The 8th Battalion got transferred to another base on the other side of the continent. When they heard about the incident with the Army Unit they where immediately called upon and sent out.
In one of the 4 V-22 Stormcutter where the two Brothers. The Marines had send them and their Battalion to secure a Village and assist the Army unit there which came under heavy fire. No one knew that the "Unit" was one single person.
"Everybody 3 Mikes" Yelled the Loadmaster.
"We gonna take this W?" Asked Alex with an stupid grin.
"You spend way to much time on that stupid app, what's it called Tik Tak?" Replied Ryan.
"Hey! Its Tik Tok and i'm not that long on it, now am i?" The whole cabin was silent after they heard Alex's statement.
"You serious Alex?" Asked Ramirez, who sat opposite of him.
"Yeah, like dude, you spend more time on that phone than any of us here" Said Sergeant Kowalski, who sat next to Ramirez.
"I am your Older brother but they are right" Said Ryan and sacked Alex in the shoulder.
"Brace for Landing, 1 mike"
"Alright Ladies, listen up. The first thing we do when we get of this thing is secure a perimeter and then move as soon as possible into the Village. The eggheads said, the Army Unit has entrenched themselves in that village. They also said that the Unit got decimated pretty good so don't expect many of our guys" Informed Ramirez.
"Searge, take the Jaeger Brothers, and the Charlie Squad with you and secure a way towards that Village" Ordered Ramirez.
"Yes sir" Answered Kowalski.
The V-22 landed on the hard ground and the ramps opened. Marines stormed out the Birds like their life depended on it.
"Charlie Squad and Jaeger Brothers on me!" Yelled Kowalski and the mentioned guys ran up to him.
"Okey, our objective is it to secure a safe passage way towards that Village. Watch out for any mines or signs of Ambushes. I don't want to tell anybody's mom that her son died under my command. All good?"
"Yes sir!"
"Alright, move out"
12 Marines made their way towards the Village. On their way they encountered many dead bodies. Mainly insurgents. "Mainly" because there're also civilians which got caught in the crossfire.
A couple of hundred meters further out, they saw the Trench dug by the Army.
"See that guys, this is the Trench the Army dug some time ago" explained Kowalski.
"Holy mother of god... how could anyone survive this?" Asked the Squadleader from Charlie Squad.
They saw Berkian Army bodies all over the place. Some torn apart others couldn't be identified as bodies anymore.
Kowalski gave the ordere to move further out. They let the trench behind them and saw the Village.
"This is White Dagger-3 for Friendlies in that Village. Anybody home?" Asked Kowalski through his Radio.
"White Dagger-3, heres Corporal Astrid 10th Army TF77. I'm inside the village in the first house. The house has no roof"
"Roger that Corporal, hold fire we're coming in"
"Roger"
Once arrived at the House, the Marines lined up at the door, or what was left of it. Kowalski called up one of the Squadmembers. He went to the door and kicked it in. Instead of the door flying inwards it collapsed and fell apart. Kowalski was the first who entered, closely followed by Alex.
A gun barrel poked over a fallen wardrobe. Kowalski recognized the Birdcage Flash hider and the ACOG scope on the rifle.
"Blue Blue!" He yelled. Signaling to Astrid that he was here and signaling to his Marines to not fire at the person.
Astrid poked her head over her makeshift cover and had an relieved face expression. She sighed and stood up.
"Good to see you guys. Don't know how long i could've stayed here alone"
"Good to see you too... alive. By the way, where are the others?" Asked Kowalski.
"What others?" Asked Astrid.
"You want to tell us you're the only Survivor?" Asked Ryan Baffled.
"Yeah..." She answered with a long sigh at the end.
Kowalski took his Radio and wanted to give the info through when it crackled up.
"White Dagger-3 here White Dagger Actual, Paratroopers are incoming. ETA 30 mikes" came the voice from Ramirez.
"Got you, loud and clear. The path is clear tho we have a problem" Said Kowalski.
"What happened?"
"Well.. nothing so far but the problem is that we have only one Survivor"
"What?!" Asked Ramirez, almost screaming at his radio.
With Ramirez:
"Alright ladies. White Dagger-1 and 2 stay here and pop some smoke to mark the Drop zone for the 22nd Airborne. The rest on me" Ordered Ramirez.
The Marines marched towards the Village, some had MK-19 strapped across their backs and others had Mortars which would make the defense of the village easier.
