Charlie sipped his coffee with great relish. He was in his office in Fort Langstone, overlooking the port cities of Portsmouth and Southampton. A loud knock on the door drew his eyes up from his paper work. News from Afghanistan, more clashes with insurgents, as if it was anything to do with him, what use was the regiment when it was hard to identify your target, they really only got called in on hostage situations.
"Sir." Sergeant Gerald entered. "Yes sergeant." The major sighed, it had been a long night, he found it hard to sleep. His leg still ached from a wound sustained in the Falklands, near Port Stanley. "Got a message from the MOD, we got a few orders." "What orders Gerald?" "Just to get our arses to London as soon as." Ambridge sighed again, in fustration this time. "Bloody red tape ah?"
The major went about fitting himself out.

It was another one of those giant monsters, the ones with fire coming out of their arms.
The ones that had slaughtered Yu's squad.
"Lewis, how many shots you have for the LAW?"
"2 sir....you think it'll be enough....?"
"It'll have to be..."
Turning Yu, looked at his ragtag group of soldiers. If they could survive this......
"Alright everyone, we're going to bring down that thing beyond the rubble. Split into two fireteams. Alpha, will take the right, and distract the monster. Bravo will take the left, and work with Alpha to make sure the monster goes nowhere, Charlie, which is Lewis, will be covered by Delta, the militia to make an attempt to bring it down. Once Lewis fires both of his shots, break, and try to regroup here, if not, regroup at the warehouse where we linked up with the milita.
Alpha, Beta, and Delta, your secondary responsibilities include making sure the giant's buddies don't try to take a pot shot at Charlie. Charlie, aim for the head. It's our best chance."

William Lloyd and his sqaud saw the monster and immediatly moved for cover. William kicked in the door to a tennament block and he and his man began to spring up the stairs. He swiftly got up a few floors and entered an abandoned apartment block. From here he could see the creature's head clearly. He whispered to his men. "We'll let the soldier boys deal with that. Let them fire first. When they fire thier rocket, take a shot at the head. Harper you cover our backs just in case this building isn't secure got it. The Militiamen nodded, they were all still committed to the cause and would rather let the soldiers die and let the monster go past then risk themselves.

"Go code Alpha."
With that simple phrase, the U.S soldiers opened fire. The monster moved surprisingly quickly, and reached Alpha's position, but then was paused by the timely arrival of the fire from Bravo Team.
The monster roared as it stayed still, confused slightly as to which team to attack.
"Go code Bravo"
"Roger that, Charlie, firing one."
A rocket streaked into the beast's large head, slamming into it and detonating.....and having no visible effect.
"Damn....Alpha, Bravo, M203's, fire!"
The M203 grenade launchers that some of the soldiers had made a popping noise, and detonated on the monsters head, but again, there efforts produced no effect.
"This is Charlie, firing two."
With a small glance, Yu saw Lewis crouch, and fire again, his rocket streaking into the monster's head, and Yu heard his men cheer as it fell.
"This is Bravo! Good hit, good hit!"
As the smoke cleared, Yu nearly dropped his weapon.
The giant got back up.
"This is Yu, abort! Abort! Meet back at the warehouse, go!"

William saw the missile strike and saw the monster go down, his men were raising their rifles and preparing to fire. He didn't even need to give the order his men dropped out of sight and began to crawl slowly towards the corridor and back of the building. William whispered "That thing is going to follow the soldiers, we'll wait and sneak out once they've drawn it away"

Solikov had been taken to a few meetings of various details and courts,and asked his opinion on several moves about moving infantry to and from various parts of the motherland,Europe,and the Americas. After a few days of waiting it out in London, his unit was loaded into 4 large air transports and sent flying off to the Americas

OOC: Im back and the camp was great but any way i am now in charge of my role play again. Thank you everyone who currently wrote here.
IC: The HECU watching the monitors and watching where all the current portal storms were apearing across earth they watched via satilite uplinks verious goverments and militarys trying to combat these new threats.
"Come on, lets move out"
"The next portal storm starting to apear near Sydney Australia. 50km's out to be exact. We have to stop them from reaching the city. Give the Goverment a call and tell them for people to stay in there homes and have there forces on red alert we don't want any more of these xens to infect other civilain areas."
Hundreds of HECU troops ran to the osprays and prepared for the oncoming invasion. They suited up with RPG's, M4's, SAW's and any other heavy equipment they could carry.

