We made it to the Landing Zone in an open meadow. There was smoke and fire everywhere you went. You couldn't even see 200 yards in front of you. The Uh-60 black Hawks started to descend in an area we grew flares for them to land. We had two M1A2 Abram tanks and four M2 Bradleys securing the area. Then there were eight A-10 Warthogs coming through and just obliterating everything in their path. It was so chaotic with all the gun fire and the planes and......everything.

Then one of the M2 bradleys blew up sending a few soldiers nearby going flying into the air and land in a discomforting way. We had a rocket team push past us and set up and fire into a nearby tree line that leads into the thick and dark forest. There was the explosion of the rocket and some fire but nothing like if it was a tank or armored car. Then machine gun fire came out of the tree line along with two T-14's drive out really fast and just start shredding threw anything in their path.

The T-14s started taking out a M1 Abrams and then moved forward towards us. It's machine gun opened fire upon us and we scrambled behind some of the tanks. There was just too much cross fire and explosives going of the the UH-60 Black hawks could not land. The AH-64 Apache helicopters came through and blew up one of the T-14 tanks, but the other one just kept racing towards us. The M2 Bradleys all started to focus fire on the T-14. The T-14 then rammed into one of our M1A2 Abrams making a very loud stretching noise and putting a nice size dent into their M1A2 Abrams. Then both tanks blew up sending shrapnel and some bodies flying everywhere.

There was a ringing in my ears and everything kind of went blurry. I was sore and tired. But i kept behind some cover and occasionally popped out and shot through the tree line knowing something else must be lurking in the shadows as well. Then a whistle broke through the air and, then a lot of the men i was attacked by earlier came charging out of the forest. Knowing that we have to take out the last T-14 Armata, and all of these new threats. I radioed the last of our M1A2" that we have now" to focus fire on the T-14 along with three M2 Bradley's and the rest of the M2 Bradleys to focus fire on the massive force right ahead of us.

I then got a call on the radio from this random, dark mysterious voice, that i had no clue how they got on the channel and who the heck he was. He said in a very lower, calm, intimidating voice " have your fun and victory now, why don't yea because you're just going to end up dead anyways. You can't escape what has already been done. So savor this moment you have left with your friends and all the people you love because you're finished". I dropped the radio and looked around the war zone. We were surrounded from every way possible but behind us. More tanks of an unknown class were rolling towards us with other military's that we thought, had nothing to do with this war.

I was then grabbed by the shoulder and pulled backwards. " come on we are getting out of here. We have more troops and support on its way, but for now retreat and we'll cover your asses" one of the chief commanders said with anger. " I sir" as I turned around to run and I heard him say " just get out of here and don't die" and I bolted to one of the hummers. I quickly jumped in and right when my feet hit the floor of the truck we were speeding our way, away from all the chaos. I was informed right when I got settled that we had a two M2 Bradleys escort to where the new landing zone was.

It was a very bumpy and not very comfortable ride on our way to the landing zone. When we reached the landing zone the UH-60 Black Hawks were already on the grading awaiting our arrival.there were a lot of armored cars along with six M1A2 Abrams ready to get moving from the landing zone to go help their comrades home. The UH-60 Black Hawks were ready and we started piling in. Then gun shots broke out and we were in another firefight. The pilot told us the remain seated and that we were staking off right now and that the others birds were in the air. The helicopter started to shake a little pulling off the ground, but then we were up off the ground by at least one hundred yards. Then i heard Zoe's radio turn on and it was the familiar voice from earlier and it said " oh ho ho ho..... so close! But I've got you this time and you're not getting out of this one bud" and the radio turned off.

There was a loud noise from outside and it sounded like a missile or rocket launched. Then the lights went red in the helicopter and a siren started to go off. The pilot then announced " rocket in coming! Hang on and stay seated!" And the helicopter then tilted one way and then the other really fast and we were falling fast. That one must of missed i thought as I straightened myself in my seat. But then the alarm came back one and it was louder and a lot faster. Then there was a really big jerk and we went up, then down, then to one side to the other really really fasts. Just when i thought we were out of this mess a huge jerk and very loud explosion from the outside range through the inside through out the helicopter and i closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes to feeling very dizzy and sick. We were spinning in mid air uncontrollably. The pilot wasn't saying anything and we were really high up in the air now and now going down. We were never told whee the parashoots were but I happened to find one in a cargo compartment but couldn't find any more. I tooted at Zoe and then back at the parashoot. I closed my eyes tightly and shook my head. I grabbed her and put the parashoot on her and smiled. She asked nervesly "What are you doing!" As I pulled her to the door the was wide open. " when I say jump you jump, ok?" I asked her while staring straight out the door. "What.........! NNNoooooo!" And I just pushed her out of the UH-60 Black Hawk and pulled the string to deploy the parashoot.

I moved back into a seat and sat there wondering "what next" and then the radio turned on again. " You see, I always win Sean. Now your going to die and everyone else will live. But if you don't die.........more people will die other than you. See you in the after life" as it then turned static. I quike closed my eyes, said a little prayer and decided to jump out into cold, windy air, opened my eyes to see that I was fairly close to the ground now. Five to Seven meters from the dark, hard ground. I soon felt pain shoot through my intire body, and everything went dark and cold.
