William saw the HECU had gave him some trucks and light vehicles to do his plan. "Alright Gentlemen lets get this party started," William climbed onto one of the light fighting vehicles and held on as the vehicle rumbled forward out of the bases open blast doors.

"No, just her. We only had 6 people in our stick, we were pulling back from the pentagon, it was overrun. We were all that was left." Brett laid Jennifer on the bed of the medical vehicle.

"Harrison hit his suits radio. Attention all compatriots, I will be closing the blast doors for the night. I will repeat the blast door's will be closed."
Ah now to get some sleep.

William's convoy rolled out through the darkness to the nearest town with a large shopping mall. The abandoned roads seemed more empty at night, William whisper to Sergeant Smith who was commanding the HECU contingent "Sergeant you know what to do?"
"Yes i do Mr Lloyd don't worry we'll get this done"
The road journey was uneventful. They arrived at a large shopping maul.
The men split into teams and began thier work
William stepped inside the Mall and looked at the plans, "ok there's a camping store on level 4 blue section team 3 go and pick up as much sleeping gear as possible, sleeping bags and fold up beds will be perfect. "
Harry nodded and Team 3 moved down the mall to the nearest stairwell.
William and rest began thier job, they began to sweep the mall for survivors. After an hour of fruitless searching they were getting ready to give up and move on to the police station, the trucks had been loaded with the supplies, as well as the contents of a Grocers Tinned food and bottled water sections and most of a pharmacy. William leaned against a shopping display. "Well Sergeant Smith looks like they didn't come here to shelter" William pushed himself off the display which toppled over to reveal a hidden microphone. "Well isn't that nice, if you can hear me we're here to rescue you and take you to a secure location"
A voice boomed out of the intercom, "why would i want to leave my kingdom, i've seen the end". Suddenly a series of shutters slid open and out of them stumbled the creatures which were often refered to as being zombies. shrill cackling came over the intercom. "Fire!" yelled William and Smith and the HECU troopers opened up with practised ease.

The 5 helicoptors flew in an arrow hear formation,all at minimal speed and without searchlights on,but heavy weapons at the ready. Several sets of legs were seen edjecting from the sides of the coptors,men at the ready for quick insurrsions and battle.
Aster was one of those hanging leg sets when he heard it through his bead. The blastdoors were being closed for the night,nothign was going in or leaving. He grinned to himself. They were on their own tonight.

The tank commander seemed to nod to himself, before disappearing back into the tank. Moments later, he reappeared.
"Alright, the Captain wants to have a talk with you. Don't worry, just wait here for a few, and he'll come and find you."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sir, we found something..."
"Eh? What is it?"
Yu had just started to go meet up with the Force Recon trooper, when the private had reported in.
"It'll be better if we show you sir."
Yu followed the private, as the pair made their way through the rubble of a building. And then he saw it. The body.
"What the hell....?"
It was human. Yet it was not. Sort of a combination of both. It wore this strange uniform, and some sort of gas-mask like thing lay near it. Around it lay the bodies of a trio of HECU troopers.
The HECU men looked as if they hadn't but shot, but a hole had been burned straight through them.
But what was most disturbing was the things face. It was human, but tortured, and....mutated? Something about it put Yu off, and he decided not to think about it.
"It had this thing sir. We tried it out before you got here, did pretty nasty stuff to that wall over there."
The private held out a strange weapon, reminiscent of a rifle, and Yu took it.
"Nice toy. I'll go hand this off to our new Force Recon friend. He's probably the best shot here...."
He turned back to the private.
"Collect the HECU men's dog tags. Harrison'll want em. Collect their bodies too, just in case. Leave the thing......"

Brett looked at the Captain, as he came back from the edge of a clearing, he walked towards the man. His tags read Yu. He was also holding some strange rifle.
"What's that?" Brett asked looking at the strange metal weapon.

William felt his rifle smack his shoulder again another zombie took a round to the head, "Smith we need to pull out to the vehicles and make for the base, it's too dangerous"
Smith nodded and began co-ordinating the troopers into fighting towards the exit.

