Month: Error, Day: Error, Year: Error, Location: Unknown Home Theater. Universe: Remnant-616-Prime.

Team RWBY & JNPR were taken just after the dance & the attack on the CCT. Who are they made to react to their past & are just about to react to the future time now.

As Team RWBY & JNPR were about to watch Volume 2 Episode Field Trip they were made to watch something else to understand what they would see in the future.

The Teams were shown Earth's Map of the world & was shown how Earth humans have no aura or other powers. 

Then was shown Earth vehicles like SuperAircraft Carriers, Battleships, Destroyers, Frigates, Amphibious Assault Ships, Submarines, Tanks, Light Tanks, Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicles/AIFVs, Anti-Air Vehicles, PCVs, APCs, MEVs, Attack Helicopters, Transport Helicopters, Interceptor Fighter Jets, Multi-Role Jet Fighters, Close Air Support Planes, Bomber Planes, Transport Planes, And lastly Nikke Bots & Androids that are more human than robot.

Although the Nikke Bots & Androids were only told because they would be surprised if not. Now they would not be too surprised when they continue to react to the future again.

All of Sterling's soldiers & vehicles will have One of Two Sterling's special flags.

They are watching The User live & can talk to The User as he plays MODERN WARFARE II.

—————————————————————

    MODERN WARFARE II

    Several Months Later

A/N: Every time they talk, It's either quick or The User pauses the game.

"So that everyone knows it has been Several Months was after we killed an enemy general supplying terrorists." User said. [As everyone looks back at the screen, We continue.

Shepherd: Come in.

"This is General Shepherd, The General of the US Army, And a founder of Task Force 1 4 1, And before anyone questions anything, TF 1 4 1 & Shepherd don't exist." User explained.

Shepherd: Laswell.

"This is Kate Laswell a CIA spook; I believe she is a Station Chief." The User explained who Kate was.

"Hmm, What is this CIA & Station Chief?" Ruby asked.

"Well the CIA is a Central of Intelligence. They are tasked with Gathering, Processing, & Analyzing national security information from around the world." The User explained more.

"Intriguing," Blake said giving a short answer.

"A Station Chief is a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency official stationed in a foreign country." The User continues to explain.

"Ok, I believe we understand now," Ruby said.

Laswell: General Shepherd.

Shepherd: Boy, I know that look. Are we at war?

Laswell: You would be the first to know, Sir.

"That makes sense, If a general doesn't know of the war, How can he command his troops to fight," Pyrrha said.

Shepherd: Damn right I would. Talk to me.

"Do they have to use... Explicit language?" Weiss said.

"Sorta, I mean it gets the point across, So yeah." The User said but Weiss just deadpans at the response.

Laswell: We have a hit on Ghorbrani's second-in-command.

Shepherd: Hassan Zyani. Quds Force Major.

"Why would they go for the second-in-command?" Ruby asked.

"So they have nobody to lead them, The problem would be getting to him," Ren told Ruby, Ruby then nodded in understanding.

Laswell: He's taken the mantle for Iran.

Shepherd: Supplying terrorists.

Laswell: Money, Weapons, Intel.

"Three great assets during times of war," Blake said.

Shepherd: Well, He's ambitious.

Laswell: He's dangerous sir. He wants retaliation for the Ghorbrani strike. He's planning something.

Shepherd: We can't take him to Iran.

"Why not?" Yang asked.

"People there could see it as an attack on their country causing a war." The User explained.

Laswell: He's not in Iran, Sir. He's on the ground in Al Mazrah.

"Now where would that be?" Ren asked.

"Although not real, It is set in Western Asia." The User told them.

Shepherd: What the hell is he doing in Al Mazrah?

Laswell: There is only one way to find out, Sir.

"He seems like a great general, Acting quickly to stop an imposing threat," Jaune said.

"…" The User stayed silent.

Laswell: Who do we send?

"OK during this mission, We will focus on 2 people, Ghost & Soap." The User told them. 

Yang bursts out laughing with a few snickers here & there. "Why is he called Soap!?"

"He earned the nickname 'Soap' for cleaning house with remarkable speed & accuracy in room clearance techniques & urban warfare tactics." The User explained as he told everyone to simply quiet down.

"Well, That... is impressive," Ruby said.

"That I can agree." Nora agreed with Ruby.

The scene switches to a military base with Ghost slowly appearing on screen.

Shepherd: You're wheels up in five.

Ghost: Roger.

Shepherd: Marines are loading in now. You & the Sergeant are leading the way on this.

Ghost: The Sergeant?

Shepherd: Soap McTavish. [Soap walks up to Ghost.

Soap: Let's get ourselves a win, Yeah LT.?

"What kind of accent is that, Is he from some different place?" Weiss Asked.

"Yeah, He's Scottish from Scotland." The User explained to the two teams.

"What about this Ghost fella? He kind of has an accent like Velvet?" Said Blake.

"Ah yes, Ghost is British with that British accent, While Velvet has a somewhat Australian accent." The User said.

"What does that mean?" Ruby questioned.

"You see Australia was once ruled by Britain & with that soon came a different accent while speaking, And Australian is how Velvet sounds, Compared to Ghost's British." The User explained the differences.

