== Prologue ==
it was Evening Night in Moscow as i walk through the street, looking to refresh myself after work, Cars and People passed by me as i continued to walk down the street. I keep walking until i saw people fleeing in terror from something. As i baffled about what's going on, one of them came to me frantically and said this.
"Run if you want to live" he said.
Suddenly An Pack of Black Wolves Appear out of nowhere, They start to attack people indiscriminately, my knowledge tells me that wolves do not attack human, and even it were the reported attacks were small in scale.
but these wolf is different, even though is same as other wolves, there's one difference, their eyes.
Wolves eyes were usually gold by nature, but this one is red. Something i find as surprising.
before long the wolves turned their heads on me and it finally struck me that i'm it's next prey, consider the Wolf Irrational Behaviour that attack everyone including the one stand still, i decided to run.
The Wolves began to chase me in packs, i try my best to outrun them by through the street, back alleys, and even went as far as in construction site.
but despite all of that, the wolves still managed to catch up, in the end i tripped and lost my balance and fell. The wolves began to circled me to prevent me from escaping, then one of the wolves began to approach me.
with it's bright red colored eye and an sense of bloodlust, the wolf went on the top of me and open it's mouth, ready to kill it's prey. I looked at the wolf in the eyes, face to face, before the wolf bit my neck. That was the last thing i ever remember.
it was then that i suddenly wake up and realised that i was in the Kamaz Typhoon APC with my squad in the streets of Manhattan. Immediately i felt a sign of relief as well as confused feeling. The dream was the strangests and most horrible nightmare i ever felt, but then again dreams can be tricky, so i haven't give the dream a little thought. It was Something i will regret in few moments .
"hey, you okay ?, you seems to have quite a nightmare" said Oleg.
"Yeah, a really bad one".
"Wanna Talk About it" Oleg said to me as he's curious about my dream.
"Nah, just some bad weird dream, forget about it" i said since i don't want to talk about it.
"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it fine by me" Said Oleg.
Oleg was my best friend since we're child, we were together since Kindergarten to the Army Boot Camp, he's happen to be a Seducer, wooing every girls he had on sight, he even joined the Army so that he can brag to the girls how tough now that he's a soldiers.
me, it was not my decision to join the Army, before i joined i had planned to study to become an professor in Moscow State University, but my father disapprove. My father was a Military man, passed down to his generation to generation and now to me.
A few weeks of training and i found myself across the world from home, in America. Me, Oleg and several Soldiers in my assigned Platoon are completely new here. But they said that this Operation is simple, doesn't require fighting skill. All we gotta do is to check wereever there's any survivors or not and we all received a hero's welcome back to Russia.
oh how it differs from the realities we will experienced later on.
(End of Prologue)
== Chapter 1 ==
as the Typhoon keep driving down the road, Nervousness filled the air. the road we're passing are unusually quiet, and the fact that we're riding down at night makes me trembled for no reason. all of this happen because the Bioweapon.
i don't know about that Bioweapon but some of them says that it was an Ethnic Bioweapon made by China, that was happen to be deployed after an Violent Uprising in America, i heard many of the soldiers lost their lives trying to contain the Uprising. as for why we still alive despite we're here, we were "vaccinated" to be exact, the Vaccine is the only thing that keeps us alive and immune to the Bioweapon, so we have no risk of exposure by the Bioweapon.
"Alexei, do you see anything on your window ?" Oleg said to me, curious about what did i see at my seat.
"Nothing, this place is dead, i haven't caught a single lifeforms, how about you ?"
"same as yours, but hey at least we don't have to worry about the Americans No more".
"True" i said with uninterested expression.
i had no interest in politics, let alone get involved into International Affairs, at the time America was Invaded, i was still studying in my room, so i had no idea about what's happening in America, except the Uprising.
"i agreed with you kid, those Americans happen to killed several of my friends, serves them right" said Gregory
Gregory was a Seasoned Soldier, already completed his first tour of duty, but instead to stay in Russia, he's sign up for the second tour as he hear News about the Uprising, i heard the reason he went back to America is to get back to the American Resistance after they killed several of his Squadmates.
"Slow Down Gregori, sure the Bioweapon did it's job but that doesn't mean that you and others can just sitting under the sun all day and celebrate, we still don't know if there's a survivors" said Major Nevsky.
Major Nevsky was our Commanding Officer of Our Battalion, An Veteran who saw combat in Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, Syria, and America. he's had Several Dog Tags on his Belt, Possibly the Men he lost under his command, still he's a good man, and he will never let his men to die on his watch, fate just keep interfering from going that way.
"And let's not forget that we're not here for picnic, we here for search and rescue, so stay on your toes Soldier" Nevski said as he cautioned Gregory.
"Fine, Still what's with the Search and Rescue Mission, we're supposed to join others deeper into American Territory" Gregory Questioned Major Nevsky.
"h-h-he's right, Sir. shouldn't other units perform the mission themselves" said Roman.
Roman was a New Recruit like me and Oleg, born in Volgograd, he was Conscripted into the Army and assigned to our Battalion. one look at his nerdy look and you know that it his first time serving in the Army.
"a Hour ago Command lost contact with the NBCP unit sent to Manhattan, so they decided to sent an Squad to see what has happen to them, but...."
"we lost contact with them too, so far any attempt to contact them has failed" Lieutenant Zhukov as he continued Nevsky's Explanation.
Lieutenant Zhukov was the Battalion Second-in-Command, he was Nevsky's most trusted men and an Veteran just like him.
"so we were sent to look for them ?, i get it" Oleg as he's understand the situation.
"Our Battalion was assign to look for them as well as securing their last known location, we will meet up with 3rd Battalion and find both NBCP and the Rescue Squad and bring them home, even if they already dead, understood" Nevsky said.
"Yes, sir" every soldier including me shout as the driver want to tell something.
"one minute" said the driver.
"check the equipment" Nevsky said as we follow his instruction by recheck our equipment.
"i don't want an empty seats here when we done here, understood".
The Typhoon APC began to make it's stop, and with it the beginning of an twisted tale.
(End of Chapter 1)
== Chapter 2 ==
The APC Began to make a stop, and the Lieutenant Zhukov said this. "GO,GO,GO".
we began to dismount from the APC, one by one, securing the Area among others of the 2nd Battalion as Nevski and Zhukov meet up with the 3rd Battalion CO.
"Major Pyotr Nevsky, Second Battalion, this is Lieutenant Zhukov" Nevski said as he's approach the 3rd Battalion CO.
"Major Boris Voronin, at your service" Major Voronin said as he handshakes Nevsky and Zhukov.
"what's the situation, Major Voronin ?".
"good news is we found them, they right over here, Bad News is....., you might wanna take a look at this" Voronin said as he shows Nevsky a Bloodied Street.
"what the hell !" Nevsky's in shock of what horrible scene he's seeing.
the street were filled with dead bodies, some of them gruesomely, i managed to catch sight of them and next thing i knew i began to vomit by one look at those bodies.
"Holy shit, hey is this common around here ?" Oleg said as he asked Gregory about the scene.
"i saw some bad shit in my first tour, but this....., this is first time i ever seeing something like this" Gregory said as he looked at the bodies in disgust.
Voronin then turn his head to Nevsky, "we found them like this during our search, based on the equipment they wearing, my guess is that they were the NBCP Unit as well as the Rescue Team we sent, i already contact the HQ About this, poor bastard"
"who would done this horrible act" Zhukov said.
"no idea, though they weren't killed by bullets, we found no bullet holes in them, instead we found them in bruises, some of them even had it's body parts ripped from them, it's like some sort of monsters killed them, not them Americans." Voronin said.
"d-d-d-don't tell me, that the Bioweapon has something to do with it" said Roman Frighteningly.
