The sounds from the rotor blades broke the surroundings as the helicopter was covered with dust from the sand due to the downwash.

2 MH-60 Blackhawk and 3 MH-6 Little Bird from the 160th Night Stalker would be participating in the mission. (Y/n) and the rest of the A-Squadron were seen in their full tactical gears running towards the helicopters. (Y/n) boarded one of the Blackhawk. After all of the Deltas boarded the helicopters, they took off and flew away from the base.

Their mission, kill or captured a high ranking terrorist official. One of the spy that was deployed in Syria had located the house of him and the Department of Defence had authorized a raid on the house.

The raid was conducted in night. All of the Deltas had their night vision device on. The helicopters thay flew to the target building doesn't switch on its beacon light.

CC: *Alpha 1-1, Reaper has been sent to AO for ISR.*

(Y/n): *1-1 copies all. Any infos on their movements?*

CC: *1-1, no sudden activities detected on the compound.*

(Y/n): *Copy.*

The flight from the base to the target building took around 20 minutes. As they were nearing the target compound, the Little Birds circles around the AO while one of the Blackhawks landed and dropped the Deltas 600 meters from the compound. The first element will act as security details around the compound while another Blackhawk will drop the remaining Deltas within the compound through fast roping.

Harris: *2-1 to all elements, approaching the compound from North side.*

(Y/n), who was still in the Blackhawks looked through his nvg and saw the first element had already reached the compound. Thanks to the IR strobe installed on their helmets, they could see the friendlies.

The first element then breached into the compound amd began to split up. 6 of them went to circle the compound and the rest breached into the house.

(Y/n): *1-1 to all elements. That's our cue.* He said after he saw the first element had secured the area.

The Blackhawk then dropped altitude and hovered 15 meters above the ground just next to the house. 1 Little Bird landed on the rooftop of the house. The Deltas that was dropped on the rooftop will breached in from the top side.

As the Blackhawk hovered and the Deltas fast roping to the ground, followed by (Y/n). He and the rest of the second element rendezvous the first element. He then pulled up his mask that he had painted 3 stripes at the front of the mask, covering his face but only leaves the eyes.

(Y/n): *First element regroupled with the second. Continuing on the objectives.*

Delta 1-7: *1-7, coming in from the top side of the house.*

(Y/n) and his first element, followed by the second element entered the house and began to swipe the rooms on the ground floor swiftly. Most of the people on the ground floor were sleeping.

(Y/n): *Civvies are all over the place. Wake them up and secure them in one place. 1-5, handle the civvies.*

The Delta that was ordered by him then went to each room on the floor and ziptied their hands. The situation suddenly became a bit hectic due to the women screaming and the childs crying. The Delta told them to remain silent in Syria language as they dragged the civvies into a room where they gathered all the occupants.

Delta 1-5: *This is 1-5. We're going to make identification process.*

(Y/n): *Alright. Let me know if anything. The rest of the elements, we will proceed to the second floor.*

Then, several gunshots was heard from above. (Y/n) could only thought about the Deltas that came from the top.

Delta 1-7: *1-7 to 1-1. We're on the 3rd floor and met some resistance. 1-8 was hit.*

(Y/n): *How bad?*

Delta 1-7: *Too bad. I'm going to perform medical assistant now.*

(Y/n): *Alright. Sit tight. We're moving to the second floor.*

Delta 1-7: *Copy. 1-9 and 1-10 are sweeping the room. We saw 3 armed men running away from us during the shootout.*

(Y/n): *Roger. You stay with 1-8.*

(Y/n) and the others then procced to the second floor.

Harris: *Where is he located again?*

(Y/n): *Intel said on the third floor.*

Harris: *But 1-7 said 3 men ran away?*

(Y/n): *........He might be on the second floor now... Stay vigilant.*

They began to breach into each every room that they encountered, until they've reached the final room. He then gave the signal to one of the Deltas to check the door and prepare for breaching. When the Delta stood in front of the door and checked it, they heard muffled voices from behind. Shots was fired from behind and penetrated the door, almost hitting (Y/n) and the rest. Unfortunately for the Delta who was standing in front of the door, he took some hits and fell to the ground.

(Y/n) then fired his rifle until it was emptied. He then reload his rifle fast.

