I love the irony of that word, lolz.

The screen starts off with the emblems of Rhodes Island and the Y.M.C. in their joint operation. It changes to the same footage of the two nuclear missiles launching from the mountains and heading towards the north coast of Yan.

It then changes to a more transparent screen as it shows the missiles breaking off one by one until the satellite reaches the warheads as it would hit the north coast in about 15 minutes and 30 seconds.

"Oh gosh, they have so little time left." Cardigan said in a worried tone.

"Don't worry, they can make it fast." Adnachiel assured.

"Team one moving in." Bagpipe said.

"Team two heading for base security." Yato followed.

"Team three has entered the base."  Massey finished.

The screen then switches to the launch facility as Lee's voice spoke up, "Bravo Team, we got good news and bad news. Launch control is located southwest of your position, less than half a klick away. That's where you'll need to upload the abort codes to destroy the missiles in flight."

"And the bad news?" Kroos inquired.

"They have not caught in with the abort codes." Lava assumed.

As Lee explained, the satellite was analyzing the entire underground facility, with a focus on the ventilation system. It then moved towards the barracks, leading to a storage area, the launch silos, and finally to a heavy blast door that provided access to the control room.

Ch'en then instructed, "Bagpipe, go with Yato and the rest and hit the security station. Amiya, Hoshiguma, Sesa, and I will head for launch control."

"Roger," Bagpipe replied, then asked, "Command, what's the bad news?"

"The bad news is we're still trying to get those abort codes, over." Lee responded.

"To hell with it. We'll give it our best shot. Out." Ch'en said as the screen switched back to the ventilation system, zooming in on Amiya's figure where the squad had been before.

"Alright, let's see how this goes." Noir said.

"They're gonna have to fight a hundred enemies to get to the launch control room." Franka commented.

Jessica turned to her with a worried look, "T-That's a lot..."

"Well It's not like they're gonna stop Amiya and the rest to reach their objective." Vanilla said.

"But still, if there are 100 enemies underground, then they need to be fast or else the missiles reached Yan." Rangers replied.

The screen switches to Amiya's perspective as she finds herself inside the vent along with Ch'en, Hoshiguma, and Sesa. Bagpipe had already left with Yato's team, leaving the four to continue on.

"Alright, let's move." Ch'en instructed as she goes into the vent first. Hoshiguma followed suit with Amiya doing the same, leaving Sesa by the back.  

"Captain Hui-chieh, this is Five-Delta Six, we're clearing the east wing heading for base security, over." A marine said from the squad.

"Roger, Delta Six, we're right above you in the vents, watch your fire." Ch'en replied.

"Copy that, sir."

Amiya stick with Hoshiguma as they continued to traverse the vents, passing by a few holes. "We're under attack!" The audience hears an Ursine soldier shouting the word which was followed by gunfire.

"Sounds intense down there." Amiya remarked. 

"I wonder if they can take them all out?" Folinic said. "They're probably outnumbered in that area."

"Given how good the marines can be, they can stood a chance against the Reunion forces." Hoshiguma replied.

Amiya and the squad continued on the vents as the Yanese marines fights off the Reunion forces from below. Another marine spoke up, "Captain Hui-Chieh, Two-Huaren six reporting in. We're meeting with heavy resistance in the south wing. They've locked down our access point over here, over."

"Roger, Huaren six." Ch'en replied, "Regroup with Team Two and help them gain control of base security, over."

"Roger that sir. We're pulling back to regroup with Team Two. Huaren six, out."

Amiya stopped moving when Hoshiguma did, as the vents led them to a hole in front of them. Ch'en was on the left side of the vent as she dropped down into the hole first. Hoshiguma then followed suit, with Amiya doing the same.

The hole led them to the shower area of the underground base, where she and the audience were also greeted by two dead bodies near the pipes.

Amiya observed the corpses, identifying them as the Loyalist guards who had been guarding the launch facility before Reunion invaded it and killed everyone. Pools of blood had formed under their bodies due to water coming out of a broken pipe.

"Man, I feel bad for them..." Blaze said.