London was burning.
Within hours the capital was infested with those things. This was no organised invasion, this was almost...like some sort of natural migration. A, B, C and D squadrons had all been bogged down immediately, even with their reputation as one of the best special forces in the world, this situation was unheard of.
Scattered the 22nd regiment of the SAS had been caught in running street battles throughout London, they had got as far as the Thames, the northern half was completely overunn. They were fighting to hold the south. Stretched lines of refugees flowed across the bridges across the river as bullets and god only knows what else was exchanged across the river. They did have two full regiments of the army with them, but it still was not enough, it's as if the bloody things were coming out of the walls.
They were unstoppable, the only thing they could do is hold the river long enough for the refugees to get to the port cities in the south. There were rumours of this sort of situation across the country, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, even Edinborough.
Unlickilly, at this point Ambridge was still in the northern part of the city. In a panicked fury, the major unloaded a full clip from his mp5 into something that seemed to resemble a dog with three legs and had about 20 eyes, killing it dead. At least these things bled, thats a start.
He rounded the corner, the river was in sight, and so was Sergeant Gerald, fending off hunchbacked, humanoid creatures, each with a peircing red eye dominating their face and seemed to be chanting.
Charlie was blown 30 metres through the air as a burst of hollow blue energy eurupted in the centre of London, another of those sodding portals, it was like a...portal storm. He was fighting a loosing battle, he and Gerald needed to get south of the river.
The sergeant was at the mercy of one of them, a crackle of green, sickly energy built up in its hand...or claw as it had Gerald pinned. Ambridge fired in burst, yellow blood spattered onto the pavement. The two others came at him, their chanting brimmed with malice and their red eyes fixing him in a hateful stare.
He sidestepped the first, unloaded into it point blanc, it fell with a juttering, agonised scream. Swiftly, the major brought his gun around to knock the other. In this moment of respite he unsheathed his combat knife and drove it repeatedly into it. Unpleasant smelling yellow blood stained his uniform.
As he ran over to the downed sergeant, he couldn't help but laugh at his surprised expression. "An old duffer like me still has a few tricks!" Gerald was speechless. "Now sergeant, on your feet, we are bloody moving!!!"

"Run dammit, run!"
It was right behind them.
Yu and his squad lept over another pile of rubble, and ran through what was left, turning around just in time to see the giant rip right through the house.
"F*ck! You think a rifle is going to hurt THAT!?"
So they kept running. Yu had lost track of the militia, but he didn't have time to worry about them now. Something started beeping though, and Yu realized it was the radio.
"Sergeant. Hold your position. Keep it still."
Taylor?

William and his men came out into a deserted alley way. "Ok lads we'll try and secure a transport out of here i think this party has became a little rough"
The seven militia men began to move out of the alley way, looking for a way to escape the city.

The osprays touched down the troops ran out looking for resistance but found none.
"So were is it this portal." "Has it passed?" "No, its over the city."
...
"Run, Run" There was an explosion. "There every where, lets get out of here" HECU troops firing wildly into the crowd killing hundreds of civialians and xen creatures alike. "Harrison watch out." Harrison spun his head and saw a large tenticle fly out of a manhole he ran too only see the large creature kill members of HECU. Serveral Rockets flew at the creature and at first it seemed to have worked but it just retreated back into the sewer. "IT's BACK!!"
"Get to the buildings" The troops fled into all surounding buildings. Many were killed by alien grunts or as they ran into the house's were ambused by zombines and headcrabs. "The smarter troops throw grenaides into the houses before entering then they barricaded them selves in. They searched rooms and took up firing positions in windows and proceeded to fire apon the creature. Harrison grabed the radio and proceded to ask for reinforcements "Are there any friendly's ..... need support xen creatures killing ..... forces ...... we ..... attempting ...... to ....... out." The radio went dead. "I hope someone heard that."

They sent Captain Solikov,now lieutenant Colonel Solikov of the Trans-coalition Liberation Army,and his new company out to stem the tide of so called alien onslaught in a portion of the USA. Reports indicated that the portals were growing in size and releasing the creatures in even greater numbers now. In total,some 150 men were under his comamnd here. Only about 40 or so were his original Spetznaz troopers,the rest were a mix of British Commando's,United States Rangers,and Mexican Special Forces. 25 Helicoptors carried them in 5 decent formations above the landing zones. There were already United States soldiers fighting there,but talk said that they were reduced to fighting a losing battle,a fighting retreat to wherever the remaining officers thought to be a good strong point. "4 minutes till we hit the LZ,sir." ,A pilot radioed to Solikov.