"what kind of nonsense is that, Roman" Gregory angrily berates Roman.
"Hey, just because about what happen to them doesn't mean that the Bioweapon has something to do with it, Sir what do you think ?" Zhukov ask Nevski about his thought.
".......did you found any rifles, Voronin ?" Nevsky ask Voronin.
"no, my first guess would be that there are survivors here, they may know what's happening here" said Voronin.
"Maybe, .....Zhukov, tell the men to prepared to search for any survivors, they may know about what's happen here, and tell them that we need them alive"
"yes, sir".
Before Zhukov left, an 3rd Battalion Soldier Suddenly shouts.
"there's a survivor here !" he said.
immediately Nevsky ordered Zhukov to take some of the men and prepared to fight.
"finally, it's show time" Gregory said.
"ready for this, Alexei" Oleg asked me if i'm prepared.
"yeah" i answered.
Nevsky, Zhukov, and Voronin along with several of Soldiers then quickly approach the Shouting soldier and said this.
"i spotted an girl in this Apartement, my guess that she's upstairs" said the soldier.
"alright, she might be in one of those room, check the rooms and make sure there's no hostiles in there, one more thing we need her alive, got it."
everyone including me understood his order and we moved upstairs.
we checked room by room, corner by corner, just to see if she's or other survivors there, for a while there's nothing here, all we ever found was ranging form empty room to discovery of an Bloodied Adult dead body.
"see, Roman. the Bioweapon has done it's job, there's nothing wrong here" Gregory assured Roman who still afraid of the notion that the Bioweapon has something to do with the carnage we saw down the street.
eventually we reach Room 507, and when Zhukov open it, it didn't locked like the rest of them.
"Alright, Alexei you take point" Zhukov said as he's pointing me to be the first to enter the room, i was nervous to enter the room, but in the end orders are orders, so i entered the room.
"I'm Right behind you, Alexei" Oleg said to me.
"Thanks, i appreciated it" i thank Oleg in Gratitude, knowing that he's always watch my back.
i point my Flashlight-Equipped AK-12 Rifle in the Room, along with Oleg behind me, we went inside the dark room and began to search for the girl.
but just them i point my rifle on a living room and there she is, standing right there, looking at two male and female bodies who were lying there with their hands holding each other.
"we found her, stand down" Oleg told the rest.
she's White, Brunette, and appears to be 15 or 16 years old, she had a tear in her eyes, who happens to be red. back then i didn't give the red eye color a thought. i looked around and i found an photo, it was the two corpse along with the girl while she was a child, my guess is that those two body were her parents.
"alright, tell me who done it" Voronin said as he's approach her.
"take it easy, Voronin, she just a child" Nevsky said to Major Voronin.
but still Voronin shakes her hard, questioning her who has done the butchery, before she spoke for the first time.
"the survivors" she said faintly.
Major Voronin, satisfied with her answer, began to ordered his men.
"listen up soldiers, we going to captured these barbarians and make them pay for what they done to our soldiers, there's will be no mercy for those who stand against us" said Voronin.
as he ordered his men, i spotted her whispering by herself when i looked at her.
"why, why did this happening, i promised myself that i will not be a bad girl again and will happily live together with my parents, why this is happening". she said while her eyes is teary.
it was then that i had an familiar feeling, the feeling of bloodlust, i recognized that sickly feeling, but i have a hard time figure it out where did i recognized it. before long the girl words became more and more twisted by nature.
"must kill, must kill them, they must die, die, die, die, die, die".
eventually, i starting to pieces together everything, before i can warn them about what's happening the girl quickly grabbed an Pencil and stabbed Major Voronin Neck.
all of us in here is shock and began to frantically approach Major Voronin, several of Major Voronin's men began to grabbed the Hysterical girl who keeps shouting.
"die, die all you, die"
"fuck, get her outta here" Nevsky told the Voronin Men to grabbed the girl.
while they struggle to keep to restrain the girl, the rest of us is in frantic about about what to do as Major Voronin keeps bleeding.
"holy shit, get me a medic here now !". Gregory Shouts.
shouting filled the room as Nevsky try to carry Major Voronin to the medic.
"help me out here, hey help me out" Nevsky flap one of the soldiers shoulder to help carry him.
"get outta the way, outta the way, Oleg and Alexei, make room for us as we head downstairs".
"yes, sir" both Oleg and Me do as he said and clear the stairs for them to downstairs.
we then reach the street level as we called the Platoon Medic Dimitri to help us out.
"the hell happen ?" Dimitri as he's shocked upon seeing Major Voronin Condition.
"His neck was stabbed, we need you help doc" Oleg said to Dimitri.
"Put him down over there" Dimitri said as he point down an Street Chair.
"how he was stabbed ?" Dimitri ask Oleg about his wound
"he got stabbed by an Girl with An Pencil, the girl went nuts on us, shit".
"Alright, let me see wha i can do". Dimitri said as he's try to treat his wound.
before long Nevski grab an Radio and began to talk with it.
"this is 2nd Battalion, reporting to base, i need a transport for Major Boris Voronin who has been Gravely Wounded and need Medical Attention, please respond".
then suddenly an Radio Transmission came.
"this is 7-2, we engaging with the enemy and suffered heavy casualties, request backup, over"
"alright, where are you ?" Nevsky said as he asked where they are.
"Upper East Side, shit get some me down here right now, oh god what the hell is this, this wasn't mentioned in briefing".
"relax, we sent some men to your location, hold them off unti...."
another transmission comes in.
"engaging hostiles, request backup, request backup, shit, what the hell (screams)"
"the hell" Nevsky began to baffled.
"this is 2-9, we need help immediately, we trapped inside an building, shit they try to break through".
"calm down, just give us your location and..."
"they breaking in, (gunfire) oh god no (screams)".
"hey hello ?, hello ?" Zhukov take the radio from Nevsky attempt to contact but to no avail.
"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. , Protect me from Demons who walk down the Earth....."
"hey what the hell you doing, you should be fightin, not reciting an prayer" Zhukov Angrily shouts to the radio.
"they here, god please protect me from the demons who walk down the earth..."
"hey answer me".
"die you demons, die for the eternity ( Gunfire and Screams )
"Hello, hello ?" Zhukov Baffled.
that was only the beginning.
(End of Chapter 2)
== Chapter 3 ==
the screaming voices in the radio clearly proves that there's something wrong of this place, especially since the Stabbing of Major Voronin by an American Girl, i start to remember my previous dream and suspect that the dream is some kind of sign, before long Oleg approach me and said.
"you alright, Alex. you seems to had a lot of you mind" said Oleg.
"i did ?, well i'm just thinking about the dream i had recently".
"you mean when you were sleeping on the way here ?, why you know something ?
it was clear that there is a connection of my dream with the stabbing incident and radio conversations, he may not believe it at first, but he will eventually. i told him about my dream to Oleg.
as i talking to Oleg, an Woman began to approach Major Voronin.
"god, what happen to you ?" said the woman.
both Major Nevsky and Lieutenant Zhukov began to approach her.
"excuse me, but are you one of Major Voronin's men" Nevsky asked her who she is ?
"oh, pardon me, where are my manners. Anya Volkova, Lieutenant, 3rd Battalion, sir., you must be Major Nevsky from 2nd Battalion". said Lt Volkova.
"indeed, Lieutenant" Nevsky said as he shake Volkova Hands.
"mind telling me what's going on here, i heard that an man from my Battalion were critically injured, but i never thought it would be Major Voronin himself, care to share any details" Volkova said.
"well, here's what has happen"
Zhukov began to explain how Major Voronin Was Stabbed.
".......where she is right now ?" Volkova ask about the girl whereabouts.
"don't worry, your men are restraining that girl as we speak, still can't believe that an kid like her would be capable of something like this" said Nevsky.