(Y/n): "Breach, Breach!" He shouted. Harris then dashed towards the door and kicked it wide open. Another Delta pulled out his flashbang and threw into the room. Once the flashbang exploded, they rushed into the room.

From (Y/n)'s view, he saw 2 armed person who were covering their eyes due to the flashes from the flashbang. He then shot his rifle, followed by the other 2 Deltas behind him. The armed men dropped to the floor, lifeless.

(Y/n): "Harris! Go to 2-5 and check him!"

Harris: "On it!"

(Y/n): "Pull security. Check every corner in this room."

The rest of the Deltas went to check every possible place that someone could hide. (Y/n) then went to the dead armed guy and moved theit weapons away.

(Y/n): *Main, this is Alpha 1-1. Multiple enemy combatants dead. Beginning face identification.*

CC: *Copy, 1-1.*

Delta 1-3: "I got someone hiding here!" He shouted, gaining all of the attention on him.

(Y/n): "Pull that person out!" He shouted as he walked towards him. Delta 1-3 pulled a person put from a hidden room, a man in his 30s, still wearing his thobe. He shouted something in Syrian language. (Y/n) then grabbed his head and take a closer look on his face with his flashlight. After looking for the facial signs, he then nodded. "Its him." Delta 1-3 then ziptied his hand and covered his head with a black cloth.

(Y/n): *Main, this is 1-1. We got him. I say again, we got him.* He notified the command center. He then looked at the rest of the Delta. "Begin searching procees. Find anything that can be used for intel. Hard drives, laptops, anything. 1-3 and 1-4, take this milk dribbling f*** smear to the ground floor. We will meet you there once we're done." They nodded and began to do their work. 1-3 and 1-4 dragged the captured person out from the room.

(Y/n): *First element. Secure the LZ for immediate evac.* (Y/n) then rushed to the ground floor to see the wounded delta's. He saw 1-7 and Harris were treating the wounded. "How bad?"

Harris: "Pretty bad. But they're tough guy. They'll survive." He said while still doing his job.

(Y/n): "Alright." He then looked towards the sky. "Its almost..." He looked at his watch. "4am." *1-6. How much long do you need to get all of that shit?*

Delta 1-6: *20 minutes at least.*

(Y/n): *You got 10 minutes.*

Delta 1-6:*Roger. 10 minutes.* (Y/n) could heard some annoyance in his voice, which he just laughed.

(Y/n): *Main, this is 1-1. Compound is secured. I got 2 wounded and need medevac asap.*

Blackhawk 1: *This is Super 6-4. We're running low on fuel. I dont know who's the bastard that forgot to refuel the helos. But we had to go back to the base.*

(Y/n): *Copy. Can you get the wounded to the base?*

Blackhawk 1: *Yeah. We can get them back to the base. We'll land outside of the compound, north side. I suggest you get you shit and wait at there.*

(Y/n): *Roger. See you on the ground*

The Blackhawk that circled above the compound then flew away heading towards the landing zone. (Y/n) then ordered them to carry the wounded Deltas and the captured target to the LZ and wait for the blackhawk to arrive.

Soon enough, the Deltas who were tasked on collecting the intel came out from the house with full bags that contains everything that can be use for information gathering.

(Y/n): "Alright! The Blackhawk's arrived! Get them ready to board!"

The blackhawk then landed and they all rushed towards it. The wounded entered the blackhawk first and the captured target was second. (Y/n) then talked to one of the Deltas, suggesting that he should boarded the first blackhawk to guard the captured target. The Delta nodded and he went into the blackhawk with other 2 Deltas.

After all the wounded, the captured target and the items that they've collected were in the blackhawk, it took off and flew away. The rest of the Delta that remaimed at the compound were waiting for the next flight.

Soon, the rest of the helicopters landed and the Deltas boarded the helicopters. Once all were inside, they immediately took off from the compound and flew back to base.

(Y/n) was sitting in the Blackhawk with 8 other Deltas. They were all a bit exhausted. (Y/n) looked at Harris who was now half asleep. He could only smiled and shook his head. But he also felt tired and could feel his eyes slowly closed. He then nudged one of the Deltas.

(Y/n): "Wake me up when we arrive." He said and the Delta nodded. He then leaned against the steel body of the helicopter and shuts his eye, fell into deep slumber.

Akali was seen in the studio, resting after an hour of non-stop practicing with the K/DA. They only had a week left before they start their concert tour in South Korea. She grabbed her water bottle and drank it.

