Siege Start

"Old man." Alfie said as he walked in the tent.

"Son, how many times do I have to repeated myself? It's either sir, General, or Commander...I know we have gotten to know one another quite well but don't get too comfortable young man." Eisenhower said.

Over the months in the temporary base Alfie went back to his careless side and thought it easier to just call this man "old man."

Alfie didn't say anything and just looked at Eisenhower.

"I guess you're here to report something? You did well guiding them young soldiers over the past months, I commend you, I would also like to inform you tha-"

"Put me in with the infiltration unit." Alfie suddenly said.

"You want to head in with the infiltration unit?" Eisenhower asked shocked but also calmly.

"That's what I said, old man sir." Alfie said as he tried his best to look like a good soldier, which was not his thing.

"The infiltration unit is the first to step onto France, and is guaranteed to be the first to die, why would you wanna go along with that and volunteer?" Eisenhower asked, but Alfie didn't answer.

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"Well I hope you turn out alright in the end, you're a damn good man." Eisenhower said.

"Oh don't praise me so much old timer, you'll make me blush." Alfie joked.

"Hahahahahah, well as of now you are now Second Lieutenant Alfred McBride." Eisenhower said with a smirk.

"!!Sec- I'm getting promoted?!" Alfie asked as he was shooketh.

"That you did." Eisenhower said.

"But why? I didn't even do shitt for the past few months other than beating those men in the camp." Alfie said.

"Well you taught them well, but I also wanted to give you a promotion." Eisenhower said.

"But Second Lieutenant?! That's a big jump if you haven't even notice." Alfie said.

"Well apparently I'm in charge of this operation now, President Roosevelt has called General George Marshall back to Washington for some important matters, now it's all left to me and the others.

And as the one in charge, I promoted you." Eisenhower said chuckling.

"Even if that sounds good and all but..."

"What? Font like it?" Eisenhower asked.

"Well no, I just feel like there is a weight to that title." Alfie said.

"No, no weight at all." Eisenhower said.

"But you will be in charge of the 30 men inside the plane dropping you guys off." Eisenhower said.

"I thought so, look it's great and all but I'm not here to lead anyone, I don't want to worry about anyone, I just wanna do me and do what I want." Alfie said.

"Well too bad, it's a direct order from me, now Second Lieutenant McBride, go introduce yourself to your team." Eisenhower said not taking a no for an answer.

"Very well..." Alfie said through gritted teeth.

"But allow one thing."

"And what is that?" Eisenhower asked.

"Allow me to wear whatever I want." Alfie said.

"What would you be wearing?" Eisenhower asked a bit worriedly.

"It's nothing bad, I just brought my own protective uniform." Alfie said.

•••••••

On the day before June 6th, 1944.

Soldiers got ready dressed and equipped with their brave faces and rifles.

There were more nervous then brave, Alfie was excited, his stomach couldn't wait and his teeth started shaking in excitement which most thought of it as trembling fear, but Alfie didn't bother correcting them.

He met the team he was gonna land, infiltrate, and lead through the Nazi's in Normandy.

They were a crazy bunch, most of them at least, the others were quiet but Alfie knew better than that.

The quiet ones are always the one to watch out for, Alfie noticed that they're quiet but nobody fucks with them, Alfie liked that.

At the moment Steve was most likely traveling around the U.S. and knocking Hitler down in every state.

While Alfie was on the Western-front ready for liftoff inna few hours.

Bucky should be with his regiment in the Italian front going against Benito, but Hitler will get involved soon and capture him and the future Howling Commandos.

And now Alfie is with the army led by General Dwight D. Eisenhower to liberate France from these Nazi bastards.

The moment they conquered the sky and sea, General Eisenhower immediately want to move out and proceed.

Nobody knows how long it will be before Germany decides to fight back and take back the Sky and Sea again.

So for the last few days before tomorrow, everyone tried calling their loved ones, to say goodbye maybe hear their voices before heading off to one of the biggest battle in history.

Alfie called up his parents, they were still doing okay but they are getting old and slow, Alfie could hear it from their tone.

He hated that he had to worry them but this was bigger than family and bigger than most things.

He also tried calling a few of his old friends, a few picked up luckily and they had some nice conversations before Alfie tried to call Steve, but the poster-boy was traveling and he didn't have home phones on him.

He did call Howard just to mess with the guy before finally putting the telephone down and head to his crew for a silent sit down.

But soon daylight started to rise along with the sun, it was time.

A sudden siren swallowed the whole of the London bases as everyone got ready to take off.

