Respect Builds Loyalty

Chapter 18

Conner awoke with a start before he stood up in a daze which almost made him fall back down again. His vision cleared and he noticed something odd, something appeared to be in front of his eyes. “Is that my Tek suits heads up display?" Conner questioned aloud to himself.

Conner's brain finally cleared the fog of confusion before he began looking around, he was in a desolate wasteland. Conner looked up in the sky in confusion and noticed something odd as his helmet dimed the sunlight to prevent retinal damage, the sun appeared more white then it should have, like the atmosphere was thinner. The star earth orbited was a white dwarf star but the atmospheric makeup caused it to appear a slight yellow.

Conner shook his head before he began noticing what looked like stars in the sky “It's day how can I see sta-" Conner stopped mid sentence as he looked at the moon that appeared to be closer but that wasn't quite the shocking part, the shocking part was the fact that it looked like a very powerful nuke had exploded on the surface causing a good portion of the moon to have basically shattered. Conner deactivated his helmet to make sure he was seeing that right.

Conner began panicking at the similarities between this and Ark Extinction. Conner planted his face into his hands before dragging them down his face but stopped halfway as he noticed something strange, Conner felt the distinct feeling of scar tissue running from over his left eyebrow across his left eye and ending at his jawline. Conner traced the scar again, it started on his forehead and ran over his left eyebrow, his left eyebrow had a line through it where the hair had thinned out because of the scar. He closed his left eye and felt scar tissue on his eyelid and running over his cheekbone and running down his jaw leaving a line through his beard to the left temporomandibular joint. Conner closed his right eye before reopening his left eye and was relieved to still be able to see out of his left eye.

“Sir, I'm unable to reestablish connection with your army. I can't tell if any NATO forces are even left after the corruption took over before the Tek suit was knocked offline and you were captured." The AI chimed into the armour's speakers.

Conner was about to respond when a massive creature roared from behind him, Conner whipped around and froze, the only way Conner could describe it as was an abomination, a monster that appeared to be covered in purple glowing gashes. Conner couldn't shake the fact that it reminded him of a creature from Ark, a corrupted Reaper King.

Conner braced himself and reactivated his Tek helmet before pulling out his magical sword and charging the creature. Conner was about to slash the creature's left foot off when everything went dark.

Conner rocketed out of bed with a start causing Daniella's wing to be thrown off of him which in turn woke the dragoness up. Conner looked down at his naked body before looking around the room and sighing in relief. Conner felt across his left eye and was relieved to not feel a scar there.

“CONNER!" Daniella shouted his name a third time causing Conner to snap his head to her. “What happened? Are you good?" Daniella asked with a tone riddled with worry and concern.

“Sorry…." Conner sighed, his breath visible because the window was open and it was winter time. “Just had a really really vivid dream." Conner said with a distant look in his eyes as he crawled back into bed with his dragon.

“Fuck sakes." Conner muttered as he cuddled up against Daniella's chest. “What time is it?" Conner asked as he looked up at the dragon curled around him.

Daniella sighed misting the cold air of the bedroom before rolling away from Conner and reaching over and grabbing her phone. “Nine twenty two AM." Daniella said quietly before rolling back over and grabbing the slightly shivering Conner. “You confuse me sometimes…." Daniella mused.

“What?" Conner asked in complete confusion.

“The fact that you like shivering… you like the cold…. Your heat tolerance is pathetic but your cold tolerance is ridiculous."

“My heat tolerance is pathetic?" Conner questioned in fake offense as he elbowed the dragon “Love you too." Conner added with a smirk.

Daniella responded by grabbing a pillow and slamming it down on Conner's face. Conner pulled the pillow off his face and smacked Daniella back. It took about ten seconds before they became engrossed in a very intense pillow fight, both laughing their heads off.

Daniella tried to take a swing with her pillow at Conner but he jumped away before lunging at the dragon and pinning her on her back on the bed. “Ha ha! I win!" Conner said with a wide grin as he looked down at the dragoness.

“Mmhmm… it seems as though you have indeed… won…." Daniella chuckled quietly as a very toothy grin spread across her snout and her eyes narrowed to slits.

“Ah… fuck!" Conner said as he felt the dragon's tail coil around his waist.

Conner in the blink of an eye found himself in a very familiar position, beneath his dragon. The mischievous glint in her eye and the tooth filled grin spoke volumes to Conner on what her intentions were.

The dragon let out a heated growl and began grinding her crotch on the human's crotch beneath her. “You look so cute beneath me." Daniella said with another rumbling growl that turned into a purr.

Daniella lifted off of Conner slightly and used her forepaw to guide his already fully erect member to where it belonged. Conner let out a gasp and Daniella moaned as she sunk down onto Conner's perfectly sized length.

“I thought I WAS a-a very horny person… until I met thIS side of you and… holy fuck! It's a GOOD thing my endurance IS through the roof or I'D be screwed… in more ways than one." Conner chuckled through groaning.

Conner wrapped his arms around Daniella's neck before massaging her neck with his hands as the dragon began pounding her hips into his crotch.

“AH! HA! mmmmhh… yessssss… I llloove when you do that… please… don't stop!" Daniella moaned as Conner continued to knead his digits across her neck before also massaging her shoulders.

Daniella trilled before nuzzling at Conner's face and licking across his neck. She pressed her scaled lips to his soft human lips and opened her mouth to slip her tongue out, her heart rate increased when she felt Conner open his mouth and their tongues met. Daniella broke the kiss after a good fifteen seconds before she coiled her tail around Conner's right leg and picked up her pace.

“God… I mmhh… you are insatiable!" Conner moaned before letting out a grunt as the dragon planted her forepaws on his chest and began kneading her toes into his pecs.

Conner felt the dragon's passage get tighter before she let out a gasp and slammed down into his lap hard. Daniella let out a squeal as she orgasmed hard and Conner gritted his teeth and clenched his eyes shut as Daniella began rhythmically clenching and trying to draw his cock in deeper into her welcoming depths.

“That was fast!" Conner gasped as the dragon began grinding on him as she came down from her heights of pleasure.

Daniella just smiled down at him and began bouncing in his lap again. She resumed stroking and kneading at her human's chest and trilled happily as Conner began running his hands over her flanks.

Conner attempted to start thrusting up with the dragon but he realized it was very difficult because the dragon was over twice his size and over twice his weight, he still decided to move as much as he could.

