12th May 1995
"Stay hidden and wait for my signal," a man said into the communication device on his hand. His face was hidden by the darkness. It was night and the new moon was in the sky. He pulled up the binoculars around his neck and looked ahead. He saw 3 vehicles ahead. They were moving in order and formation. He took his com unit closer and spoke.
"ETA 2 minutes get ready." After saying that, he put the com down and walked to his right. There was a large green crate. He leaned over and opened it, taking out what was inside, an AT rocket launcher. Placing it on his shoulder, he crouched down, set up the com unit and positioned himself. Looking through the scope of the AT launcher, he saw the targets coming closer.
"On three. One. Two. Three!" He said through the com device and fired his missile. The missile flew directly at the one in front of the convoy. At the same time 3 more missiles were fired from different locations. One was from his left, another from his right, and the last from the mountain directly across from him.

"Congratulations John, I have to admit I didn't expect you to have a child so soon." Said the driver looking out of the rearview mirror. "Thanks man, yeah it wasn't really planned though. But I can't take back what I did, right." Said John sitting in the back. His words got a laugh from every person in the car.
John was a soldier with the rank of corporal. He was 32 years old and had been in the Army for 7 years. Normally he would be at a base in the city of Hargat, which was safer because of its proximity to the capital. But in order to get promoted he has to serve at the border base. That's why he was in this deserted place.
"We..." John was about to say something when he noticed several sources of light. "WATCH OUT!" Said the man sitting next to him. The car in front of them spotted the missiles and tried to swerve, but it was too late. The rocket made contact with the car in front of them blowing it up.
"DODGE IT LEO DODGE IT" Said the person right next to driver. Driver, Leo hearing shifted the gear and pushed the pedal to end. The car started speeding up and suddenly one of the rockets blowed up the car behind them. Leo saw it all from the mirror. "LEFT LEO LEFT MOVE!" Said John seeing the missile coming from their right. Leo hearing it moved to left and dodged the rocket but there was another one coming towards them. Leo pushing the brakes tried his best to stop. The rocket got exploded right in front of them overturning the car.
After the car rolled over a few times it stopped at the side of the road. John waking up with pain he pulled out his gun and readied himself before checking on his friends. Leo wasn't breathing, Matt, the guy on his right had a broken leg and the Xavier in front passenger seat had his upper body outside while his lower body was inside. It was gruesome sight and John wasn't witnessed anything like that. Holding his urge to puke he said. "Matt get ready." Slowly adjusted his position in upside down car.
"I can't fucking move man my leg is stuck." Responded Matt. Looking over John saw his right leg stucked right between his and the front seat. Reaching and pulling out his pistol, John gave it to him. "Cover me." He said and reached Matt's stuck leg. Slowly pulling out he successfully rescued Matt. Helping him and opening the door they slowly got out with pistol in their hands.
John was watching his right and Matt was watching the left. After getting out of the car they walked towards the forest right next to the road. With Matt leaning on his shoulder they slowly moved.
After a minute of walking they reached to the forest.
"If we c-- igh get pass this forest, we are safe" said Matt.
Yes John knew this too because once they get pass this forest they will be in front of the Chalin, which is their base. But there was a big problem. The forest was big and even if they moved without stopping, it will still take half an hour. Plus this forest still had bears and such. With the ambushers adding up to that it will be a long journey.
Getting himself mentally ready John scanned his surrounding and began pacing up. While they were moving a group of 10 people gathered right outside the forest. Armed with AK-47 rifles waiting for something.
"Try bringing them alive." Said a voice coming from their com device. After hearing they split up to 5 group with 2 person in each and made their way inside the forest. Founding the traces left, they start tracking them down. After a few minutes of walking and tracking they see two person walking. One of them leaning to other guy. The person seeing them reported with com device and gave location to his friends.
