Jason held his arm as the pain pulsated into his arm, Jackson did what he could but he couldn't pull the spike of ice from his forearm or else it would make the wound more fatal. He just had to wait until they reached the doctors.

On the bright side, Noriko seemed glad that she was being rescued, but the poor girl was probably traumatized, Aiden would have to give her some therapy when he returned from his mission.

Other than Jason, no one else was injured during the mission.

The CH-47 would slowly start to land at the helipad, the red lights would illuminate the room as it was still dark, another few more hours then the sun would rise.

The doors start to open on the CH-47 as soon as it lands with multiple doctors and nurses ready to carry off anyone injured with stretchers.

The first to be off was anyone that had any sort of injury, with Sergeant First Class Shino being the first one off the CH-47 and placed onto a stretcher. All of the other prisoners had a number done on them, with Lieutenant Itami having a number done on him as well, but he seemed to be taking it a bit better.

Itami would be the second to be helped off, with Noriko, the ambassador, and then Sergeant First Class Akira. Lastly, Jason would be the last out of the injured to leave, he could still walk and compared to the others a spike of ice in his left forearm was nothing.

Jason grunted as Claire helped him walk down the ramp, walking to a few doctors who helped him to a stretcher as they rolled him off.

Ryan gives a sigh of relief, taking off his helmet and looking at Hideo. "Hey, good work brother."

"Glad to be working with you Ryan." Hideo bumps fists with Ryan, looking to his SOGs before shouting something to them in Japanese and they all march off, probably to their command to give a briefing.

Shouting could be heard outside in the distance as a very familiar woman with cat-like physical features as a few doctors would try to calm her down.

"Claire, calm Druilla down, please. Tell her that she can meet with Jason after he's taken care of." Ryan calmly says to Claire.

Claire only nods, hurriedly jogging to Druilla as she pulls her away from the doctors, apologizing to them before talking to her. "Doctors need to take care of Jason. You meet him after okay?" Her translations were still very broken, but she could get the basic ideas down.

Druilla shakes her head as she starts to cry into Claire's plate carrier as she tries her best to comfort her.

"She good?" Mike walks over to Claire as she shrugs at him.

"Just concerned, I'll take care of her, you boys can get some rest." Claire continues to pat Druilla's back as Mike nods.

"Take a break boys, you all earned it." Ryan looks to everyone on his team as they all nod or show some sort of acknowledgment.

"Roger. If you need me just radio it." Markus nods to Ryan as he walks away.

Mike started to walk away as well, giving a wave. Carrying 30-40 pounds of ammo alone was getting tiring, especially after carrying it for multiple hours.

Jackson takes a seat on a small bench nearby and takes his helmet off as he sets it beside him before putting his hands on his head, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Claire leads Druilla away and to the hospital as she continues to tiredly comfort her, leaving Ryan and Jackson outside the helipad.

"You good Jack?" Ryan stands in front of Jackson as he takes a deep breath, leaning back on the bench.
