The screen starts with the joint operation emblems of Rhodes Island and the Yanese marines. When they're put to the upper corners, the screen shows the location of the Altai mountains where the satellite tracks a nuclear launch in the said mountains.

The audience then saw two of the nuclear missiles flying up to the sky before heading eastwards. The satellite begin to analyze the missiles.

RT-2UTTH
Topol-M
Intercontinental
Ballistic Missile
(ICBM)

"ICBMs?" Amiya raised an eyebrow.

"From what we are seeing, these ICBMs can target anywhere on the Terra." Kal'tsit observed.

"So these missiles can just go around the world even when it is far away? That's not good..." Ch'en said, worryingly.

The satellite scanned the inside of the missiles, revealing the placement of the warheads. The audience was surprised by the number inside.

WARHEAD:
6 Nuclear 550kT MIRV +

"There are six of them inside of one?!" Swire exclaimed.

"Then that means there are 12 warheads inside of the two..." Hoshiguma uttered.

They had witnessed what one nuclear warhead did to a city. Imagine what twelve of them can do at the same time.

The satellite began simulating a warhead trajectory, breaking apart into twelve warheads heading towards the location, which is the north coasts of Yan.

Subsequently, the satellite analyzed the potential outcomes if the missiles reached their targets. The warheads would impact Yanese cities along the north coast, including the cities of Lungmen and Shangshu. The satellite started tracking these cities that were likely to be affected by the ICBMs.

It then projected the casualties that would occur among the populations of these cities if the nuclear warheads reached them. The audience was appalled at the results.

Total Projected Casualties: 121,426,597

Amiya's eyes widened at the staggering casualties. "121 million?..."

"Holy crap, that's so many!" Blaze exclaimed.

"It... It even surpasses Victoria's population!" Bagpipe shouted in terror.

"I can't believe Lungmen is even one of them," Ch'en said, shaking her head while expressing concern for the city. Hoshiguma and Swire nodded in agreement, the latter wondering if the population really reached that amount in real life.

W was also in shock. She couldn't even imagine witnessing 121 million people dying from the nuclear warheads. She also realized that innocent people would be killed in those cities.

"Damn..." was all she could say.

"He's really gonna kill all of those people..." Doctor uttered.

"And all of that because his daughter died." Kal'tsit said, "I do understand his reasons for it, but killing millions for it is just...insane." 

"I agree." Hellagur replied, "If Buldrokkas'tee also sees this, I know for a fact he won't even do such a thing. He was a good man." 

"This is just how alternate universes work, i guess." Closure shrugged, "Who knows the Doctor might as well be a bad guy in this too."

"I hope not..." Doctor muttered, while curious of their future role in the MW universe, if they would have one.

The screen swiftly transitioned from Yan to the Altai Mountains in Ursus, then zoomed in to Amiya's perspective. As this happened, sirens blared in the background.

The viewpoint switched to Amiya's eyes as she loaded up her M4A1 Sopmod, all while Lee's voice came through the radio, "Bravo Six, we're still coordinating with the Loyalists to acquire the launch codes. We should have them shortly. Keep moving. Out."

"Yeah, 121 million people is on the line here!" Sesa said.

"How are they gonna stop them, though?" Kroos inquired.

"Perhaps they can deactivate it in mid-air." Steward speculated.

"Most likely." Melantha agreed with a nod.

After the call, Amiya went to a run while seeing the rest of her squad rushing in to the facility aswell. 

"Go! Go! Go!" Ch'en shouted, urging Amiya and the rest to press on.

The audience then notices that Ch'en and Hoshiguma had buzzsaws by their backs. They weren't there in the previous mission.

Nevertheless, the squad pushed forward while a nearby MI-24 hind was firing at them from above. Luckily, the gunner missed all the shots at them.

"Bravo Six, Sniper Team Two is now in position. We'll give ya sniper cover and recon from where we are, over." said one of the Yanese snipers from the radio.

"Copy! Keep us posted! Out!" Ch'en replied.

When the squad reached to the entrance of the facility through the containers, Amiya looked to the left and saw Yato and Noir Corne hiding behind one of the containers, the former having a stinger in hand. Amiya also saw the rest of her squad with them.

"There's us!" Barty said.

"Finally we get to join in the assault." Chard smiled under his mask.

"The two marines are also there too." Hoshiguma pointed out.

Amiya saw the Hind making a turn towards them, which prompted Yato to get out of cover and fire the Stinger at the aircraft, destroying it. The squad proceed into the facility through the container area.

Amiya took cover by a nearby blue container as she saw a good amount of Guerilla and Yeti soldiers running to the area to stop them. Amiya took aim and killed about a couple of them, prompting the rest to take cover.

