The longsword capital ship slowly moved through space as General Greeves sat in his office sipping on his freshly brewed coffe.
The door to his office was opened as six men walked in. "Good morning General Greeves." They all said in unison.
"Good morning to you. How was your two months off?" Greeves asked the team.
"It was, Okay." Viper said.
"Good. Because I have yet another mission for you men." Greeves explained as he turned on the holo-panel. The Panal projected a set of three men dressed in same clothes they saw the rebels in when Julio got caught.
"These three men are top officers of Kaibo. Their camp lies off the coast of Florida. This mission will take place during night, so bring the right gear. You will also be getting there by boat and landing on a small beach right outside the base.
"What about civilians?" Doc asked.
"The base is no were near any village what so ever." Greeves asked.
"What are our main objectives?" Ghost asked.
"Your main objecives are to destroy these munitions crates and to eliminate those officers." Greeves explained pointing to particular spots on the projection.
"Understood?" Greeves asked.
"Sir yes sir!" The men yelled.
[indent}"You leave tomorrow." Greeves said as the men walked out.
Off The Coast Of Florida-11:30 p.m.
The small raft floated along as the squad waited quietly to reach shore. Doc and Boss loaded their MA75 battle rifles, as Shadow loaded his MA5B assault rifle and Ghost did the same with his SG-00914 sniper rifle.
"Thirty seconds!" Viper called to the rest of the group. They all got ready for a huge ambush.
CLANK! The raft hit rock and the six stumbled out of he raft.
"Up there." Shadow whispered pointing to a glow of light above the hill.
"That must be coming from one of their fires. Follow me." Jackson said.
They all hurried o the top of the hill and hunkered down. There they got a perfect view of the whole camp. "Heres the plan, Shadow you go down first, then followed by me. Doc, Viper and Hunter go around to the other side. Ghost, you go to our left and find a good vantage point." Jackson explained.
Shadow slid quietly down the hill into the dirty base. Right behind him Boss came sliding down.
"What do want to do?" Boss questioned.
"I have an idea." Julio said drawing his knife. He then scampered over behind one of the buildings listening to every little sound that was made. On the opposite side of the building he could here two rebels talking.
"In 24 hours the nukes destroy this place and we get out of here." Julio heard one of them say. He even got closer to the men and also had his M56 in his other hand.
He quickly jumped out and shot one of them in the shoulder knocking him to the ground. The other one bent over to see if his fellow soldier was alright. Shadow jumped out again and stabbed the other man in the back with his combat knife, killing him.
Julio waved Boss down. He quickly came. "Nice work Julio." Jackson complimented. "Now it's my turn." Boss said aiming his MA75 at a group of terrorists. He then squeezed the trigger. The loud burst of bullets filled the sky as two of the five men fell dead. The three other terrorists came running as well as firing off assault rifle rounds. Boss put his back to the wall to avoid being hit. He waited ten seconds then stood back out. Boss fired off another two rounds before reloading. Fortunatly he killed his targets.
"Lets wait for the other men to get finished before moving on." Boss said.
Doc, Hunter and Viper moved in a horizantal line underneath a large tower with a spotlight in it.
"Doc, climb up there and take out that guy." Viper insisted.
"No, you Viper." Doc said back.
"Hunter you go."
"No I don't want to!" Hunter said louder than normal. Just then a bullet rang out into the silent night as the rebel manning the spotlight's heart exploded. Hunter looked over from where the bullet came from. "Where did that come from?" Hunter wondered. He then spotted it. A large tree across the way had a man sitting in it. "Ghost!" Hunter excietedly said.
"Hey, where's Shadow and Boss?" Doc asked.
"Over there, see they're waving," Viper told him.
"Lets go meet 'em." Doc insisted as they quickly made their way across.
"There are five of us here. Where's Ghost?" Jackson asked.
"He's up in that tree over there." Hunter told Boss as he held up a small flashing device to signal Gost to come.
After a short amount of time, Ghost finaly made it back. "Ghost, did you snipe any officers?" Jackson asked.
"Yes, I got two." Ghost answered.
"Good we got all three. Julio here stabbed him in the back." Jackson explained.
Boss clicked on his radio. General, we got all three officers and need an airstrike and pick up." Jackson old the General.
"Will do." Greeves reported.
Overhead a UNSC fighter soared over dropping it's share of bombs and did the job. Followed by a Pelican.
"Climb Aboard men." Jackson shouted as hey all climbed on headed back towards Longword.
