Foxtrot squad



I hear beeping right next to my ears. Ugh, I thought. Time to wake up already? I got up, put on my clothes and went to the main lobby. There I met Whistler, Steve, Alan and Church. "Hi" they all said, "morning" I replied. "where's Dave, Mark and Lance?" I asked. " they went of earlier this morning to help some guys that were being attacked by them console's. " oh, ok" I said and sat down to eat my breakfast. Church switched on the TV. "Today America has been completely over run by the console's!!! All Wii fans have evacuated down into Australia. Consoles not dominate America and England" the reporter shouted. Whistler almost spat out his breakfast while Alan sighed deeply. "so….. I guess Australia's next" Church said. "yup guess so" I replied.



About an hour after lunch, Dave, Mark and Lance all came back. "Well, how was the fight" I asked. "The usual" Lance replied. Welp I thought, that means that it was an easy victory. I started up my PC seeing that there was nothing else to do. After a few hours, I got off and went outside the base to take a look around. And that’s when I thought I saw something moving in the distance, so I called to the some members of other squads who were outside as well. "hey guys, I think something's moving up there in the bushes" I called. A man called Zach who was leader of the foxtrot squad ( they are right next to us) took out his binoculars and had a look. He was about to say something when a hail of paintball's showered onto our position. Zach was hit first, well at least I think he was hit first, he was the first to fall down. I pulled out my pistol and started to blindly shoot back at where the bullets were coming from. It didn’t take long before everyone was outside, and once everyone was outside the guys who were ambushing us either retreated or we hit them all.



Once the fighting was over I went over to Zach to check his injuries. He had been hit in the right arm and left leg. I called for a medic to take him to the med bay and check for broken bones. I was walking off to check the other damages when Church ran up to me and said "come on, they chose our squad and Bravo squad to go check out where they started ambushing from and who we were ambushed from" he told me. Then he gave me a xm8 and we went up. As we went up I messed around with the scope that was on it so that it was more close quarter suited. Shame this XM8 was not more customizable, it would have made a great weapon. It took us a bit to get up there but once we were there, we noticed that it was the WII fans that attacked us. "welp, I guess we showed them not to mess with us...especially seeing that we are the special operations platoon" I said. "huh yeah, hope the got the message through there heads, In the mean time lets put these guys in the jail" Church said, and so we took them to the jail (which is underground for safe measures). "you know, these jails are getting crowded more and more quickly" Steve said. I looked around. It was true, our jails were getting more and more full. There is usually a convey that takes our prisoner away to much larger prisons where they are kept. These come once every Friday. "Well, these guys probably love it in here anyway, they got all they need, a TV, food(which is a smaller version of our rat packs, we leave all the things we don’t like in there) bed and toilet" I said. "I wonder what the jails for the console fans and WII fans are like" Whistler said. " I don’t know and I don’t want to find out" said Lance.



It was midnight. I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t really have anything to do. I was looking around when I saw something flash for a split second. I cleared my eyes and look there again. A couple of seconds there was another flash from another bush. I quickly ran inside and alerted the squad. We all put on our night vision goggles and took our guns out. " I swear if you were seeing things man, I'll beat the crap out of you. Was in an awesome dream man" Dave said tiredly. "what were you dreaming about? Women? " joked Alan. "shut it" snapped Dave. We went out and switched on our night vision goggles. In the distance we could see something. Seemed to be a lot of guys crawling towards us, and I meant a lot, 100 to count al least! Ever once in a while, one of the invaders would get inpatient with the crawling and go into crouch stance and run a few meters before they started crawling again. The flashing light I saw was from the recons that were waiting behind him in the bushy area. The lights were them signalling they were moving. Every time a light flashed, the men would move more quickly then there usual pace, then slow down again. Instead of sounding the alarm, me and my squad spread out and started alerting everyone at the base. We were going to pretend we were all still at sleep so when they got to us, they would be the ones that got ambushed. We crawled underneath our cabins while some ran to the vehicles and hid there ready to use the turret once they got to. Me and my squad hid under our cabin while Whistler, Church and Steve went onto a Rover.



