The Bog

Before we begin, i had the time to make the Y.M.C logo described from the previous chapter


It doesn't look too great, but hopefully it opens your mind more of how the emblem looks like.

Anyways, on to the reaction

___________________________________

For about a few minutes, the Doctor had explained Kal'tsit the events between Blackout and Charlie don't surf. 

They told her of Folinic's role as a spy in the Reunion movement and the informant for Rhodes Island. And then when they evacuate the area accompanied with Chard, Barty, Yato, and Noir Corne.

Then they told her of Swire, Lin and Hoshiguma's role as the Yanese marines that are tasked to invade Drudge's nation and destroy his forces. Said invasion starts with them taking one of the coastal cities that were informed to house Drudge, but of course it was false.

"And is that all?" Kal'tsit said, mentally noting all the things the Doctor explained to her.

The Doctor nodded. "Yep. Good thing you didn't miss a lot. Doesn't feel the same with you around."

Amiya, Closure, and Folinic raised their eyebrows of that remark, but simply shrug it off.

Kal'tsit did too, rolling her eyes. "Whatever."

The same thing was also happening with W. Sesa and a few others beside the A4 team explained to her of all the missions. Adnachiel even explained some parts of it.

W seems intrigued. Especially the part where Sesa explained all the explosions that happened. One time when the MiGs exploded the ship and when he trained Amiya with the C4 to blow up a car.

"Then i was like 'Fire in the hole!' and then Amiya blew that car up to smitherines!" Sesa explained of what happened in F.N.G.

"Oh do tell." W smirked. "Any more explosions happened after?"

"Sadly that is about it." He said which made the Sarkaz to frown. "But don't worry, there might be more in this mission and the next ones."

"I better hope. Otherwise, i'm clocking out." W then smiled. "Least i still get to sit with some familiar faces." She glanced to the A4 sankta.

"Okay, let's begin!" Closure exclaimed. "I'm itching to see the next mission here."

Giving her a nod, Amiya pressed the button on the remote to begin the next scene.

___________________________________

Once again, the screen begins with the Y.M.C. emblem along with Lin's name under it. As the emblem was placed to the upper left corner, the satellite was tracking Lin's current position.

A female Yanese news reporter was heard. "After heavy fighting today, Yanese marines continue to push into the city where Drudge Tulla is making his last stand." Then the satellite zoomed into the area where smoke was rising.

A video of the city was then shown in green, showing AA weapons firing towards the skies, possibly dealing with Yanese aircrafts.

"Huh, Drudge is already losing?" W spoke up.

"It appears so." Doctor said, surprised of how the Yanese manage to make that far in such a short period of time.

"Yan in this universe is that good, huh?" Ch'en commented of their military might.

"If he's losing then that is good." Blaze said. "He made a grave mistake showing Picale's execution to the international public."

"Hopefully we get to kill him." Swire said.

The news reporter continued. "Fighting has intensified in the Capital city. Anti-Aircraft fire and burning buildings light the night." The satellite then zooms further into the city where it then tracks an overview of the Type 99 tanks on a road.

The inscription "ZTZ" also appeared next to it.

"That vehicle looks really weird." Catapult said.

"Perspective does that sometimes." Midnight replied.

"I'm assuming ZTZ is an alternative name for the 99?" Dobermann asked.

"I think so." Vulcan said.

"Or it stands for the ZTZ-99?" Fang wondered.

"Makes more sense." Dobermann said.

A male voice spoke up, labeled as 'Command'. "Roger on location. Repeating: Map Grid 52761-niner, over."

"Bravo Six copies, over." Swire replied.

The satellite then shifts into an open field where another Type 99 tank was in the middle of it. Then a transparent video was shown, seeing the tank along with a squad of ten marines that are labeled blue, fighting the hostiles that are labeled red

"Bravo Six, we have a 99 dead in the water. Callsign 'War pig'. Lieutenant Schwire, your unit is Shotgun, over." Command informed.

Spot couldn't help but stiff out a laugh from that name. "War pig? Seriously? That's the name they come up with?"

"Hey, cut them some slack." Hoshiguma called out to him.

The satellite shows several more videos of the tank in different angles as the inscriptions show up.

Objective: Secure the ZTZ
Callsign: War pig

Swire replied. "Copy. Bravo is inbound. Tell "War Pig" to stand by. We're on our way. Out."

"You know, i think i recognize Command's voice." Doctor said.

"Yeah, he sounded familiar." Ch'en replied.

Amiya's mind lit up when she remembered. "Wait, i think it's Mr. Lee."

"Ah, yeah. That's the guy." Doctor said, now knowing who that man was.

"Lee. Isn't he the man that made his LDA organization? The one where Aak, Waai fu, and Hung are?" Closure asked.

"Yep. That's them." Swire said. During her time in Lungmen, she manage to meet with one of the members of LDA. Sooner or later, she and Hoshi met with all of them.

They're pretty good people.

The satellite shifted away from the field and into one of the sections of the city where Lin and her squad were as the square tracks her position.

Tracking....

Sgt. Lin Yuhsia
1st Force Recon
Middle east region of Sargon
Day 3 - 5:00:31

Like always, the camera quickly descends into the eyes of Lin. She was seen loading up her rifle. Her rifle is the T91 like last time, only now that it was equipped with a holographic sight and a grenade launcher attachment.

Sesa and W smiled at the sight, expecting for some explosions coming out of it.

The audience notice that Lin and her squad was currently in an overpass, littered with debris and destroyed vehicles. The sky was brown, implying the dawn setting of this mission as an alarm was heard blaring all over the city.

Lin then glanced to Swire as the latter spoke up.

 "Alpha company's tank is stuck half a click north of here." Swire said pointing to the direction. "We gotta hustle! Let's go!" 

With that, Lin and the rest of the squad begin to move. Massey and Hoshiguma were there aswell.