"Yahoo!!! Suck it you ugly sons of a b*tches!!!"
The M1 Abrams' main cannons fired, slamming their deadly payload into the giants.
If it was still alive after the first volley, it wasn't after the second.
Behind the tanks, what looked to be a ranger company swarmed by, taking down the grunts that had been following the monster, along with the various other tag-along creatures...
"Holy....Taylor, where the hell did you-"
"RV point. We ran into one of the Evac points, and we told them we were from your mob. Next thing you know, we ask for volunteers, and we get a whole company....Their captain's dead though, same with most of their LTs. So we gathered up together, and I figured I lead them back to you. Next thing you know, we run into a trio of Abrams headed to kill that thing over there, so we decided to tag along. You know what happened after that."
"Wow," started Yu, "I really don't know what to-"
"Don't say anything. I kinda gave the impression that you're a Captain."
"What!? Do I LOOK like a Captain!?"
"Yes."
"Shut up Taylor."
"Whatever you say, Captain"
"Gah..."
Moving away, Yu stood on top of a pile of rubble. If they thought he was a Captain, then he might as well enjoy it and act like one...
"Alright, anyone willing to give me a sitrep?"
"Yes, sir!" shouted one of the remaining Lieutenants, and who promptly filled Yu in, along with letting him know about the reinforcements...
"Well then.....Move to their LZ, and we'll carve a path along the way, I want 2nd platoon to loop around west, and make sure that the Evac zone there isn't having any troubles. Have the armored boys drive west too, they'll need the tanks more than us. After we link up with the reinforcements, I'll have a chat with the guy in charge, and see if we can push the aliens out of this place.
We just might actually win boys."
Theatrically, he turned, paused, and turned back, raising his rifle and shouting,
"Rangers! Lead the way!"
"Sir yes sir!"

William and his squad had began to double back realising he couldn't leave fellow humans to die he'd told 4 of his men to go and rescue thier families and get them to safety. He and two other's went back to help the soldiers. A buzzing noise alerted to William to danger. Suddenly a large insect like creature landed in the alley in front of them. It struck quickly. William's two comrades died instantly pulped by a massive spiked beak, William fired one shot before the creature hit him glancing him down, he saw the monster rearing over him, before a beam of strange green light struck the creature, the last thing William saw before he passed out was a green figure with glowing red eyes and an arm emerging from it's chest. It spoke a strange language yet William heard it say "This one is important, we must save him"

Harrison and his squad firing out of the window's. Into the hordes of zombines, grunts, headcrabs and other xen creatures. Other HECU troops firing out of the buildings as well grenades were flying rockets detonating in the streets. Zombines started attacking the barricaded doors and storming into the homes. There was gun fire then there was silence. The zombines started moving to the next house. This time when they entered there was an explosion a zombine hit a trip mine. There was gun fire. This time it didn't stop. Looking through the window the troops ran up stairs. And push a table to block the way. They managed to kill the first set of zombines. But then the grunts ran in there weaponary cutting into the HECU's Powered vests. And the HECU's gun fire seemed to just bunce off the creatures armour.
"Harrison" said a quite and direct voice. Harrison looked out the window and sure a man in the middle of the crowd of aliens. He was holding a brief case and wore a suit. The man disapeared. Harrison closed his eyes, when he opened them he wasn't in the home he was the on a different world. "Mr Harrison I have been watching you and these other members of military groups. This world will be changing no matter how much you try and stop it." Said this Man "Who are you." Harrison replied "That is not important, but this is what is going to happen you are going to USA for a time and help out other military forces." "What!! You can't my men need me."
Harrison tried to grab his side arm but it wasn't there.
"Sorry about that but those weapons are goverment property."
There was a flash and the mysteryous man disapeared. Harrison turned round and saw his HECU troops were now here with him. "Sir what happened." "I don't know but we are stuck here."
There was another flash and they were gone. They were in a squadron of helicopters flying to a undisclosed location.
Harrsion looked to his left and there was a Spetznaz trooper "Who are you."