"a kid, how old she is exactly ?" Volkova asked.
"she's in her adolescent, 16 to be exact. but don't worry a girl like her would be restrained in no time"
suddenly an screaming was heard as a man fall down to the street.
"the fuck" Zhukov as he check the body.
"sir, that's one of the Voronin soldiers that try to restrain the girl" Zhukov report this to Nevsky and Volkova.
"what !" Nevsky Baffled.
"What's going on ?" i asked myself.
"sounds like it didn't go well for those guys upstairs" Oleg said.
Volkova then grabbed an Soldier Rifle and asked Nevsky.
"where is she ?".
"Room 507, on fifth floor" Nevsky answered.
"Oleg, Alexei, with me. we going to find out what the hell going on" Nevsky as he ordered me and Oleg to follow him.
me and Oleg are immediately follow his order and once again entered the Apartement.
we immediately went to Room 507 where we found what's left of Voronin's men.
"what the hell, it's a goddamn mess over here" Oleg said as he looked around the room.
Voronin's men were killed Gruesomely, one of them has his head turn around like a clock, with his heads facing back of his body, one that gives me and Oleg a chills.
"this is first time i seeing something like this, and a girl did all of this" Volkova as she looked around the room.
we searched the Room 507, but to no avail she's no where in sight.
"Anything ?" Nevsky asked us if we found her.
"no, she's already gone" Oleg said.
"dammit, .....we back down the street and get back to Base, i want to know what the hell is going on here, Zhukov, prepared the men to leave this place" Nevsky said.
"yes, sir" Zhukov said as we headed down back to the street.
as we outside the apartment, Dimitri approach us, bringing update about Major Voronin Condition.
"i try the best i could, but... in the end he died, he's already lost a lot of blood. sorry, Lieutenant" said Dimitri with heavy heart.
"......it's alright, you did the best you could" Lt Volkova assured Dimitri.
"i'm guess you're the 3rd Battalion Commander now" said Nevsky.
"i know, still we need to return to base, cause it sounds like this Operation are begin to out of control" Volkova warn.
"You're right, Zhukov, tell the men prepared to move out, we leaving this plac...."
before Nevsky can give the order, an gunshot rings out, and then an shouting.
"Man Down, Man Down" one of the Soldiers said.
Gregory then began to realised that they been attacked
"Major, we're under attack" Gregory said as gunfire erupts.
"shit, defensive position, Zhukov, get you men in position, Lt Volkova, prepared your men to fight" Nevsky said.
"Understood, prepared to battle men". Volkova round up 3rd Battalion Soldiers.
"Let's go, Alexei"
"alright"
me, Oleg, Gregory, Roman, and the rest of 2nd and 3rd Battalion engaged with the Americans who fired at us.
the fighting is intense, as more of them began to appear, Casualties began to appear
"i'm hit, medic", "we lost Anton, shit, "my leg....,i can't feel my leg".
those shouting began adding more and more the longer the battle took.
eventually the fighting stops, the Americans stop firing at us for no reason, we were baffled, but stay cautious.
"be cautious men, they may be up for something" Nevsky cautioned us.
then suddenly we hear something.
"hey, it's that our tank ?" one of the Soldiers spotted something.
"reinforcement !, we saved" an soldier exclaimined.
an T-90 Tank suddenly appear out of nowhere, but there's something off about that tank.
"..........get down" Nevsky shouts.
the tank fired at us, killing several men and wounded others.
"motherfucker, they hijack one of our tanks, shit" said Gregory.
before long our position is starting to get compromised, looking at the situation Major Nevsky decided to fall back.
"Fall back, fall back" Nevsky told his men to fall back.
but just behind us, another group of the Americans appear out of nowhere which basically trapped us, more of our soldiers are getting killed by them when Zhukov spotted an Subway Entrance.
"there's an subway entrance, we might get a chance if we go that way" Zhukov point out the subway entrance.
"alright, everyone head to the subway entrance" Nevsky ordered everyone to go to the subway.
Nevsky and Volkova led what's left of 2nd and 3rd Battalion into the subway entrance.
me and the others managed to enter the subway entrance as Zhukov and Gregory closed the Subway Gate. we immediately left before the Americans came.
eventually we reach the station platform, me and Oleg sit down to finally catch our breath after the chaos we been through.
"shit, this is not what i expecting when i sign up to the Army" Oleg said.
"yeah, my father will be surprise when i told him what happen today" i said.
"but hey, you think that crazy dream might had something to do with what's happening"
".........i don't know anymore, i just..... had a lot of my mind right now, let's catch our breath first, alright"
"well, if you say so".
(End of Chapter 3)
== Chapter 4 ==
Following our escape to the subway, we decided to rest for a bit as Our CO's try to figured out how to escape from this predicament. as me and Oleg sat on an Waiting Chair, Gregory approach us and said this.
"you guys alright ?," Gregory said to us if we managed to handled ourselves.
"well, considering we just fought and forced to flee from an Armed Angry Mob, yeah i'm definitely fine" said Oleg Sarcasticaly.
"i take that as a yes. how about you, Private ?" Gregory said to me.
"i'm fine, don't worry about me, Sergeant".
"alright, if you need something to talked about, you know when to find me" Gregory said as he left to check up other Soldiers.
after that i'm grabbed my Drinking Bottle and drink it out of thirst, then i said to Oleg this.
"can i be honest with you, man"
"sure, what you wanna talked about ?" Oleg said.
"back there, i'm scared, i'm scared i will be killed by them"
"i know, i too scared too myself, i mean after what happen with Major Voronin...., shit". Oleg sighs.
"well, that included, but i'm scared of something else".
"something like what ?".
"getting killed by Monster"
Oleg then burst out of laugh, and said "Monster, wow you are something else".
"i'm serious, i'm mean tell me, as far as i know no people like that girl that is capable to rotate someone's heads backward". i said to Oleg.
"alright, alright. i admit, something like that is weird. so what do you think about why she capable to do that ?".
"Maybe The Bioweapon has something to do with it ?".
"ha, you sound just like Roman, no way that Bioweapon capable to....., wait, you can't possibly".
"hey, that would be the most plausible explanation, doesn't it".
as we talk about it, Major Nevsky, Lt Zhukov, and Lt Volkova are looking at the subway map, try to figure out the best way to escape.
"we're here, in 96 Street Station, now the only nearby place where we could safe was the Grand Central Station, where our Forward Operation Base is located." Zhukov as he explain the route.
"to go there, we must use the Line 6 by using the subway tunnel heading south of here that eventually reached Grand Central-42nd Street Station after we passed several stations, we don't know what to expect unfortunately as we lack of intel as this point" Zhukov said.
"true, we don't know what will we faced there, and the fact that we only had 20 men including us, and we don't even know if the FOB is Compromised or not, at this point the situation is grim i'm afraid" Lt Volkova said.
"maybe, but it's our only shot. prep the men, Zhukov, we're moving out" Major Nevsky said.
"yes, sir" Zhukov began to ordered the men to move out.
we then began to move out and ventured the dark tunnel stretched ahead.
Flashlights were on, and we point it to the Dark Tunnel as we keep forward.
an couple of hours has passed and we already passed 88th, 77th, and 68th Stations. we're making an good progress so far.
but when we walked down, there were small voices, voices of despair, as we heard our comrades screaming each stations we passed by, Gregory even try to venture the gate to help them but Zhukov stop him, telling him that it was too late for them. for a while luck is on our side, as we haven't encountered the Americans so far.
that all changed as we arrived on 59st Street Station, one more station ahead of us we arrived at Grand Central.
when we arrived at the station, Nevsky decided to rest at the station before we continued to Grand Central, our feets already tired walking for hours,i haven't felt this tireness since the recruit training.