"Yeah, they probably didn't expect to be invaded by an army of Reunion soldiers." Greythroat replied.

"Well they are guarding a nuclear launch facility, an important structure when you're in a civil war, and given the nuclear missiles it has in disposal." Dobermann stated.

"Especially when your enemy are psychos like Reunion." Meteorite said.

Amiya continued on with her squad as Sesa dropped down the hole and joined them. Amiya went pass two more Loyalists corpses by the shower area before moving in to the locker rom where she saw another dead Loyalist soldier by the corner.

"Captain Hui-Chieh, we're sending your team the abort codes you'll need to auto-destruct the missiles in flight. You have eleven minutes before those missiles reach the northern seaboard, over." Lee informed.

"Copy that." Ch'en responded with a nod.

"Eleven minutes?? That's even way shorter than before!" Cardigan exclaimed.

"Damn, they need to be very quick." Steward said.

"Hopefully the facility won't be that big for them to reach the control rooms on time." Ansel replied.

"And there's still gonna be about dozens of enemies waiting for them." Beagle remarked.

The squad exit the locker room and towards the hallway with Amiya taking point. She saw more dead loyalists all over the hallway. Amiya then head left to another area where she spotted three Reunion soldiers in the middle of the hall.

The trio quickly open fired at her, prompting her to do the same. She managed to kill one of them with the other two taking cover.

Ch'en, Hoshiguma, and Sesa catch up to her. One of the Reunion soldiers peek out of cover to fire, but Amiya took care of them. The third one was then shot by Ch'en.

Amiya and Sesa moved forward as more Reunion soldiers appeared ahead. They took cover beside the sleeping quarters and fired at the reinforcements.

Speaking of which, a Reunion commander from the loudspeaker shouts, "Enemy forces have been engaged at the barracks. Send reinforcements to the barracks!"

Amiya saw a few Reunion soldiers gunned down by Hoshiguma's machine gun as Sesa then throws a grenade, killing the remaining ones ahead.

Amiya and Ch'en press on with the former switching to her M1014 shotgun. They move up to another hallway and saw more soldiers. Amiya fired three shotgun blasts and killed a good amount of them despite the longer distance.

"Still effective in longer range." Vulcan observed.

"And i thought it is only useful for closer range." Sesa said.

"Well it's good that the range can be longer." Blaze remarked. "Amiya doesn't have to get close to the enemy and probably get shot a couple of times."

Amiya moved forward and stopped behind a few green crates, evading more bullets from the reinforcements. She stood back up and fired two more shotgun blasts to the enemies. One of them was then shot to the head by Ch'en.

The squad move up to a larger room with more green crates, which is where the Reunion forces were hiding. Amiya decide to throw a flashbang to the area. After it ignited, she rushed towards it and killed them all with her shotgun.

Two more Reunion soldiers were spotted by the doorway, but they were dealt with by Ch'en and Sesa. Amiya followed the squad as they head to the doorway and head down a stairway.

When they did so, Hoshiguma informed, "We got ten minutes left."

"I didn't notice the whole thing took a minute." Kroos commented.

"Time flies fast when you're in combat." Fang stated.

"They still have ten minutes left before the missiles reach Yan." Kal'tsit pointed out.

"Don't worry, they can make it." Doctor assured.

Amiya and the squad went down to the next floor, passing by more dead loyalists. They then come across the storage room, an area filled with many crates and boxes. Hoshiguma give suppressing fire by the narrow hallway they are in, allowing Ch'en, Amiya, and Sesa to proceed forward.

Amiya switch back to her sopmod as she lobbed two M203 grenades on to the Reunion forces. Seeing how large the area is, the squad decide to flank the Reunion forces from both sides.

Ch'en and Hoshiguma went left while Amiya and Sesa went right. Turning to the said direction, Amiya encountered a Reunion soldier peeking out behind some barrels, in which she shot him dead. 

She sees Sesa moving forward as he is took out another hostile coming from the left. Amiya switch to her shotgun, noticing the area is perfect for close quarters. She moved forward and immediately took down three Reunion soldiers behind the crates with four shotgun blasts.