Daniella let out a rumbling purr as she felt Conner begin thrusting up into her, it wasn't much movement but it was clear he was trying and that was all that mattered to the dragon. She could tell he wasn't going to last much longer and the dragon was glad because she felt a second orgasm approaching.

“I'm c-close!" Conner mumbled as his movements became more erratic.

“Good!" Daniella huskily growled before nibbling under his jaw.

Daniella moaned loudly in Conner's ear when she felt her orgasm hit her, she slammed her hips into his crotch and pinned him to the bed which ended up setting Conner off and he quickly joined her with his own orgasm.

Daniella shuddered when she felt Conner coat her insides with his seed and after a few seconds she ended up collapsing on top of him.

Conner let out a groan once his penis stopped twitching and he stopped cumming. Daniella sighed happily before she tried to get up but her legs wouldn't listen.

Conner was about to speak but Daniella cut him off. “I would move if I could… but my legs aren't working right now." Daniella chuckled and Conner just sighed before stroking her side with his right hand.

Daniella was finally able to stand and she immediately engulfed Conner's member in her mouth and suckled it clean before cleaning herself.

“Sir, the shipment of vehicles you ordered arrived and the truck should be arriving any second now." the AI said from the desktop speakers.

“Conner…." Daniella sighed “What did you buy now?"

Conner chuckled “Remember who makes the money! I can buy whatever I want as long as I don't break my bank account. A few million dollars is nothing."

Daniella just stared at him before letting out a snort and jumping off the bed before walking shakily out the bedroom door. Conner watched her walk away and chuckled before throwing on some clothes and closing his bedroom window before leaving his bedroom.

Conner stepped out his front door and smiled when he saw a semi truck back up towards his garage, the driver stepped out and Conner immediately recognized him, it was his good friend David Simmons.

“Somebody likes their cars aye?" David chuckled as he handed Conner a handful of car keys.

Conner just chuckled before hopping into the first car, a Lamborghini Veneno. As Conner opened the garage door he saw Daniella shakily walk into the garage from inside the house, the way she was walking didn't leave much to the imagination. Conner looked into the rearview mirror and saw the wide eyed look David made. Conner parked the Veneno, got out and just smirked at David when he got into a Mclaren P1.

“So it wasn't just our friends being dirty and making a joke… she's the misses." David asked in amused shock.

Conner just nodded with a shit eating grin on his face before he shut the door of the P1 and started it.

It took around ten minutes for Conner to get all his newly purchased cars in the garage. A 2023 Nissan GTR R35, a Dodge Challenger Demon 170, a Ford Mustang GTD, a Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, a Koenigsegg Agera RS, an Apollo IE, a Bugatti Bolide, a Ferrari F8 Tributo, a 2019 Corvette Zr1, a Porsche 718 GT4 RS, a 2023 Corvette Stingray, a 2023 Camaro Zl1, a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, and a Lamborghini Sian FKP 37. It was quite the collection of cars he had now, all that was left was to modify the shit out of them.

A few weeks later Conner had modified all of his cars. Every single one had raised wing spoilers, blacked out with one way glass with a slight tint and dual black racing stripes.

“You have got to be the biggest car enthusiast I know." Daniella chuckled as Conner finished rigging the Ferrari to his single fob he had on his wrist, every single car was linked to one car 'key' but he still had all the keys the cars came with from the factory hung up on the wall above the large workbench next to the door into his kitchen.

“What can I say… I hate EVs and love gas cars."

“Oh boy don't start ranting about how electric cars are not the solution." Daniella said with a huff.

Conner just glared at the wall before exhaling heavily and shaking his head “All I'm saying is that once that lithium battery can no longer hold charge… it's just going to end up in a fucking landfill and those fucking batteries are only lasting five years, ten at most if the car is babied, when an internal combustion engine will last thirty or more years if it's babied." Conner sighed.

“Didn't you make all your cars hybrid?" Daniella asked with a cock of her head.

“Not lithium… Element and Antimatter. The 'batteries' don't lose charge. It's the same as the Elemental powercore in the Tek suit, it recharges itself. An infinite powersource. The Elemental fuel is also extremely efficient and the Element breaks down into oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, water vapor, and a small amount of carbon dioxide. The exhaust of my cars produce less carbon then my fucking exhale. I could literally breathe the exhaust fumes from my cars for hours and be fine." Conner said as he walked over to the secret area of his garage and his dragon followed.

Conner entered the lab and walked over to the incubator and took in a deep breath as he looked at the timer for the Indom egg. “Oh boy… here we go!" Conner chuckled as he saw the seconds count down.

Daniella got directly behind Conner and sat on her haunches behind him and rested her head on top of his, she draped her forelegs over his shoulders and crossed her forepaws over his chest.

“Incubation complete. Initiating hatching sequence."

The next few minutes after that were something Conner and Daniella would remember for the rest of their lives. Ares broke free from the egg and opened his crimson red eyes and looked at his parents, Conner quickly helped him out of the egg and used a cloth with warm damp water to clean off the baby Indom, the entire time the small hybrid dinosaur was making tiny warbles and quiet chuffing sounds.

Raising the Indominus was definitely an experience that neither the human nor dragon were quite prepared for especially because of college being another thing they both had to worry about too.

Now with a child in their lives the pair rarely got time to get intimate, maybe once or twice a week but they pulled through.

“So you guys are done with college now?" the massive hybrid asked with a cock of his head as he looked down at his parents.

Conner chuckled before responding “Yes Ares, we are done and now both of us are going to be gone for a bit because we are joining the military."

The Indominus rex frowned in a very human like manner before he huffed and walked away from the house with thumping footsteps.

“Remember what I said! We will be in touch and I will let you know when your own training will begin!" Conner shouted after Ares as his tail tip disappeared into the trees.

“Alright Ella! Ready to make a trip to Quebec?" Conner chuckled as he stroked the dragon's neck before entering the back door of the house.

As Conner entered the garage he began thinking about the lengthy recruitment process he went through as he entered his Charger. It took about two years and thankfully once they realized that he and Daniella were soulbound they had accepted them with open arms and completely ignored the fact that Conner was two inches taller then the height cutoff.

