The satellite uploads a video feed of a city in flames at night with anti-aircraft fire shooting out from the ground.

Lisa Lavender: After heavy fighting yesterday. Marines and soldiers began their push into the city where Shadow Company is making their last stand in Northern Vacuo. Fighting has intensified in the city as Anti-aircraft fire and burning buildings light the night.

Lisa Lavender: Today, communications are in chaos and commercial flights from the airport have been cancelled. While some con...

As the reporter is speaking, David started talking.

David: Inside the SC compound in Schent City, we established contact with the Atlesian military defector named Lieutenant Colonel Olive Harper.

David: She turned herself in at Schent. She has intel on Jet Falcon, everything.

David: The SC had surrounded the city. The compound had all but burned to the ground.

David: Her protection team had gone dark. We couldn't accept that she was dead. We needed that fucking dossier! Oorah!?

Marines and soldiers: OORAH/HOORAH!!!

David: Let's go!

Schent, Vacuo

David and Hotel Six fly above the SC compound, and hover over it.

Hotel Six:*talking through the radio* SC compound in sight. You are jumping into some deep shit, guys.

David: We're here to yank the defector, with vital intel on SC involvement in Vacuo. We lost contact with her security team. They may be holed up in the SC's safe room.

Randy Park: If she's alive, we'll find her!

The team's Blackhawk flies throughout the city. Many things can be seen. A squadron of Venoms and Vale Bullheads can be seen flying below, A lone Apache can be seen taking out a Anti-Air gun, and an F-22 Raptor can be seen initiating a bombing run. The Blackhawk arrives at the SC compound.

Hotel Six:*talking through the radio* SOG X-Ray team, hook up.

David leaves the controls to the helicopter, and hooks up to rappel down to the compound. The helicopter is shot down by a mobile Anti-Air gun.

David: OH SHIT!!

Hotel Six:*talking through the radio* Quad 50! We're hit! We're hit!

The helicopter swings wildly out of control.

Randy: LOOK OUT!!!

Randy and David luckily manage to swing from their ropes into a room of the compound. Hotel Six goes down.

Hotel Six:*talking through the radio* Lima Niner, we are going down!

Lima Niner:*talking through the radio* Hotel Six, come back. Hotel Six, do you Roger?!

Panamanian Pilot:*talking through the radio* Lima Nine, Hotel Six is gone.

An SC soldier enters the room David and Randy are in to investigate the noise of the windows shattering when David and Randy crashed in. David ambushes him and snaps his neck, and attempts to pull Randy's SPAS-12 from the soldier's corpse. While he is doing this, he shoots 2 more SC soldiers passing the room and noticing the commotion. He breaks the gun away, and throws it to David.

David: Here, your SPAS-12, it'll hold your incendiaries.

Randy catches the gun and loads Dragon's Breath shells. After that, he shoots and kills ten SC soldiers in one-shot.

David: Holy shit!

Randy: Move out.

Ryan:*on the radio* Lima Niner, I got eyes on X-Ray.

Ryan:*on the radio* You got SC all over the north wing, sir.

David: Light 'em up, Cooper!

Lima Niner:*on the radio* Lima Nine is inbound.

Ryan:*on the radio* X-Ray, get your heads down!

David and Randy take cover as Lima Niner shoots inside the building with the Blackhawk's heavy machine guns, killing SC soldiers.

Ryan:*on the radio* X-Ray, you're clear.

David: Come on, move up!

A civilian passes by David and Randy, startled upon seeing them and fearing they would shoot him.

Randy: Out of the way, go! Cooper, northeast corner.

Ryan:*on the radio* On the way.

Ryan:*on the radio* X-Ray, we're breaching the roof. The whole building's overrun!

Randy: Dispatch is next floor down.

Ryan and a Mexican Marine rappel down from a window from the roof, and clear the room.

Mexican Marine:*to David* You think the defector survived this attack, sir?

David: Well if she did, then she's one tough daughter of a bastard!

An SC soldier outside of the building gives orders to his troops.

Randy: What did he say? I couldn't hear from all the gunfire?

David: He said, "Kill the civilians."

Ryan: What?

Randy and the Mexican Marine: WHAT?!

SC loudspeaker: Your collaboration with NATO, SATO and ROM is proof of your guilt. In accordance with tradition, the punishment of death is to be carried out immediately.

SC soldiers enters a room and executes unarmed civilians. X-Ray kills the SC in a firefight.

