Chapter 1
Febuary 2,2430 0630 Hours (Military Calendar) A Dropship landing on Huna III carring 1st Squad
"Okay Squad listen up, the 2nd platoon has to prepare a LZ for the upcoming invaision, you know what that means, kill 'em all, and blow all the other S*** out of the way" I said. A chorus of "Hell yeahs!" emerged. The Basic Marine was equpided with a M4, a 9mm berreta and 2 Fragmentation Grenades, While the basic rebel had an M1 Garand, an 9mm colt 1911, and 2 Frag Grenades. "30 seconds 'till drop" the pilot said.
We landed. The Doors Opened, "Hit it Marines!" I yelled. Unfortunatly, we happened to land right in the middle of an Excersise. I fired right at the middle of a Rebel Squad, I killed all of them before they even had a chance to fire back. A rebel got hit three times, and fell over. The smell of lead was in the air. I saw a Rebel come out of a nearby ditch with a Bazokaa, I quickly put a three-round burst into his head, when he fell over a stray rocket hit a Rebel Squad right next to him. "1st Squad into the ditch!" I yelled. They fellowed my command. Suddenly I heard someone in my Squad yell "Medic!!". It was Rambo, he had taken a bullet in the stomach. The Medic came and patched him up, and he fired the rest of his clip into another Squad trying to flank us.
We went through our clips, and there was a bunch of dead rebels who tried to fihgt and didn't suceed. By the time the battle was over there was 500 dead rebels and 7 wounded Marines. "1st Squad into the trees. We have to attack another base two kilometers away from here lets move". We fanned out into the forest, 30 minutes later we found a Rebel base with Anti-Aircraft guns. "God theres so many of 'em they'll destroy our dropships in seconds" David said. "well, we're just gonna have to destroy those guns" I said. "lets move" I said. We ran out of the forest into the trenches were the guns were. The crew wasn't there, so we just took our grenades and shoved them down the barrels of the AA guns. BOOM!!!!!. The guns were destroyed and the crew came out of the forest trying to find out what the hell was going on. They found my Squad and thats the last thing they ever saw.