She saw more Reunion soldiers by the distance, who were all firing at her. She went back to cover to reload with Ch'en and Bagpipe exchanging fire at them.

After reloading her rifle, Amiya decides to go around the green container on her left to flank some of the hostiles. 

She then pull out her M1014 that she picked up from before as she went around the green container and saw two hostiles. Amiya quickly put them down in just three shots.

"She made the right choice switching the pistol with that shotgun." Dobermann remarked.

"I don't know if it would be fast enough to switch to another weapon unlike the pistol." Dur-Nar said.

"What's a pistol even gonna do in this situation, anyway? Best to go for the weapons that do much damage." Franka replied.

"They can use one to kill the bad guy." Jessica said.

The Yanese sniper team spoke up, "This is Sniper Team Two. You've got hostiles and light armor coming to you from the north. Suggest you get some C4 or find some heavy weapons, over." 

After he said that, Amiya saw a glimpse of a BMP coming towards their position.

"Oh great, more obstacles." Blaze frowned.

"They really want to protect the facility." Greythroat said, noticing that they're using light armor to take down 12 guys.

Amiya took cover as the BMP fired at the containers. While taking cover by the BMP, she manage to kill two Yeti soldiers that were running towards their position.

Amiya then saw a lone soldier about to shoot her, but then he got shot to the head by a stray bullet. "This is sniper team two, target down." The Yanese snipers informed of their kill.

"We gotta cover our advance. Everyone pop smoke!" Hoshiguma shouted as she threw a smoke grenade towards the BMP.

Amiya followed suit and threw her own smoke grenade towards the BMP. Despite that, the BMP continued to have them pinned down.

Vulcan raised an eyebrow, "How is smoke gonna really help them against the BMP? Can't they just move back or forth in the clearer area?"

"Hmm, i think she would have some C4s on her." Sesa assumed.

"That armor is killing us!" Yato exclaimed.

"Amiya! Get a C4 charge on that BMP!" Ch'en ordered.

"See? I was right." Sesa smiled proudly with Vulcan rolling her eyes.

"Wait, doesn't that mean I have to run out there towards the BMP to plant that C4?" Amiya said in a worried tone. 

"It's alright, bunny." Bagpipe reassured, "It's not like you won't get killed, given your the protagonist. 'Sides, she can just throw it towards the BMP."

In compliance with her order, Amiya peeked out for a moment to witness the BMP engulfed in white smoke. Upon hearing the tracks of the vehicle, indicating it was moving out of the smoke, Amiya swiftly left her cover.

She dispatched three more Reunion soldiers with her shotgun before equipping her C4 and threw it towards the BMP. Running back to cover, she then detonated it, and the audience watched as the BMP exploded into pieces.

"Not bad, bunny girl." W said with a smile, impressed of her throwing the C4 to the BMP. "You sure have a good arm."

"Thanks, I guess..." Amiya replied with an uneasy smile.

"It was pretty reckless in my opinion." Kal'tsit remarked.

"Well the C4s was one of their only options." Doctor stated, " But perhaps they could find some RPGs lying around."

After destroying the BMP, the joint Rhodes Island - Yanese marine squad proceed to the facility.  "Bravo Six, this is command, gimme a sit-rep, over." Lee asked.

Ch'en responds, "We're inside the perimeter, approaching the gates to the silos! Out!" The squad continued on right, with Amiya shifting left as she saw Yato's squad engaging some of the Guerillas and Yetis from that side.

Jus then, a Reunion commander spoke over from the P.A. "We are under attack! Lock down all points of entry immediately!"

"Well, that's not gonna last long." Hellagur commented.

Amiya catch up to the squad as they engaged the Reunion forces from the right side. She saw them firing at a couple of Reunion soldiers from the rooftop of a building. She then saw an RPG rocket heading to the marines by the garage area, but fortunately it missed and hit a nearby truck.

Amiya joined in the firefight as she switched to her SOPMOD and aimed towards the building. She manage to take out two of the Yeti soldiers by the roof.

Amiya shifted to the lower roof beside, seeing a machine gunner by the railing along with a few additional guards. She and the squad were also under fire by a squad of Guerilla soldiers from the ground.

Emptying a mag to the enemies by the roofs, Amiya had to reload. However, another RPG wielder appeared on the roof and fired another rocket. It was headed to the marines.

In a tense moment, the audience witnessed Hoshiguma and Massey evading the incoming projectile, but tragically, the two other marines accompanying them got caught on the blast, losing their lives in the intense firefight.

"Dammit, they lost two guys already!" Catapult exclaimed

"Atleast it was only those two random guys." Spot said, nonchalantly.

"Still, they were vital on the assault in the facility." Orchid replied. "But hopefully they bring in reinforcements."

Amiya load up her gun and followed the smoke trail. She then took aim and killed the RPG wielder along with the rest of the enemies from the lower roof. 

