New American Marines

Well, I couldn't get to sleep tonight, and I'm bored beyond belief. So I made another Chapter. Enjoy [Terducken]. Hahaha :D


Chapter Two: Suicidal Hero

Evans was gone, no where to be seen in the city of New Reno. Jerry and Orlando spent a few days learning the area, getting ready for their job. They took a room in the Wright's mansion, where they kept their specialized .223 Sniper Rifle hidden under the bed. In just the few days they were there, they made hundreds of caps from the Desperado and Shark Club. They got lucky, and just found some cash off the streets. They lived in luxury. Well, as luxurious as a lower middle class group of mercenaries living in someone's mansion can get. The day finally came, though. The day they wanted to go home. The day they had to kill Boss Salvatore. The strongest man in New Reno.

The idea, was to kill Salvatore at his bar, quietly, and then they'd be off to New Reno Arms, collect whatever weapons they need, and get the Hell out of New Reno. Their helicopter was still broken, so they needed to find a different way of transport. They learned about the Enclave from Boss Wright, how they're trying to rebuild America, and how they kidnap people and fly them West with their flying machines. Vertibirds. That's how they wanted to get home, by flight from a stolen Enclave death machine.

Finally, the two men collected all their weapons, all their money, and they took the .223 they received from Boss Wright. They kept in a guitar case, since they didn't want to attract attention. It's not like anyone knew what a guitar was, but the cases have been seen, and other people use them as suitcases.

They went to the building that the Salvatores kept as their home, at the time. The bar near the Desperado. They walked in and saw a few tables, a counter, and a staircase right behind it. The men walked up to the bartender, and started to start a conversation.

"Howdy." Jerry said to the bartender, "Boss Salvatore in?"

"Depends," replied the bartender, "Who want to know?"

"I'm Jerry Carmichael, this is my friend Orlando. Your boss was the welcoming party when we first got here, we'd like to speak to him."

"Sorry, 'Jerry'" the bartender said, not believing that Jerry was his real name, "But the boss is out, heading to Redding. Lookin' to speak to the mayor of that fine little town. Word is a casino is being built up, and Boss doesn't like that."

"Why?" Jerry said, "It's not like he own the Desperado, or Shark Club."

"Because he damn well pleases to, and you boys gotta problem with that?"

"No sir," Jerry said, "But thanks for the tip, you mind telling us where Redding is?"

"Yeah, whatever. Here, take this map, for a hundred bucks."

Jerry sighed and pulled out some cash we won from the casinos. He knew he wouldn't be at New Reno much longer, so it wasn't that big of a deal since the currency is different back East. He looked at the map, and noticed Redding was far to the Northwest. It'd take a while to get there, but it was no big deal. They had all the time in the World right now.

Jerry and Orlando left New Reno, and started to walk towards the settlement of Redding. The scenery wasn't that different there than it was in the East, except for the melting snow. Rocks, dead trees, and some dead grass. But they were walking ahead of schedule because of the lack of dangers in the West. Back East you'd come across something 30 minutes into a hike. In the East, it was more calm, the first few days of their trip they only met some homeless people.

Their first danger, was something horrible. They were on top of a cliff when they looked down to a group of Feral Ghouls, a lot of them, too many to believe was even there, surround a young looking man backing up to a large rock. He was completely surrounded. He, was Charles Evans.

Evans was trapped, surrounded by the one thing no one had to worry about back home. Ghouls, zombies, you could say.

Evans yelled as he pulled up his shotgun, shooting their heads clean off as they charged him one by one. One, two, three, four. How many ghouls were there? Too many for one man to handle. He pulled the trigger, but the only thing that came from the gun was a sound, the worst sound someone in his position could hear. The sound of a weapon with no ammo, a click.

Evans threw the gun at a charging ghoul, then quickly pulled out his grenade launcher. He shot once, blasting a hole in the ground, and giving some ghouls the ability of flight. He put another shot into the large group of rotting skinned freaks. Then finally, his last shot kept them off a little longer.

This time, they charged him in waves of more than one. He used the butt of his gun to strike down on them, yelling with each hit, knowing this was the end. He managed to fend a few of them off before the wooden butt of his gun split. The threw it at the next coming ghoul, and pulled out Floyd's Desert Eagle. Five shots to a clip, he unloaded on them. He pulled another clip out his pack and kept shooting them, taking two shots just to take one down.