"shit, this whole trip is killing me" Oleg said.
"yeah, haven't felt like this since training, you remember right, when we were forced by the instructor to walk in the mountain while carrying heavy equipments on us".
"yeah, that was tiring as hell, no way i'm doing that again".
"just relax, Oleg. one more station after this one and you can rest all the time"
"damn right i will".
as we rest in the station, Roman came to us, it seems like he want to talk to us about something and said to me this.
"so, you suspect the bioweapon too ?" Roman said.
"what !, how do you ?".
"i'm accidently listen to your conversation earlier, that's how i knew". Roman said to us.
"huh, makes sense" i said.
"well, since you're here, why don't you share to us why you suspect this Bioweapon has something to do with freaky stuff happening here ?" Oleg said to Roman.
"alright, listen carefully. the reason i suspect the bioweapon becaus.....".
before Roman can say a word about what happen, four young Americans suddenly appear out of nowhere from the subway's stairs.
"the fuck, it's the Russians. fire" one of the Americans said.
then an firefight occured, i take cover along Oleg and Roman and began to shoot them back with our Rifles.
the Americans didn't have a chance, they were killed shortly afterward.
".....shit, check their bodies" Nevsky said as he ordered his men to check the corpses.
some of the men check their bodies and said "all clear".
"we should get outta here fast, before the rest of them find out what's happening to them" Lt Volkova Suggested to Major Nevsky.
"She's right, Major. if we stay here much longer, we be compromised" Lt Zhukov said.
"....alright. men, prepared to move out"
"yes,sir" everyone shouts as we continued our way to the Grand Central.
we left the 59st street station, and make our way to the 51st street station.
5 minutes later, and we already near the stations, when suddenly Major Nevsky ordered us to stop.
"Stop" Nevsky said as he raised his hand.
"what is it, Major ?" Volkova said as Nevsky began to look.
"this don't feel right" Nevsky said.
Nevsky suspicion has some merit on it, the way to the station platform is quiet, too quiet, then i sensed it.
the sense of bloodlust, The Killing Intent, closing in our position. and it's getting stronger, from front and back.
i realised what this means and shoutly said "get down".
it was not long before gunfire erupts from the back where we came from, killed several soldiers on the rear.
another gunfire rings out from front, everyone began to take cover.
"take cover !" Nevsky said.
we were surrounded on all sides, in front and back of our position. before loong the figures in our backs began to more clearer.
"the fuck !, that the group of the Americans we just killed !" Gregory said.
"what !" Zhukov as he was surprised.
the fight has taken toll of us, we lost most of our men and began to run out of ammo, just then an unknown figure open the door and said this.
"hey !, if you want to survive, follow me" said the man.
the man shouting for us to follow him, and left with no other choices, Nevsky decided to follow his lead.
"everyone into the door, quickly".
those who survived including me began to follow Nevsky to the door and as the last one in, i quicky closed the door.
"this way, quick !" the man said as he told us to follow him.
"i recognized the insignia, he's one of the NBC Protection Troops, we should follow him, sir" Zhukov said.
"it's better than staying in there, let's go" Nevsky said as he and others are led by the man through the door.
we walked along with the NBCP man who saved us and walked an long path.
eventually the man led us into an old subway station, no longer use anymore. by the looks of it the stations exists in 1940s before it was closed down.
as we entered the station, the man introduced himself as Pavel Chernenko.
"Sergeant Pavel Chernenko, NBC Protection Troops, at your services".
(End of Chapter 4)
== Chapter 5 ==
Sergeant Chernenko closed the gates behind us and told everyone to follow him.
"you must be tired after what happen back there, Major....."
"Nevsky, thank you for your help back there, if you didn't show up then we..."
"Relax, my friend. no need for thank you, here i introduced you to the others".
Chernenko then began to introduced the survivor group of this old stations, they were mix of NBCP's, Ground Forces and Even Spetsnaz Soldiers in the station. here Chernenko introduces us the one in charge of the survivor group as an man approach us.
"Captain Vladimir Brezhnev, 2nd Special Purpose Brigade. i'm the one who led the group" Brezhnev as he handshakes with Nevsky, Zhukov, and Volkova which began to introduced themselves.
"Captain, thank you for saving us" Nevsky said.
"not a problem, comrade, by the way how many of your soldier survive ?"
"well, at first we were size of 2 Battalion, then we left with 20, now we 8, it's not looking good at this point" said Zhukov.
"no worries, we need every men we could get, especially after we lost contact with the HQ in JFK Airport"
"what do you mean ?" Volkova asked why.
"well, it will be better if you listen to this" Brezhnev said as he play a tape.
the tape playing, and from there a voice came out.
"this is HQ, for any Units available, we're being overrun, i repeat, we being overrun, the Commanding Officer is dead and we suffered heavy casualties, need assistance, i repeat, need assitance ((American : Break the door down) attempt to breach the door), oh god they try to break in, fuck (door breached, (American : kill those Russians Son of Bitches)), oh god, please have mercy on us, please......(Screams)". (End of Recording)
"wait, then that means..." Nevsky realised something.
"yes, not only we lost contact with the HQ, we also lost contact with the Grand Central FOB, a few of them managed to survived from there and described it as Bloodbath, although we still have the Russian Fleet on the line".
"and what did they said ?" Zhukov Asked.
"that Operation Iron Wings has just become an total disaster, the Chinese also lost control of the situation and now they struggle to evacuate the area, that and coupled with Sudden Earthquake in the West Coast that led to Disruption of Chinese Chain of Command, the Command also ordered us to evacuate as well".
"god, how did this happen, i mean, how the Operation Deteriorated so fast" Nevsky said as he sat on a couch.
"well, i may have an answers for that, follow me" Brezhnev said as we followed him.
as we followed him i stumbled upon an familiar man, from there on i recognized his face.
"Professor Bulganin !, what are you doing here ?" i said to him in confusion.
"my, if it is one of my student Alexei Romanenko, come here" Professor Bulganin said as he hugged me."
"you know Professor Bulganin, Soldier ?" Brezhnev said to me for explanation.
Professor Bulganin was my Biologist Teacher during my University Years, he had interest with Biology from his early age, he gave me advices during my University years and one of the reason that i want to become an Professor, never thought i seeing him again in a place like this.
"he's happen to be one of my students during my time in Moscow State University, i gave him advices sometimes" Bulganin said as he remember the old days.
"heh, small world huh soldier" Chernenko said to me.
"and you, Oleg Melnikov, you were troublemakers during your stay in the University, i can't believe a brat like you managed to get enrolled in the Military".
"i always was, Professor" Oleg said to The Professor.
"so what is it that you want to show us, Captain ?" Nevsky said to Captain Brezhnev.
"oh, professor, can you show them what you found".
"absolutely, Alexei, if you please". Professor said as he point out the Microscope
i was quite surprise when the Professor called my name, perhaps since i'm an acquitances with him, so i approach the microscope and began to look at it.
"what did you see, Alexei".
there were two DNA samples within the Microscope, one of the strains is attacking other strains, the other one is merging with the other.
"what is this, Professor ?" i asked professor about what happen.
"Alexei, these are two DNA samples we taken recently, the one is from an man with African Origin and the other one were a pure luck, we managed to retrieve the sample intact from an man with European Origin, Caucasian to be exact".
"you managed to retrieve DNA samples from them !" said Nevsky.
"well, you can thank Captain Brezhnev for that, he managed to ambush and incapacitate An American long enough to retrieve the DNA samples from his Mouth" said Chernenko.
"it wasn't easy, despite it's tender age, he's prove to be strong, we even went as far as handcuffed him" said Brezhnev.
"alright, what does this mean exactly ?" Volkova said as she demand explanation.
