"Operaters we have a emergency situation" The voice of harry said to the gathered members of Rainbow, opening a slideshow. Images of a red and blue cargo ship with big blocks letters painted on the side naming it "Dragov". international and Russian flags flew from the mast showing it origin. More photos appear as harry clicks the mouse, Armed personal patrolling the boat complete with mounted Machine gun positions and a Helicopter Gunship sitting on the helipad. All of the Mystery soldires had there fac"At 400 hours the "USS Nevada" received a distress transmission from the "Dragov" Claiming they where under attack by pirates, in response the "USS Nevada" sent a Team of sailors and a unmanned aircraft to survey and assist the "Dragov" this is the footage." Harry said playing a video, a feed from the drone.
The drones camera raises and focuses on the ship as it approaches, a large plume of smoke coming from the end of the ship where the burning wreckage of the helicopter sat, the video zooming in onto the deck where dozens of the unkown soldiers lay in pools of Blood. The camera zooms out to show a group of 8 Frendlies, blue Mark's over them as they come riding towards the ship.
There boat is suddenly engulfed in flames, a trail of white smoke coming from the deck where two men stood. One held onto a Advanced looking Rocket launcher while the other held binoculars. Both where dressed similarly to eachother, grey jackets and Jean's there faces obscured by white mask. As the drone passes over to the front end it reveals a active gunfight, the White mask gunning down the ships personnel and guards.
The camera angles itself up, revealing the bridge where the doors are blown open, a group of white mask charging in and gunning the crew down. The captain is grabbed restrained by two men while a third approaches, this one dressed differently.
The new stranger wore all black combat gear, shrapnel guards on his arms and a heavy vest along with shrapnel guards on his thighs and shins. A Black ballistic mask covered his face and he held a MK-48 LMG. The drone angled itself for a clearer picture of the masked man before he was outlined in red and big letters flashed next to him "HIGH RISK TARGET"
The stranger looks at the captain before shooting him twice In The chest and once more in the head once he fell over. The stranger looked to the sky at the drone before the camera feed went black and Alerts for offline systems began flashing.
"The man on the bridge has been confirmed as Chimera, a Commander in the white mask terrorist group. Rumor is that hes the second founder but theres nothing to prove it. Operaters this guy can not be let go, if he escapes hes going to go completely silent and we lose our chance." Harry said.
"Now Theres been confirmed use of the CBX Gas compound aboard the ship so here's the mission, Ash, thermite, Thatcher blitz and IQ will make up the assault team, with Glaz and Lion on supporting recon. Your job is to locate the bombs planted on the ship, and Regain control of the Ships bridge"
"Doc, Mute, Echo, Ela and Caveira will be our Defending team, your job is to confirm the integrity of the ships engines, Secure and Deactivate the Bombs and Recover any survivors, Ace and Jäger will be standing by with Medical Evac. Operaters good luck and happy hunting."

Aboard the "Dragov" Chimera stood on the bridge, eyes scanning the top deck, watching his men pick up corpses and toss them overboard while some others pushed crates towards the helipad, which was slowly being cleaned of its former occupant.
"Chimera! We need back up in the crew quarters, the remaining ship personnel have barricaded and armed themselves." Chimer looked at his radio and sighed softly picking it up.
"This is Chimera, have you tried the Access tunnels?"
"....I have a squad on the move sir" Chimera set his radio back down before turning to a white mask Captain, marked by the yellow stripes on his mask and armband.
"Captain what's the situation on our targets"
"The crates are ready to be loaded once the helipad is clear and the chopper arrives, the Top, third and second decks are under control but the crew Quarters, engine room and the bottom of the ship are either empty or barricaded." Chimera hummed in response and the captain scratched his thigh nervously.
"Have something to say captain?" Chimera asks as A man dressed very similarly to him walked in, black mask covered with dozens upon dozens of scratches and cuts, holding a M870.
"Umm....Permission to speak freely?"
"Mhmm"
"I'm just wondering sir, why go through this effort when we could've secured our targets when they got to the port easily, but this is the most effort...sir" the captain said and Chimera turned to him.
"Well captain it's simple. Where sending a message" The black mask hands Chimera a small tablet showing a Apache Helicopter flying towards them.
"Take it out of the sky" the black mask salutes before disappearing out the door. Chimera looks back out the bridge window clasping his hands behind his back. From the bow of the ship multiple rockets flew, the Apache hitting a hard left while flares shot out, taking the rockets off target and fired with it's own, hitting the hull, and blowing a hole in the front.
Chimera watched as instead of switching to machine guns the chopper whipped around, fleeing to the USS Nevada. His cold eyes watched it retreat before Turning to the captain.
"Get a squad to check the damages"
"Yessir" the captain saluted and turned to the radio operater relaying orders.
"Here it is, the calm before the storm. Hope your prepared rainbow"

Chapter one: Dawn of Change
....
