The Beginning Of The End

Chapter 3: The Unraveling

Sharpshot had to get into position first as it was far away for a much better advantage over the Heretics, due to her Sniper being armour piercing and thermal she could clearly see and shoot through smoke, walls and various obstacles.
It didn't take her long to get into a good position where she was comfortable and stable to shoot, "Vulcan I'm in position, I've got a clear visual on the front gates and court yard"
"Roger Sharpshot, Havoc let's move, Steel let us know when you're ready"
Steel, Ripper and Assault ran down a hill just behind the courtyard, they crouched behind rocks and crates hiding their complete Super soldier armour from any sources of light.
In the mean time Vulcan and Havoc snuck around the back, by keeping out of the light, hiding behind crates, rocks and debris, keeping their backs and arses to the wall to keep out of sight.
"Assault, we're set up, on you're mark" Assault looked at the other two to check if they were fine and ready to move over into action "One final check, Sharpshot you got eyes on the canister?"
She scoped in to see the fuel tank Assault was talking about, "Got it, on your mark"
Assault waited for the best moment for it to be shot for detonation, he waited only about 13 seconds
...."Now".....
Sharpshot's finger moved her index finger half a centimetre on the trigger to set it off, the complex machinary activated changing the barrel and shaft to give the bullet the best kick to kill. The bullet left and hit the tanker causing a chain reaction of explosions giving Assault the best setup.
After the shock waves were finished, all 3 vaulted over the obstacle they were behind with their gun in their right and using their left to push themselves over.
They darted through the courtyard, Assault focusing on the smaller enemies that might wound their team with short bursts of his Auto rifle to quickly kill his targets, he quickly rolled into cover after he took out what he saw.
Steel shot the more heavier soldiers that could potentially kill his teammates with long bursts as there weren't many and Ripper shot anything he could with his ripper, being sort of a back up or shooting anything the others missed. They all got behind cover keeping out of any fire.
The front gate of the vehicle bay opened, as it slowly raised upwards lights turned on. Multiple lights. You can guess what it is.
One mech, two tanks. Steel's eyes opened wide "Oh shit"
The lights turned red and the barrel starting to wind up and opened fired. Bullets flew everywhere hitting anything it could. "Vulcan! Whatever you're doing, do it quick!".

In the mean time Vulcan and Havoc went through the backdoor, or a side entrance, you couldn't really tell. They went in leading them to corridors with patrols of 2 walked up and down the corridors. They waited for the first patrol to walk by, they pressed their bodies against the walls on the side of where they were coming. Vulcan prepared his double edged sword.
Vulcan's trade mark weapon, I should say, is his double edged sword which is 3 inches wide and 75cm long per blade. The handle is detachable to become 2 separate blades, they are connected to magnets and it's own mechanism which holds them in place. The blades are opposing each other like propellers so he can use more specialised moves. Vulcan is specialised in melee combat and short range hence the SMG.
Vulcan gripped firmly on he handles and took a breather, waiting patiently for them to come round the corner. They came talking like two normal human beings, Vulcan whispered under his breath 'I'm sorry', he swung his sword at neck height, hitting the far Heretic first.
The sword didn't kill him instantly, he coughed up blood and started to choke on it. The other Heretic and Vulcan froze in fear, Havoc had to come beside Vulcan to kill the other her silenced pistol. "Vulcan listen to me, they made the wrong choice when they signed up for the Heretics, they are not innocent" He nodded and pulled his sword out of the neck of the Heretic. They stepped over the bodies and ran down the corridor.
All they were looking for was some infomation on their plans. They came across all the different rooms but not the one they were looking, "Havoc what room are we looking for?" She checked her tac-pad and looked back up "Some sort of control room or map room"
Vulcan checked his map for any rooms as they were running down the corridors and he spotted an anomaly, "Hold up"
"What is it?"
"There's an anomaly here" he looked at the wall seeing some sort of outline "There's meant to be a room here, but there isn't, meaning..." he placed plastic charge on the door and prepared to breach, Havoc stood against the opposite wall to Vulcan waiting for his detonation. He detonated and raised his SMG as they went in.....
Nothing. Nothing here at all.
"What? I..I don't understand, look around Havoc" They searched the room inside and out for anything, and they found a single button. "Here Vulcan"
He analysed it, there was nothing, it was just a button but the was a door button, he pressed it.
The button retracted and the wall in front of them slide to the left revealing a hidden armoury of prototypes. "Holy shit, look at all this. These are like tesla weapons or plasma"
Havoc walked towards a terminal and accessed it, "Look these are new weapons that are being supplied to them, they have crates being supplied in over seas. These are going to be used against us in the next front line, I'm downloading the schematics"
Vulcan heard gunfire out side, sounded like a minigun or a 5 barreled turret, Steel called in on squad - com "Vulcan! Whatever you're doing, do it quick!". He heard more gun shots.
He gave a serious, quick glance at Havoc "Havoc go find what you can, I'm going to help the others" with out hesitation she nodded and ran, I looked at my map and set a destination for the vehicle bay and ran as well.

