User:Infected32/Infected32's Story: Turning Tables

Kityak Mountains, Russia 10:00 AM,

“Hurry Sarah! I’m freezing down here!” was the probable response from the mouth of Lt.Shields. Nobody blamed him not even Lt. Haws. The 10 below temperature was frequent here but neither of the two had been there before. She made it to the top of the ice cliff and tossed him the ice axes. He started his ascent towards her. While Damian was climbing up Sarah was thinking of her friends in the OSS (Office of Secret Students). All of which were on separate Search and Destroy missions. But the OSS had paired them both up together and they both would’ve shot each other if possible. Damian made it up, but instead of giving her the ice axes he made the jump and climbed to the next cliff. He made it to the top of that one and smiled at her. She started to look angry so he tossed her the ice axes. She jumped but the ice axes just wouldn’t catch the ice and stay. She was slipping. Damian wasn’t there, he was on the next cliff. The right axe broke out of the ice and fell 5,000 feet to the bottom of the mountain. She held on to the left axe for as long as she could but it snapped in two and she was suspended in the air for a split second before something grabbed her hand. It was Damian’s hand. He pulled her up to the cliff. Neither said anything about what just happened. Damian already went through the weapons drop as he had a silenced M21 with a thermal sight in his hand. He slid it on to the rifle and said, “ There’s an ACR and a .USP 45 in the drop. I got everything else.” She mumbled, “Figures.” and took the guns. They turned their radios on and split up. A warehouse with a sign above it said in Russian, “Explosives: Do not smoke near this building.” She went in and took as much C4 as she could fit in her kit. She went to a Hangar that said, “ Fuel.” And had the exact same message as before. She put one charge on the biggest fuel tank she saw. She moved from hangar to hangar until she got down to the last charge. She was setting up the last charge when the hangar doors opened and she heard guns cock. Not just one, but at least thirty all at the same time. Sarah turned around and seeing the barrels of frosted over guns, put up her hands. The guys were all Russian ABS (Air Base Security). Every single man fell down at the same time as Damian said, “ One shot and uh...They tripped.”

Sarah finished setting the last charge and she said, “Okay they’re all set let’s go!” She clicked the detonator which was a bad idea. Every hangar exploded even the one she was eight feet in front of. She was launched into the air and she landed on the concrete runway. Damian ran by and yanked her to her feet. They were running to a plane on the east end of the runway. Damian got into the pilot’s seat and started the engines. He was going to fly the plane. Damian turned around, “Cover us I’ll get the plane on the merge for take off!” Sarah was using the ACR while Damian was pushing the throttle up slowly. They were at the edge of the runway when they took off. The Air Base was in flames. Damian commented on the sight, “They’ll be extra warm tonight.” They arrived back at base before anyone else. There sitting with the new member was General Denton. Denton looked up and said, “Here are the 2 I was just talking about Lt. Damian Shields and Lt. Sarah Haws the only two who are partners of the exact same rank.” The new member stood up and said, “ I’m Sgt. Celeste Patane but you can call me Nikki.” They all shook hands. Nikki went back to the barracks. General Denton motioned Damian and Sarah to sit down, “So I see the mission went well in Kityak?” Damian explained how Sarah almost fell to her death on one of the slopes and how she almost blew herself up. Sarah was embarrassed when he said this but they all managed to break up laughing. Sarah said, “I don’t want you guys telling anybody else in the OSS about this, okay?” They both nodded still laughing a bit. Denton said, “Get some rest you guys are going on another mission tomorrow. You know the one I’m talking about, involving our informant.” They went back to the barracks. Damian went to his bunk and Sarah went to her’s. Damian could hear Sarah and Nikki talking. On Damian’s side was the boy’s and on the other side was the girls, each separated by a metal door that no one had permission to open as there was no handle on either side. The motto for the new people in the barracks was, “East side boys and West side girls.” The rest of the OSS team came back to the barracks. Everyone was alive. Damian went up to the “Bed Board: Boys” He read it top to bottom. Trenton Haile, Mason Blanner, Daniel Hernandez, Kaleb Delisle, Michael Bell, and Damian Shields. Damian said hi to his closest friends Mike and Kaleb. The next morning came. Sarah and Damian were the only ones up when Denton gave their briefing. They were off when the others were waking up. Soon Damian and Sarah were over Afghanistan, the target area. They jumped out of the plane into the desert. “The contact’s name is Eleazar he’s supposed to be at the coordinates on the map.” Damian repeated when they landed on the ground. Out from some bushes came A man in Desert camouflage. Damian and Sarah both pointed their guns at the strange man. He said, “Do you want my information or not?” They put down their guns. “So you’re Eleazar?” Sarah asked.

