THE STORM

PREDATOR OR PREY

CH 3.1 - CAGE FOR THE BEAST

The Chinnok took its flight, and all 12 men were ready to shed blood . As per the plan , they landed almost 2km from the base , from there, they have to travel to the vicinity of the base by foot .
Suddenly, the radio sounds *khhhh* "HQ to judges , HQ to judges do you copy"

Second lieutenant HENRY answered, " We copy over. " as being the radio operator and only one who is in charge of communicating with HQ.
As HENRY gave information, the team slowly advanced towards the mark point . Even though they landed near about 1pm, they need to take more time as it may increase the chance for them to sneak in the base and carry out mission easily.

Even though they wanted to take time to reach their target , they covered the 2 km distance in 30 minutes . As KENJI and KARAN kept surveillance over the base with the scope of their sniper rifles. CASEY informs the KENJI and KARAN, " You guys keep looking. If everything is set, we will begin."

After waiting for 30 minutes, KENJI and KARAN saw something . KARAN turns around and says, " Heavy moment spotted , multiple vehicles leaving the base with troops." CHARLIE asked, "Do you see the target? "he replied, " Negative!".
Unexpectedly, the base was empty, leaving a handful of 60 hostile behind to safeguard the building in which the target is suspected to be residing .

After getting ready, HENRY contacts HQ " JUDGE to HQ we are commencing the mission over." HQ responds, " You are clear . Good luck, HQ out."

They ran sneakily towards the base, choosing the area with less visibility . Soon, the team reached the gate of the apartment. VIKRAM tells ANANT to look behind the door with a snake spy camera as GARY tries to unlock the door . As the door unlocked, ANANT said, " One hostile guarding the gate," .

TERRORIST 1- "huh!"
Suddenly, the gate opens, and CHARLIE swiftly takes out his knife and stabs the TERRORIST in his throat and says "shhhhh" . ", glug, glug" with blood flowing out from his mouth . CHARLIE used so much force on his knife that it pierced through TERRORIST'S throat and went into the wall, leaving the man hanging. CHARLIE removed his knife, cleaned it, and they went for room 1 .

By looks of it, every floor has 4 rooms, and the target can be inside any of it . So they decided to barge through every room, clearing it one by one.

With silencers attached to the rifle, they went to each and every room, clearing them one by one , slaughtering the terrorist before they made a sound blood splashing on the wall , guts lying here and there , when they thought that reloading there gun will take time , the switched to their knife slashing and piercing the terrorists , and when they got there knife stucked in somebody they switched to there fist and starting bashing them up . It was a blood bath , a massacre . Before reaching the last floor, they collected every body and put it inside a room, and with their weapon on 1st floor .

*3RD FLOOR AND THE FINAL FLOOR*
The floor had only one room at the end of the corridor , they cautiously moved towards the door . ANANT scanned inside the room for hostile , " 10 hostiles front , 4 heavily armed."
They swiftly opened the door and fired on the TERRORIST , suddenly RANDY , VIKRAM, and HIKARU ran towards the heavily armed terrorist, took there knife out and stab directly into the chest , pulling it out while slashing with blood splashing all over the place , with themselves covered in blood , they searched bodies lying in the room in search of there target , but surprisingly they found none all of the men they killed , none of them were the target .
Confused HENRY contacts HQ " JUDGES to HQ , target is not here I repeat target is not here " but there was no response . He tried again, but now there was a reply, " I... a tr.... , get .. there... it's a tr...." With disturbance and unclear note and a different voice, they were confused . They started to move out of the base, but suddenly AOI screams, and HIKARU translates, "HOSTILES INCOMING , WITH LARGE NUMBERS !!" they swiftly started to run towards the ground floor, but they were welcomed with barrage of bullets . They retreated back to the 2nd floor, where they thought of holding the ground. They shooted back at the incoming enemy , depleting in ammo, but the enemy where still coming .