This One Is Different

Chapter 19

She remembered the first time she saw him, the black car that shook the ground as it entered the training centres parking lot, the black car that followed behind him turned out to be his soulbond, a dragoness with black scales, dark red on her underbelly, red speckling on the underside of her wings, neck and tail and crimson red eyes but it wasn't the dragon that unnerved the hardened drill sergeant. She had met recruits who disgusted her like that green drake that tried to rape the only recruit ness on base but this human, he made her feel uneasy. When she had got up in his face to test him like she did with every other recruit. She saw something flicker in his eyes, he didn't flinch like the other recruits, his bonded didn't flinch either but she didn't react like he did, the dragon had triggered something in the human, his fight or flight response and his body chose fight. He didn't react but she could see the look of a killer, of someone who had killed people and wasn't afraid to do it again and someone who could see ten or more ways to kill her in that moment. He had stared right through her at that moment, he had the look of a psychopath. The look quickly faded as his subconscious realized it was a bluff and she saw him relax and he started looking at her rather than through her.

One thing she realized was that he didn't act like a true psychopath or a sociopath. He adored his car and dragon and it was obvious he would kill for his dragon and probably had already but it seemed as if his brain could flip a switch so he could emotionally detach himself from the situation much like what a surgeon does during a surgery. She had also noticed something about him, he probably had the strongest morals out of any other person she'd ever met in her life. He was also a supergenius, intelligent to the point that it was terrifying.

She had a chat with him recently and asked what his deal was and that's when she realized who he was. Conner Stephens son of Jason Stephens who was a trillionaire and he himself was a billionaire. She didn't understand why he joined until he explained that he felt that it was his calling, his purpose and he despised terrorism, hated communism, hated dictators, hated corruption and disliked warfare but understood that it had become the only way society could try to keep the peace. He told her that his company was making technology she couldn't even begin to fathom and he was ready to show the world who had the biggest stick. With this day and age, the best way for peace is to intimidate your enemies so they don't even think about trying to start conflict.

She wasn't sure what to think about that human but she knew he was going places.

“I want Lieutenant Stephens and Second Lieutenant SannNord on my squad!" A gruff male voice said as he tossed two files on his superior's desk.

“There's no picture for either of them… just a name." The female questioned as she picked up the files.

The male just chuckled in response, “Well?"

“I think I can find you a few other people to add to that squad, they will work perfectly with those two."

“Perfect."

Conner took his hat off and scratched the top of his head before putting his hat back on and checked his rifle for the third time during this flight. To say that basic training had been an experience was an understatement. Specialist training had been quite the experience as well but Special Forces training was definitely the most intense and difficult and now he was being stationed in Germany much to his parents dismay but he wasn't too bothered.

Conner was shaken from his thoughts quite violently by someone literally shaking him before a draconic snout found its way onto his shoulder “Hello? Conner!?" He let out a yelp when the feminine voice was followed quickly by a tongue jabbing his ear.

“What!?" Conner exclaimed as he glared at the smirking black dragoness beside him.

“Just before we left this morning, during my medical exam the doctor told me that surprisingly I'm due for my next heat in a few days…." Daniella ended her sentence with a husky growl causing Conner to sigh before trying to hide the growing smile on his face.

He heard his Captain and a few of his squad mates chuckle at what his dragon said, causing Conner's composure to break and he let out a quiet snicker. Daniella grinned even wider when she heard her human's distinct snicker and scooted even closer to him and wrapped her tail around his waist and let it fall loosely between his legs.

“She seems like quite the character, Lieutenant." the Captain of Conner's squad said with a chuckle.

“You have no idea sir, no idea!" Conner responded with a smile as he leaned up against the dragon.

“That's exactly why I made her Tek armour of her own." Conner mumbled so quietly that not even Daniella heard him.

Conner chuckled, his life had definitely become interesting. He had already made quite the name for himself. He had been given the call sign Reaper, the callsign had come from his already double digit killcount and the way he killed his targets, they never knew he was there until it was too late. Daniella had been given the callsign Shade, Conner and Daniella both found them interesting but they weren't bothered. They had both been in the military for almost three years now and Conner's company had been working very closely with the Canadian Military for about a year.

“You wanted to see me, Colonel?"

“Yes, Lieutenant, please have a seat."

Conner stepped into the Colonel's office and sat down, he was a little nervous that he had done something wrong but the next words of the Colonel sent those worries out the window. “I want to see him." The man said flatly as he looked up at the large man wearing all black with a hat and face covering on.

Conner raised an eyebrow and was about to speak but the Colonel cut him off before he could “The Indominus… I want to see Black Death."

Conner only nodded before standing up and tapping a device on his wrist and walking out of the office. “Starship is inbound, eta: thirty minutes."

“We have an MAPMRC Starship approaching our airspace."

“I authorized it. As you were, I have to meet with the Reaper about another weapon."

“Yes, Colonel."

To say Colonel James Wright was nervous was an understatement, he had been tasked to oversee the training of the Indominus Rex created by Lieutenant Stephens. The CDS(Chief of the Defence Staff) had actually been the one to task him with this job and with the war in Ukraine not showing any signs of stopping and the Russian Federation had actually improved their tactics rather than just throw soldiers at the enemy like last time ten years ago making the rest of NATO nervous.

James entered the large hangar's side door and approached the parked Starship, Conner stepped around the side of the ship from the shadows of the dimly lit hanger. James looked behind the Lieutenant and saw a pair of crimson red eyes watching from the shadows that the Lieutenant came from.

“Should we turn on some more lights, Lieutenant?" The Colonel asked nervously, the Lieutenant was the only one on the base that actually intimidated him.

“It's better without the lights." Conner said flatly as the rear door of the ship opened.

An unearthly sound rumbled from the ship, it sounded like a tiger chuffing but much slower and deeper. The door finally finished opening and the Colonel peaked inside, a pair of massive crimson red eyes opened and stared at him before being followed by strips of red bioluminescence running from the eyes along its sides and under the creature's head and down its underside. The massive creature stood up and walked out of the ship with thumping footfalls and walked past James, the lights in the hanger turned on shortly after. The creature had quills jutting out from the back of its neck and the elbows of its arms, its arms ended in four fingered clawed forepaws with the fourth digit being an opposable thumb.

The Colonel was familiar with Jurassic World and it looked exactly like the Indominus but black with red bioluminescence and it was a lot bigger and had a much more masculine facial structure and the sounds it made were deeper as well.

“Well… what do you think Colonel?" Conner chuckled.

Ares chuffed before opening his mouth slightly in a very toothy smile that made the Colonel gulp. “Oh relax, if we wanted you dead that would have happened already and you would have had no idea." Conner chided as Daniella walked up behind him.

