The poacher base was heavily armed and armored, with walls surrounding the structures and hostiles on constant watch. To breach the base and take control would be a tough fight, but Alex had a plan. Depending on your point of view it was a simple plan, using a poacher jeep that was not destroyed and explosives that Can Do had not used, Alex would drive the jeep towards the poacher base and jump out at the last second. The explosives would then be detonated and blow a hole in the walls of the base allowing wolf forces to pour in. It was suggested that they could try to use the jeep to sneak into the base, but more than likely the poaching patrols would be made up of more than one person, and Alex was the only human so that plan wouldn't work. That's why as the afternoon sun shown down onto the base, a lone jeep raced down the road at top speed towards the base. Earlier in the day wolves had attacked the base and that attack had created a large crater near the road. This was done on purpose so Alex could jump out of the jeep and roll into the crater safe from gunfire. As the jeep sped down the road surprisingly it wasn't fired upon.
"They must think I'm one of their guys racing back for assistance" Alex thought as he neared the jump point. He opened the door slightly and locked the gas pedal then swung the door open, leaped out of the jeep and landed the bottom of the crater. The Poachers noticed this and started to fire on the jeep but the vehicle slammed into the wall. Toothdee was waiting with the detonator and as the vehicle crashed she pressed the button. A massive explosion shook the ground and sent Poachers flying as an orange fireball sprung to life. The smoke cleared quickly and revealed a massive charred gash in the walls of the compound. Alex jumped up from the crater and held a metal riot shield in front of himself.
"CHARGE!" Alex yelled as wolves on vehicles and on foot began to run at top speed towards the base, using shields for protection in the large plains. The Poachers were still recovering from the explosion and by the time they noticed the incoming wolves, the forces were already halfway to the base. The Poachers opened fire and managed to take out some of the wolves. Alex slowly moved forward with the shield in front of him, stopping bullets that were fired at him by the Poachers. The wolves linked up with Alex at the breach in the wall and took cover from hostile gunfire.
"Push up!" Alex said as the wolves used grenades to clear the path in front of them. Alex ran into the base and shot 2 poachers before taking cover behind a vehicle. This area of the base appeared to be a sort of garage where vehicles were refueled, repaired, and assigned to different missions. However at the moment a lot of the vehicles were up in flames with no one really trying to put them out. Alex aimed and fired at a gasoline barrel that promptly exploded near 2 Poachers. 3 more hostiles ran out of a nearby building and opened fire, but they were quickly dispatched by the large number of wolves that had entered the base. Toothdee came driving into the base on a speedor, taking out a poacher that was sniping from the wall as she joined Alex.
"Glad to see you finally joined the party" Alex said
"Wouldn't miss it"
"Alright, then lets push up to the command center"
Kate and Humphrey had been with the group of wolves that was attacking and they to joined Alex and toothdee on their way to the center of the base, while the other wolves fanned out all over the compound. As the squad entered a nearby building two poacher opened fire from behind desks and tables. The squad took cover and quickly shot the Poachers, then moved through the building. Up ahead was a sort of street that lead to the command center, and there were about a dozen poacher between the squad and their goal.
"I think there's a barracks near here, be prepared for a lot of enemies" toothdee said as she got down behind a crate. Alex fired at a wooden support beam and destroyed it, causing a few supply boxes to fall down atop a poacher. An enemy with a Molotov cocktail prepared to throw it at the squad, but Kate shot the cocktail in the mans hand, causing him and the building nearby to go up in flames. Some Poachers attempted to jump out of the burning building, but most of them had already caught on fire or were injured from the fall. As their numbers dwindled the Poachers started falling back as toothdee used a smoke grenade to disorient a few enemies so they could easily be eliminated. At the end of the road was a door that lead into the courtyard next to the command center. As Alex and toothdee kicked open the doors, 2 Poachers armed with LMGs shot down at them from a balcony in the command center building.
"take those guys down" Alex said as bullets whizzed by him. Toothdee took out her sniper rifle then quickly turned the corner and in a split second, aimed at the poachers head, and fired a few shots, killing him.
"One down" she said reloading.