They stepped back for a while, and Evans pulled out his last clip. He put it into his gun and held it up, shaking.

"How many damn Ghouls are you!" he yelled, with his voice cracking.

They all hissed in return. He squinted and tried counting. There were at least fifteen left. The biggest pack of Ghouls anyone's ever seen. Hell, probably the only pack that big.

He moved his gun back and forth, and waited for one to run at him, he shot it in the head. Four bullets left. Another one came, and a shot to the neck dropped it. Three bullets left. Two more came at once and he shot each in the stomach, keeping them back just a little longer.

One bullet left.

He stepped back and hit the boulder blocking his path. He started to cry as he lifted the gun under his chin, pointed straight up. The same two ghouls ran toward him. And he had no options.

Woo, four readers? Well, no one's giving feedback so I don't know. But anyways, in case anyone read what used to be here, that's all gone. I know, I know, stupid thing to do. But with the whole no feedback, and one of my worst chapters, I'm gonna change it!

Okay! The REAL chapter three. Hopefully this one will get some attention.

Chapter Three: Damn.

A growl, a hiss, followed by the shriek of a ghoul. Evans didn't have the time to shoot, he hesitated. Frozen out of fear. The nearest ghoul pounced on him, knocking his gun far out of reach. Evans tried to fight it off, but it bit and ripped away his flesh. Until a bullet pierced it's skull.

Jerry was on top of the cliff, laying on his stomach with the .223 out. Another shot into the second ghouls closest to Evans gave the new marine some more time. That left somewhere around five more ghouls left. No one had time to count. Orlando was already running into the pack and towards Evans. The few ghouls left finally surrendered and ran off, but a few were killed from Jerry's sniper rifle.

Orlando slid on the ground next to Evans, looking down on the bleeding man clenching his stomach and chest wounds. Orlando grabbed the back of his head, and lifted it. A crying Evans looked back to him choked on the blood filling his mouth. He spit out away from Orlando and looked back to him.

"You're gonna make it, buddy. Don't you worry." Orlando repeated to Evans.

"You and me both know that's not true." Evans replied. "Whe- Where's Jerry?"

Orlando looked up to the cliff and saw Jerry a coupled hundred feet away, sprinting to the two men. He finally arrived and dropped to his knees, and removed his helmet.

"Dammit Evans..." he said under his breath.

"Jerry?" Evans said.

"Yeah, it's me Charles."

"Jerry... I'm sorry."

"Don't be, man." Jerry had tears coming to his eyes. "You're not gonna die. God dammit I wont let you!"

"It's over." Evans said, starting to breath harder. "It was great being your friend." He looked to Orlando and back to Jerry.

"Don't act like that. It's gonna be fine. Don't be like this!" Jerry yelled.

Evans was unresponsive, and unconscious. Jerry moved his hand from his wounds and saw the bloody mess, there was barely any skin left on his chest, and bits missing from his stomach. The ghoul got him bad. When Jerry finally realized how bad the wounds were, he took off his chest plate and then his shirt, which he used to cover up the wounds. He put his chest plate over Evans too, and Orlando let his head rest on the ground.

Charles P. Evans died in front of his last two friends who did the best they could to save him. Jerry started to cry, while Orlando looked at the body in silence.

"It's gonna be just fine." Jerry said.


They buried him next to the rock he died on. Both his broken guns were shoved into the ground, and his winter coat was hung over them both. His dog tags were around both weapons. Floyd's Desert Eagle was placed directly over his grave.

The two continued on to Redding. They wanted home. Floyd and Evans had the same wish for them, the safe return to the Capital Wastes.

Well, I'm going to finish this pretty soon. Here's the seconds-to-last chapter of part two. So expect like 2 or 3 more after it, my faithful reader[s?]


Chapter Four: Welcome to Redding.

“Oh man...” Jerry said to Orlando at their arrival to Redding.

The City Hall was converted into a small casino. And now to a graveyard.

“Every citizen must've been in here at the time.” Orlando said, looking through the bodies.

