The Only Honor (Based on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare)

Chapter 10- Again?!

"So Irons knew the attack was going to happen?" I sat in the leather chair with wheels in front of Mitchell, Ilona and Cormack.

"Yes and he killed the man who explained it to him," Ilona blinked.

"And now Gideon is working against us with him?" I rubbed my eyes and temples.

"Yes," Mitchell raised an eyebrow at me.

"Great...we're fucked," I stood up to leave the room.

"Where are you going?" Cormack sternly demanded.

"Somewhere where I'm not going to die like you," I said with an attitude.

"We won't die," Cormack made me stop from walking again. "With you on our side, we have a chance."

"That chance still won't win us a fight," I faced Cormack. "No matter how much any of us want it to. I need to get away from this," I faced Mitchell.

"Weren't you just saying this was the only way to get over Will?" Mitchell looked at me confused.

"I know what I said," I snapped. "But after four years of being away from it, I found another way. Those few months in Buckhill were the best of the four years. I'm not helping you."

Cormack only gazed at me as I turned to leave the briefing room with a big screen. Mitchell stopped me again with something from so many years ago.

"We're never to leave each other," Mitchell whispered. "Never to share secrets, never to stop being siblings." Continuing the end with him, I let out a gulp. "Brothers and sister for life."

"We can do this, Keo," Mitchell almost seemed to plead.

"You can," I whispered, shaking my head. "I can't."

Leaving the briefing room, I left the soldiers behind me in silence.

I didn't know what had come over me then. I wanted to kill Mitchell, Cormack, and Ilona. Then, if I found Gideon, I wanted to execute him too. I felt that if I did that then the weight on my shoulders would taken off. I could live a normal life without them bothering me.

So something was telling me that I should've gone with Mitchell, Ilona, and Cormack to stop the plane with Irons' Manticore sample. Whatever was important about Manticore, I knew it would benefit Irons.

"Can I help you?" Knox, one of Cormack's closest soldiers and second-in-command.

"I need an Exo suit," I said, my thick snow-patterned jacket ruffling to my arms moving.

"You look you're ready to go somewhere," Knox looked over my snow-patterned clothes.

"I'm going with the next group of support," I dipped my head.

"Cormack is going to kill me," Knox sighed and opened a hatch for me to attach to an Exo suit. "This is the same Exo suit you had at Atlas. I managed to retrieve it while you were being rescued."

"Thank you, Knox," I smiled.

Getting into the plane with the small group of Sentinel soldiers, I felt us lift to take off. My MORS sniper rifle sat up on my back, barely weighing anything compared to my adrenaline. I held an HBRa3 with a red dot sight tightly, my grip making my gloved knuckles turn white.

"Landing," the pilot spoke.

Quickly running off the ramp before the plane could even land, I looked around quickly. Mitchell, Cormack, or Ilona were nowhere to be seen. Using the snow banks for cover, I shot at a few Atlas soldiers. The crashed Manticore plane was sitting diagonally to my right.
