Countering a Counter Attack

Carrizo threw a flash bang, the resulting crash of noise caused some ringing in his ears, even though he had his helmet. Carrizo ran out around the corner, and saw a bloody carcass draped across the .50 Cal. He hurled a grenade at the already stunned Valor men. The fragmentation device hitting one man in the head, then exploded. The man’s head was vaporized, several mean around him were filled with debri, and more still lost body parts. With only seven men left the resistance was quick and futile. Carrizo snapped off a few shots from his Gotha, sending one man to his grave. He watched Matthias who began spraying his huge KP21 MG into the group, sending three more men down. Sasha leapt onto two men, a burst of fire hitting one soldier and her blade landing inside the other ones head. The huge noise of a .50 rifle rang out as the last man’s head vaporized from the bullet. Carrizo walked forward towards the group of bodies. “FUCK, DEAD MAN TRIGGERS!” Every Valor man had been rigged with explosives, and one of them had managed to set them off, the massive explosion of seven blocks of C4 sent Sasha, Matthias and Carrizo flying.

Carrizo awoke to see a face he thought he would never see in his life, Hoi. “Did you miss me? Carrizo tried to swing at the man, but to no avail. Two Valor soldiers were standing on his arms. “Carrizo, you spared me once, I still remember it, but then you killed me. So I would say, we don’t owe each other a damn thing.” Carrizo shook his head, “You were dead.” Hoi nodded, “Almost dead, but thanks to a little Valor ingenuity, I managed to come back to life.” Hoi held up a med kit, “Raven should really look into these.” Hoi stepped off of Carrizo’s chest, looking over at Sasha, who was also being held down. “And you, you sliced my throat and stabbed my heart, all for a pair of boots?” Sasha spat at Hoi, “They were fucking new!” Hoi shot the girl in the gut, a piercing scream rang out.  Carrizo gritted his teeth, “You don’t know what your doing Hoi. You don’t understand the big picture!” Hoi pointed a finger at Carrizo, “NO, you don’t understand! You are a bastard and I’m gonna fucking kill you!” Hoi raised his pistol, aiming the thing at Carrizo’s head. Two shots rang out.

Lennon had watched in horror as his comrades had been sent flying by the explosions. He had stood, and was about to run to their aide when he saw a mass of Valor soldiers moving towards the position. The men quickly apprehended his comrades and held them. Lennon had situated himself in an ideal spot, from which he could view the proceedings. He silently removed the HM90E from his back, setting the AM50 aside, but still useful. He set the bipod up slowly and carefully, from his hide he couldn’t hear the proceedings, but he knew it was heated. Before he could even set up, the crazed Valor soldier shot Sasha in the gut, Lennon sped the process up, finally in position he watched. The Valor man was standing over Carrizo, a pistol ready to fire. Lennon lined the pistol up, taking careful aim. The man raised the pistol, slowly lowering it, and Lennon tracked it closely. When it came to rest ready to fire, Lennon did. The bullet knocked the gun flying, Lennon pulled the trigger a second time a hair of a second after the first shot. The second bullet slammed into the man on top of Matthias. The limber Icelander jumped up, throwing himself onto the crazy Valor soldier, slugging him in the skull. Lennon fired again, this bullet releasing Carrizo from one of his captors. Carrizo dealt with the other man, a quick gauntleted hand to the knee brought him down, and another to the head kept him down. Lennon then tracked his scope over to Sasha, the girl was bleeding bad, but Lennon could help in one respect, he put a bullet straight into the head of the man holding her down. Then Lennon felt a sharp crack in the back of his head.

Matthias felt someone lifting him into the air, and throwing him flying. Hoi was suddenly free, if dazed. But he scrambled to his feet and began running, fearing Carrizo’s wrath. Matthias felt fists smashing into his head, he fell to the ground, and sharp flashes of light seemed to be coming from the back of his head. He tried to get up, but another blow dropped him to the ground again. Suddenly the blows stopped, Matthias rolled over to see Carrizo practically mauling the Valor soldier. The poor man was literally being torn limb from limb as Carrizo ripped the soldier’s leg off.  Matthias felt a tap on his shoulder, and then felt someone fall over onto him. He looked down at Sasha’s bloodied face, “Fuck, Carrizo, stop ripping him to shreds and get a medic!” Carrizo dropped the arm he had in hand and looked over at Sasha, before the insult could leave his mouth he nodded. “Right.” He looked about for his helmet, grabbing the massive thing he slipped it on. Even through the solid steel Matthias could hear the screaming, “MEDIC!” Carrizo slammed a fist into the sandbag wall, tearing a hole in it, and knocking one section down. “I NEED THEM HERE NOW!” Carrizo sighed, even that was loud, “Fine, soon as possible.” Carrizo shook his head and walked over , “If a medic actually comes I’ll fuck a horse. We need to move her. Find Lennon, get him over here, get our guns too, were leaving.”

Matthias followed Carrizo, Gotha rifle at the ready. Behind him, Lennon was treading just as softly, F57 pistol raised, both his HM90E and his AM50 were strapped to his back. The Norwegian sniper swung his pistol to the left, swearing to himself that he had heard something; thankfully it was only a squirrel. With a deep sigh of relief he turned back to face the front. Ahead of them Carrizo was carrying Sasha with one arm, and holding his trusty F57 in the other. As they came up on the bridge, Carrizo saw a sight to behold. Valor soldiers were running away in droves. Raven technology had prevailed, automated turrets, and the advanced gun systems on their Humvees had forced the Valor soldiers into submission. Carrizo watched as a Humvee drove over to them, a medic jumped out, rushing towards the group. “Who needs fixed up?” Carrizo put Sasha down, laying her gently on the dirt road. The medic nodded, “Hold this,” He handed Carrizo a med kit, identical in every way to the one Hoi had held in his hands earlier. Carrizo watched as the medic removed the bullet, then took back the medic and sprayed the wound with a blue smoke. The wound healed within a matter of seconds, shocked Carrizo stared. The medic grinned, “Don’t worry sir, I see that expression on a lot of faces these days.” Sasha sat up, “What happened?” Carrizo smiled, “We killed the bastards.” She nodded, “And Hoi?” Carrizo shook his head, Sasha nodded, “Bastard deserves to die.” Carrizo nodded, Matthias nudged him, “Hey Carrizo, looks like we’re gonna have to find a horse seeing as how there is a medic, right there.”

Sasha said, “A horse?”
