[Alpha]

Chapter 14 - Teamwork

Obtaining Nazi uniforms, both Alfie and James made their way to a building in plain sight.

Many Nazi's were hustling and bustling doing their jobs and such.

Though they thought they were doing well they forgot to note that they look different, aside from their too western faces, they have beards.

It's rare for beards to appear around these Nazi camps.

But luckily they weren't getting too much attention.

Finally nearing the building they ran into two guards in front of their target building.

"What is your business here?" One of the guards asked.

There was silence.

Inside James head he was startled, they were speaking German.

Of course they would, this is a German force.

But what is killing James instead is that he didn't think of it sooner, he doesn't speak German, and Alfie most probably doesn't eith-

"We are here to take this to the storage room." Alfie said.

James suddenly looked at Alfie trying not to look surprised.

"...the storage room is not here, it's over there." The Nazi soldier said pointing somewhere else.

Alfie was stuck there blinking while James face was twitching.

Before the Germans occupied this Fort, the Frenchmen were the ones that had it, and in that building was the storage room along with the power control room to all the electric power in the Fort.

Guess it changed.

"It is?" Alfie looked back and around trying to see the situation around.

It was bad.

The place was filled with soldiers and if a situation occur then it would not go well for them.

James was looking at Alfie with an unclear expression.

"Well okay you got me, let me tell you a secret, come closer." Alfie said in German to the two guards.

But before they fell and cause alarm Alfie quickly grabbed the two as if meeting old friends as he laughed.

"Open the door! Open the door!" Alfie silently screamed at James.

As James opened the door, Alfie and the two guards who are grabbing their throats walked in swiftly as Alfie laughed.

Inside Alfie dropped the two on the ground and wiped an imaginary bi sweat.

They were lucky enough that there were no one on the immediate entrance hall.

"Your plan sucks." James said.

"Who knows we might have made it without suspicions, plus not everything goes to plan, and you learn from mistake."

"We should hurry, we must have been made." James said.

"What makes you say that?" Alfie asked as they started rushing.

"Nazi's don't laugh." James said seriously.

"Eesh."

••••••••

Knowing how time is against their plans the two quickened their steps.

On their way to the underground level they decided to make noise.

They grabbed weapons from the duffle bag and shot everyone on the way with precision and no wasted shots.

It went well they made it to the control room, but now the whole Fort was alerted.

Alfie's adrenaline started pumping and he was excited, add some Chi to the adrenaline and miracles happen.

James was the same, but this time he was moving more freely and using his claws as well.

Being in a company before kept him from using them.

The two prepared.

"Here wear this." Alfie said as he gave James another armor, a more thicker one then the skintight suit.

James put on the plated armor this time and didn't argue, there was no time for that.

Alfie also wore his plated Deathstroke suit.

Around both armor are grenades, ammo, and flashbangs of sort, fully loaded.

Like always Alfie's armor was themes black and orange while James were themed yellow and black.

As they got fully geared Alfie kept handing things to James and himself in a rush, on James back was a shotgun and a semi-machine gun.

On Alfie's back was his Katana and a shotgun, while on his left hip resides his pistol.

Last thing Alfie handed out was goggles of sort.

"What are these?" James asked as he never seen a night vision goggle.

"It helps you see in the dark."

"That's useful." James said.

It was small enough to not bother one when in close combat battle.

"Ready?" Alfie asked with an excited smile.

For the first time ever since Alfie met James, a smile formed on his face.

James cracked his neck before his claws slowly start coming out.

"Goggles on...let's go crazy..."

Alfie raised his hand holding a big lever, and pushed it down.

Suddenly the light in the room went out and it was pitch black, and like a chain reaction starting from that building all the lights turn off.

As the building was quickly filling the first group to enter the control room entered.

And with flashlights they looked around but found nothing, they went to the lever, but before one of the Nazi's could turn it he suddenly lost his arm, cleanly.

"AGGHHHH-!!"

The soldier screamed, but only for a brief second before his head was rolling on the dark ground.