"Tank?" Blaze said. "What does she mean by that?"

"Hmm, if i'm not wrong. This Tank is must be the ZTZ-99 they were tasked to rescue." Dobermann said.

"That thing's a tank?" Chard said. "I guess that seems fitting."

"But why call it a tank?" Spot asked.

"I mean what else are you gonna call a heavily armored vehicle with tracks on whilst armed with a huge fucking cannon on the front?" Catapult interjected.

Spot stayed silent for a moment before acknowledging it. "Alright then."

The squad continued on to the street filled with various debris and destroyed vehicles that are either Military or Civilian.

"Move it! Move it!" A marine urged.

"Keep moving up!" Massey followed.

Suddenly, gunfire erupted from the buildings by the front right as three of the marines were then gunned down, prompting Lin and the others to take cover.

"Ambush!" Another Marine shouted.

"Contact right! Contact Right!" Massey yelled out.

"That escalated quickly." Noir corne commented when they already lost a quarter of their squad.

"They know how to attack unexpectedly." Dobermann said.

"Don't think it's gonna last long now that they're exposed." Fang said, knowing the Yanese are gonna take em' all out.

"Get suppressing fire on that building. We have to move forward!" Swire ordered.

Lin stood up behind the broken down car as she begin to fire aimlessly at the building where the shots came from. Hoshiguma followed that action with her machine gun. 

This cause the OpFor to hold fire, allowing Swire and the rest of the marines to move out of the overpass. 

"Keep moving forward!" Swire urged as she made it to a set of stairs. Lin then starts to move while firing at the hostiles. Then a Yanese helicopter was about to assist them, however a stray RPG rocket manage to hit and destroy it.

"That could've been very useful." Vulcan said.

"I say it was their own fault for flying too close to the building." Dylan said, having his own experience on piloting the aircrafts.

Thankfully - Lin, Hoshiguma and the other marines manage to move out of the overpass and to the set of stairs.

The Marines begin to move up to the apartment buildings where the OpFors are. However, the audience noticed that the interior is darken, unable them to see anything. Luckily they had NVGs.

"Switch to night vision, now!" Swire said. Lin did what she told as she put on her NVG goggles, the screen now turning green. Though it abled the audience to see the dark interior.

The marines then engaged the OpFors through destroyed walls of once was a simple apartment. The OpFors were using them as cover.

Lin cautiously move in from wall after wall as she engaged them one by one.

"It be a good time to use that grenade launcher." W said with Sesa agreeing with her.

Meanwhile, Massey, Hoshiguma, and two other Marines shift their fire to the second floor where dozens of OpFors were firing at them - allowing Lin, Swire, and a blonde Feline marine to slip by.

Eventually, the trio made it to an intact hall through the destroyed wall.

"Yuhsia, you and Roycewicz head upstairs. We'll cover this entrance. Go!" Swire ordered, while gesturing to the feline Marine that was infront of the stairs, which was Roycewicz.

"Roycewicz? An odd name for a Yanese." Swire said.

"Well he is the second named marine now." Hoshiguma stated. "Wonder if he'll play a big role like Massey?"

Lin catch up to Roycewicz as the two begin to walk upstairs. When the latter turned to a corner, he was suddenly attacked by one of the OpFors.

They struggled a bit before the OpFor manage to swipe his legs as the Marine fell. But before he was able to kill him, Lin took action and put a bullet to the head, saving Roycewicz.

Roycewicz got back up as he immediately went upstairs.

"Really? He didn't even thank her." Lava said.

"Well that's just rude." Kroos frowned, crossing her arms.

Lin catch up to Roycewicz as they both are now at the second floor. They stack up to a doorway where there were squads of OpFors up front, unknown of their presence. There were also lasers coming from  below, presumably from the Marines' weapons.

Seeing the amount of hostiles, Lin decides it is time to use her grenade launcher.

She peek out and aimed her launcher, making sure to take out as many as possible. She then fired the grenade, managing to kill atleast four hostiles.

"Not bad." W commented. "I would've killed them all with a single shot, though."

"Tch, in your dreams." Sesa muttered.

The explosion caught the other OpFor's attention as they turned to the two marines. Lin quickly switch back to rifle mode as she and Roycewicz took care of the remaining hostiles by the hallway.

"Watch your fire! We're on the second floor!" Roycewicz exclaimed to the Marines. 

"Roger that. Shifting fire." Massey replied. The audience saw that the lasers were now gone, clearing the hallway.  

Lin and Roycewicz then move up to the hallway. They hear more footsteps behind them, implying that Swire and a few other marines are catching up to them.

There were still a handful of enemies by the room at the end of the hallway. Lin peek out from the second door and shoot the enemies from there.

Meanwhile, Roycewicz and Swire breached in to the room and dealt with the remaining hostiles. Lin catch up to see Roycewicz throwing back a grenade into a room. It then exploded, killing two enemies.

"Clear!" Roycewicz said, but then they were immediatly fired upon by the OpFors from the other side.

"Not clear." Barty said.

"There's still lots of enemies right there." Yato counted. About more than half a dozen were present.

"Maybe they should use the machine gun." Noir pointed out.

"Huh, seems like a good idea."

And it was. Swire then called out to Lin. "Yuhsia, use their machine gun!" Lin obliged as she move out of cover and man their M249 machine gun, imported straight from Columbia.

Lin begin to aim the gun and starts unleashing its bullets to the OpFors.

Some of the operators reacted with awe seeing the firepower of the machine gun. They remembered this is how Tachanka's gun performed before its bullets were replaced.

Closure think back during his shooting training. She thought it was just going to be a simple training with Tachanka shooting his gun at the targets. But she was left shocked of how easily he annihilated all of the targets like no tomorrow just by a mere pull of the trigger.