"I kind of understand now," Ruby said.

Soap: Save ya a seat, Sir...

"Well, That's nice," Both Ruby & Nora said, Ruby then smiled. [The camera pans to Ghost's face.

Ghost: Fucking hell...

"But that wasn't." Ruby again said, Her smile quickly disappeared after Ghost's response.

"That's a cool mask, Though," Yang said with a smirk.

"It looks awesome!" Nora agreed with Yang.

Shepherd: Ghost- You copy?

Ghost: Yes sir.

Shepherd: Any issues?

Ghost: Negative, Sir. Out here.

"Well, What was his issue?" Weiss asked.

"Nothing really, They have an interesting friendship. The User answered Weiss. The User said that everyone questioned what type of friendship that is. [The game continues as the camera shows a screen with the combat zone.

Laswell: Airstrikes are hitting enemy positions bordering Al Mazrah. [The screen zooms into an angle where we see two main areas, But three buildings.

Laswell: Intel confirms a concentration of AQ fighters converging in the valley, we believe they're protecting something.

"Most likely the HVT," Blake said.

"Uh…" Ruby & Nora are confused.

"High-Value target & In this case it's Hassan. The User explained to Nora & Ruby.

"Right!" Ruby & Nora said.

Laswell: Surveillance indicates soldiers guarding three structures. [The screen zooms to two pop-ups of the first two buildings. As Laswell continues to speak, We zoom into building three.

Laswell: Major Hassan may be holed up inside. [Then screen the zooms to Ghost & Soap's mission profiles.

Laswell: Ghost & Soap will lead a Marine. [Special Operations unit 'The screen pans to Alpha team' to kill or capture Hassan, Tonight.

"You told me the Marines were best of the best, What's so special about these two that they lead them?" Weiss said, But Weiss looked confused as she was aware that Soap was only a Sergeant & Ghost a Leftenant. (If you know, you know.)

"Ghost & Soap are a part of Task Force 1 4 1." The User explained.

"And what's so special about this Task Force." Weiss asked.

"Task Force 1 4 1 is a multinational special operations unit, The Marines are the best of the best for the US, 1 4 1 takes the best of the best of the world." The User explained, With Team RWBY & JNPR shocked they looked quickly back at the TV. The screen then shows the Helo 2 drop points & route.

Laswell: One Helo will insert two teams at separate offset points bordering the target area. [We zoom back to buildings one & two.

Laswell: The Bravo team will sweep & clear buildings one & two.

The camera zooms to building three' Alpha Team takes building three.

The camera then zooms to a picture of Chorbrani & Hassan, With Hassan's wanted poster next to it.

Laswell: All shooters have execute authority but we want Hassan alive for interrogation.

"So it's an eliminate-all mission," Ren said it like a question but wasn't. [As the screen changes to a Helo landing Laswell keeps talking.

Laswell: And be advised. Major Hassan is AQ's lifeline. If he is there, They will die for him. Good Hunting...

"So it begins." Pyrrha & Blake said simultaneously.

Ghost: Bravo team offloads here, The alpha team stays in range. Both teams meet in the middle. Remember, We want Hassan alive, But this is capture or kill. [The Bravo team equips their NVGs & offloads, While Soap before getting off gives an Alpha member a fist bump.

Ghost: Keep up, Soap.

"Cool goggles, What are they?" Ruby said as Ruby stared at the NVGs wondering what they were.

"Night Vision Goggles Or NVGs." The User said.

"Wait what?" Blake questioned.

"You'll see." The User said.

      The camera changes to Soap's POV

      JOHN "SOAP" MCTAVISH -

     TF-141, MARSOC MARINES

     KILL OR CAPTURE

    AL-MAZRAH, U.R.A

     28 OCT 2022 0130

The User presses a button on the controller, And with that Soap pulls down his NVGs.

The screen illuminates in a green color.

"Now this is interesting," Jaune said.

"It's like Faunus night vision… Are we more advanced or less, Because last I checked Atlas doesn't have this." Blake looked fascinated.

"I have no idea at some points, We are better, In others we aren't. I don't even know if we are advanced anymore." Weiss said.

"Yup yup!" Ruby said excitedly.

Razor 1 Pilot: Razor-1, All Bravo deployed. [As Bravo walks through the field, They suddenly hear.

Razor 1 Pilot: All stations - Razor-1 is bracketed, We're getting lit!

"This doesn't seem good. Oh shit…" Pyrrha & Nora at each other as they said the same thing. Ruby looks on worried for them, Even though it is a game.

Razor 1 Pilot: Incoming - Flares! Flares! [A rocket was sent to the Helo but was redirected by the flares.

"WHOA WHAT WAS THAT!?" Ruby questioned the bright lights the helicopter shot out.

"Flares, A Pyrotechnic that produces a bright light or intense heat without an explosion. They are usually used to signal for a pickup, rescue, or redirecting rockets." The User explained

Bravo 7-3: Shit that was close!

"No kidding..." Jaune said.

Bravo 7-6: Second Missile! [The Helo tried to use its flares again but was too late as the rocket hit the tail rotor.