Sesa took care of the hostiles in the middle as Amiya hears gunfire from the left side from Hoshiguma and Ch'en followed by screams from the Reunion soldiers.

"We got eight minutes left. We're running outta time, we gotta move!" Hoshiguma stated.

Hearing this, Amiya continued to flank the soldiers by the corners, killing three more that appeared in her view. Once she reached the corner, she turned left and saw two more Reunion soldiers firing at her comrades by the middle.

Switching to her M4A1, she picked them off with ease. Another soldier came rushing to the storage room, but was dispatched by Ch'en from the other corner. The squad had cleared the storage room.

"That was a tough one for them." Lava commented.

"They still didn't stood a chance." Spot said.

"Yep, that's plot armor for ya." Catapult replied, "Betting no one's gonna die again."

After clearing the storage room, the Reunion commander from the loudspeaker spoke up again, "Storage area has been compromised. Enemy forces have reached the launch tubes. Sealing primary access door to launch control. Primary launch sequence initiated for tubes 3 through 6. Standby."

"Sir, what's going on? What are they saying?" Hoshiguma asked.

"They've started a bloody countdown! Patriot's going to launch the remaining missiles! Keep moving." Ch'en answered.

"They're launching more missiles?!" Bagpipe exclaimed. "Where will they go!?"

"Patriot said that Victoria must also pay aswell..." Ch'en thought back, "I think those missiles are going to Victoria."

"Great, we have two countries at stake from being blown up!" Swire said in a frustrated tone

Amiya quickly took point with Sesa beside her. The two move up from the storage area and towards the launch silos. They've engaged with more Reunion soldiers by the hallway. 

The two took care of them with ease as they press on. Suddenly, another Reunion soldier appeared with an RPG in hand. The soldier manage to fire first.

"RPG!" Sesa shouted, seeing the rocket coming towards them. However, they didn't have the time to evade it as the rocket hit the ground infront of them and explode.

The audience grew worried as Amiya's vision went red and her hearing is filled with ringing from the shockwave of the blast. They can also hear Amiya's grunts from the injury.

"Is she okay..." Doctor asked in a worried tone, seeing that Amiya was almost killed by an RPG round.

"She has to be." Kal'tsit said, with a hint of worry in her voice. Amiya was also shocked how her character got hit by the rocket that was very close to her.

After a few moments later, her vision was clear along with her hearing. She then hears gunfire coming from Hoshiguma's machine gun, but then it was followed by Ch'en saying, "We got a man down!"

Amiya turned to Ch'en as the audience sees Sesa's dead body on the ground. He did not survive the RPG blast as his body was covered in the shrapnel.

The operators were left surprised seeing the body, especially Sesa which looked appalled. "What?! I-I died?!" Sesa yelled out.

"Holy crap, I can't believe it!" Spot said with a look of surprise.

Catapult was also surprised, even after what she said about everyone having plot armor. "I-I thought everyone had like plot armor or shit!"

"Yeah, what gives??" Sesa exclaimed with a look of anger. Instead of feeling sad, he felt pissed off how he got killed.

The rest of the audience were left surprised how quickly Sesa got killed. There was no cutscene or final dialogues, he died in a quick matter.

Amiya went ahead to take Sesa's tags before joining back on to the fight. Hoshiguma and Ch'en were already pushing towards the launch silos. Amiya equipped her Sopmod and lobbed her last M203 grenade on to the middle of the hallway.

Amiya switched to her M1014 as she make haste to the hallway with Ch'en and Hoshiguma. The trio had to turn left or right to take care of the Reunion forces that were near the missiles.

Amiya decide to flank them as she went right and gunned down two Reunion soldiers with her shotgun.  She went to the third missile silo on the right and killed another Reunion soldier before spotting two more by the halllway. Amiya killed one of them as the other was dispatched by Ch'en or Hoshiguma.

"Go! Go! Go!" Amiya sees Ch'en and Hoshiguma running on the hallway. She quickly catches up to them as the Reunion commander begin the countdown.

The trio ran towards the door by the end of the hallway. Ch'en and Hoshiguma made it through. "Move! Move!" Ch'en urged Amiya to keep up as she goes to the door. 

