Storm was prone, watching the abandoned trainyard. "Yup, that's a large presence" Storm thought for a moment. "You sure you wanna do this Gutz? It is after a moonlit suicide for two."
Gutz nodded, "Yes... Whatever it takes to find my brother."
"Well alright, Abby and Spell, I want you two to provide cover, nobody gets in or out."
Abby nodded in response.
"Good, we wait till nightfall to make a move." Storm crawled back down over the hill and got settled in.
After hours of waiting and talking night soon fell and the four looked over the trainyard again. "Good, looks like its quiet enough to make a move." Storm stood up, "Remember the plan, we only have one shot to pull this off."
Everybody acknowledged and moved.
Storm and Gutz slowly approached one of the run down train cars. Storm peered around the corner to see only on soldier patrolling the west side of the yard. Storm motioned for Gutz to silently take them down. Gutz slowly and quietly moved around the corner and grabbed the soldier from behind covering his mouth and stabbing him in the neck, pulling him into one of the train cars and hid the body. Storm moved up to Gutz and they moved through a train car and to the other side, working through the maze of once widely used train cars and more, now just rotting away, forgotten to time. Gutz halted and motioned to a pair of soldiers. "on my go" Gutz whispered to Storm. Storm nodded and readied a silenced 1911. Gutz moved up and raised his hand signaling Storm to take the shot. As Storm took the shot Gutz grabbed the other soldier, killing him and hiding the body. There was sudden life from inside the hanger the tracks led into and the sound of an engine coming to life.
"That's.... No... no no no, we gotta move, now!" Storm began cautiously running towards the hanger avoiding the soldiers with Gutz in tow.
"There they are!" Soldiers began to open fire as Gutz and Storm ran up to the moving train and barely jumping onto the last car as bullets whizzed by them.
"Well they know we're here now... Gotta make this count!" Storm opened the door to the first car, it was an empty passenger car. They quickly moved through the car and soldiers burst in opening fire. Gutz and Storm took cover. Storm opened fire kill one of the soldiers. Gutz moved between rows of seats for cover using Storm's covering fire to get up to the soldiers and take them out. "Command, we need a read on where the train is heading, now!" Storm moved up with Gutz.
"Working on it....." A voice responded "It looks like they are heading for the nearby city of Dergun"
"The city?... Do they plan to open fire on civs?..."
They took cover as they encountered more soldiers, fighting their way through the cars one by one as the train's speed picked up a bit.
As they got near the train itself they began to notice barrels lined through the rows of seats.
Gutz inspected one of them before opening it and looking inside. "Dear god... The barrels are rigged with small war heads..."
Storm came over and looked inside and examined the war head, shining a light inside. "That smell.... They... Dear god... They're going to gas the city.... Command! They're going to gas the city! We need an evacuation now! Get the Evac crew in there! This isn't a drill!" Storm shouted rushing up to the front with the engine and controls only to find someone controlling the train.
"Damn it... Those good for nothing new hires..." The figure turned around.
"Tango..." Storm grit his teeth. "You sick fucking bastard..."
"Me? Sick?" Tango laughed. "The only one sick is you and your deserter of a brother!"
"Don't you dare speak his name you filth! Because of you he feels responsible for everything that's happened! and I'll fucking kill you where you stand!"
"Oh really? Than let's make it interesting..." Tango threw the train to full speed and snapped the handle. "Because now... WE GO TOGETHER!" Tango picked up a small smg sized mini gun and laughed. "Let's dance pretty boy!"
Tango opened fire causing Gutz and Storm to take cover.
"Sick bastard... Command! We won't be able to stop the train! All civs need to be out, how long do we have!?"
"Copy, you have no more than 5 minutes."
"Damn it!" Storm began firing on Tango as the hail of bullets stopped.
Gutz ran up and began attacking Tango directly as Storm slowly emerged from cover reloading and opening fire again.
Tango kicked Gutz in the stomach causing him to double over in pain before being Sparta kicked in the face causing him to be slammed into the wall.
"Gutz!" Storm grit his teeth. "I've had enough of this!" He pulled out is signature weapon and rotated the barrel and unleashed a stream of fire from it.
Tango shrieked in pain as the fire burned him.
Gutz slowly got up nearly vomiting from the blow to his stomach.
"Commander! You're running out of time! If you don't abandon soon you will be lost!" the voice from command shouted.
"Grrr...." Storm shot Tango with an electrified round causing him to be stunned "On your feet! We are leaving!" Storm helped Gutz get stabled and they quickly rushed out of the door back to the passenger car. "Jump!" Storm and Gutz jumped of the train hitting the ground rolling. When they stopped Storm could only watch as the city was soon covered in a blanket of deadly gas.
