Cambodian Airspace

Now that the two Huszar groups have entered the area, they begin a radio sweep, sending out a message for all radios. It goes as follows, "This is the Hungarian Huszar Cavalry, searching for Imperial and Federal Americans. Survivors reply."

This is repeated every minute until a reply will be heard.

Smith: "You're crazy if you think that you will be able to defeat the most powerful armies in the world! Even if you do destroy some cities, you still have to fight the armies of the Empire and the Federation. You'll die before you reach Cleveland."
Jordan: *He closed his eyes. He had a feeling that Smith would be the next to die.*

"I see we have a volunteer."

The soldiers grabbed Smith and ripped his tongue out. They then retrieved a large stake and began the impalement process.

"Anyone else have anything to say?"

*The rest of the group stood silent. None wanted to die next. Jackson thought back to that day in Paris...that seemed so easy compared to what he was experiencing now. Plus that day he had the help of some of the greatest men he ever met...if only they were here now to save them.*

Kurtz's Fortress

A soldier went up to Kurtz and whispered in his ear. The General looked back at his prisoners.

"It appears that the Hungarians are attempting a rescue." He grabbed a radio.

"Hungarian Huszar Cavalry, we have received your message. There is a village not far from your location. We are there." He turned off the radio

"The Hungarians are in for a nasty surprise."

[North-East Ohio]

Kurtz's Fortress
Jackson: *He looked up. Why would the Hungarians come to help them? After what they did to the Hungarians in the last war. Oh well, it was help...hopefully the Hungarians would be able to help.*

"Take them away"

*The guards then lead the remaining men away. Jordan sighed. There was no escape he thought. They were doomed.*

They were taken to a large circular pit, with guards posted around the edge. A Cambodian separated the agents from the leaders,Marlowe, Vermaak, and Jackson.

"You men will fight, and the winner will be the last to be executed."

[North-East Ohio]

Kurtz's Fortress
Jordan: *He just stood there silently as he was told he would fight. He knew a good fight would ensue. The other East American agents were trained as much as he was. The Imperials he knew nothing about. He sighed and accepted he was going to die.*

Marlowe watched as his friends were forced to fight the American agents. It was a gruesome sport. However, he was not bound, and as the Cambodians were focused on the fight, he had a narrow window of opportunity. He slowly moved back and into the shadows, and made his way back to Kurtz's sanctum.

Jordan: *He snapped the neck of an Imperial agent. After that he moved on to see a friend of his from the program.* "Hello Nathan."
Nathan: "Jordan." *He charged at Jordan and threw him down. He began punching his friend who was able to kick him off.*
Jordan: "This is not how I thought our training would come into use." *He kicked his friend.* "I had hoped to kill the bad guys. Guess we have to kill each other."
Nathan: "Well, let's just see who was better trained."
*They continued fighting while everyone else also fought.*
*Meanwhile Jackson and Vermaak watched the fighting. Jackson looked around, but didn't see Marlowe.*
Jackson: "Now where did he go?"

Marlowe had snuck back to Kurtz's Chambre where he head the General reciting a poem.

"Life is very long

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."

He turned around and faced Marlowe as the Major pulled out his concealed pistol and fired. Kurtz went down hard.

"The horror"

[North-East Ohio]

Kurtz's Fortress
Jackson: *He looked up. He heard a gun go off. Maybe it was rescue. Or more likely, a guard found Marlowe and had killed him.*
Vermaak: *He heard the gun too. He looked at his friend.*
*Down below, the remaining agents looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.*

[Britanania]

Kurtz's Fortress

A soldier of the 510th rushed into the room and saw Kurtz. He looked at Marlowe and realised what had happened.

"We need to get His Imperial Majesty out of of here."

The cigar Kurtz had been smoking caught fire to the rug and had grown into a large blaze the two men rushed out of there.

[North-East Ohio]

Kurtz's Fortress
Jackson: *He saw the two men run out.* "Hey, Imperial. What is going on?"
*Down below, everyone had stopped fighting when they saw Marlowe. Maybe they would live.*

Cambodia

The LMGs are fired into the jungle, lighting it ablaze, clearing a landing spot and killing any combatants in the area. Once the 2 helicopters lands, the 50 highly-trained men jump from the choppers and secure the area.

"Sergeant, area is clear." A man says.

"Excellent. Spread out. Find any tunnels, kill anything that fires at you." Sergeant Báthory instructs to the men.

Cambodia

The warriors had not yet heard of Kurtz's death, so they began to use all their strength on the Hungarians

Kurtz's Fortress

The fire began spreading quickly. Marlowe was out of breath as he began to speak.

"We need to get out quickly. The 510th are loyal again, but we need to get out of these ruins and into their other compound."

[North-East Ohio]

Kurtz's Fortress
Jackson: "Alright. Free us then. What about the guys below?"

[Britanania]

Kurtz's Fortress

Marlowe cut their bounds.

"Time to go, we don't have time to get down there. We need to get to the other compound."

[North-East Ohio]

Kurtz's Fortress
*Jackson and Vermaak began following Marlowe.*
Vermaak: "Are the leaders in the other compound?"
Jackson: "What about the other agents?"

[Britanania]

Kurtz's Fortress

"Our leaders are interred at the other Compound, a short walk through the tunnels. The 510th are already making their departure back to India."

[North-East Ohio]

Kurtz's Fortress
Vermaak: "Alright. Lead the way Imperial."
*Jordan watched the men above him. He hoped they would come and save the remaining agents.*

[Britanania]

Other Compound

The men reached the other Compound and freed the leaders as the men of the 510th began evacuating. The place was set to blow. Lucius now took charge.

"The Mekhon and WMDs have already been taken aboard transport choppers, we can go with them, but the Hungarians are fighting the Cambodians."

[North-East Ohio]

Other Compound
Ramirez: "Alright. Let's just get the hell out of here as fast as we can."
Jackson: "What about the surviving agents in the arena?"
Ramirez: "They're dead Jackson. Let's just worry about getting out of here alive."
*Jackson was about to protest, but Vermaak shook his head. So Jackson sighed.*
Jackson: "Alright, let's go."
