Author's Note

Please Note: Confused about the writing style? I was inspired to write it like this by the book called Metro 2033, yes for those who have played Metro it's based off a Book! First one I played like that though. Anyway, this is how it was written in the book so I am following its lead.

Unexpected Arrival

Artyom (Right) and Yuri (Left) were talking in front of their Mi-24 waiting for clearance to take off.

'Oh, Come On!' yelled a voice over the radio.

'What happened?' asked Yuri responding to the radio.

'Some bastards from the other team just rammed me with a vehicle full of satchel charges!' Both Artyom and Yuri let a chuckled climb up their throat's as the crew of the T-90 respawned close by in a medical tent. This is one of the many reasons these two stayed helicopters.

'Yesssh... I thought they only did that in Battlefield.' said Artyom.

'Yea, no kidding but Trollers have infested the internet recently.' said Yuri.

'No, it has been going on for the last... Who knows how long!' Replied Artyom throwing his arms into the air.

'Anyway, we should get going. I'd rather be in the air than sitting ducks on the ground.' said Yuri walking towards the Mi-24.

'Good point.' responded Artyom walking close behind.

Opening the cockpit he climbed in before closing the hatch. Starting up the engine the blades slowly began to spin up. Speeding up to full force he lifted into the air creating hurricane force winds below them. Disengaging the auto-hover he leaned the Hind forward producing forward momentum. Then they made their way to the enemy base.

Loy Manara потерянный.

'Ah crap...' said Artyom.

'What did it say?' asked Yuri. OK, those are not their real names. That is what they call each other when they play on the Russian team on any game with the exception of Artyom named after the Metro 2033 and Last Light character. 'Artyom' studied Russian in High-School so he knew what it said.

'We lost Loy Manara.' he said.

'Dammit...' commented Yuri under his breath. 'I don't really want to try to retake that, not like last time.' The last time they tried to recapture that point, Artyom wasn't paying attention as a AT soldier got him from below that caused a huge explosion. Unknown to him that the AT soldier died in the blast.

'I told you that сука got us from below, how was I supposed to know?' questioned Artyom.

'Maybe if you weren't fling at such a low altitude we would have.' Yuri complained.

'Oh, it's my fault? I wasn't the one who said "Get lower so I can blast these motherfuckers".' countered Artyom quoting Yuri on what he actually said. Before Yuri could continue the argument his eye picked up something ahead. Zooming in he locked his sights on a Blackhawk. Its black metal easily stuck out in the brown-ish sand.

'Blackhawk ahead, looks like a fresh spawn.' Readying the cannon he waited for Artyom to acknowledge.

'Aim for its tail, we have a better chance on disabling them.' complying on his friends advice Yuri took careful aim before firing the 12.7mm machine gun. 89% of the 25 fired shells made their mark causing the Blackhawk to spin out of control. If it were real life the Hawks tail would have been missing or turned into swish cheese. Banking right they continued on to there base complete unaware that the Hawk survived. Within minutes the airfield rendered itself, beginning to approach Yuri was zooming on the base looking for hostiles.

'There's a single Stryker near the medical tents, but nothing else.' said Yuri zooming out.

'Well it's my turn to attack so here we go.'

'This should be easy.' Yuri did not notice Artyom face-palming knowing he just Jinxed it.

This isn't going to end well. he thought. Switching over to rockets Artyom placed his right index finger on the trigger ready to destroy the lone Stryker. The Stryker's turrent turned towards them, ignoring it he continued his approach. Then the cannon fired sending a shell at the Hind. Artyom pulled back on the stick hoping to dodge the incoming attack only to fail as the shell struck the Hinds belly with a *clang!*. First thing that came to his mind was why they didn't explode on impact, second was noticing that they wouldn't survive due to the rotor being damaged. Angling his Hind in a last ditch attempt he rocketed forward hoping to kamikazi the Stryker and with luck the medical tent. The Stryker tried to back away but the Hind was faster, slamming into the Stryker both war machines fuselages ignited causing a flash on the airfield followed by a deep and loud explosion.

ARTYOM IS UNCONSCIOUS
YURI IS UNCONSCIOUS

ебать... thought Artyom as the flames licked his unconscious body. Soon darkness filled his vision bringing an end to this adventure and into a new one.

...

Meanwhile, the Crystal City was being attacked by Sombras undead army. The soldiers had red pules with black irises striking fear into the hearts of Crystal/Lunar/Solar Guards as the rest was just skeleton covered by shadows and black & crimson armor. One-fourth of the city has taken by the monstrosities easily over taking the Guards that protected the castle.

Sombra raised her sword bringing it down on a bat-pony guard that was on her hands and knees. Her head was easily cut off rolling to the side afterwards, blood spewing out in a stream from the neck. A Pegasus Solar Guard to her right tried to charge at her only to be impaled through the its chest. She gasped for air as the sword ran through her heart, crimson fluids running down the sword the other end completely stained with it. The soldier felt a warm substance make its way up her throught, something grabbed her head from behind. It tilted downwards causing her head to look upwards into Sombras green and red eyes. Fear, that was the only thing she felt. Tears formed in her eyes desperately begging for her life but to no avail.

Sombras smile only grew as he slowly pulled his sword out of her chest. When it came out blood gushed out staining his cape with the substance. Growling in anger he threw the guard to the side colliding with a wall creating a streak of blood as she slid down. Her last view of the world being the snowy landscape, but before death took her she noticed something in the sky approaching the city. Letting out one last cry for help she said...

'Please, help us.' before going limb.
