[b]Chapter Twenty[/b]
The cold air of the Ko-Rudo region sent the hairs on Zane's neck spiking. Luckily, he had his Phoenix armour on, which made him warmer. Falk had put on a pair of ski pants, boots, a long white camo jacket and he also wore a white hoodie underneath which he put over his white toque. He was hard to see from a distance, that much he was sure of. The two sat behind rocks that were covered in snow. The road was down the mountain and ahead of them. They had driven the rover off the road a mile back, so it wouldn't be found. The road ahead of them was straight, but then curved around the mountain on their right. However on the left side of the road, there was only a drop. If vehicles were to drive through the road here, they would be caught between a drop and a mountain. However some ways down the left of the road, the mountains were very close to one another and a path seemed to make its way up the mountain opposite of Zane and Falk.
"Hey." Falk whispered to Zane. "That thing still has the camouflage right?"
[spoiler]for Zane. [/spoiler]

"It's should yeah, let me check. Alfred, activate cloaking" Zane suddenly became completely invisible, with only a faint shimmer showing where he was. "Guess you have your answer, although if they have infrared then they'll see me straight away."
-
"Right. That being said it's cold out. If they had infrared on all they are gunna be seeing is black. So we should be okay." Falk said as he began to look around. "Ugh...she's gotta be around here somewhere right? Where would she set up..."
-
Edited by SDK Zane: 4/25/2017 9:56:27 PM"My guess is higher up, perhaps at an advantage point? I'd image she'd want to scout ahead."
-
"That's sound." Falk agreed as he looked up at the mountains. "But where...?" Zane then heard something. Vehicles, it sounded like and a lot of them.
-
"Shit, we got cars heading our way. We should wait for them to pass, or maybe try hijacking one?"
-
"We can't hijack one." Falk said. "Even if it's the truck with the bomb. Our goal is to find Anne. Anything else we can worry about later!" Zane saw a massive convoy come into view. There was a tank, right in front of the dozens of cars that traveled in a line. The tank was painted white and camouflaged, but he could see its massive gun making its way towards the chokepoint of the mountain. There were four jeeps behind it, then a large armour plated semi-trucks. Then, another six jeeps, and finally another tank behind the convoy. "Oh man..."
-
"Geez, that seems a bit overkill.....Think we could follow them?"
-
"Ya. If Anne doesn't strike here. I mean look at the damn place. They can drive forward, into the mountain or off it. It's a perfect ambush set up. I would've set up here if I was planning an ambush. And I'm betting on that she's planning the same thing." The vehicles entered the chokepoint now. Falk crouched down a little more as he looked around still. "Damnit where is she?"
-
"She's waiting for the perfect time to strike, just wait a little bit longer...."
-
"Ya. Okay." Falk agreed as the convoy made its way further down the road. Then, the tank in front stopped. "They stopped." Falk commented. "...why?"
-
"I'd your patient and quite maybe we'll live long enough to find out!"
-
Falk went quiet as he observed the tank. It didn't move at all, it just remained where it was. One of the jeeps honked its horn, but the tank still didn't move. So, two men got out of the front of the first jeep. Another man rolled down the window and stuck his head out from the jeep behind the first. "Hey?! What's the hold up?!" The man yelled to the two men closest to the tank "We're going to go check it out smart one!" One of the soldiers yelled back. The two men approached the tank and knocked on its white coloured armour. After a moment, they did it again. Now, they both climbed up on the treads and approached the hatch on top. The first soldier climbed down and disappeared from view, followed closely by the second man. After a minute the tank still didn't move.
-
"Huh, you thinking what I'm thinking old friend?"
-
"No...no I'm not." Falk told Zane as he turned his head to Zane. More guards hopped out of their jeeps and approached the tank. Their guns unslung. Four approached the tank and two climbed atop it. Both of them aimed their weapons down the hatch before they made their way down.
-
Edited by SDK Zane: 4/27/2017 8:37:28 PM"Well let me tell you then. I think Anne is the one driving that tank, and we should be ready to assist her."
-
Falk raised an eyebrow as he looked at the tank. "Nooooo. How would she get in the tank? She would have to infiltrate a compound, figure out how to drive it-" Suddenly the tank's gun turned around and pointed at the jeeps. It hastily fired, and the first jeep was sent flying into the second which exploded and then the reaction resulted in the third to be set aflame and go off itself. Soldiers pooled out of their vehicles as they began to fire at the tank. The Bullets they shot harmlessly rebounded off its hull. Meanwhile, Falk was wide eyed at the sight. "You...may have a point." Falk admitted. He suddenly jumped over their cover and began to run down the slope towards the soldiers at the back of the pack recklessly.
-
Zane hopped up and followed him, tossing grenades at the army. "Eat shrapnel you bastards!"
-
"Good one!" Falk yelled as the grenades went off, which sent four men to the ground. Falk pulled his guns from his coat and jumped onto the road, shooting two soldiers in the head as he landed. He bashed another soldier into the truck and shot him in the stomach. "Oh shit! It's Zane!" One of the soldiers yelled as him and three others close to the tank knelt down and fired their assault Rifles at Zane.
-
An Ornate Longsword formed in his hand along with a 9mm handgun, and as he fired he sliced the bullets in half. "That's right, now face your death like a man!"
-
"AH!" The soldier let out with a bit of a squeal as he continued to fire. Then, the tank aimed to the right and fired. This explosion took out all of the vehicles in front of the armoured truck... And sent Zane flying back from the explosion and into the mountain face.
-
"Son of a-" He was cut off as he hit the rock, and had the air knocked out of him as he fell to the ground. He groaned as he got back up, and multiple bundles of C4 formed in his hands. "You'll really regret that...."
-
Falk ran over to Zane after he fired at the last man who was aggravated on him. "Hey?! You okay?" He asked as he quickly turned and fired on one of the soldiers. There were only a few left.
-
"Yeah I'm good. Can you provide covering fire while I go blow up the tank that shot me?"
-
"Didn't you JUST say Anne could be in there?!" Falk asked almost angrily as he fired at a few of the soldiers that took cover behind the broken jeeps. The tank gun turned in the soldiers direction.
-
"Well that thought went out the window WHEN I GOT SHOT!" He yelled angrily.
