Chapter 1

Briefing... 

On March 21 Lieutenant Commander D. Francis was re-instated in the army. He was to lead the newly formed Black Ops Seals, a group of soldiers who were the best in the army. The base was located somewhere in the South Pacific on an island not far from Japan. The first few weeks they had gotten no assignments and they took the time to train more. 

Chapter 1: Peru in the night 

On July 3 the team got their first assignment, a tough one. They had to go to Peru and kill a dangerous rebel faction called "Free Peru". This faction was to be terminated because they had already caused the deaths of more than 5000 people.

At 2:15 in the night on July 4 the team headed to Peru. They were to arrive at approximately 5:30 in the night. The sun would go up at 8:12 in the morning, which gave them little time to move in and kill the rebels. They arrived at 5:31 on a deserted beach and quickly moved into the bushes and trees that were along the beach. Nobody had seen them coming in, how fortunate. Their target lay 27 kilometres east southeast, they started to move in. Thirteen minutes after they had arrived they were detected. The enemy shot a flare into the sky, lighting up their position, making it an impossible task to hide themselves. The only way out of this was to fight. A series of gunshots killed several enemy units, but the team had not fired them. They didn't know who did it and had no time to find out. They moved further into the jungle and found an abandoned cottage. After a few minutes of inspection they found out that this was an outpost from the rebel faction. The decision was made to leave the outpost for now. The further they got into the jungle the harder it was to move.

All of a sudden one of the men screamed and fell down on the ground. He had been bitten by a snake and was to die unless he was brought to a hospital. Two men would bring him back to the base, one who had medical experience and one who was strong enough to carry the wounded soldier. The rest continued to the rebel base. After an hour they could see the rebel base, they had to move quickly now. Two guards were patrolling around the base, two of the seals took their throwing knives and threw them at the guards. They fell to the ground and died without making a sound. The two seals quickly went to the bodies, took their knives and moved the bodies into the bushes. After a minute three guards walked along the path and they were also killed. The seals moved towards what seemed to be the command tent. One of the seals accidentally activated a trap, a siren could be heard and seconds later all the searchlights went on. The seals hid behind some barrels and waited. Luckily a squirrel ran across the base and the rebels blamed it for the alarm. Though the searchlights were still on, the rebels seemed to go ahead with their own business. After a few minutes the searchlights went off. The seals moved into an empty tent where they found plans for the construction of a missile silo and an ICBM, probably a nuclear one. How could the rebels have gotten those plans? But that wasn't the strangest thing, no the strangest thing was the fact that the plans contained the logo of the CIA. What would the CIA do with plans for a missile silo and ICBM? 

The seals heard people coming and hid again. Two persons walked into the tent, one of them seemed to wear the uniform of a general. The two were looking at the plans and did not pay attention to their backs. Two seals slowly walked up to the soldiers from the back and before they knew it their throats were slid. The seals moved the dead bodies and left the tent from the back. They hid behind some barrels and when a two-men patrol came along they killed them. The seals wanted to move on but there was an explosion to the north of their position, they had to stay here for a while. Two tents caught fire and most of the base personnel moved towards the fire to help extinguish it. This was a perfect opportunity for the seals to take them out. Five seals stood up and threw hand grenades towards the rebels. Most of them were killed and the rest was too wounded to do anything. The seals shot several rebels who were still alive. The base personnel that weren't killed in the explosion started to shoot at the seals, the seals shot back. Half of the remaining rebels were killed before the first seal was. One of the rebels threw a grenade towards the seals, they ran as fast as they could while still shooting at the rebels. Another seal was killed and it looked like they were all going to die. The seals hid behind a truck and fought back, killing the remaining forces without losing one of their own. They had succeeded but dawn had come and they could not move until it was night again. With the risk of more rebels coming they gathered all the weapons they could carry and moved to the outpost they had seen on their way to the base. They waited what was to come, and after a few hours it came. 

A group of rebels had come to investigate the outpost, the seals quickly took defensive positions. At first the rebels didn't notice that the outpost was taken over by the seals, but when they fired the first shots it became clear enough to them. Bullets flew all over the place and most of the surrounding trees and plants were destroyed. The outpost sustained heavy damage before the last rebel was taken out. The seals knew that this place could fall apart any time now, so they moved closer to the beach. After a few more hours of waiting it finally became dark. The seals went to the beach, one of them made radio contact with the base and the others constructed a raft. After two hours a boat arrived offshore, this was their ride home. They quickly took the raft and peddled towards the boat. When they got close, gunshots were fired right in front of them. This wasn't their ride, this was a patrol boat from the rebels. The patrol boat moved towards them but before it got to them it exploded. Their boat had come and had shot at the rebel boat. The sea was lit with a red glow.

After five hours the were back at they base and were debriefed. They told their commander about the missile silo, the ICBM and the CIA logo. Their commander told them not to pay any attention to it. They didn't.