Yu's Rangers stormed through the city towards the LZ of the incoming choppers, becoming a final thrust into the enemy.
They caught the aliens by surprise, and they kept moving, capitalizing on their advantage as long as they could. They knew the aliens would win if they got bogged down. However, Yu started seeing something strange.
Some sort of man in a suit, with a briefcase, who appeared to be walking without a care in the world. It was a brief sight, but nonetheless a disturbing one.
The next time Yu saw him, it was during an engagement.
Yu had smashed into a grunt, kicking it down, and fired into it's face, before bursting into the grunt's allies. He ran up to a wall, and on instinct, unclipped a frag, and threw it through the window, killing more of the creatures.
Afterwards, he had taken a squad and cleared some more buildings when Yu decided to go recon the area. While looking through one of the windows, he had spotted the man again, who seemed to be nodding in approval.
Who was this guy.....?
Within minutes, the Rangers had managed to break through to the LZ, sustaining minimal casualties, and secured the area for the imminent arrival of reinforcements.

ooc: we needed more vortigaunts and more creepy foreshadowing
William Lloyd awoke with a start, he was in a dark room on a thin but not completely uncomfortable matress. A pair of alien creatures and a human were sitting near him. The Man looked over "He's awake" William reached for his weapon only to find it was nowhere near. "Do not worry friend we will not harm you, we wish to give you a warning, you must stop fighting and wait, wait until the 8th hour, only after then can you stop the destruction, only then can you pave the way for the free man" Said one of the creatures.
The other creature spoke, "You must find the other's and walk the path together. Protect the men of science, they will be instrumental.

Solikov leaned out the edge of the Helicoptor as the cords went down. The first 5 of his airborn transports began to let troops down and out,all neat and tidy yet stern and tough. He slid below the fourth man and above the second,reaching the ground in less then 8 seconds and still diving out so as not to disrupt the man above him. His troopers each gave a quick run down and check of the area before spreading out with their own units and taking up firing positions amongst the troopers already stationed there from the other units. He and his command squad ran towards some ruins with ally troopers and hunkered fown beside them. "Who is your commandant?" ,He asked them in flawless English but with a heavy accent.

"Our commander?" asked the trooper, guessing at the meaning, "You mean the Captain? He's over there."
The trooper pointed at a small group of soldiers, all of whom wore U.S Ranger uniforms.
"Looks like he's talking with the Gunny, but I bet you he'll be glad to talk to you."
With that, the Ranger went back to cleaning his rifle, occasionally pausing to look at the helicopters and the reinforcements. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean I'm a first lieutenant?"
Yu smiled, enjoying the little payback he had on Taylor.
"Well, every Captain needs a second, and I figured, you'd make the perfect 1st LT. Afterall, you did rally an entire company."
"Because I told them the Captain ordered them to-"
"-and I told them I sent my trustworthy 1st LT to go relay the message. So now you're stuck running the company with me."
"You know what Yu?"
"What?"
"Some days, I hate you."
"Eh. You'll live."

Ambridge and Gerald took a breather in a small house. Smoke blotted out the sky completely and nothing but gunfire and sirens could be heard. The river was in sight. Gerald peaked up as he heard a crackling in his radio. "Bloody hell! Major, we have a signal." Charlie scooped up the reciever immediately. Whoever was transmitting they were broadcasting on all channels. "This is an order to all units, we are going to blow the bridges, repeat! We're blowing the bridges!" "Oh sod..." Ambridge mouthed.

William had been listening to the creature, he needed to find the right people, he'd agreed to the task because he had felt the honesty of both the man and the creature.
William left the building he had been left in he could hear a large group around the corner, they sounded human, he peered around and saw lots of soldiers some of them with uniforms that he didn't recognise, he did recognise Sergeant Taylor though. He began to walk over to him.

Aster nodded his thanks and walked towards the group of men the young soldier had indicated as the commander here. He looked at each individual man and finally decided that the two men arguing about ranks were the officers in charge. He came up to them and searched each for rank pins,but found none. He didnt salute,but instead came to attention besides. "Good day comrades,im looking for the commander here,i am Leiutenant Colonel Aster Solikov" ,He said with pride but strain. His muscular build and semi-broad shoulders complimented the stars he now wore,but he still felt very new to it.

OOC: Colonel-Commissar are you saying we are fighting about who is in charge.
IC: "So does anyone have a plan or are we just going to let these aliens destroy our world we cant sit here and wait for others to come. We need action. So this is now a HECU operation. All comanders now report to me. You are still in charge of your forces but you must listen to what i have to say!"
OOC: My character is atempting to take charge don't let him. At least not yet.