The ground was littered with .44 bullet cases. The two men instantly knew it was from Tommy Guns, which was basically the trademark weapon of the gangsters in New Reno. Salvatore killed every townsfolk he get his hands on. All because they made a small community casino.

“He's a psycho.” Jerry said to Orlando.

Orlando walked to the door leading to the back room, and opened it. A man in metal armor was on the ground, with blood leaking from the holes in his armor. He had a Gauss Pistol in his hands, and two gangsters were dead in front oh him. Orlando, without hesitation took the Gauss Pistol from the armored man's hands, and put it in his pouch. Along with that he took the Tommy Guns from the two gangsters, and strapped one around his back. He handed the other to Jerry, who did the same. Jerry started to look through the gangsters pockets, but nothing was there.

Finally, the two men came across a piece of paper covered in bloody fingerprints in the trash near the entrance to the City Hall. The note read:

“Dominick, my friend. Word around the Slaver's Guild is that Redding is starting build a casino in their city limits. Now I know you wont like that, and I also know you well enough to say for a fact you're gonna do something about it. Something bloody. Now, since I'm helping you with this information, I expect help from you. The mayor of the fine settlement owes me money. A lot of money. In exchange for me giving you this information, you bring me the mayor of Redding. You know where to find me.

-A Friend.”

“Dominick?” Orlando asked.

“Must be Salvatore. Dominick Salvatore.”

Jerry pulled out his map and put it on a craps table. He unfolded it and pointed to a community North from them. The Den.

“There.”

“How do you know?”

Jerry pointed out a symbol where the city was marked. He's seen it back East. Slavers.


Chapter 4; Part 2: Welcome to The Den.

A few days of walking led the two men to a town called “The Den.” A place where the slaver's guild was established. Men stood at every corner with their symbol tattooed on their foreheads. They had evil looks on, and were staring down the two strangers walking to their base of operations.

The two men burst open the door, and a slaver was standing in front of a table. The room was empty except for him. Jerry pulled out his Laser Rifle and pointed it at the slaver.

“We're looking for Dominick Salvatore.” Jerry stated.

The slaver threw his hands up and surrendered on the spot. “You boys missed him. Boss Salvatore it long gone. He should be back to New Reno by now.”


Jerry put a shot into the slaver's head. The laser burned his skin but didn't kill him. He yelled in pain as Jerry used the butt of the gun to knock him out by hitting him in the back of the head. He put away his rifle and pulled out the Tommy Gun. He but three rounds into the man's back.

Jerry walked behind the table and knocked it over as a cover. “Orlando! You hide behind this and watch the door. Kill anyone that walks through. I'll search the building.”

Orlando crouched behind the table and poked his Thompson over. He watch the door knob turn and shot a few rounds through the door, hitting a slaver investigating the first gun shot. Jerry was busy kicking down the first two doors, which led to empty closets. He moved to the third door and held out his Thompson.

“Orlando, watch your back!” he said before opening the door. Orlando turned around and propped his back up against the table, he aimed for the door. Jerry opened it and nothing came through.

“All right, I got it. Watch the door.” Orlando obeyed Jerry's orders and turned back around.

Jerry ran through the door which led to the kitchen. Jerry looked out the door there and saw a fenced off a garden with some cacti and flowers. He looked over and saw a narrow staircase hidden by their refrigerator. Jerry pushed the fridge aside and went up the stairs. There was an empty hallway with a door at the end, Jerry ran down the hallway and used his shoulder to bust open the door. He was clumsy and fell in the process. He hit the ground and banged his head on the ground, but quickly recovered.

He looked around the empty room. A table was in the center of the room, it was covered in white cloth and had a bloody knife placed in the middle. The room stunk of rotting flesh. Eventually the stench got the Jerry, and he threw up on the table. He couldn't find a body anywhere, and looked to the table. The cloth reached the ground, and the stench was strongest there. He lifted the cloth and fell backwards when he saw Dominick's body under the table. Jerry gulped and turned around to exit the room. His eyes widened when he saw the banner above the door.

A black flag. A black flag with the Skull & Cross Bones on it. The hit to the head got to him and his vision blurred. He fell back to the ground.

