This story contains many cases of horrific death, followed by graphic details READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED hehehehehehehe sorry no sex and most likely no more parts Sniper God The Beginning of the Beginning ACT I: Shades of Grey Chapter 1 If your men won't move forward, then throw grenade at them. Col Shaw of the 72nd Para's Quote from Flak Jumpers the story of the 72nd Para "Hahahahahaha you'll never catch me Crim" a young ten year old human hollered to a small dragon who looked about the same age. The dragon got up and started to chase his friend. The two children play in the human's front yard till it got dark. They would have kept playing if their mothers hadn't told them to come in. They said their goodbye and went their separate ways. The Present Rookie smiled at the thought of him playing in his yard. Running around playing tag with the dragon child next door, Rookie thought about that dragon. His name was Crimson Thunderwing he was son to Thor Thunderwing a great blue dragon who helped liberate dragons from slavery. He had dark blue scales and yellow eyes; he mated outside his clan after the war and settled down. His mate was a black dragon name Iris Earthshaker she had light black scales all over and piercing sapphire blue eyes. They had one child Crimson, Crim had dark black scales and dark red eyes hence his name. Rookie met Crim when he moved to Rook's neighborhood when they were both nine. Crim didn't seem to like Rookie at first he went to the same school as Rookie and Rookie noticed a lot of people didn't like Crim. One day some of the older dragons were picking on Crim and Rookie went to help him out. The end result was they got sent home because they both took down one of the older dragons while the others ran. The last time Rook saw Crim was the year before the third dragon war started. The war started and they were on opposite sides. Nine Years Earlier Rookie's Dad was no war hero like Crim's but he put food on the table. Rook's dad was part of the human government; he was on the high council and saw a horrifying thing start to take place. A dragon-human Hybrid had been born and many on the high council decided that they would have to stop this. They were to blind though and decided to start a war with the dragons however they needed a vote of 90% for any action to take place. Rookie's father saw this and started to get his family ready to move from New Thermaldown city since it was on the border with the dragon territory. He warned the Thunderwing's that things may get really bad really fast and told them to move deeper into dragon territory. Rook always loved his father for doing that and for teaching him the tools of Rook's current trade. Rookie's father was no war hero, he was an unsung war hero he was a sniper. He taught Rookie how to be a sniper so when the war started he would be ready. The reason being everyone in Rook's Family were crack shots, Rook had ancestors who were snipers before dragons came back to the world. Their family tree had snipers all the way back in the Second World War. Rookie himself was named after this great sniper and the first of the family snipers. He was a Russian sniper who saw action in a city called Stalingrad the irony was he lived there and became a super sniper there. Rookie followed in his foot steps because the city he has been fighting in for three years now and earned his super sniper name is New Thermaldown city. Present day Rookie prepared his hiding spot before any enemy troops thought to attack. Rook always killed at least one person a day since someone thought they could beat the sniper god. The sad part was they never learned today looked like it would be different. Rook had spotted the enemy squad moving up the trench and saw it was heading right for the front. Rook quickly found the squad leader and sighted him up planning to kill him as soon as the squad left the trench. The officer stop just at the edge and started talking to his men *Great his famous last speech* Rookie thought. In the trench across from Rookie *Great he's giving us a pep talk before we die* thought Comrade Sniper Thunderwing. "So we got to get over into that ruin before this Bastard Human gets set up" Sergeant Thor finished *this idiot was to ask me for advice but it looks like he wants a medal, fucking idiot* Thunderwing thought. This squad was assigned to help Thunderwing take out Rookie and was to follow his orders. However Sergeant Thor had bigger plans like to take Rookie out and get promoted. "Forward! Get to that ruin you gits." The sergeant screamed everyone was out of the trench and running when the sergeant's head spattered into a crimson red and white blast coating the corporal behind the sergeant's body. "HOLY SHIT HIS HEAD" a horrifying