Jace's POV
     I watched as everyone that would secure the path ran around getting everything they needed before we made our move. I chuckled as one of the recruits dropped a shotgun and scanned the room checking to see if anyone saw him before he noticed me staring at him with a small smirk playing on my lips as he slumped. I walked over and helped pick up the weapons he couldn't hold and helped place them in the travel crates so we don't leave too much to the masks while we bail out. I looked at him "nervous?" He nodded "Most combat I've seen continuously in a while, I've had long gunfights but not this long sir" I sighed "It's almost over is everything goes according to plan" he looked at me "I don't suppose you have any magic items up your sleeves, right?" I laughed "no, sadly I forgot my magic wand" he nodded as I looked at the group of recruits standing near by doing nothing "You 3 help him get these cases on the carts we're moving soon" they saluted as I walked over and started handing out orders to the rest of the operators pointing them to where I want them. I was about to talk to Harry when I heard Apex on the radio "Finkas hit! We're pinned and we need immediate support, over!" I thumbed my radio "Apex, we'll be there in 2 minutes max. Stabilize Finka and hold the area. Where are you?" She spoke again "We're outside hanger 8, West side heavy contact!" I grabbed the MK48 and the bag of ammo and gear before yelling "Buck! Thatcher! On me!" They grabbed their weapons and ammo before we paused at the door as I felt thatchers hand on my shoulder and a squeeze before I nodded to the recruit and the doors opened as we walked out making sure we were clear before we started running toward the airfield, the urgency of the situation outweighing a cautious safe approach. A group of 4 enemies stepped out infront of us causing me to sigh "Oh fuck me" as I shoulder charged the closest one knocking him to the ground before pulling my knife out of it's sheathe followed quickly by it being hilt deep into the enemy as I looked up and saw thatcher and Buck taking down their enemies with brutal efficiency. We stood after making sure the Masks were dead before nodding and running again trying get out to the assault team as quickly as we can. When we got to the door to go out to the Airfield i paused as buck started to open the door "Wait" they both froze as I took bucks place, crouched and slowly pushed the door open freezing as I saw the wire, chuckling I pulled out my wire clippers and carefully cut the wire watching as it snapped like a rubber band. I stood up and carefully pushed the door open, I lifted the mk48 as I went through the door way quickly snapping my aim and eyes to the right as buck did the same for the left. I froze as my eyes landed on something new, "They got a juggernaut now? The fuck?! How is this fair?!" As thatcher tackled us into cover before the 6p41's tracers flew where we just were. Buck laughed "It's not supposed to be fair" I sighed before an idea clicked into my head "Buck, give me all your grenades" he looked unsure but gave me the belt of grenades 4 in total, I sighed as I spoke "keep him distracted" they nodded trusting me as I crawled around to flank him undetected while they fired into him, more to annoy him than actually do any damage. I saw my window pulling the safety off the grenade I prepped to pull a pin as I snuck up behind him I pulled the pin a distinctive ping was heard as I wrapped the belt around his helmet before running for cover 3 seconds later the explosion was felt before it fell quiet I peaked over the cover as saw only the lower half of his body as I chuckled. Thatcher spoke "Now that's unfair, look at him! He bloody disappeared" I nodded "If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying" we all chuckled as we checked to make sure we were okay before we sprinted off coming to a halt at the airstrip watching mesmerized by the immense amount of tracers being traded. I shook out of my stupor yelling "Let's go! We can't let them down!" as I ran towards the gunfight covering the open area between the building and the hangers quickly. We took cover on the side of hanger 9 before firing the mk48 into the largest grouping of enemies quickly gaining their attention splitting the enemies into two groups - the ones attacking us and the remainders firing at the original squad. I saw Ana look at me as I radioed "When we lay down suppressing fire, make your way to us and get inside the hanger" she nodded as we popped up and fired forcing the masks to take cover I saw as Ana and Axe started running carrying Lera while the rest of the squad covered while doing a fighting retreat backing towards us while talking guns, meaning one person fired their magazine before another fires their magazine while the first retreats keeping the fire constant. I yelled "Reloading!" As I crouched working to quickly replace the box mag before swearing as I fucked up before breathing slowly and finishing the reload and firing again as Thatcher ripped the hanger door open. When they reached us they turned and ran into the hanger while buck grabbed my tac vest and guided me in as I fired at the masks before lifting the mk48 vertically as Axe and Thatcher slammed the doors closed. I sighed while squinting as the room went from pitch black to lighting up, I quickly laid down my MK48 before running over to where Ana and Axe where before thatcher caught me "Son, Son! Relax, breathe she's gonna be okay but you need to calm down, Ana can't work with you hovering over her" I felt the tears welling "Please, tell me she's okay... I can't lose her" he gave me a hug holding me tightly like a father would "She'll be okay, just let Ana work. She'll call you over when she's done" I nodded, wiping my eyes trying to be able to see again. I went over and leaned against the wall, slowly sliding down before burying my head in my hands as the tears fell. A little while later, buck came over and sat next to me "I know you're scared, but we need our leader right now. There's a bunch of new recruits in some of the heaviest combat they've ever seen and they need the guidance." I violently and quickly brushed at my eyes trying to clear the remaining tears before sniffling "You're right, thank you Seb" he smiled as he stood and offered his hand pulling me up as I took it "Any time brother, now come on" I walked over to the table where the rest of the team was "Alright, here's what I need: Tex, Apex, Cobra, Whitetail and Axe prep the 4 humvees, guns and all. The rest of you prep the Duece and a halfs, I want everything done in 7 minutes. Diamondback do inventory." Everyone saluted before setting off to do their job before I turned to Ana "How's she holding up?" She looked at me "I've done the best I can but it'll be a coin toss at this point. She can't be jostled a lot" I sighed, that's the most likely thing to happen. I looked at her "Move her into that humvee and work out of the back. I want her to be ready to move when we get everything set up" she nodded as I looked at Lera's unconscious form for a second before tearing my eyes off of her and focusing on checking everything. After 7 minutes, the engines were running and everyone was loading up as I sat in the drivers seat of the lead vehicle and radioed Harry "Get everyone to the rendezvous, we're on our way" he replied "We'll be waiting" I nodded to buck and Thatcher as they pulled the doors open before running to the nearest 6x6 as I put my foot down and hauled ass out of the hanger while Axe opened up with the mini gun, tearing into the Masks as we quickly hauled ass to the rendezvous. When we hit the intersection we had to make a left I slammed on the brakes as a telephone pole fell infront of us followed closely by heavy fire, I yelled "Holy shit!" As Axe and the other gunner behind us started firing I put it in reverse and tried to back up before coming to a halt as I realized I have a convoy behind me. After another 30 seconds of everyone doing nothing I opened my door stepped out and turned so I was facing the convoy "Would you please back the fuck up!?" The order started relaying throughout the convoy before I got back into the truck and watched as everyone backed up just enough so I could turn to the right and go around the downed pole bouncing slightly as we went off road before clearing the ambush as we sped up again making quick progress towards the rendezvous. After 4 minutes we came to a halt as the convoy stopped behind us and we watched as the maintenance crews and other workers ran out climbing into the 6x6s followed closely by the operators loading into the humvees and 6x6s.