Okay, this chapter was extremely rushed, and I think it's pretty bad. Good luck reading it without tearing your eyes out, Terducken. Ha. Oh, and by the way. The next chapter is the last, and the longest. Very long, it seems. But I hope it'll be good :]

________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter Five: Highwayman To Hell

“Wake up...” Orlando said, panicking, “C'mon man! Wake the Hell up!”

Jerry squinted and then opened his eyes. He jumped to his feet and picked up his weapon. He started to remember everything, but he noticed the smell of Dominick's corpse was gone. He quickly turned his head to the table, the knife was gone. When he lifted up the cloth there was no corpse. Just a small speck of blood.

“What are you doing, man? We gotta go, now!” Orlando yelled.

Jerry looked at Orlando and nodded in agreement. “There's not other way out but to fight, and run like Hell.”

Orlando looked around the room and saw a sledgehammer. “That's not entirely true.” Orlando walked over to the sledgehammer and picked it up, tightening the grip in his hands. He walked over to the rotting wooden wall and pulled back the hammer. He pushed it forward and broke a hole in the wall. Two more hits and they could fit out.

The two men looked out the hole and jumped down, Jerry hit the ground with a roll, and Orlando hit the ground with a thunk.

“Damn, these houses are poorly built.” Orlando said, looking at the hole.

“How cliche and lucky for us, eh?” Jerry laughed and the two started to run through the alleys.

After a few hopped fences, they came across the junkyard in the Den. A Highwayman drove into the junkyard, and a buff looking slaver got out and started to walk to a shack.

“Hey!” Jerry yelled to the slaver, holding his rifle up.

The slaver turned around and was greeted with a shot to the face. He yelled in pain and covered his burning face with his hands. Orlando went to the man and brought the sledgehammer down on his back with a horrible crunch.

Jerry took the driver seat and Orlando took the passenger. Jerry looked all over the dashboard and finally admitted:

“I have no idea what to do.”

“Don't look at me.” Orlando replied.

Jerry looked to the side of the wheel and saw a little button that matched the greyish blue of the car. He pressed it and the engine roared. When he first hit the pedal, they didn't move. He clicked back the emergency brake and then started to speed down the straight road. He made it to the highway and started to drive southeast.

“Do you even know where you're going?” Orlando asked.

“Hell no!” Jerry replied. But he smiled, excited to be driving one of the only working cars in America.

Along the highway they came across the a green side, most of it was illegible, but Orlando could make out the words “Reno.”

“Must be that way.” he said, pointing.

Jerry, with a smile, floored it and started to drive to Reno. New Reno.


They parked the car upfront, in the parking lot next to the giant sign of the city.

“Come on, we've got to tell our employer Salvatore's dead.”

The town greeter overheard what Jerry said, and started to laugh hysterically.
“Salvatore's dead? I'm pretty sure everyone knows that by now.”

“What?” Jerry asked.

The greeter pointed to the casino, on the neon sign Dominick's body was tied down, and he was hung by his neck. A black flag with Skull & Cross Bones was tied around his foot. Showing everyone who killed the second strongest man in New Reno.

“No, no, no...” Jerry said.

Orlando was at a loss for words.

The two men sprinted to their employer. To skip the conversation, they weren't rewarded weapons. And they were to leave New Reno. Immediately.

The two men got back in their highwayman and drove. They drove for days. East, until they reached the capital waste. They made it to the marine barracks and saw a few tents put up, from the survivors of the attack. They parked their car in the center and were once again surrounded. When they got out of the car, the marines cheered, knowing some more were still alive.

They were taken to the CMC tent. Since he also survived the artillery. He was bandaged and severely burnt, but still very alive.

“It's over, sir. That mercenary group that destroyed the barracks took out our only shot at getting weapons. Evans is dead.” Jerry said, before anyone else.

“That's fine, boys. I'm sorry to hear about Charles, however. But listen. We found that damn mercenaries base of operations. We've still got the finest soldiers here. And we're going to attack with what we got. You two are just in time.” The CMC stood up, and pointed the men out the door. “Suit up! The armory is still there. We're attacking now. It's a desperate move, I know. I doubt you expected it. But dammit, they killed out brothers, and we're gonna cut everyone of them open, and gut them like fish.”

The two men walked out the door and got their weapons and armor.

“This is it, Jerry.”

“I know, Or. This is happening too fast, though.”

“For Floyd, for Evans.” Orlando said.