“Oh and I almost forgot about one last thing." Conner jerked his body forward and in an instant he was covered by a suit of armour.

The Colonel's eyes went wide, it was the armour he had seen in the middle east all those years ago on that patrol in his F-22 and it was the armour that had attacked the former North Korea. Conner flicked his hand down and Daniella and Ares were quickled covered in a set of armour of their own but instead of being cyan and black their armour was jet black with red lights and the armour had a slight gloss but Conner's armour was matte. Daniella and Ares stumbled back and both looked at each other before looking at Conner, they clearly didn't know about their armour.

“You both really thought I was gonna send you out there with me without giving you tank proof armour too!?" Conner exclaimed as his helmet pulled back to reveal his face.

Ares grumbled before his armour pulled back into light coverings over vital areas on his body, what looked to be a headset or comms on his head and a saddle on his back, Daniella's armour pulled back into a similar setup minus the saddle. Daniella flared out her wings and inspected the armour sections running over her wing arms before warbling an approval.

“I know you and I can use telepathy together but this allows all three of us to communicate together over long distances." Conner said as he looked at the black dragoness.

Ares turned to look at the Colonel and the quills on the back of his neck twitched before he opened his mouth. “So my father hasn't told me much about my training but he told me the basics and I look forward to beginning my training." Ares said in an even tone but his voice still thundered inside the hangar. Ares chuckled once he finished speaking because the Colonel's jaw was on the floor.

“You didn't tell me he could speak!" James exclaimed in shock. “And holy shit… his voice is deep!"

“Well sir, his IQ is one hundred fifty and I designed his entire genome. I made sure he could speak but of course because of his size, the thunderous and deep vocal pattern was unavoidable." Conner responded pridefully. “Dragon, human and t-rex are the three main components of his genetic makeup. Although the t-rex DNA was a bit of a sock drawer and only one dragon's DNA and one human's DNA was used."

“So if I'm picking up what you are putting down then that means you two are his biological parents?"

Conner and Daniella both nodded.

“Holy shit." James mumbled with wide eyes causing the dragon and human couple to chuckle.

“Did you two?" James ended his sentence by making the ok symbol with his left hand and putting his pointer finger on the other hand through the hole of his finger and thumb.

Daniella's eyes went wide and she ducked behind Conner as he burst into laughter. “Yes… we do it often actually." Conner snickered again before composing himself. “Although I can't remember the last time I was the one to actually initiate. She had been in heat so I used nanites after I finished to extract the necessary genetic material and synthesized the egg artificially and used an incubator. The egg was far too large and would probably have killed her if she had carried it."

James just looked at the embarrassed dragon and the smirking human before looking at the wide eyed Indominus rex whose bioluminescence appeared to be a brighter red and his cheeks were tinted a slight crimson.

“It appears someone finds joy in making people embarrassed." James chuckled and Conner's grin grew. “Well!" James clapped his hands. “Let's get you three properly situated on base."

“I'll get you back for this." Daniella hissed in Conner's ear as the large hangar door opened.

The starship shook as a V8 engine roared from inside and a pair of red headlights turned on. Everyone in the hangar besides Conner turned around, he just smiled. A blacked out F-150 Raptor-R rumbled out of the Starship.

“All systems online, sir. Combat mode is active." The AI said over the truck's police pa system. Daniella rolled her eyes before padding up towards Conner who had his face covering active.

Everyone on base stopped what they were doing as the massive dinosaur walked from the hangar with thumping footfalls. Ares chuffed before activating his armour's helmet, the helmet closed with an audible clang. The lights across his armour began blinking red as he walked, it was clear he didn't like the attention he was getting.

Conner elbowed his ankle “Looks like somebody takes after his father." He chuckled and the dinosaur looked down at him and pulled his helmet back to snarl at the human. Conner smacked his hand on his leg and chuckled, Ares rolled his eyes before reactivating his helmet.

“Must you stare!" Ares snapped, causing a few people to yelp before everyone quickly went back to what they were doing. Ares sighed in relief as he felt their eyes stop boring into him.

“Oh relax Private!" Conner said in a raised and stern tone. Ares grumbled in response. “I am no longer just your father, mister! I am also your superior, you agreed to a military career so behave." Conner said sternly, Ares sighed before nodding.

“Good." Conner said flatly.

The war in Ukraine ended mid 2024 after the Russian president died under mysterious circumstances. It was never confirmed but NATO knew his generals had finally been fed up with the failed invasion and replaced him, what Russia did next was not something anyone had expected. It was no longer Russia and its allies but the Russian Federation, the former Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Mongolia, Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, China and Tajikistan all became one government. The Russian Federation waited and built up its army before Russia in late 2033 invaded Lithuania, Latvia, Georgia, Estonia and Ukraine. Russia quickly dealt with the first four but Ukraine held firm long enough for NATO to start secretly sending aid until they could figure out what to do. The MAPRC went through a slight name change after the new Russian invasion began, the company went from the MAPRC(Mining Aerospace and Paleo Research Company) to MAPMRC(Mining Aerospace Paleo and Military Research Company). In late 2025 NATO kicked Turkiye out as they had been causing many issues for the alliance and it had been discovered that they had been supporting Russia secretly the entire time. In late 2026 Turkiye joined the Russian Federation.

Like Russia, NATO had been building their armies since the war in Ukraine ended and Canada to be specific had been making impossible leaps in technological advancements because of one man. NATO quickly began looking to Canada as well as the US for big decisions. Canada and the US quickly deployed their immense combined navy in the Pacific and Atlantic to discourage the Russian Federation from trying to create a naval blockade. It was not confirmed but rumoured that Canadian destroyers, subs and battleships were equipped with MAPMRC Tek weaponry. Canada deployed Joint Task Force 2 in Germany in late 2033 a few weeks after the Russian invasion began. People in the west were aware that extremely classified units were being deployed but they had no idea who.

One Squad in particular would be NATO's golden egg in this war because two members of this unit were some of the most effective and dangerous soldiers to the enemy Canada had ever seen since WW2.

Death Lurks Among the Shadows

Chapter 20

“Dude… you really did that?" A man spoke in Russian to his partner as they patrolled around the area they had been assigned night watch to.

“Oh yes I did. She screamed the entire time." The other man chuckled in Russian.

“You're fucked." The first man chuckled.

“Oh don't act all innocent!"