When Amiya made it into the room, she look back to see the six missiles begin to blast off, covering the entire silo with flames which were heading towards them. Luckily, Ch'en closed the door on time.

"Whew, that was close." Closure said.

"If they didn't got there in time, they would've been burned or vaporized." Kal'tsit replied.

"Guess those Reunion fellas inside there were unlucky." W remarked.

Ch'en, Hoshiguma, and Amiya turned to the heavy blast door that was blocking their way. Bagpipe then spoke up, "Captain Hui-Chieh, this is Bagpipe. We've taken over base security. What's your status, over?"

"Bagpipe, we're in position. Open the outer door to launch control." Ch'en ordered.

"Roger, we're on it." Ch'en, Hoshiguma, and Amiya waited for the door to open. "Standby, almost there." After waiting for a few more seconds, Bagpipe said, "Got it. Doors coming online now."

Ch'en nodded before turning to Amiya and Hoshiguma, "Everyone, get ready to bang and clear." The two obliged with Amiya sticking with Hoshiguma as the trio took cover by the entrance of the blast doors.

The door then started to open, however it is going slower than they expected.

"Oh, you gotta be shittin' me." Hoshiguma said in a displeased tone.

"Of course that's gonna happen..." Barty said.

"I always wonder why blast doors like that always go damn slow." Chard replied.

"Bagpipe, can't you make it open faster?" Ch'en asked.

"Negative sir. But you can try pulling it if it'll make you feel better." Bagpipe quipped.

"Cheeky bastard..." Ch'en remarked with an amused smile. 

While the three kept waiting for the door to fully open, Amiya sees Hoshiguma taking out a flashbang. "Flashbang ready. You good to go?" Hoshiguma said before turning to Amiya, in which she nods in confirmation.

When the door was almost open, gunfire erupted from the other side. "Amiya! Hoshi! Do it." Ch'en ordered to throw the flashbang.

"Flash out!" Hoshiguma said, throwing her flashbang in as Amiya did the same when she threw her own flashbang in. 

After the two flashbangs ignited, the three Rhodes Islanders move into the room. Amiya shot down a Reunion soldier by the boxes infront. She turned to her right and shoot down another soldier by a room.

The three shifted to a hallway where four Reunion soldiers up ahead are firing at them. Hoshiguma suppressed fire at them, though they managed to take cover. Amiya then decide to cook a grenade before throwing it to their position. 

She managed to kill two of them as the other two got out of cover, allowing Ch'en and Hoshiguma to shoot them dead. After taking care of the hostiles, the three continued on as they went down some stairs before reaching an area that acts as the far wall of the control room that is beside them.

"Looks like that's the place." Orchid said.

"I'm assuming they're gonna breach their way in." Spot replied.

"They're not gonna use the doors?" Popukar asked.

"They want to use the element of surprise, dear Popukar." Midnight stated. 

"Yeah, it's gonna caught the Reunion forces off-guard." Dobermann said.

"Team three, what's your status, over?" Ch'en asked to the marine squad.

"Team Three in position, at the southeast side of the launch control room. Standing by." The squad leader responded. "Are you at the far wall over?"

"Affirmative. Preparing to breach." Ch'en confirmed before turning to Amiya, "Amiya - plant the explosives, go!"

Amiya oblige the order as she make her way towards the wall before planting a C4 charge on it. Amiya then walks backs to a safe distance before igniting the C4 and destroying the wall.

"Go! Go! Go!" Ch'en, Hoshiguma, and Amiya head to the breached wall into the control room. They quickly engaged the Reunion forces inside it.

"Moving in." The team three leader said as Amiya sees the Yanese marines coming from the other side, engaging the hostiles aswell. Massey is also there being part of the squad.

"Hey look, there's Massey." Franka pointed out.

"How can you tell already?" Liskarm asked.

"His fur sticking out." She answered.

"You sound like you have a crush on him. He is not real, you know?" Vanilla said.

"I wish he was~" Franka smirked getting weird looks from her team.