Lima Niner:*on the radio* X-Ray, this is Lima Nine, anyone who doesn't get out soon isn't going to. The SC have overwhelmed the entire north wing.

David: Roger that Lima Niner, moving on.

Randy: Safe room is just ahead.

X-Ray team enters a room with stairs, and SC soldiers.

David: Fire Dust Molotov!

Randy: At the window!

An SC soldier throws a Fire Dust molotov cocktail from a window high up to the ground. A few more civilians run in, but to no avail are killed by Shadow Company.

Ryan: The safe room is down there.

X-Ray clears the room.

Ryan: Clear!

Randy: Shit! Safe room's been breached!

Ryan: So where's your contact?

David: She might have fallen back to the safe room... She may still be alive. Let's move, on me.

David kicks open a door, leading to the war room, with many SC soldiers inside.

David: The safe room is on the other side of the war room. ROCKET!

A soldier with an rocket launcher appears. They clear the room of SC soldiers.

Randy: Clear!

David: Lima Niner, sitrep, over!

Lima Niner:*on the radio* X-Ray - SC have taken over the south of the compound - you are cut off.

David: Shit.

Ryan: Roger that Lima Niner.

Lima Niner:*on the radio* You'd better get your asses in gear if you want an evac.

Randy: Let's go.

X-Ray team enters a hallway.

David: She should be in one of these rooms. Park, take the door at the far end of the hallway. Cooper - on me.

Randy enters the room and is ambushed by a single SC soldier. The soldier attempts to stab Randy, but Olive Harper snaps his neck from behind.

Olive helps Randy up.

Olive: You American?

Randy: Yeah. You LtCol. Olive Harper?

Olive: That's right. But I'm not part of the military anymore. I'm a No-Pat. So, just Olive or Harper.

Randy:*smirks* Or how bout 아름다운 여인~

Olive:*raised eyebrow* What's that mean?

Randy:*smirks* It's Korean for, "beautiful woman"~

Olive cracked a faint smile at Randy's attempt at a compliment, appreciating the effort to lighten the tense situation.

Olive: Well, it's been a while since someone called me beautiful. Now, how about we get out of here before things get any messier?

Olive picks up a dossier from a table, and hands it to Randy.

Olive: We need to get out of here and share the information I have on Shadow Company's Public Enemy #1. Aka; The person that the Greene brothers hate the most.

There is a small explosion that shakes the building.

David:*on the radio* Park? You get what you came for?

Randy: Yes, sir.

They leave the compound, and meet up with David and Ryan.

Olive: Are these your men?

Randy: Yes. Fernandes, Cooper.

Olive: Harper.

David: Nice to meet you. That intel had better be worth it.

Olive: It is.

David: Lima Niner, where the hell's our pick up?!

Lima Niner:*on the radio* X-Ray, be advised, Marine and Army forces are engaged in heavy fighting west of the compound. Push through to rally point Delta - 2 klicks north on the river.

David: We'll make it - you just be there!

SC Loudspeaker: NATO and SATO soldiers! Put down your weapons! This is not your war! We wish you no harm. Shadow Company is here to liberate you!

Ryan: We're gonna need some close air support for this.

Randy: Skies too dangerous for a AC-130.

The team makes it to the downtown of Schent City, and meet up with Marines and Soldiers engaging SC, aided by an M2 Bradley named "Bottom Feeders". Randy walks up to their leader, USMC Sergeant Major David Kingston, who is trying to call an airstrike, but is being denied.

Kingston: R-T Texas this is One-Five. We need immediate air support at grid 7 Delta Oscar Tango!

Texas:*on the radio* One-Five we do not have clearance in that grid. Everyone's in the shit, son.

Kingston: Son of a bitch, fuck!

David: PARK! Grab that damn radio!

Randy: Pull it together, and give me that radio!

Kingston: What are you, S.O.G?

Randy: Just give me the radio.

Kingston: Good luck with that shit.

Kingston gives Mason the radio.

Randy: Texas this is Sierra Oscar Golf X-Ray. Priority one ordinance on my command. I authenticate golf two, over.

Texas:*on the radio* Affirmative, X-Ray. Let us know when you need us.

Randy: Marking coordinates, take 'em out.

Texas:*on the radio* Coordinates confirmed. Contact at the six story building.

Texas:*on the radio* Coming in, X-Ray. keep your heads down.

Texas flies in a modified Bell UH-1Y Venom with the XM21/M21 Armament Subsystem. Fires at the six story building. X-Ray team jumps down the ledge and enters the streets.

