A few days later...

Frost and Asriel were called back into military service, they returned to the base they had grown accustomed to, the General saw both of them and waved them over, Frost and Asriel jogged over to see what he wanted
"Alright, you two are still my best soldiers, we're outfitting all special forces with new gear, well... the best of the best, it's a four man squad, You, Asriel, John and George" The General said as he was looking at Frost, they looked over at John, who was wearing a black exoskeleton,
"Umm... that's what we're wearing?" Asriel said as he pointed at John, The General chuckled, Frost and Asriel walked over to where they were meant to get their Exoskeleton and put them on, Frost's was slimmer than everyone else's, John laughed slightly at Frost, he darted at John and pinned him to the floor
"Next time, don't judge an Exoskeleton by its size" Frost said as he helped John up, they looked at The General
"You each excel at a specific talent, Asriel, you specialize in medical support, John, you specialize in Assassination, George, you specialize in Sniping, Frost, you specialize in Scouting and Recon, you're exoskeletons will prove those tasks easier", The four of them looked at each other, Frost turned to the General
"What's the Squad name?" He asked, the General chuckled
"Omega Squad" The General said, the exoskeletons covered their body's, a helmet formed around everyone's head and the visors activated, they shone a different colour, Asriel's glinted a dark green, George's glinted a lime green whilst John's glinted Purple, Frost's visor glinted an orange hue, they looked at each other and nodded, The General barked at them to get in the chopper and to be briefed on route,

Time skip (You choose what happens in the time skip)