Lin kept shooting at the OpFors. She saw each one of them dropping like flies. Some of them were then seen hiding behind the walls. But it was going to be futile.

"Cut 'em down! Shoot 'em through the wall!" Swire shouted.

Like she said, Lin fired the machinegun at the walls, bullets managing to penetrate it and killing the OpFors hiding behind them.

"So...deadly..." Popukar awed.

"Not as deadly as the minigun before, but yeah." Spot said.

"This is literally what Tachanka's gun was." Liskarm stated.

"100% of how it performed." Franka said.

"The fact that there are loads of these things concerns me." Dobermann said.

"In our world's standards, it is. But for the alternate universe, it doesn't seem to be." Amiya said.

After a few seconds of unleashing hell, Lin successfully killed all the enemies.

"Good job!" Swire commented before she got a call from Lee.

"Be advised, more enemy troops are converging on the tank. Get there A.S.A.P." Lee informed of War pig's situation.

"Roger that! We're working on it - out!" With that, Swire and Lin make their way back to the bottom floor.

Lin then passed by Roycewicz and two other marines breaching into a room before gunfire was followed, implying that there was an enemy in it.

"Clear!" Roycewicz said before he joined up with Lin and the rest.

"I have a feeling we'll see him that often in these missions just like Massey." Folinic said, about Roycewicz.

"That is what i am saying." Hoshiguma replied. "Lots of other marines we see were unnamed, and a lot of them were killed. I assume the ones that are named would live longer."

"You might be right." Ch'en agreed.

The squad move back down to the first floor as they head over to a door that was opened. Lin saw Hoshiguma already ran in to the room.

When she went in, the audience notice that the room was already lit, which messed up her NVG, so she took it off.

She then saw two marines by the windows firing at the OpFors outside of the building. Hoshiguma went to the third window and kicked the AC blocking it before firing her machine gun.

The audience could see two dozen hostiles from outside. 

"Those sure are a lot of enemies." Noir whistled. 

"The marines can take care of them." Yato said.

"Sir, there's a ton of them out there!" Hoshiguma said.

"Shut up and keep them pinned down!" Swire harshly replied whilst firing her rifle to the OpFors. Nevertheless, Hoshi gave her a nod.

"Roger that. Suppressing FIRE!" She shouted as she fired her MG to the group of OpFors outside the courtyard

Lin head over to one of the windows and joined in to the fight. She noticed a lone OpFor soldier by the catwalk. She fired a few shots at him till his body fell to the ground.

She turned back to the main area as various OpFor soldiers were hiding behind the cars. She ducked back down when she was fired upon. She glanced at Hoshiguma and the two other marines, firing at the OpFors.

Suddenly one of them was struck down by a bullet to the head as he fell to the floor dead. Then the other marine got hailed by bullets as she too fell to the floor. Seeing this, Hoshiguma ducked down to avoid the same fate. Good thing too as her window was then seen being riddled with bullets.

"That was a close one." Hoshiguma said.

"Damn, they already lost two of their guys." Franka said.

"They seem to have the firepower and the manpower." Doctor said, about the OpFors.

"But the marines have the training and the equipment to counter them." Dobermann said. 

"She's right." Ch'en agreed, "Most of the times, quality beats quantity."

Lin decide to throw one of her flashbangs. When it exploded, she and Hoshiguma got back up and fired at the blinded OpFors.

A good chunk of them were killed, but there were still more that are still alive.

Lin then moved out of the window and head towards the door outside. There she saw Swire taking cover beside it, whilst firing at the enemies.

When she went outside, she saw Roycewicz and a few other marines engaging the OpFors in close combat.

Lin took cover behind a wall and equipped her grenade launcher. She peeked out and fired a nade which killed about three OpFors.

When she was about to reload another one hit, she was suddenly hit by a stray shot on her back. She quickly turned around and sprayed her T91 on a hostile that had flanked her.

"Gotta admit, that guy was smart trying to flank her." Beehunter commented.

"Good thing she survived." Swire said.

More enemies begin to arrive. Lin was about to shoot them down, but they were quickly dealt with by Massey and two other marines. 

The marines then move out of the previous building and joined the fight. Hoshiguma then move up to a broken down car and placed the bipod of her T75 MG before firing more rounds to the OpFors.

Seeing that Lin was almost flanked, Massey move out to the left side of the building to cover her six. Meanwhile, Swire went to the courtyard, assisting Roycewicz and a few other marines. As the courtyard was being dealt with, Lin and Massey went in to the building and took care of the OpFor occupants.

The two cleared the first room as Massey and another marine rushed to the second room. Meanwhile, Lin went to the window to assist Swire, Roycewicz, and Hoshiguma. She saw a few OpFor soldiers hiding behind a trash bin, in which she decide to use her grenade to take care of them.

When she threw the grenade over the trash bin, the OpFors saw it and ran for cover just as the grenade exploded. It didn't kill anyone, but it sure drove them out of cover. Seeing this, Lin switch back to her rifle and took out one of them while the rest were already dealt with by the marines.

"That was such a bad grenade." W commented with her arms crossed, since Lin didn't manage to kill them with it.

"Well, it did drove them out of cover, giving the marines a clear shot." Steward said.

"Contact! On the overpass!" Roycewicz suddenly shouted, pointing towards the overpass. Lin turned to it and saw dozens of Drudge's men firing at them. She then goes out to the courtyard to get a more clear shot at them.

"Oh no, they got the high ground." Catapult said.

"But they're pretty exposed." Spot stated. "The marines could kill them easily."

And they did. Lin managed to kill three of them while the rest were being picked off by the rest of the marines. She even saw Massey and the other marine by the second floor of a building, taking the OpFors out one by one.

Swire then spoke up. "U.A.V. recon has spotted enemy tanks headed this way. Private West, get on the roof and hit 'em with the Javelin!"