Olive: Holy crap!

Texas:*on the radio* We have confirmed kills, area secure.

David: X-Ray, move out!

The Marines, Soldiers, and X-Ray move forward, taking out multiple SC. However, after moving one or two blocks, the M2 Bradley Bottom Feeders is destroyed by an enemy tank that looked similar to the M26 Pershing tank. The tank moves back toward the end of the street.

Randy: Shit.

David: Bradley's down! There's a fucking tank out there! Park, tag that son of a bitch right now!

Randy: Texas, we have enemy armour at Viktor, Zulu, Seven Foxtrot!

Texas:*on the radio* Affirmative X-Ray, standby for strafing run.

Texas comes in at the opposite end of the street where the tank is.

Texas:*on the radio* X-Ray, we're coming in hot!

Texas destroys the tank, allowing X-Ray team to move on.

Texas:*on the radio* Tank destroyed, X-Ray, you are clear to proceed.

David: X-Ray, move out! The LZ's half a klick away, end of the street.

The SC are dug in in a building. Randy calls in support.

Randy: Marking coordinates. Take em' out, Texas.

Texas:*on the radio* Affirmative, X-Ray.

Texas goes to attack, however, a Anti-Air gun starts firing at Texas.

Texas:*on the radio* Shit... evasive action! X-Ray, we are under heavy fire! X-Ray, the grid is hot, RT-Texas is pulling out. Take down that anti air and we will return support, over.

Randy: Understood, Texas.

Kingston: I see it! Anti-Air, second floor, end of the street.

Olive: Gotta find another way! That street's in the beat zone.

Ryan: We'll that flank that building.

They run to the building, but the door is blocked by debris. David tries push it out, but it wouldn't move.

David: Park, Harper! Help me clear this! Arg...

David, Olive, and Randy try to move the debris blocking the entrance to the flanking building, but they are stuck.

Kingston: We got a tank!

An enemy tank that looks like a Tiger II rolls in and engages X-Ray.

David:*sees the tank* Oh crapbaskets! Push harder!

Mexican Marine: We need to get off the street!

Randy: Fuck!

The tank explodes a car, sending it and the Mexican Marine that had been taking cover behind it flying towards David, Olive, Ryan, Kingston, and Randy, but they make it in just before it hits them. Randy moves the Mexican Marine's corpse laying on top of him, and moves on.

David: Guys, we gotta take out that AA. Cooper, keep these guys safe.

Ryan: Got it.

While Olive, Ryan, David, and Randy are clearing the building, Randy and Olive falls through the floor when the tank fires on the building.

They quickly regain their composure and assess the situation. Dust and debris settle around them as they find themselves in a lower level of the building.

Randy:*coughs* Harper, you okay?

Olive: Yeah, I'm fine. Looks like we're in the basement now. We need to find a way back up and deal with that anti-air gun.

Randy: Agreed. Let's move quietly and stay low. We don't want to draw too much attention down here.

They proceed cautiously through the dimly lit basement, navigating through twisted metal and debris. The sound of the tank's engine reverberates through the structure, a constant reminder of the looming threat above.

Olive:*whispering* Keep an eye out for any hostiles or alternate routes back up.

Randy:*whispering* Will do. And be ready for anything.

As they make their way deeper into the basement, they can hear faint voices and footsteps echoing from a nearby corridor. It seems they're not alone down here.

David:*on the radio* Park! You okay?

Randy: I'm still breathing. We'll see you at the rally point.

Randy and Olive find the AA, and clear the SC guarding it.

Randy: The AA is right above us.

Olive: Put a charge on the ceiling. Blow the floor beneath them.

Randy steadies the a C4 charge on some exposed rebar wires, and gets to a safe distance.

Ryan:*on the radio* I got SC in my pocket here One Zero. How much longer?

Randy: 'Bout 3 seconds.

Olive: Get to a safe distance!

Randy: We're clear! Ready, Harper?

Olive: Ready!

Randy: Fuck you, AA!

Randy blows the charge, destroying the AA and destroying the front half of the building.

Olive: Ha! Good work, Park!

The enemy tank backs away upon realizing its anti-air support is gone, but is destroyed by Texas as it arrives at the rally point to evacuate the wounded. The gunship lands, and the team and the Marines and Soldiers get into the town square.

David: There's our ride.

Ryan: I'm not so sure...

Texas:*on the radio* Get the wounded first. More birds on their way - sit tight. X-Ray, air support is offline while we evacuate the wounded.