“Fair, but-" The man's sentence turned into a wet gurgle by something and he dropped to his knees grabbing his throat. The other Russian turned and saw a knife blade sticking out of his throat, he was about to scream but he was silenced by an impossibly quiet suppressed gunshot.

The shadow pulled the knife out of the man's neck before wiping the blood off in the snow, the shadow dragged both the bodies into shrubbery along the path before watching the heavy snowfall cover up any evidence of the scuffle on the path.

The person wearing all black tapped his ear “Patrol is dealt with, one of the cunts was bragging about raping someone and the other fuckwit didn't seem to disagree. Moving to the town's power station, Reaper out."

“Copy Reaper, Shade is making her way to the powerstation. Get that power off so we can move in. Scarecrow out!"

“Roger Captain."

Conner holstered his suppressed SIG Sauer P320 before stalking from shadow to shadow, he moved like he was the darkness itself, his footsteps never making a sound. The JTF 2(Joint Task Force 2) member was the most lethal operative currently active in the special forces branch of the CAF(Canadian Armed Forces). The barrel of his gun was the last thing many terrorists and Russians saw before they met their end. His service rifle he currently used was not issued by the CAF but by himself, a heavily modified FN Scar-17 battle rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm. The rifle was unbelievably powerful even for a battle rifle and some people claim he actually built it and just had blueprints at his disposal. Conner chuckled because those people had no idea how right they were.

Conner saw the power station in the distance as he walked around a building, he was about to make a break for it but he saw someone round the corner and begin walking in his direction, his advanced glasses identified the man as Russian. Conner slowly pulled out his knife and waited for the man to approach.

The Russian never saw what hit him, it was like the darkness itself swallowed him, the sickly sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh and the splatter of blood on the ground was the only sign that the man had met his end. Conner stared down at the man and decided just in case to snap his neck to make sure he was dead.

*SNAP*

Conner moved away from the wall and wiped the blood from his knife in the snow, his eyes turning from a very dull green back to vivid green as he approached a tree. Conner was about twenty meters from the perimeter wall of the powersation when he noticed a trench.

Conner slowly approached the trench before peaking down, what he saw caused his eyes to turn almost grey. The trench was filled with bodies, civilian bodies, men, women and children thrown into the trench with no remorse.

“This is Reaper to Scarecrow."

“Go ahead Reaper."

“I've got at least sixty civ bodies in a trench… men, women and children tossed in like fucking trash."

The squad Captain heard the Lieutenant's tone of voice, he knew that tone well. He had seen what happened when that man went into a rage state, it was nothing short of destruction similar to that of a hurricane and when he entered a rage state there was probably nothing on this planet that could stop him besides a nuclear bomb.

“Reaper! Stealth!" The Captain said sternly. The Captain knew if the Elemental human went berserk, everyone in this town was going to die, he was an absolute unit at six foot five and around two hundred thirty pounds of pure muscle. The fact that he was an Elemental made him even more lethal, having muscle density higher than a chimp, an Elemental human his size could take on a gorilla and possibly win. His bone density was also higher but he weighed exactly the same as a normal human his size, something science still couldn't understand about Elementals.

The Captain heard a long sigh over the radio before he heard the killing machine speak again. “We'll make them pay…"

“Yes we will, Lieutenant but stealthily."

“Yes Captain."

Conner's tone was devoid of any life and it terrified the Captain how he could emotionally disconnect himself and channel it into anger so he wouldn't break himself mentally, it was an impressive skill, something the Captain couldn't do quite as well as the Lieutenant could. That man could witness the worst atrocities mankind was capable of and not flinch before being very loving and caring to his girlfriend less than five minutes after seeing said atrocities. He had gone through plenty of medical exams and the doctors could tell the things he had witnessed were not affecting him but they couldn't understand how he could disconnect so well but be so emotionally expressive less than two minutes later. Even without disconnecting mentally you could describe the most brutal crime scene ever and he wouldn't flinch, he wasn't very sensitive to graphic content in the first place so doctors weren't too concerned.

Conner jumped over the wall of the powerstation's perimeter before approaching the main control room. He entered the building and navigated to the control room. Conner entered the control room and found the power grid's main control panel, Conner approached it and opened the box, Conner sensed something behind him and drew his rifle in less then a second as he whirled around. “Jesus Daniella! Don't sneak up on me like that!" Conner hissed quietly as the dragon approached him.

The dragon sat behind him and faced away from him before wrapping her tail around his legs. Conner opened the power box and pulled the main shutoff switch before switching off all the individual switches for each sector. Once he was sure the power was off he lifted his arm and activated his right gauntlet. He pressed his armoured hand to the control panel and discharged an EMP frying the electrical systems in that room. He ripped the control panel off the wall and placed a C4 charge on the wall before linking it to his armour's remote detonator. Conner deactivated his gauntlet before activating a device on his right arm, the screen on his arm lit up to confirm that the C4 charge was live and ready for detonation. As Conner walked out of the room he tossed a napalm canister below the C4 charge.

“Powerstation is out of commission boys and girls, C4 charge is armed. Reaper and Shade are moving to house number fifty eight."

“Copy Reaper, everyone move!"

“This is Reaper, remember to link your C4 charge to that device I gave you, I can remotely detonate every charge at once as soon as everyone is clear."

“Silver Spoon, I copy!"

“Pornstar, I copy!"

“Joker, I copy."

“Scarecrow, I copy."

“Alimony, I copy."

“Bishop, I copy."

“Fisher, I copy."

Conner chuckled, it was a little fucked up that they gave Shane that nickname but Pornstar, a black dragon with green eyes and a faded red stripe running down both her sides came up with it and it stuck.

Silver Spoon was an orange dragoness with black paws, black wing arms and a faded black pattern over her back who had been given that name because of her rich parents. Silver Spoon's father was a little gruff and cold but he supported his daughter's decision to join the military. The orange dragon's name was Kaida and the black dragon's name was Adalinda.

“So… Kaida, how's Jake doing?" Conner said as he and Daniella slithered among the shadows.

“He's doing great, he wants us to open a coffee shop together if I get back from deployment and when my father kicks the bucket he wants us to take over his construction business. We both agreed but Jake is split on if he should keep the coffee shop or sell it after that."

“First of all… don't say that! You will be able to go home and secondly do what you think will work but I've worked with your father before and I've paid him for his work. He makes a fuck ton of money, it would be foolish to pass up your fathers offer."

“You are right, it's just surprising how they were so against Jake and I being together but they've come around now and I'm so glad they want him taking over my father's business with me."

