Jan Torres POV: Jan. 17th 0500
Grabbing my helmet and looking at it, there was a Red "1" on the left side of it. "Come on get your guns and let's go." Kyle said while shaking me. "Ok. Ok I'll get them" raising the helmet above my head and put it on and grabbed my half gasmask and strapped it onto the helmet.
(This is what Jan wears minus the rockets.)
Walking towards the armory with Kyle as we could see other soldiers walking in and out of the armory grabbing their weapons and leaving. Walking through the door the armour looked at us before speaking. "What is your MOS?" Looking at Kyle as he walked up to the armour. "Grenadier." The armour nodded his head while pointing over to another door. "You need to go talk to the armour in there." Kyle nodded and walked over to the other part of the armory as the armour Infront of my stared at me waiting for my answer. "Infantry." He nodded while turning around and grabbing a V-47 Flatline and a P2016 and setting them Infront of me. He then grabbed some mags for the guns and set them down next to them. "Here you go." Grabbing the mags and putting them in there respective spots while grabbing the P2016 and putting a mag in it then holstering it in my thigh. Grabbing the last mag for the Flatline and inserting it while walking away Kyle came out of the other part of the armory.
(This is what Kyle Looks like)
He had an Archer Heavy Rocket and a Mastiff combat shotgun. "Well you ready to go?" He asked while walking up to me. "Yep let's go." And with that we started walking towards the Hangerbay. While walking we felt a sudden jolt signaling that we made it to Holly. An alarm went off as we heard people shouting over the intercom. We started running toward the Hangerbay and after a few turn we came into the Hangerbay as about ten Hornet fighters launched. Looking outside at the dogfights we saw about five IMC Phantoms dogfighting with our Hornets. "Ground team get in your dropships now!" Someone shouted over the intercom. Me and Kyle ran to the nearest dropship. There was seven of us in this dropship making it very cramped. The side doors closed as one more soldier came up the ramp and pulled the lever down bringing the ramp up. "Everyone ready?" One of the pilots called out and in unison we all yelled. "Hoorah." The ship jolted up as the pilot started a quick takeoff. Looking out the side door I could see all the other dropships launching as well. The ship jolted forward as we exited the Hangerbay and started our decent. Our vision started to go white as we were jumping then there was the blue ocean below us. The other dropships were next to us as we started out assault in the base. As soon as the flack started going off next to us I was brought back to what's going on in the dropship and what's being said over the coms. "Fuck that was close. We got another eight clicks left." One of the pilots said over the coms. Looking to my left at one of the dropship next to us just before a flack round hit it's side door as a black and red mist came after the explosion. "Fuck were hit! Lost half of the crew. OH FUCK!" A second round hit the cockpit as flames now engulfed the rest of the ship. It then nosedived into the water. "Four clicks left." Another pilot said. "SHIT! WERE GOING DOWN!" another pilot said as we watched another round hit it's mark as flames erupted from one of the engines on another dropship and a few more dropship were blown out of the sky. "Only six of us left." Our pilot said to the other pilots as we could now see the beach. "Get ready we our landing soon." As they said that a round ripped a hole in one of our engines. "Fuck! Hold on!" The pilots said while the dropship started approaching the ground faster. Another round blew up next to the side door sending some shrapnel our way. We got lucky as it bounced off the door but it took out the second engine. It felt like time had slowed down as the ground was now approaching even faster. Then a loud *thud* was all I heard as we collided with the ground. Getting knocked around as the right side door came off and a few soldiers fell out. No longer feeling the ground underneath me while getting lifted off the ground and thrown towards the left side door and hitting my head everything then went black. Feeling my body being shook and looking up as my vision started coming back to me. Kyle was standing at the right side door with his shotgun as the pilot was shaking me. "Come on we need to go!" Looking around the dropship there were multiple soldiers that had bits of metal going through them. Seeing my Flatline next to me and grabbing it the pilot got up and raised his C.A.R PDW and grabbed a bundle of Satchel charges off of one of the other soldiers then tossing it to me. "Here since everyone else is gone it's up to you to plant those." Strapping them to my belt as we walked out of the debris. Hearing a *whizz* as a bullet flew by my head all three of us stared running up the beach as we saw other dropships landing and deploying troops. Only five of the dropships made it to the beach. Looking at where we were getting shot at from I could see muzzle flashes from three bunkers attached to the towers as they tried to keep us back. Running forward the sounds of bullets whizzing by just got more frequent. Making it to a foxhole and diving in Kyle and the pilot followed. There were some other soldiers here but only one stood out to me. John Morgan. "Looks like you made it." He said while we took cover with him as another heavy cannon round made a loud *boom* as it hit the beach somewhere close to us. "What's the plan because we can't just sit here." Kyle said as a sergeant crouch walked over to us. "We have to make a run for the foxholes and take cover where we can. There are plenty of rocks in this beach to take cover just don't let the heavy turrets get you." He said while another *boom* went off Infront of our foxhole. We all got ready to run at the command of the sergeant. When he yelled "Go!" We all started running toward the foxholes Infront of us. While running I looked around and could see other groups of soldiers doing the same thing. Diving into another foxhole as a heavy cannon round landed behind us. Not taking any time to rest me, Kyle and the pilot charged again leaving the other soldiers behind. We only had one more foxhole ahead before we reached the walls. Diving into it as bullets whizzed by I heard the pilot yell out in pain as he landed next to me and Kyle. "Shit are you ok?!" Yelling that out while grabbing him and pulling him into more cover as a heavy turret round hit just Infront of our foxhole sending sand up and then down on top of us. "Yeah just took a round in the leg." They said while they grabbed their leg. "Stay here. Me and Jax can finish the charge." Kyle said while making sure his shotgun was loaded. Grabbing the bundle of satchel charges and arming it I then looked at Kyle and nodded. We both ran out of the foxhole and booked it for the wall. Bullets whizzed by us and a few hit the ground right under us. Then the bullets stopped as we had entered their blindspot and made it to the wall. Unhooking the explosives and placing them in the wall we started running toward the bunker making sure we stay in the blindspot. Once we made it I grabbed the detonator. Feeling the cold plastic in my hand and looking at the wall I felt a sense of pride while clenching my hand twice and hearing *click, click, BOOM.* Watching as a fireball engulfed the wall then black smoke. The wall was split in two now and militia soldiers were storming inside to take out the towers. Following them through the wall we met little resistance outside of the bunkers. Kyle ran forward and got set on the left side of the bunker door while I got set on the right side. Counting down with my fingers three, two, one. Turing to my right while getting Infront of the door and raising my leg up and kicking the door open as Kyle threw a grenade into the room while I got back in cover. Hearing an "oh shit" then a *boom* we breached the room and only two IMC soldiers had survived the grenade allowing me and Kyle to make quick work of them. Seeing the controls for the turrets on this tower I ran up to them and pulled a lever down. The displays showed the cannons lowering there barrels and a message came on screen saying "Defense tower two offline" grabbing my radio and hitting the talk button. "Tower two is down." A soldier responded to me. "All towers are down. We now hold the line while we wait for reinforcements." Raising my Flatline and pulling the bolt back just enough to see the round in the chamber. "Copy that moving to exterior." Kyle responded as we moved outside to defend.