The operators were intrigued of what she said. 

"Javelin? Wonder what's that?" Folinic asked.

"Swire did say that enemy tanks are approaching to their position. So i'm assuming that these Javelins are anti-tank weapons." Amiya said.

"So that means blowing more stuff up? Oh i'm eager to see this." Sesa said smiling.

West then replied. "Right away, sir-" suddenly a shot went through the radio as the audience could hear her groaning afterwards. 

Then they hear Roycewicz shouting. "Private West is down! West is down!" 

"Yuhsia! Pick up the Javelin so you can take out those tanks!" Swire ordered.

"Looks like it is up to the rat." Swire said before turning to Hoshiguma. "And i think that proves you were wrong of named characters living longer than unnamed ones."

"Guess it is." The oni simply said. 

"Wait, so does that mean Massey and Roycewicz will die aswell?" Franka asked.

"Maybe so." Vulcan said. "It's war after all. Not anyone would survive."

"Not if your one of the main characters." Spot mumbled.

Hearing what she said, Lin abandoned her spot and head towards where West was. The audience notice that West was the female liberi marine that was in the previous mission.

"Aw, i liked that girl." Midnight said, saddened when she did. "She reminds me of Ms. Orchid."

"You serious?" Spot deadpanned. He knows that the man had this crush on their leader.

"Mhm." Midnight nodded.

Right beside her dead body was the Javelin that Swire talked about. It was the HJ-12 anti tank weapon. Its size was very large. Larger than any of the guns the operators had seen. 

"Look at the size of that thing!" Blaze exclaimed while pointing at it.

"That is one big gun...." Vulcan said.

"It's almost like a cannon." Liskarm said.

"Oh i am not blinking of how it's gonna perform!" Sesa said.

W giggled at the sight of the thing, very eager to see how it would perform at the enemy tanks. Her smile getting some glances from the A4 team, which Adnachiel turned away from her.

Lin went over and pick up the large AT launcher. It was so large that it covered the bottom right of the screen. 

After picking it up, she glanced to Swire as the latter then said. "Get to the second floor and take out those tanks!"

Lin obliged and head over to the building that has the second floor that Swire talked about. Heading up a set of stairs, she saw that Massey and a few other marines were already there.

When she was about to go outside to the roof, an explosion occured as the audience could see two of the Marines were now dead.

Crouching down, Lin peeked out to see the tanks that Swire talked about. There were about four of them all gathered on the overpass. The tanks were also different.

Instead of the BMPs that the audience saw during the Coup and Blackout, these tanks were the T-72. Having a large cannon similar to the type 99 and better armor.

Most of the operators were intimidated by the presence of those tanks.

"Oh god, look at those tanks." Folinic said.

"They don't look like the ones from before..." Chard said.

"Yeah, it looks like a stronger version." Dylan replied.

"All four of them are seem to be targeting the marines." Kal'tsit stated.

"Isn't that overkill?" Blaze said. "Why would you use 4 tanks to take down a squad of Marines?"

"Whatever Drudge's army is made off, it kind of makes sense." Doctor said.

"Still, i'm not sure if the Javelin is enough to take them all down." Amiya said, doubting that the Marines had to use one AT weapon to take down 4 tanks that looked stronger than the BMP.

Seeing the amount of tanks, Lin had to take action before her squad gets annihilated. She ran outside and readied her Javelin.

Luckily, Massey was still alive as he joined with her and gave her covering fire.

"Hit those vehicles at the far end of the bridge. Hurry!" Massey said, before shifting back to the hostiles.

Lin obliged and took aim at one of the tanks. The audience saw that the screen zoomed in to the camera lens like sight as they could get a good view of how the Javelin works.

There was a circle on the top left corner highlighted with the word 'Day' and another circle below with the missile in it.

At the center of the sight comes a white rectangle, possibly to target the tanks. Nevertheless, the aim looked odd to some of the ops.

"For an Anti-tank weapon, the sight looks pretty complicated." Amiya said.

"Maybe there is a reason." Kal'tsit said. "Unlike the RPGs we saw, the Javelin may carry a more stronger missile that it could be effective against the tanks."

"Wonder how big the missile is?" Closure asked.

"Possibly pretty big." Doctor answered.

Lin shift her aim to one of the T-72 tanks. When the tank was in the rectangle, the audience could see that it was locking on to the tank while hearing the beeps.

"So it has a locking system." Vulcan said.

"What does that mean?" Kroos asked.

"It means the launcher couldn't be fired aimlessly."

When the Javelin has locked in to the tank, Lin pulled the trigger and fired the missile. The missile was shot out to the Javelin as the audience expect it to hit the tank. But to their surprise, the missile went straight into the air.

"Wait, why did it went to the air?!" W complained.

"Yeah, what gives?" Sesa asked.

"I have no idea..." Liskarm said.

Bagpipe looked closer and notice that the missile was going down. "Wait, i think it's coming down!"

The audience look back to the screen as Lin stared to the missile starting to come down to the tank. When it did, the T-72 exploded to hundreds of pieces.

"Target destroyed!" Massey exclaimed.

"Woah!" W and Sesa exclaimed seeing of how the tank was already destroyed just by a single missile.

"The tank's already destroyed?!" Blaze said in disbelief.

"And it only took one missile?" Greythroat chimed in.

"Holy Laterano, i guess that Javelin is really powerful." Closure said.

"That. Or the tank has pretty weak armor." Doctor said.

"It's maybe both." Castle-3 said.

"But i don't understand why did it have to fly into the air?" Folinic asked.

"It seems that the missile needed the airspeed velocity so that it could gather the power to take down the tank in just one shot." Kal'tsit stated.

"Seems pretty complicated." Amiya said.

"Well, i don't care. I get to see that tank blown to pieces!" W said happily.