Humphrey took a quick peak out of cover and when the poacher saw him he focused his fire on Humphrey. Alex took this moment to unload on the poacher, while he was disoriented Alex reloaded and fired again, managing to kill the poacher. There were still other enemies around and inside the base of operations and they had to be dealt with. The squad quickly ran though the door into the courtyard and took cover as the other Poachers opened fire. Alex kept popping out of cover and opened fire, killing his target then diving back into safety. A sniper appeared in the balcony overhead and fired, hitting Humphrey. Luckily the wound was not serious, and after Kate injected Humphrey with a medical syringe, he was back up and ready to go. Toothdee used her sniper to land headshots on the Poachers as Alex took out the hostile on the balcony. The cortyard was clear, now they had to clear the command center. Kate and Humphrey stood guard outside as another squad of wolves arrived to provide support. Alex and toothdee moved into the building and took fire from a few Poachers inside, but they were easy to dispatch. Inside a nearby office were 3 Poachers that were clad in gear and trophies from fallen animals. Teeth from mammals and reptiles were all over their uniforms and the weapons they used seemed to be decorated. One of the 3 was only using a gold pistol, but his outfit was even more elaborate than the other 2 Poachers. Decorative pictures of animals and weapons were embroidered all over his coat. Alex and toothdee assumed that the poacher with the pistol and patterns was the leader, and the other 2 were like his elite guard. The two elites moved towards Alex and toothdee while the leader stayed behind in the office. They began using grenades to try and force Alex and toothdee out of cover, in addition to using cover themselves. Alex emptied a whole clip of ammo on one hostile, but it didn't kill him. The poacher fired back and Alex took cover. He tried the same techniques, and this time he did enough damage to send the poacher collapsing to his knees. Meanwhile toothdee had used a grenade to deal massive damage and stager the other elite, then she followed up with a few headshots from her sniper rifle. The elites were dead, it was just the leader left. He deployed a smoke grenade and obscured the room, Alex and toothdee waited till they got a clear visual on the target. Suddenly there was loud gunfire that forced toothdee into cover. The leader slowly walked toward her, firing his pistol, then another gunshot rang out. The poacher leader stood still for a moment before hitting the floor, a bullet hole in his head. Alex blowed smoke from the barrel of his gun as the smoke grenade started to clear.
"The base is secure" Alex said. But then the two heard a familiar sound coming from outside. It sounded like, helicopter blades. The pair ran out onto the balcony to see a large helicopter hovering over the courtyard.
"Is that ours?" Toothdee asked. The helicopter turned to reveal a man in a mounted turret inside, and He opened fire at Alex and toothdee. Alex ran across the balcony as bullets struck the ground behind him. He jumped off the balcony and took cover as the helicopter kept firing.
"That's not ours!" Alex said.
"Poachers have helicopters now?!"
The chopper turned again and opened fire on the wolves below, hitting and killing s lot of them. Kate and Humphrey ran out of the courtyard to safety when the helicopter trained its attack towards them.
"I have an idea" Alex said. "We can't engage the turret directly because it's shielded, but the other door of the helicopter is open. If we can get around and fire in through that door, we can hit the man on the turret"
"Good idea. But one of us will need to distract the helicopter while the other person lines up a shot"
"Stay down and get up to the second floor of that building" Alex said as he jumped out of cover and fired at the helicopter. The turret began to fire at Alex as he ran into another building that made up the courtyard. Toothdee snuck around to the building on the other side of the courtyard, and climbed up to the second floor. Alex was also taking cover in the second floor of the building he was in, and he took a few shots at the helicopter to draw its fire. The turret was just meters away from Alex, and firing nonstop. Toothdee took aim through the open helicopter door, and fired. The man at the turret instantly dropped and the gunfire stopped. The helicopter hovered their for a moment while the pilot realized what happened. Alex quickly stood up and fired into the helicopter, hitting the pilot. The body of the pilot leaned forward and pressed the control stick, causing the helicopter to move towards the building Alex was in. As the chopper got closer Alex jumped off the balcony of the building, landed in the courtyard and ran and the helicopter slammed into the building and exploded. Everything grew quiet for a moment as toothdee, Kate and Humphrey rejoined Alex.
"Looks like we did it" toothdee said.
"Yeah, score another victory" Alex said as cheers erupted from wolves all across the base.
