A Hologram map of Verdansk appears with enhanced images of the enemy area including a compound.

Jones: Airstrikes are hitting enemy positions in Verdansk. URNC and Armstrice will begin a campaign to retake the Verdansk against terrorists. Intel confirms a base of AQ fighters and an OpFor base within the valley. There were three houses, confirmed to be AQ and OpFor's base.

An Image appeared of Silver Wolves, Eagle Flyers, Kraken Swift Squad, Noah Walker, Logan, Juan, Louis, Los Vaqueros, Cecelia, Team Fireborn, Cronen Squall, M16, and Sun Jimei's T-Doll Team alongside US Marines and New Federation special forces units.

We see Irene teaching M16 to speak Spanish while Cronen Squall listens.

Logan: Like old times, Diego?

The group before entering the door, M16 grabbed the door nobbed but Cronen Squall halt.

Cronen Squall: Wait!

M16: What is it? 

Cronen Squall: AQ, know they plan a trap. Remember Si esos enemigos colocan una trampa, usa granadas o granadas aturdidoras. As I say, Vaqueros always like challenges back when they challenge Cartels.

Irene: *Chuckles* I like that, Vargas.

Cronen Squall pulls out a grenade pin, open the door, throw and shut the door as OpFor panic at the grenade in the manhole.

OpFor Soldier 1: *Arabic* Grenade!

Then they heard an explosion behind the door, they enter the room seeing dead OpFor and the manhole was decimated.

M16: Manhole?

FSS Hurricane: Those are technique just like in Vietnam war, were Vietcong use their techniques against American forces.

The group enter the building. Noah and Angelia see Aiden kill an OpFor soldier with a Tomahawk to the head, before retrieving the knife. Noah with FSS Hurricane moves up the stairs to the second level.

FSS Hurricane approaches a door only to fired upon and hit by an AQ soldier.

FSS Hurricane: Agh - I'm hit!

 He quickly scampers out of the way.

M16 pull the a flashbang pin, throw the flashbang at the hole of the door, when they hear a loud bang, Noah quickly kills the lone OpFore soldier before going to check on FSS Hurricane who is lying against a hand railing.

FSS Hurricane: Agh... Fuck-

FSS Hurricane: I'm fine... there's one in that hallway.

Logan: Noah, finished them off, we'll patch him up.

Noah enters the hallway, seeing OpFor with rocket launcher, he instantly, finished him off with AMR9.

Noah: Dad, enemy rocket's down.

Logan: *COMMS* Nice job Noah.

Noah moves down the hallway and enters a room filled with computers and servers. A woman who is huddled over a dead AQ fighter spots Noah and fires on him with SMG, but Noah shoots the woman.

Noah: Fuck...

Aiden: *COMMS* Spear, are you okay?

Noah: I'm fine... that woman is attempt to shoot at me...

The West, and East including Union of Rosstarist Nation Coalition (URNC) must pay for a century of hostile acts against us. Together, we will avenge the death of General Mohammad.

If we must, we will retaliate! We hold your soldiers and generals directly responsible for assassinating General Mohammad... Our brave General was executed by the West! The perpetrators of General Mohammad's execution must be sentenced to death penalty and world must witness the deaths of those responsible!! The killers must be executed in public for the world to see! Just like we did in Urkizstan executing President Al-Fulani!! The West, East and URNC will pay for their hostile aggression on my nation and our noble leaders. Because, they are lawless cowards who kill from afar. We will invade your borders and fight you face to face, like warriors!!