"as you may now, the BW-1 Bioweapon are designed to killed it's intended Ethnic Group which in this case were Caucasian, Hispanic, Indians, Middle Eastern, Africans, Koreans, Japanese, And...."
"just get on with it, Professor" Gregory angrily asked the Professor to get to the point.
"ah yes, well, the result is..... Mixed i'm Afraid".
"Mixed ?, what do you mean the result it's Mixed" Zhukov as he demand Explanation.
"you see, of all the intended ethnic group, only Middle Easterner, Africans, Indians, Southeast Asians, And Mixed-Race People were killed in the end. Caucasian, Hispanic, Koreans, and Japanese were not".
"what the fuck !" Gregory said in disbelief.
"and those who survive were revived and now capable of Regenerate themselves and increased their strength and agility".
"the fuck you mean, Professor ?, look there's no way something like that has happen, i mean we saw them, they dead, there's no way people could revive...." Oleg said in disbelief.
"that's because they were adult, the revived ones were young, i estimated that their age limits to survive that were 30 based by how we seeing them".
"and they have on characteristic, their Red Colored Eyes".
".......now it makes sense" i said to myself.
"no wonder the group we killed back there came back, there were revived, .......it makes perfectly sense" Nevsky said.
"the fuck......, i thought my first tour is worse but the second one turns out to be an fucking freak show....., FUCK." Gregory said.
"so my suspicion were correct after all, oh god dad what have you done" said Roman.
"you knew something, ......what is it" i said to Roman.
".....well, the reason i had suspicions because...., i'm the son of the one who helped created the Bioweapon". Roman Said.
everyone is in shock over Roman answer, then Nevsky began to asked him.
"what do you know, Private, if you got something that explain this, then it would be best to talked right now" said Nevsky.
Roman then sat down, grabbed his Drinking Bottle, and began to tell his story.
"my father was an Geneticist in Volgograd State University, one of the smartest person i ever know, he's also happen to be patriotic, very loyal to Mother Russia. one day his works happen to caught the eyes of Kremlin, they were very interested with his work as Geneticist and decided to recruit him into the BW-1 Project, an Joint Chinese-Russian Top Secret Bioweapon Project aimed to produced an Ethnic Bioweapon"
"alright, so how do you know ?" i said to Roman about how he got his hands of The Project Information.
"well, it was an accidential to be exact, one day i ventured into my father's office and i found the BW-1 Project dossier in his desk and read it."
"and" Oleg said in anticipation.
"it revealed that the project has suffered multiple failures, due to the Current Technology at the time, and the Project are on verge to be shutdown for it's cost"
"so why it didn't ?" Zhukov asked Roman why.
"suddenly they had an Breakthrough, they tested it on an Human Subject and it managed to killed it's host without Endangering other ethnic group using the Vaccine, you know the one you guys injected with".
"i see, then why you become suspicious of the Bioweapon" Volkova asked Roman.
"well, After the Project Success, the Chief Scientist behind the project came to our house along with the Project staff and began to celebrated, by Midnight, everybody already gone home, only My father and the Chief Scientist there, in the couch".
"........one of them said something, isn't it ?, something disturbing ?" Gregory said to Roman.
".....yes, in his drunken slumber the Chief Scientist said this, "don't thank me, it was all thanks to that Black Coated Man, I only give him 100 Million Yuan and The Project is a success", that's when i began to suspect the Bioweapon".
everyone surprise by Roman Revelation.
"wait, you mean he's....., buying it from unknown man ?" I said to Roman.
"exactly, but i had no proof, all i had was the Chief Scientist Drunk Words, i can't just told my father about it, so i had no choice but to keep quiet about it. when i saw the news of the Uprising, i figured that they will used the Bioweapon there and so i decided to Volunteer To the Army to confirm my suspicion, and here i am.".
"......that fool, we need to bring this up to the Kremlin, they need to know what has happen here" said Zhukov.
"he's right, but unfortunately with our circumstances right now, we're basically trapped here" Nevsky said.
"no, there is a way" Captain Brezhnev said.
"do you know how we gonna get outta here ?" Nevsky asked the Captain about the way out.
"it may be dangerous, but it's our only way outta here" the Captain said
"alright, let's hear your idea is" Volkova said as they listen to his plan.
"Follow me" Brezhnev as he led us into an Platform.
(End of Chapter 5)
== Chapter 6 ==
The Captain Led us into an Old Abandoned Subway Car, being repaired by several survivors from Russian Engineer Troops, then Brezhnev explain his plan.
"we going to use this old train and make our way to The Battery, the Russian Fleet already sent men in there and are evacuating survivor as we speak" the Captain said.
"so..., we can use this old rundown train to escape ?, what are the odds ?" Gregory asked.
"there's a high chance that the Americans will appear on the subway tunnel or Station Platform like what you guys experienced on, still this is the only option, i'm afraid".
"alright, but what if The Battery is Compromised same as the Grand Central and the JFK Airport ?" said Zhukov.
"maybe, that why they decided to start an Deception Operation".
"Deception Operation ?" i said baffled.
"the fleet sent some men to Manhattan Cruise Terminal, to make them thinking that the Evacuation Area is in the Cruise Terminal, it may not fooled them completely, but still it reduced the possibility that The Battery is Attacked by them".
"we take that chance, so is it ready ?" Nevsky said.
"i just got the word from the Engineers that the train is ready to go, we can start preparing to go now" said Chernenko.
"good, alright them, prepared to move out" Brezhnev said.
soon, survivors began to move equipment and and wounded personnel into the train, we as well entered the train and sat.
"alright, Alex. Moment of truth" said Oleg.
"yeah, let's hope the Captain Plan is working" i said.
"hey, Roman. so what you gonna do when we get outta here alive ?" Oleg as Roman
"first, i'm going to tell my father about what happen, then just maybe tell the Kremlin how dangerous this Bioweapon is". Roman said.
"i don't know man, you may convinced our government but what about the chinese, they not just gonna believe it without proof" said Gregory.
"don't worry, we have Professor Bulganin with us, as long as he's alive both our government and the Chinese will believe us, don't you worry" i assured Gregory.
"true, still i know those Chinese, always an stubborn, i doubt they ever listen" Gregory said
'they believe it eventually, and besides it's their problem too" Oleg said.
"let's hope so" Gregory said.
in one moment, evey survivors already entered the train, then one of the Engineers shouts.
"alright, Comrades. enjoy the train ride" the Engineer said as he start the train.
the train worked, and soon it began to move toward the tunnel.
"it worked, alright !" Oleg said in excitement.
the train began it's journey, venturing the dark tunnel with the train light as the only light that shines the tunnel darkness.
during the train journey, we haven't encounted the Americans yet, but still we stay cautioned after what happen at the 59th street station, looking through the train windows for potential hostiles.
an while later, and suddenly the engineer suddenly stopped the train. as it turns out there's an subway train blocking the train only way.
"what's happening, why we stop ?" Captain Brezhnev said to the Enginner.
'there's an train right in front of us, sir, looks like it's abandoned" said the engineer.
The Captain lets out an big sighs and said this.
"there's been an change of plan, apparently an train is blocking our way so we have no choice but to take a walk there" the Captain said.
"shit, that was the last thing we need right now" said Nevsky.
we began to disembark from the train cautionely.
"alright, you're already prep right ?" Zhukov said.
"yes sir, all of us did" Gregory said.
"good, we need it so conserve your ammo, understood" Zhukov said.
"yes, sir".
the group began to approach the abandoned subway train.
"alright, professor. stay behind us, let's us know if something bothering you" said Captain Brezhnev
"sure thing, Captain. be careful" Professor Bulganin said.
"alright, Romanenko, you take point" Nevsky order me to become the Point man.
"yes, sir" i then entered the Train Compartment,
the train completely abandoned, possibly due to the EMP Attack that we caused two years before, as seen by some of the belongings here.
