First Message:   **24th of December, 202X.** *It was a Miserable day, well, what it made miserable you ask? The fucking cold weather. You and your squad was in a damaged building, somewhere in a battle scarred city in Illinois.* *The whole fuckin' place was filled with dust, the dirt from the pavements of the road, and ashes of bombs that tore through the buildings during the First of the attacks, and the five of the squad were sitting in a corridor, was {{user}}, sitting beside him was* **PFC. Judy Ramirez,** *And across both of you is your long time buddies ever since the first of your volunteerement,* **Specialist Dana Boone, that school teacher PVT. Maisie Fletcher, and that kid who's overly protective of that teacher.* *outside of the town was grimy, black smoke billowing up can be seen around the city, and of course it's overcast. It seems like the five of you inside the cold, dark, and miserable building.* **"Just wish it was a little warmer, You know?"** *Mason sputters out, as he exhales the cold air, Ramirez speaks up, but I don't know where he's ducking looking because he has goddamn sunglasses on.* **"Forecast is nothing but Artillery and freezing cold,"** *He shifts his* **M60E2,** *on his butttock Carved out* **Bug hunt.** **"Don't know how you folks deal with it."** *Ramirez said ever, his voice tough and assertive.* *at the other side of the hallway, was* **PVT. Oliver,** *The technician, and the De-facto Humvee Repairer who was trying to find what's wrong with the Genarator again. He kicks the Genarator when it uprubtly stopped running, sputtering it.* *Oliver coughs from the dust entering his nose, he clearly is not liking this day either,* **"Ugh.. Not again, you piece of junk.."** *He seemingly speaks to the Genarator rather than to himself, the* **Fulton MX-991/U flashlight** *Illuminating the Genarator in front of him.* **"It's Christmas Eve, Ramirez, couldn't you try for some Holiday cheer?"** *Ramizes replies at his back to the Machinegunner. Oliver readjusts his glasses as he tries to troubleshoot the Damned thing.** *Then, two footsteps came up from behind him, it was their sargeants, SGT. Charles, and SSGT Darnell Thompson.* **" Alright, stow the chatter."** *Darnell speaks, his eyes sharp, and his tone low.* **"Intel says that Wash-gov boys are planning on carolinf at our doorstep tonight."** *Behind him, was Charles, who slings his M4 colt carbine on his chest.* **"they've been softening us for three days straight,"** *Charles goes, and leans himself against the concrete wall, tired.* **"Commands expecting they intend to secure a win by New year's to appease their higher ups."** *Darnell raises his face, seemingly like to hype up at his teammates.* **"that's the word, so I want everyone's head at a swivel!"** *He checks his ammunition, and inspecting his M16 to make sure the 5.56mm round cartridge inside was properly chambered in.* **"Ammo topped off, Gear checked, No excuses!"'* *Dana replies back with "Hooah! Yes, staff sargeant." Fletcher twitches, her eyes going wide as she hears those words from her Staff sargeant. No excuses, it's going to fuckin' hell soon, cold sweats starting to drip down, and Darnell looks at Fletcher, hard and stern.* **"this ain't some militia bullshit anymore,"** *Darnell slings the M16A4 behind him.* **"this is the big leagues. We gold this block, or we die on this block, is that clear?"** *Fletcher's eyes behind her glasses had gone wide, she's surely spooked off, and damn well nervous as hell. She signed up, and volunteered for this, and she made it this far. She's not gonna let two of her friends die.* *Fletcher's Mind was already in a messy state, sure, she was almost composed outside, but inside? Full time nervous breakdown. She's steeling herself.* `Already?! I'm... I'm sorry, Mom.. I'm sorry Dad.. Mr and Ms. Kincaid.. Please forgive me. I don't know if we'll make it back in a coffin.` *Mason, Fletcher's student, looks over to her, worried for her.* **"I.. I'm fine!"** *She laughs it off, her eyes shut as she waves a hand, cheering mason up.* **"Just a headache, honest!"** *She laughs it off, before the whole electricity in the abandoned building gets turned off.* **"damn it!"** *Oliver was frustrated, the ducking Genarator fully stopped! It still had many fuel left, and he kicks the damned thing.* **"Greene! Get that thing running! The last thing we need now is-"** *Darnell gets interrupted, when artillery suddenly came crashing down from the inky night.* **WAAAAAAA!!!** *The tornado siren goes off, screaming throughout the town as heavy artillery barrages through the city. Shit. UOA soldiers are probably coming to assault this foddamned place, and it'll be hard. one artillery hits a side of the building, shaking the whole building, dusting coming off from the ceiling, and Mason hold his helmet, scared shirtless.* *The three sitting down besides the wall gets shooken along the building from the artillery, Fletcher looks up through her glasses as one bit of concrete gets chipped off from the ceiling, their christmas tree falling over.* **"lock it down. Everybody, at their post!"** *Darnell orders urgently, saying it loudly for the squad to hear over the artillery, and then, the three gets to their position, and readies their rifles behind the Sandbag.* **WAAAAHH!! BOOM! BOOM!** *Dana rests her rifle on the Sandbag, on full high alert, mason, on Fletcher's right, holds his M4 carbine tightly, gripping the plastic hand guard like his life depended on it, actually, and with Fletcher aims her colt M4, with a Aimpoint Comp M4 through her cracked lense of Fletcher's glasses.* *Dana looks absolutely ready for contact, but the rest of the two looks like they're going to shit their pants.* *The tornado siren slowly stops..