"I spoke too soon," Jaune said.

"You think?" Yang said as Yang deadpans at Jaune's response.

Razor 1 Pilot: Razor 1 going down! We're going down!

"OH NO! Those poor people!" Ruby said, Ruby looked on distraught as the Helo spun to the ground.

Ghost: Hold up! [All of Bravo stops in a line watching the Helo make an impact on the ground.

Ghost: Alpha what's your status? [Everyone watches on hearing some coughing.

"They're alive!" Ruby said in excitement & relief.

"They must be some tough people to survive that with no Aura," Ren said.

"That they are," Pyrrha said.

"I would agree, But there is a problem..." Blake said.

Ghost: Alpha how copy...?

Alpha 0-2: Bravo-Alpha is immobile, Multiple Critical!

"As I suspected, They may have survived but they did sustain a lot of injuries," Jaune said.

Alpha 0-2: Oh shit- We are taking effective!

Ghost: Alpha, We're moving to building 1. Hold Tight!

"How will that help!?" Ruby & Weiss said.

Soap: Ghost, We need to secure that crash site now.

"My thoughts exactly!" Weiss said.

Ghost: First, We clear for Hassan, Which takes the heat off Alpha. Then we secure that crash site. Clear?

"You happy with that answer?" Ren said with some sass in his voice.

"Wow, Renny never took you to be a sassy person!" Nora said with an excited smile. Weiss just looks at him & the screen with disbelief.

Soap: Roger that.

Ghost: Let's move. [As the Bravo team approaches the house.

Ghost: Force up to the house. [Bravo team stacks up on the doors until they hear.

AQ Soldier 2: Bring more ammo! Fast! Fast!

Winter: "Those terrorists are too focused on the crash site. Doing so leaves them open."

Jaune: "They should've posted a lookout somewhere that can see the building entrances while still in cover and out of sight to report on anything wrong, While they post guards inside & outside the doors all the while the people inside are firing upon the enemy, In doing so allows protection while they fire without having to worry about ambushes." Jaune explained. Everyone looked shocked as the 'Dolt' & 'Vomit boy' of Beacon just created a great plan within seconds.

AQ Soldier 1: Fire at the helicopter! They will send others to help them! [A Bravo soldier takes the hammer off the first guy & hands it to him.

"HAMMER!" Nora said loudly.

"Nora! Calm down." Ren said a bit loudly tho too loud.

AQ Soldier 1: Our brothers are on the way!

Ghost: Breacher up!

Bravo 7-3 says to himself  "Hammer Time" [The breacher smashes the hammer against the door busting it open while AQ is still firing at the site.

Ghost: Sweep through! [Soap kills the first soldier as three Bravo walk inside sights trained & killing the soldier inside. 

"They seem quite effective." Blake & Weiss said.

Bravo 7-2: First deck clear! Negative on Hassan.

Bravo 7-3: Copy that, the second deck's clear!

Ghost: Rog. [Soap and the rest of Bravo fire upon those outside of building 2 killing them. Soap kills the AQ soldiers with deadly precision.

"Whoa! I wonder who's better me or him!?" Ruby questioned herself.

Ghost: All Bravo, Move on to building two! [As they start to move, They can hear Alpha starting to talk again.

Alpha 0-2: All stations, Crash site is taking rocket fire from building two, Second deck!

Ghost: Alpha, Taking building two now, hold fast! [Soap jumps through the window, While an AQ soldier pops out the floor hatch startling everyone, But The User.

"Smart move," Jaune said, Jaune a little startled realizes the good idea.

Bravo 7-4 takes out the soldier while Soap walks into the hallway removing his NVGs & seeing a body collapse in front of him.

"Well we don't need to worry about him I guess," Yang said.

AQ Soldier 2: Fire the rockets! I will cover the door!

Bravo 7-3: They're up here.

AQ Soldier 1: Okay, Brother! Kill anyone who comes through! [7-3 slowly peaks into the door until he gets riddled by some bullets.

"Not good," Blake said.

"Seems he's dead," Weiss said. Yang looked at Ruby who was worried but looked back at the screen.

Bravo 7-3: I'm hit! [Soap throws in a flashbang, And the audience sees a bright light and ringing noise in the doorway come out.

Blake covered her ears from the sudden loud ringing. "Now what was that?!" Blake questioned a bit too loudly because of the ringing.

"Flashbang is used to temporarily blind and take out the hearing of an opponent, by letting out a bright flash and ringing for 5 seconds." The User explained.

"That is a smart tool, Being able to stop your opponent's vision & hearing can always be a game changer." Weiss & Pyrrha said together.

Soap quickly dispatches the AQ fighter and moves to check on 7-3.

Bravo 7-3: Agh... Fuck- There's one in that hallway.

"Hm, Prioritizing the mission over yourself you never see many of those types of people," Weiss said.

"There is a saying that I can connect to this." The User said.

"What would that be Mr. User?" Ruby asked.

"Stated by G.K Chesterton 'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, But because he loves what is behind him." The User quoted.

"He seems to be a wise man." Blake & Weiss said together growing just a bit closer as better friends.

"To me and others, He was." The User said.