"do you see anything ?" Volkova ask.
"no Ma'am, no hostiles at present".
"good, Melnikov, you turn" Nevsky said to Oleg.
"alright" Oleg then enter the train Compartment.
as Oleg entered the Compartment, I scouting the place, point my Flashlight Equipped Rifle on front, but all i found is rats moving back and forth.
eventually others began to enter the compartment as i entered the Fifth one, so far nothing on sight.
before long Professor Bulganin suddenly warn Brezhnev.
"Captain, i think i heard footsteps behind us" said the professor.
"what !" the Captain is surprise.
"everyone take cover now, quietly" Nevsky said as he ordered us to hide.
an Group of the Americans appear behind the old subway train and began searching it. in that moment i began to hear their conversations.
"how the hell an train managed to get here, i thought the train can't move ?" said one young American Boy.
"by the looks of it, the engine still warm, which means it's been used recently" said an young man.
"you think it could be Russians ?" said an Young American Girl.
"it could be, ......hey there's another train here, let's check it out. Luis, Jessica, Arnold with me, we going to check the rest of this train, David take Michelle, Patrick, and Lucy and entered that abandoned train" said the young man.
"Roger" said the young boy.
the one group began to approach the train where we hiding.
"Zhukov, how many you see ?" said Nevsky Whispering
"eight, some of them approaching the train we just ride, the others going to check this one" said Zhukov while whispering.
"shit, i normally wait to ambushed them, but consider what the professor told us ambushing them will be a total suicide, if they entered the train, then we screwed" Nevsky Said in Quiet Voice.
"ssh, you hear something ?" said One Girl in the group.
"yeah, it looks like it came from there" one boy said as he point out the train where we hiding.
"shit, looks like not only they strength and agility increased, they sense of hearing is also increase, fuck" said Gregory in Quiet Voice.
but as they began to enter the train, luck was on our side, as an rat suddenly appear in front of them.
"huh, just an damn rat" said the boy.
they then leave the train and approach the old train to meet up with the rest of the group.
"looks like they left, what should we do ?" Volkova ask in whispering.
"let's stay here for a while, see if they left or not" said Nevsky.
the American Resistance Group began to gather.
"just a rat, Eric. there's nothing there" said the boy.
"oh yeah, then how about this" the young man shows an Hip Flask in his hand.
"oh shit, my hip flask" said one of the soldiers.
"they even had an carving on it in Russians, "To my Love, yours forever, from Olga", tell me how the hell we find an Russian Hip Flask in an Old NYC Subway Train" he said.
".....motherfucker, Lucy come with me for a second" the young boy said as he bring a Young Girl with him.
"shit" Oleg said.
"stay calm, we not made yet"
"oh, something tells me that we already made" Oleg said.
both of them entered the train.
"Lucy, tell me what you saw" the young man said.
"understood" she said.
the girl then closed her eyes, and suddenly her eyes became red, and she then said this.
"there's an Battalion of them, right here inside this train, 43 to be exact".
i can't believe it, not only she knew where we are, she even managed to count our numbers in exact match, to think that the Bioweapon did this
"incredible, it appears the red eyes of hers were not just merely a sign, it's an ability !" the Professor in awe of what he just witness while in low voice.
confirmed over our presence with his red eye, the young boy began to shout.
"You're right....., HEY, THERE'S AN WHOLE BUNCH OF RUSSIANS HERE !" he said in loud voice.
the rest of them began to entered the train and pointing their gun on us, and then their leader said this.
"come on out, we know you're here, we can make this easy for you" said the young man.
"shit, what do we do, Major ?" said Zhukov.
Nevsky began to think, and suddenly said this.
"cover me" said Nevsky.
Lieutenant began to stand up, pointing his rifle toward them, as well as Zhukov, Others including myself pointing our Rifles against them, as expected they too answered in kind. an Mexican Standoff is in place.
"it doesn't have to be this way, kid." said Nevsky.
"oh yeah, why should we, huh ?" the man said.
"from the way i see it, there's two outcome for this, one is when we going to shoot each other or you and your men can let us go" Nevsky said as he's trying to negotiate.
"can't do, pal. especially after what you're done with us" said the man.
"what do you mean ?" Nevsky asked.
"...hmm, do you usually deployed here ?" said the man.
"....No, i was assign here after completing my deployment in Syria few months back, why you asked ?" say Nevsky.
"....so you don't know about what the hell happen here ?" he said.
"no, all i know is that the So called "Resistance" is hindering the Joint Chinese-Russian Peacekeeping Mission in America, and the fact that we been under behalf by the United Nations to sustain peace an...."
"peacekeeping, peacekeeping, haha, haha, BULLSHIT, Peacekeeping" he said.
"THIS FUCKING "PEACEKEEPING MISSIONS' HAD BE NOTHING BUT OPPRESSING US, TORTURING US, AND KILLING US ALL AND DUMP US INTO AN PIT FOR TWO FUCKING YEARS, AND YOU HAD NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT THE HELL HAPPENING HERE !" he said in loud voice.
"....wait, just hear me out first".
"NO, WHEN YOU ON YOUR VACATION IN GOD KNOWS WHERE, YOU FRIENDS KILLED FAMILIES, FRIENDS, LOVERS, HUSBANDS, WIVES, MEN, WOMAN, AND CHILDREN IN THIS COUNTRY.".
"that's not what i meant...."
"I BET YOU MISS YOUR OLD JOB BACK IN THAT DESERT, SITTING UP THE SUN, DRINKING VODKA OR WHATEVER, AND EATING GOOD FOOD WEREEVER YOU WANT WHILE WE HERE STUCK EATING NOTHING BUT AN....."
"ENOUGH, ........what happen in Syria is no fucking picnic".
"i spent years keeping my soldiers alive and well, not just in Syria, but in Chechnya, Georgia, and Ukraine. for a while i actually did, that is until i lost all my men in that fucking ambush".
"Major...." Zhukov Said.
"if you don't want to believe me, fine, but let me be clear that these people had an family too, if you killed us, then you are just like the ones who comitted such atrocity" said Nevsky.
"......maybe, but who i am kidding, i mean we already an monsters, because of you, there's nothing you can do to changed that, like people says, (pointing his HK416 Assault Rifle to Nevsky) Fate is a bitch" he said.
"this is bad...." Oleg said.
realised the volatility of the situation, i suddenly had an idea. i immediately grabbed my grenade and then tossed it to the Americans.
the grenade then falls into the young man, then he realised.
"GRENADE, TAKE COVER" he said as he's along with his group take cover.
the grenade exploded, and with it our chance.
"OPEN FIRE" say Nevsky.
we then fired our Rifles into the Americans who already cover themselves.
"Killed those Ivan's sons of bitches" the young man said said.
"Cover, Cover" Nevsky as he approach Zhukov.
"Zhukov, I want suppresive fire on them, we need to get outta here before more of them show up".
"yes, sir. men suppressive fire !" Zhukov said.
"Romanenko, led our way outta here" Nevsky said to me.
"yes, sir. let's go Oleg"
"right back at you". Oleg said.
as i and Oleg led the group out of the train, the American Reinforcement began to appear.
"what took you so long. Kevin, use the M60 at them" the young man said.
"you got it" he then fired his M60 Machine Gun into the group.
"shit" Zhukov said.
"alright, fall back. the longer we stay, the more likely we're dead, let's go". Nevsky said as he's popping smokes.
Nevsky, Zhukov, and Gregory then began to flee after the smokes began thicker.
"after them" the young man ordered them to after them.
they managed to passed several compartment until Gregory's leg we're hit by bullet.
"gyahh, my leg" Gregory said painfully.
"are you alright, Sergeant ?" Nevsky said.