After taking one down, Lin shifted to the other three tanks. Though she had to take cover when she was under fire by the OpFor infantry. Massey saw this and took them out.

After they were killed, Lin locked on her Javelin to the second T-72 tank. Like before, the Javelin let out a few beeps before locking on to the tank. Lin then fired as the Missile went through the air for a few seconds until it dives down to the tank, destroying it.

"Good shot, man!" Massey complimented.

"If i were her, i would say thanks." Franka said.

Lin shifted to the third tank and did the same process. She waited for it to lock on the tank before firing another missile as it then went down to the tank and destroyed it.

Three tanks down, one left. When Lin shifted to the last tank, she could see that it was trying to retreat along with the rest of the OpFors.

Blaze snickered. "Look. They're retreating."

"Even if they had those tanks, they still lose to a squad of infantrymen." Dobermann stated with a slight smirk.

"Goes to show that Yan is more advanced than Drudge's nation." Swire said.

Not allowing the tank to go away, Lin locked on to it. She then fired the missile, destroying the last tank.

"Okay, that's the last of them." Massey said as he then leaves the rooftop. Lin followed him before dropping the Javelin and equipping her T91 rifle again.

"She's just gonna leave that thing behind?" Sesa said.

"Well, it has no use of it anymore." Vulcan said. "Besides, i don't think the OpFors are gonna send in more tanks after what just happened."

"And the Javelin seems pretty heavy for her to carry." Lancet-2 said.

"Still. You can't just leave a weapon that big behind." Swire said. "Who knows that it could also be expensive!"

Lin went downstairs with Massey as the two regrouped with Swire, Hoshiguma, Roycewicz and another surviving Marine. After that fight, the squad were only reduced to six. But that doesn't mean they're stopping from completing the mission and get to War pig.

They all gathered up behind an iron fence that leads to a farely-lit slums, which could act as a shortcut to War Pig.

Roycewicz got up front before taking out an Acid spray as he then sprayed it on the fence.

After spraying a decent size hole, Roycewicz use his strength and pull the fence out, making a hole on it. He then set it aside as the squad enters the hole and into the slums.

"I can't believe there's only six of them now." Amiya said, seeing of what is left of the squad.

"By the looks of it, it's still enough men to complete the mission." Doctor said.

"Besides, they still have a few more guys with war pig." Bagpipe assured.

The squad proceed towards the slums, following the path that leads to the other side of the overpass.

Just then a voice spoke up in the radio, presumably one of the marines that was with War pig. "Bravo Six, we're taking heavy fire on our position north of the overpass! Where the hell are you?!"

"We're almost there! Hang on!" Swire assured as the squad begin to pick up the pace. It appears that the squad are getting killed one by one by the OpFors.

"He sounded panicked." Blaze said, concerned of the Marine's tone of voice during the call.

"Don't think they could hold out much longer." Beehunter thoughted.

"They need to hurry up." Rangers said.

The squad took a left and went deep into the slums. They could see that all the houses were abandoned and a few stray animals were around.

The audience then saw the overpass right infront of them with gunfire getting more louder.

"The tank's on the other side of that overpass. Come on - let's get back to the squad!" Massey urged.

When they kept walking, Lin saw a stray rocket zooming by above them.

"Good thing that didn't hit them." Adnachiel said.

"Be a shame if it did." Cardigan replied.

The squad finally reached the end of the slum with gunfire sounds beginning to intensify. The squad dropped down on the edge before proceeding to the tank.

When they finally arrived, the audience saw that it was in the same condition like before. The Type 99 tank was stuck in some mud - unabling it to move, where as the surviving marines were still defending it.

"Looks like they made it on time." Ch'en said.

"The tank looks ok." Swire added.

"But not the marines defending it, though." Hoshiguma observed that the defenders numbers had reduced than the 10 than she saw in the beginning. The dead bodies of them explained it too.

"Alpha Six what's your status over?" Swire asked.

One of the defenders answered. "We're still surrounded, sir! There's just the four of us left, but the tank's still ok, over!"

Then one of the crew from War pig spoke up. "Bravo Six, this is War Pig! The main gun's offline but we still have our machine gun!"

Some of the operators stop to notice of how familiar he sounded. Then they realized that it was the voice of Bison.

"Hey, that was Bison." Hoshiguma pointed out.

"Bison?" Ch'en said, raising her eyebrow.

"The forte kid from Mountain Dash Logistics in Lungmen. He's also part of the Penguin Logistics." Swire explained.

"He'd dropped by to Rhodes Island on a few occasions." Amiya said.

"Or helping us with any deliveries." Doctor added.

Meanwhile the other operators focus on the other things. Mostly the part where the Tank is unable to use their main gun, so no explosions.

W grumbled and crossed her arms. "Of course the tank gun wouldn't work."

"Atleast the tank can still fight with their machine gun." Steward said.

"Yeah, but it's not that exciting when not using the cannon." Cardigan replied.

"Looks like someone's agreeing with me." W said to the Perro girl, which the latter realized but shrugged it off anyway.

The squad then took defensive positions around the tank as they engaged the incoming OpFors.

"Contacts to the east and more flanking to the south! Hold the perimeter!" Swire said.

Lin stopped by near a trash dumpster with one of the defenders. She engaged the OpFors that were charging towards their position. The OpFors meanwhile were hiding behind the buildings and various debris that acts as cover.

"Would be a good time for the main cannon to work here." Sesa said.

"Agreed." W replied.

"Least Lin still has the grenade launcher."

Like Sesa said, Lin then equipped her grenade launcher as she fired a round at a group of OpFors on another trash dumpster.

The OpFors fired at her but then some of them were being cut down by War Pig's machine gun. Lin then decides to change positions.

She saw Hoshiguma, Swire, and Massey taking position near the left side of the tank. The former placed the bipod of her machine gun by a rock before unleashing lead to Drudge's men.