John was walking with Matt and he could sense Matt being so tired. It was just a few minutes but losing so many friends at one was mentally tiring too. "John just leave me down here and run to the base. You can come back to get me after reaching to the base." Said Matt exhaustion could be heard from his voice. "I don't intend to get your corpse Matt shut up and keep walking." Was the ansver John gave.
Unbeknownst to them the circle of the 10 armed person was closing up on them. With each minute they got closer and then first contact happened. John walking while scanning his surrounding he saw the bushes move in front of him. Aiming at the bush he quickly fired and saw a man fell forward. Matt hearing the gunshot raised his pistol and looked around. Then another gunshot was heard. Matt was shot on his back and John's arm that holding Matt also got hit.
Feeling the pain John pulled back his arm in reflex making Matt losing his balance and falling down. John then tried turning around and firing back but got shot second time and this time was his right hand that holding the pistol. Suddenly getting shot on his arm made John lose his grip on the pistol making it fall. Then 2 man, right behind them walked out from the trees they hid followed by another 2 coming out from their left and right finally making up to the 9 people. One of them walked towards their friend who got shot down at first.
Checking his pulse he shaked his head right and left indicating that he was dead. John watched it as they got closer to him. "What do you want?" John asked looking towards the guy who walkes up to him. The guy didn't responded but gave him a grunt before hitting his face with the back of his rifle. Then he talked to his com device "We captured them alive sir."
"Good. Bring them to the base and don't leave evidence behind." Said the man on the other side of com device. Hearing him the guy signaled them to take two soldiers and
their friend. Then walked towards a tree with one man following him behind carrying a backpack. Reaching to the tree, man with backpack crouched down opened the backpack and pulled out a device. There was a words on it and a timer. Timer was set to 02:00 and the words was "C4 Explosive". Putting down the explosive he pressed a button and the timer started counting down while they started moving.
When the timer hit 0 there was a small explosion. Then a fire started from the chems released with bomb. While all this was happening in the base Chalin there was movement. It was because of the gunshots and explosions they heard. Armored vehicles started going out of the base towards the source of sound.

Inside a tent that could accommodate 5 people there was a guy sitting on a chair looking at something on table in front of him. There was a map of country named Crow Empire.
He got a red pen and marked on a certain road located near the "Forest Lura".
Then a voice heard from the entrance of the tent. "Sir, others have arrived." hearing it he got up and slowly walked towards the entrance making his way out. Once he was outside he saw two man lying on the ground one of them had bandages on his waist while the other had on both arms. "Wake them up." He said.
One of the man moved brought a bucket filled with water and splashed on their face waking them up. John and Matt woke up with cold water hitting their face. Not realizing where he was, John tried to get up but a kick landed on his stomach cutting his breath off. Matt on the other hand understood the situation and kept laying down but scanning his surrounding with eyes. He count 30 man and woman with rifles in their hands while one of them had machine gun with bullets wrapped from his shoulder to his waist.
John looked towards the man standing in front of them with hands behind his back. And he was shocked. He had black short hair and handsome face. But that wasn't the cause of his shock but the guy standing in front of him was someone he had wronged. When he was having problem with his wife as a corporal he had 'tortured' some newbies. And the owner of this handsome face was one of them. Victor Drakon. Victor crouched down and smirked at him.
"Who do we have here." He said with evil smile. "Victor, what do you mean by this?!" John yelled at him finding himself in the hands of someone he stepped on. "Sorry corporal, you weren't my target but i accept it as a bonus." Victor said. Getting up and walking towards his tent before saying "Make them spit out every information they have." Hearing him say this armed man grabbed them and pulled towards another tent while they were struggling. 'We are fucked.' was the last thought of Matt before forced to get inside of a tent filled with equipments to torture someone.
On the other side Victor walked inside of his tent followed by 5 woman. They started undressing him before washing him. While he was getting cleaned by 5 woman, Victor was smiling while seemingly lost in his thoughts. But Victor was checking his rewards for first successful attack.