Next was the long wait for them to reach our base. Once they were in the middle court everyone opened fire and we surprised the attackers. The attackers were obviously the WII fans. We could tell by both there uniforms and the logo for the WII fans. Then the vehicles started firing, the WII stood no chance especially against the tanks. Then I heard a fwoop sound. The sound of a rocket launcher being fired, then a much more fired after that, I watched as they hit the cars and tanks. Then mortar strikes started hitting our positions. The mortars hit our cabins forcing us to run out in which we started getting sniped by the WII fans. "how did they even get snipers?" Lance screamed. "Dunno, probably got them from the console fans" Dave screamed back. "I don’t but there fairly good at them I must say" I yelled. Mark ran into a cabin, then came out a couple of seconds later with a L96. He stated firing back. Dave, Mark and I left him to shoot. We ran into the front and started shoot. I hit many of them then I felt a massive pain in my left arm. I looked at it, I had been hit by a paintball. There was massive pain where I was hit but I managed to keep on shooting. The fighting went for about an hour and we realised that there was a less bullets coming from the WII fans, there firing became smaller and smaller until they were no longer shooting at us. "welp we won again" I said to no one in particular. I walked around trying to find the rest of my squad. But first I decided to go check out the damage that the WII fans rockets had done. As I walked over, I saw the rest of the squad, all cramped around where Mark was. I thought for a while, then I thought no, that couldn’t have happened. I ran up to them as quickly as possible, and there he was, Mark laid there, the paintball marks indicate that he had been hit 5 times, 3 times in the boy, 1 time in the arm and 1 in the head. We had him rushed to the med bay as quickly as possible, however the med bay was already crowed with other guys. The doctors were able to find a spot for Mark. There wasn’t much left to do so me and the others went back to our cabin. Our had been hit by a mortar but not hard. Only the front porch had been hit, so we had a bit of difficulties getting in.



The next day, we found out that Mark had a broken rib and arm and will leave this platoon. He will be transported to one of the safer bases where he will recover and stay at until the war was over. We watched Mark come out lying on stretcher. "well this is farewell I guess" said Church sadly. "yeah, its been great with you. I don’t think I will ever see this sort of action in the base there transferring me to" Mark replied weakly. Then we all said our good byes and with that, he was gone. As we were walking back to our cabin, I bumped into someone. I shouted as my arm felt like some boxer just punched it with full force. "wow, dude I didn't nudge into you that hard" the guy said, I lifted up my sleeve and there was a bruise the size of a tennis ball. "wow man, that’s got to be a new world record or something man, you sure your arm not broken" said Church. "Well I can still move my arm fine so yeah, don't think its broken" I said. "Well go check on the doctors anyway" Church replied. So I did. Turns out no broken bones after all, just a very large burse. A little later most of us went out to go buy materials to rebuild our base with. It took 5 Rovers to carry all the equipment. We had a bunch of wood and a bit of metal. It took us a whole day to fix the base but it was either that or have holes everywhere. "you know, you really should try go into the world record book with that bruise" Alan said to me just before bed. "shut it" Dave said sleepily.



The next day the convey came and picked up all the prisoners. Its pretty funny watching some of the prisoners attempting to escape. The run for a few meters but with the handcuffs on they don’t get anywhere far. Instead they just trip over and hurt themselves. Then we simply just walk up to them, then throw them into the truck. It took a bit to get them all in truck due to the amount of prisoner we have. I wasn’t exactly allowed to do to much things around the base, Church told to me rest due to my bruise. So instead I spent most of my time on the pc. Every once in a while I would play a cross platform where a totally different war was happening. An online war, with both teams trash talking each other while trying to get the most amount of kills. There was never an unbalance server because every time a pc/console/wii fan saw that there team was being outnumbered they would join. For the next few days that’s how it was. About 2 weeks later my bruise was completely gone and I was ready for duty again.



