"What's your status?"
"Comin' your way."
"Copy we're on the move"
"Heads up on the helo"
"Looks like we're outta of his line o' sight."
"And we stay out of it" Shera said.
"Cell block. Entry's ahead. Shadows blocking the way."
"Is there even a question of what we do?" Shera asked.
"Let's send 'em to hell and get inside."
They walk to the entrance, Soap killing the Shadows.
"All clear"
"It's locked"
"We'll need to breach it"
"No, rudy- knock."
"Are you dumb" Shera asked confused. They go off to the side.
"On me."
A shadow opens the door, and robolfo grabs him. They all kill the ones in there. They walk in more and get bombard with more shadows killing them.
"Enemies on the second deck"
"More comin' down the stair-!" They shoot at the shadows.
"Soap, we'll keep 'em busy up top, press forward...!" Soap walks forward, while Shera follows behind him.
"Coming up behind you"
"Alejandro's up here, lets go"
"Alejandro down the hall, right side"
"Expect contact..."
"We give 'em hell" Shera says to soap as the head to where alejandro is.
"Come on, you shadow fucks-- !!"
"There's alejandro cell... open it up, i'll cover you"
"Johnny, when I pop this lock, you push in." The four stand by the door, Ghost ready to open the lock, Soap ready as well, rodolfo and Shera standing by.
"This is what we came for..."
"He might be hostile, be careful" Shera says to soap.
"Alejandro-" Alejandro grabs Soap and slams him to the wall, as soap struggles to get free.
"Al- it's me, hermano."
"Colonel, relax, it's us..."
"Soap!!"
"Rudy, Ghost, Shera...!"
"Didn't think we'd leave you did you?"
"What the fuck took you so long, pendejos?"
"Place is crawling with shadows. There'll be hell ahead" Rodolfo hands alejandro a gun.
"Let's fight fire with fire."
"There's more Vaqueros in the cell upstairs."
"I'll tell the Shadows the free 'em" Shera says
"They won't listen to you"
"And what if their my spies, my little birds, so to say? Completely loyal to me and only me" Shera says smirking. Soap smirks as well.
"I may be young, Ghost. But at least, i can make a plan that works"
"Time to get 'em out."
"Orale, on you, rodolfo." they ran out of the cell.
"You seen Graves here?"
"No, but I plan to pay that carbron a special visit."
"Me too"
"All of us, I think."
"They have guard on the all the floors, be ready"
They move out and the shadows start to shoot.
"Riot shield"
"Throw whatever you got at them!"
"Motherfuckers"
"Kill everything that moves!" (just great advice Alejandro)
"Think we're clear" they walk past the shadows, screaming as they burn alive.
"Los vaqueros are locked in these cells"
"Here we are vaqueros... time to go home!!"
"We're here my brothers, we'll get you out!"
About 5 shadows run to where they are.
"Empress, īlon māzigon" (we came) one of them yells.
"Skoros gūrotan ao sīr bōsa, jon?"(what took you so long, jon?) Shera asked.
"Bona's nykeā bōsa vestriarzir"(that's a long story) Jon repliced.
"Don't worry, he's a friend" Shera said to the other.
"We breaching the door?"
"No, the doors are powered. Controls are in the command post across the hall. If we breach 'em, it would alert everyone to other position and this would be all for nothing." Jon repliced, one of the other shadow already heading off the command post.
"He's got it." they stand by as the shadow opens the cell.
"My brothers in arms... Sergeant parra no has guns, take one and hold here. The shadows are Shera spies, they are friends"
"Rest of you with me" The vaqueros grab a gun.
"Right with, ya"
"This was the mess hall."
"Let's make a mess..." They all jump down, but jon pulls Shera aside.
"Empress, there something I need to tell you" He says.
"Not here, Jon"
"It's about graves"
"Go on"
"Basically, this was all ordered by general shepherd, to take all of you out"
"Let me guess, because we were getting to close to a truth"
"Exactly, apparently two months ago, Shepherd used shadow company to transport missiles to the middle east. This transport got intercept by konni group. The missiles were stolen and all the shadows working on it, were killed. They cover it up" Shera reacts but not with shocked, like she already known.
"The cover up always worse then the crime"
"It gets worse, this transport were illegal, meani-"
"If we found out, then everyone else would, and they would be in trouble" Shera sighs.
"Right"
"Thank you, jon. Mostly for a job well done. Now we have someone to kill" The two jump down and join the rest, by a door.
"It's padlocked"
"I got it"
"The Ghost, always prepared"
"On you, colonel" Alejandro kicks the door open.
"Weapons hot, hermanos. Stairwell leads down and out... we'll link up with the others and exfil the fuck out of here" They walk down the stairs.
"Exfil vehicles are set. Ghost planted charges to help us get out"
"With johnny help"
"I can't call soap "johnny"..."
"Don't, only Ghost can pull that off"
"Of course." Shera says.
"We'll have to cross the yard to get everyone out."
"Lead the way, soap- let's give these sombres hell..."
They head out and the shadows start shooting at them.
"Sniper on the roof"
"Sniper down."
"Good shot, hermano!"
"Johnny- that trucks got one of our charges on it. Detonate it"
"Here it comes" Soap presses a button and the truck explode.
