"Down down!" Yelled buck. Hunter pulled out his s-2 sniper rifle and fired fours shots, all hitting their marks.

A nearby RPG exploded and tossed some SSTs into the air, but they quickly got up and continued to fight.

Azure base nearby

The Azuran airbase had received the distress signal, and 6 pelican dropships loaded with marines, SSTs, and army centeurians made their way towards the mountain.

-Randahar Moutains, 0800hrs-
The IG operators approached their position when they then begun to hear small arms fire and rockets going off, the source of all the noise was no more then 500 yards East of them. Half of the team went over to investigate and discovered the battle going on between a small group of Azuran troops and hundreds of insurgents One operator looked through the scope of his sniper rifle and discovered that they're SSTs. "The hell they doing out here?" asked one of the operators. "Don't, know" replied another. The team leader of Reaper-04 Lieutenant Jorhan Kollmann radioed in to Joint Base Elshabab in Kalan Province "Reaper-04 to base, we got Azuran SSTs in contact with the enemy requesting permission to assist." The IG operators knew what if they intervened that the entire force of the insurgents would be on them putting their lives in danger. But if they did nothing and continued with their own mission then the SSTs would eventually be overwhelmed and be killed. I.G. and Reichsarmee commanders back at base debated among eatch other. Finally after 5 minutes the decision was made. Reaper-04 would break into two teams, one would assist the Azurans while the others would continue with the mission. "Base to Reaper-04, split into two teams, one of you go help out the Azurans the other team continues with the mission. Once those POWs are rescued, regroup and help get the Azurans out of there" replied Base to Reaper-04. Immediately after hearing the message the IG operators got up on a vantage point over looking the firefight. The sniper zeroed in and took aim at an insurgent fighting with a SST on the ground. "Do it" said Lieutenant Kollmann. The sniper fired hitting the insurgent in the back of the head. The insurgents shocked at the sound of the bullet snap begun to return fire at the I.G. operators. Despite being heavily outnumbered the I.G. operators had the uphill advantage, this advantage could not last long however. While the operators begun to pick off insurgents the radio man tapped in to the SST's radio frequency. "This is Reaper-04, 4th Regiment Imperial Guard, try to make your way up to us we'll try to cover you as best we can". Rockets begun to fly in near the operators going off mere feet from them. "f**k you!!" yelled Lieutenant Kollmann as he quickly killed four insurgents. While the battle raged on the other I.G. operators repelled down the cliff into the compound, most of the insurgents what where guarding the compound had left to go join the battle going on in the mountains. The I.G. operators made quick work of any remaining guards, after clearing out the compound the POWs were found. A VB02 arrived shortly and taking with them the POWs and the other half of Repear-04, the operators requested to be dropped off near the other half of their team to help them in the firefight with the insurgents. As the VB02 approached a RPG flew by barely missing. The Side gunner opened fire with the .51 caliber machine gun as the I.G. operators fast roped down. The VB02 then left making back the safely of Kalan Province. The battle raged on, the I.G. operators despite facing overwhelming numbers kept they cool and their rifles firing trying to cover the Azurans making their way towards them. Two AAX Ravens where on their way but they where 30 minutes out.