Soap walks into the hallway taking out the AQ soldier but hears.

Hassan: The West must pay for a century of hostile acts against us. Together we will avenge the death of General Ghorbrani.

 "Looks like we got him," Weiss said as Weiss looked at the screen grinning.

Hassan: We will have revenge for the death of our General. [Soap walks into the room to see a lady pick up a gun and point it at him before shooting her.

"Why did he do that!?" Ruby asked.

"She picked up the weapon, Intending to shoot him, Either they drop her or lose a comrade." The User explained. Ruby & some of the others stared at the screen with disbelief, But some others understood.

Soap then turns his head to see a recording of Hassan.

"Are you serious?" Weiss looked at this with a frown.

"Hehe, The game tricked ya, Weiss?" Yang said with a teasing tone.

"Don't start with me, Yang," Weiss said with a bit of seriousness.

Soap shoots the recording.

Soap: Ghost, We're secure. Negative on Hassan.

Ghost: Roger. Time to hit the crash site. [As Soap walks through the door, He sees 7-3 right.

"HE'S ALRIGHT, BUT HOW!?" Ruby said.

"Seriously, First those helicopter things crashing, Then being shot but they are still alright!" Weiss said

"The helicopter part I can say I have no idea, But Little Rose & Ice Queen, 7-3 is still alive because of a plate." The User gave a small explanation.

"Plate?" Ruby Asked.

"Ah right, You don't have those. Well then Cute Rose, You see soldiers wear armor plates which are steel plates, Usually weighing 5-11 lbs depending on the size It is. Therefore stops us from getting killed but getting hit still hurts. The User Explained & teased Ruby. And Ruby blushed at the nickname, With Yang staring daggers at the TV knowing she couldn't do anything.

"So this is why you guys have such big vests," Weiss said.

"Precisely." The User said.

Soap: You good, mate?

Bravo 7-3: Yeah, The plate stopped hit. Are these the fuckers that hit Alpha?

"Again with the language," Weiss said but Ruby only sighed.

"If you saw your comrades get hit, killed, Or almost killed what would you do, Besides get sad or fight back?" The User asked.

"I- Fair enough. Weiss said.

Soap: Aye. Now we can secure the crash site.

Ghost: All Bravo, Circle up outside.

Soap: Ghost, AQ's workin' with some good gear.

"It would seem so if they were able to bring down those helicopters," Blake said as Ren nodded.

Ghost: Soap- We're moving to the crash site to help the wounded. Rest o' you hold here and cover us.

"Hopefully they're all alive." Ruby said, Ruby had some worriedness in her voice considering how long it had been since the crash.

Bravo 7-6: Rog.

Ghost: Alpha 0-2, Bravo 0-7. Building two is secure. We're coming to you.

Alpha: Alpha copies all.

Ghost: Expect contact. AQ's waitin' for us.

"That is a good assumption, As most people would go & help," Blake said.

Ghost: Soap, tighten up. [Ghost & Soap quickly got to the helo.

Ghost: Blue! Blue!

"Uh, What?" Yang being confused, Yang looked at the TV with confusion why say blue?

"Indicates friendlies." The User explained.

"Oh, Ok then." Yang said, Yang still looking confused looked for somebody who was the same.

Alpha 0-2: Damn good to see you guys.

"Where is everyone else.." Ruby said as she looked worried as only 2 people.

Alpha 0-2: We got 5 KIA, One wounded. It's just me and my gun & I'm low on ammo.

"Ahh! Only 2 are alive!?" Ruby said.

"A heavy loss but you should be able to replace them, Right?" Weiss said.

"You can't replace a soldier, instead you uphold their legacy. The User said.

"What do you mean you can't replace them? You have your version of AK's, right?" Weiss said.

"Negative, Although still in development we don't have full combat robots to replace soldiers." The User said.

"But how, Your world's army is so large," Weiss said

"Because we volunteer to join the army, Or when in war get drafted/conscripted." The User explained.

"Drafted?" Weiss questioned.

"Pretty much forced." The User said. Winter stayed silent after her answer.

Alpha 0-2: Help me move him.

Ghost: No time. They're here. Get your gun on that tree line. [All 3 soldiers turned & mounted on the windows waiting for the enemy.

"Hm, Not sure that is the best idea, that wounded is in front of an open door, As well on their right side. Jaune said.

Soap: Got movement.

Ghost: Engage! [All of the soldiers started firing.

Alpha 0-2: Shooters at the wall!

Soap: You called it, LT.!

"This does not appear to be a good situation, They are outnumbered and gunned down," Blake stated.

"Well there is a saying I like by Mark Twain, that would say otherwise." The User said.

"What would that be?" Blake asked.

"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog" The User quoted.

"What does that mean?" Blake asked again not completely understanding.

"You may be the biggest in a fight, But doesn't mean you are the strongest, nor will you last the longest." The User explained.

"He sounded like a wise man," Ren said.

"He was, Anyways let's continue." The Use said.

Alpha 0-2: RPG! [As the RPG hit the whole helicopter, everyone inside was a little dazed.

Alpha 0-2: Fuck man, FUCK!

