Resident Evil Modern Warfare II: Operation Deadbolt
Chapter 21
Ava walks into Ops with the others waiting for Jills debrief.
"What did you find exactly in the rift Jill?" she asked.
Jill then emptied out her rucksack of the golden armor plates, VR-11 and Aether Blade.
"The Dark Aether is an entirely different plane of existence. There's some sort of entity that inhabits it. It was on my ass the whole time. Speaking in loud whispers. It seems the Dark Aether takes form of other locations known on the globe. This one seems to be of Al Mazrah. Safe to assume any future rifts that pop up will lead to other regions of that area. If this Dark Aether is where the Aetherium comes from, we need to shut down the rifts before they open the floodgates of the undead onto this universe. Otherwise it'll be a full scale invasion." she explains.
"Indeed you are right Jill. The Dark Aether has spilled into our before, whatever this entity is, it seems to be in control of the undead. We need to be on high alert. Increase our containment efforts and find a way to seal the rifts of the Dark Aether." said Ravenov.
"It still leaves the problem of Fletcher and Terminus. Intel suggests he's taken his men on a mining operation of the Aetherium to sell on the black market and we still have no word on the whereabouts of Viktor Zakhaev." said Greene.
"Our paths will cross again. Trust me. If he saw that portal from the Dark Aether, he'll send Terminus after it like bloodhounds on a scent. That's when we snatch him!" said Jill.
"Hmm. Like the way you think Jill." said Greene.
"That now leaves our second order of business. Ever since Jill killed Legacy Baranov, it's left a power vacuum within Terminus. Been getting reports of other Warlords in the EZ with a heavy Terminus occupation. Dokkaebi over in a construction tower within Zaravan city, Keres at Orlov Military base and Rainmaker at one of the Manors. I Suggest we go after Dokkaebi first." said Soap.
"Dokkaebi. A real nutjob. Remind her that tech doesn't do so well against bullets." said Greene.
"Dobbs said she hacked his drone and into his own file. She's the real deal." said Soap.
"How's her security? She well fortifeid?" asked Jill.
Soap wipes the touch screen tablet table showing photos of her occupation within Zaravan.
"Reports claim of bomb drones, sentry guns and wheelsons patrolling the main entrance towards the elevators going straight up. She'll know you're coming for her."
"What if I ziplined up a nearby building and across to the tower? She won't know I'm coming if her defenses don't go off." suggested Jill.
"Stealth route? Keep going." said Greene.
"I can sneak up from behind her, take out her turrets and drones and go for the kill shot. I'll need a strike team of operators that'll push up from below and offer backup to clean out Terminus to finish the job quicker. Just need something to fry her tech." said Jill.
Soap then thought of an idea.
"Miller. I heard she has a weapon just for the job. Calls it the stormender. Call it a bug zapper but for high tech weapon fortifications."
"Then I'll be needing that. Once I fry her security, I want ground forces to clear a path to the main entrance with the weapon and meet me up top. Gonna be a lot of Terminus in my way." said Jill.
"Which is why I'll be heading with you. You won't be out there alone. Nae without overwatch. I'll take the nearby cranes and give you covering fire. Dokkaebi tries to run? I'll stop her in her tracks." said Soap.
"Both of you prep for infil, head to Miller for the Stromender and whatever else you need. Good luck." said Greene.
One Hour Earlier...
"Alright, everything looks good from here. Drone is bingo fuel. Returning to base."
Dobbs' drone then got some hacking interference.
"Hey stretch? How's the weather up there?" asked Dokkaebi.
"What the? Who the hell is this?" asked Dobbs.
"You know, you should really consider joining the private sector. You wouldn't have to debate yourself with that piece of shit tin can you're flying." said Dokkaebi.
"Lady, I don't know what you're playing at, but you better get off this channel or you're about to have the US Government right up your..."
Dokkaebi hacks herself further
"I'm not worried about Uncle Sam. He's too busy auctioning off 'The American Dream' piece by piece, for little old me."
"I'm warning you, get off..."
Dokkaebi then pulled up Dobbs' personal file.
"Lucas Dobbs. Born in Kokomono, Indiana, to Judy and Keith Dobbs on May twenty-fourth, nineteen ninety-five. Wow. Looks like the US Air Force has been a Dobbs family tradition for generations. Awwwww too bad you outgrew the opportunity. Literally."