"Ka-freakin-boom, baby-!"
"Good effect, let's move up"
They run to hide away, while shadows start shooting at them harder.
"Johnny, that turret's near our truck bomb, hit it-!!"
"Stand clear" Soap blows up the truck.
"Gaun yersel, ya scum!"
"That's a thing of beauty!" They move though shooting and killing each shadow they see.
"We clear?"
"For now"
"Rodolfo, where to...?"
"Cut through the building, left side." They run through the building, rodolfo pointed out.
"These shadows are crazy"
"Mercenaries Johnny. Bloody wannabes."
"They don't have rule for everything they do, thats the difference" shera says.
"Appears quiet, take anything we can use to stay in the fight, Johnny."
"I'll get an OP up top and cover by fire. Rest of you, wait for my signal"
"Copy" They wait outside, they stay still until.
"Second floor-!"
"Push out, vaqueros-!" Alejandro yells out, they head out the building.
"Rog. Moving out..."
"We'll have to clear the courtyard to get across!"
They get out the building, while shooting at shadows.
"They're in cover, draw them out" alejandro yells from a distance, Shera could hear him struggling.
"More coming, they have shields"
"We got grenades"
A few minute later
They keep running to the wall they enter from.
"We need to get up and over that wall..." they continue running but stop when they hear something.
"You hear that?"
"Helicopter-- searching for us!" Soap, Shera, and other get shot to the ground
"We'll need more than this to take it out."
"All stations, this is Bravo-6- Get down!"
"Who the fuck is that!" Shera yells, turning to Soap.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Ya'll sound similar, I'm assuming you know."
"I think" The helicopter is shot and goes crashing down.
"It's price!!"
"Hell, fucking yeah!"
"All Bravo and Vaqueros... Top o' the wall. Get here and i'll get you out. How copy?"
"Loud and clear, price. Comin' to ya...!"
"What is he going to save us with? A broken heli?"
"Who is he?"
"A friend..."
"I like him already"
"Vaqueros, get to the wall, between the towers, now!" they run to the wall.
"Be advised. Ropes deployed. Find 'em and climb."
"Roger, that."
"We're clear for now but Shadows are on the way, count on it..."
Soap and Ghost climb up the ropes, Shera follows behind. Price helps Soap up, and gaz helps ghost.
"Sergeant MacTavish"
"Good to see you, Captain"
"Ghost"
"Garrick... Price"
"How'd you know"
"Laswell."
"I swear that women knows everything..." Shera picks herself up.
"Shera Irvine" She says, to the new people. Price and Gaz look at each other, then soap and ghost. It's almost like they're having a private conversion with each other.
"Soon as shepherd went dark, she called us"
"Laswell, still solid as a rock" Alejandro climbs up the rope and Soap helps him.
"Colonel Vargas, meet Captain Price and Sergeant Garrick."
"Thanks for the assist- my men need cover fire"
"Gaz, soap, ghost- overwatch - now" Iazan fly right above them and then land beside them.
"I'll serve fire, from the sky" Shera says, Price nods his head in approval, but they get a small scare when Shera jumps off the railing to get on Iazan. She slightly misses her landing and crawl to her saddle.
"Sȳz valonqar (good boy)" She says and Iazan fly off.
"More vehicles incoming from the front!" She hears Rodolfo say, while she by them.
"Dracarys!" She yells out, Iazan pouring fire on the shadow.
"Suppressive fire, friendlies comin' up the ropes!"
"Got snipers on the roofs, take 'em out!" Iazan flies by the sniper. Then he takes on of them by his mouth and bits his head off, shocking everyone.
"Issi ao merbugon valonqar? (are you hungry boy?)" She asked him, laughing.
"Shr, your dragon ate his head?" Soap asks her.
"Just because I ride a dragon, doesn't mean I can control him. We say "Zaldrīzes buzdari iksos daor"... a dragon is not a slave" She answers.
"Good effect"
"Move, move, quickly- while the coast is clear!!"
"We're good to go, Colonel"
"Let's get the fuck out of here, hermanos."
"Down the wall... WE ARE LEAVING!" Shera hears price. She lands Iazan on the opposite side, and waits there for the rest and more instruction. The others start to jump down the rope.
"Those two are ours." All of them are down, out the prison. Ezo, Iazan, and Shera wait for them.
"Check"
"Rodolfo- you take the truck we came with!"
"Roger that"
"Vaqueros, on me...!"
"Rudy, meet us at the house!"
"Will do, Colonel, good luck"
"We'll meet you all there" She says flying off, Ezo following her behind.
With 141
"Capatin, follow me."
"Copy, Gaz drive!" Price says, throwing the car keys at Gaz.
"On it. Ghost, Soap, this is us." Price opens the door and Soap and Ghost get in.
"Load in..." Price gets in himself and closes the door.
"Hit it, Gaz" Gaz starts the car and drive to the house.
"Shepherd burned us."
"He sent Graves and his Shadows to kill us and round up Los Vaqueros."
"We know why."
"Laswell did a bit of digging." (laswell is one of those people at school, that you don't know nor talk to, but somehow they know every little detail about your life. I swear she knows everything)
"What did she find?"
"The truth..."
