As was the MO for the morning,I woke to Adelind nuzzling me.

"Good morning my love,she said softly.

"Good morning to you too",I said licking her. I looked around,Dusk,Helix Tyson and Kayel were still asleep,but Ace was nowhere to be found.

"Can you guess where he is,Adelind asked.

"With his female",I said smiling.

I stood up and stretched out,lowering my front end to the ground like a cat,and spreading my paws out. I did this for a few minutes,the entire time,Adelind's eyes were glued to me.

"Sometimes,I said licking her,i wish you woludn't stare at me like that."

"I can't help it,she said defending her actions,you know I can't."

I laughed as I lay back down,stretching my legs out as far as I could. The door clicked open and Shadow walked in.

"You have GOT to stop spying on us,I said sarcastically,don't you have your own mate?"

"Keep your paws and your eyes off of mine."

Adelind laughed as she licked me.

"No I was not spying on you,Shadow said,I just came by to get you Tyro,Nolan has a job for you."

"I'm on my way,I said huffing.

I exited the barracks and walked toward's the command tent,Adelind with me. When we entered the command building,the others were gathered around. Ator and Val were talking to Sozenn about becoming fathers(i have no idea why they didn't come to me). Hudson and the humans were sitting at a round table,preforming maintenance on their weapons. Tesselth was leaning against Syralth,who had his arm around her,studding maps.

Hunter greeted us,"So you got her involved in this too now huh?" He asked a little surprised.

"Just the briefing",Adelind said,"I won't be going on the missions."

Nolan walked in from the back.

"Is all of Raven here,he asked.

"Yes sir,I said,we are ready to begin."

"I take it you are Tyro,Raven's acting commanding officer?"

"Yes sir,I said. This is Adelind,my mate,Hunter and his daughter,Mnerloth,Syralth and his mate Tesselth,Ator,Sozenn,Valstrath,Hudson,Trent,Wyatt,Issac and Logan,I said introducing the others.

"There is also Vezoth,but she's pregnant at the moment and I don't want her in harm's way."

"I understand,Nolan said,now,down to business."

"We have a principle level search,rescue and destroy mission." "One of our informants has been captured by US forces,we have reason to believe he is being held here."

Nolan pulled up a map,it showed many,old,decrepit houses,as well as a warehouse that looked like it had been put up recently.

"This is an old city in Russia,Nolan said,the Russian's gave it to the US to use as a sign of trust." "It's been converted into a supply stop. Two day's ago,our AC-130 over the area took this picture.

Nolan threw a picture of several men unloading crates from Deuces.

"The crates contain 5,000 rounds each of DK ammo.

I shivered,and so did everyone else,everyone except for Adelind.

"What's DK ammo,she asked curiously.

"It's ammo made specifically to kill dragon's.I said turning to her,it works by shattering you scales,and then exploding inside of you."

Adelind shivered,"Ouch".

"Yeah,I said,it's not pleasant."

"How many crates were there,Tess asked.

"500,Nolan said.

"Damn,Sozenn said,that's around two and a half million rounds of DK."

"That translates to a lot of innocent dragons that are going to die painful deaths if you don't ruin the cache,Nolan said.

"The mission is this,Nolan said producing more pictures.

"Tyro,you and your team are going to go in quietly."

"Once inside the perimeter,you'll have three objectives. One retrieve the informant,two destroy the cache of DK ammo,three gather any intel you can." "Anything you can get will help in our search to locate the DK production facility." "How you execute the objectives,is up to you Tyro,but I strongly suggest you make destruction of the DK ammo top priority." "A lot of innocent dragons will die if that chche is allowed to exist." "Be advised,the area is crawling with Draco RDS forces."

"Understood sir,I said,when do we go?"

"Six hours,Nolan said,ready your gear and be back here."

Six hours later

Night had fallen,and the temperature with it. I could feel myself shiver with the cold. Our footsteps were muffled by the thick layer of snow that had fallen in the past hour. Taro,Mnerloth and I crept up on the guards. There were three of them,two in the back room,playing chess,the other,asleep on the job. Slowly,so as not to stir him,I lowered myself to the ground,getting ready to pounce. With one swift motion,I pounced. Taking him out of the chair and pining him under my weight. I snarled,locking my maw around his neck and tearing his throat out before he had a chance to scream. There was a very light scuffle as Taro and Mnerloth finished the other two guards. Once again,only the sounds of the wind high in the clouds was audible in the dark Russian winter night. Taro and Mnerloth came out of the hut,Mnerloth had her AR-15 on a hair trigger and Taro had his fangs bared.