SPLAT finished the corporal's sentence as his throat exploded outward behind him. "GET DOWN, SNIPER" a private screamed before he too was hit. Thunderwing watched in horror filled fascination as the three soldiers were blow away before he could react. He ran to a shot down jet, and dove under it figuring correctly that this guy was up high. One of the soldiers had followed him and said "Geez he got them in one second we're fucked!" As if to punctuate his words another soldier who had choose poor cover died as his heart was blown apart in his chest. Thunderwing and the soldier watched as the rest of the squad was killed in the same gruesome manner until they where the only ones left. "So Comrade Sniper what do we fucking do now." The soldier asked "We hope he thinks we're dead and my names Crimson" Thunderwing replied. "My names Axel Talonbreaker." The soldier replied "And what do you mean we hope he thinks we're dead." Axel asked. Crim answered "If he thinks we're dead then we may be able to escape this damn hole alive." "Great so how long do we wait" Axel asked his answer was a bullet bouncing of the jets fuselage. Back in Rook's hiding place Three loud bangs echoed in Rook's ears as he killed three dragons in rapid succession. *Like shooting fish in a barrel Ha* he thought, he noticed two dragons dive under a shot down A-10 Warthog Tank Buster jet but decided to kill the rest of the squad off first. Rook smiled *Looks like I can add seven more to my tally* he thought *Now what to do about those two* he thought as he fired a round at the jet. "How long can you stay under there dragons, how long" he said to no one. Under the crashed jet "So what's your brilliant plan to get us out alive?" Axel asked. "I've got one but you won't like it." Was Crim's answer and truly it was horrifying to Crim but better than sitting here. "So what's the bad news?" Crim almost laughed at the statement but started to explain "We both get out and run, you to the trenches, me at the sniper hopefully one of us makes it." Crim finished. "Sooooo what's the worst case scenario." Crim gave Axel a look that could not be mistaken for anything else "Oh let me guess we die." Axel asked "Do I have to answer?" this quickly ended the little chat. "Let's do it" In Rookie's hiding spot *They've got to try to get out some time.* Rook thought to himself. Just as Rook started to sight in the dragons bolted one coming towards Rookie the other running for the trenches. "Geez they think I'm going to fall for this." Rookie said aloud. He immediately shot the guy going for the trench. The dragons skull blew apart as the round connected *Good now for the deco
OH SHIT!!!* Back at the jet Crim ran hard and fast to get to the enemy sniper. Crim really thought he was going to die until he heard a shot ring out. He didn't have to look to know Axel was dead however he wouldn't let his sacrifice go in vain and jumped into the air. When he reached the top of his 50ft arc he grew out his wings. This is why he was a sniper, dragon snipers were chosen for skill and wings. Why? So they could operate on their own easily. As Crim got to the building the sniper was in, he saw him lying in some rubble and pulled up his rifle and looked right at the man who had been trying to kill him. "Suri?????" Chapter 2 War is indiscriminate with who it kills no matter the side or lack of. Lt Benjamin Huckaby the First on war. The two soldiers looked right at each other and couldn't think of what to do. Rookie though this creature looked familiar not only that but it used his real name. No one in his unit knew his real name yet this creature, this dragon knew it as soon as it saw him then he recognized the dragon "Crim?????". Crim looked at the human and heard it say his name the only other dragon in his unit who knew his first name had just died but this human knew it like second nature. They both looked each other straight in the eyes and felt the bond they had developed as friends reconnect between each other. Crim smiled and broke the silence "Should have known it was you, you always were a ranged fighter." Rook replied quickly "You have no room to talk." Rook asked "So any chance we can say this never happened?" "Sorry Suri got to bring you in orders." Crim replied. "Damn looks like you got me." "Huh?" was all Crim could say "Yea I give up I know I can't escape somehow I knew you'd be the one to catch me." "Wait so you're giving up, fine, Command I've captured Rookie, need a squad to extract and guard him." [Roger, Squad Skyshaker is on route to your position]. "Well looks like we've got awhile, so how you been Crim". Inside of an M-30 Rhino APC on Route 12 into the city "Damn sarge why are we the first unit in?" "Shut the fuck up Private Gaal before I make you." Replied Sergeant Ironside