David: Looks like we got to wait. Everyone load up - I want this LZ secure! Park, Cooper, set up charges around the perimeter.

Ryan and Randy does what they can to secure the LZ.

Smoke is popped and the SC enter the area after the loudspeaker is heard , followed by battle cries from the SC ground troops.

David: Here they come!

Kingston:*switches SA80 A2 to Full-Auto* Let's do this you bloody wankers!

A fierce firefight erupts in the town square as the SC forces close in on X-Ray's position. The team, along with the Marines and Soldiers, defend their LZ with everything they've got.

Randy and Ryan unleash their firepower, picking off SC soldiers as they advance. The crackling of small arms fire and explosions from grenades echo through the chaos.

David coordinates the defense, providing cover fire and directing his team members to strategic positions.

David: Keep 'em off us, Park! We can't lose this LZ!

Randy: You got it, boss!

Olive uses her No-Pat skills to navigate the battlefield, taking precise shots and neutralizing threats efficiently.

Olive:*calmly* Headshot... and another.

Kingston, the seasoned Marine, shouts encouraging words to his men as they hold the line.

Kingston:*yelling* Don't let those bastards take this LZ! We're getting out of here!

Explosions and gunfire intensify as the SC forces attempt to overwhelm X-Ray's position. The battle rages on, and every member of the team fights valiantly to ensure the safety of the LZ.

After the firefight, the SC begin to fall back.

Randy: They're pulling back! That's either good or bad!

Olive: Bad! They are not retreating - they are regrouping!

David: Command! - X-Ray One Zero! We got a prairie fire down here! Where's our damn evac?!!

US Command:*on the radio* This city's falling apart - They're picking our birds right out of the sky! You're not the only ones trying to get out! B-2 Bombers are planning on glassing this city! 

David: We have a priority one package to extract - we need that evac!

US Command:*on the radio* We'll find another way - hold your position.

SC Loudspeaker: NATO and SATO soldiers! Your aggression towards the Shadow Company will not go unpunished.

US Command:*on the radio* X-Ray, your evac is on its way.

SC Loudspeaker: Instead of returning to your own kingdom - you will die in our-

The sounds of gunfire and laughter is heard on the loudspeaker until it is cut off.

Olive: What just happened?

David:*deadpans* Mina Takahashi just happened.

Eric Chappy:*on the radio* X-Ray. This is Chief Warrant Officer-2 Chappy, check your six, we have are heading on your coordinates in a CH-53E Super Stallion.

David: Roger that! Good to hear you, ya middle age badass!

Chappy:*on the radio* Direct fire support to cover arrival. Delta squadron is on station.

David: Got it. X-Ray out. Park! Mark that target!

An SC tank and enemy infantry rolls in towards X-Ray team.

Running and killing multiple enemy infantry is Mina.

Mina:*waving* Wait for me, Dave!

David: Dammit Mina! C'mon!

Randy: Marking coordinates. Delta squadron, burn 'em up.

Delta Squadron:*on the radio* Roger X-Ray, Target Run, get your people back.

Ryan:*sees Chappy's CH-53E* CH-53E's here!

The SC tank blows up the gate to the harbour, allowing the team, along with the Marines and Soldiers and Mina to get to the Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion.

David: Get your asses to the chopper! Incoming, danger close!

Kingston: Move, move it!

Randy: Go, to the chopper!

Olive: Get in!

Everyone jumps into the CH-53E, and the airstrike of B-2 Bombers that Randy called blows up the entire square, sending some SC soldier bodies flying just as Mina and David jumps in. The CH-53E starts to fly away to rejoin the main forces back in Mistral.

Mina: That was so much fun! I killed a lot of SC!

David: You have a peculiar sense of fun, Mina. But I'm glad you made it out in one piece. That airstrike should buy us some breathing room.

As the CH-53E flies away from the chaos of Schent City, the team and the rescued personnel can finally catch their breaths, knowing they've successfully extracted Lieutenant Colonel Olive Harper and valuable intel while escaping the clutches of Shadow Company.

Randy:*exhales* What a ride... Glad it's over.

Olive:*smirks* Well, it might be over for now, but our work is far from finished.

David: She's right. We've got the intel, but we still need to make good use of it and deal a significant blow to Shadow Company.

The CH-53E continues its flight back to Mistral, carrying the exhausted but determined team, Marines, Soldiers, and their valuable cargo, as they prepare to face the next challenges in their mission to take down Shadow Company.