"Clear,Taro said,let's move."

We crept along the side of the mountain,coming to a hill that over looked the small,vacant town. Lights and the smell of cooking meat drifted on the smoke that many of the chimneys carried. Moving lights filled the streets and I could just barely make out some lively chatter. All this told me one thing,the town was occupied. There were foot steps behind us,we tuned,rifle and fangs ready,to see our human and dragon friends walk out of the woods,dressed in white uniforms,with grey leaf designs covering them. The white Strike Force Raven symbol clung to their shoulders. The laser pointers and NV goggles they carried made them seem as if they weren't human,but something much more sinister. Hudson and the other's dropped down onto the cliff and we crept down into the town. On the outskirts,we stopped to scan the area.

"Four hostiles with sub machine guns,two with M4's,the rest are armed only with hand guns."

"Chance's are everyone of them is packing DK ammo",I said to the others.

Ator shivered "Good thing there are plates over my scars."

Ator,as you know,had been impaled by a ten foot long wooden spike during the raid on the Russian safe house. It had gone through his stomach,left lung and riped off a part of his kidney. It was only the work of a very skilled Vet that had saved him from a slow and painful death. Any contact,even the lightest touch,on the scars made him collapse with pain. Morphine has since proven itself to be very ineffective at stopping it.

"Split off,I said,Ator,you Hunter and I will approach the warehouse. "Trent,you,Tess,Hudson and Syralth will kill power to the village. "Logan and Sozenn" Wyatt,Val and Rolland will give cover as you secure the informant." "Mnerloth,have you and Taro secured exfill?"

"We can see the helo now",Taro called back,"just cleaning house."

"You've got thirty minutes before this place turns into a lead storm,I called,hurry it up."

"Rodger,Taro called,will do."

We split off,Ator hunter and I approached the warehouse. We were just by the back door to the warehouse when a single guard blocked the entrance. He started dialing his cell phone and began to speak.

"Hey honey,he said,how are you doing with the kids?"

Hunter went for his knife,I sank my teeth into his wings,pulling him back into the shadows between a house and the warehouse.

"What the hell was that for,Hunter asked inspecting the bite on his wing.

"He has a family,I said,we wait for him to move."

"I'm not a dragon,the guard said appearing in the alley,his hands raised,his weapon on the ground in front of him to show he had no intention of raising an alarm,"but my ears do work."

Hunter grabbed him by his black vest and threw him against the wall,pressing his Glock to his throat.

"I know,the guard said,explain myself or die,let me save you the trouble,my name is Alex Scott,I'm a resistance spy."

He pulled up his sleeve,revealing the Draconian Resistance symbol tattooed on his arm.

"Are you the one wev'e been sent to retrieve?" Hunter asked holstering his Glcok.

"No,Alex said taking up his M4,he's in prison right now,and he's going to be put to sleep.

"No he's not,I said,Alex,can you get into the prison in say,the next five minutes?"

"Not undetected,Alex said,the place is crawling with guards,and I'm under suspicion as it is."

"Hudson,I called,where are you guys?"

"Coming on the generator now."

Hudson,I want you to split off the team and go to the prison,an inside man will meet you there."

"Understood",Hudson called.

"Tyro,right,Alex asked. In each crate,there is a manifest,it says where the box of ammo came from,two or three should be enough to pinpoint the factory."

"Got it,I whispered as we moved into the warehouse.

I had known there was a large cache of DK ammo,but I hadn't known it was as big as it was. The crates were stacked celing high. Each crate contained 5,000 rounds...there had to be at least six times as many crates.

Hunter's face turned to horror,"That's a lot of DK ammo,he said stunned.

"And it translates to a lot of innocent dragons and humans dying in World War Three,I said,we are gonna blow this stuff sky high."

I had brought with me high explosive rounds for my 105,rather than the heavier kinetic ones I usually carry.

"Follow my lead",i said dropping three of the twenty rounds I was carrying.