as the APC rolled down the road. Sage looked around at the rest of his squad mates. Sage was a member of Third squad, Second Company of the 233rd Infantry Division. His squad was one of the more rebellious squads in Second Company and he loved every minute of it *Never a dull moment here*. He liked every one of his squad mates. There was the brothers Pvt Mack and PFC Mark Gaal, Pvt Sara "Renamon" Talis, Sgt "Ironside" Yara, Pvt Hoss "Mac" Arthur, Pvt Luara "the Fox" Marion, PFC Tal Huck, and himself Cpl Ben "Sage" Huckaby. Sage was the newest member and this was his first action so he was nervous. "Hey Sage you scared?" Asked Mac "Yes I'm scared but I'll be ok." Sage replied. "Alright just don't worry about anything we look out for our own." Sage smiled *Geez first time out and they think of me as just another squad member, I think I'll like my first tour of duty* Sage thought. "Alright we're going to be getting out soon so get ready" Sgt Ironside yelled out over the engine. Sage's squad was to support a MECH unit the 33rd that was attacking the city. They had to clear out houses so 33rd's L.M.s could punch into the city. There also was the 2nd Sniper Corps but they had lost an important member of their unit and were searching for him, *Poor Bastards probably dead*. "Get ready Troop we're getting out" the Sgt hollered as the back hatch dropped down. Sage was the first out and the first thing he saw was 4th squad's APC sides BULGE out and tear apart as a rocket hit the APC. "SHIT SARGE 4THs ALL KIA" Mac screamed out "Keep moving or you'll be joining them" was Ironside's reply. Sage quickly found cover behind a shot up ground model sports car and looked for targets. He was joined by Fox, Mac and Tal who promptly screamed "Well looks like were not going bar jumping tonight huh Mac" "I don't think there are any bars left in the city Tal" was Mac's reply. Sage started to take in his surroundings; they were on a bombed the shit out of roadway that looked like an old city on Earth called New York only bombed to hell and back. * Huh I wonder if this is what my dad meant when he talked about his military days* Sage thought as the Sarge screamed "MOVE IT DAMN IT WE GOT TO GET OFF THIS ROAD!!!!" Sage heard something it was a light whistling sound *Wait whistling.......* "INCOMING ARTY" was all Sage could get out as rockets started to rain down on the roadway. Sage looked to his left and saw three guys from 2nd taking cover behind a truck when a shell hit them dead center. Sage watched as a helmet bounced on the pavement and rolled over to him it stopped at his feet, there was something sloshing around inside of it, Sage looked away and follow Mac off the road. They regrouped two minutes later in an apartment a block away with the rest of their company. Out of 80 troops, 14 were dead no wounded and all the KIA's were in 2nd and 1st. 2nd had lost 4 troops, 1st had 2 KIA's, and 4th squad were all dead *Just great and we haven't even seen the enemy* Sage mused. The Sarge came back into the room "Ok troop we have to clear that road, check weapons and ammo, Move out" the squad started to move out of the building into the ruble around the road [Sage you go with Fox and flank right there's a gun emplacement that you need to take out] [Got it Sarge, Out] Sage quickly followed Fox trough a bombed apartment building. As they checked the rooms Sage came across a little dragon girl dead and slumped in a chair "Holy shit Fox look" "Damn poor girl" Sage walked over and picked up a stuffed toy and put it into the girl's arms. Suddenly the girl grabbed his arm and looked up at him "Hi Mr. Human have you seen my parents" was all she managed before the reaper claimed her. Sage was shaking* How could anyone do this, how could people kill kids* he thought as Fox came over. "Poor little girl she's so young, ya know this is why I joined up to stop shit like this from happening" said Fox as she helped Sage get up "Sad part is after a while you'll get use to this stuff" Sage looked at her "How do you get use to seeing children died before your eyes" "You watch your own" was all she said as she walked out of the room. Sage blinked he had just been let in on a big secret and he knew it, but no time to worry about it now, they had to take out that gun. They moved through apartments towards the road quickly and quietly. Then they came to a hole in the wall that they couldn't get past because of an enemy soldier outside. This dragon was from the only dragon unit in the city, the 9th Infantry division. The soldier had a large odd looking sword in his hands; in the middle of the blade was what looked to be a gun. Sage recognized it as a mark III gun blade *Shit he's an assault trooper*. Suddenly the dragons chest blew outwards and his corpse collapsed to the