“I was worried about how my parents would react about my relationship with Daniella, thankfully they weren't bothered, Daniella's parents knew she had feelings for me even before I did." Conner chuckled as he opened the door to a house. “God I remember that night she had be-OOF!" Conner doubled over as he was hit in the stomach.

“Don't you dare speak of that night! That phone call was awkward enough!" Daniella snapped.

“What? You screaming my name as I fucked you in the ta-OOF!" Conner grunted again as Daniella hit him in the gut again.

Conner heard his comms filled with quiet snickering from the rest of his squad and even though he was in mild pain he couldn't help but snicker.

“He's worse than you, Adalinda!" Shane chuckled over the comms.

“Oh I don't know… how many people has he slept with?"

“Four including this lovely lady right here."

“Ha! That's nothing! I've got at least fifty under my tail!"

“And that's why we call you Pornstar!" Conner chuckled. “This one behind me has only ever had one under her tail and I'm the only person to have been un-OOF!"

Conner picked himself up and walked past the dragon who was still glaring at him. “Oh come on! Lighten up!"

“Whatever!" Daniella snorted before following Conner towards the living room.

Daniella walked into Conner's back because he had stopped walking. She was about to complain until she saw the scene in front of them, it was an absolute mess. Human body parts, organs and blood everywhere, like a grenade had gone off in a pile of bodies.

“Fucking animals." Conner muttered flatly as he stepped into the room with his rifle raised.

Conner turned the corner and what he saw on the couch made his jaw clench, it was a headless female body with her butt propped in the air, her ass hole and vagina were caked in an off white substance, Conner knew it was semen.

“This is Reaper to everyone, it looks like a grenade went off in a pile of bodies in the living room, there's blood, limbs, bullet casings and bullet holes everywhere. There is also a decapitated human female she was obviously raped in both holes, theres still semen caked to her rear coming from both holes."

Conner heard Daniella throw up in the hallway. Conner sighed before linking a C4 charge to his detonator before tossing it into the center of the room, Conner grabbed a napalm canister and tossed it next to the C4 charge before exiting the living room.

Conner approached Daniella and looked her in the eyes “Remember what I said, you couldn't have done anything to stop them. People are evil and justice will be served. Do not let it get to you, it will do more harm by dwelling on it, there is nothing you could have done."

Daniella nodded and Conner smiled before giving her a quick kiss on the nose. Conner stepped away and used his Tek glasses x-ray system, he saw what looked like a kids bedroom and what he saw on the bed made his vision go blurry.

“We. Are. Not. Going. Upstairs!" Conner said distantly as he grabbed another napalm canister and C4 charge, he primed the charge before sticking it to the ceiling beneath the kids room and jammed the canister through the ceiling.

“What did you see?"

“You don't want to fucking know!"

“Just give me an idea."

“That's a kids room and there's a small body on the bed."

“Oh…."

“Yeah…." Conner said coldly as he approached the front door and quickly stepped out.

“Fucking disgusting!" Conner exclaimed under his breath as he walked around the corner of the building with Daniella following behind him.

“How the fuck does someone think that's okay!?" Daniella exclaimed under her breath.

“Trust me when I say that I don't know. I don't like kids but that is still despicable. It's… ah fucking forget it! Best we stop thinking about it and just slaughter the fuckers responsible."

Daniella responded with a nod as her lips pulled back into a silent snarl.

“This is Fisher to everyone. If the house has a childrens bedroom… don't go inside."

“This is Reaper, I saw a pretty grizzly scene through my Tek glasses from the lower floor. I didn't dare go into the kids bedroom."

“People are fucking disgusting!" Joker exclaimed over the radio.

“Don't think about it, these atrocities won't go unpunished."

Conner approached the door to another building and entered. The room was filled with sleeping Russians, Conner floated silently around the room and dropped four napalm canisters before priming two C4 charges and placing them in spots so all four napalm canisters would catch.

Conner exited the makeshift barracks and muttered “I don't care how controversial the usage of napalm is, that right there deserves a fiery death!"

“Reaper and Shade, all charges are deployed."

“Silver Spoon, Joker, Scarecrow and Bishop, all charges deployed."

“Pornstar, Alimony and Fisher, all charges set."

“Alright Shadows! Get clear! Scarecrow out!"

“Reaper, is everyone clear?"

“Shadow 1 clear!"

“Shadow 3 clear!"

“Shadow 4 clear!"

“Perfect, Shadow 2-1 Reaper, detonating!"

Conner tapped his wrist and the resulting explosion was nothing short of spectacular. The explosion from the buildings he dealt with were a bit more fiery than the others.

The group of soldiers dashed into the trees in case a few survivors collected themselves to launch a counter attack.

“Dude! What the fuck did you use!?" Joker laughed as they dashed through the trees.

Conner just smirked and pulled out a canister with napalm written on the side of it before he quickly put it away.

“Isn't that a war crime?"

“Nope, no civilians were in the area, it's controversial, not illegal." Conner said with a twisted smile. “What the Russians did was a war crime!"

“Now Shadows, we stay out of sight. NATO has not officially declared war on Russia so the presence of Canadian Special Forces might cause some problems. We camp here until tomorrow evening, we will make our way back to base at night unless we hear from Colonel Wright. No questions about it, we are in hostile territory so get used to a nocturnal schedule for the next week or two."

“Roger!" The entire squad said in unison.

Conner sighed as he stepped into his tent “Analyzing combat results. Updating killcount."

“What is it now, Computer?"

“One hundred fifty seven."

“Jesus." Conner muttered under his breath as he stripped down to his underwear and lay down on his large cot.

Conner sat up when he heard rustling outside his tent, he raised his right hand causing a small object of nanites to shoot across the tent. Conner raised the freshly formed object and pulled the hammer back, he slowed his breathing so that it couldn't be heard and he sat completely still, waiting.

The tent opened and Daniella stepped through “Jesus Ella! I almost shot you!" Conner exclaimed.

Conner lowered his revolver and set the hammer on the ninth locking position before setting the revolver on a crate next to the double cot that acted as a night table.

Daniella chuckled before closing the tent flap and turning around to look at her human, her eyes were narrowed to slits.

“Ah shit!"

Daniella walked over to the corner of the tent and took all her gear off before leaping on top of Conner, pinning him to the bed “I did say I would get you back last week for that stunt in front of the Colonel and then you decided to yet again embarrass me in front of the entire squad." Daniella snarled although Conner could tell she wasn't really angry and she was just putting on an act.