Ela wouldn't consider herself the biggest fan of the ocean, while it contained so much beauty it also had its downsides. It was hard and annoying to fight in, you had to be constantly moving and she had to wear the skintight wet suit that she wasnt a fan of. Her face was obscured by a Scuba rebreather and she held her scorpion as her and the other rainbow operaters swam towards the gaping hold in the ship caused by the Apache.
As they grew closer they could see movement in the ship along with flames and as everyone waited for a opportunity Caveira suddenly darted her arm straight up before pulling a white mask into the water, his Jean and thick grey jacket becoming instantly soaked and so much heavier. The mask let go of his rifle, squirming around trying to loosen caves death grip on him before he slwoly quit thrashing, air bubbles escaping behind his mask as his body began sinking.
Thatcher gave a quick nod to cav before a thumbs up telling the others to enter. Thermite and ash went first two suppressed gunshot echoing before two bodies where thrown into the water through the hole and Ela pulled one out of the way, blood making the water red.
Thatcher blitz and iq entered and there was a few moments of suppressed gunshots before some one flashed a thumbs up from the ship. With a big breath Ela climbed into the ship, immediately discarding her oxygen tank and flippers, and stacked up behind Thatcher as they waited for the others.
Cav climbed up next pulling off her Scuba gear and setting them with the others before messily throwing on her Warpaint. Echo came next, muttering about having to go swimming and slinging his MP5SD to the ready position.
"Alright, here's the plan, Where going to locate the bombs, once we have the locations well tell you. Doc take your team to the engine room in the meantime, remember suppressors on we cant let them know where here yet." Ash said as the Frenchman emerged from the water mute following suit.
"Copy that, let's move cav see if you and echo can get to the security room undetected, having those cams will help us" Doc said checking his P90 while mute racked his M5S01 Shotgun.
"Roger, let's go" Cav and echo disappeared into the ship while the attackers moved ahead, pushing to there Mission. Ela checked her weapon and nodded to doc. The trio begun to move, moving throughout the depths of the ship, On guard and alert at every noise or movement of the ship. The ship rocked constantly, from either the oceans mighty waves or the Explosions and gunshots from the upper decks.
"Operaters be careful, you have white mask inbound" Echo said through the radio, and Ela looked down to see a Yokai drone come through the door. Mute secured the drone before doc pointed to a group of metal pipes and crates. With no words they hid, Ela taking a spot behind a larg pipe while dock and mute set up behind a crate, mute placing a jammer with a nod.
Sure enough a group of white mask stepped in, two with M4 Carbines one with a M870 and another wielding a M249. The machine gunner stayed by the door on the slightly elevated platform looking over the are while the other moved slowly carefully looking around boxes and Crates. Elas pointer flinger slipped down to her weapons safety before flicking it off and raised it to line up with a mask with hi back turned.
Mute set down Echos Yokai and the drone immediately flew up to the ceiling, going invisible but making a metallic clank. The mask immediately looked up and Ela took her chance shooting mask, the hot 9mm casings clattering to the ground getting the Machine gunners attention before echos yokai blasted him the gunner cursing loudly and clutching his head.
Doc used his Supressed P9 to handle the mask near him, blood spraying from the wound in his head. The mask with the M970 turned to doc and was immediately layed out by mute slugging him in the chest with 12 gauge. The gunner regained his bearings and went to shoot before two gloved hand reached behind him and snapped his neck. As the gunners body fell cav stepped out of the shadows, a splash of blood on her face.
"Cav? Your supposed to be with echo" Doc said and echo entered grabbing his drone with care.
"Came back, the security office is to heavily guarded for us to get in. I did meet a very talkative mask however"
"Only after you threatened to cut his balls off" Echo said and Cave shrugged.
"He told me there setting the bombs In the engine room. Also the Remaining crew are barricaded in the Crew quarters" Cav said and doc nodded thinking.
"Did they activate them yet?"
"He said the bombs where set but not armed yet, but we should hurry there almost done here" Cav said and Mute radioed in the intel.
A massive bang and crash made the operaters go instinctively duck behind cover, the entire ship groaning and shaking.
"What the hell is that?!" Ela yelled as the ship rocked again, barely catching herself. A series of pipes burst, hot steam blowout in violent gusts. Gunshots from directly above them caught there attention and they could hear people's shouts and screams.
"MEIRDE! We need to move!" Doc called out grabbing mute and pulling him away from where a couple crates smashed into the ground. Cav and ela made fro the door, echo hissing in pain as steam sprayed in his face. As they made it into the hallway the ship shook again rocking violently back and forth.
A white mask flew off the stairs hitting the wall with a groan and a voice called.
"Mark?! You good man?" The white mask steadily got up and called back.
"Yeah I'm all good this fuc-" he looked over and made eye contact with Caveira before shouting and ducking behind the stairs.
"Holy shit Rainbow! We go hostiles!" With that the flood