HENRY contacts the HQ again, " we have been fucking ambushed , need support " Suddenly in a clear voice but it was someone else " its a fucking trap , they knew our movements from the beginning "

*NANCOWRY QUAD BASE*
*SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE*

UNSC COMMANDER leaves the meeting room after the meeting "" In my life I never felt threatened and scared of death , or its my old age acting up." He then moved towards the washroom . "A moment more and I would have peed there " , he bumps a janitor , while walking .
JANITOR "Iam sorry sir "
UNSC COMMANDER " it's my fault "
UNSC COMMANDER while walking thinks "it feels like I have seen that man somewhere".

Finally he reaches the washroom , to freshen up a bit , leaves his file on the basin . The JANITOR comes in "Sorry sir , but I have to clean the toilet "
COMMANDER replies " no worries , you keep doing your job , imma finish my job " and he laughs .

He comes out and starts to wash his hands , suddenly the JANITOR was standing behind him , " what happend boy " asks the COMMANDER.
The JANITOR lifts his head and what it was shocked the COMMANDER.

The man looked exactly like him , face , beard , it was like his DOPPELGANGER. The commander can do anything about it his eyes suddenly turned red , a moment ago he was able to see everything clyster clear , with colors now his vision turned red . The JANITOR was holding his knife which was buried inside his skull , COMMANDER collapses in the ground . The JANITOR moves the body inside a toilet booth and cleans the blood . He opens a different compartment in his cleaning box where there was exactly the same uniform the COMMANDER was wearing. He takes the file , reads it thoroughly, and makes a call.

Terrorist - "Sparrow to base , I have infiltrated the base "
Man, on the other side [ for ease let's note him as BOSS ]-" well done , now tell me the plan "
Terrorist - "They know your location , they will start their mission tomorrow morning , they will come towards the base , I suggest you move out "
Boss- " Let them come , we will have fun,"
Terrorist - " FUN ? SIR, your life is at risk if something happens to you . Whatever we have done so far will be wasted "
Boss - " You know what's better than conquering the world . Seeing someone hopeless . You take the commander place, and no one should know that you are at his place. You got that "
Terrorist-" YES SIR"

THE doppelganger gets out of the toilet and passes by some soldiers , one of them shouts suddenly " Good day sir" . The terrorist gets surprised. " HUH? Ah yes, good day to you too, " and quickly walks away .

After several hours, when the team leaves . The terrorist contacts his boss, " SIR, they are on the move," and proceeds to the control center.

Everything was running smoothly, leading the team inside the base , trapping them suddenly. Someone shouted, " THE COMMANDER IS DEAD , EVERYONE WE HAVE INTRUDER HERE." Everyone looks to the terrorist who looks like the same as COMMANDER .
Terrorist- "Haha , shit " . He runs away as fast as he can, and suddenly, someone shoots him in his legs, and he falls down. " aghhh!!!" Everyone captures him and VICE COMMANDER of the mission asks him " WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE ASSHOLE " . The terrorist laughs .
"HAHAHAHAHA YOU THINK YOU CAN EASILY DESTROY US . NEVER IN YOUR LIFE EVEN IF YOU TAKE BIRTH SEVEN TIMES " . The VICE COMMANDER punches him " stop shouting bitch."

The terrorist continues " You can't do nothing they are trapped surrounded , the news you will get is there death"

VICE COMMANDER - " quickly go to the control room and inform the team to abort the mission NOW!!" then looks at the terrorist " even if they are surrounded they will kill you all and get out of there , you want bloodshed you will see bloodshed ."

The terrorist laughs hysterically and says " ha ha you think they can kill them 20 50 even 60 soldiers but can they kill 200 of them . " He shouts " NO EVEN THOUGH THE LION IS STRONG HE WILL DIE IF HE FACES 100 WOLFS "
The VICE COMMANDER gasps " two .. two hundred ".
Terrorist says " they are dead , and next is you " VICE COMMANDER gets furious throws the terrorist on the ground and aims his gun " FUCK YOU "
