As soon as they reached the courtyard, it's like the shadows knew they were coming. They ducked behind random containers, firing as the shadows decided to engage upon them. Axle notice there were a dozen of shadows, taking them out was a harsh task but it got done.
"Re-group on the door", Axle says pushing forward looking at all the dead bodies of the shadows.
She followed behind Ghost who had pulled out bolt cutters as the door was padlocked.

"The Ghost, always prepared", Alejandro commented.

"On you, Colonel", Ghost gestured as Alejandro took lead,
"Weapons hot, hermanos. Stairwell leads down and out...we'll link up with the others and exfil the fuck out of here", he says as the others made their way down.
"Exfil vehicles are set. Ghost and Axle planted charges to help us out", Rodolfo says.

"With Johnnys help", Ghost butt-in.

Alejandro groaned, "I can't call Soap "Johnny"...." He says looking to Axle who shrugged but Soap answered,
"Don't. Only Ghost and Axle can pull that off", he smirked.
Axle nudged Ghost with a nod indicating that it was clear to continue forward,
"Almost out of here", she tells him.
"Supplies there...take what you need. There'll be serious resistance getting out", Alejandro tells them.

"We'll have to cross the yard to get everyone out", Rodolfo says.

Axle took lead with Ghost as they finally see outside the front of the prison. Shadows decided to make them selves known as they were armed and shooting at them. Axle took out the snipers on the roof just as the others took care of the shadows above and on the ground before them,
"Johnny-that trucks got one of our charges on it. Detonate it", Ghost ordered as they continued to fire at the shadows that kept coming. Soap detonated the bomb as it exploded killing some shadows but not all of them,
"Ka-freaking-boom, baby!", he smirked.

Axle tapped his back continuing on,
"Let's go, move up", she yelled, " sniper down".

"Nice shot Hermosa", Alejandro smiled.

Axle and the others take down more shadows but no matter how many they killed, more kept coming. Whether they would live through the chaos; lingered in their minds. Axle grunted, tackling a shadow to the ground, punching their face, pulling out her knife, she stabbed the shadow in the neck, blood splattered all over her vest and face,
"Jeez, how many more of these fucks are there?", she muttered to herself gazing at Ghost who was killing off a few shadows of his own. She moved ahead keeping stealth as she shot more shadows that rushed in.
She spots Ghost in her peripheral view and sees a laser on his chest. She ran as quick as she could tackling him to the ground just as the bullet grazed the side of her head. She grunts rolling over on her back as Ghost leans over holding her face assessing the wound,
"I'm good", she breathed out squeezing his hand.
Ghost shot the sniper with the laser, turning back to Axle who leaned her head on the stone pillar,
"Can you walk, Axle?", he questioned helping her stand. Axle nods just as they hear Soap call out,
"We clear".

"For now...Rodolfo, where to...?", Alejandro asks as Ghost held onto Axle as they were told to cut through the building. A shadow runs out from behind the door but Soap shoots him down,
"These shadows are crazy", he commented reloading.
Ghost looked ahead,
"Mercenaries, Johnny. Bloody wannabes", his accent thick as Axle grunts touching her head,
"Appears quiet, take anything we can use to stay in the fight, Johnny. And find me something for her head", he said setting Axle against the wall.

"I'll get an op up top and cover by fire. Rest of you, wait for my signal", Alejandro ordered.

Soap hands Ghost a gauze pack, ripping it open, he places is against Axles head, to stop the bleeding. Axle squeezed Ghosts arm as Soap heads up the ladder,
"I'm okay...", she says to Ghost who stared at her, "I'm good", she leans forward tapping his vest.
Ghost helps her stand and they push their way out into the courtyard,
"We'll have to clear the courtyard to get across!", Rodolfo tells them.
The shadows took their cover so they drew them out, killing them effortlessly. They continued forward watching their surroundings, taking out all the shadows that came for them. Axle shot a shadow near Rodolfo who nods to her in thanks. She stayed behind Ghost who saw the wall ahead,
"We need to get up and over that wall...", he says just as they hear the sound of a helicopter whirring in fast,
"You hear that?", Soap asks them.

"Helicopter- -searching for us!", Alejandro stated. They fired at the chopper as it landed behind the wall,
"All stations, this is Bravo 6- Get down!", Axle thought she would never hear that voice again. She smirked looking at Ghost,
"It's Price!", they chorused.

"Hell, fucking yeah!", Soap cheered with a nod.

"All Bravo and Vaqueros...Top 0'the wall. Get here and I'll get you out. How copy?"

Axle pressed her comm,
"We hear you, Price. Comin to ya, old man...", she says hearing him chuckle over the radio. They quickly rush to the wall as Price drops a rope down to them,
"Be advised. Ropes deployed. Find'em and climb", he says.
"Roger that", Ghost responded as he helped Axle first, "we're clear for now but Shadows are on the way, count on it...", he says as Axle heads up first with the help of Price who smiled at her,
"Good to see you, girl", he pats her on the arm.
Axle nods turning to help Ghost to his feet and Price helped Soap,
"Sergeant MacTavish....", he greets as Soap nods, "good to see you, Captain", he replied back.

Ghost stands near Axle as Gaz greets them,
"Ghost....Axle", he says. Axle nods but don't say a word clenching her eyes shut.
"Garrick...Price", he stands behind them helping Axle. She eyes Price as Ghost kept watch around them,
"How'd you know...?", Soap questioned beating her to it.

"Laswell", Gaz responded.

Price nods at them,
"Soon as Shepherd went dark, she called us", he tells them.

Axle stands shouldering her weapon,
"At least she's on our side...as for Shepherd well, can't wait to get my hands on that piece of shit", she said as she helped Alejandro up. Soap introduced them but some Shadows made way to them. Axle takes cover beside Ghost firing at the remaining Shadows,
"Soap detonate that vehicle, Now!", she yelled as Soap threw a frag grenade over and the vehicle below blew up into pieces and flames,
"Vehicle destroyed!", Ghost stated.
Axle turned to the right seeing a shadow had come up from the stairs. She aimed her gun and fired; head shot. Soap rushed in and Ghost pulled Axle down for cover as her gun was now empty,
"Down the wall...WE ARE LEAVING", Price yelled as Ghost pulls Axle with him and they quickly go over and down the rope.
They wait for the others as Price points to the vehicles,
"Those two are ours", he said.
Axle stops mid-step her vision blurred slightly, feeling dizzy she falls to her knees dropping her weapon,
"Axle!", she hears Ghost shout, rushing to her side, he kneeled down lifting her body to his just as her eyes rolled in the back of her head.
