(Two weeks after the events of the long war) "Joseph Beccue will you get up. We are suppose to report to General Keyes in 50 minutes." "Cassidy Fox calm down will ya. You said we got 50 minutes right. Base is only 20 minutes away. We only need 10 to get dresssed." "We are not doing it again. Now get up." "Ok fine." 30 minutes later. General Keyes is laughing as Nicks, Kinzie, and Renegade tell him how Fox over reacted this morning about getting here earlier. "I told you...." "You finish that sentence Joe you won't see any of this in your bed for a week." "Umm. Hey Kinzie hows the shoulder?" Kinzie looks at me "Good they gave me a shoulder made of metal." "Really sweet." General Keyes "ok enough chit chat. Y'all already have a new mission." "Your kidding General. We only got 5 people." "That will soon be fixed. Renegade tell them" Renegade smiles "well Nicks remember Wrecker right." "Yah of course. Wait is he are sixth man." Renegade laughs "yes." (Yeah I know not a lot if action yet but I'm setting the scene)
Wrecker walks out of a barracks. "Hey y'all remember me. I'm your new teammate." I smile "well cool. Ok General whats the mission." General Keyes looks at us and says "your going behind enemy lines and destroying a enemy supply depot. Now report to the armory and pick your weapons." I smile and run to the armory like a little kid about to pick his bday present. I get there and smile bigger then a kid in a candy shop. I grab a AK-47, 2 MP5 's, a Colt .45 Revolver, and a bowie knife.
Wrecker comes in next. And grabs a RPG-7 with 7 missles, a M4, and a colt g18. Nicks grabs a M-16, and a beratta 9mil. Renegade grabs a Vector sub machine and a Smith and Wesson .38 caliber revolver. Fox grabs a Beretta .50 Cal sniper rifle, a Vector sub machine gun, and a .45 colt pistol. Kinzie comes in last and grabs a M-249 SAW machine.
We all grab 3 frag grenades, 2 flashbang grenades, 2 semtex grenades, and 3 each of red, yellow, green, and purple smoke grenades. Wrecker being the demo expert on this mission is given 4 pounds of C4 plastic expolsives. Renegade as team medic is given a advanced medical kit. Nicks is given the team radio. "Ok squad one last thing before you go on your mission your callsign." "Well General what is it." "Your callsign is farmhouse. I will be lighthouse." Fox hesitates and says "Sir we kinda had a bad
Experience at a farmhouse. But if that must be our callsign that works. I guess" General Keyes looks at Fox "I was joking. Your callsign is really Zodiac. Mines astronomy."
Fox sighs "ok thats better." "Good now Lt.Beccue you are the leader of the squad. Because you showed excellent leadership at the farmhouse. Fox you've been promoted to Sgt 1st class. Your second in command." I smile "thank you sir. Anything else before we do this mission." "Yes unlike last mission you won't be fighting the Brazilians you will be fighting the British this time." "Oh bugger. They have better weapons." Wrecker frowns "is it just us going in?" "No a Irish unit will meet up with you two miles from the supply depot." I look at the General "Irish? When did they join the war?" "When a squadron of British bombers hit Dublin." General Keyes replied.
"Really. Damn all those kids" Fox says then holds her stomach. I notice this and don't say a thing about it. "What about the Scottish?" "Well they seceded from the British and joined the war on our side. Also we have been getting reports of decreased morale in England because the citizens are revolting against parliament declaring war on us" "Well that good. Ok guys lets go do this mission." Fox nods then walks up to me and whispers "we need to talk after this mission is done" "Ok. We will."
We get in the helicopter that will take us behind enemy lines. We land 3 miles from the supply depot. We walk a mile to where we are to meet the Irish squad. We wait 2 hours before finally they come running to meet us. "Zodiac squad Im guessing?" The squad leader says. "Yes."
"About bloody time we found you Yanks. Our chopper got shot down about 2 miles back. Lost the pilots and to of my squad members. Lucky the crew chief and gunner survived." "Yes very lucky. Now lets go get this job done. Shall we." "Yes of course." We walk the next mile and a half towards the enemy base. We stop on a high ridge with plenty of cover. Looking down at the enemy base I notice its more then a supply depot. Its a battalion HQ. "I was told we were only taking out a supply depot." The Irish squad leader replies "so was I. This doesn't look good mate." "Hell no it doesn't. Nicks get Astronomy on the radio tell our intel was way off the mark." Nicks radios the General who responds "A entire battalion HQ... JESUS CHRIST... that is not what intel said. Damn ok destroy what you can then get the hell outta there you copy that Zodiac." "Roger that General. Zodiac out" Fox looks at me "whats the plan Joe." I think "ok here's what were gonna do. Wrecker you me and Kinzie will go in undetected into the base. You will plant your explosives next to the petrol dump. Causing the most damage. Irish you take half your men and plant your explosives next to the armory." The Irish leader thinks "Good plan. I'll have my sniper cover my squad and have yours cover you. Then before the explosives we planted go off we fire all our combined rockets into enemy structures. Then throw our grenades all at the same time covering our retreat." "Hmm. Okay that should work out perfectly" (Will this plan work. Or will all the effort be for nothing find out all this and more tomorrow at 12 central)
Me, Wrecker, and Kins go towards the enemy base under the cover of dark. There's no sentry towers or fences up yet so it must be a new base. We get the the fuel dump. "Ok Wrecker place your explosives me and Kinzie will cover you." "Got Joe. Damn theres got to be at least 30000 gallons of petrol here. This is gonna be a big boom. How long should I set it for." "10 minutes." "Got it. Oh wow there is a basement under here boss. With.... holy crap they put napalm down here. I'm gonna plant my C4 down here." 2 minutes later Wrecker comes back up. "Lets get the hell outta here. This place gonna blow sky high." "Agreed lets go. Kinzie cover our rear." "Got it." I get on my handheld radio "Irish come in irish. " "Zodiac this is Irish. We planted our device. They had a basement with naplam under their ammo depot." "Really we had the same thing over here. We sent our C4 to 10 minutes over." "Roger that we sent ours for fifteen."
"Ok guys 2 minutes until the first big explosion." "Aye. I love fireworks. About you wank." "Yes I do. 1 minute. Ok Wrecker fire your first then Irish have your man fire right after Wrecker does."
"You got it." Wrecker fires is rockets just as the first C4 we placed explodes into a fireball so big we can feel the heat from 1 mile away. Then the Irishman fires his rockets as well. Soon the enemy activity in their camp is outrageous. Their running to put out the fires when the ammo dump blows. The fireball from the ammo dump is just as big as the first explosion. I look at the Irishman and say.the cheesiest line ever said in a movie "I love the smell of naplam in morning."
"That's a good movie my American friend." "Yes it is. Crap enemy spotted us. Fox kill a few and lets get the hell back to the evac zone." "Roger that Lt." Fox kills 10 enemy soldiers with 13 shots. Then we all run for it. I throw two to flash bangs behind me as I run to slow the enemy down. Soon the enemy is shooting at us as we run. "Kinzie take out some of those bastards will you." Kinzie looked back "I can't see them. " "Ok nvm then. Irishman lets get to the EZ quickly." Then I run up to Nicks and grab the radio and call the General. "Astronomy come in this is Zodiac over"