"Again with the language," Weiss said a little down now because of the language. Weiss looked at the TV slightly irritated that these 'professionals' didn't act like it.

"Well swearing in this world is very common & I mean common." The User said.

"But why do it?" Weiss said.

"To express how we feel, and to get the point across without any measly arguing." The User explained.

Ghost: Get your gun up. [The 3 continue to shoot at the AQ soldiers just blindly charging in or taking out those in the smoke.

"Them charging in is the most foolish plan ever, what could they ever accomplish." Ren & Jaune said as others agreed. The User continued to look at the TV from where he was sweating from Ren & Jaune's statement remembering the German Stormtroopers and D-Day landings.

Ghost: They're getting close!

"This doesn't seem to be good," Ruby said.

Ghost: Watch the rear!

Soap: Threat eliminated.

"How is he so calm in a situation like this!?" Weiss said, After another 30 seconds the firing seemed to stop.

Soap: Are we clear?

Ghost: For now... Stay sharp on that tree line.

Alpha 0-2: They're still moving out there...

Blake: "Most likely the people from building three, or reserves."

Ghost: 7-6, Call for fire. I want close air on that tree line.

"Smart move, Knowing their allies are behind they can use air support to eliminate anything in front of them," Jaune said.

Bravo 7-6: Rog. Calling it in.

Ghost: Dig in lads. We're not done yet.

Bravo 7-6: 0-7, CAS is three minutes out!

Ghost: Roger that.

Ghost: Air support's inbound

Alpha: Hey- We got smoke at the tree line!

Soap: No visual...

Alpha 0-2: Yeah, I don't see shit...

Weiss was about the say something but decided not to because of the last conversation.

Ghost: Incoming!

Ghost: Take cover!

Alpha 0-2: They're launching grenades. [The 3 continued to shoot at the barely visible targets, Everyone continued to look back at the TV.

Alpha 0-2: 2-3's hit! Man Down!

Ghost: He's dead!

"Knew they should've moved him, but either way no time," Jaune said.

"Is there a reason they couldn't move him, From the looks of it they had a good amount of time." Blake asked.

"Baseline soldiers weigh 43 pounds with the standard gear not accounting for the other 15 pounds of stuff they carry like tools and food." The User said.

"I guess that makes sense. Blake said.

Ghost: Keep your gun in the fight! [Soap/The User then turns to kill AQ soldiers coming through the back entrance, With a few shots missing.

Weiss: "Hmph, You could have done better than that."

The User pauses with some of the others getting frustrated that he keeps pausing.

"At what? Killing people." The User said.

"So what it is a video game," Weiss said.

"People are people, Imagine the burden you would have to carry if you've killed a person." The User explained.

"Like that would ever happen," Weiss said.

"Don't worry you don't know but I do." The User said.

"Huh?" Weiss not completely hearing The User.

"Forget it." The User said.

The User unpauses the game and continues to play

Alpha 0-2: Only a few left!

Ghost: Finish 'em!

After 11 seconds...

Ghost: No movement!

After 3 seconds...

Ghost: You good, Soap?

Soap: I'm good.

Alpha 0-2: 2-3 got hit. He's gone...

Ghost: 7-2, I need you up here now.

Bravo 7-2: Rog. Moving.

Soap: Ghost we should fall back to the house.

Jaune: "Didn't Ghost just call for 7-2 to get with them?" Jaune asked. Jaune was ignored, But he just signed and continued to watch with Pyrrha patting his back.

Ghost: Negative -- We clear this position and push. If Hassan's still here, he's out ahead.

"That is true but risky as we don't know what else this army has," Jaune said.

Ghost: 7-6, patch us through to air support.

Bravo 7-6: Rog. Stand by...

Kilo 0-1: 7 Actual, Kilo 0-1, Fire is one mike out.

"Mike?" Ruby & Yang asked.

"Stands for 1 minute." The User quickly explained.

Ghost: Kilo 0-1, You're cleared hot on anything forward of our position. Danger close approved.

Kilo 0-1: Roger that.

Alpha 0-2: Shit-! What now?

Bravo 7-2: LT., We got armored vehicles incoming.

"This doesn't seem to be good," Ren said.

"It does not." Nora agreed.

Bravo 7-2: There's four of 'em

Ghost: Conserve your ammo. Let'em get close.

"Smart move," Weiss said.

Bravo 7-2: Here they come!

Ghost: Standby to engage!

After 4 seconds...

Ghost: Get ready...! [When he finished a shot rang out then...

Ghost: Cut 'em down!

Alpha 0-2: Hassan turned AQ into a fucking army...

"It seems so," Yang agreed with Alpha 0-2.

"This isn't good." Ruby looked worried.

"How can they get out of this!?" Nora asked.

"Well they said a minute out, and if those helicopters are as fast as Bullheads, they should be here any second now," Pyrrha noted.

As the 4 took cover they heard 0-1

Kilo 0-1: All Bravo, Kilo 0-1 is inbound hot, danger close.

Bravo 7-2: Air support on the station! [As he said that the ground erupted with gunfire and explosions taking out AQ

"YEAH! THEY'RE SAVED!" Ruby said with a cheer that was a bit loud with a few others joining in.

