Lights Out: The 10 Übermensch

Day 2,928, 10:13 Published in USA USA by ResouIa

Lights out. Explosions rumbled in the distance and the atmosphere shook the plane as it approached the destination over Thai airspace. The Dark Knight came into vision as the inside of the plane lit up in red. “Just another day.” He said, scanning the faces of his comrades who stood before him, waiting for the green light. “$100 combat orders have been placed in Bangkok for all divisions. The US has launched its assault. Battle Heroes so far are given to the following MUs. Div 1 to War Inc. Div 2 to EZC. Div 3 to VMA-214. Div 4 to USAF. The US is winning D4 and D1. The Thai are winning D2 and D3.”

The cargo bay door began to open and wind funneled into the plane. Everyone hit the on switch on their helmets which turned on communication systems and an overlay of the battlefield with all necessary information. The sound of explosions in the distance were much louder now as the plane grew very close to the battlefield.

“Let’s give them a taste of what we’ve got boys.” The Dark Knight said as he peered out over the edge of the open hatch. “Let’s show them who we are and what we’re made of!” He grinned enthusiastically, picking his gun up out of a bag on the floor next to him. “We are the ten!”

“The 10 Ubermensch!” They all cheered. The red lights turned green and TDK shouted, “Let’s show them how real fighters do it! Go go go!”

They all jumped from the plane one by one. Flak explosions bit at the sky all around them as they hurtled down towards the earth.

“Prepare to pull chutes!” TDK yelled over comms. “Five…four…three…two…one…pull now!”

The ten of them pulled the strings to the parachutes and descended down into the raging battlefield.
TugAvenger and Sheldon landed on the same rooftop. Together they unclipped from their chutes and then looked off the edge of the rooftop to see many D1 infantry locked in a firefight in a mall across the street.

“You go in; I’ve got your back from up here.” Sheldon set up at the edge of the roof with his machine gun

“Oh so I have to go get shot at with the grunts while you get the easy targets?” TugAvenger squinted.

“CP medal privileges.” Sheldon smiled, “Now go.”

TugAvenger sighed as he descended from the rooftop to the street level and took cover behind a car.

“I’ll clear your way in.” Sheldon said over comms. He gazed through the iron sights of his gun and acquired a target out of the many Thai troopers that had surrounded the mall. He fired a single shot which penetrated the skull of the nearest Thai trooper.

“Up there!” A Thai trooper shouted, but it was too late. Sheldon went fully automatic and begun tearing through all the Thai troops on the street. One by one they fell. Shot as they stood to fire, killed as they tried to change cover, and caught in explosions as Sheldon got the perfect shot on the car they used for cover.

In all the chaos, TugAvenger rushed across the street and into the mall with semi-automatic shotgun in hand and jumped through the glass doors that the Thais had locked behind them to try to keep the American forces trapped inside. He was met by the surprised stares of a squad of Thai troopers. Once they realized who he was they raised their rifles and fired.

TugAvenger never lost the momentum of his run. He fired right into the torso of the nearest enemy and slid across the floor as they began firing at him. He fired again at a soldier who had a perfect shot at him, blasting the gun right out of his hands, and his hands right off of his arms. He ducked quickly behind a pillar and pulled the pin on a grenade. With a blind toss it bounced off the face of an approaching Thai soldier and exploded on the ground in front of him, sending him flying back into his comrades and knocking them all to the floor.

Meanwhile, Aragorn II stood in the midst of a street with assault rifle in hand. Bodies littered the street in front of him and American troops charged forward around him.

“Nice work!” A passing by soldier referred to those same many corpses in front of him.

Aragorn charged forward with the American soldiers to the next set of barricades set up by the Thai forces. He switched to the grenade launcher slung under his rifle and shot a high explosive round behind one of the barricades, sending three Thai soldiers flying out of their position.

He rushed over the barricade and straight towards an enemy car with an MG mounted on top. The MG turned to face him as he shot a smoke grenade in between him and the car. The MG opened fire into the smoke until its clip was spent and then waited in silence for the smoke to clear to see if they got him.

Once the smoke cleared they saw nothing remained. Then Aragorn showed himself. He had flanked around and jumped up onto the car from behind. He filled the gunner and driver with bullets and then shouted to the advancing American forces, “Forward!”

The D3 members of the Ubermenschen split into two teams. Prickett Faco and Azo both currently took cover behind some sand bags where they had just wiped out an entire squad of Thais all by themselves. An armed infantry transport was laying heavy suppressive fire on them with its main cannon and an MG mounted on top.

Wooky Jack and AlexJ both took position on the roof a building overlooking the transport as they scanned the streets. “Bad news guys.” Wooky said to the Pricketts over comms. “They’ve got a tank incoming.”

“You two take care of the tank!” Prickett Faco shouted over the gunfire. “We’ll handle the transport!”

“On it.” Wooky said as he pulled an RPG off of one of the dead Thais that were defending the roof before they got there. “I’ll disable it, you mop up.” He said to Alex.

Alex nodded, running back to the staircase to prepare himself.

Wooky waited until the tank was in sight of the transport and fired, landing a critical blow that disabled the turret of the tank. When the tank crew began to climb out, AlexJ waited for them with a submachine gun in hand.

“Greetings from Uncle Sam!” He exclaimed as he fired his full clip into the open hatch of the tank, slaughtering everyone inside.

The infantry transport began to turn its guns on AlexJ, who quickly took cover behind the tank.

Prickett Azo and Faco rushed up to the transport as fast as they could. Faco jumped on top and shot the machine gunner right in his skull before jumping off while Azo planted C4 onto the side. The transport’s gun followed them around and aimed right at the doorway of a building in which they entered to take cover. Azo hit the detonator and blew the transport sky high while Wooky and AlexJ cheered.

Sucateir and The Dark Knight stood on the top of the state tower which literally towered above all the buildings around it. Sucateir had set up a mortar and was raining hell on the streets below with TDK calling out targets for him.

“Captain!” Aragorn shouted over comms. “You’ve got a helicopter inbound to the state tower! Radio traffic on this dead Thai’s setup says it’s coming to stop the mortar rain.”

“Roger on that.” TDK turned to Sucateir. “You distract it. I’ll take it down.”

“On it.” Sucateir ran and took cover behind the dome on the tower and awaited the helicopter.

As the helicopter drew inbound Sucateir opened fire with his assault rifle. The shots bounced off the armor but it successfully drew attention. He rushed across the roof and led it to the most open side.

It tilted forward towards the roof and began opening fire with its cannon.

Sucateir tossed his rifle onto the ground and pulled out a grappling hook from his belt. He rushed back around the dome, attached it to the railing and hopped off, kicking into a window below him.

The helicopter followed Sucateir and began to lower down in altitude to get a good shot on the level that he jumped into.

TDK who had been hiding behind the dome jumped off the roof and landed on the front of the helicopter. He pulled out a desert eagle that had a sticker on it reading, “Ubermensch”. He aimed it right at the pilot and pulled the trigger. “Lights out.”