Amiya focused back on the hostiles as she uses her M1014 shotgun to clear the room more effectively. She killed off two of them that were near the computers while the Marines focused on the enemies on their level. Shortly after, the room was cleared with all the Reunion soldiers killed.

"Clear!" Hoshiguma said.

"Amiya, enter the codes! We'll watch for enemy reinforcements." Ch'en ordered. 

Seeing the rest of the squad was guarding the area, Amiya went to one of the computers by the upper level of the room while noticing the screen ahead of him which displays a map of the entire Terran world of the alternate universe.

"So this is what the world of Terra looks like in this universe." Kal'tsit observed the map with a look of interest. It does feel way different than their own world.  

The other operators also observed the world in interest, until they focus back on Amiya.

Amiya quickly got to work as she went to the keyboard and starts uploading the abort codes to stop the missiles. Once she finished, Lee spoke up, "Standby for confirmation."

When he said that, the audience leaned in from their respective spots, tensing up if the missiles would abort in time.

"Standby...standby..."

After a few more seconds, Lee confirmed, "Bravo Six, all warheads have been confirmed destroyed in flight. We got a ton of debris, but most of it is landing in the ocean."

The operators felt relieved in them at his confirmation. The missiles were stopped, means that Yan and Victoria aren't going to get nuked.

Amiya breathe a sigh of relief, "We did it."

"We sure did." Ch'en said, turning to the Cautus operator with a smile.

"We saved 121 million people, and even more than that, from being vaporized." Hoshiguma added.

"With that out of the way, their only focus is on Patriot." Hellagur said.

"Now the problem is, where is he?" Doctor asked. 

"Sir, check the security feed! It's Patriot. He's takin' off!" Massey pointed out as the big screen switches from the security cameras where Reunion soldiers were embarking in their vehicles. Among them, the audience sees Patriot coming out of a building as he is heading towards an MI-24 Hind accompanied with a few guards.

"There he is." Kal'tsit pointed at the wendigo.

"So he's trying to escape the place." Hellagur observed. "Makes sense."

"There are lots of enemies outside..." Bagpipe said.

"Well they're gonna have to get out as fast as they can." Folinic replied.

"So does that mean the bunny and her friends aren't killing that old guy?" W asked regarding Patriot.

"Probably not." Doctor answered. 

Ch'en and a few others observed the scene and notices that Patriot was getting on the gunship. They began to think that he may not go down without a fight.

 "Captain Hui-Chieh, this is Bagipe at the security station. They came in by trucks. I'm thinking we can all use them to get the hell outta here. I'm sending you the coordinates to the vehicle depot." Bagpipe said.

"Roger that. We'll meet you at the vehicle depot! Out!" Ch'en replied before turning to the others, "Everyone follow me let's go!"

Amiya followed Ch'en and Hoshiguma out of the control room by the wall they breached into while the marines when a different path they went. She then notices that Massey is joining with them, acting as a replacement for Sesa.

"All teams this is command, recommend you exfil from the area immediately. Large numbers of hostiles are converging on your position. Get outta there now." Lee informed.

The squad make their way back to the heavy blast doors as they went left. "We got company! Enemy reinforcements movin' in!" Hoshiguma shouted as Amiya could see several hostiles by the hallway.

Amiya took aim with her M4A1 Sopmod and quickly put them down. Amiya took point with Massey behind her as she turned left and was met with more Reunion soldiers firing at her.

She took cover with Massey firing at the hostiles. Ch'en and Hoshiguma joined in on the fight and cleared a path to the elevator ahead of them.

"Move! Move!" Ch'en urged as the four head towards the elevator. Amiya went in first followed by Hoshiguma and Massey. Ch'en then pressed a button before joining in with the rest. 

The elevator's entrance then closes before heading up towards the vehicle depot where Bagpipe and the rest are stationed.

"This is Bagpipe. We're takin' some fire up here at the vehicle depot. Where the hell are you guys??" Bagpipe asked as gunfire were heard from the radio.

"We're coming up the lift. Standby." Ch'en responded.

Amiya notices Massey and Hoshiguma glancing at eachother before the latter spoke up to Ch'en. "You know sir, We wouldn't mind gettin' a shot at Buldrokkas'tee." Massey nodded in agreement from her remark.