The next day Church was called by the platoon leader and came back a few minutes later. He said some of us were going to be transported to Christmas island. Alan and Dave were chosen as they were the most qualified for the jungle environment. "well cant be that hard if they only need 3 of us" Alan said "actually, were going to team up with a 7 other guys" Church said. "what's the mission" asked Dave curiously. "well it appears a lot of WII players have been gathering there in order to attack us, which is also why a we have been ambushed a bit more lately, so were gonna be dropped behind enemy lines. I'll brief you a bit more on the ride there, until then your gonna need a lot of ammo and food" Church replied "ok whatever" Alan said. "we leave in 3 hours" Church said. For the next 3 hours Church, Alan and Dave were preparing there bags, choosing which gun to use and what attachments to put on it. Once they were finally finished, a few helicopters came a picked the guys up. they were going to be transported to a airport where an c-130j will be waiting. Then they will parachute behind enemy lines. Whistler was put in charge while Church was gone.



<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">"So what in the world are we gonna do?" Lance asked. We were back to the no action days, just sitting there, playing games and that’s about it. Every day we would go on a 1 hour patrol and that was the only thing we could do. The only cool thing that happened was when an inventor from another spec ops branch invented a pepper ball ammunition (when hit by one, your eyes will have a burning sensation and it will be harder to breathe) but there was such much problems with it after testing the whole thing was just dropped.

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">A few days later, the emergency bell went off. We had 6 unidentified planes in our airspace. I was one of the best pilots in the base so I was chosen to go onto one the jets. I put on my helmet, Lance was my wingman. The planes were kept underground so they were transported up by an elevator. Once up I started the engines, did a last minute check and watched the marshal. The marshal signalled the plane next to me to go first. Then he signalled me to take off. We launched off at amazing speeds and when I was in the air I joined the other pilots. There were a total of 8 jets by the time we went to engage the incoming threat. Then the radio crackled, " guys, the radar just showed 5 more jets come up" he said. " roger we will do our best" came the reply from the lead pilot. So now we were going against 11 enemy jets. We were getting closer and closer, our radar read that they were extremely close but we could not see them at all, we were in clear skies so at first I thought our radar was broken. Then all of a sudden I realised, they were probably flying underneath us. I flipped the plane upside down so that I could see if they were beneath us, and they sure were. "Guardian 0-1 (my call sign) are you ok?" the lead pilot asked. "yeah I relied, and the enemy jets are underneath us" I reliped, and just as I finished that sentence the enemy jets started engaging us. They shot down one of our jets straight away. I pulled the jets straight down so that it was now diving into the ground, then pulled up while I was extremely close to the ground, then I went to the direction the enemy jets came from and circled back so that now I was behind the enemies. Lance straight away fired off our heat seekers, he shot 4 heat seekers at 4 enemy jets, but only 2 hit. "well that’s at least 2 down" Lance called to me. "yeah" I replied. Then I proceeded to shoot at a jet that was fairly close to me. After a few bursts the jet burst into flames and the pilot ejected. I looked above me and saw that there was only 3 jets from our side remaining, but on the bright side, there was only 5 enemy jets left. "this is jet leader 1, we are retreating back to base, were are way outnumbered." the lead pilot said. "negative jet leader 1" Lance replied. "excuse me? That was an order Guardian 0-1" the lead pilot replied angrily. " He's right lead pilot 1, those jets have bombs on them, they would be able to drop the bombs before the AA shoots them down" I replied. The radio went quiet for a bit while I tried hard to sway of the enemy jets behind me. "ok" came the reply from the lead pilot. Then I heard a pat pat pat sound, I imminently shut down the jets engines, pulled 90 degrees upwards, this slowed my jet from 450 mph to only 50 mph in a matter of seconds, then a enemy jet passed right me and I switched on my after burners and pulled the jet straight again. "well I was about to tell you that we were getting shot at and that should break your speed but I guess you realised when you heard that pat sound" Lance said. "hey, didn't become one of the best pilots at our base by being a sitting duck" I replied. I continued to shoot down the enemy jet in front of me. The radio cracked again, this time to inform us that those guys on the jets were from the WII fans, they managed to hijack some planes from the console fans. "you know these guys are pretty good for WII fans" I called to Lance. "yuuup" he replied. "this is gold leader 1, now its only down to me and you" the lead pilot called. I looked around, still 3 more enemy jets. "Attack from the bottom, if we don’t shoot enough to take down there jet, it will be at least enough to explode the bomb and destroy there jet" I called. So I pointed my jet towards the ground, then went directly upwards while lining myself up with an enemy jet. I shot a small burst and the bullets hit the bomb, then the enemy jet started to flame, and it started going down. I saw the pilot eject then his jet explodes. We kept using that strategy and were soon able to defeat all the enemies. Then we radioed the main control centre that all enemy jets are down. They told us to not sweep as they were sending out a squad to capture the enemy pilots and rescue our pilots.