"damn, his wound is pretty bad" Zhukov said.
the Americans began to approach them.
"......go on without me" Gregory said.
"what, we can't do that, Sergeant" Zhukov said.
"you both knew i would slow you down, just let me here i hold off these bastards".
"but.." Nevsky said.
"GO, NOW" Gregory shouted.
".........."
"......sir"
"yes ?"
"..........it was an honor to served with you sir".
".........you too, soldier, take care".
both Nevsky and Zhukov flee.
Gregory began to stand up.
"........alright, you motherfucking freaks, i killed a lot of you (brandishing his MP-443 Grach Pistol)".
he then point at his pistol at them.
but before he even know it, an girl move fast into him and broke his arm by twisting it, dropping his pistol.
"ahhhhh....."
then in quick succesion, she slit his throat with her knife, he then dropped on the floor.
"let's go" the girl said.
the Americans then left behind Gregory's Body on the floor, as they chasing the Fleeing Russian Soldiers.
(End of Chapter 6)
== Chapter 7 ==
as we led the group through the tunnel, we're ran like crazy just to lose our pursuers that continuoslly firing at us, several men were hit by the bullets and collapsed right behind us.
"shit, Alexei, at this rate we going to end up being killed by them !" said Oleg.
"i know !, ......wait through here"
i spotted an opened steel door and instantly i led Oleg and Others through the steel door.
"through here !, quickly"
one by one, others began to enter the door, me and Oleg then suppressing fire on the Americans to make sure they get through safely.
once Major Nevsky and Lieutenant Zhukov enter, me and Oleg closed the steel door quickly, and we flee. we saved.... for now.
the corridor led us to topside, onto the street, once we make it to the top, an shine get through my eyes, revealing an quiet streets in the midst of Urban Jungle on Morning. by the looks of our surrounding and the fact that we can see the World Trade Center Building on our sight made it clear that we already in the Financial District, the last stretch before we arrived at our destination, The Battery.
"....looks like we just had to travel several blocks before we reach our destination, Comrades" said Captain Brezhnev.
the Captain decided to count the surviving soldiers and found that of the 43 soldiers we had originally, only 28 remain. when Oleg realised something.
"wait, where Sergeant ?, i though he's with you Major ?" Oleg ask.
"........he didn't make it" Nevsky said.
".......shit, i always like the bastard, god rest his soul" said Oleg.
"Gregory's death shook us hard, but not's the time for mourning, we still had to get outta here first" said Zhukov.
"he's right" Volkova said.
"well, then let's go then" Oleg said.
the group then make their way to The Battery, the streets were filled with Cars and some of our Vehicles who were abandoned, we also spotted the unfortunate Soldiers Corpses, lying on the streets.
"....this is far more worse than in Middle East" Captain Brezhnev said.
"damn right, Captain. the events in Chechnya and Middle East can't describe the Horror of this City" Major Nevsky said.
"...so, you lost you men in an Ambush in Syria ?" Said Brezhnev.
"yeah, but nothing compared to this one, this one is completely crazy, an Bioweapon who turn people into some sort of superhuman instead of killing them, ......this ain't right" said Nevsky.
"you and me both, Comrade" Brezhnev said.
as we arrived at the Trinity Church, we spotted something on the distance.
".....sir" Roman said.
"what is it ?" Zhukov said.
"i spotted something, over that bull statue, right over there" Roman said as he pointing at the Charging Bull Statue in distance.
"let me see (looking at his binoculars), ......it's one of ours !. Major, it's friendlies" said Zhukov.
we then get closer to the Charging Bull Statue, revealing an Defensive Positions in both street.
"who are you...., wait that's one of us !, hold fire" one of the soldiers said.
their leader approach us.
"you guys are the sight of the sore eyes, we were setting up position here to see wherever there's survivors coming to us or defend this position against the americans, i'm pretty sure that you guys went through hell try to survive" said the Soldier.
"we know, so it's the evacuation ready ?" Nevsky ask the Soldier.
"why don't you see it yourself, go right through here, Helicopters are already transporting Survivors as we speak" said the Soldier.
"alright, let's go, Comrades. we almost home free" said Nevsky.
we then ventured into The Battery, and the first thing i saw was the helicopters and Boats carrying survivors and wounded out of New York City.
a lot of Soldiers sit and lying on the ground just to get wait to get evacuated, there's also a lot of wounded soldiers being treated in Medical Tent.
"Dimitri, go help them out, something tells me that those medics need help for someone like you" Nevsky said.
"yes, sir" Dimitri said as he went to the Medical Tent.
we then meet up with whoever is in charge of the evacuation.
"are you in charge here ?" said Nevsky
"yeah, who i'm speaking with ?" said the Commander.
"Major Nevsky, me and my men are escorting an VIP for extraction, can you spare us an Helicopter ?"
"no can't do, sir. we're already 85% in completing the evacuation, you guys have to wait for your turn".
"you can't be serious, we escorting an Important person, he's right there" Zhukov said as he's pointing to Professor Bulganin.
"what, that old man, is he part of someone important ?".
"well, ....."
"if he's not, then i can't help you out, you have to wait like the rest of them"
"listen to me, this...."
suddenly Brezhnev interrupt Zhukov.
"stand back, my friend, let me handle it".
"Captain ?" Zhukov said.
Brezhnev then pat the commander shoulder and were led into an room.
'what...." the Commander said in surprise.
"c'mon, my friend, let's had an... "chat" in this room for a minute".
as both of them enter the room, there's was an sudden quiet, though i could have sworn that i heard someone getting an beating inside the room.
"......you know what, i'm glad Brezhnev is in our side" said Oleg in Relief.
after both of them finished their "chat", the commander in bruises, said this.
"a-a-alright, let me see what i can do, just wait".
"good, now that wasn't too hard, wasn't it" said the Captain.
as we're waiting, Nevsky said this.
"the hell you just do ?" said Nevsky in curiosity.
"let's just say that, ....it was my "negotiating tactic", that's all" said Brezhnev.
"it's indeed an negotiating tactic, alright" said Zhukov.
we then relax, waiting for our confirmation when Oleg approach me.
".....hey, may i say something"
"sure, what is it ?"
".......when i first joined the army, i thought is was fun, you know, see the world, admired by girls, went home with an hero's welcome march in Red Square...."
"but...."
".....getting attack by superhumans and getting killed by them without an chance to fight....., this wasn't how i imagined it"
"it never is, Oleg. never is".
"i just....., i missed my parents, my little brother, my friends, oh god how the hell i made such stupid choice"
".....hey, you don't know what's going to happen in future, and neither do i and my father, and i too missed my family. but not the time to despair, we almost home, Oleg."
".....i know, i'm just hoped there's no surprise came at us".
as we were talking, suddenly an Mortar hit the ground, killing several soldiers near it.
"the fuck" Oleg said.
"it's the Americans, they're attacking" said one of the soldier.
"....shit, prepared to battle men, we can't let the Americans overrun The Battery before the evacuation is complete" said Nevsky.
"shit, i knew it's too good to be true" said Oleg.
we grabbed our rifles and went to our defensive positions.
(End of Chapter 7)
== Chapter 8 ==
The Americans fire Mortars and Artillery toward The Battery, some of them hit one Helicopter which destroyed shortly afterward, others including us prepared to defend our position against the Americans.
as we found our positing on the sandbags, i check the other soldiers.
on my left, one soldier are clearly frightened, i can see his rifles shaking, it's clear that he cannot stop the shaking himself, on my right after Oleg, one soldier looking at an photo, possibly his family or lovers.
i then look at Oleg, who too afraid, i then said this to him
"no worry, Oleg. we can get through this, alright".
".......yeah"
the Barrage continue for several minutes before it finally stopped. and then smokes began to appear.
