Chapter 7- Incident [Redacted] (2)
"Help!"
"Brother? Alex?!" Yelled Ryan in shock as Alex collapsed to the ground...
..."He sacrificed himself so that we could get out safely. I inspected his wounds while Snotlout covered me. I saw multiple bullet wounds in his Torso and abdomen"...
"Snotlout, go get the others. I need Fishlegs' Med-pack. Now!" Ordered Ryan while holding the blood wounds as good as he could. "And ask for an Med-Evac" He added. Snotlout nodded and ran off.
"Come on Brother. It ain't your time yet. Please hold on, don't go. I still need you Brother. Please" Ryan said, his voice broken and teary eyes.
"There he is!" Came the yell from Snotlout when he rounded the corner. "What happened!?" Cried out Hiccup. His face shocked. The squad halted in their tracks when they saw the devastation. The death and destruction shook them to their core.
"Don't stand there like some fucking Trees. Come here and Help me for fucks sake!" Yelled Ryan with his still broken voice. Fishlegs ran up to him and unloaded his bags and began searching for the proper medical material to treat Alex' wounds.
"Ryan... i think-" Fishlegs began but got cut off by Ryan.
"Don't you FUCKING dare!" He lashed out. "I'm NOT gonna lose him no matter what" He added.
Fishlegs began to pack Alex' bullet wounds and called the others for help. Astrid and Snotlout jumped forward and pressed on Alex' wounds to keep his blood inside...
..."Gods i almost killed Fishlegs that day when he said that" said Ryan Chuckling to the Agent...
..."Ryan he lost a lot of Blood and i have only so much. He might need an Infusion" Said Fishlegs still packing wounds.
"I'll do what ever is necessary" replied Ryan.
Suddenly they hered the familiar sound of the Boneknapper Med-Evac. "Station this is Kilo-1 we have Visual on EVOS. Deploying PJs. Over"
"Roger that Kilo-1 bring them home"
"EVOS this is Kilo 1-1 we're coming down" Said the squad leader of the PJs.
The side doors opened on the Boneknapper and 4 bags where thrown out. Then ropes came down and 6 men in Special unit attire fast roped down. Immediately they ran up to the group and began tending to Alex. The Boneknapper flew a couple of laps around the general Area and landed shortly after...
..."We got Alex out of there. Gods i'm thankful for the guys from the 130th that they had some of them on base that day. And without the PJs i'm not sure if he would have made it"...
..."You guys need to come with us! A battalion of Marines is coming to secure this district. Command wants you guys home" Said one of the PJs while injecting Morphine into Alex' blood.
After Alex was in an somewhat stable condition they packed him up and jumped into the Helicopter and took off...
..."And everything from there on out is History" said Ryan. Agent Sanchez took the recorder and pressed stop and stopped the recording. He stuffed the little piece of tech into his bag and turned again to Ryan.
"Lieutenant, look. I have something to tell you. There have been multiple reports of pieces of equipment going missing. Stuff we captured, Guns, Explosives and even vehicles. I want you to keep your eyes open and tell me anything you find. We might have a Mole and he's most likely the one responsible for this incident"
Ryan's eyes widened at the claim Sanchez made. "You really think?" He asked.
"No. I know we have one. If we don't find him then the National Security is at risk especially when he's a member of our Armed forces" Replied Sanchez.

"Call Doctor Schroeder. We need him at Surgery 4" Yelled a nurse while pressing down on one of Alex' wounds. The PJ's where pushing the bed Alex was laying on and helping with taking care of him. Ryan also on his side also pressing down on another wound.
Doctor Schroeder ran out of the elevator, next to him the nurse who was tasked to call him. "Surgery 4! Move it!" Ordered Schroeder.
"Out of the Way!"
"Move it! Move it!"
"Next crossing right"
"Press down that fucking wound! He's losing to much blood"
"Gabriella, get the Defibrillator. Just in case and bring it to the 4"
"Yes doctor"
"Lieutenant you need to wait here. Only Hospital personal" Said one Nurse as she held off Ryan.
"What? My brother is there damnit! Let me through!"
