Location: Undisclosed Location Operator:Hudson James Weaver Target:Objective Talon Mission:Capture Time:1420 hours Hudson's POV

The truck pulled to a stop in front of the ring. As I opened the door,the freezing Serbian air took me by surprise and made my hair stand on end.

"Cold much",Wyatt asked.

"How the hell are you not freezing,i asked miserably.

"I grew up in Alaska,Wyatt said,why do think John always called me an ice cube?"

"Whatever,I said,what's the mission here?"

"To recover a Priority Nexus Target,Issac said dropping the tailgate."

"Who's the target?"

"A Dragon named Tyro,Issac said,apparently he's a recruit into something called Project Draco and he went rouge,they want him back,but we have orders to kill him if he resists."

Something was eating at me as Issac spoke but I had no idea what it was. Issac popped open our weapons crate,three suppressed P93 Sub-machine guns,our B32Rs with suppressors and flash bangs.

"Look at this ammo,Wyatt said.

The 5.33 ammo was tipped with a needle.

"It's that same shit we found all those years ago in Afghanistan."

"Who cares,I asked,lets just get this done and get home."

We grabbed our packs from the truck and entered the ring. The inside reeked with the smell of waste and blood,it was an unholy combination.

"We need to find the cages,Issac whispered keep your eyes peeled,we have till the fights are over to find this guy."

The sick feeling continued to fill my mind. My stomach was upset as we walked through the hallways,and the smell of waste,blood and death sure wasn't helping me. I was having flashes of the day we rescued Wyatt and John died. On that day Raven squad was officially disbanded,but un officially we continued to work. With out constraints,overwacth,and as much as I hate to admit it,morals. John's death had turned the entire team upside down. I have been a helpless drunk since that night. John would be disappointed at what his beloved team has become.

Heavily armed guards patrolled the halls,some were shooting us looks. It only added to my uneasiness.

"The arena is through here,a garud said opening a door for us,find your seat the fights are about to start."

Issac thanked the guard and we stepped through into the arena. It was something to behold,the ceiling was around 300 feet high and a razor wire net stood between the arena and the stands. We took seats a ways back to avoid blowing our cover.

Then the first dragons were dragged in. One was a skinny red one with tattered wings,overgrown claws and was covered in scars. That's not him,Issac said,the one in this picture is desert tan. the other one,was nothing short of a beast. He was pumped up with two foot long horns,large talons and six foot wings(that was folded in). He looked like he took care of himself,his chest was stitched closed and he appeared to be surveying his surroundings,trying to get his bearings.

"There he is Issac said,look,it's an exact match."

Then the fight started. As the red dragon lifted off,Tyro spit a fireball through his wing with great precision. The red dragon was knocked out of the air and crashed with a thud. The dragons hissed and snarled at each other as the red one took to his feet and charged Tyro. He was met with a head but that exposed his neck. Tyro didn't hesitate,locking his jaw around the red dragon's neck. Something was off though,Tyro looked as if he hated the idea of killing another dragon,the look in his eye told me what I'd been wanting to know since the night of June 22nd,1999.

"Ho..ly..fuck,i said aloud.

'What Hudson,Issac asked.

"That,is not,a Draco recruit,i said pausing between the words.

Issac looked at me,not understanding.

"That dragon,is John." Issac went white.

"That's MY little brother down there?" Issac's voice was low and filled with horror.

"We have to end this now,he said going for his gun.

Wyatt and I restrained him as he started to cry.

"No,I said,I want him back too,but we have got to wait until we have the upper hand,there are to many guards,we move,we die."

Reluctantly,Issac sat back down and watched the fight unfold. The red dragon began to cry as John tightened his grip,in the stands we could hear the other dragon's bones crack under the pressure. The audience was wowed with the power John possessed. John let go of the dragon,the audience stood and cheered.

All but me,I continued gazing at John,his huge paws and snout covered in his victim's blood. He had a look of guilt. I had never seen him with a guilty face before.

"This is so screwed up,I whispered,John is killing his own,against his will,and we can't do anything?"

The next dragon came out,he was dark green with a yellow underside,and just as big as John. There was no snarling on either parts,it was simply attack. John and the other dragons locked heads,and with a single twist,John snapped the other dragon's neck. The sound of the bones breaking echoed in my ears.

"That's my little brother",Issac repeated over and over again.

A third dragon stepped into the ring. Long,slender,and pissed beyond belief. John snarled at him,he snarled back. Ten seconds,I did not even see what had happened. One second John was standing,the next he was on the ground,spurting blood.

