"Phew...I thought we'd never get out of there..." Marshall said, wiping his forehead. "Yea...it was almost too close..." Rick said. The team was currently walking again, through a small town in Baghdad. "We've got to get to the checkpoint. There, we'll suit up, get supplies and rations, and reload, and after we'll go on ahead and wait for evac." The team saluted their Sergeant Major with a "Yes sir!" all in unison, and headed to the checkpoint.

A few hours later they arrived, to find the base totally trashed. Blood everywhere, and no survivors. There were bodies torn in half, brains, guts and suck everywhere. "I feel like we're in a horror film now...what the ******** happened here?" James asked, poking a body. "I don't know, but I've got a bad feeling we're not alone..." Grant replied. He just had this feeling, that there was something inhuman in this base. Rick sighed, so much for reloading and such. "In all my time in the military, I've never seen s**t like this." He said, wiping the blood off of his combat boots.

There was a loud shriek, like that of a banshee. "Look out!" Jay yelled, before being struck back by a weird looking monster. It had a deformed head, spewing acid out of its mouth. It had long claws and walked and ran on all fours. It's body was colored black, and it was wearing an army suit. "That's ******** up man!" Marshall said, shooting at it. It didn't seemed to be fazed by the bullets as it launched at him and grabbed onto him, easily clawing and ripping at his flesh. "Get it off!" He yelled. Grant acknowledged his cried and shot at it, making the thing turn to him and try and launch at him. Grant smirked and punched it..hard. It's faced dented in, a menacing crack heard. "Did I kill it?" He asked. But sadly, it wasn't dead, just really, really pissed. It launched at him again, only to be impaled by some weird metal object protruding from Grant's chest. "Is it dead now?" He asked. It was, and the team gathered around Grant. "Dude...what the hell is that?" Jay asked, poking the silver spike coming out of Grant's chest. As he poked it, it flexed like jello, and went back in his body. "Woah..." Grant murmured. "I've heard of this kind of thing from the others. You're one of those super soldiers." Rick said, which caused all of them to question in unison. "What's a super soldier?", "I think I can explain that.." A man in a suit said. He had black hair, and was dressed very formally, and armed only with a pistol. "Please...your transport is outside..." They nodded and followed the man to a helicopter.

"You five are very important." The man announced once in the air. "Sky Corp has recognized your talents...and are going to put them to good use. Welcome to the team boys, you're in the big leagues now..."
