Codec call

Kawasaki: Jericho, are you there?

Jericho: We're at the old building, we had to stay at night, before we reach to Kastovia.

X12: And that's not all, we found the location of Nikolai Karkivo wareabout, its at the fortress in Kastovia near the Verdansk too. But right now, Karkivo's busy putting the finishing touches on the treaded Behemoth machine called Shagohod.

Kawasaki: Shagohod?

X12: It's a nuclear armed tank, capable of launching nuke in solo. Now Shagohod is already finished the Phase 2 test, the true form. Once the final preparations are complete, they'll have no more use for him.

Kawasaki: So that means that Shagohod you name that machine is preparing for Phase 2, I've never mentioned the government built gigantic machines, but Only I knew is Legged robot platform and Multi-legged platform.

X12: Yeah, it's kinda base on heights. The colonel won't have any qualms about killing him if he thinks the CIA is closing in. So Fiasconovich told us that we should be able to get there from the mountains to the north through an underground tunnel by Mobility vehicle...

Kawasaki: Fiasconovich?

X12: He even gave me the key to the warehouse.

Kawasaki: Why?

X12: Because he was drunk, I guess.

Kawasaki: *disbelief* You've got to be kidding me.

X12: Tch, Hell if I know.

Codec end

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

X12: We'll we have to get the mountain to get mobility vehicle however, there's a problem...

Jericho: What problem?

Jericho: *thinking* I think have an idea.

X12: Sure...

Kawasaki: Your commander Simon handed me a info files about the Cobra units. One of the Cobras is still there somewhere in the forest, very close to the mountains first. He's legendary sniper called The End.

X12: Never heard of him, all I could tell he died by Naked snake. That ridiculously old guy, right?

Kawasaki: *sigh* Don't underestimate him, he pretty much old. Anyway... he's known as the father of modern sniping.

X12: Is he alone? No spotter?

Kawasaki: Mmmphhh, no, he's all by himself. Apparently, he doesn't need a spotter. But apparently the entire forest is on his side...

X12: The forest...

Kawasaki: You better stay here, he's here somewhere, 

X12: Yeah, I'd hate to have it be the end for me.

Hadi: I beg of you two...

X12 and Jericho ready their guns, pointing at each area in the forest, hearing a voice.

Hadi: ... grant me the strength to take this final prey.

X12: Huh!

The light came out of nowhere during the night, while Hadi stood still.

Hadi: Let me linger in this world. I have to thank you... if you hadn't shown up, would have to be eternal. *stands up* Can you hear me, Bell? I am here to send you two to your ultimate fate! You'll make a fine quarry for my final hunt!

Both stood silently, unknown to the light bright around the sky, they prepare to face Hadi as two hid themselves on the tree branch contact Kawasaki

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Codec call

Kawasaki appeared on her screen

X12: Hey commander, I found him, it seems something familiar before the lights around him.

Kawasaki: That means he possess The End.

X12: Well Keagon gave me experience sniping in urban and marine environments...

Kawasaki: What about the forest?

X12: Yeah, it divided into three areas, river, plateau and clearing...

Kawasaki: He should be lying in waiting for you and Jericho in one of those places

X12: Sounds like this may take awhile.

Kawasaki: Be careful, thought, keep an eye on Negev team for me.

X12: I do exactly I could.

Codec end

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

X12 use his finger to single Jericho to move to the forest, so they have to make sure if Hadi make a first shot. Both began separated, X12 first check the environment around the forest, he searches every in each areas, then he had to use Night vision goggles to him.

He walk slowly towards Hadi behind, he took out a combat knife and his pistol walk slowly towards him, before he pulled the trigger, Hadi simply quickly turned around and disarm his pistol.

Hadi: Gotcha now?

*BANG*

X12: Your done now?

Hadi: Tch, I don't thinks so...

Hadi pulled out a flashbang, stunned X12 and then disappeared. The camera changed to Jericho who is in the sea area of the forest, she hid behind the tree, noticed Hadi stood on medium cliff, she took aim at Hadi who is in his position near the water, she takes a shot only hit on the torso and left shoulder, soon it disappeared, into the long grass, she prossessed the chase Hadi wareabouts, only change to X12 who is in the long grass using the night vision to track down Hadi's footsteps, Hadi listened to the forest, as the environment guides him. X12 must carefully, walk slowly towards the edge of the cliff, a short edge of the forest, he simontanously, sneak behind Hadi, then preform a CQC moves, but Hadi intervened him, hits on the ground.

Hadi: Too bad for you, but the show goes on.

*BANG*

With Hadi final before he shoots X12, he was hit on the chest by Jericho who stood behind Hadi, while X12 laid on the ground after he got knocked down. X12 gets up seeing Hadi feel to the ground after taking hit by Jericho. 

X12 stood up and looks at Hadi's injury on the ground speaking to the forest.

Hadi: *injury* Spirit of the forest... I thank you. Soon your previous fellow, the original The End and The Boss... would be proud of you...

X12: *whisper* Me?

X12 and Jericho listened to Hadi's final words meanwhile a parrots landed on Hadi's chest feeling his heart won't make it more time

Hadi: The time has come... for a younger generation to rise... I've been so many years since three wars, and my job comes to a close... to end it all...

Hadi looks at his newer companion parrot, release and handed to X12 as it sits on his shoulder.

Hadi: *to his former parrot* You are free now... *to X12* Look after him... I will stay in the peace in quiet forest with no wars...

With Hadi's final words, the explosion ignited coming from Hadi's body with all the particles of Camo floats around the wind blew it away as the light finally faded away.

Jericho and X12 then prepare to buried Hadi and pay respect after his fight. Soon or later, the two walked back to the old building. Jericho seen touching Hadi's old companion and know X12's new companion.

X12: *thought* Hadi fought in three wars... I've never seen he wanted to live in normal peace in quiet place... I wish I could... but no matter what, I will find the way to get Jessica back.

The Parrot flew onto Jericho's shoulder, making her giggles, as she uses her finger to touch his feather of parrots.