Sharpshot was shot at the mech but wasn't able to pierce through the glass or metal, "What the fuck is that made out of?!" She kept on firing hitting al l shots on the mech but without realising there were tanks. They found her and one tank focused all its fire on the cliffs attempting to knock it down causing a collapse.
Assault looked up at her position,
"Sharpshot get out of there now!"
She immediately responded, put her Sniper on her back and ran into the woods to hide.
Ripper was beimg focused om "Fuck a duck, what do we do?!" Vulcan called in on squad - com
"Keep them distracted! I'll take it from here! Steel if I turn the mech around use your missile launcher on its back panel!" He acknowledged him and readied the tri missile launcher.
Vulcan came out of a door on a catwalk, spotting gunmen on opposite catwalks he started a run and gun. Vaulting the railing he landed and got to a close enough range where he could shoot the first 3 gunmen. Two shots each he took them all down. Next catwalk he ran across the vehicle bay to the last catwalk, 3 again, he did the exact same and all bullets hit. His body had a immediate reaction and focused on the tanks.
His mind went into focusing, for him everything slowed giving him time to analyse. First tank, left one. Analysis: further back, cockpit exposed, engine exposed, turret mechanism exposed. Best option: charge on the engine, distract the mech, kill the pilot of the next tank. Everything was set, he grabbed his charge from his back and kept it in his left hand. Keeping out of sight of the mech, he climbed onto the second/middle catwalk with speed and jumped and rolled behind the mech with a ground pound landing, he made a dash for the engine at the back of the tank and boarded it. A grill was in the way so he punched through it and planted the charge inside. Activated and stuck in place , he pulled his arm out and jumped far back. As he did this he grabbed his side arm pistol and shot the mech twice to get it's attention, the gun fire stopped and it turned slowly to notice me standing there, the barrel wound up again but before it could fire, 3 missiles hit it's back, stunning and downing it.
Vulcan made a dash pulling out his sword and jumped on the left arm with the turret, he jumped from the turret to the shoulder then to the cockpit. The pilot struggled in fear, swaying the mech's arms trying to get him off but Vulcan opened it and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him upwards and throwing him over the mech, into the courtyard. Vulcan shutdown the mech and jumped to the other tank, he startled the driver and tried hit him off with the barrel of the main cannon, Vulcan was just able to crouch down to avoid it so he did and ripped the top of the cockpit off. Vulcan did not want to kill him so he picked him up and threw him into the courtyard like the pilot. He walked upto them and knocked them out. Ripper ran upto Vulcan "Holy shit are you alright?" He said with concern.
"I'm fine, are you though?"
"Fan fucking tastic, Sharpshot ran off into the woods and where's Havoc?"
"She's gone to look for information on their targets and bases, is Sharpshot alright?" A engine noise came out of no where, a Phoenix Dropship flew over the woods. Sharpshot came onto squad - com
"You boys need a lift?" She changed the phoenix's flight mode into hover and flew downwards to land in the courtyard
"See you on board Vulcan" the side door opened, the wall came down and a mini stair case was there for passengers to climb up, Ripper and Assault climbed aboard and sat down in the passenger seats while Steel and Vulcan waited for Havoc.
Vulcan called in on Squad - com "Havoc, hurry for extraction" She replied immediately "Be ready for take off when I get on!" They both hopped on, while Sharpshot rotated the Phoenix sideways for Havoc to jump in.

She came darting out of the vehicle bay and in a matter of seconds she jumped on and we took off. Vulcan looked out the back to a ball of orange. The base had self destructed.
Havoc spoke out of breath "Failsafe.....Activated.....I got it" Vulcan took off her helmet so she could breathe properly. "So what about that shipping containers?" She replied slowly catching her breath, Vulcan thought for a minute and spoke "Leave that for the Agents".