Harrison's suit radio's light started to flicker. "Ah what." "You may want to see this sir." Said Dr Johnson.
Harrison got up, suited up then headed for drone control.
"Yes Johnson."
"It appears that Yu has found Recon."
"And you woke me up for that,"
"Im not finished. They found a weapon."
"Wow."
"Its not human."
"Now your talking."
"Let me finish, this weapon looks like a assualt rifle, but its powerful very powerful. It blew a hole right through serveral of your HECU troops. What about their powered suits. There more powerful than the HEV. How many shots did it take."
"I'll go get the Major Ambridge, lets see what he has to think of this."

Yu simply shrugged.
"Some sort of weapon. If anybody here knows anything about it, I'd figure it would be you, given that Force Recon is it bit more secretive than the Rangers. I've had far too many government secrets for today. Grah. Stress is wearing down us all, isn't it?
Anyhow, found this thing near a few bodies, one unidentified, three friendly. The friendlies are, err were, from this 'HECU' unit. No, I don't know what it stands for. Apparently, the hostile took out the HECU guys, before getting fragged, presumably by a fourth HECU soldier.
As for the gun, it's just like a normal rifle. Except instead of bullets, it shoots these strange glowing projectile things that have enough punch to go through a wall. Nasty stuff. My men found some ammunition packs for it, although don't ask me how to reload the thing.
Anyhow, why don't you give it a shot? You're probably a better shot than the rest of us, and besides, might as well field test the thing before heading to base.
Huh. Reminds me. Guy named Harrison, in charge of a whole bunch of HECU has this concealed underground facility. We're doing one last sweep for survivors before we head there. I'm assuming you'll want to come along? I sent some of my men in there, as many as I could fit on the choppers, and my Gunny says that they've got the medical facilities to fix up your buddy."

Bertt took the weapon from the Captain.
"Sure, I'll go for a sweep with ya'" He said aiming down the sights of the strange weapon. "Hey, mind if I see those mags?" He asked to a trooper standing nearby. He took them and put them in one of his pockets.
"HECU were the guys sent to clean up the Black Mesa incident. Heard of it? I almost got picked for that crap." Brett said walking with the Captain.

The fighting was furious, but William had made it to the trucks, the HECU began to climb on and cover thier friends, Sergeant Smith was getting swamped by zombies, "Run damnit Lloyd."
The truck's started and jolted forward the HECU troopers firing with fury to try and avenge Smith's death.

"Huh. Black Mesa is now the most common name I've heard all day. Something about scientists and spooks.....Grah, none of my business huh...? Well, glad to have you a-"
"AMBUSH!!!"
Spinning around, rifle raised, Yu watched as aliens, of all kinds, started appearing out of nowhere. Small crab like creatures, zombies, the grunts, a giant like the ones before, and a bunch of other freaks-All of them hostile.
"Regroup, and mount up! We can NOT stay here!"
With a cry, Yu's Rangers dashed towards their vehicles. Unlike the beginning of the war, the rangers now were armed with experience, and knew how to fight the aliens.
A trio of rangers engaged the grunts directly, rushing them, and downing a few, before the lead ranger launched a grenade, and the trio ducked behind a wall, safe from the homing projectiles, before they sprinted out to a nearby truck. Although two were hit, one in the head, the lead ranger managed to grab the other survivor, and they made their way to the truck.
Another ranger stood from the belly of a pickup, aimed, and fired. In the distance, a dog-like creature with a huge eye howled in pain, as the bullets struck the iris of the eye.
The tank near Yu rumbled forwards, and the turret turned, before the tank sped up. Driving at 60 miles per hour, it crushed any alien unlucky enough to get caught underneath. Still moving it fired, slamming a round into the giant's head. Two other trails could be seen in the distance, as the two other tanks fired onto the giant, bringing it down.
Yu himself lept onto one of the trucks that the rangers had found, and offered a hand to Brett.
"Might as well get moving....Damn, those aliens sure knew how to capitalize on surprise.....This place is pretty much devoid of human life now...."

the Robotic drones fired. There entire payloads hitting into this alien horde. The rockets managed to take down a dosen or so Alien grunts. They did strafing runs through the aliens, their miniguns blasing cutting down ever more.
"Yu This is Harrison, I see you through the drones cameras's, don't warry they will give you covering fire till there weapons ammunition is depleated. Just try to double time to the facility. I want that weapon."
"Now where the hell is the major and Talyor. I want them here now."