The man nodded, “ I have bad news and no good news, all of your team is in terrible danger.” Damian and Sarah both looked at each other. Damian asked, “How?” Eleazar tried to say something but I sniper’s bullet hit him before he could say why. “Ambush! Left side! Left side!” Sarah shouted. Damian pointed to Eleazar, “ Sarah you take care of him I’ll deal with talking to Denton.” Sarah went right to work as bullets flew all around in every direction one of which hit Damian in the shoulder. Damian’s hand started to bleed profusely. He turned to Sarah, “Can I have some of that bandage there?” She handed it to him not knowing what it was for, not caring really. He wrapped his shoulder up with the bandage and tried to get a hold of Denton, “Sir! General Denton this is Lt. Shields we have been compromised Eleazar is down Sarah is trying to help him!” After 2 minutes of waiting and shooting back, the radio finally made a response, “Lt. Haws and Shields we are recalling all troops to the C130. The plane is heading to the shelter I’m already there waiting for everyone else you have 45 minutes to get to the designated extraction zone where the plane will land, you will have 30 seconds to get in before the plane will leave. Denton out.” Sarah looked at Damian and said, “Is he serious!?” Damian nodded, “Lets get out of here!” Sarah stopped and looked back at Eleazar, “What about him!?” Damian turned around, “He’s dead leave him!” They ran into heavy resistance at 45 yards from their past position. There was the landing area and the plane that was coming in. They weren’t there and the C130 was there. Waiting...

It took off. Sarah and Damian in the exact same area as before except this time they were safe in a deep cave that dropped down a whole. Sarah was in the corner trying to contact someone on the plane, “Hello? C130 of the OSSRS (Office of Secret Students Rescue Service) Is anyone hearing this message?” On her first try someone answered, “This is Lt. Colonel Haile how may we be of any assistance Lt. Haws?” She sighed a sigh of relief, “We were too late to get aboard and no one would answer the radio at the shelter.” All of a sudden in the background was the sound of an alarm blaring. Sarah asked, “What’s that?” Haile replied, “It’s the lock on alarm! A SAM has locked on to us! OH CRAP!” An explosion and the sounds of screaming was quickly cut off by Sarah who started crying. Damian stood up, “Something’s not right about that plane going down they would’ve entered friendly area 5 minutes after take off and it’s been 18 minutes past their take off. All plane’s take the exact same route and they never had that problem.” Sarah looked up at Damian who seemed to be right, “So you’re saying that someone personally took out the OSS?” Damian nodded, “And we may be the only two OSS members left. No matter how bad we hate each other we absolutely have to stop whoever did this. We are no longer Lt. Damian Shields,” Sarah stood up and interrupted, “And Lt. Sarah Haws.” Damian continued, “ We are just Damian and Sarah.” They pulled their gear together and quickly took off to where they had left Eleazar. He was still there, Alive. Damian said, “The C130 was shot down, we were too late to get on it. Was that what you were talking about?” Eleazar nodded. They took him back to the cave. Eleazar continued what he was saying before, “ You guys were in danger because of the SAM sites that were placed in your friendly zone. Denton must not of contacted the C130 in time or he didn’t believe me and never tried.” Damian piped in and said, “I’ll try to contact Denton.” After an hour Damian gave up. Eleazar pulled out a disc, “It has the info you need. Follow the coordinates.” Damian uploaded it on his laptop and printed out the coordinates. Eleazar was going to stay in Afghanistan. Sarah and Damian were using a boat to get to the coordinates. There it was an oil rig in the middle of the Atlantic. They boarded by ladder. They got to the control room without getting spotted. There was a computer that Damian started to hack, “ Oh my gosh! I don’t believe it.” Sarah looked. It was a picture of Denton and below was his plan to destroy the OSS. Sarah shook her head, “So it was Denton all along.” A voice behind them said, “Yup, it was me all the time.” They both turned around only to see Denton in his American uniform with Russian soldiers pointing their guns at the two. Denton said something in Russian and left. One of the Russian soldiers started to speak in English with a heavy Russian accent, “You two drop your weapons! Now!” They both dropped the assault rifles and kicked them forward. Damian glanced at the gun Sarah kept in her holster. Damian grabbed at it and fired killing every Russian soldier one by one. Sarah and Damian grabbed the assault rifles and followed after Denton. He got into a chopper and started to take off. While the two fired he got up in the air higher and higher.