"No,Issac whispered,not again."

John moved,then was on his feet,in two seconds he closed a hundred feet,locking his jaws around the other dragon's skinny neck. It struggled helplessly against John's grip. With a savage twist,John ripped the dagon's head off it's body and then collapsed himself.

"Come on,Issac said,we have a job to do".

As we entered the hallway,Issac drove a knife into the chest of a guard carrying an RPD and open fired on the others.

"Check your fire,he shouted we got civys!"

Wyatt and I pulled out our P93s and fired on a group of AK carrying guards." The hall way was filled with lead as we exchanged bullets. My gun clicked,

"NO,I shouted,I'm dry!"

I spotted an PKP Pencheg laying on the ground 20 or so feet away,I was going to take it.

"Issac,I shouted,give me cover,I'm going for that PKP!"

'Your covered he shouted,get it!"

Pulling my B32,I sprinted down the hall,shooting guards that popped out of cover. With 6 feet to close,I dove prone on top of the machine gun.

"Stop them,a guard yelled as I picked up the machine gun and fired into the mass of guards. I felt a round tear into my shoulder and I ducked behind the wall.

"Put that fucker down",I shouted to my team.

Two loud shots rang out,I poked out from behind cover to see Wyatt with his SCAR equipped with it's SB upper. Issac had in his hands an AAC Honey Badger.

"HERE HUDSON,Issac shouted pulling my FAL OSW from his pack,TAKE IT!"

Issac slid my weapon too me,I dropped the PKP and grabbed my baby as she slid to me. The feel of the cold Belgian steel in my hands filled me with confidence. "Push forward,Issac yelled,wev'e got to move!" I peeked out and let off four shots,four kills.

"I think we just invaded fuckin Russia",I said as we sprinted down the hall.

We turned the corner and were met by PKP carrying guard dressed in a ridiculous amount of body armor.

"JUGGERNAUT",Wyatt screamed,FIND COVER!!"

We ducked behind the wall as the guard ripped it apart with armor piercing ammo. Thunder rang in the distance and the guard was split,literally in half at the waist.

"What the HELL,Isaac asked,did THAT?"

"Don't care,I said,let's get John and get out of here!"

We kicked open the door to the cages and were appalled at the sight. Thousands of dragons were piled on top of each other in cages,waste dripping down on to them from the one above. Many had eye and skin infections and were nothing but skin and bones.

"Oh my god,Wyatt whispered,it's horrible.

"Take a good,longlook boys,I said,this is what happens when governments get out of hand."

"Look,Issac said,blood trail."

There was a trial of blue blood leading to a cage containing John and four other dragons,a female,and three cubs,and the female looked like she was pregnant.

"He's got a family,Issac whispered.

I took the crow bar from my pack and began to pry the cage open.

"Don't you die on me Marine,I said with tears in my eyes,I still owe an ass beating for Veitnam!"

"Base this is Raven 2-2,Issac called,request V-22 ERE at our location,how copy?"

"Rodger that Raven 2-2,estimated time of arrival in 30 ticks".

Thunder once again echoed in the distance and the roof collapsed. I finally got the cage open and pulled John's bleeding body out.

"Not,wiii..th ouuu..t,he rasped before passing out.

The black cub looked up at a cage that contained a skinny brown dragon with soft blue eyes. Issac pryed the cage open and pulled him out.

"We got company,Wyatt yelled firing his SCAR at a pair of Juggernauts that had just arrived.

The sound of thunder once again echoed in the distance,twice,both men were split in half. The V-22 finally arrived and we escaped.

Unknown POV 2,000 yards away.

"We could have had him,Blitz said.

"And we will,I said placing my hand on the bolt of the oversized 105 MM sniper rifle and working it's massive action,just not today."

Firedrake sat on his haunches beside Blitz,staring through the sight of his own 105,"he's hurt bad Hunter",he said,"It's comparable to the throat wound Taro had.

"He lived didn't he,I asked.

"Tyro will live,Nighith said with a look of confidence on her face,I served with him before,it's gonna take more than a few claw wounds to put him down."

"Better report it anyway"

Unknown POV

Taro swept the ground with his tail. A look of worry covered his scar covered face.I walked up beside him,

"What's your malfunction?" I asked.

"If he dies,Taro said with a shaky voice,this war is over."

"Blitz knows what he's doing brother,I said.

"For our sake and the sake of everyone here,I hope your right."