Amiya then move up to a blue container and took cover over there while seeing Bagpipe and Ch'en by a truck infront of her. She saw more enemy reinforcements by the ground as the squad were putting their best to take them down. 

As they were engaging the hostiles, the Reunion soldier by the P.A continued, "Comrades! Remember the fallen and avenge them! Let us ensure that their sacrifices were not made in vain! Fight for the glory of the Motherland! Fight the corruption of our once great nation!"

"You don't really call yourself great if you're willing to kill 121 million civilians." Folinic remarked.

"It makes ya crazy and pretty barbaric." W said, earning some confused glances as they didn't expect her to say that.

Amiya saw two Guerillas appeared from the right in another building taking cover by some boxes, prompting her to throw a grenade at them and killing them. 

"We're gonna need some more ground support, sir!" Hoshiguma said to Ch'en before firing her T75 LMG to the Reunion forces that are coming in numbers.

Ch'en quickly replied, "Already got it covered, Hoshi."

Just then the audience could hear the sound of jets as Amiya look up and saw two Yanese Xian JH-7s flying above the facility, unleashing their bombs to the unseen Reunion forces.

"Looks like they're also using MIGs." Doctor said.

"Enough to give them support to assault the base." Amiya replied. 

"Why can't the Yanese just level the facility with their air power?" Closure wondered.

"Well there would be some risks if they did that." Folinic stated. "Also, remember that the base also has an underground area. It wouldn't do anything."

"They also have to deactivate the nuclear missiles manually somewhere in the underground." Kal'tsit added.

"Oh, right then." Closure acknowledged.

The squad continued to press on to the closed gate. Amiya then saw Sesa, Barty, and Chard flanking from the left through the containers near the gate. 

Amiya went over to the building with the boxes as she saw a couple of Reunion soldiers coming out of an alleyway. She along with Hoshiguma manage to take them all down.

Turning back to the main road, Amiya witnessed the final two soldiers being picked off by her squad, clearing the path.

"Cover me, I'm gonna blow the gate!" Sesa declared as Amiya sees Sesa running out of cover and heading to the closed gate. She checked around for any nearby hostiles as Sesa set up the explosives.

Once he is done, he shouted, "Charges set! Get back get back!" Amiya, Hoshiguma, and a few others ran back to a safe position. "Fire in the hole!" Sesa then ignites the C4s which then blew up the gate open.

"Through the gates, let's go!" Ch'en commanded as they all rushed in to the launch area.

"Facility perimeter has been compromised. All units proceed to defensive positions!" The Reunion commander ordered from the P.A."

The squad spread out to the area with Amiya sticking close to Hoshiguma, Bagpipe, and Ch'en. They engaged the hostiles in the area as Hoshiguma then shouted, "More BMPs! Take cover!"

"The MIGs didn't destroy those?" Sesa questioned.

"I guess they missed." Vulcan answered.

"Well, they can still take them out easily." Blaze said. 

"Amiya! Hoshiguma! Knock em' out! GO!" Ch'en ordered.

Amiya obliged the order as she went ahead to destroy the BMPs with her C4s. She and Hoshiguma took cover in a destroyed truck that was flipped to the side, possibly from the jets.

Amiya peeked out and notices one of the BMPs closing in to their position. She took out the detonator and waited. After a few seconds, the BMP was on her sight as she then quickly threw the C4 to the armored vehicle before heading back to cover and activate it.

"Now that was smart thinking." Bagpipe complimented with the others nodding in agreement.

After destroying the first BMP, the squad continued pushing toward the launch area. Amiya switched back to her M4A1 Sopmod and eliminated some of the hostiles obstructing her path.

Soon, she spotted a Yeti soldier standing exposed, RPG in hand. She swiftly took them down before they had a chance to fire. As they advanced, Amiya noticed the second BMP in the distance, surrounded by hostiles.

Bagpipe then spoke up, "Keep your eyes open for RPGs! We can use 'em to take out the armor from long range!"

"That seems to be a more safer option." Fang remarked.

"Yeah, she don't have to run around close to them anymore." Kroos added.

"She can also use the RPG from that deceased Reunion soldier. "Beagle pointed out.

Hearing what she said, Amiya sprinted towards the dead Yeti soldier and decide to use their RPG. She dropped off her M4A1 SOPMOD and switched it with the rocket as she took position near some barrels.

She waited for her squad to take down the infantry beside the BMP, Hoshiguma managing to gun them down with her MG.

"Gotta say, you seem pretty unstoppable with that gun." Ch'en said.

Hoshiguma smiled in appreciation, "Thanks. Maybe i could get my hands on that someday."

After the Oni killed the soldiers, Amiya took aim at the BMP and fired a rocket. It hit the BMP, but not enough to destroy it.