Akali: "Phewwwww. What a great practice." She said while wiping her sweat with a towel.

Ahri: "I dont know why but I felt more tired than before..."

Kai'sa: "That's because we've been resting for a long time."

Ahri: "I'm getting old..."

Evelynn: "We're all getting old, Gumiho." She said while still practicing the dance movement.

Akali: "Not me. I'm still young!"

Ahri: "Aren't you going to rest, Eve?"

Evelynn: "No, practice makes perfect."

Kai'sa: "I'll join you. I had enough rest." She then stood up and joined Evelynn, leaving Akali amd Ahri.

Akali took her phone from her gym bag to see if she received any messages from (Y/n). But she could only sigh as he hasn't reply to her message yet.

Ahri: "What's wrong, Akali?" She asked after she heard Akali sigh.

Akali: "(Y/n) hasn't text me back..."

Ahri: "I'm sure he's on a mission right now. Syria is a warzone if I'm not mistaken. So he might be on constant mission. He'll be fine. " She said trying to assure her.

Akali: "Sometimes I'm worrying about him..."

Ahri: "Oh? Since when Akali worries about someone?~"

Akali: "Ahri! He's my friend! Of course I'm worried about him. Even with you girls too!" She said, earning a giggle from her.

Evelynn: "I think someone is in love!" Evelynn suddenly shouted.

Akali: "Shut up, Eve!" She shouted back, earning a laugh from Evelynn.

Ahri: "You don't have to worry about him, Akali. I'm sure he'll be fine. He'll reply to you soon." She said and smiled.

Akali: "Yeah... I hope so."
She responded. Somehow, she felt a bit relieved after what Ahri said. But she still felt worried because he haven't reply to her after her last message, which was 7 hours ago.

Akali: 'Please text me back (Y/n)....'

Ahri: "Come on, Akali. Let's start our practice!"

Akali: "Okay, okay. Coming!" She then put aside her phone and joined with the rest of the girl.

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

(Y/n) was awoken by the sudden shaking with the sounds of the of the turbine engine suddenly attacked his ears. A sudden tap on his leg and look towards a person who is one of the Delta. (Y/n) then nodded and shook his head several times to get rid of the sleepiness. One of the crew chief in the Blackhawk gave thek clearance to exit the helicopter. (Y/n) grabbed his rifle and exited the helicopter, followed by the others. Then, one of the Delta who didn't followed the mission approached them with a camera on his hands. (Y/n) saw him and decided to greet him.

(Y/n): "Oi Hobbs! The hell are you doing with the camera?"

Hobbs: "I want to get some pictures. Hey, how about you and the guys doing some posing in front of the blackhawk?"

(Y/n): "Can I have one after you print it out?"

Hobbs: "Of course! I've been planning on giving to you guys."

(Y/n): "Ay! I'll call for them." He shouted for the rest of the Deltas to come back for a group photo, which they gladly accepted it. They then went back to the blackhawk and they posed in front of it

Hobbs: "Alright! Look at the camera please! 3, 2, 1,*

*SNAP*

Michael: "So that guy just hides in the secret room?"

(Y/n): "Yeah. One of our guys found him and dragged him out."

Michael: "I see. How's the wounded?"

(Y/n): "They're tough guy. They'll survive, i hope. I dont want to wear the formal attire and go meet their families just to tell them that they're dead..."

Michael: "They'll survive. Dont worry about that. They will be transferred to Germany for further medical assistant."

(Y/n): "Okay." The only responses that came out from his mouth. He then drank all of the water from his bottle.

Michael: "You good?"

(Y/n): "Yeah. I'm fine. I'm going out. Have to rest a bit."

Michael: "When you recovered, come back here."

(Y/n): "Another mission?"

Michael: "Yeah. House raid."

(Y/n): "Another house raid?"

Michael: "Yeap. Got a hit on another terrorist's official. This one will be no capture."

(Y/n): "Alright. Later I'll come."

He then walked out from the tent and head back to the barracks. The other Deltas had already took off their gears. (Y/n) then took off his plate carriers and put it at the locker with his helmet and rifle. He then grabbed his towel and went to the bathroom.

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

The Al-Tanf army base got pretty busy that day, with multiple M-ATV and Hilux drove in and out from the base. Most of them were Green Berets, accompanied by the Syrian Free Army.