Daniella's lips pulled back into a sinister grin before she spun around and wiggled her rump over his face, she was very aroused.

“Daniella!" Conner chuckled nervously “Maybe we can talk abo-MRRFF!" Conner was interrupted by a very heated draconic vent being planted to his lips.

Conner noticed something about her smell that he somehow hadn't noticed until now and that's when he realized something, she was in heat. Conner mentally kicked himself for teasing the dragon so much while she had literally said she was due for her heat last week.

Conner hesitantly opened his mouth and gave a quick lick, it was a surprisingly palatable taste, a bittersweet but mostly sweet taste, slightly fruity with a hint of cinnamon.

Conner stuck his tongue into her heated entrance and wrapped his arms around her waist before pulling her down into himself.

“Ahhhhhh. Yes Conner, mmhhm… God I need this!" Daniella moaned as she began grinding on her human's face.

Conner started to feel fluids trickle down his chin, he flicked his tongue over the dragon's now exposed clitorus causing her to twitch and tense up.

Conner didn't think that they would be able to find time for these activities in the field but here he was, beneath the love of his life, yet again.

Daniella looked down at Conner's crotch and decided to take his underwear off because it looked like they were close to ripping.

Conner's member sprung out as Daniella pulled his underwear off, she desperately wanted to suck him dry but this human had teased and embarrassed her enough the past two weeks so she settled for teasing him until he made her orgasm.

Conner suckled at Daniella's clit causing her to moan loudly, he could only imagine what the rest of their squad was thinking, they could definitely hear everything.

'If you don't want everyone to hear you I'd suggest being more quiet.' Conner whispered telepathically to Daniella.

Daniella responded by lifting haunches and dropping her rear on his face, Conner was ever thankful for his enhanced biology as an Elemental or that definitely would have done some damage.

Conner's legs tensed and Daniella saw the muscles actually ripple under the skin when she dragged her tongue over the tip of his cock.

Daniella continued slowly licking across the tip of Conner's cock, effectively teasing him as he lapped at her entrance. Conner suckled at the dragon's clit again before pushing his face into her crotch, licking as deep as he possibly could. Conner felt a little self conscious that he couldn't pleasure his dragon like a drake could but he decided not to dwell on it because she was clearly enjoying herself and she had so many opportunities to find a drake and she still decided to force herself onto him all those years ago.

Daniella moaned loudly as her first orgasm hit her hard, Conner felt the rippling contractions of her egg laying muscles as he pulled his tongue out of her and wrapped his lips around her clit and started suckling hard to prolong her orgasm.

Daniella was panting hard as she came down from her euphoric high, she smirked before coiling her tongue around the erect and twitching penis in front of her before sinking her maw down onto it and burying her nose into Conner's balls causing him to grunt.

Daniella began bobbing her head and suckling on Conner's member as he tongued her vent and suckled her clit.

Conner felt his groin tighten after only a few minutes and was slightly annoyed that he wasn't going to last but his thoughts were interrupted was his face was soaked by a copious draconic fluids from Daniella climaxing again, it caught Conner off guard causing him to lose focus and explode into Daniella's awaiting maw.

Conner groaned and Daniella moaned around his cock causing him to twitch from overstimulation.

Daniella suckled the last of Conner's seed before coming off him and lapping up everything she could and swallowing, she gave a few more grinds to Conner's face before spinning around and sitting in his lap. Conner looked slightly dazed and he was panting just as hard as she was. Conner reached over the side of the cot and grabbed a towel before wiping his face. Conner propped himself up on his elbows after tossing the towel to the ground.

“God… even though you drive me nuts I can't help but love you more than anything in this world. If I had to sacrifice the entire world to save you I would."

Conner smiled at the dragon's words. “I'd be lying if I said I didn't think the same."

Daniella lied down and rested her head on Conner's chest before she began purring. Conner chuckled and began stroking her neck and scratching behind her ears.

Daniella stretched her tail off the side of the cot and pulled a canteen off the floor, she brought it to her mouth before taking a large sip and swishing it around in her mouth before swallowing, she repeated that four times.

Conner was about to say something but was interrupted by a pair of draconic lips pressing to his own. Daniella closed the canteen and set it on the floor before breaking the kiss.

Daniella looked into Conner's eyes and smiled, she shuffled in his lap slightly until she felt something poke her vagina.

Daniella grinned at Conner before thrusting her hips back, hilting herself on his shaft causing him to gasp.

Conner sat up and wrapped his arms around her neck as she began grinding in his lap.

Daniella raised her hips and slammed down into Conner, causing the cot to creak and Conner to grunt. She moaned loudly as his shaft hit a particular spot inside her that sent a spike of pleasure through her. Conner still had his doubts that he could satisfy Daniella the way a drake could but she sounded like she was enjoying herself so he pushed those thoughts aside as the dragon got herself into a rough rhythm.

Daniella was not very quiet at all and now not only was she moaning loudly but Conner couldn't imagine the slapping sounds were very quiet either. Conner sighed and smiled before hugging the dragon tighter.

Daniella snarled and planted her forepaws on Conner's chest causing him to lose grip on her neck as he was pinned on his back and the dragon picked up her pace, she was getting more rough and sporadic with her movements.

It drove Conner wild how forceful and aggressive she could be in bed, she never hurt him intentionally though and ever since she bit his shoulder she had been much more careful. That was the first and last time she had ever hurt him.

Conner felt his loins tightening and tried to hold back although the dragon beat him to it just barely. Conner was already close and the feeling of Daniella orgasming set him off and he shot ropes into the dragon's welcoming depths.

Daniella squeaked when she felt Conner finish inside her.

Conner let out a grunt when the dragon collapsed on top of him. Both of them were panting hard and their hearts were thudding in their chests.

“That…." Daniella swallowed “Was… amazing!" Daniella gasped through panting.

“Mmmhmm." Conner murmured as his eyes refocused.

“Could you two be any louder?" Scarecrow chuckled from across the campsite.

“I told you to be quiet!"

“Shut it Conner!" Daniella hissed as she picked herself up.

Conner's breath hitched as Daniella took his cock in her mouth and suckled and licked him clean. Daniella smirked before lying down and curling up to reach her vent and cleaned herself out.

Daniella curled around Conner and rested her head on his chest, they both fell asleep in seconds.