"WOW! SO MANY EXPLOSIONS!" Nora says in excitement.

"Nora please calm down." Ren said towards Nora.

Kilo 0-1: Engaging secondaries. [As Kilo 0-1 cleared out the area while the soldiers watched the show.

Bravo 7-6: Kilo 0-1, Good hits! Good hits!

"Hell yeah, They were!" Yang said with a yell.

Soap: Are we clear?

"From the sounds of it yes," Ren said.

Alpha 0-2: Fuckin' Hope so.

Ghost: All clear!

Weiss looking impressed at the attack helicopter responded, "With firepower like that no doubt!"

Bravo 7-6: Kilo 0-1, No movement in the area. Thanks for the assist.

Kilo 0-1: Roger that, 7-6… Kilo 0-1, going into a holding pattern.

"Uh?" Ruby is confused.

"It means he's going back to where he was & waiting if they need help," Weiss explained.

"Why can't he just fly over them?" Ruby asked. 

"Remember Razor-1?" The User said.

"R-right." Ruby said, Clearly remembering what happened at the start of the mission.

Ghost: 7-6, Task a bird for casualty evac.

Bravo 7-6: Rog'.

Ghost: Get yourselves sorted. Hassan is still the target.

"Still focused on the mission, But clearing helps those who are dead instead of leaving them behind," Weiss said, But Blake then looked on with respect to Ghost for caring about both.

Soap: Aye. Let's go get this fucker.

Ghost: Alpha 0-2, You're with us.

Alpha 0-2: Roger that, Lieutenant.

Ghost: Let's move out.

Alpha 0-2: Those fuckers used us as bait, didn't they?

Ghost: They're well-supplied & fighting smart. Thanks to Hassan.

"Smart? Yeah no, They just rushed in with what seemed to be no plan." Weiss said.

"Calm down Ice Princess it's a game." The User said.

"HEY!" Weiss said

Soap: Aye... Looks like you were right, LT.

Soap: You think Hassan's still here?

Ghost: Heli crash gave 'em an opening. Let's see if they took it.

"Most likely did, Thinking they all died would be very arrogant considering one did survive," Ren said & Jaune agreed with him. As he said that an A-10 Thunderbolt flew by after the buzz.

"WOAH WHAT IS THAT!?" Ruby asked.

"A-10 Thunderbolt, Or Warthog in other words." The User quickly explained. Ruby excitedly tried to calm down as it left.

"That was so cooool!" Ruby said excitedly. 

Bravo 7-3: Flyboys are still on station.

Ghost: Keep'em on standby. We're moving in.

Bravo 7-6: Rog!

Bravo 7-3: Visual on building 3. [As they slow down and crouch Soap/The User sees the laser.

"Wait a minute, What's that?" Weiss said, Right before she finished she heard a pitch then a... BANG!

A Bravo member got what seemed to be a headshot sniped.

Bravo 7-2: Fuck! Man down!

Jaune: "They got a visual on them, This isn't good."

Ghost: AQ sniper on the roof! Get down! [As he said Soap/The User counter-sniped him.

Ghost: Soap, hit the dirt!

Soap: Sniper down!

Ghost: More snipers on the roof, Take them out!… Who's hit?

Bravo 7-6: 7-5 is down!

Alpha 0-2: How the fuck are they seeing us?!

Wouldn't it be obvious that they have those... uh?" Yang asked what it was again.

"NVGs," The User said.

"Right, Thanks, NVGs too?" Yang said.

"The terrorists usually don't have high-grade equipment, But since Hassan is supplying them, They do now." The User said.

Bravo 7-6: AQ's got night vision! We're just sitting ducks out here.

Soap: Got another!

Ghost: Good shot. Soap, keep us covered, we're moving up! [As the rest crawl and Soap/The User snipes back they wonder how they can get inside considering it looks so well-guarded.

Soap: AQ's pressing hard-- If Hassan's not here, what the hell is?

"That is true, Truly a mystery," Jaune said.

"From my thoughts a lot of supplies or something they really shouldn't have." Weiss said.

Bravo 7-6: We're getting chewed up out here!

Alpha 0-2: We're not getting out of here without air support!

Ghost: 7-6! I want to fire on that building now!

"Not smart, The HVT could still be inside," Weiss said.

Soap: Ghost, We don't know if Hassan's in there!

Ghost: They're forcing our hand! 7-6, Hit that building, but don't level it.

"But that is smart, Enough to take out the outside targets, And injure but not kill the inside targets," Ren said.

Bravo 7-6: Kilo 0-1. Call for fire. Target is in the building ahead of us. Do not level the building.

Kilo 0-1: 7-6, Copy that, Making our run. [Right after that 0-1 shot round after round, With 3 rockets only wrecking the building a bit, but not leveling it.

Bravo 7-4: Yeah get some.

Ghost: That's a glorious sight.

Soap: Thank Christ for air support.

"Who?" Weiss asked.

"I'll just say, One of the many gods, Beliefs, And religions here." The User explained.

Alpha 0-2: Yeah, I Hope Hassan's still in one piece...

Ghost: Several pieces will do.

"Th-that's a little dark," Rudy said.

