—(The previous day)—
A few days ago, the Combine set up a forward base of operations smack dab in between Skyrim and Hollow Shades. It is patrolled by the elite of the Combine army, the best they have. It’s obvious that this is an important place, and that they plan of useing it, presumably to attack a city. So, the Rooks were sent in.
———
“This is Jack, time to set the plan in action. Reznov, Mason, Wolfram, Ceaser, have you eyes over the base?”
“Da.”
“Ja.”
“Si.”
“Yes.”
“Heavy, are you prepared to fire?”
“Little babies will not know what hit them.”
“I’ll take that as a yes. Wanderer, are you and Clyde in close to sneak?”
“They don’t see us, we wait for their patrols to have a gap.”
“Clive can distract them sufficiently.”
“Good, execute when ready. Lord and Solare, are you ready to cause a distraction?”
“This warrior of the sun will have a shocking surprise in store for them.”
”They stand no chance against my mace.”
“Twilight and Doctor, are you ready with the evac?”
“I am ready to fend off any Combine who get to close.”
“The TARDIS is ready to go as soon as needed.”
“Good, with everyone in position, Operation Preemptive Intervention is a go. Remember the goals of the mission. We are to search for any information, and disrupt the base as much as possible. Remember: only open fire and destroy when the sneakers are either caught, or escape. Alright, let’s go.”
—(Wanderer)—
I sit behind an abandoned piece of plywood with Clyde when I see a guard stop in front of us. I look over at Clyde, “Be prepared to drag him back here.”
I pull out my silenced 10MM pistol and aim it at the guard.
*bang.*
The guard falls over dead, and I move forward. Clyde drags him under the piece of plywood to hide him, and we move our way into the base.
We move our way into some gaps behind the buildings to hide us. I peek my head out to see if their are any patrols. I see none, so I move on.
We sneak our way just like that all the way to the middle.
I’m sneaking by the center-most building when I hear my radio crackle, “Hide now!”
We instantly duck into the building, “Reznov, what’s wrong?”
“The entire base seems like it’s mobilizing quickly. A great number of units are nearing your current position. Search and find what you can before they find you.”
Clyde hears what I hear, so we insisted start to search all types of fileing cabinets. Clyde eventually pulls out a file, and reads it, “I found some important intel, we need to go now.”
I hear the door open, and I duck into a hidden corner of a room, “Sniper teams, we found the intel, open fire and draw them away from us. We can’t allow them to know we have intel.”
“Just like Stalingrad.”
*Bang!*
“Reminds me of Berlin.”
*Bang!*
“Never did much marksmanship in Japan.”
*Bang!*
“North African Italian snipers were the best.”
*Bang!*
The sniper shots all take out some Combine, and the alarm is shortly tripped.
I see a window, and no Combine are paying attention to it. I nod at Clyde, and we make our escape.
———
“Assault team, you have free reign.”
—(Heavy)—
Weak Combine babies all take cover from the snipers. Heh, cover means nothing to Sasha.
I move my way out of the forest I was hidden in, and open fire.
*Ratatat!*
Their puny Combine buildings and cover all fall before my Russian might, “Fear me, cowards!”
*Pew! Pew! Pew!*
Heh, little babies try and fire back with puny laser guns, they hold nothing compared to the might of Sasha, “I am invincible!”
—(Kendrick)—
I flick out my mace, growing three feet in an instant. Solare rushes up beside me, and starts to throw lightning bolts at the enemies.
I rush in, causing quite a bit of fear in the enemies I move towards to. They quickly rally, and start to fire at me.
I have to admit, their lasers are quite powerful, and they do hurt me. But I can easily shake off most pain these days.
I get to them quickly, and I go to town with my mace. I raise it and swing at a building someone is hidden behind.
*SSSSSSWWWWWWWW- CRACK!*
With a blast sent out from my mace, the building collapses upon itself, crushing all inside useing it as cover.
I reacive a ton of fire into my back, and turn around to see an airship there.
Good thing about these airships, they are not very resistant against fire.
”Yol Toor Shul”
With a huge blast of fire, the airship spins out of control. It explodes in a burst of fire, causing a deadly fire.
I turn around again only to see myself surrounded.
—(Twilight)—
I send a blast of magic at a Combine soldier, “Jack, get them back here, we need to go!”
I hear Jack over the radio, “All Rooks, flee back to the TARDIS now!”
I hide behind a tree, and return fire at another soldier, “Doctor, get ready!”
I can hear a buzzing sound, and the soldiers gun jams, “Come on, Twilight, take cover inside!”
I rush to the TARDIS, and hide inside of it. I see the Doctor pointing his Sonic Screwdriver out at more advancing soldiers, “Twilight, dear, I have created targets for you, take the shot!”
I peek my head, and we many soldiers trying to unjam their guns, wich I take out with a blast from my horn.
I can also hear many heavy footsteps coming my direction, and some other Rooks come rushing out of the forest. Doctor looks out at them, “Reznov, Mason, Wolfram, Ceaser, Heavy, come on!”
All of them rush over to the TARDIS, and are covered by a rock flying it’s way between soldiers, leaving behind unconscious corpses. The Lone Wander and Clyde come rushing out of the forest.
Clyde rushes in, and holds his hand out, “Clive.” Clive the rock flies into his hand, and he joins the others with the whole rushing in thing.
Finnaly, a flurry of motions brings the enternce of Solare, who is almost dancing between the soldiers, and Kendrick right behind him.
With those two rushing in, the Doctor flips a switch, and we get out of there.
—(Slendy, present)—
I walk into the Rook’s room, and see all of them resting up, “Was any intel found.”
Clyde hands me a file, and I open it. I immediately feel my stomach drop when I read it, “Oh shit.”
I burst into the previous room, “Raven, Chem, I need you two to set out to Hollow Shades! Courier, Avatar, get to Skyrim as quick as possible! Tell Stalliongrad to send half it’s garrison with you!”
Without waiting for a response, I move back into the Rook’s room, “Reznov, Heavy, Kendrick, and Solare, you are too stay here with me in Stalliongrad. The rest of you split yourselves evenly and prepare to move out to Hollow Shades and Skyrim!”
The Doctor looks up at me in worry, “What was in that file?”
I place it in front of him, “Operation Final Charge. They plan to fully attack Skyrim and Hollow Shades tomorrow.”
—(Commander)—
I look to the battalion commander, “Operation Burned Snow is ready?”
“Yes, Commander.”
“Then we rest up today before we attack.”
