(Y/N)'s POV

I kept on firing onto the horde as More A-11's Fly overhead and more drop pods land. The Remnant main Force retreated back as it was only US-Coalition Forces holding the line as more and more gun fire erupt.

HECU Are still on route to destroy the South Nest so we could stop this battle, My Squad was still at the opposite tree line providing cover for us, And the Main Battle force comprising of US Military Personal, TF141, Shadow Company, Task Force Dagger, Some NATO Unit, US Armor, US Armored Carrier Personal, US Air Units, And US Special Forces ranging from JSOC, MARSOC, DEVGRU, Etc.

The Main Force was gonna take awhile to reform and position up for the portals. But the US Military Personal seems to be the Fastest to deploy and may be the first boots on the ground before the Other Factions.

But, to our advantages the USS Desmond Doss, USS Audie Murphy and USS Arlington, the three flying aircraft carriers, Are already in Remnant with the USS Ronald Reagan Strike group arriving soon at the port of Vale since the Updated Carrier was still used in sea.

The US Night Hawk special detachment Group Comprising of US Marines and US Rangers from the USS Desmond Doss and the USS Audie Murphy are a arriving soon. They'll be arriving with the White Hawk Helicopters, Night Hawk Combat Helicopter, And Black Hawk Specialized Armored Combat Helicopters. They'll be our Relief force so we can rearm and regroup and get back on the fight.

I watch Silently as an US Colonial Marine slide next to me while firing his Rifle at the Grimm.

Sgt. Johnson: "Get sum! Hell yeah! Major Jackson, where do you need me?"

He asks me as a rocket fly over us hitting the Grimm, taking out a large number as the A-11 Came to view, turning for another run.

A-11 Pilot: "Good Effect on target."

I hear the radio chatter from the pilot as i turn to him

(Y/N): "I want you to take some Snipers with you and set up a sniping position!"

I ordered him as he nodded, the Black American lighting a cigar before rushing out as two US Marines carrying heavy caliber rifles follow him.

'Jesus Christ...Those HECU Boys better get it done fast.'

Adrian Shephard's POV

I sat on the Osprey, waiting patiently as Marines sit down. Anxious and exited for Combat. The 'Thumps' Can be heard as i readied my M16A5, An Upgraded version of the M16A4 equipped with an ACOG Sight, M203 Grenade Launcher.

Daniels: "Hey Shephard i think Johnson here got the hots for you."

A voice calls out as i look up to see Cpl. Daniels pointing at Lance Cpl. Johnson as i chuckle a bit.

Johnson: "Very funny."

Johnson replies sarcastically as i shake my head at the Jokes.

As we wait for our arrival at this so called 'South Nest' a memory from the Black Mesa Incident flash before my eyes.

Few Years back

Black Mesa, New Mexico, USA.

I quickly Smash an Headcrab onto the floor with my wrench as it blood sprays all over me. I quickly grabbed my MP5 Off the ground, turning around tapping a Black Ops in the head as his blood sprays everywhere as he jolts back, falling to the ground dead. I Quickly see a Headcrab zombie (Black Mesa Guard) As i quickly pull out my Desert Eagle, Aiming at its head. Fired one shot as the crab dies along with the Host.

I quickly get tackled by the behind as i fell to the ground on my back to see...No one...Oh No.

A Black Ops Assassin turns off her Invisibility device, a Girl with NVG's and...Really...Really...tight...Black...Jumpsuit...Snap out of it!

I stared at the Assassin's NVG Visor, thinking this was it as i sighed silently. Closing my eyes, accepting my death.

(P.s. Combine and G-Man aren't in this book. Sorry Yall.)

I waited for the knife to be stabbed onto my neck but instead...I hear sobbing?

I open my eyes a bit as i watch her drop the knife, falling into her knees. She ripped off her NVG Off her head as she place her hands against her eyes. Crying and sobbing.

???: "I-I can't take it anymore...This was just my first day...I...I can't handle the horrors anymore..."

I hear her say as i stood up, silently walking towards her.

I Stopped in front of her crying form as i crouch down in front of her, seeing a few strands of her redhead hair exposing themselves from her rubbing her eyes as her masks moves.

I was very quiet but...why do i...felt bad for her...

She finally notices me as her Beautiful Cyan eyes stare at my Green Glowing Visor of my Gas Mask. I can see it in her eyes, she is young, scared...a greenie...This must be her first day and saw the creat-oof!

She wraps her arms around my neck, burying her head on my chest as she sobs. I slowly hugged her back, the horrors of Black Mesa catching up to me as i remember the carnage that was made and i made.

Adrian: "...Its okay...I'm here..."

Few hours later

We did it...we got out of Black Mesa. Me and the Assassin manage to escape Black Mesa as we look at each other for the last time

Assassin: "...I guess this is it...Thank you for helping me..."

She tells me as i nod, Removing the blood off my red wrench.

Adrian: "Yeah, thanks for not Stabbing me."

I told her as she chuckles a bit.

HECU Radio: "Forget about Freeman! We are pulling out! We are moving to LZ Finch for evac!"

Black Ops Radio: "The Grunts are Evacing now, we have set up the nuke and a timer of thirty minutes has been activated. Move to the evacuation point now."

Our perspective radios says as we look at each other for one last time

Assassin: "...My name is Victoria Burns."

She says as i decided to introduce myself too.

Adrian: "Corporal Sh-...Adrian. Adrian Shephard."

I told her as she pulls out her knife as i look surprised.

She starts to cut off her head piece of the Jumpsuit. I was confused as hell as she finishes up. as she rips off the head piece revealing a beautiful redhead.

Victoria: "Thank you."

She says as she quickly lifts up my Gas Mask, pressing her lips against mine as my eyes went wide in shock and blushing as hell.

She puts my Gas Mask back, blushing as well as she activates her invisibility cloak as she disappears, i stood there shock and blushing.

Back

I snapped out of my thinking as an explosion can be herd outside the Osprey

Osprey Pilot: "Oh Shit! 2-3 Is down! 2-3 Is Down!"

I hear our Osprey pilot say as i sigh, readying my Rifle

'Ah Shit, Here we go Again.'

(I didn't intentionally put that meme there)

???'s POV

I rush out of my Hut hearing explosion and gunfire as i look around to see whats happening

I start to see...My God...A-10's i think?...Wait...that means.

...We're going home

???'s 2 POV

I was simply following my three friends through an Abandoned part of Vale, That was until we hear...Bullheads?

???: "What the..."

I'd mutter looking up to see...a large Aircraft so far away

??? 2: "...What?"

??? 3: "...(Y/N) Is back...i can feel it."

??? 4: "Rey, snap out of it! Lets check out beacon."

(Gonna have to cut it short, on Wednesday is the Finally part for the second battle of beacon. Also why because i didn't finish it here is...Just ask My Co-Author, you'll know what i meant)