"Drones eh? Damn, the Feds have a bunch of fancy toys....Alright boys! Gun it, and don't stop for dinner!"
The company, by now mounted in their vehicles, raced off to the base, soldiers firing sporadically from their positions. A few, who had mounted SAWs to their vehicles, used these to deadly effect, suppressing the aliens long enough for the vehicles to barge through any and all barricades they managed to set up.
Yu's company was back.

Aster saw it quickly amongst everything else. A warehouse about half a click up north,its lights were on and there were several spotlights around. He pushed a button on his collar and called for all his transports to turn and head back to base. He then switched frequencies and called to Harrison. "There's a building here along my search pattern,its heavily guarded and looks quite menecing in my opinion. Im bringing my men base,over?"

I guess we can see what this baby does....
Brett squezed the strange firing device and the weapon kicked in his arms letting forth a strange ball of energy hurling towards a zombie. It hit it and then the zombie lifted up and stayed suspended slowly turning black and almost burning away.
"Well that was fun, now what does this button do..." Brett said to a ranger sitting next to him.
He pressed the other trigger and it let hail a burst of projecticles killing a grunt in the process. Then the little silver cartridge was pulled out by an automatic hand and replaced with a new one, with red in the center.
"Thats cool...."

The trucks rumbled down the ruined highway, when suddenly a loud booming sound came from the sky, suddenly a large shape came down it had two round engines but looked alive. Suddenly a cannon mounted on the creature's nose opened fire on the convoy shreding into the trucks, four rounds slammed into William's truck causing it slew to a stop and topple, William saw rounds striking men as he was slammed into the roof of the truck.
"Damnit, get to cover", The HECU troopers quickly disembarked and ran to the road side diving into an irrigation ditch"

Yu pointed, and stared, open-mouthed.
"Remind me not to urine you off...."
Suddenly, the truck hit a bump, and swerved to a halt.
"HOLY SH*T!!!"
Turning, Yu and the rangers saw that another giant (OOC: The Giants I keep referring to are Gargantuans) Almost directly in front of them. Hitting reverse, the truck went backwards, just in time to avoid a massive arm coming down. The driver then shifted a little, and gunned the engine, heading down a different street.
Up ahead, the aliens had set a roadblock, and the grunts were firing massive amounts of fire. The ranger manning the mounted SAW let loose, causing very little actual damage, but still convincing the aliens to not stand around so much. The truck soon smashed through the barricade. Turning back onto the direction of the base, it started heading to rejoin the convoy.

The drone's changed direction and proceeded to fire their weapons into this giant. The rounded looked as they bunced of the thing. They contiued firing the round's still bunced off. They changed thier directory agian as they couldent harm there target. They flew in between a the buildings. And started firing again at the xen's. There gun's clicked.
"Harrison still watching the screen. Ah out of ammo."
"Yu your own again but i have something you make like."
The drones flew out and headed back to base. A compartment opened and they droped some crates for Yu's force's to open.
"There's a nice suprise inside for you Yu."

William lay in a ditch with John and 8 HECU soldiers. The flying creature had moved on now but the road was strewn with dead HECU soldiers who had got caught in the open or inside the exploding vehicles. "See if you can a vehicle moving we'll make a run for the base it's too dangerous in the open and radio them to make them aware of what's happened."

There were so many creatures, Brett stopped bothering to shoot at them and focused on the road ahead, just in case the driver wasn't.
"So, where exactly are we going?" Brett yelled above the roar of the SAW.

Aster suddently looked puzzled. There were several vehicles over the highway his unit was flying over,and they all were on fire or scorched from earlier fires. "Bring us down there!" he shouted to the pilot. The copters began a decent down,and Vince could see several dead soldiers upon the ground. This all took place recently as well,no more then a few minutes ago at most. He stepped off with his troops as the rest of the helicoptors landed. "Spread out,look for survivers!" He yelled and his men split into fire teams and went out searching.

OOC: I'm about to go out on a limb here.
William heard a deep throbbing sound from nearby, he turn thinking the creature had came back. He saw a group of black shapes descending, "Cover find cover"
The surviving members of the expedition dove for cover, the technician trying to fix one of the trucks cowered in the driver's footwell praying he wouldn't be spot.
"Choppers!" someone exclaimed.
William saw them dimly helicopters landing, and troops dismounting. He stood up and waved, "Thank God, we got ambushed some kind of flyer it came fast and shreded our vehicles, the stinger just made it angrier it's good to see some friendly faces."