The many flashlights in the room flared and moved like it was a disco room.

It wasn't until one of the lights lit up something black and yellow did the action start.

Before the soldier can fire his shot James slapped the rifle away before bringing that hand back slicing his claws at the face before James pounced on another stabbing the spine.

On Alfie's side he was cutting whatever he can, even the weapons aren't safe from his slashing.

Thousands of shots were happening but the two weren't injured in any way.

And they slowly but surely cleared the room one by one.

They moved to the steps to go for round two.

As they moved up they both got out a grenade and stood near a door to a large room full of soldiers.

Pulling the ring and throwing the grenades in the dark did more than thin the numbers, it took out more than half the soldiers.

And with that both Alfie and James ran out clawing and slicing, Alfie got his pistol out as he started shooting which felt natural to him.

Pistol on his left and his sword on the right, it just felt right, he loved that feeling.

James instincts was fully on and aware, he had no doubts in his mind, no hesitation.

Or it won't end well.

As he was being shot at, James clawed a soldier beside him and brought him to his front using him as a meat shield, and ran into the shooter throwing the meat shield before jumping high and like a savage clawing at the shooter.

10 minutes later they cleared the building and the ground level, now the only thing to do is head out.

But that would be too easy for the enemy.

Alfie went to a high point of the building and looked through a window to pinpoint all the fort towers.

He brought out a launcher and rpg's ready to blow them sky high.

As the outside was still dark the enemy was able to use fire and big lights that roams around the fort looking for their enemies.

That was until...

*Boom*

One of the towers exploded and fell.

More panic ensued the enemy forces.

As the enemy on the ground try to find the point where the fire came from and the towers try to pin point the light as well another fire happened, two of them.

*BOOM* x2

There was 5 fort towers and three of them just blew up in a short time, the enemy started to panic as their sources of big light left was blowing up.

*Boom*

Another one.

And as the last tower stand, the guards on top of it panicked and trued to flee, they tried to climb down from the tower...but it was too late.

*Boom*

No more big lights and the only thing shining the fort was the moon and small speckles of fire and flashlights.

Then the main show begin.

In one are of the fort Alfie and James secured a zone for them as they hid behind a block firing at the many soldiers here.

Grenades and flashbangs being used wisely and effectively eliminating large numbers of enemy.

At one point Alfie also brought out the rpg and blew the crowded areas and buildings.

"How many more left?" James asked.

"Haha I don't know, a few hundred?"

They started to run out of grenades and such, they picked up enemy weapons to start shooting again.

Their shooting is good, Alfie's shots are never wasted and would hit bullseye on the body or head almost every time.

Though James wasn't as good as Alfie he shoots things that could make big explosions and that was good enough.

"Ready? This is the fun part, don't get shot in the head though." Alfie said.

"They never aim for the head." James muttered.

Alfie threw his dented mask on the fight against For Rennes, so he was helmetless like James.

"HAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!!" Alfie and James.

The two ran opposite sides and head for opponents.

They were both agile and quick enough to not stay too long in a barrels sight getting gunned down.

But if anything the two was smart enough to pick their hands up and use the gauntlets to shield themselves from thee shots.

But they had to move continuously and never pause for more than a second or two.

Alfie moved graciously like he was dancing, his flips and jumps was good enough to dodge and also help using the inertial force to stab and slice.

His pistol for the long ranges and sword for close range, to him it was truly a perfect balance.

James did things a bit more forceful, and it worked.

As he kept moving through the dark a sudden light lit up James.

James grunted from the light as he didn't know it would hurt his eyes from the goggles.

"James turret watch out!!" Alfie on the far side screamed out.

By the time James put up his goggles and looked up at the car shining it's headlights, he saw a gunner on top with a turret.

James jumped to the side to dodge but was too late as the turret line of fire got his ċhėst plates blasting him back as he grunted.

"Damn, he'll be fine right?" Alfie thought as he jumped and did a side flip sending three shots at the three enemies near him.