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">When I landed Lance and I walked around the jet to check out what needed patching. The enemy jet had hit me a bit harder than what I had though, had he shot some more bullets, there would have been a very likely chance that he would have hit my left engine. "well we shall leave that to the engineers to patch" said Lance. Then a bunch of people came and cheered for us. At the end of the day we had a barbeque and went to sleep. In the morning I was hanging out with Whistler, Dave and Steve. "you know its weird" Dave said. "What's weird?" asked Steve. "well, when Church, Alan and Mark were here, our squad seemed to be very large, but now that they are gone, our squad seems extremely small." Dave said. Its pretty true, ever since Church, Alan and Mark left this base felt extremely empty. "yeah, hopefully they will comeback soon, they've been gone for some time now" Whistler said. I went outside to look around the place. I decided to go to the jail for look around. When I got there, it was extremely noisy. Having the console fans and the WII fans have meals together was a horrible idea, there was constant food fights and punches were thrown everywhere, the only reason why we still have that system is because it provides great entertainment to us. Also it gives up permission to shoot them if they do not stop when we say stop. I had arrived halfway during breakfast, the usually screams and cries echoed all over the jail. There was a guy who sold popcorn when the meals started so we could have popcorn while those guys beat the crap out of each other down there. I watched until I finished my popcorn, by then the guys were picking food off the floor and throwing them at each other. Although every once in a while we do see a sensible one who actually tries to eat his food. If a guard sees someone who really is trying to eat there meals, that is offered a choice to either say in his cell and eat his food or enter the huge food fight. Once that was over I headed out back to my cabin and started playing some games. About 5 hours later, I received an important email. I got everyone to my pc and I opened the email. Inside it was a video. It said hello Guardian squad, it is my responsibility to inform you that your captain failed his mission, and… the squad he was with was not found. All of us started at that email, "well that’s a load of crap" Whistler said angrily. "clam down, this hits s as hard as it hits you" Lance said to Whistler. "so what do we do now" asked Steve shyly. " well, we can't just go there no more, those guys that went onto that mission were just as good as us, and they failed so obviously, something went wrong" I said, "maybe they were spotted when they were parachuting or something" Lance added. "I don’t know but there's nothing we can really do now. Going there is just gonna end up with us captured as well" Steve said. "but we have to do something" Whistler screamed. "Whistler! Calm down, we all want to do something but we need to prepare and wait" Lance said. "wait for what?" Whistler shouted, " more men" Lance said, were 3 men down in our squad. "he's got a point said Steve. Then Whistler stormed off into his room.