She then decides to go to the right side where Roycewicz and two of the defenders were. Crouching down between a rock and the tank, she opened fire to the incoming OpFors.

"There's a lot of them..." Kroos said.

"I am surprised the tank is still kicking. I thought for sure the OpFors would destroy it with RPGs." Fang wondered.

"I think they tried to do so, but it seems that it wasn't enough to destroy the tank." Lava said when she observed that there were blast and scratch marks all across the Type 99 tank.

"Guess this means the 99 has way better armor than those tanks by the overpass." Barty said.

When they were busy dealing with the OpFors, Lin saw a few of them manage to get close to their position while holding some sort of bags with explosives on it.

Swire noticed one of them getting dangerously close to the tank so she quickly put him down, just as the bag explodes.

"They're movin' in with det-packs! Don't let 'em get close to the tank!" Swire informed.

"Det-packs?" Noir said.

"A term for explosives." W stated.

"You never said that though." Adnachiel said.

"Eh, sounds pretty dumb."

"So it seems they're using them instead of rockets?" Kroos asked.

"Seems like it." Dobermann said. "If RPGs don't work, use another alternative. Even if it means getting close to the enemy."

Knowing the information, Lin and the other marines quickly deal with the Det-pack carries that were running towards the tank.

A few of them were taking cover in some sort of mountain of debris. Lin tried to shoot at them, but one of them has a machine gun, forcing the Zalak to take cover.

The Marine from her squad tried to deal with the group, but he was then riddled with bullets from the enemy machine gunner.

Seeing another of her squad member died, Lin had to take them out. She then took out one of her frag grenades and threw it to the group of OpFors.

One of them shouted 'Grenade' as it then explodes, killing the machine gunner aswell.

Lin got back up and fired at the remaining stragglers with the help of Roycewicz. The Det-pack carries tried to retreat, but Lin quickly dealt with them.

The marines keep fending off waves of OpFor soldiers, it's almost feel endless.

"Damn, how many men does Drudge have?" Franka asked.

"A lot." Rangers simply said.

"Well they don't seem to be trained that well. Hundreds of them have died by a mere platoon of Marines." Spot stated.

"Do not forget the 4 tanks." Popukar said.

"Heh, i could probably take those guys aswell." Catapult said.

Then Lee spoke up from the radio. "Bravo Six, be advised. More hostiles have assembled to the west of your position, over."

"Two Charlie, Bravo Six! Requesting air support for fire mission, over!" Swire said.

"Air support, ey? Seems useful in a time like this." Dylan said.

"Wonder what the support will be?" Chard thoughted.

Lee then replied. "Uh, negative, Bravo Six, there's an enemy ZPU to the south of your position. Until you take it out, we can NOT risk sending in any more choppers, over."

"ZPU. Wonder what it stands for?" Closure asked.

"Well whatever it is, command said it's an Anti air weapon, which can be a huge obstacle for the air units." Folinic said.

Swire then nodded before turning to Lin. "Yuhsia! Find that ZPU and take it out so we can get some air support." She then turned to two of the Marine defenders, two of them being a grey-haired Lupo and a green-haired Liberi. "Lopez! Gaines! Cover her!"

Lopez and Gaines both nodded as they and Lin left their post and ran to where the ZPU is at.

Swire then turned to the rest of the Marines. "All right, let's move out! Secure the western approach, move!"

With that the marines left the tank and charge to the western flank where the rest of the enemies are.

"Looks like they are in the offense now." Blaze said with a smile.

"Well i don't think they could take down all the enemies." Greythroat said.

"Which is why they need the air support, but they had to deal with that ZPU." Vulcan stated.

"Lopez and Gaines?" Swire said of the two marines. "They also don't sound like Yanese names."

"Maybe they were immigrated to Yan." Ch'en said.

Lin, Lopez, and Gaines were making their way to the ZPU, which was somewhere in a marketplace, since they could see its bullets firing up towards the Yanese aircraft.

As the trio advances, a few more of Drudge's men came out of the building the ZPU was in and fired at the Marines.

Luckily, Lin quickly equip her grenade launcher as she fired a round, killing three of them. Lin, Lopez, and Gaines then went behind a set of desks by the nearest building across from where the ZPU was.

Lin fired her rifle to them until her gun clicked, implying it was out of ammo. Seeing there were still enemies ahead, she switched to her T75 pistol and picked her shots at the OpFors.

With the help of Lopez and Gaines, she managed to kill all the OpFors. Suddenly, she was hit to the side by a stray bullet.

Lin quickly turned to her right and saw three OpFors near a container. Lopez and Gaines took notice and open fired at the hostiles while Lin stayed in cover, reloading her weapons.

The audience then saw Gaines - the green-haired Liberi, throwing a flashbang to the enemy's position. The OpFors then were blinded, prompting the Marines to shoot them until they're dead.

"That was a nice work, Gaines." Closure commented.

"It's great to see that the NPCs are helping her." Amiya said, smiling.

"And acting pretty useful." Spot added. "In games like these, it is usually the player-character that has to do almost all the work at killing the enemies like it is an arcade shooter."

Lin, Lopez, and Gaines then head over to the building. Lin then could see the ZPU they were tasked to destroy by the window, along with the man operating it.

Taking aim, she then shoot the gunner clean to the head. This alerts the OpFors that were near the ZPU as various shouts were heard.

The trio cautiously stack up to the door. Lin turned to Gaines as he peeked through the window, before being met with gunfire. Thankfully he avoid it.

Lin stack up with Lopez, the grey-haired Lupo, as she then took out a flashbang and throw it in to the area. When the flash bang exploded, Lin and Lopez rushed in while Gaines stayed at the window as they kill the blinded enemies.

Once they did, Lin glanced towards the ZPU.