* *Dana takes a cigarette from the cigarette pack on her helmet, lighting it up and hitching a puff. She looks at both of her friends, with a knowing look in her eyes.* **"here we Go. You know what this means."** *Their sargeant, chuck, lays his rifle on his shoulder as he looks at the three, he's ready, and seen some shit.* **"either the first Salvo of the night, or the last one before they send in the dogs,"** *He steels himself, pushing the forward assist of his Carbine.** **"my money's on the Dogs."** *Fletcher watches over the deserted town, the playground that hasn't been played for months, the house abandoned, it's making her unnerved.* `they're all gone... Just us left. The dogs of war.` *she catches something in the corner of her eye inside the house.* **"contact, three O'clock. Southeast corner building, windows dark. Just saw the curtain move."** *Darnell points his M16 at the window, eyes wide, and Rifle off the safety switch.* **"I don't see anything Fletcher, could be the wind."** *Fletcher looks besides her, making her now confused and unsure, unsure being positive if it was enemy movement.* `I.. I saw that right?` *Fletcher snaps out of it, shaking her head.* **"it... Wasn't the wind sargeant. I'm positive."** *Dana looks at Darnell, her brows furrowing, stomping out her used cigarette.* **"she's right. The wind doesn't work a curtain latch, sargeant."** *Darnell sighs.* **"Alright, we'll-"** **BANG!** *A flare was up in the sky, illuminating the area. UOA soldiers, some masked with blue Rags around their helmets, or their uniforms, comes running.* *Darnell spots them.* **"SHIT! THEY'RE HERE! FIRE! FIRE AT WILL!"** **RATATATTATAAT!* *Chambers of rifle rounds fires at all directions, as the squad picks off the incoming UOA soldiers, it was almost like a idiotic charge by the UOA soldiers to tucking storm up to them like that.* *While Dana was shooting, surpressing the Machine gunner up inside the house, she spots a soldier with a M3 Gustav.* ***RPG!"** *Fletcher looks over, going to shoot the soldier, but.. Before-* **BOOM!!!** *Fletcher gets thrown back to the concrete wall, with a thud following A "aegh!" she gets slammed down, her nose bleeding as it enters her mouth.* `tastes like... Copper...` *She was in a state of dissaray, her eyes closed, with red in, almost hallucinating, before she notices a voice coming outside from her ringing ears.* **"FLETCHER! GET UP!"** `huh...?` *Dana grabs Fletcher's Collar, shaking her awake from her concussioned state, shaking her with urgency.* **"h-huh?"** *Fletcher wakes up, face to face with Dana.* **"move! They're pushing!"** *Dana goes, shooting the advancing hostile soldiers, as Fletcher gets up and peeks around.* *It was a quite moment, The firing stopped.. For a while, it was late at night, as the illumination flare is slowly dying out, the others were exhausted, and it looks like the UOA forces are probably regrouping or planning something. Dana looks at mason, sitting against the sandbags.* **"how you holding up, Kincaid?"** *Dana whispers quietly, and Mason turns his head to her, taking a deep breath from the temporary peace.* **"I.. I'm okay."** *Fletcher watches the interaction, she's always on edge. No. She's high alert.* `They're too close. We're being outflanked.` *Fletcher was thinking about it, There, she sees it. Three UOA soldiers cautiously advancing up to their position, seeing their blue bands, clearly identifying them As UOA soldiers. Fletcher gets up, taking her Colt M4, both eyes open as she uses the Aimpoint comp M4 attached on her rifle, aiming through her glasses, even though the right lense was cracked.* *But, before she could engage, Ramirez showed up beside her, He was folding the M60E2 like he's from fuckin Rambo.* **RATATATATATATAT!** **"GET SOME! GET SOME!"** *He was clearly enjoying this moment, as he Fires the M60 endlessly on its ammo belt, shredding the three UOA soldiers to pieces as he laughs, while Fletcher watches, her eyes wide, and with swear dripping down.* *Dana soon realizes it, they were mostly outgunned by manpower, and she stands up, shouting to Darnell amidst the barking M60.* **"Thompson! We're comprised! We need to fall back to the* **'Beast!'** *Darnell looks at Dana, Tracers flying over them like fast rain.* **"not yet! Ramirez and Hayes should be hitting their flank any second!"** *right after Ramirez was done hitting their flanks, Darnell told Dana to regroup her squad mates and retreat. Dana comes Fletcher.* **"Fletcher get Mason! Bravo, we're moving! To the beast, NOW!"** **"alright,"** *Fletcher replies, as she runs around to get Mason, she corners around a crouching UOA soldier, and when he appeared, Fletcher raises her rifle, and shoots the soldier at the head.* **"ARFH!""** *The soldier gets put down, shot on the head as the bullets hit his head, and inside his mouth, removing a set of teeth, flying out.* *She coldly continues to proceed forward, as she sees Mason sitting on the ground, his knee bent unnaturally. Fletcher approaches the downed Mason.* **"Up, mason. Now."** *Fletcher lifts Mason up, as mason looks at Fletcher, sweating profusely, and writhing in pain.* **"I think my ankle is busted,"** *As Fletcher helps Mason, supporting him as they walk to the Humvee.* **"don't think. Just move."** *Fletcher replies, as they keep moving while Bravo team is fighting for their lives.* *While Fletcher was half Dragging, and half carrying Mason, Oliver catches up,* **"Hey."** *Fletcher looks on her right and sees Oliver sprinting to the humvee.* *There, outside the abandoned building, was Dana, pointing up to the M2 browning mounted ontop of the humvee.* **"Get him on the back! I'll man the gun while you're at it!"** *Fletcher moves to the makeshift trailer of the humvee, opening the back door and sliding in Mason inside the armored back of the Humvee, and maintains a security perimeter around the humvee.*
