Nick Michels was laying in his cell recovering from his latest visit with Brother Coins when an explosion knocked him off the cold slab he gets to call a bed. Just as he was gathering his wits his cell door opens. Taking a second for to his eyes to adjust, a silhouette of a cartel security police sergeant came into view.
" No time to be on your ass sir!!
your in a middle of rescue and we need to move NOW!!"
With a smug grin on Nicks face.
" Hell Sergeant what took you so long"
bravo team is down this hallway, my men will stay and guard the rear.
Wasting no time Michael ran meeting up with bravo team. He had all of a second to notice the scores of dead cobra guards
...." damn must been one hell of a fight"
"say something sir..."
"no lets keep moving"
From what nick could see this had to be the smoothest operation he was ever a part of, that is until they meet up with team Charlie. Just as Bravo and nick round the corner Charlie was in fire fight with Iron Grenadiers, Destros elites and behind them was Destro himself. but all wasn't lost, like living shadows Mishima Doomtroopers appeared. Looking like the tide has turned Charlie team rallied and really began to "turn the screws" on so called Cobra elites. That's is until Destro made his move.
Unloading his rifle into the one of the doomtroopers with uncanny aim the trooper was dead before hitting the ground. Knowing that grenadiers just need to hold them long enough for back up. Nick knew he had to end this fight now. Seeing his chance he took it, to the shock of Bravo team he ran forward ignoring the cross fire and charged Destro. They exchanged blows. for every hit landed Destro took and return in kind. With the steam from nick's charge worn out, Destro pressed the advantage.
Just as he was swinging nick around in a arm lock and bringing a pistol to his head the last of the iron grenadiers fell its body riddled with bullets. Stepping forward with the barrel still smoking was a Mishima Doomtrooper marksman.
"Take one more step add its bye bye Agent Micheals"
" shoot... shoot him don't let destro get away"
"Your bravado will make a fine scene in a movie someday but..."
-sound of heavy machine gun fire-
"..never...take??"
-more machine gun fire-
"chance of...hitting...
you?."
Nick fell forward hard! the shot in the arm spinning him out Destro grasp. Destro slumps against the wall, the holes in his chest leaving fresh red blood on the white paint as he slides down. The Doomtrooper rushed forward and threw Nick over his shoulder with one arm and keeping steady the HMG with the other he then quickly turned to meet up with the others. As they where leaving nick looked up..Destro's body was missing
"damn" was all Nick could say before passing out.

Ok my plan was simiple (almost feel quilty about it.)
infiltrators and loads of them. The ablitiy to cover most of the board at key points before jibba was able to was the plan. One could almost imagine cartel infiltrators disguised as Corba guards, working their way though air ducts and maintance tunnels to conduct the mother of rescue missions. Plus Police smgs would be perfect in close quarter fighting.
backing them up was Mishiam doomtroopers. with fighting this close I need a HTH edge plus the HMG would come to good use. Lastly agents for quick moving back up.
Jibba's plan it seems was to tie me up with freedoom marines as the assualt marines come in to finish the job.
not a bad plan but luckly my infiltrators thow a monkey wrench into that.
the board was set. Nick was in his cell at Jibbas side of the table.
within 2 turns I had a the Cartel Sarge free Nick and began to move him out.
Destro and his boys was to my left but would have few turns of movement before they became a issue. this allowed the Cartel police to work on the free marines and boy did they. It was a slaughter. where ever the marines moved there was squad police with their SMG screaming hot lead. when just about all free Marines were dead Destro and his elites finally make it to the fight
at first they were tough killing a cartel cop and a Doomtrooper (damn was looking forward to some HTH) but the tides changed quickly. Cops and agents droping just enough Assualt marines for Nick to make a run for destro. They go into HTH (but fails to hit
). right behind him though was the remaining doomtrooper. killing whats left of the assualt marines he turns to the Destro/Nick fight and at point blank range shot into HTH
wounding Nick once and wounding Destro twice.
and this point game over
Cartel wins.
Let me add my dice was hot and Jibbas dice were not. Dont think he made more then two AR saves the whole game.
all and all a quick fun bloody battle.
and NICK is BACK BABY YEAH!!!
