are we alive?!" A soldier stated from behind one of the small concrete barriers they were used as cover.
Lewis quickly shook his head. "Millers! Get over here!" He ordered as a young man, aged 23 years of age, with a large radio backpack popped out from behind the Humvee and quickly sprinted over to Lewis. "Get on horn to command, ask them how long left till we have to pull out."
A few minutes later Millers had a answer. "Sir, we got confirmation that we are to pull out instantly, civilian evacuation is done and all troops are pulling out." Miller answered.
"Alright squad, we are leaving. Back to the transports!" Lewis ordered as the squad began to pull out from their hiding places.
Hours later Captain Price and the rest of his squad sat in a briefing room aboard the USS Barrack Obama. At the end of the table Admiral Stevenson stood. "Captain, I need you and your squad to infiltrate this location and take out a crucial target against the White Fang." Admiral Stevenson stated.
"With all due respect sir, what has this group done to us?" Angel asked.
"They've killed thousands of civilians in Vale... And they were the ones that you found in that warehouse in the forest..." The Admiral replied. The tension in the room quickly rose as the rest of the soldiers leaned forward in their seats, quite ready to get payback against the ones who hurt Royce.
"When do we leave?" Price asked as he stood up from his seat.
"4 hours." Stevenson replied.
Captain Price smoked his cigar as he flew on a Vale Millitary Bullhead towards the SAS's squads target, his left leg hanging on the side. He looked to his right to see his other Earth-born soldiers checked their gear. Ripper clicked in his machine guns clip into its magazine while Angel sat next to him checked his medical kit. Close-up sat across from them reading a black book with a a title of 'Ninja's Of Love'. Price cocked his head slightly 'Why is he...? Never mind.' He shook his head quickly as he turned to look over the forest they flew over.
"Five minutes till drop zone!" The pilot stated over the speaker. Price held up a thumb to him. Minutes later the Bullhead began to hover slightly above the ground as the squad jumped off. "Have fun , I'll be back when you radio for pick-up." And with that the Bullhead flew higher, turned and flew back towards the city. Price looked at his weapon and nodded.
"Alright boys, time to get some payback for Phantom." Price stated as he pointed his horizontal,flat, hand towards the way their objective. "Move out!"
AN: Yes, I know it was quite short, but as i said above, I couldn't really think about anything for this chapter. I'm really, really sorry about this chapter but hey, now that i'm back to writing this story, there will be more of it. BTW, I hope you all enjoyed that little cliffhanger ( If that even was a cliffhanger.) at the end. I hope you all have a amazing day. Goodbye, Rookie117