"Jokes on you smartass I got a lock on your signal. Prepare to.."
Dokkaebi made herself disappear by hacking her location off the map.
"Wh..What the fuck?"
"Missing something? Oh no! Where's my target acquisition? I could have sworn I had it a moment ago."
"How the hell did you...?"
"Don't you worry your pretty little head about it. Oh and just so you know, I've been recording chat, it's gonna be a big hit at the next office party. Better luck next time stretch."
Present Time
Jill and Soap head towards Zaravan city to the apartment complex next to Dokkaebi's fortress.
"Dokkaebi may be compulsive and arrogant, but she is no less lethal than the others. Her fortress is ahead. Watch the skies." said Ravenov.
"You heard him. On you Jill."
She nods and the two pull put ascending hooks to latch onto the rope leading them up and across to their respective positions. Soap takes a sniping position with his FJX Imperium scoping out the area ahead.
"Got a visual on the target Jill. She's got sentries perched up high. Terminus flanked around every corner. Got the Stormender ready?"
"All set. Heading across now."
"Find some cover when you do. Got an incoming patrol heading your way."
Jill ziplines onto the tower in position ready to kick things off.
"All stations: MacTavish and Valentine in position. Status on ground team?"
"Strike Team is entering now. Waiting for your word" said Ravenov.
"How am I looking Soap?"
"Got two guys ahead. Shouldn't be a problem."
"Be a gentleman and clear a girl a path would ya?"
Soap takes aim with the sniper.
"Mission go in 3...2...1 *Sniper shot*"
"Strike Team, weapons hot!"
The Strike Team make a run towards the elevator as Jill got to work battling Terminus upwards to Dokkaebi.
Soap picked off one Terminus merc at a time giving Jill a red carpet path towards Dokkaebi. Jill managed to reach her as she goes for the turrets and drones with the stormender rifle.
"Trying to grief me? My drones will use you for target practice"
"It's over Dokkaebi. Hands in the air now!"
"Let's see how you do against my UAVs!"
Dokkaebi called in backup as Jill goes for cover and pulls out an MCW assault rifle with a red dot and 60 round box mag. She goes to thin out the herd while taking pot shots at Dokkaebi.
"Damn bitch is tough!" said Jill hitting her body armor.
"She's on the move Jill, I'll snipe these bastards while you advance!" said Soap.
Jill fights her way in pursuit of Dokkaebi with Soap's help as she boxes her in.
"Dokkaebi!"
"Didn't think you'd make it this far Jill."
"Hands up or You get one right between your eyes!"
"Oh you're such a buzzkill. But it's been fun. See you later!"
Dokkaebi calls in a swarm of drones to lift her up and fly away towards the other end of the roof construction site.
"Johnny, she's airborne!"
"Maintaining a clear shot. She's heading for the other end of the site. Suggest you intercept.
Jill then sees a nearby drone targeting her and decides a desperate tactic.
"She's not getting away"
Jill leaps onto the drone and steers it towards Dokkaebi herself.
"Jill? What in the fuck are you doing? You insane?"
"Maybe a little, but I have her in my sights."
Jill fires at the drones causing Dokkaebi to fall next to more Terminus mercs. Jill clears them out as Soap aids her providing a clear landing. Jill jumps off and rolls on the ground to pin her.
"Why didn't my swarm save me?"
"It's over Dokkaebi."
Jill aims the barrel of her gun at Dokkaebi's head and goes for the headshot.
"Jill, Strike Team's on site for clean up. Status on Dokkaebi?" asked Soap.
"Enemy KIA" she replied.
"Dokkaebi laughed in the face of death. This is where arrogance leads you." said Ravenov.
Jill goes to claim Dokkaebi's sniper rifle as her own. But she then notices something on her uniform. On one arm sleeve she had the Terminus logo patch. On another...something else.
"What the fuck? Johnny? Get here quick. You're not gonna believe this."
"En route."
Soap parachutes across towards the site and catches up to Jill.
"Jill? What is it?" he asked.
"Dokkaebi wasn't just working for Terminus."
"Who else then?" he asked.
Jill kneels down to show Soap the patch on her other sleeve to which Soap immediately recognized.
"Konni Group?"
Jill nods as the Strike Team finish up and prep for exfil.