Sarah stopped firing and ran to the Little Bird helicopter. She started the engine and Damian got into the chopper. Soon they were side by side with Denton’s helicopter. Damian fired three shots into the engine of his helicopter. Denton’s engine caught fire and he started to descend. Denton’s helicopter slammed into Sarah’s and they both fell out of the sky and on to the helicopter platform. Sarah woke up with blood seeping into her eyes. A huge gash deep into her forehead. Her left leg was injured to much to walk. The helicopter was on its side. There was smoke and fire on the pad so much she couldn’t see Damian anywhere. She saw a figure move in the smoke. She went up to the figure but it wasn’t him. It was Denton. He punched her. She fell to the ground and said, “Why destroy the OSS?” He replied, “You won’t know because I won’t tell you. But first of all you don’t know what it’s like to have fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters to cry out against you. Second of all there’s nothing you’ll understand.” Suddenly someone tackled Denton and started a fist fight. It was Damian. Scratches and bruises all over his face. He got the first four punches before they came back. Sarah could only lay there and watch. Soon Denton had Damian pinned up against the railing. Holding Damian from a hundred foot drop was that railing. Damian glanced at the injured Sarah who was watching. Denton asked, “Any last words?” Damian said, “If I’m going you’re coming too.” Damian kicked Denton in the leg as he pushed forward. They fell off the platform. Sarah was still looking in that direction when she started to fade out of consciousness. The sound of a helicopter above where she laid then she looked in front of her. It was a Blackhawk helicopter and someone wearing a vest with an American flag patch. Sarah’s vision blurred as someone got closer and bent down over her. The name she could read on the vest was Sgt. Chad Freeman...

Turning Tables 2
3 years ago... Sarah was lifted into the helicopter by this Chad. She could hear more and more voices echoing in her mind one saying, “Name? What’s your name?” She lost conscious there and woke up in a hospital. The room was white and the only other person there was Sgt. Chad Salaets. He asked, “How are you feeling?”. She replied, “I feel dizzy, what happened?” Chad said, “ I spotted the crash of your helicopter from a couple hundred yards from the oil rig it was on. We saved you. The doctor said you’ll be able to leave in a week. How would you like to join the ATU (Anti Terror Unit)?” She sharply replied, dizzy and drowsy,“When do I start?”. 3 years later... Saguaro firebase Day 1 9:54 AM “Jordan! Lt. Sheldahl!” Jordan turned around, “Yeah Captain?” Sarah looked at him with a fierce expression, “They need an engineer for Delta for today and you’re the guy I want over there. Make us look good. Okay?” Jordan nodded and went over to their part of the base. Sarah could hear him saying, “You guys must really not know what you’re doing, huh?” Chad came out of the office, “Sarah they want to see you.” Sarah walked in and said, “Yes Pallock?” Lt. Colonel Sam Pallock was his name and working with Denton was his game, “I pulled out a few names out of a hat and we need you and Jordan to go on a mission in a place called Kityak.” Sam showed Sarah the papers, “Kityak?” Sam nodded, “That’s where you and him are going.” Sarah could remember the mission in Kityak with the OSS. That was when Damian was alive but that was her past.