(Y/n) was seem at one of the emptied guard tower, staring at the vast empty barren land, with some dust in the air caused by the moving vehicles. He was in his deep thoughts, but interrupted with a sudden sound of a person stepping into the guard tower.

???: "(Y/n)?" a familiar voices that was recognized by (Y/n). He then turned his head around to see a person that he knew very well when he was in the Ranger.

(Y/n): "Cam? Is that really you?" He said in excited.

Cameron: "Of course I am, brother." He then stepped in closer and give him a hug.

Cameron and (Y/n) were in the same unit, the 75th Ranger before (Y/n) was selected for the Delta's selection course. They've been through thick and thin. Whatever happened, they'll always stood together. But since (Y/n) a Delta, he haven't seen him a lot, except during trainings.

(Y/n): "What are you doing here?" He asked as he broke the hug.

Cameron: "I'm deployed."

(Y/n): "But I haven't seen you around."

Cameron: "You know, constant patrol with the Syrian Free Army. I just got back from a recent raid on the IS compound."

(Y/n): "Ah I see. How did it go?"

Cameron: "It went well. Most of the IS were captured. We didn't have any casualties."

(Y/n): "Good to hear that. Want some Monster?" He asked as he offered a Monster energy drink to him, which Cameron gladly accepted. "How are you doing?"

Cameron: "Doing fine. I proposed to my girlfriend before being deployed. We will held a wedding after I returned back home!"

(Y/n): "Really?! Damn bro. Congratulations!" He said as he patted Cameron's shoulder.

Cameron: "Thanks bro! I'll send the invitation later. You can come if you have time!"

(Y/n): "I'll see what I can do. You know, I can't give you the exact answer. Being Delta can be a pain in the ass sometimes." He said and Cameron laughed.

Cameron: "I know, I know. I don't mind about that. You're the Tier 1 assets so I get that." He said and smiled. "How about you? Are you okay?"

(Y/n): "What do you mean? Of course I'm fine!"

Cameron: "You know what I mean, bro." He said seriously. (Y/n) frowned a bit.

(Y/n): "Honestly? I don't know. I just set my mind in positive way." He then looked at Cameron and smiled. "I got to move on, right? So what's past is past."

Cameron: "Yeah. I can't believe she did that. That bitch really got the nerves."

(Y/n): "Yeah. I can't be mad about that because its her decision to cheat. Even though I can argue and fight her, but I choose to stay silent and walk away because I know, there are things that can't go back to how they were. And I saw it."

Cameron: "That's why you choose to leave?"

(Y/n): "Yeap. I've settle it with her. And we broke up in good ways."

Cameron: "You know, you got a baby face but your attitude is like a mature person."

(Y/n): "Looks doesn't justified."

Cameron: "I know. So, have you found another one?" He asked and (Y/n)'s mind instantly think about Akali. He was about to say her name but choose to shut his mouth.

(Y/n): "Nah. Didn't have the time to do that."

Cameron: "Eh? But your smile told the opposite." (Y/n) didn't realized that he was smiling. "Who's that girl, bro?"

(Y/n): "Nahh. She's just a friend. In fact, she has a big name and I'm just a normal guy with his identity being hidden."

Cameron: "Pftt, bro. If fate had set you up, it doesn't matter if she's the CEO of a big company, you guys will still stay together till the end." He said, earning a chuckle from (Y/n).

(Y/n): "Since when you know how to talk like that?"

Cameron: "Since I proposed. But, you like her, didn't you?" He said as he looked directly at him. It took a moment for (Y/n) to think about that. Cameron chuckled and finished his monster drink. "You dont have to answer that. Its between you and your heart. I just hope that you will find the right person." He said, (Y/n) slowly nodded as he finished his monster.

(Y/n): "Thanks, Cam." He said and smiled.

Cameron: "I didn't do anything, brother." He said and laughed. "Anyways, want to walk back to the barracks?"

(Y/n): "You know that our barracks are different, right?"

Cameron: "But it's still a one way."

(Y/n): "Yeah yeah. Lets walk back to there." He said as both of them walked down from the guard tower, but (Y/n) suddenly tripped Cameron's leg, making him fall to the ground. (Y/n) laughed loudly and Cameron looked at him annoyed before started to chase him. Both of them were running around the base until god knows what happened to (Y/n) when he was caught by Cameron.