ground *Sweet some friendlys*. Sage leaned out of the hole a little and saw a female sniper hiding on what was left of a second story apartment. He motioned for her to join up with them and covered her with Fox as the sniper moved down to their position in the blasted apartment. The sniper walked into the room and Sage got his first good look at her. She was a gunnery sergeant in the 2nd sniper corps and she looked the part, a hard face, lean body and an M-92 20mm sniper rifle preferred weapon of human snipers*And any dragons who can get one*. "Gunnery Sergeant Iris Kasha what are you two doing out here?" "We're part of the 233rd" Fox replied "Hmm well stick close the Dragon 9th I.D. has troops all over this part of the city" Sage and Fox nodded and followed Iris through houses and apartments till they heard a loud series of whooshing sounds. "Rocket launcher do you two have satchels" "Yea I've got three, Fox has four I've also got a thermite grenade" "That's a little over kill" "No such thing right Fox?" "I'm not getting involved." Suddenly they heard more rockets a lot more. They nodded to each other and started to move out. Three blocks later they came upon a clear area with six mobile multi-rocket launcher tanks. "How are we going to waste those things their too tough for a satchel?" "Sage still got that grenade?" "Let me guess I toss it into their ammo supply and we run like hell is behind us, which it will be." "Yea that's the idea" "Great just cover me ok" with this last comment Sage started to sneak down towards the launchers. He slowly worked his way over to a bunker that had a crate full of rocket loading tubes which held the rocket safe in side the tube of plastic. He slowly put the thermite grenade in between some of the tubes and set the timer to 55sec, just to be safe. Then it got real quiet *SHIT the launchers are out of rockets* Sage started to run out of the bunker when he saw a dragon emerging out of a crew bunker where the crew waited till they need to load the launchers. Sage saw the dragon lift his rifle to his shoulder he flicked off the safety, then his head detonated and cries of sniper rang loudly in the air. Sage ran straight into the building where Iris and Fox were, and as he got inside he saw Fox and Iris running down the hall as fast as possible to escape before the grenade set off the rocket rounds. A thermite grenade burned hot and fast, and the plan was to cook off the rocket rounds which hopefully would set off the whole stockpile and destroy the launchers, and another whole block around the site. Which is why they were running like hell was on their heels, because it would be. Sage ran as fast as he could when he heard the detonation of the rockets, he jumped for a shattered section of wall and felt the heat of the blast wash over him as he hit the ground and passed out. Chapter 3 Politics kills more soldiers than enemy bullets Quote of Gen. Ben Huckaby the Second Back on Route 12 "Guts keep moving man" PFC Torvold Lucis complained. Grant "Guts" Ivan looked back at Torvold "Oh zip it Tor before I hurt you" replied Guts. Guts was part of 1st squad 2nd battalion of the 33rd MECH Regiment, as the name implies they have Assault Mechs. Guts squad consisted of six soldiers including him and four Living Mechs which were Mechs with a highly advanced A.I. that gave them their own personalities. There was Sgt Madox Talis, Cpl Sal Tans, PFC Torvold Lucis, Pvt Karl Marcus, Pvt James Jones and, the four Mechs Alex, Mars, Tarus, and Ox. Guts squad was tasked with clearing the gap that the 233rd had made in the enemy, this mission was important because they would be the first armored unit in the city since the war stared. *Great we go in after the foot sloggers to clean up their mess, damn* the squad started down the road with 2nd squad behind them moving to cover their rear. Things seemed to be quiet*But that doesn't mean its safe.* Guts thought as their squad moved through the rubble. Suddenly the 20mm cannon that Ox carried shot a burst into a house ahead of the squad, this started the enemy firing like crazy at the squad. "James lay suppressing fire on that house." "On it Sarge." At this point Alex blasted an enemy heavy weapons team moving in to flank them. Guts turned to cover the right when he saw movement in the ruins "Sir, they're on our right." "Shit light ‘em up Private!". Within seconds numerous dead enemy bodies were laid out all round their position "Shhhiiitttt. Look at this mess Guts we trashed them" "Hope your right trooper cause this could get even worse" Karl Looked at Sgt Madox "How could this get worse, sir?" As if to answer his question a heavy gun emplacement opened up from down the street. "THAT'S HOW! Flank that nest and flush ‘em out" was answered by a chorus of "YES SIR!"