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">The next day, we were given a new mission, we were going to make an ambush on a WII fan base. We were going along with another 2 squads, Foxtrot squad and Goalpost squad. There was a total of 16 of us. Everyone decided to use the tar-21 silence. I had a red dot on mine as well because I was not the biggest fan of the original iron sights. We slowly crawled up to the WII fans base. Once we were near, some guys from Foxtrot went over to cut out the electricity. My squad was right up near one of there cabins, all we had to do was jump up and throw a grenade in there and that will be the end of that cabin. In each room there was about 3 guys so it would be easy to take them out. I got Whistler and Steve to go to the cabin that was next to the one I was at. "you know, when I joined the special operations groups, I thought that we would at least have a bunch of normal soldiers to help us out" Lance whispered to me. "yeah" I whispered back. "I wonder what's taking those guys so long to just cut out the lights" Lance asked. We waited for another 5 minutes and then we heard gunfire. The guns in the cabins were getting up. I imminently pulled the pin on the grenade and threw it into the room, Lance did the same. I heard more glass breaking and grenades going off, the rest of the guys must have had the same idea. I aimed my gun at the door of the cabin across from the one I was hiding behind, when the door opened I waited for a few to come out before taking them all down. Lance had gone to somewhere else during the time. Then I stood up from my hiding spot and shot anyone that wasn’t on our team. Whistler came up to me to give me a hand with the shooting. "you know, this kinda kills the purpose of having silencers" he said to me. The shooting went on for another 30 minutes or so. I had only 1 spare clip left and a retreat was called. We all retreated from the WII fan base as 2 helicopters came in and started giving us air support. It was awesome watching those helicopters destroy completely everything. Then a few Rovers came and picked us up for extraction. Once I got back to base I waited for the rest to come back. Whistler and Steve came back, but Lance didn't, I searched all around the base for him, but he wasn’t there. Turns out that 3 people didn’t come back. "looks like were gonna have to go back" said Steve. "yeah " I replied. We were to go back the next day.

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">At about 3, everyone who was going on the raid got ready, we were going to strike with full force this time, we had 6 helicopters on standby and we were going to go in on 10 Rovers that had a machine gun mounted on them. A total of 7 squads were going in this time. At 3 A.M, everything is still pretty dark but we weren't planning on a quite entry, we went at full speed into there base. I got of the Rover the second it stopped. I shot as much as I could, then started searching for a jail. One of the men called out and said that they found it. I ran to it. I bumped into Steve on the way there, "you go, I am going to stay out here and keep shooting down those guys, this base is a lot larger then we though" he said to me. I nodded and ran to the jail entry door. One of the guys put a charge on it, then counted to 3 and the door blew up. 3 men rushed in but were imminently gunned down. Then another guy threw a grenade into the building and the gun firing stopped. I looked at him, it was Stark, the platoon leader. I ran in and tried to navigate my way to the main control room but there was a lot of guards, I started to take down as many as I could and then about another 4 or so men ran in and helped me. Once the path to the control room was clear I ran in there. I kicked down the door and there were 3 guards in there monitoring the cells, I swept across the room and got them all. I opened all the cells but there wasn’t much people who got out, most of the cells were empty, I looked around the cameras and after a while, I finally found Lance. I ran outside to meet him, once this was down we were able to call in the helicopters to help us with the fight outside, we were loosing the fight outside, we had underestimated the amount of people at this base. Once the helicopters got here, the odds were evened out and we were able to take down all the enemies. A little while later, some guys from the basic troops arrived and started loading all the WII fans onto cars and were ready to transport them to jail. In total we lost 26 men. 12 of those will not be allowed to fight again, 10 will come back and the rest will be transferred to a different base.

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">When I got back to base, I received an email, it was from Christmas island, I quickly got everyone near the computer. I opened up the letter, it was a voice file. I opened it. It sounded like someone was running, and it said "hey guys, its me, Church, just saying, don’t worry about the guys on this island to much, there just a few newbies that are still being trained, the real reason we disappeared is because we were betrayed by one of the guys who parachuted with us. Alan is gone but I'm still here with Dave and 4 more guys. We have no idea where the traitor or what his real name is, no one recognised him but what we do know is that he has Alan and the rest of the guys, over and out." We all stated at the computer. Then Whistler ran out and he called back I'm getting Stark. After Stark saw the email he readied another parachute team to recover the lost members and continue the mission they were meant to do.