“For every other soldier they killed.” Jerry replied.

You're right it was a little rushed... :P But it was still a good chapter and sets up the finale well.

You'd better make up for it with an explosive ending!

Part One of the Last Chapter. I wasn't planning for it to be long, but that sure failed. Anyways, here it is. Part Two will be up tomorrow, unless I can't get to sleep. Then it'll be really late tonight!
________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________

Jerry, Orlando, and 17 other soldiers were ready to fight. Each man was armed with an Assault Rifle, and had Combat Armor on. Orlando, being the largest of them all, was presented the only suit of T-51b Armor found at the time, along with a Gatling Laser. Jerry wore camouflaged pants and a combat armor top, he was armed with an Assault Rifle and a Chinese Sword.

Every man stood in a line, all facing the same direction as the commander of the group paced back and forth giving his speech. After the speech finally ended, he commanded everyone to go to the Food Tent, and enjoy their meal. As it may be their last.

Jerry and Orlando started to join the group, but was stopped the Commander of the attack.

"Boys!" He yelled, getting their attention.

Jerry and Orlando turned around, "Yes, sir?"

"You two have been through a lot, everyone here knows that. You two are the best, and there's no doubt about that."

"Thank you, sir."

"I'm not finished. Listen up, when we get to their headquarters ? The National Guard Depot ? I'm putting you two in command from there. You go straight in with 7 other men, I'll stay outside and fight off whatever attacks with the other 10. Understood?"

"Yes, sir!" Jerry and Orlando said, happily accepting the responsibility.
__________________________________________________________

The men all sat at tables, enjoying the best food the Wastes had to offer. Some pre-war mash potatoes, and Brahmin steak. Along with purified water, or Nuka Cola. Orlando fiddled with his food a bit, until finally speaking.

"We both know what will happen out there."

"What?" Jerry asked, confused.

"We wont make it back. We all know that."

"Don't think like that! Don't give up already, we're gonna go to that Depot..." Jerry's voice got louder, "And we're gonna kick some ass!"

The other men put their fists in the air and yelled in agreement.
___________________________________________________________

"Gentlemen! I have a surprise." The CMC yelled to the crowd of soldiers. He walked around to one of the few surviving buildings and walked in. The sound of an engine roar echoed, and the garage door slowly opened. The CMC drove out an old Army truck with a big star on the doors.

The soldiers all watched in awe, because there were barely any working cars left in the world. And the New Marines had two of them.
The CMC stepped out and another soldier took his place in the truck. The CMC walked to the center of the crowd, and started to give out commands. The operation started.
______________________________________________________________

Orlando sat halfway out the truck, with his feet dangling over the edge, so more soldiers could fit in the back. Jerry sat in the back with the other men in their squad. He had his Rifle out, along with all the other men.

Most men looked ready to fight, ready to die. But two other soldiers looked deathly afraid.

"What's your guys' names?" Jerry asked the two scared men.

"Gregory." One said.

"John." Said the other.

"Don't you boys be scared, you're with the best. Me and my buddy Orlando here will make sure nothing happens to you two."

The two men smiled, just in time for the truck to swerve out of control, and crash into something.
_________________________________________________________________

Bullets flew through the cloth cover over the truck. Orlando was already out and ducking for cover, while the others were stuck inside the death trap. Jerry could hear Orlando outside, yelling because of the adrenaline rush.

"Come on!" Orlando yelled, as he pulled out his Gatling Laser.

Five mercenaries were outside of the truck when Orlando ambushed them. His laser started to charge and all the men shot at him. None of them had laser weaponry, and all their bullets bounced off his armor.

"Woo! Hell yeah!" He yelled as he held down the trigger, mowing three of the five men down.

He put away his Gatling Laser and walked up to the two half-dead men. He laughed as he kicked one in the neck, breaking it from his strength and from the armor. He walked over to the other man, and lifted him up by his shirt.

"You boys, were gonna pay for everything." Orlando pushed his forehead into the man's face. Busting his nose, and knocking him unconscious.

Orlando came to his senses and turned back to the truck. He walked to the back and opened the cover.

"Are you all okay?"

"No.." Jerry said. "We got two dead back here from the shots."

"The driver died first." Orlando said.