The team circle the perimeter and Frost jumped out, he landed and loaded his rifle, he looked up and his visor activated, a small patrol saw Frost but was cut down by four precise headshots
"Sleep tight" Frost said as he ran into the building, he scouted out the area the team was meant to infiltrate
"I count fifteen hostiles in the building" Frost said as he turned to leave, he walked into an enemy soldier but killed him, Frost sprinted to the meet up point, John and Asriel were already there discussing how they would enter, Frost joined them
"I saw we go in from the west" Asriel said, John disagreed
"No, the east" Frost spoke up
"We enter from the south, it's less defended" Frost said
"Omega 2, you need to infiltrate the base on your own, we need as much information about it as possible" Command said over the comms, Frost cursed under his breath and ran towards the base, moments later a guard was sniped
"Thanks for that" Frost said as he climbed over into the base, He scouted everywhere
"It's all clear, enter from the south" Frost said, John and Asriel entered and found Frost, they entered a building and killed several soldiers,
"Nothing, it's a dry hole" Frost said
"Roger that, get to the LZ, extraction is inbound" Command said, Frost began walking towards the door but heard faint beeping, it became a rapid beep
"Oh shit, GET OUT NOW!" Frost yelled as the building exploded
"This is Omega 2, it was a trap" Frost said as Asriel helped him up, John provided cover fire, the three ran to the LZ with support from George, they ran into an open area and an enemy soldier readied an RPG, he aimed it at the chopper but decided to shoot Asriel, the explosion caused Asriel to fall to the ground, he rolled onto his back, John and Frost turned to engage the hostiles,
"Frost, Get Asriel out of here!" John yelled, Frost grabbed Asriel and dragged him to the chopper, Frost ran over to John
"Get on the chopper now, I'll cover you!" Frost yelled as John got to the chopper (Epic meme reference) John got on and engaged enemies, the chopper rose off the ground and Frost jumped onto the side, he was hit by a bullet but climbed on, John and George were engaging enemies until they couldn't see any, they all checked on Asriel, the left side of his armour was heavily damaged, he couldn't walk without a heavy limp and he had trouble breathing, John called over a medic when they returned, Asriel was rushed into a room with several medics, George found the General
"So... Asriel isn't fit for the squad" The General said, George didn't answer
"I guess I'll have to find someone else" Frost ran up to the General and grabbed his shoulder, he spun him around and faced him
"You go get hit by an RPG, then come back and tell me that, Asriel is fit for this squad, not a lot of people would survive an RPG" Frost said, he turned around and went to the medical field where Asriel was, Asriel saw Frost, Asriel was in a khaki shirt and combat trousers, he sat up and waved Frost over, Frost sat down on a chair next to Asriel's bed, they were talking about the mission when Frost heard the roar of engines, Frost thought nothing of it until he heard jets nose diving towards the base, moments later several explosions went off across the base, several armed men entered the medical field with their weapons pointed at the medics,
"Everyone on the floor now!" One of them yelled as he took one hostage, Frost slowly reached for his knife, he quickly grabbed it and threw it at the soldier with the hostage, it pierced his eye killing him instantly, several soldiers turned to Frost, he grabbed his pistol and shot, one went down, he quickly aimed at another, he shot and spun around to shoot another, there were still six armed men, they dropped dead as John and George stood in the entrance, their weapons smoking, they walked in
"Frost, get your gear, we're under attack, the General left" John said, Frost swayed side to side for a moment before turning to Asriel
"Alright, I gotta go, I'll come back I promise" Frost said as he tossed Asriel his dog tags, Frost left with George and John, they looked up to see an enemy fighter jet nose diving towards the repair yard, John lined up a shot and fired, the plane spiralled out of control and hit the ground, several more Jets were nose diving, preparing to drop bombs on the base, Frost aimed his rifle and shot one of the pilots, moments later several enemy fighter jets were knocked out of the sky, three friendly fighter jets flew over the base and engaged enemies on the ground, Frost and John were surrounded quickly by enemy soldiers, George distracted them long enough for several friendly soldiers to kill them, Frost was hit by a sniper and fell to the ground in pain, John quickly turned and fired, he didn't need to look at his scope, the enemy sniper dropped to the floor, George, John and Frost were talking about the attack when Frost was struck by a bullet in the right shoulder, John and George turned around to see the soldier die, they turned back around to see Asriel holding a Deagle (Desert Eagle) Asriel lowered the weapon and walked over to Frost, he was in pain and they both walked over to medics who were treating wounded soldiers
"How many did we lose?" George asked, John looked at him
"Too many" he replied, a soldier ran up to both of them
"There's still an enemy threat in the AO" he said before he raised his weapon, he was hit in the chest by a bullet and fell to the floor, John helped him up as George killed the attacker, they went to the medical field, George put his hand to his ear
"This is Omega 1, how many casualties?" George asked through the comms device
"126 friendly casualties, 7 jets and 14 trucks" Command replied, George punched a metal pole in anger, George was pissed, Frost tried calming him down
"Get off me! We could pf stopped this" George said, Frost put his hand on George's shoulder, George punched Frost
"Listen, no one is angrier than me about this, but right now we need everyone to keep a calm fucking head alright! Where's their closest base?" Frost asked, John smiled slightly
"6 clicks south of here" John said, Frost nodded
"Get everyone who wants revenge briefed, we're killing those fuckers" Frost said as they left, Asriel held Frost back to give him his dog tags back
"You might need these" Asriel said, Frost grabbed them and put them on, he put his hand on his shoulder
"Thanks Azzy, trust me... we're going to get revenge for those poor souls that died in the attack" Frost said, they left and briefed all the volunteers, Frost informed Command
"This is Omega 2, we're moving on the closest base of our position over" Frost said
"This is Command, that's a negative, you are not to engage", Frost was angry at what they said
"This is Omega 2, I'm not asking" Frost said, Command tried to object but The General gave them execute authority, Frost smiled and nodded to the others, the chopper was equipped with two mini guns mounted on the sides, George and John were tearing up the base when a missile locked onto the chopper, they quickly turned around and got out of range, they continued to lay down fire on the base until it was reduced to rubble, they returned back to base to see multiple graves for the dead, Frost payed his respects to the fallen and returned to his team, they were being transferred to a base in the desert, they were given an LAV
(Lightly Armored Vehicle for those of you who don't know) George and John got in the front as Frost and Asriel stood in the back.
