As Jonny neared Echo, he turned to the boys and shouted 'Bail out now!' As they bailed out of the LAV, Jonny floored it and aimed it for the tank. Right before he hit the tank, he jumped out, the car exploded against the side of the tank. It didn't destroy it but it damaged it enough to scare it away. Jonny smiled an evil grin and said 'Here's Jonny mother f**kers!'

As he began to stand up, a scout came up behind Jonny and shot him in the back with a shotgun. Quickly he turned and blasted the scout before he could finish him off. Jonny was badly wounded and he ran towards a house. There he reloaded and prepared himself for a final stand.

He noticed he was not the only one on the ground as those in Junko's dropship had arrived seconds before him. Jonny still decided to hold up in the house. He turned on his comms and said 'In desperate need of reps. Located 30 meters north east of the objective inside the building. Heading to back door to secure location.'

As he turned around to go out the back door, two sentinels tailed by a logi with a six kin repair tool came in. One of the sentinels was Caldari, the other was an Amarr. 'Oh f**k me...'

Jonny knew he had only one chance to eliminate them. He hid around a corner and charged a flux grenade. He counted to three and loosed it. It hit it's target true and shattered the Caldari's shield, leaving him to die in a matter of seconds to Jonny's HMG.

The Amarr, on the other hand, was well fitted to withstand the effects of the Flux and a duel between armour heavies began. They strafed backed and forth, trying to gain the advantage over the other. Jonny was faster due to his rep mods but the Amarr was tankier and had constant reps. Jonny knew this would be the end, but he continued to fight.

In the end there was only two men standing in the corridor of the building. Jonny, with very little armor left and the logi who switch to his assault rail rifle. There was only a second of stillness, then they both fired.

In the end, Jonny laid on the ground. Body broken, armor destroyed. Death was creeping up on him. And as he laid there his mind took him on a trip into his past and he remembered. He remembered the lives he saved, and the lives he destroyed. He remembered the love that he gain and the love he lost. He remembered his brother, his father, and his daughter who hasn't seen since he became a clone.

A tear rolled down his cheek as he remembered all these things, though no one ever saw it underneath his helmet.

Then nothing.

Nothing but darkness. His clone had been terminated and he was shrouded by death. Time seemed to flow on endlessly. What would be a mere second to the living seemed like hours to Jonny. Then, midst the darkness, a light shown through. He smiled in the darkness and said 'Here we go again!'

Jonny woke near the objective. His armor repaired and his weapon in hand. He couldn't recall the darkness. But he remembered his death, and he remembered why he was fighting. And most importantly, he remembered how to kill.

"Hey Johnny, I got that Logi for you, but his friends came up from behind and got me." Raven told Johnny as he pulled his two Nova Knives out. "This skirmish is about to end, you still going to fight?" Raven yelled as he carved through a redberry.

Raven noticed the heavy standing before him, his gun starting to fire. "Well fu** me again." Raven charged the heavy burning slicing through the shields and armour with a single cut.

"Johnny, you seeing this?" Raven asked Johnny. Other mercenaries were being pulled out of the battle, with the exception of his squad. Raven watched the men and women disappear, wonder what was happening. The Mobile Command Centers were both leaving now.

"Junko, Blux, Hawk, Captain, meet Johnny and me in the center of the valley. Some strange sh*t happening here."

" Understood " said the Captain over comms
