Welcome to Gaia! ::

Synopsis

A series of explosions all occurred at around the same time. The tanks shot and fired their rounds, and nearly instantaneously later tanks exploded and M113's exploded and shrapnel, dust, mud, and blood we're spewing all over the entire area.

The T72's and T90's each fired their shots, directly aimed towards the M113's, liked they were designed to do. With all the units out except for the drivers, the M113's exploded with little obstruction, sending a rain of shrapnel, gas, and steel hunks all over the Makonian ground unit's positions. The two drivers were instantly decimated, being turned into fine liquid sprays of red on the back of their seats, each taking direct hits from three 105mm tank shots, and then fractions of moments of a second later being pulverized into oblivion as the entire vehicles exploded and turned into their respective hunks of metal, raining down from above. Luckily for most the ground units, the M113's absorbed the blast.

The T72's were in a similar fate. The Mk. 153 rocket launchers were strong, and could pierce roughly 4 inches of solid steel. Being only 2 inches of shaped armor, the round tore through the steel and clay like there was nothing there at all. The shaped charges of plastic explosive inside the tank cut a small hole inside, and was only slightly visible, and less dramatic than a normal explosion. The cut inside the machine however, sprayed gas and hot, molten shrapnel inside the tanks, officially heating up the internals of the tank to 1000 degree for a period of three seconds. Only a small amount of escaping gas and ash left the tank; but the ash isn't what killed the crew inside. Within the tank, the recoil of the blast reverberated, and crushed the insides of the soldiers. Literally, all the organs inside the crew ruptured, and exploded, as their bones snapped into several pieces, turning into dust, and killing the crew inside.

The HumVEE's were exposed. Three of them detonated becuase of the grenades launched at them, sending glass and twisted hunks of steel in every direction. The people inside were flooded by instant flaming hot steel and glass, and their chest gaped and opened in holes which poured out blood. Their deaths were not instant; rather, they would suffocate and choke on their blood as their lungs furiously worked to gather more air into their open rib cages; but to not avail. The three remaining HumVEE were pelted with small arms firing, and passing straight through 1/4 inch thick steel doors, the units inside suffered the same fate as the jeep; gathering more holes then swiss cheese. The tires popped and ached, with the gunners toppling over themselves and coughing out pools of blood all over their chest; a single gunner took a bullet to the head, ripping a hole clean through his skull, and taking him out instantly.

The explosions of the M113 and bombs left only a few of the remaining recruits alive. The faits of the rest of the units were undetermined...

However, every tank except for a single T-90 stood still, fire belching from the massive holes in their side, and three HumVee's sat on fire. Of the crew before, only a single 4 man crew inside a T-90 survived. Crush and his marksmen however, were nowhere to be seen.

On the Makonian side, of the 16 original army soldiers, only six remain still alive; the others turned into dust and pink mist by the original explosions. These were Parker, Monte, Bob, Joe, Sarah, and Susan.



The M113's were gone. 166 ground units still remained on the island, and the anti-air base was only 500 yards away.

Mission Time




Kuro looks over at Billy who was on the ground laughing. He rushes over to him nearly dodging a sharpnel that was headed for him. "This is not the time to be laughing."

Adam Wong looked around his group, and could only see the remnants of charred grass, twisted metal, and red stains. His ears droned, with a quite hissing sound, and a small bit of blood pooled over his right eye from a piece of shrapnel that just grazed his head, peeling off a little bit of hair. He quickly glanced around, his heartbeat rising. "They're.... gone. They're all gone. They can't just disappear, how can they disappear like that? They must have gone somewhere, where are they?!" Adam glanced over a to a small red stain on the ground, in a circular position, thinly spread out about the blackened, burning grass. "Oh no... no no no no... there they are. That's where they went. Into little pieces of film quietly attached to the vegetation..." Adam had to stay strong; not for himself, but for his team. There was a single tank left, and only 11 units left in his group. Adam straightened his back and stopping the burning sensation from fully unleashing itself in his eyes; tears. He held back the water, eyes bloodshot.

"SOLDIERS! There is one Tank left; why do I see you squabbling over there! Take it out! Take it out!" Adam immediately dropped his gun, and reached for an Mk. 153 left strewn out around the ground.

I take it out or I mean shot at it

Billy sat on the ground before the tank because it had been blown up. He took the morphine and felt his leg start feeling better. He said "Lets take that dam tower out so we can get this done." billy stood up on both legs almost dropping but he had caught his balance.

Billy stood up and thought "Why the ******** not it go from better to better." Billy ran as fast as he physicly could. He finally caught up with Adam and asked "What the ******** are we doing this is crazy?" He cocked his XM8 and made sure it was in good condition.

Adam glanced behind himself as he quickly viewed his squad close behind, catching up with him. The feeling of his group still following him made him feel elated; at least they were still around, and everyone was still making progress. Their entire mission was almost suicide; sneak in and destroy a bunch of heavily armed areas with a couple of units, and somehow escape tanks, bombs, grenades, helicopters, and machine guns. How the hell such an idea was ever thought of he never knew. One thing was for sure however; if they wanted out, and they wanted help, they'd have to take the tower.

Throwing his body weight down, and sliding across one knee, Adam hoped that his swift actions and sliding would be too fast for the AA units to spot. Slinging up his massive rocket launcher, he popped another 83mm round inside, and peered the scope, resting his finger on the trigger.