"It's still operational! Hit it again!" Chard said.

The BMP then set its gun on Amiya, forcing her to run for cover in a building, which had an ammo crate with rockets beside it. She picked up another rocket and reload the weapon. 

Before getting out to destroy the BMP, Amiya switched to her shotgun and took out 3 Guerilla soldiers that were coming for her. After that, she switch back to the RPG and went back to the same spot.

She didn't have to worry on the BMP firing at her as it was focusing on her squadmates. Taking aim, she fired another rocket to the armored vehicle and destroyed it completely.

"That's a hit!" Bagpipe cheered, "Nice one, mate!"

"Yeah, that was a very nice shot," W agreed with Bagpipe's alternate self. "You know, bunny, I can teach you to use my explosives if you want."

"Uh..." Amiya hesitated to answer.

"No, she will not," Kal'tsit affirmed with a slight glare at the Sarkaz woman. The Doctor also agreed with the lynx by nodding.

After destroying the BMPs, Amiya dropped the empty RPG and picked up her M4A1 Sopmod as she caught up with the squad. With all the hostiles eliminated, the team proceeded forward to the air vents of the facility. The silos were beginning to open up to launch even more missiles.

A voice then spoke up, "Bravo Six, this is Strike Team Three inserting from the northwest. Repeat, we're movin' from the northwest. Check your targets and confirm, over."

Ch'en replied to the marine, "Copy, Team Three. We'll meet you at the north end of the tarmac near the vent shafts, out!"

Amiya then saw three Harbin Z-20s making their way to the facility. One of them stopped at the launching ground to drop off four more Yanese marines into the fray.

"About time for reinforcements." Meteorite said.

"I hope it would be enough, though..." Jessica replied.

"22 men seems to be enough, and given most of them are more experienced than Reunion." Frostleaf stated whilst counting the 12 marines on the three choppers, adding up their strength with the main squad.

The team reached the air vents, with Ch'en and Hoshiguma pulling out buzzsaws from behind their backs to use on the vents. Amiya observed Barty and Chard doing the same on the vent to her right, while the marines, joined by Massey, tackled the left vent.

"Team. Give us a few seconds to cut through the vents." Team three said.

"Cutting. Standby." Massey replied.

"You know, I realize something. Where did the buzzsaws come from?" Doctor pointed out. "They weren't there in the last mission, especially in Ch'en and Hoshiguma's back."

The operators thought the same thing, but it's probably best not to think about it.

They all began using the buzzsaws to cut through the vents' gate, creating an opening for them to enter. Amiya observed as the two cut the sides from left to right, causing the gate to fall down.

Ch'en and Hoshiguma dropped the buzzsaws and began preparing ropes to rappel down. "Squad, hook up!" Ch'en commanded.

Amiya followed suit, preparing her ropes with Sesa and Bagpipe joining as well. As they readied themselves, the sniper team urgently spoke up, "Bravo Six, two Hinds closing fast on your position. You've got to get out of sight, now!"

With haste, the squad secured their ropes just as the other two squads started to rappel down.

"Team two rappelling now," Noir Corne announced.

"Team three rappelling now!" one of the marines added.

Amiya quickly hooked up, and she and her team began to rappel down as well, her vision slowly darkening as they descended through the vent.

"Okay, we're in." Ch'en confirmed.

The screen then went black, signaling the end of the mission.

_________________________

"Well, that felt pretty fast," Midnight remarked.

"I mean, they are racing against time to deactivate the two missiles before they could blow up those Yanese cities and kill all of those people," Spot pointed out.

"So the next mission would be about them disarming the nuclear missiles?" Popukar asked.

"Definitely. What else are they here for?" Catapult said.

"Killing Patriot, maybe," Closure wondered. "He is still a threat to the main characters."

"Yeah, he might appear in the next mission," Folinic speculated.

"Wherever Buldrokkas'tee would be, they have to focus on stopping the missiles first. 121 million lives are at stake," Hellagur stated.

Kal'tsit nodded in agreement. "I agree. It is their top priority."

"Well, I'm excited for the next mission, especially me being with Amiya and the rest," Sesa smirked.

"Don't forget us as well," Noir pointed out for his and Yato's team.

"I'm still wondering when this whole thing will end," the Doctor said.

"Only one way to find out, Doktah," Amiya replied as she pressed the button of the remote, starting up the next mission.

=============

I'm glad to be able to finish this before new year, given how short and straightforward the mission was. 

I decided to up in the casualties for this universe since Yan is China and they have a more larger population than the US. And for the record, they don't have over a billion population like in real life. 

Anyways, we still have two more to go to from the final chapter. I'm just gonna say you would probably be in for a surprise in the next mission.

See you in 'No fighting in the war room'!