".....prepared yourself men, they comin in hard" said Nevsky.
an voice is heard from Loudspeaker.
"PEOPLE OF AMERICA, THE INVADERS ARE TRYING TO ESCAPE FROM THIS COUNTRY, LEAVE NO QUARTERS ON THOSE BASTARDS".
"WE GOING TO SHOW OUR WRATH FOR WHAT THEY DONE TO OUR NATION"
"here they come !" Zhukov said.
'DEATH TO THE INVADERS"
an horde of American Resistance fighter appear before the smokes.
"OPEN FIRE" Nevsky said.
we fired our weapons on them ,they too answered with kind.
the fighting is intense, the Americans came with everything they got, and soon enough casualty appears.
one by one Soldiers were killed or wounded by the Americans, Dimitri and other medics try they best to tend the wounded.
"keep firing, Comrades" said Brezhnev
"don't let up" Nevsky said.
one of the Americans used an RPG-7 and launched it straight into our position.
"RPG, TAKE COVER".
the rocket hit Brezhnev position.
"shit, Zhukov check Captain condition" Nevsky said
Zhukov check Brezhnev for his condition.
"....he's dead, Major"
"Fuck".
the fighting continues, and just when we thought we done for, the Americans suddenly falling back.
"the fuck, why they falling back ?" Oleg said.
".....They not retreating, they regrouping," Nevsky realised.
at that point, Volkova came to us and said this.
"the evacuation is complete, they already prepared an Helicopter for us, ....(gasp) Brezhnev".
"he's dead, Lieutenant. there's nothing we can do for him, alright men, prepared to get outta this damn place".
just then the Loudspeaker speaks again.
"RUSSIAN SOLDIERS, YOUR AGGRESSION TOWARD AMERICA WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED"
"oh shit, that's not good" Oleg said.
"INSTEAD OF RETURNING TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY, YOUR WILL DIE IN OURS"
just then, an mix of M1 Abrams, T-90, and T-14 Armata Tanks began to appear.
"CRUSH THOSE RUSSIANS MOTHERFUCKERS, MAKE SURE THEY ALL DEAD"
"TANKS !".
it's began clear that the fate is turning against us.
"if all of you want to live, run now !" Nevsky said.
we began to run toward the evacuation area, as Americans Tanks fired at us.
Tank Shells exploded near us, killing several soldiers.
"shit" Oleg said.
bullets flying passed us, as Americans firing their rifles toward us, killing more of the Soldiers.
"we almost there comrades, almost there" Zhukov said.
and then one of the bullets hit Oleg
when i looked at behind, he then fell to the ground.
as i looked at him, time seems stop.
(End of Chapter 8)
== Chapter 9 ==
i immediately ran toward Oleg, and began to carrying him in my shoulder.
"Oleg !, are you hurt ?"
"fuckers shot me, shit"
we then began to run from the pursuing americans, but as it turns out we run slowly due to the fact that i carrying an Wounded Oleg with me.
eventually we take cover, and i Put Oleg into the wall as i looked at his wound.
"shit, Oleg, ....your wound"
"is it bad ?"
"it's bad, we need Dimitri to fix your up"
"i don't think an Medic can patch me now right now, as these bastard kept firing at us"
The Americans began to firing our position.
Oleg began to think for a moment and then said this to me.
"there's no time, Alexei you need to get outta here".
"what, you know i can't leave you man"
"look, the way i see it the outcome is that we both died or one of us live to see other days.
"what...."
"......there's nothing you can do, man. get outta here"
"hey, i'm not gonna leave you like this"
"tell my family..., that i'm sorry"
"no way man, i can't...."
"GO NOW"
"........"
"don't worry about me, just go..."
"........"
"Oleg....., Thank you for be my best friend"
"......me too, man, now go"
with heavy heart i left Oleg behind, to catch up with others.
as the Americans drew closer, Oleg grabbed an Grenade on his bag.
"........damn, well at least i'm already hooking up with that girl from the bar"
Oleg pulled the grenade's pin.
"i'm sorry, Alex"
Oleg Closed his eyes, and the grenade exploded.
i looked at the distance, to see the explosion. i immediately knew what it meant.
"...........Oleg"
the Americans then fired at me, then i made a run for it.
i ran toward an Helicopter which about to depart when Professor Bulganin waved at me.
"Alexei !, over here".
i ran as fast as i could, and barely entered the helicopter.
"hah, almost lost you there Alexei".
"get us outta here" Nevsky said to the Pilot.
"alright" the Pilot said.
the Mil Mi-8 began to flying away from The Battery, and New York City.
"where's Melninko, by the way, i haven't seen him ?" Said the professor.
i then tell everyone about what happen to Oleg.
".....i'm sorry, Alexei, i know he was your best friend" the professor comforted me.
"......i know".
Nevsky began to approach me.
"son, i knew the pain of losing someone close to you, but his sacrifice was not in vain" said Nevsky.
"now that we had professor Bulganin with us, we can prove to the Kremlin the Bioweapon true nature and just maybe captured the one behind this, the one who give us this abomination" he added.
"he's right, Alexei." Roman said.
"........"
i decided to sit, looking at the helicopter window, to look at the New York City Skyline, once the city was called "the city that never sleeps", but when i looked at the city, it had an quiet atmosphere. far from it's nickname.
i began to think what fate awaits us, sure we survive. but what would happen next, that's the real question is. it's began clear to us that the Americans is winning, because of the Bioweapon.
as i thinking to myself, i spotted an missile heading toward us.
"shit, INCOMING MISSILES"
"WHAT" Nevsky said.
before we even knew it, the missile hit the helicopter.
"we're hit" said the pilot.
the helicopter began to lose control.
"hand on to something" Volkova said.
the helicopter then went toward Manhattan, as The Pilot do his best not to hit the building.
"shit, shit, shit" the pilot said.
the helicopter began to descend to the street.
"SHIT" Chernenko said.
next thing i knew, i was blacked out.
(End of Chapter 9)
== Chapter 10 ==
after a while, i began to regain consciousness. i then looked of my surrounding.
The Pilot, Nevsky, Zhukov, Volkova, Chernenko, Roman, and Professor Bulganin is dead.
i then realised that i'm the only survivor.
"......fuck"
i then break the helicopter door down, and reveal that the helicopter crashed into the street.
there were street sign there. "Bowery" it says.
i then felt an strong pain on my left leg, looks to me it's been injured.
but such thing didn't deter me to keep walking, i walked from the wreakcage and into the street.
the atmosphere is quiet, very quiet as i walked through the Bowery Street.
as i walked, i sensed it.
the sense of Bloodlust, again.
i looked at my surroundings and i saw the Americans pointing their rifles at me.
"Don't move" an young boy said.
i saw their faces, and i noticed that just as the professor says, they were quite young, teenagers to be exact. and their eyes were red colored, just like he's says.
my first thing crossed my mind was to fight them, but i lost my equipments after the crash, even my pistol and knife. basically i had nothing.
it was then that i thinking, this is the end for me. my life is over.
i walked once more, as one of them told me to stop.
"i said stop right where you're".
i didn't listen to him, i again walked.
"i said stop !"
he then fired his rifle into my right leg.
"ahhhh...."
i then collapsed.
i try to crawl my way, with little success.
it was then that one of them began to approach me.
she used her legs on my chest, as i looked at her.
i then recognized the girl.
it was the girl from Room 507, the one that stabbed Major Voronin.
"........"
then i remember, this was exactly like that dream.
the dream is a sign, for me.
(the girl then brandishing her M1911A1 Pistol)
i say no words, having accept my fate.
(the girl pointing her M1911A1 Pistol to Alexei)
and i closed my eyes.
(the girl cocks the Pistol Trigger)
Father, Mother. I'm sorry.
(Gunshot Heard).