"Gregory? John?"

"We're still here."

The three men climbed out the truck, Jerry looked at Gregory and Johnson.

"Well." He said, "I'm used to traveling in four, anyways."

Jerry walked to the Driver of the truck, he moved him over to the passenger seat, and used the radio to contact the other group.

"Commander? Do you read me? Over."

"Loud 'n' clear."

"We got a few casualties. We were ambushed by the mercenaries. It's just me, Orlando, and some rookies." Jerry looked to Gregory and winked.

"Understood, make your way to the Depot. We're not stopping for anything."

Jerry sighed, "All right, sir."

He put the radio back down and jumped out of the truck.
_____________________________________________________

Jerry, Orlando, Gregory, and John were all late for the part at the Depot. They arrived from the Wastes, while the 2nd group attack from the ruins. There was already a fight going on in the front of the building, and the four man group ran to the battlefield.

They couldn't stop moving, they already managed to make it in the middle of the fight. Group Two fought their way through the fenced off area in front of the building, and they were being attacked be reinforcements.

The Commander saw the four man group running towards the right. "We have your back! Don't stop moving!"

The ten fighters brought all their attention on the mercenaries going for Group One.

Orlando wasn't concerned about himself, but instead for the others. He pulled out his Gatling Laser and started to open fire, to draw attention on him. He was showered in bullets, but they had no affect on his armor. He spun in circles and shot his enemies.

The other three men kept running, not noticing Orlando taking all the heat. Finally, three of the four men made to the Marines' side of the fight, and that was when Jerry noticed Orlando's absence.

He turned around and watched as his best friend fought off the mercenaries to let him and two others make it to safety.

"Orlando!" He yelled at the top of lungs.

Orlando managed to hear Jerry through all the gun fire. He started to retreat to safety when a Black Vertibird caught everyone's attention. Orlando looked to the sky and everyone watched as a small black ball fell from the bird. Orlando dropped his gun and started to run for the group.

The mini nuke hit the ground, just 10 feet from Orlando. He went flying and hit the ground next to safety.

"Gregory! John! Get out here!"

The Jerry ran to Orlando, and grabbed his shoulders, he started to pull the heavy man to safety while Gregory and John shot their enemies.

More mercenaries came.

"Everyone, inside, now!" The Commander yelled.

Jerry dragged Orlando into the building, and they shut the huge metal doors.

I lied, here it is now :D
________________________

Part Two: The End

Jerry watched Orlando twitch in pain from the Mini Nuke blast. The intense heat and radiation melted through his armor, leaving huge burns all over his body. His armor was removed, and the few medics were doing their best to tend to his burns.

The metals doors started to shake as the mercenaries tried to break their way through. Everyone knew they weren't going to do damage to the building, since it was their own headquarters. The Commander sent Jerry, Gregory, and John to search through the upper three floors of the building.

The group ran up the first staircase and into the offices of the depot.

"Greg, John, you two check the cubicles, I'll check the main offices."

Jerry opened the first door leading to an executives office. The first area was empty.

"Clear!" He yelled to the other men.

"Cubicles are empty!" They yelled back.

Jerry opened the other office door and saw a man cowering in the corner. He stood up and raised his hands in the air. Jerry pulled out his weapon and shot him in the chest before he had a chance to speak.

"Clear." He said.

The next two floors were clear, and it looked like everyone rushed to get out of there.

"I think they went underground." Gregory suggested.

"Why would you think that?"

"Well, places like this normally have shelters of some sort. They'd be pretty well hidden."

"You're right. Let's get back down and tell the Commander."

They got back stairs to see a few marines circled around Orlando, while two medics were yelling at each other.

"He's gone into cardiac arrest!" The medic continued to push down on his heart, while the other gave him mouth to mouth.

Jerry pushed the viewers away, along with the medic pushing on his chest. Jerry took his place and started to talk to Orlando.

"No! You've never given up in your life! You're not gonna die like this!"

Jerry continued to push on his chest, that eventually led to pounding on it with all his strength. The medic stopped giving him mouth to mouth.

"Why'd you stop? Why the Hell did you stop!"

"He's gone. I'm sor-"

"No!" Jerry yelled as he punched Orlando's chest one last time. He jumped back to the wall and ran his hand through his hair. "No."