With Ryan and Alex:
Ramirez and the other Marines arrived at the village. They immediately began with clearing it from any stragglers left from the initial attack.
"Hey Lt. We found her in here. She says she's the only one left" Informed Kowalski as Ramirez entered.
Ramirez Nodded in recognition and just wanted to say something when the Radio crackled up.
"White Dagger this is Hipster Actual, How copy?"
"Hipster here White Dagger. Good copy, sent traffic"
"We have an MQ-90 for Battlefield awareness in the Air, Call sign Sky eye. Call us if you need something. Over"
"Roger that Hipster Actual"
"Lieutenant, The paras are here. They're currently landing"
"Staff Sergeant Brown, rally up with them and come here" Said Ramirez.
"Wilco Lieutenant"
"Drop zone is the Green smoke. Don't miss it everything around it is enemy land. After you landed, rally up with the Marines and move to the Village. This Village is our Final rally point. If you still manage to miss the Drop zone somehow, move to the Village" Informed 2nd Lieutenant Miller.
"20 seconds!" yelled the Loadmaster. The Back hatch opened and the Paratroopers stood ready at the exit and waited for the signal to jump.
Then the light turned green. "Go, Go, Go, Go" yelled the Loadmaster and the first soldiers jumped out.
"Let's kick some Outcast Ass brother" Said Ruffnut to her Brother and they made their Fistbumb and jumped out.
"Thanks for the ride" said 2nd Lieutenant Miller and jumped off the plane. The back hatch closed again and the plane made a U-turn back to the Airbase it came from.
64 Paratroopers dropped like rain from the sky. The Marines on the Ground Watching and securing the Drop Zone.
A new voice came through the Radio. "Uuh White Dagger this is Sky eye. You have massive enemy movement. They're at least 500. Tanks and several other Vehicles included"
"Shit..." Mutted Ramirez. "Understood Sky eye"
"Hipster actual, this is White Dagger. We need CAS at this time. At least 500 enemies with Armor heading for our position. Over" Said Ramirez.
"Roger that White Dagger. We have an AC-250 on Standby and loading it up for you. ETA 20 mikes. Over" came the response.
"The first good news i heard today" Said Ramirez to no one in particular.
Alex, Ryan and Private Glen Davis, one of the Marines from the Charlie Squad, where in an conversation about Dragons.
"I mean, yeah it's a Monstrous Nightmare but my SAW can still rip through its scales so yeah, it ain't the toughest" Said Alex.
"If we're talking about tough we go with the Gronckle, i mean these things tank bullets for lunch and Manpads for dinner" Said Glen.
"But if you want all, Speed, strength and toughness then you might want to take the Nightfury" joined in Ryan.
"Bro... you know it's just a myth" Said Alex. Almost in a bored tone.
"Well, i believe in that myth. And as your Older brother i order you to believe in it too" said Ryan in a Joking tone.
"You my beloved brother can suck my balls. We have the same rank" Said Alex and sacked his brother in the shoulder, laughing.
"Jaeger!" Yelled Ramirez from outside.
"Which one?" Asked the two brothers at the same time.
"Both of you. Outside now!" Ordered Ramirez. Glen started to laugh.
"Ha! What did you guys do?" Asked Glen laughing.
"Simple... we exist" said Alex. Which earned him a slap from Ryan.
"Davis hold that damn laugh and get your Ass outside too!" Yelled Ramirez. The Jaeger brothers laughed and fist bumped.
Once outside they saw Paratroopers and the lonely Army soldier next to the Lieutenant.
"Yes sir?" Asked Ryan when they reached the others.
"This is 2nd Lieutenant Miller. He gave us 2 of his Paras. Take them, this Army girl and patrol along the northern Border of the Village. Ryan you take position in that Clocktower and provide overwatch with the Sniper. If you get In come with the enemy then immediately report back to me and hold the position. We have an Paratrooper QRF team on Standby. In about 15 mikes we should get support from an Gunship. You Ryan are in charge of them. Your Call sign's Recon-2"
"So there are more of these teams?" Asked Ryan.
"Yes. Always 4 Marines and 2 Paras. Except you guys have the Army chick with you"
"Understood sir. Alright, Recon-2 rally on me!" Ordered Ryan.
"This guy is in charge of us?" Asked Tuffnut his Sister.
"Yeah... what kind of a joke is this?" She said.
"If you two goofy Motherfuckers don't like it then-" Began Alex but got stopped by Ryan.
"Just move it" Ryan said sighing.