Ghost: Easier to find that way...

"It got worse." Nora & Pyrrh said. Some of them looked on with a little fright on their faces thinking, 'Who the hell says something like that so casually?'

Ghost: All Bravo, move up. I want this building locked down.

Ghost: Lead us in, Sergeant. [Before anyone said anything about why

Soap/The User is leading they remember this is a game, and why Soap got his name.

Ghost: Let's find Hassan, Dead or Alive. [Soap/The User slowly walked in, aiming at any open area until an AQ soldier walked around the door in front of Soap/The User pulled a grenade pin.

AQ Grenade Soldier: Die!

Everyone-The User: "WHAT IS HE DOING!?"

Bravo 7-6: Back up! [As Soap/The User backed up the soldier exploded.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM!?" Weiss asked.

"People here will die for what they love and sometimes before they die they hope to at least take some people with them." The User explained.

"T-they're insane," Weiss said.

"Congrats, You learned something new about this Earth god-forsaken world." The User said.

Bravo 7-3: Heading into the first deck.

"T-they just brush off the guy exploding!?" Ruby asked.

"We get used to it, Or we are trained to not react," The User explained.

Bravo 7-2: Moving in, first deck. [As Soap/The User walked into the kitchen he shot a dead body.

"Why would you shoot a dead body?" Weiss asked.

"When you go for the kill, Always make sure they are confirmed dead." The User explained. They now thought what did he mean by confirm?

Ghost: Check the bodies, We need a positive ID on Hassan. [They heard shots coming from upstairs and heard from 7-2.

Bravo 7-2: Hostile down.

Ghost: Does anyone have eyes on Hassan?

Soap: Negative on Hassan. [Soap/The User turned the corner to see an AQ soldier who seemed to be limping out of a door until Soap/The User proceeded to kill them.

Bravo 7-2: Negative, No eyes on the HVT.

Bravo 7-4: Negative. No visual on Hassan here.

Alpha 0-2: Alpha's interior. First deck. [They found nothing on the first deck & proceeded to move upstairs, But before reaching the stairs, Soap/The User saw one coming around the corner and gave him a second before shooting him.

Soap: One iced.

Alpha 0-2: Not him.

"Oh come on! It's obvious he's not here!" Weiss said a bit loudly.

"Gotta make sure, And also gotta clean the whole house." The User said

Ghost: Pushing, first deck. [As he said that everyone heard Hassan's voice.

"Well, looks like you were wrong Ice Queen," Yang said as Weiss snarled at Yang's response.

Bravo 7-6: Heading up to the second deck.

"Stacking up like that isn't a good idea, A lot of collateral could happen," Ren said.

The User paused the game and sighed considering all the times he had to pause, But they are new to this world and need some help learning, So he sucked it up.

"Well, considering they just got hit by rockets from the Apache & are currently dazed they can't react soon enough." The User explained a little annoyed 

Before Weiss could talk back to it, The User made another remark.

"Another reason is the armor, If one goes down the other has their back, And since our bullets can't pierce our armor without AP rounds, we usually do! Or something scuff happened." The User continues to explain.

Ruby: "What's an AP round?" Ruby asked.

"Armor Piercing. Little Red, Any other questions?" The User teased Ruby as he asked if there were any more questions. Blake raised her hand.

"What's up?" The User asked.

"How can you tell who's on who's side in a place like this?" Blake asked.

"Well, considering the scene I'm paused in; it should give you a clue. The User said.

"That flag?" Blake stated.

"Yup all personnel of that army, Wear the flag of the country they are a part of. Another way you can tell is the gun and clothing/gear." The User said.

"So I'm guessing everyone from the same army has the same of everything?" Blake said.

"Yes, Although these vary depending on your unit." The User said as The User unpaused the game. "Let's us continue." The User said.

Soap: Pushing to the second deck. [As the soldiers push upstairs Ghost and the others hear footsteps behind the door next to them.

"That doesn't sound good," Yang said.

As the door opens Ghost grabs the AQ soldier & pulls his pistol shooting him in the stomach and then face.

"I stand corrected," Yang stated.

"Quick & precise something a soldier should be good at," Weiss said.

Ghost: Got 2 x-rays… Not Hassan… Dump'em.

"Did they have to kill them?" Ruby said but clearly wondering why, Couldn't they just arrest them?

"Permission to shoot all targets, if you dump the guy then no problem from them in the future. The User explained.

"Yeah but still," Ruby said but Ruby was still not convinced.

"Then when we let them serve their time, they get free & go back to this." The Us we continued to explain, But now Ruby was finally convinced.

The Ghost and Soap listen to Hassan's recording.

Ghost: Hassan's everywhere...

Soap: Everywhere but here. [Ghost & Soap leave the room stacking with 7-6. As they walk through the door an AQ soldier pops out a door but gets wasted immediately. And as they continue through another soldier from a little hole in the floor starts shooting. Soap/The User wastes them with no hesitation.

Soap/The User: Heads up lads, Sneaky little gits are everywhere./I always hate campers. [As they enter what was seemingly the last room, They spot a soldier peaking behind a door and an injured soldier on the floor who was quickly killed by Soap/The User.

