Doom Bringers

Time: 1:00 am
Location: Somewhere over the mountains of Afghanistan

The mornings over Afghanistan were normal as anywhere else in the world, quiet, cool and serene, the sun painted a beautiful mosaic of red and purple hues as it rose the the sky. Since it was still to early for any sunlight to appear the it was the perfect time to sneak in. "We are approaching the drop zone in ten minutes!" the co-pilot of the black hawk yelled over the sound of the propellers cutting the air. Kaybee looked over at his partner and patted him on the shoulder encouragingly. "We'll be home before you know it Bucky." Kaybee shouted. "Man, what I would do for some Coffee" Rick shouted back. They both smiled and waited for their destination to arrive.

Ten minutes later...

"Alright, Were here!" The Pilot yelled back at them as the Blackhawk hovered to the ground. Kaybee looked over at Bucky as the ground neared.

"Good luck in there", the co-pilot said to them as they got off the chopper.

"Thanks!" Kaybee shouted back

Kaybee and Rick looked back to watch the helicopter slowly rise and fly away into the horizon. Soon the serenity of the landscape took over again.

Kaybee and Bucky made it to their destination, a ridge overlooking a small village where they were supposed to set up and provide cover for a team that was gonna come in later that afternoon. Looking down at the quiet village, Kaybee, wondered how a peaceful looking town like that could ever be anything but peaceful. If past experience had taught him anything is that, the peaceful the place looks the more prepared you have to be.

A couple hours past and it was mid day by now. The sun mercilessly bathed the sniper unit in hot beams of light. It was still quiet, but now it was uncomfortably hot.

"Kaybee, we got some activity going on down there" Bucky said

Quickly Kaybee got down in position and peered through the scope.

"Looks like the they finally decided to show up to the party"

Suddenly the radio crackled to life

"This is FoxTrot to Romeo do you copy"

Bucky answered it "This is Romeo, we are in position"

"Were going to breach, after that things might get hectic, cover us our flanks"

"Alright we copy, Good luck"

Down in the village Kaybee, through his scope, saw a units of marines around the compound that was going to breached. After a small explosion the marines could be seen storming through the door. For only a there hung an eriee scilence.

Suddenly the sound of gunfire filled the air. As if some one had kicked a hornets nest the village came alive with activity all heading to the compound.

"Alright Bucky gimme the numbers", Kaybee said

"700 meters on top of the building to the right of the one that was breeched"

Kaybee adjusted the dials on the M40A5, slowed his breathing. Looking through the scope he found his target, he steadied his aim and fired.

"Target Down" Anounced Bucky.

Kaybee just kept looking down range for more targets of opportunety.

2 hours later and 38 more targets later the firefight finally stopped.

Kaybee kept looking down the scope only stoping for some water. The whole ordeal woulden't be as bad if it wasn't so dam hot. The activity has cesed, snipers always seemed to have that kind of effect. Kaybee rememberd a saying snipers had "Kill one man, terrorize a thousand", it seemed quite fitting.

Suddenly the radio came to life with an urgent voice " Romeo, this is Fox company do you copy"

" Loud and clear" Bucky replied back to the radio

"Ok listen to me carefully and move quickly" The radio continued " Your position has been compromised and you need to book it on ou..."

The sentance was never finished because a round hit the portable radio. Instantly training took over. Bucky rolled over and picked up his M4A1 and started sending rounds right back. "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" Bucky cursed, as he shot the nine offenders about 100 meters away. They backed away behind some large boulders to avoid Bucky's line of fire.

"Ok we need to get to better cover!" Kabee shouted as he got his backpack on, " I doubt they were only nine, pretty sure there were more were those came from. "Bucky paused shooting shortly to put his back pack on as well. "Alright" Bucky replied "Lets go!" Bucky turned to go while kaybee threw a smoke grenade to cover their trail, then turned to follow Bucky.

They ran for about two minutes untill they saw a small patch of trees.

"In there, Ill call for back up" Kaybee said as he reached for his personal radio.

"NO! Don't" exclaimed bucky "Didnt they say that our position was compromised, how'd they get our position."

Kaybee thought for a moment then spoke "I guess we are on our own..Lets try to lay as low as we can."

Suddenly from behind they heard a rustle, as they turned to inspect for the source of the disturbance their eyes landed on a small spherical object. Bucky and Kaybee quickly recognized the grenade but was too late. Time seemed to slow as they saw the small but powerful explosion between them.

Very breifly they both felt a flash of warmth enveloping their bodies then cold.

oh... so very cold.