"Now that is one anti aircraft weapon." Dylan said.

"It be a shame if your aircraft become a victim of it." Noir joked, getting a few chuckles from Chard, Barty, and even Yato.

Dylan rolled his eyes under his shades.

"Yuhsia, plant the C4 on the gun, move!" Lopez said.

Not needing to repeat, Lin went over to the ZPU and placed a C4 infront of the gunner seat.

"Oh now this is interesting." W smiled.

"Alright, let's get to a safe distance." Gaines said as the trio begin to move out of the building. Once they were outside at a safe distance, Lopez spoke up.

"We're good to go! Yuhsia, do it!"

With a simple click of a button on the detonator, the C4 explodes along with the ZPU whilst creating a huge explosion.

"Bang!!" W exclaimed while in unison with the explosion. "Ahahahaa!" She laughed after in ecstasy.

"Someone has some spirit." Sesa chuckled.

Meanwhile, the rest of the ops looked at the Sarkaz awkwardly. The Doctor sighed.

"She never changes."

"Still don't know how she became so addicted with explosions." Folinic said.

After destroying the ZPU, Lin and the two marines regrouped with the rest of the squad.

The Zalak then went to Swire's position, seeing Massey and Hoshiguma dealing with the OpFors.

Swire turned to her and said. "Yuhsia. I've got air support on the way but they need our exact location. Plant the IR beacon and get their attention."

Lin obliged as she took out a device that resembles a beacon. She then tried to find a good spot to place it down whilst avoiding any gunfire coming from the OpFors.

Finally, she managed to find a good spot for the Beacon as she then placed it down. Some beeping sounds were heard, implying that it was active.

After a few seconds, a Yanese pilot responded. "OK, positive ID on your sparkle. We're comin' in hot from the northeast. Standby."

"Time to see the air support." Dylan said, eagerly.

"Are they gonna send in MiGs?" Bagpipe asked.

"No." Ch'en said. "I think they're sending helicopters."

"That makes more sense."

A few seconds later, Lin could see two Harbin Z-19 attack helicopters coming from the northeast. When they arrived to their spot, they begin to unleash their bullets and rockets to the OpFors.

Lin look back to see the carnage. The Z-19s were currently firing at a fortified building where most of the OpFors were taking refuge. The two choppers begin blowing it up to bits with their rockets and killing any stragglers with their mini gun.

W stared in total awe from the explosion. The rest of the operators did too, acknowledging the sheer power of the gunships.

"Look at all the explosions.." Popukar stared.

"It sure is." Spot agreed.

"They are suppressing that building to hell." Blaze said.

"Overkill, but the OpFors deserved it." Bagpipe said, getting some agreements from the ops.

"I know Yan is strong, but being this strong?" Ch'en said in disbelief. "If they were at war with Ursus, they could possibly win."

"I don't know about that." Folinic chimed in. "We still haven't seen the total power of the Ursus military in this universe."

"Besides, Yan and Ursus aren't in a war directly at eachother." Hoshiguma said. "So there's no clue who would win in a war between them."

After a minute of suppressing the fort, the Z-19s stopped firing.

"Uh, Two, you see anyone left down there?" One of the pilots asked.

The other one replied. "Negative. We got 'em."

"Roger that. All targets destroyed and we're outta here. Good luck, guys. Out." With that, the Z-19s fly out of the area.

"Hopefully we get to see them more in action." W said. "Those rockets in action are so breathtaking!"

"Never thought i agreed with you, but yeah." Blaze said. "Drudge's forces did not even stand a chance."

"With all the firepower the Yanese has, from Tanks to MiG fighter jets, the war may end rather quickly." Dobermann said.

Swire spoke up to the radio. "Command, LZ is secure. Bring in the engineers and let's get this tank moving."

"Roger that. They're on the way. Good work. Out." Lee responded.

"Squad, regroup at the tank. Let's go!" Hoshiguma ordered.

Lin, Hoshiguma, Roycewicz, Lopez, Gaines, and a surviving marine defender regrouped back to the tank where Swire and Massey were already there.

They saw that Swire had drew a sketch of a crude plan of their surrounding area at the side of the tank.

When the squad arrived, Hoshiguma and Massey went close to observe the sketch with the latter resting an arm on the tank while Swire begin to explain.

"Listen up. We don't have much time to get this tank out of here. We'll take up defensive positions around the bog here, here, and here, and buy the engineers some time to get the tank moving. Hooah?"

Both Hoshiguma and Massey gave her a nod of approval before the screen went black, ending the mission.

____________________________________

"Now that was such a bombastic mission, literally!" W exclaimed.

"Indeed it was. And i have a good feeling the explosions won't stop there." Sesa said.

"Those OpFors were getting killed like flies." Vulcan said.

"If that keeps happening, then this war would be easy to the Yanese." Blaze said.

"Drudge didn't think this whole thing through." Franka smirked. "He's gonna pay the price." The operators nodded in agreement.

"I just hope nothing bad's gonna happened to the Yanese Marines." Amiya said.

"So far Drudge's army looked pretty inexperienced and their weapons and arsenal aren't that advance than of the Yanese." Doctor stated. "So don't worry, Amiya. The Marines are gonna win this war just fine with hopefully lesser casualties."

Amiya sighed. "I hope so."

"Unless...Drudge has a trick up his sleeve." Kal'tsit said, getting some confused looks from Doctor, Amiya, Closure, and Folinic.

"What do you mean by that, Doctor?" Folinic asked to her mentor.

"Not right now. It is just a feeling."

"Well, let's continue to the next one, shall we?" Closure suggested.

"While that seems good, i need to take a bathroom break." Steward said, getting up.

"Yeah, and i think we need more drinks and snacks." Kroos said.

"I'm gonna check on the factories to see how the progress is doing." Vulcan said.