Just as Ryan wanted to tackle down the nurse 2 pair of Hands held him of and pulled him back. He turned around and pulled his side arm when he realized who it was. Snotlout and Astrid pulled him back to not do something stupid.
"Let them Ryan. They will save him"

"Hello? Anybody there"
"Helloo? Ryan? Hic?"
The room was dark. So dark in fact one couldn't even see their hand infront of them.
"Hello Alex" said a voice behind the Soldier. He whipped his head around but saw nothing. Pure black engulfed the Soldier.
"Identify yourself! Who are you?" Asked Alex.
"You don't remember the voice of our old man? Ouch" said the voice in a mock hurt tone.
"F... Father? What...? How?" Alex now was completely bewildered. "Am i dead?" He asked.
"I don't think so son. But you sure gave it your best shot eh" said the Voice with a chuckle at the end.
"What is happening? With me then?" Asked Alex.
"Well... for starters i think your brain is tricking you into thinking that i'm actually here talking to you, so that you ran to your brother and tell him that you talked to me. The other thing is most likely that your in a coma from the physical damage you endured during your little charade with these insurgents"
"Wait... how you know that?" Asked alex.
"Son, my current form is only a product of your subconsciousness. I see, hear, feel and know everything you do. Your mind is just putting my voice instead of yours. I bet the docs over there are preparing to wake you in a couple of minutes"
"Aren't you supposed to prep-talk me to not give up or something like that?"
"Who me? Nah... in fact i'm the last person you would get a prep-talk from"
"What why?" Alex lifted an eyebrow, though he wasn't sure if the gesture was seen in the pitch black environment which was his subconsciousness.
"I never was any good with words. I always let actions speak for me. The same thing you do. So wake up now and kick these insurgent asses son"

Ryan and the others from EVOS squad minus Alex stood in the Command waiting for further instructions for their next operation. Alvin waited for the Drone footage to be analyzed and had a plan already in back of his head when one of the base security officers spoke up from his terminal he was working from.
"Sir! SEWS just jumped online!" Called the Soldier. Alvin turned pale as he stared into the soldiers face. "It's fucking spring! No Ice bridges should be on the ocean right now!" Replied Alvin with more force than necessary.
"Hold up! Let's start from the beginning, what the hell is SEWS?" Asked Ryan. The EVOS squad equally as bewildered. The soldier turned from his table to address them. "SEWS is short of Stinger Early Warning System"
"Okay... did i miss something or did Stinger missiles evolve to become Ground attack munitions now or what?"
"No, not these Stingers. There's a Dragon species called the Speed Stinger. It's a bipedal flightless dragon who's fast as hell" explained the soldier.
"So they're basically the Velociraptor of the Dragons" said Fishlegs behind Ryan.
"Practically yeah. We measured one of these bastards with 115 Km/h (AN: I made that up since i haven't found anything besides Speed:30) and it wasn't even its top speed. They normally come over the winter when a ice bridge is created between Mainland berk and Dragon Island. They're nocturnal with excellent Nightvision capabilities. They have a scorpion like tail with a stinger at the end which injects a powerful neurotoxin which paralyzes you in a matter of seconds. They then proceed to pull you into their den and each you alive. You are paralyzed but you can still feel everything. These things operate in groups of 20-30 specimens with one leader. The Alpha. The Alpha has control over the others and gives orders to either attack or retreat. But their strength is also their weakness. We take out the alpha, the whole group won't have a leader and they ain't capable of thinking for their own so they're easy kill"
"Well... what we doing against it?" Asked Snotlout.
"Sent out a general alert for all base personelle. Everyone should get themselves a rifle and report to the next highest officer and set up for Defense. I want the helos in the air" Ordered Alvin.
"The transports or Attack helicopters?" Asked the soldier simultaneously sending out the alert.
"Yes!"
The Security officer sent out the alert and the sirens went off and a robotic female voice rang throughout the base. [All base personelle to battlestations. Prepare for a Stinger attack]
Suddenly another voice came from the other side of the room. One of the Drone operators had the "group" in her sights.
"Sir... we have a big problem" She said. Not turning from her screen.