"Jerry, I know it's hard. But we can't lose you to your emotions." The Commander started, "We still have a mission to complete."

Jerry sat there against the wall, thinking about what he'd do next. He finally stood up and spoke.

"Search the floor, they went underground." was all he said.
__________________________________________________

Hours later they finally found a hatch leading underground to a huge metal door.

"Do whatever to get through that door!" Jerry commanded everyone.

After a while of messing with wires, a marine stepped up.

"Stand back." He said, as he lifted up a Missile Launcher. He got down on one knee and aimed for the door. He pulled the trigger and the door exploded. The explosion hit a gas leak and the whole room burst into flames. The marine died instantly.

Before the smoke cleared the marines poured through the door into the room. Three defenseless people in black armor were on their knees with their hands up when the marines got in the room. Jerry took a handgun from Gregory and shot each one in the stomach. Giving them a slow painful death.

The next door had a terminal next to it, after the science geeks messed hacked into it, the big door opened. The next area was a cave, with little light at all.

As Jerry was about to talk into the room, he was stopped by the Commander.

"Do you hear that?"

"What?"

There was yelling above them, the reinforcements found their way through.

"Jerry, take your squad and get into that cave. We'll hold them off for as long as you can."

Jerry nodded and walked through the door with Gregory and John. The door shut and the Commander said something else.

"You can't come back this way! We're going to fry the terminal. I trust you, Carmichael, make us proud."

The three man group came up to another metal door.

"These things are getting tiring." John said.

"I agree." replied Gregory.

Jerry walked up to the door and pushed in the metal circle to open the door. The piece of metal went into the door and all the knobs and gears turned. The door opened very fast, and exposed a giant lit up cavern full of makeshift houses, surrounding a giant piece of metal. A massive metal door covered the ceiling. They had a damn missile silo.

At least 30 men stood in the cavern with their guns strapped to their backs. Jerry slammed his hand against a switch the shut the door, and he pulled Gregory and John out of plain sight. They ran behind a shack on the ground floor, and hit the ground.

"No one saw us. It's okay."

"What the Hell is that?" John asked.

"It's a [censored] ICBM. That's what it is." Gregory replied.

Jerry was poking his head out and saw a rusty metal building. Different from all the shacks, this building was meant to be there.

"There." Jerry said. "That building, we gotta get there."

"And how are we supposed to do that?" Gregory asked.

"Guys, I'm not going to lie. Tonight, we're going to die." Jerry looked at the men. "Go loud."

Gregory and John looked at Jerry like he was joking, when they saw how serious he was, they knew it was true. They could die cowards, or they could die in a fiery blaze of glory.

Jerry held his weapon tight in his hands, he walked out of cover. Gregory and John did the same.

"Run like Hell, boys!" he whispered.

The three men sprinted. Running faster than they ever had in their lives. This time, the men in black armor noticed them. They pulled out their weapons and began to shoot without hesitation.

They had about 70 meters to run until they made it to the metal building. They shot randomly towards the enemy as they ran for it. Gregory was shot in the chest and arm, but he still managed to run with the other two men. A bullet hit John in the leg, and John hit the ground, never getting back up again.

Jerry reached the building, he pushed open the door and saw a heavy set man sitting down.

"What the Hell is going on out there?" He demanded, looking up, "Who the Hell are you?"

"Screw you!" Jerry said pulling up his rifle with his right arm, now realizing his left was useless.

He held the trigger and shot the man in his lower chest and up. The man fell out of his chair.

The pain from the bullets got to Jerry, who finally collapsed. A small pool of blood started to form around him as he crawled to the switches on the wall. Gregory finally made it to the room, and saw Jerry crawling. Gregory got week and collapsed as well.

He watched as Jerry brought up all his strength and sat up. He lifted his arm and did what anyone else would do ? hit the big red button.

The speakers sounded off, "Warning... Warning... All personnel evacuate immediately..."

The metal hatch above the ICBM was melted shut from the heat of a nuclear explosion. And Jerry knew that.

Jerry let out a laugh as the metal building they were in locked down, the room started to shake.

Haha, thank you for following it. Sure, I'm not the best at it, but I love making stories and sharing it, even if it's just with one person. Haha.