She found Jordan in the military hospital a couple minutes later. According to the doctor he had messed with one of the Delta members and ended up there with a bloody nose and a broken tooth. She pulled Jordan out of the hospital and to the helicopter that was going to Kityak. They arrived and went into the base that was in ruins of ice, snow, and metal. Jordan did seem surprised of the sight as Sarah wasn’t. “The target’s name is Steven Jenishovski or something like that.” Sarah said. They made it to a newly placed building. Sarah whispered, “He’s in there I bet.” Jordan placed the breaching charge on the door. It blew up and they both went in only to find that someone else had gotten them before they did. Sarah looked around at all the bodies tied sitting in a circle. A note was sitting in the middle of the room, “ Death comes quickly to those who see it, Sincerely yours Shadow.” Jordan was reading over Sarah’s shoulder, “ What does that mean?” A voice came out of no where and said, “It means this.” They both turned around and were blinded by a flashbang that threw them backwards into the wall. The voice said again, “Quickly doesn’t mean today but it does mean soon. I’m Shadow the ATU’s newest threat. Good luck killing me.” Sarah replied, “That’s what you think .” She jumped at Shadow but Shadow was able to flip her back to the ground with a loud thump. Shadow ran to an a waiting helicopter and took off. Jordan helped Sarah up and said, “We’ve got to go after him!” Sarah shook her head. They went back to base only to be sent on another mission. The target was Shadow. It was a full scale attack against one person. They arrived at a bombed out gulag in a black hawk helicopter. Sarah and her team got out while Chad stayed in the helicopter and got on the mini-gun. They got in fast and searched while Chad’s helicopter circled the area along with every other one that had a side mounted gun. Sarah and her team split up covering every place they could. Sarah was the first to find him. They got into a fist fight and Shadow had Sarah pinned. She was going to call for help but that was quickly stopped by Shadow who crushed the signal operator. Shadow looked down at her vest. And let her go. Shadow stepped away from her and said, “I remember you. Haws?” Sarah was confused. Shadow took his mask off. It wasn’t Shadow. It was Damian. Sarah was amazed. She looked at him and said, “So you’re alive and for three years what did you do?” Damian said, “ After I killed Denton I knew the Russian government would be coming for me so I swam to an island and was under a new name. And you?” Sarah said, “I became a captain with the ATU when the OSSI was closed down. Your friend saved me.” Damian smiled. They both fell down at the aftershock of an explosion. The place started to collapse around them. Damian shouted, “Come on! We’re going to be buried alive!” Sarah and Damian were desperately sprinting to a wall that had been blown out. On the other side was a helicopter that was hovering next to the hole. Chad was beckoning to them to hurry. Sarah jumped. Damian didn’t. She turned around he was running back into the area they had just left. Sarah shouted to him, “What are you doing!?” He turned around and said something that she couldn’t hear. The place was silent for a while until another bunker buster bomb hit the Gulag. Damian came back with Jordan and Tanner. They got into the helicopter and flew away before being caught in another explosion.

Back at base Sam and Damian were fighting. Damian walked in and Sam shouted, “I thought you were dead! Like you should be!” Damian replied cooly, “You and Denton are just the same. Cold blooded killers. Does the ATU know anything about your little airport massacre?” Sam’s eyes got wide and he whispered, “How’d you know?” Damian grinned, “I have an inside source. You don’t know about...” Damian sighed and shook his head, the grin faded. Sam looked closely at Damian, “You’re Shadow. I’ll put you under arrest, turn you in to the government.” Two hours later Sam put Damian into the prison area of the Alpha building. Sarah went up to the guard of the building and before he could ask she said, “Cpt. Sarah Haws ID number 100297.” The guard opened the door. She went in but the section she wanted to get in was on high security. The guard in front of the section door said no one from Alpha, Bravo, or Charlie could get into this section. Sarah pistol whipped the guard. She got in and tripped the alarm for the high security. She got Damian out and commandeered a helicopter with the help of Tanner Peterson and Chad Freeman. Sam’s voice came on the loud speaker, “We have a prisoner escaping with the help of three ATU agents! Take down the helicopter!” Chad smiled, “Our SAM sites won’t be able to lock on to a friendly helicopter.” The sounds of metallic pinging from bullets hit the helicopter. Sarah started to fire back. They were finally out of the area. Sarah sighed, “What airport massacre?” Damian looked out the helicopter window, “It was before I joined the OSS. I worked for the CIA. It was in late October...” FLASHBACK... Sam was only a recruit then from what the file said. Just a rat let out of prison a day before. My unit was sent in to get this guy named Kyle Collins. Kyle’s team of 5 was mowed down and Sam got away easy. He took part in it. 550 innocents dead at that airport. “You ready, Shields?” Audric said.. I nodded. The breach charge was set. The explosive went off. The intel was right. There was Kyle’s team. Audric was killed. He died a hero. Kyle turned around his gun following with the barrel spitting bullets out at Audric. I had already been shooting at Kyle and his team but he still wouldn’t go down. His team was dead and so was he. When I looked at his dead face, he had a sick twisted smile. Sam was running. The police got him again. He got off easy that he didn’t do anything. I know he did. PRESENT... Sarah was looking at Damian for a long time, “So Sam is a murderer?” Damian nodded. He knew what Sarah was thinking. Same as Denton. Chad asked, “Where are we going guys?” Tanner looked at Damian, “Where to Damian?” Damian said, “Afghanistan. I need to see somebody.” Chad changed direction. Damian and Sarah were both a sleep. Tanner smiled. He was out as soon as he touched the helicopter’s cold floor.

