"I can't believe they're making us go all the way uphill, in order to capture ONE Objective." Said one of Jack's teammates sitting right next to him. They were dispatched earlier from the General in command to capture an objective, and that there were no enemies nearby. It was said to be an easy target for them. Jack was armed with a Scar 11, and a P33 Pereira. It was a basic setup. He was only ranked Private, so he wasn't given any special weaponry.

"Driver! Are we near the Objective?" He asked.

"Almost there! Should be there in about two minutes!" Jack let himself relax. It'd been a long drive. Constant gunfire in the distance could be heard. The two Titan's were still being attacked, but the shields weren't down yet.

"WALKER!" The driver yelled, swerving to the side, off the road. A Walker was directly on the path, aiming towards them.

"BAIL! BAIL!" Jack jumped out, hitting his head against the cold soil. The walker fired a missile at the vehicle, making it explode in fire. Jack, without wasting time, got up and started running. They were very close towards the Objective. He thought if he was able to get there, he would be able to take cover and call for backup. The walker fired hundreds of bullets at his teammates and him. One bullet struck him in the arm, but the adrenaline inside him kept him from feeling the pain. He finally made it towards the gated area of the Objective. He broke through it, and ran into one of the buildings. He looked for his radio.

"Oh no.." He realized he had the radio inside the vehicle. Maybe one of his teammates had a radio? He quickly erased the thought of going out there, knowing it would be pure suicide. He decided to wait it out, if he could, inside the building. The walker's mechanical footsteps made it into the Objective area, and started looking around for Jack.

"Maybe an EMP Grenade?" He thought. Maybe the EMP grenade would be able to disable the Walker, enough for him to climb it, and get inside the small lid? It was highly doubted, but it was the only thing that might be able to work. He took out his EMP Grenade on his belt, and readied himself.

He ran outside, squeezing the EMP Grenade, activating it. He threw it towards the Walkers head, and it stuck. The EMP Blasted into electrical waves, disabling the Walker.

"Yes!" He yelled, climbing up the walkers leg. The walkers head then blasted off, and the Driver was up in the air. He had enabled the Emergency button. Jack climbed off the leg, aiming his Scar 11 Into the air. He fired multiple shots. He missed all but one. It hit the PAC soldier in the throat. The PAC Soldier glided downward on his parachute, dead. Jack went over to his dead body, and grabbed the dog tags, attaching them to his Knife. It was a tradition that EU Soldiers would do. Maybe now he would be able to use one of his teammates radio's, and signal in for Drop Pods? He ran out of the Objective area, adrenaline still pumped since of what happened earlier. He saw the crash area, with one of his dead teammates. He took the radio from him, as well as taking his Dog tags.

"You will be missed." Jack whispered to his dead body.

"General! General! Are you there?"

"This is the General, what do you need?"

"We were ambushed sir! I--"

BOOM!

He looked up to the noise. The EU's Titan's shield broke down, and enemies poured in. The Titan's alarm went off. He dropped the radio.

"Fuck!" There was nothing he could do but watch. He wouldn't be able to help. He took out his Binoculars to get a better view. From what he saw, PAC Soldiers were rushing in, obviously looking for the Titan's Nexus. Once the Nexus was destroyed, no one knew what would happen. Would the ship explode? Was it the Titan's engine, and would it fall? The Titan's were usually never breached this way.

He sat down, looking at his hands. Realizing that this may be the end of the EU. All he could do was wait until either one, The Titan's Nexus was breached. Or two, all of the PAC's soldiers were dead from the turrets, and or EU Soldiers. He saw various drop pods hitting the front end of the Titan.

"Wait." He thought. Maybe he was able to tell the General of what was going on the outside, and help? He didn't know. He picked up the radio.

"General!"

"What!?" Constant gunfire was heard in the background.

"They're sending seven more drop pods! As well as a helicopter! I suggest to have AV-18's on the go!"

"Thanks for the Intel!" The General dropped the radio, giving commands to other soldiers. That was the least Jack could do.

Then, A Sudden blue wave blasted over the Titan, and land, and Jack blacked out. The PAC Had breached the Nexus.

What happens next?
