The six hueys weaved their way through the labyrinth of cliffs, caves and arches, the tense mood from before was lifted. One of the guys Gabriel Ramirez was regaling us with the story of one of the chicks he hooked up with in high school “And her sister walks in and says can I play too. Before I can say anything the chick I'm banging says yes. At this point I realized I stuck my dick in crazy and am a dead man either way so I grab my clothes not even bothering to put them on, open the window and then jump from the second floor and ran buck ass naked the fuck out of there.” Once the laughter died down the one of the guys on the M60s Tyson remarked “You got the worst luck when it comes to women Ramirez you know that.” Before he could retort the pilot butts in “Cut the chatter were almost there.” As FOB Quaritch came into view there was a deep pants shitting roar “Good to hear he’s still alive” commented one of the guys. “What was that and who are you talking about?” Questioned a terrified Jeff. “You’ll find out soon enough” was the only response. “Chopper 4 this is Chopper 6 the enemy is in the southern treeline as well as on the hilltop, suppress them while we and chopper 2 deploy troops.” “Got it Chopper 6 suppressing the treeline any location on Rhuook and his troop?” I tap the pilot on the shoulder and point to the moving shadows in the treeline on the hilltop to the east. “Never mind, we have a positive ID on Rhuook and his people. They are in the eastern treeline. I repeat, avoid firing on the eastern treeline.” “Copy that Chopper 4 we’ll avoid firing on the eastern treeline.” The cacophony of gunfire spewed from our chopper into the southern treeline led by Tyson and Johannes on the M60s. The clack of my Thompson was music to my ears as I layer fire into the treeline. “Copper 4 this is Chopper 6 you are cleared to deploy troops, I repeat you are cleared to deploy troops. We'll cover you while you drop your guys off.” “Is it over” whines Jeff and Ramirez answers “No. This is where the fun really begins.” Our huey barely touched down as we sprinted out of it. I turned to Jeff and said “Find a place to hide and stay there until it's over. Got it.” ''Got it” he replied as he ran off. With that moron dealt with I turned my attention to the more pressing matter: the Chinese platoon raining fire down upon us from the top of the hill. I hear the sound of a colt monitor and I turn and see Nunfucker one of the craziest mother fuckers here. “Good to see you again” he yells out over the gunfire “Good to see you too, what did I miss when I was topside?” “Nothing much just more of the same old same old, well besides Manfred’s band of merry band of dipshits saying that they found a way to awaken the ancient master race.” He says popping off to let off another burst. “And I already told you I got 5k on them being discount Pillar Men.” I reply, letting off a burst of my own weapon. “Let's finish this later, I got to rally those new bloods in the western side of the base” he says. “Alright, have you seen Rhuook anywhere, he should be dealing with the guys on the hilltop by now?” I ask just as another guttural roar rocks the jungle “Nevermind”. One by one the soldiers on the hilltop fell one by one and with the choppers bringing their full firepower to bear on the ones in the south this battle was all but over. As I relax I see Rhuook in the treeline and I motion to him that there is a civilian in the third building to the left of his position, Jeff’s hiding spot. “Did you really sic him on the civ Rabbit?” one of the older guys asked “Yes I did, that's what he gets for being a dumbass who got on the wrong chopper as well as annoying me.” I reply as another guttural roar bellows through the compound followed by a feminin scream the we assume came from Jeff and the Jeff himself running for his life while screaming “Evil wookie, evil wookie.” I trip him then grab him by the scruff of his collar and say to his blubbering face “First of all that is not a wookie that is Rhuook and he's an Orang Pendek otherwise known as a Rock Ape, third of all don’t call them wookies or all that will be left of you body is going to be a severed head that was tossed into camp. Comprende?” “Comprende” he says as a laughing Rhuook joins the group. Nunfucker comes up to us and says “I just got off the phone with Kilgore. The relief force should be here in five minuets to replace us and take us back to base so we can properly gear up for guarding those school kids. How many of them are there anyway?” “About 1200 if all of those aircraft are filled to capacity” I respond. “Oh shit that many. We’ll probably have to expand Clearwater Viginti Octo then.” Nunfucker replies. “Wait, I thought we only had 23 Clearwaters, now we're at 28? I was gone for two months when did this happen?” Nunfucker just chuckled and walked away. “Good to be back” I say as choppers arrive.