"Okay. Let's all take a 20 minute break." Amiya declared.

______________________________

"That was such a sick mission!" Croissant said, getting her popcorn everywhere. "And i can't believe you were part of it, Bison."

"Well what do you know, guess i did." Bison said. "I didn't except for me to be part of the tank."

"They still need a better name for the tank, though." Sora said. "War pig just sounds silly."

"Speaking of which, did you see how that Javelin destroyed the enemy tanks?!" Exusiai exclaimed. "It was glorious!"

"Yan seems pretty strong in this universe." Texas observed while eating some pocky sticks.

"They always sorta were." Emperor joined in. "It's influence are good enough to be recognized in Terra. Almost rivaled those Ursus fellas."

"I can't believe that Reunion still exists, though." Exusiai said.

"Well what did you expect?" Texas said. "Rhodes Island existed in the universe, so why can't Reunion?"

"Okay, you got a point there." The Sankta acknowledged.

"Come on, let's go to the next scene!" Croissant suggested. "Oh! But wait till i get more pops." She then got up to fill in her bag of popcorn.

"Okay, no rush." Sora said.

"Do you ever think the Yanese invasion of Drudge's nation is gonna go badly?" Bison wondered.

"Eh, probably not." Emperor said. "By the looks of it, Yan is getting the hang of it. But who knows, he may have a lil' trick up that sleeve."

___________________________________

In one of the lungmen bars, a few familiar figures were watching the MW universe on a medium-sized TV.

Some of the figures consists of the Chief executive and de facto leader of Lungmen; Wei Yenwu. The godfather of the slums; Lin Kojui, also known as 'The rat king'. Then there's the founder of Mountain Dash logistics; Eurill Pides. And finally the founder of Lee's Detective Agency, Mr. Lee himself.

There were also other figures that joined them. Most noticably, the loving wife of Wei Yenwu; Lady Fumizuki. And the daughter of the rat king himself; Lin Yuhsia.

Before watching the MW universe, Wei and Fumizuki went to the bar to take a break and have some drinks, unknowingly meeting Lin Kojui and his daughter by chance. Yenwu and Kojui had a little chat until they met Eurill and Lee. The four then begin to chat non-stop like the old friends they are.

Yuhsia became a bit ticked off that this bar trip gonna end up quiet a while. Atleast Fumizuki was there as the two ladies chat together.

But then one of the bartenders approached to them and said that someone has left a gift for Wei Yenwu. The bartender didn't get a good look on their face since their face was covered by their hoodie. Nevertheless,  the bartender gave the gift to them.

Yenwu suspected some kind of trap, but turns out it wasn't. It was a cassette that has the labels "Modern warfare universe". They all didn't know what it means, but Curiosity got the better of them.

So they told the bartender if they could borrow one of their tvs that has a casette player, in which they have. So they stuck around to see this MW universe and boy were they already hooked.

As soon as the series reached to where Yan is in action with their own firearms and vehicles, Yenwu couldn't help but smile at their power when fighting against the Sargonian - Drudge Tulla.

"Well that was an interesting scene." Said Kojui

"Indeed it was friend." Wei Yenwu replied. "We get to see the power of Yan after they had lay waste to those savages."

"Ha! You should see my son operating that so-called 'Tank'. Ah, they grow up so fast." Eurill said before turning to Lee with a smirk. "Though you did a great job acting as Command, my scalie friend."

Lee shrugged. "Hey, that guy's not even me. Though yeah, you're right. He did do a great job."

Kojui snickered. "You do seem like the leader type. Your agency also proves it."

"Woah, there. Running an agency is one thing, but commanding an entire army? If i was like myself in that MW thing, i would probably fail." Lee said, getting some chuckles to the three old men.

"So, do you have any thoughts?" Fumizuki asked to the Lin daughter, who had kept a straight face watching the whole thing.

"Well, it is nice to see that i am playing a role in that universe." Yuhsia said. "But i'm not that fond of Beatrix being my superior." 

"Do you not like her?"

"She is okay, but she could be a bit annoying sometimes." Lin answered. "It's a good thing she's not here with me watching this MW thing. Otherwise, she'll brag of how she is the CO of our squadron here."

"Well you did a swell work back there, my daughter." Kojui complimented of the actions of her.

"Thank you, father." Yuhsia replied.

"And your Ch'en girl is doing pretty good being the captain." Lee said to Wei.

Wei chuckled. "Of course she is."

"Now what are we waiting for? Let's go to next scene." Eurill said, eager to see more.

"Alright alright. I'm on it." Wei said. "Anyone want some drinks first?" Kojui, Eurill, and Lee all nodded. "Mr. Bartender!"

"Already on it, sire!" The bartender said, getting the drinks.

"Good." Wei said before pressing the remote to the next scene.

_________________________________

And that is a wrap for this reaction chapter.

Looks like there's gonna be more reactors here. Now Wei Yenwu and his friends are in on it.

Bison had finally made an appearance in this react fic, acting as one of the crew members of War Pig.

And of course, Mr. Lee is going to act as the Command character.


Btw, here is the appearances of the NPC marines:
• Massey - Anthropomorphic Perro Husky with Brown fur
• Roycewicz - Tanned-skin Feline with blonde hair
• Lopez - Tan-skinned Lupo with greyish hair
• Gaines - Fair-skinned Liberi with green hair and features of a Green Heron

Fun fact, for Lopez and Gaines, their race isn't just a random pick. For Lopez, i had him to have the appearance of the Mexican wolf  solely because of his name. Lopez is also derived from the word 'Lupus' which means Wolf in latin.

And for Gaines, i searched that it is a boy's name for 'Trickery', so i looked up to see what animal that resembles 'Trickery', and green heron was one of them. So i decide to use that animal for Gaines.

Let me know what you think of it.

See you in "Hunted".
