The roaring engines kicked up dirt and leaves as the giant Pelican Dropship entered the small country of Cameroon. The big troop bay doors slowly creased open. Out of the cargo area walked a lieutenant of the Special Forces squad. His name was Pierce Jackson. He had been the leader of the five-man squad for four years now. This year was by far the best he had ever had. These were the most specialy trained members he had ever worked with.
Out of the pelican came five more men dressed in marine armor but instead of it being grey I was black to signify Special Ops. It was a stronger type of armor than the millenium armor that he marines used.
The five men saluted to Lt. Pierce (Boss) Jackson. Then Jackson saluted back. Then the five men formed a line infront of Jackson. First in line was Sgt. Henry (Hunter) Barrows. He was the team?s demolitions man. He carried an M6D pistol, an MA5B assault rifle, seven frag grenades, two smoke grenades, and a Jackhammer rocket launcher.
Next there was Corp. Jacob (Doc) Anderson, the teams field medic. He carried an MA75 battle rifle, an MD4 pistol, two frag grenades, one gas grenade, and a first aid kit.
The third soldier in the group was Pv. Julio (Shadow) Mendes. Julio specializes in stealth, and carries a silenced M56 pistol, a six-inch combat knife, and an MA5B assault rifle.
The next man was Pvc. Jack (Viper) Henderson, the heavy weapons guy. He had double MG89s, four frag grenades, three smoke grenades, and an MD4 pistol.
Last in the team was a young man named Brian (Ghost) Walker. He was a sniper with unparallel aim. He had an SG-00914 sniper rifle, MA75 battle rifle, an MD4 pistol, and a six-inch combat knife.
"Okay boys listen up, our mission is to locate a downed fighter and bring back any survivors." Jackson told them. "Any questions" he asked. No hands were raised."Okay, lets go." Jackson ordered.
The five men formed a single file line behind Boss.

"Sir, we've been walking now for two hours straight do you think we might be able to take a litle rest." Doc asked.
"Okay but only for a little while." Jackson answered. The six went next to a tree and sat down. They rested and ate for about ten minutes before getting back up again.
The men stood up and arranged their gear. "Weapons ready mode." Boss said to the whole team. They all brought up their assault and battle rifles. "My compass tells me that were only about fourty yards away from the crash site." Jackson informed the team.
Jackson then suddenly stopped, and put his fist in the air signaling the team to stop. He then moved forward into the misty fog.
"Forward!" Jackson yelled. The other five men moved forward to where their commander was.
Through the fog was a small steep hill. The squad quietly crept through the fog towards the shot down ship. "What can you see?" Viper asked Boss.
"I see a large figure embeded in a large whole, and smaller moving figures around it. I need thermal binoculars, does anybdy have them?" Jackson asked.
"I do." Shadow said as he threw the thermal visors to Boss. As he scouted through the fog he could make out that the large figure was the shot down fighter, and that the other figures are either survivors, or enemies.
"I've found the jet, but we need to find out about those other figures that are standing by the fighter. Lets Go!" Jackson yelled as the team tacticly moved through the lush jungle atmostphere. As they came closer they could hear human voices talking.
"Over here." Jackson said as he pointed to a giant rock that would provide cover and a place to discuss what was going on. They quickly ran to the spot behind the rock.
"Okay, now these are humans and I don't recognize those men from any military division. Shadow, I want you to walk over there and talk with them for a little bit. Find out who they are and if they are part of the military. Got it?"
"Yes sir." Shadow responded. Julio quickly ran from behind the rock and slowed down to a walk. He approached the men with caution. He knew if they threatened him pointed a gun at him or something he would have the right to kill or harm them in any way neccesary. Shadow quickly counted the men from a couple yards away. He turned to Boss and flashed five fingers then two. Seven. Jackson nodded as Shadow continued.
He stood behind the man and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. The man looked over voilently.
"Um, excuse me sir, but I was wondering what you guys are doing in place like this?" Shadow asked the man.
"None of your beeswax, so buzz off!" The man finished.
"Answer the simple question or I will be forced to kill you and the rest of your men!" Shadow yelled at the man.
This time the man took it personaly and whiped a pistol out and pointed it right at Julio. Julio did the same as he poined his silenced M56 pistol in the man's face.
"Answer the question or else." Julio told the man.
"Or else what?" the man said rudly.
Just then Shadow pointed his pistol at another one of the man's men, and pulled the trigger. The henchmen fell dead with a small hole in his stomach.
"Get him!" The commander yelled as his soldiers grabbed Julio's arms and wrapped them around his back. They tied his fists together with a black steel pair of handcuffs.
"Crap! They got Julio!" Doc yelled.
Boss clicked on his radio. "Jackson to General Greeves! Come in!"
"Yes, this is General Greeves." The voice over the radio said.
"This is Lieutenant Jackson of Special Forces, we go a team member captured by a sqaud of Rebel troops we need backup, vehicles, or something! We need any thing and we need it fast!? Jackson yelled into the radio.
"Calm down Lieutenant. I'll send some vehicles but tell me about these rebels you saw. What were they wearing?" Greeves asked.
"They were wearing similar to our clothing. Actually about the same thing, no helmet and everything." Jackson answered.
"I think I know what you are talking about. They call them selves the Kaibo.They are a highly trained terrorist organization. If you see any of them take them out. But they are not first priority right now. Did you find the fighter that was shot down that I told you to fin?" Greeves asked.
"Yes sir we have found it. There are no survivors. Positve.
"Okay? I'll send those vehicles down.
