"What the fuck happened?! WHERE IS WESSON!?"
"I couldn't do anything! They disabled her, but she's alive for the very least! They shot off Orsis' eye, you know that?!"
"Fuck I should've come!"

Walther and Stechking quickly got Sauer to an empty medical room, trying to fix her as much as possible.

"What do we do then...? Half of our team is gone..."
"We're still going, Daewoo. We will just try harder. There is no turning back now..."
"I guess you're right..."
"Look, you're my best soldiers right here, right now. I don't think you can possibly pussy around thinking you're unexperienced, we literally cleaned this place from enemies with you. There's no way I can call you bad at this. We just have to try harder and be more careful."

...

Filak planned to raid the village/roadblock with the jeeps since the jeeps were armored, and they had armor penetrating machine guns. Filak was more intrigued to quickly save everyone else. They drove down the path, putting all of their stuff after Sauer got better, and got ready to leave.

"Let's do this - be sure to pack everything. We ain't comin back."

After that, the battle-forged leftovers of Stardust left the base for the last time.

"There they are, begin shooting!"

The team opened fire, quickly disabling and killing some of the guards, running over the sandbags and some survivors. They broke through the giant gate with some impact damage, but everyone enjoyed it. They stopped right after the gate to get out and get the loot the enemies had on them. Including meds, rifles, and ammo. The prisoners for some reason, were transferred ASAP.

"It's about time we head out, captain... Sauer is ok, she's her cheerful old self now. But we can't let her fight yet." Stechking walked up to Filak.
"Can she walk?"
"Yeah, but-"
"I'm sorry, but she'll have to fight."
"Captain this is absurd-"
"We cant keep her in the car. We're abandoning them when we reach cologne-russie base. We're gettin out, and then we're gonna be met by Beta, where we will get extracted. Cologne is the final destination."
"Fine, but you better take responsibility for her."

They kept driving.

...

I do not know how long it was... But it was getting to night slowly. Almost evening We can see the shadows of ruined building. Sauer was scared. The first thing we noticed was that the church was dark and taller than usual It turned into a base. The Terragroup Russie Research center became a military research base. So many cranes and lights... So many buildings around it... SO many high and tall towers. The worst thing? It was quiet. No sounds of speaking. Nothing. We had spent the next hour trying to get closer to the church base, and finally got there with a few small fights. Sauer is okay. We're hiding in a shop near the second building near the church.

Sauer sat near Filak.

"Thanks for saving me earlier, captain."
"It's just duty, Sauer... Want some crackers?"
"Yes please!"

Sauer ate some, and everyone prepared to go inside of the territory.

"Our final little rush in... You guys ready? It's right across the block.
Explosives ready, Smith?"

Smith got up, preparing the C4.

"Oh fuck yeah."

They ran out, quickly planting on the gate, and rushing it, killing all guard while Daewoo kept chugging grenades down the gate, while Filak and Sauer shot anyone who got too close, Skif took out the heavy gunners, and Walther was on standby if medical attention was needed, and then Daewoo got hit in his legs. After a bit, Daewoo was ok and they walked inside. Almost seems like they killed everyone in 50 minutes of rushing.

Until.

They heard a few stepping, and eventually saw someone from the top balcony approaching... a group of 6 people.

"Stop right there."

Filak heard that voice somewhere...

And they stepped in the outside lights to reveal themselves, the balcony got lit up.

"...So that's what the fuck happened to you, huh?!"

Everyone was shocked, Filak much much more shocked, but could control his emotions.

There stood Helian, Orsis, Koch, Wesson, Damler, and Heckler. Russie uniforms, weapons, and with the Russie Flag emblem on their shoulders. Filak spotted the metal headbands stuck to their heads first.

"You shall not go further than this base, United Feds."

Helian looked down at the group, grinning, and pulling her gun up to aim.