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">The next day a few little birds came to pick us up. there was no guns on it so it was able to fit 4 people at once. Our bags were stuffed with food, ammo and spare clothes. We were using XM8's with grenade launchers and an ACOG on them. The helicopter took us to an airstrip. There was a C-130 waiting for us. We all boarded on and got ready. The C-130J took us over to Christmas island. We had to parachute out. We all waited for the go signal. We put all our bags into 3 capsules that have parachutes on them, once the go signal was given we pushed the capsules out and then we all jumped out of the plane. I looked to my left and I saw Whistler and Lance. Steve was on my right. We got as close to the ground as possible before deploying our parachutes. We were almost at the ground when we started to get fired upon. I landed and scurried for some cover. I was trying to figure out where the firing was coming from but it was night and it was hard to tell who was where.

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">I looked around trying to see any muzzle. Eventually I saw a small flash and started firing that way. After about 3 clips the firing ceased. I kept on high alert. Then i felt something touch my back. I jumped and pointed my gun that way. Whister looked at me, then he started laughing. "should have seen your face" Whister said. Then we saw a red flare go off, this mean that the danger was over and we went to regroup. I realised that Lance wasn't there. "Hey Steve, have you seen Lance?" I asked. "nope" came the reply. I started looking around but I couldn't find him. I ended up ordering everyone to spread out and search for him. After about a half hour search every met back up. One of them came up with a very injured Lance. "He won't be going on any further than this" one of the soilders said. I sadly nodded. The platoon leader Stark came up to me and said "I'll get a squad to look after him until med evac arrives, right now we have a mission to continue." I nooded and went back to Whistler and Steve, "Come on, we gotta find Church and Dave" I said. The next few weeks were mostly just patrolling the island, ever since we arrived, 10 platoons of normal soilders had landed and have been trying to find the missing guys.

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">It's been 5 weeks in, we have moved finding Church to our secondary objective, our primary is to now take down the Wii base. We waited until it was dark, then we put on our nightvision goggles. We slowley started to creep towards the Wii base, there was a very little amount of guards on patrol. A sniper squad had already set themselves up some distance away ready to shoot on our mark. There was also a bunch of normal soilders who were ready to jump out and help us if needed. We waited for about another hour and by then there was only about 10 guards left. We gave the signal to the sniper to take down the guards. Within a couple of seconds all 10 guards were down. We stood up and started running at the Wii base and signaled the normal soilders to attack aswell. We managed to overrun there base in less then a minute. The Wii fans were completley offguard and we easily took them all out while they were still trying to get out of bed. After we captured all the Wii fans, one of the guys from our platoon said that they had found Church and everyone else in a underground jail in the base. I ran over there as quickly as i could and met up with Church and Davewho seemed pretty sick. I wasn't sure what to say so i just said hi to Church. He was to tired to reply so he just smiled. The next day a 2 Opsreys came to pick us up. Dave who was still able to speak told me that they had taken Alan somewhere although he wasn't sure where.

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">When I got back to base, I learnt that a traning base was being built about 3 km west of us, I went with Whister and Steve to take a look at it. When we got there, we saw hundres of people working on the base and 25 Golams carrying building equipment. The base was already half done because of the amount of workers there. The traning base that they were making was going to be able to hold 1000 recruits at a time. "So, were finally gonna be able to get a bit of support if we ever needed some" Whister joked. "Yup" Steve replied. When we got back to the base, Stark came up to us with a grin on his face. "We've been given a big mission, we leave in 4 weeks" he said. "where are we going?" I asked. The reply was America.