Taking care of that current number he dashed to the side James was in charge of, quick, light, and swift.

The turret fired but with great speed and agility Alfie avoid it, as the line of bullet fires came back to him he jumped over and in mid air shot one fire from his pistol killing the gunner.

"James!! James!"

Alfie looked to the side but noticed that James wasn't there.

His attention went back to the turret as a new man hopped onto the turret.

Alfie aimed his pistol and pulled the trigger but there was no more ammo.

Alfie readied himself to run at the new gunner when something pounced from the back and clawed at the gunner.

It was James.

"Bastard got me worried."

James ripped the turret from the vehicle and jumped down firing it at the ones around.

As Alfie was distracted a shot came from the back and got his back, his goggles falling off.

He grunted getting up, thankful for the sentence "They never aim for the head."

As Alfie slowly got back up, he looked to the tens of soldiers behind him, what they soldiers saw was a two shimmering gold iris's.

"I will show you...CARNAGE."

Alfie disappeared from their sight, and in the darkness around the soldiers the shining of a silent sword shined rapidly in slow motion...yet it was anything but slow.

And true to his word, carnage happened, a bloodbath if anything.

Standing in the middle was a man not in black and orange, but a man donned red with the blood of his enemies.

James seemed to have gotten a bit of rage as well, as he ignored the shots at him and focused more on the turret of his hand killing his enemies.

"AWOOOO!!"

The howling of a wolf came, and Luna ran in jumping biting the necks of the soldier.

She seemed to have some luck herself as she hadn't been shot yet.

Or the Nazi's are just bad shooters.

After that the three slowly cleared the field.

•••••••••

3 hours later...

The two sat in the showers as it rained on their head to their bodies as they talked.

They did some rerounds and cleared the fort of extra shrimps.

The power came back on, the food was out ready when the two walks out and started barbecuing.

There were a few people being held in small prisons as Alfie and James let them out, they were extremely shocked and nauseous when they walked out to the literal bloody fort.

But the two just let them be, they also showed them the rations building incase they are hungry.

The towns near the fort has been quiet due to the hours of gunfight.

"So what now? Wait for the main forces to reach?" James went back to his usual grumpy self.

"No, we'll leave tomorrow."

"Whats there?"

"An old friend, about time I see how he is doing." Alfie said.

"I doubt that's really the reason." James said.

"Anyways come on, I'll start off the cooking, they have booze too." Alfie got up and put on some pants before looking at James.

"I'll be in here for a bit more, you can start without me I'll be there." James put his head back as the showers hit his face.

"Sure, ease up."

As Alfie went out James thought to himself of how anything that happened was real.

It was unrealistic, even with everything they have.

Abilities, skills, experience, gears, armors, and explosives... was that really all it took to achieve what they just did?

From the beginning of this suicide mission James didn't expect much, he saw Alfie as someone truly crazy, one who would rather die in the battlefield drawing blood then be peaceful.

They made it.

Just the two of them against a whole Fort of trained soldiers, well two including Luna.

It still felt unreal, the term "One-Man-Army" was never thought up on him, but the things they just did...gods must be on the side of this Captain of his.

James soon got up and dried himself, he put on his inside clothings before the skin tight suit, he wasn't complaining now, because the tight suit was actually useful.

He stood there staring at the plated armor Alfie gave him, a like of shots on the right stomach to the left shoulder.

It was just marks, these gears are priceless.

As he fully donned his armor again he head out to Alfie.

He could already smell the barbecue and all, but what he saw was Alfie not grilling but writing.

On the side was Luna having her own bloody meal.

"What are you doing?"

"Writing a letter to our mighty General, I called the base a while ago, I told them of the situation in Fort Nantes and that it's captured."

"There are still some people who were imprisoned here a while ago, they can be debriefed by the coming units." Alfie said.

"We're leaving first thing in the morning."

"Riding straight to Italy? A bit too far." James said.

"I'm sure we both have all the time in the world." Alfie said with a smile.

"Plus we may be able to have some fun while heading there.