The first to go were the hundreds of planes dropping bombs over the Normandy German Bases.

As Alfie's infiltration team were ready and inside the small plane that would drop them in the air, Alfie is missing, the team thought he chickened out but they still waited.

•••••

As the Commanders gathered in the war room for the last time in London, someone entered the tent.

The Commanders panicked and almost went for their guns, but looking closer some of them recognized who this was.

It was Alfred McBride.

He was wearing an armor like plating themed black and orange, just liked the suit of Deathstroke, but without the mask as it was nowhere to be seen.

With his black hair and brown eyes, Alfie had a black skin-tight suit around his neck and jawline.

Around his body were all sorts of ammo and a few grenades hanging tightly.

Behind his right shoulder was a simple katana sword themed black and red.

(Just like the Coverrrrr)

"Alfred? So this is what you wanted to wear?" Eisenhower walked up to Alfie and looked up and down at his armor platings.

"Who is this?" One of the British commanders asked.

"Gentlemen, this is Second Lieutenant Alfred McBride, he is a little something I've been cooking up, I expect much of him so I sent him with the infiltration team." Eisenhower shamelessly said with a smile.

Alfie raised an eyebrow looking at the old man before chuckling.

"I just came to say my farewells, be safe and maybe I'll see you after the siege." Alfie said.

"Yes yes, go and kick some ass, son." Eisenhower said.

••••••

As Alfie walked to where his team plane was located, the bombing planes have started to take off.

Alfie got in the plane as everyone was already sat down on the seats.

When they saw him the team eyed his suit, some whistled at the thought of how much that nice looking suit would cost.

"Gentlemen, and Ms.Wilana, are you ready?" Alfie asked.

And the team went rowdy as the others stayed quiet, and smirking.

Only the brave and the crazy could go through these missions.

Ms.Wilana was the first women that Alfie saw that was going to a battlefield, there is a lot on modern days but during this time...not really.

But Alfie doesn't care, as long as they can kick ass.

"Good, because we are about to have a beach full of prey." Alfie said as he sat down.

He felt a connection of some kind to the team, he wasn't sure what it was until he heard others talk about this team as a team of psychopaths, and it clicked.

He had the special connection because he also felt a little bit of psycho in him.

But what he didn't know was that the term "psychopath" would stick with him after this battle of France.

Along with this current crew he is running, there were a few of these psycho group that stands out from the rest.

Benny Lugo, he is a hyper man and talks a lot, eyes always red for some reason, and a creepy smile following along.

Ronny Dean, loves to eat but never gets fat, lazy eyes and messy hair, knife specialist that loves to stab, and raccoon eyes from not sleeping much.

Dave Jackson, the one with the toys, bombs, rpg's, grenade launchers, a specific weapon...he doesn't have it, but he can find it, he can smell one in a battlefield, nobody likes to ask but he prays to god and he says god finds him weapons, bald.

Jimmy Lee, a very agile and acrobatic asian who is obsessed with the term "stealth," loves to make moments awkward and uncomfortable, doesn't like kids and loves a good skill fight.

Wilana Crossley, a ray of sunshine and rainbows who would use it to burn anyone she can, holds the definition of what a "crazy bitch" is, loves to cook but people can't eat her cookings if they pissed her off one bit.

William Andersen, quiet and loves to read books, interrupt his reading and he glares at you intently but that won't be the end of it, loves to shoot guns, point him to an enemy and he will waste the whole ammo.

Along with 24 other crazy group more or less.

••••••

There were a lot of bangings and loud explosions, the plane rocked back and forth hard, but the team was still excited to a degree.

"Dropout in two!!" The pilot yelled to the back.

That simple sentence started a chain of clicks as the team unlocked their seatbelts.

They each got up armed themselves and put on a parachute on ready for their drop point.

"Think you guys could keep up?" Alfie asked, he turned around to the team as a mask suddenly appeared in his hand from behind him as he put it on smoothly.

(Again looks just like the cover)

The mask was themed orange and black, the right side of the mask is orange with a black eye and the left side is black with an orange eyehole.

"So What's with the whole getup?" Benny asked.

"Haha it's a symbol to let my dark wolf out." Alfie said.

"Dark wolf?" Benny asked again.

"Everyone has two wolves inside of them, one light and one dark, always fighting to get out and take control of you." Alfie said.

"And you are letting the dark wolf control you?" William asked, he seems to be interested in this talk of the light and darkness inside of one.

"I don't let it control me, the one who wins is the one you feed, I feed both and I won't ever let it control me." Alfie said as he put on a parachute and walked to the side of the back plane and pulled a lever.