"What is it Lieutenant? Spit it out" Ordered Alvin who already was on edge.
"We have multiple groupings of them approaching. About 2 dozen of 'em. And their walking... no, running on the water".
At this moment Alvin was many things but happy wasn't one of them. He took a radio and called to the ground crew preparing the AH-85 Attack helicopter.
"Peterson, Scramble the reload and rearm all Gronckles with Anti-Personelle Hydra Rockets. And replace the chainguns with our .50 Cal Gatlings"
The reply came quick and the Ground Crew leader didn't sound happy. "WHAT? And you come with it Now? Are you kidding me?! We need at least half an hour to rearm the Hydra Rockets!"
"Peterson... just do it. We'll hold them off 'till your ready. On and another thing. Keep one of the Gronckles in the back line. We might need to engage Protocol 14"
"14?" Mouthed Astrid towards Hiccup, who just shrugged.
Alvin put down the radio and addressed EVOS. "You guys link up with the ARD. They'll help you with armament and positioning for the attack. Move it people"
A unified "Yessir" came from the squad. They walked out.
Several minutes later the whole Base was in uproar as Tanks, IFVs, personelle and hundreds of other pieces of equipment where stationed along the shoreline of Berk. The EVOS squad had linked up with the ARD, Army Reconnaissance Division of Berk. One of the other Special forces of Berk. They specialized in stealthy entries in foreign Countries, gathering intelligence and staying low to not be captured. If captured Berk would deny their existence. They where these forces who would be sent weeks or months before an Invasion/Attack started to gather all intelligence of the defenses of the Enemy. They'd keep low and stay inside the country disguised as either an Soldier or a Civilian of that opposing country.
These guys where now tasked with defending a section of beach along side EVOS. And ARD hated EVOS. Up until the EVOS squad was founded, ARD was the top notch Spec ops force of Berk and had all the nut-tingling Black Ops missions for themselves. ARD was definitely bigger than EVOS with 200 members they where about 20x bigger than EVOS which had 12.
"Captain" greeted the leader of ARD-15 with a not happy tone.
"Captain" greeted Hiccup back. The silence after the two leaders greeted each other was deafening.
"Okay y'all... let's just go... aaand set up at our defensive position. How does that sound?" Fishlegs broke the silence. "I'd love to do that" Said Hiccup. His icy glare still focused on the leader of ARD-15.
ARD-15 had some heavy fire power with em. They had M2 Ma Duce heavy Machine guns. 2 of them. 2 M240 bravo crew served general purpose machine guns and more than enough under-barrel Grenade launcher munitions to lay waste to the whole base.
When it came to defense, Alex was everyone's first choice. No matter which unit all wanted him. But EVOS got him. The only problem now was that even if you had the best Machine gunner in the whole Berkian Military, he was no use to you if injured.
"Alright ladies and ladies, since this is your first time dealing with Speed stingers, here's a quick break down on what to do and more importantly what NOT to do.
First of all, these things ain't dead if they're moving. Even if you put 10 rounds into one of em and they still move then give em another 10. Dosen't matter.
Second point, do NOT engage in CQC. You will lose. These bastards ever fight alone. So we won't either.
Third point. This ones for you sniper boy. If you see one of them with a red fin on its head, shoot that one. That's their alpha. Without him these guys are pretty useless.
And fourth and most important point. Try to not get stung"
EVOS deadpanned at the last statement. "Thank you... that last one is very fucking helpful" Said Snotlout. His words dripping of sarcasm.
Suddenly, Ryan's phone rang. "What the?"
"Ryan Jaeger here"
"Lieutenant, FBDA. Agent Ramirez here. I got a clue"
After that Ryan walked a couple of steps away from the group.
"Who do you think he's talking to?" asked Tuff. Everyone just shrugged as they watched Ryan walking in circles and talking to his phone.
"alright, shoot it"
"Captain Hiccup haddock was seen talking to someone on his phone, only minutes before the Mission started. You need to find out who he was talking to, but don't overdo it yeah? You know he's the Pres' Son"
"Understood Agent. See ya"
"Yup"