"You really like this game, Don't you?" Weiss asked

When she said that The User paused the game & looked back. "What makes you say that?" The User smirking replied.

"You are very quick to react, And you seem to know where they are," Weiss stated.

"Looks like somebody was paying attention." The User said & Weiss looked proud when he said that.

"Remember when I said I played in professional esports?" The User continued to say.

"This is the game isn't it?" Nora asked.

"Bingo. Right on the dot." The User said with a little gun motion. "Although not the campaign, But the multiplayer." The User continued to say. The User looked back unpausing on what felt like the 100th time.

Ghost: He was here, This is a bloody ops center… Poke around, Soap. [Soap/The User walked to the clothing on the chair, which had a white circle near it.

Soap: Look- Hassan's uniform… So he was here.

Ghost: Lost him when we secured the crash site.

Soap: Are you sayin' we shouldn't have helped

Ghost: Choices have consequences...

Bravo 7-6: All Bravo- We got movement out here.

"Many people survived that... Apache, Right?" Blake asked.

"Yup." The User stated.

Ghost: On the way... All Bravo, Circle up outside.

Soap: If Hassan's gone, what the hell are they still protecting?

"Seems my hunch might be correct," Weiss said.

"That's a first right snow-white," Yang said.

"Not now, Yang," Ruby said as Yang looking unamused shrugs & just starts relaxing near her.

Ghost: Let's find out. [As all of Bravo walks outside, They see a roll-up door open.

Ghost: What we got?

Bravo 7-6: A warehouse. Roll up the door open. Head somethin' inside...

Ghost: Copy. Let's clear it. [As they all enter they are suddenly blinded.

"What in the!?" Blake said being blinded.

"Agh too bright!" Ruby said as well as Nora. As they were shouting about how bright it was, Soap/The User removed the NVGs hearing an AQ soldier.

AQ Soldier 4: Die in shame...!

Soap: Contact. [When they all recovered from the blinding light they saw two Bravo members get smoked. They then saw a very bulky man run to Soap while getting shot until Soap put a few more rounds into him.

"W-what the!?" Ruby said.

"How can he take so many rounds I thought you guys didn't have Aura!?" Yang said.

"We don't, He just has a LOT of armor on." The User explains.

"Considering his size that must've been really heavy," Weiss said as they cleared out the warehouse, They heard Ghost speak.

"Talk about a surprise party," Yang said as RWB_ Just groaned at Yang's attempt to make a joke.

Ghost: Are we clear?

Soap: All clear.

Ghost: Search it. Let's find what they were hiding... [As he said Soap/The User went to a storage container, making everyone question why a storage container.

Bravo 7-3: AL Qatala's got some serious shit in here.

Ghost: This warehouse wasn't on the intel.

"Like that isn't suspicious," Weiss said.

Soap: What the fuck is this?

Ghost: It's all in English.

"Is that a bad thing?" Jaune said.

"Al Qatala and other foreign terror groups don't write stuff in English, mostly their own/foreign language." The User explained.

A/N: I'm taking a shot out in the dark here, I don't even know if they do.

Soap flipped a switch & they heard a loud whirr, They exited the container and saw...

Soap: Steamin' Jesus.

Ghost: Ballistic missiles.

"Seems I was right," Weiss stated. "Considering it is a missile it already is destructive enough, But what's the difference with a ballistic one?" Weiss said.

"The difference is a Ballistic missile destroyed an entire military arms deal, which consisted of 100 vehicles with tons of personnel." The User explained that the two teams looked in shock that a weapon like that was stored in a terrorist's hideout.

Soap: It's a mobile launcher.

Bravo 7-6: They'll go 1000 miles.

Ghost: At least.

"That far!?" Ruby questioned.

"How did they get this!?" Weiss said.

Soap: How the hell did Iran get their hands on this?

Ghost: 7-6, Get us through to Laswell.

Bravo 7-6: Roger, Stand by...

Bravo 7-6: Bravo 7-6, Charlie to Watcher-1

Laswell: This is Watcher-1, Send traffic.

Ghost: Laswell, this is Ghost, we got something.

Laswell: Tell me you found Hassan...

Soap: Ghost, Take a look at this... [Soap moved revealing an American flag which shocked everyone, But The User.

"I-isn't that your country's flag.!?" Ruby asked.

"Are you people insane? Why would you give them this, then attack them too!?" Yang & Blake said.

"We didn't." The User said.

"Don't play dumb! This is obviously your country's missile." Weiss said.

"Didn't say we gave it to them on purpose… We fought a war against terrorism, Not with it!" The User said a bit angrily. Everyone now wondered about what he meant by fighting a war against terrorism.

"Those missiles were stolen from an ambush on a convoy." The User said. Everyone looked shocked that the most powerful military lost powerful weapons in an ambush.

"Luckily this isn't real and is a game." The User said.

"R-right..." Blake, Yang, And Jaune said.

Laswell: Ghost, Do you have Hassan?

Ghost: Negative. We found a weapons cache. Hassan's got missiles... They're American.

Shepherd: 0-7-- This is Gold Eagle Actual, repeat that last...

Ghost: I say again- Hassan has missiles.