The back of the plane starts to open up, with a beretta pistol on his left thigh and a katana sword on his back Alfie is all set.

"You have your missions and you know your sides, you can go crazy but don't go stupid, remember we need to make sure the beach is null of heavy fire so our ships could land, after completing your tasks, group up at Fort Caen, further orders will be given there." Alfie said.

"First Drop!!" The pilot yelled out.

"Alright first group first group!!" Alfie said.

Benny, Ronny, Dave, Jimmy and 6 other guys jumped on the first drop point.

There were 10 per drop, plus Alfie, 2 groups of 5 men will hit a base on different sides and hope to take out the gunners on the fort turrets and cannons.

"Second Drop!!"

The second troop dropped, Wilana and William dropped on that one along with 8 others.

Before the last group could drop with him Alfie looked to them and told them to change plans.

"Last Drop!!"

Then they were gone.

As the last group opened their chutes and started steering, Alfie was still falling and didn't pull his chute open yet.

It wasn't until he was a few meters where he could easily opened his chute and handle the drop did he pull.

As Alfie looked back at the 10 group splitting on different directions, 5 on the left and 5 on the right.

He was on the straight path to Fort Carentan, with some luck they should be able to take down the coast bunkers starting with the one in the fort ahead.

Alfie looked up to see that the sky was getting darker due to all the smoke from the continuous bombings.

•••••••

As Alfie perched himself on a tree he watched as German soldiers run around in panic and anger.

He then saw a group of German soldiers fill in a military vehicle and ride out of the fort going straight to the tree Alfie was perched on.

As the four soldier rode on the vehicle something dropped and landed on the hood of the car as it still ran.

They looked up to see a fully plated armored man with half colored mask and two ribbons fluttering behind his head.

A sword on his tight and a gun on his left.

*Bang* x2

Before the four could do anything and grab their weapons it was too late, Alfie shot two times before swiping his sword sideways to the right and doing another left swipe after jumping.

As Alfie landed on the ground, the vehicle slowed down until it stopped, in it were four Nazi soldiers lifeless.

Alfie looked at the sword and with a smile muttered out.

"I knew it, I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad but I don't feel anything from killing, was I some kind of serial killer in my past life? This feels so...natural."

He then flicked his sword ridding the blood and looked back at the car.

"Lets do this." Alfie excitedly said.

•••••••

In Fort Carentan a few bombs hit the fort just half an hour ago and it suddenly halted, no more plane dropping bombs.

That could only mean an invasion on foot was coming.

As the Germans soldiers rushed around, the vehicle that left minutes ago came riding slow back in the fort.

The soldiers paused and looked at the empty car, a few walked up to try and stop the car from accelerating more when...

*KABOOM*

A huge fire erupted and blasted all the soldiers back, the explosion took many fragments from the blown car hitting the German soldiers around.

And in one of the buildings sudden gunshots and wailings was heard.

The soldiers ran up to take out the sudden intruder, when one of the windows blasted open and a German soldier was flung out like a ragdoll.

The next moment Alfie jumped out of that same window himself and landed straight on another German soldier and with his sword stabbed it through his head down through to the neck and more.

Before he could get shot at by the soldiers who aimed Alfie moved so fast it was almost a blur.

He next appeared behind another Nazi and with his sword stabbed him through the heart from the back, and with that he used the soldier as a shield and fired off the gun on his left killing a soldier with every shot before jumping sideways and turned before cutting a head off a soldiers shoulder.

As a soldier stayed a distance away from the killing machine, he slowed his breath and aimed his machine gun at the dancing blood demon, but he suddenly disappeared and appeared again in front of the soldier shocking him.

Alfie did a quick up swipe cutting the soldiers hand clean off and then another swipe to the right cutting the soldiers head.

*Bang*

A gun sounded near Alfie, but nothing hit him as Alfie tilted his upper body lucky enough to not be targeted by the long barrel of the soldiers, and before he can take another shot Alfie threw the katana straight at the soldier piercing his heart.

Alfie walked to the heart-pierced-by-a-katana-soldier and grabbed the sword grip and kicking the soldier freeing his katana.

Suddenly many loud and rapid shots were made and out from the sides were 20+ men and a woman walking to Alfie.

"Damn, and I thought I was a psycho." Ronny said looking at all the bodies and limbs on the ground, and the blood stained armor Alfie was using.

Behind the mask Alfie smiled a bit too evilly and thought how fun it was.

"Let's do it again." Alfie said, though his voice sounded a bit too dark.
