As the next few weeks passed, planes, jets and more were thrown at the Black Vein US Forces.
F-80's check in.
We've managed to hold aerial supremacy. The old tactic of Blitzkrieg is working. They can't stop us. Hold them on the ground Bubba. Take no prisoners.
I hadn't planned to.
As incendiary bombs rained over the Black Veined troops, Biden looked at his wrist-mounted device.
Scramble F-35's, F-22's, Reaper Drones, show them just how obsolete they really are.
As the Black Vein Forces launched their counter attack, the battle of the air ensued. However, they were having more trouble on the ground. Inferno, the Assassin, and the Watcher were all shredding the US Black Vein Troops. Flames cooked trees and people alike, the 400th was ripping their command apart and yet, it was a never ending onslaught of troops.
THEY JUST KEEP COMING!
HOLD THAT LINE! IF WE FAIL, THEY REACH BUBBA! HOLD THIS LINE!
As the Assassin fought, the doppelganger of the Ghost marched towards him, making his move by grabbing the Assassin's face and cracking his jaw.
NONE OF YOU SHALL SEE TOMORROW!
The Doppelganger stabs the Assassin's thigh, but is forced back by Inferno.
YOU ALL COME IN PACK!
What can we say? Friends do that.
Then, I'll kill every last one of you in order to draw him out! I WILL KILL HIM!
Inferno blasts a massive line of flames between them, stopping the Doppelganger in its tracks.
Bubba come in, we need...
-static-
BUBBA?!
The Doppelganger laughs. I'm afraid Bubba is not coming to save you. The doppelganger holds up Bubba's and Lil Bubba's heads smiling.
Like I said. None of you will survive!
All ground forces retreat!
-Static-
RETREAT GOD DAMN IT!
As the Assassin turns around, his eyes fill with horror as the black veins are eating their troops, some alive, others killed.
We gotta go! Pat! We're falling back! They're eating our dead and wounded!
What?
BOMB OUR POSITION NOW!
As the Assassin, Inferno and Watcher all rush to the freedom express, the black veins pile out of it, fresh blood dripping from their mouths and body parts of their comrades dripping down their bodies.
RUN! RUN! KEEP GOING!
Inferno torches the ones close to them and rejoins the group. In one massive counteroffensive, Ottawan Offensive Group Gamma was no more.
Losses were almost complete, with only the Assassin, Watcher and Inferno surviving for the time being.
As the Black Veins lumbered after them, Biden joined the Doppelganger.
You see? The new soldiers are far more effective than conventional ones.
That I do see. I will allow you to infect more. I want this nation under our rule once and for all.
As you wish Biden. You might want to check with the orange guy. He was tasked with killing off the US Senate survivors after all.
Yes... I should do that.
The Doppelganger grinned as he watched his black veined horde lumbered after any human survivors.
Soon enough, I will have killed off everyone he loves, I will force him to lose his sanity, and consume his own friends. I will kill him in body and soul. The bleeding heart will have stopped bleeding at last.
