The Tundra Wars – Chapter II

Chapter II

It was around 2 am in the morning and Link, K310, and Clear were making their way to the landing pad where they would be airlifted to the RPND Elmikey. Suddenly they heard a distant crash. “What was that?,” said K310. They all looked in the direction of the noise. Clear shrugged and continued walking on. The others soon followed.

Only minutes later they found themselves shoved up against the wall. About 20 soldiers were rushing down the halls. There was another crash, not a crash but an explosion, and much closer this time. Gunfire broke out. BB was making a raid on the headquarters.

The supreme commander incharge of the tundra forces was shouting orders, “Bleu, they’ve made it through one of the walls. Flank around the corner and take them out,”. Clear nudged Link to look up. M4 in her hand, Bleu Missy fired, nailing 3 BB soldiers in the chest. That was it for Link, he ran and grabbed a gun and went to help. K310 scowled, “Were supposed to meet Furbur, it was a direct order,”. Clear took another look up at Bleu. “I think Furbur would want us to help defend against BB,” he said, and then fetched a gun and went to join the battle.

The newly established  RPF  base in tundra was not very strong yet. The old one had been destroyed by WW in a previous war, and RPF had had little time to build a new one. As a result if BB could successfully get into the surrounding areas of the fort all they had to do was use explosives to get through a few walls and they would be inside the fort. That is just what thay had done.

“Defend the opening,” shouted Dragon. Link and Bleu were dangerously placed on either side of the opening. Clear crawled into position and began firing. “LINK,” shouted Clear. There was a BB soldier taking aim at Link. Clear had to act fast. He slid across the floor and kicked Link’s legs out from under him. Then daringly he popped out for a mere second and shot the BB soldier in the chest.

Then from around the corner came Furbur. Just as he arrived a grenade began flying in. “MOVE!,” he shouted. Clear and Link half crawled to the other end of the room. Furbur and Bleu ran down the rubble covered floors and got down as the grenade hit the ground.

Furbur looked up. Smoke and dust filled the air. “Clear, Link!,” he shouted. “Were here,” came the voice that Furbur recognized to be Clear’s. Gunshots were still being fired and they could still hear Dragon shouting, but it all seemed miles away as Furbur realized that Bleu was unconscious. “Shit,” he yelled. “Alright, you two crawl over here, we have to make it to the helicopter.,”. They made it over to Furbur, swiftly. “Alright, she has to go to the infirmary, that’s on the way to the landing pad. As soon as this dust clears were open targets we have to move fast. Let’s GO,”.

They moved swiftly. The infirmary was near the center of the building. BB forces hadn’t gotten that far yet, but as the smoke and dust cleared The three navymen saw that BB meant business. The infirmary was crowded with the wounded. Furbur dropped Bleu on an empty bed and motioned to the nurse to make sure she was alright. But they couldn’t stick  around.

“Sir, would this really be the best time to leave?,” asked Clear. Furbur hesitated, “Clear… I think the current situation should show us all that tundra needs stability. This operation should ensure it,”. The three of them boarded the helicopter. Then it dawned on all of them. Link spoke “Shit! Where is K310?,”. But it was to late, they were already in the air.