Chad landed, “Damian! We’re here!” Damian got out. He went up to the door. He knocked, “Eleazar! Open up!” Eleazar opened the door, “Damian, I see you came out of hiding since those three years, huh?” Damian didn’t like it when Eleazar joked, “Eleazar listen I need all the info you’ve got on Lt. Colonel Samuel Pallock.” Eleazar disappeared for a few seconds and came back, “ISI (Inside Source Intelligence) on Sam. Upload it to the Black Hawk’s computer screen so you can see what’s on the disc.” Damian nodded and said, “One more thing, I need my .357 back.” Eleazar gave him the gun and said something in arabic. Damian followed the instructions given by Eleazar. The screen came up with Sam’s info. Damian said, “I know everything about him already so why don’t you two get educated.” Chad took off to where they were going to next, Colorado. Damian twirled his gun. Sarah said, “Nothing we didn’t already know.” Tanner was looking at the file for a long time. Then he shook his head. They couldn’t tell what he was thinking. “It’s Snowing!” Chad said. Damian and Sarah looked out the window. There was a radio transmission that broke through the silent radio, “Remember we come AT U!” Sarah, Chad, and Tanner all looked at each other, “That’s the ATU motto. They’re here!” An explosion hit the helicopter. Chad said that they were hit and were going down. They all jumped except for Chad who stayed behind. The helicopter crashed on the other side of the mountains. Damian tried to radio in Chad but he wouldn’t answer. Soon he replied, “I’m okay but I’m getting out of here, good luck guys.” Damian saw the ATU set up to shoot them on site. They all started to fire before the ATU. There was a fire fight between them all. A blizzard blew in and the shooting stopped. Damian took this opportunity to retreat to a safer area. Sam’s team was following them. Sarah was using a thermal scope to shoot at the pursuers. Damian was driving the car and smashed into a gate. It was the missile defense base. Damian took his team in under the cover of the blizzard. They got into the empty control room where Jordan Sheldahl’s team was waiting for them. Damian took out Jordan’s team but ran out of ammo. Sarah was hitting Jordan but he fought unfairly. He flipped open his pocket knife, “Come on Sarah. I’ve gotten better, huh?” Damian punched Jordan who fell and hit the launch button for the missiles in their open silos. Jordan’s nose started to bleed, Sarah smiled and laughed, “Once again and by someone else in Delta!” Jordan said, “You’ve done it now Shadow.” An alarm sounded. Damian left Jordan there. They were getting out of Colorado. Those missiles were going to every state in America. Damian heard the sound of a small helicopter engine. Then he saw it. He couldn’t see who was the pilot but, he could see Tanner Peterson get out with Chad. Then he saw the pilot. Damian squinted, “Nikki? Is that you?” Nikki was in his sight now. Sarah and him both were amazed. She was alive. Nikki said, “Where to?”.