"Yeah...well...get in line, you two...if he doesn't find us first..." Ch'en said.

"He probably won't, given they're gonna escape the place, anyway." Blaze said.

"With trucks nonetheless." Steward added.

"And even then, he still has the loyalists to deal with." Melantha pointed out.

The elevator then reached the top floor as it opened from the other side. Amiya and the rest pressed on to the vehicle depot, passing by dead Reunion soldiers. 

They continued on until they reached the vehicle depot and meet up with Bagpipe, Yato, Noir, Barty, and Chard. They're engaging the Reunion forces that were near the vehicles.

Amiya took out two of them by using a red barrel they were standing beside. Fortunately, it didn't cause a chain reaction to destroy the vehicles. She then saw that Team Three had also made it to the vehicle depot.

Having the Reunion forces outnumbered, the thirteen strong joint-op force quickly dealt with the enemies in the vehicle depot.

"All right, get in the trucks! Let's go!" Ch'en commanded.

"You heard the woman! Move!" Hoshiguma followed. 

The Rhodes Island operators and the Yanese marines were then embarking the vehicles before the screen goes black, ending the mission.

_______________________________

"That was a great mission." Closure spoke up.

"Yeah, especially now that the missiles are no longer a threat to the 121 million people in Yan." Amiya said with a relieved expression.

"Score one for the good guys!" Bagpipe smiled.

Meanwhile, Sesa was still looking bitter after the mission, "I still can't believe i died..."

"Well, welcome to the club." Dobermann chimed in, not wanting him to be alone in the situation as her character died earlier in the extraction mission in Kazimierz.

"Look on the bright side, Sesa." Vulcan said, "Your death wasn't in vain as 121 million people were saved from being annihilated."

"And i think you even saved Amiya from the shrapnel of that rocket, otherwise she could've been dead right there." Blaze added.

Sesa let out a sigh before smiling  of the self-sacrifice scenario, "I guess you're right. We don't live forever, anyway."

"With the missiles no longer airborne, all they have to do now is escape the area and head to the LZ." Kal'tsit recounted.

"It should be a walk in the park." W said.

"Not quite." Ch'en disagreed, "I assume the Reunion forces aren't taking this too lightly. Besides, they are still in enemy territory, most likely controlled by Reunion. And to point out, Patriot was heading towards that Hind gunship with all the weapons and stuff."

"So...that means he's gonna put up one last fight." Hellagur said. 

"Well bring it on then!" Noir exclaimed, fist tightening, "I'd like to see him take on all of us."

Yato rolled her eyes. "With that attitude of yours, he might kill a few of us."

"Oh lighten up, Yato. That's not gonna happen." Dylan assured.

"If Patriot's gonna confront them by himself, I wonder who's gonna be the one to kill him?" Hibiscus wondered with Lava glancing at her with a weirded expression of how casually she said that.

"It's going to be Amiya, since she is the main character in this whole game movie thing." Spot stated, a few of the ops agreed to what he said.

"That is if Amiya allowed one of her teammates to do the honors." Catapult replied.

"To be honest, I don't care if we get to kill Patriot or not." Amiya said her thoughts, "The important thing is that we're all getting out of Ursus safe and sound."

Doctor and Kal'tsit smiled while Ch'en, Bagpipe, Hoshiguma and the other ops all nodded in agreement. Even W also agreed with the rabbit, while adored how optimistic she can be sometimes.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Doctor spoke up as they grab the remote, "Let's go to the next mission, which may possibly be the last one." 

"If it is the last, I hope it goes well." Kal'tsit replied as Doctor pressed the button, moving on to the last mission of MW1. 

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

Alright, that was the penultimate mission for Cod 4. We're heading towards the last one!

I decided to kill off Sesa like how Dobermann would die. He may have died as if he was an NPC, but it sometimes feels more impactful when they died like they're nothing.

By the way, thank you everyone for having this book to reach 100k views. It is the first time it happened in my account and I'm very happy for the attention.

See you all in "Game over!"