On my orders,my team pryed open the crates and retrieved the manifests. I then had Ator,who for some reason,knew more about explosives than the best demolition's expert,show Hunter how to rig my 105 shells with the C4 to set them off. We then gathered a few barrels of gas,arranged them in a circle,with gaps between them so it would not direct the force upward,and set the three 105 bombs in the middle.

"It's my best work ever,Ator said stepping back,It makes me cry to have to blow it up."

"Ther'll be other giant bombs Ator,I said with a smile,come on,let's get this job done,my mate is waiting for me."

Ator and Hunter permitted themselves hushed laughs at my remark as we sunk out of the warehouse.

"Evac secured,Taro called,five minutes out."

"Good,I said,the fun is about to start."

HVI secured,Alex called,he's in rough shape,he needs medical attention ASAP."

"Waiting on your go,Mnerloth called.

"Kill the power".

The lights in the town clicked off all at once with a buzzing sound. The chatter that had previously fill the streets went quiet.

"Blow it,i said.

Ator brought his paw down on the detonator on his vest. The warehouse went up in a ball of smoke as the three 105 rounds,plus the C4,plus the gas,and all the ammo,went off at once.

Ator coludn't keep back his laugh,"I love my job,he laughed,I love it so much."

The humans were running about,trying to put out the inferno raging in the warehouse while dodging the needle tipped ammo as it flew in all directions. Then the gunfire started.

"Well they know were here now",Hudson called as his FAL cracked over the radio.

MG trucks began to pull up,at least six of them,all focused in Hudson and Alex. It had dawned on me that we,as well as Trent and his team,were concealed from the enemy. I sighted in one of the MG trucks and widened my stance to brace myself against the recoil.

"Cover your ears Hunter,Ator said,Tyro's 105 is on steroids."

Hunter and Ator put their paws to their ears as I let my weapon ring. The round left the barrel at a mile a second. Smashing into the MG truck and sending it at least thirteen feet in the air.

"Holy shit,Hunter said,makes sense though,big dragon,bigger gun."

"Rolland,Val,Wyatt,put some fire on those humans."

"Willco,they called back. A 20mm LRR,a Barrett M82A1 Anti-Materiel Rifle and a long barreled SCAR-H rang in the distance. Humans dropped left and right.

"Where is it all coming from,one of the humans shouted.

"It's the Draconian Resistance,another yelled.

"But they've never hit so hard before,another called back,it can't be them!"

"Hudson,I called over the radio,can you and Alex get out the back way?"

"Yes,he screamed over the crack of his OSW,but you have to put some fire on those MG trucks!"

"Tyro,Taro called,were thirty second's out with evac!"

"Hurry the hell up,I said loudly,it's getting too hot!"

The air was filled with a loud hum as Ator spooled up his Gatling gun and ripped into the MG trucks,Hunter did the same with his M60,and I began to let off round after round from my 105. The helo touched down just to our right side.

"All teams,I called put your fire on the MG trucks,give Hudson and Alex some breathing room!"

My friends guns rang out as the MG trucks were shredded under our lead storm. As fast as we could,Ator,Hunter and I sprinted toward the helo. Making the helo just as it was lifting off. We were all panting. The light of the cabin stung my eyes,that had become used to the darkness. Once my sight cleared up,I got a good look at Alex. He appeared to be in his mid thirties. He had short brown hair and a well kept goatee that suited his green eyes perfectly.He was dressed all in black,as most soldiers nowadays do,with a grey helmet strapped to his head. Despite the sub zero climate,I could see the sweat running down his red face. Laying on the floor in the back of the chopper,was the HVI. He was a skinny,jungle dragon,who looked like a cross between Sozenn and Ator. He was fast asleep,and snoring lightly. He was young too,I'd say around ten or eleven. I lay down and put my head between my paws. I was exhausted and fell asleep shortly after. I was stirred an hour or so later by the helo touching down at Romeo.

"Come on Tyro,Ator said,our females are waiting."

I smiled and laughed as I stood up. Adelind and the kids,as well as Shadow greeted me as I stepped off the chopper. The warm air of Romeo was a far cry from where we had just come,and when it hit my scales,it made me sweat. Adelind rubbed my muzzle and I rubbed her back. It was nice to be home.