Conner crept through the underbrush of the Ukrainian wilderness, the rustle of the wind, the occasional chirp of a bird although that was rare because most birds had flown south and the crunch of snow the only sounds to keep the squad of JTF 2 soldiers company.

Conner adjusted the M82A1 on his back before adjusting his grip on the foregrip of his FN Scar-17. His superiors had given him hell about carrying a sniper rifle and a battle rifle but he managed to convince them, they called him foolish but it was worth the headache when he proved them all wrong by hiking twenty kilometers in one day with both weapons and plenty of ammo. They left him alone about how much gear he carried after that.

The entire squad gave Daniella shit when they woke up that evening, she had been very loud the night before.

“Never heard Conner make a sound but oh my!" Adalinda fluttered her wings as she let out a chuckle “I'm surprised a battalion of Russians didn't rush our camp!"

Daniella just grumbled before trying to hide beside Conner. “I'm not helping you out of this one, I warned you that you were being too loud but all you did was smush my face further into your cro-OOF!" Conner doubled over and landed face first in the snow after Daniella struck him in the gut with her tail.

Conner got up and lunged at Daniella tackling her into the snow, they rolled in a tangle of limbs for a few feet before Conner ended up on top. Conner smirked down at the dragon before quickly getting off her so she couldn't use her weight against him.

“This is Command to Shadow Company Actual."

“This is Shadow 1-1 Actual, what is it Command?"

“Are you still near that town?"

Scarecrow gave Command their coordinates and the person on the other end of the radio at Command mumbled before the sound of papers moving was heard followed by the clicking of keys on a keyboard.

“At your current position if you went straight south you could intercept a Russian supply convoy, the road the convoy was on is five kilometers south and we really want that convoy dealt with."

“Command to Shadow 2-1 Reaper, if things go south, do not hesitate to use it!"

“This is Shadow 2-1 Reaper, I copy Command." Conner responded coldly

“Happy hunting Shadow Company."

“Will do Command, Shadow 1-1 out."

Scarecrow eyed Conner with confusion but decided not to ask because even though his rank was higher, the man owned a multi-billion dollar company that worked with the military on things far out of his pay grade. He knew a lot for his rank.

“Alright Shadows! We have a convoy to deal with." The Captain looked at the Lieutenant again and was losing a battle with his curiosity.

“I'm sorry Captain Steer, it's very classified. MAPMRC business."

Steer only nodded before heading south.

“Kyle!" Conner hissed as he tried to get his squad mates attention “Sergeant Fischer! Quit thinking about Treena and smell the fuckin roses!" Conner snapped as he wiped a snowball at Kyle's head. The snowball collided with the side of his head causing him to shake his head.

Conner glared at his friend before he pointed at the road and gestured for him to watch. Kaida and Adalinda sat hidden on the other side of the road, the two dragons were not a dwarf species so they were twice Daniella's size but they still could hide surprisingly well.

“Wind speed is five kilometers per hour east." Daniella whispered into Conner's ear as he watched the road through his advanced sniper scope of his Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle. The sniper, like his battle rifle, was a personal piece that he used in the field because of its advantages over a regular M82A1.

Conner pulled the mag out of the rifle and checked the ammo before cursing under his breath, he grabbed the charging handle and slid the bolt back causing the cartridge to eject from the chamber.

“What are you doing?" Daniella questioned as Conner picked up the cartridge from the snow and stuffed it back into the magazine before grabbing a magazine from his pack with purple tipped bullets and the bullets weren't bronze coloured, they were a silvery-grey.

Daniella sighed as she had a feeling she knew what that purple tip meant and the bullet was the colour of tungsten. Those bullets were special bullets designed by Conner, Elemental armour penetrating rounds. The bullets had a tungsten titanium jacket, a pure tungsten tip with Element underneath the jacket and a pure tungsten core that was hollow with a thin divider of tungsten with Element inside the upper part and Antimatter in the second part. The bullet had two explosions, the first one occurred when the tip finally broke and the second when the core of the bullet was damaged causing the Element to react with the Antimatter causing bullet to destroy practically any vehicles engine it was fired at and most of the time the Elemental explosion would ignite the vehicles fuel. Element and Antimatter could be combined safely for the creation of power cores and advanced metal alloys infused with the two substances but in this reaction some Elemental gunpowder is used to destabilize the Element. It was explosive ninety percent of the time, they were basically anti tank rounds.

Conner jammed the mag of volatile 50. BMG rounds home before pulling the charging handle back and letting the gun grab the first bullet and send it into the chamber. Conner loved the sound an M82 made when you pulled the charging handle back and let it go.

Conner heard the distant roar of diesel engines and smiled before quickly scrunching up his face and stifling a cough as the awful smell of burning diesel fuel assaulted his nostrils. The burning of gas was nothing in comparsent. It wasn't an amazing smell in his opinion but at least it was tolerable unlike diesel which was horrid.

The convoy finally came into view and Conner got a little nervous, he saw three T-80s, one T-90MS and a T-72.

“Well fuck." Conner muttered “Let's hope the charges we set on the road will be enough to stop them from moving.

Conner looked at the three T-80s taking point around the T-90MS, they seemed to be protecting the T-90. Conner knew who he was shooting, Conner found a spot on the T-90 without reactive armour where he knew his bullet would strike the Tanks ammo rack.

“This is Shadow 2-1 Reaper, I have a clear shot on the T-90s ammo rack, permission to take the shot."

“This is Shadow 1-1 Scarecrow, what the fuck are you gonna do with that M82?"

“Do you trust me Captain?"

“Fine, take the shot."

Conner smiled before he pulled the trigger causing the snow to fall off the trees above him and the snow on the ground around him to jump up ten feet. The T-90s turret launched fifty feet in the air and the bang from the fifty cal was deafening.

“HOLY FUCK REAPER!" Captain Steer exclaimed as he watched the resulting chaos.

The T-90 was completely destroyed and the three T-80s ended up being immobilized by shrapnel, Conner found the T-72 and the semi auto sniper shook the trees again as the T-72s ammo rack and fuel tank exploded in a massive fireball. The trucks tried to escape but the C4 charges on the road went off disabling cargo and troop transports as well as igniting fuel and ammo trucks. Carnage caused by one fifty caliber round and Conner was smiling as the rest of the convoy caught up. He spotted another T-90 tank and lined up his shot before pulling the trigger, the rest of his squad got into a firefight with the surviving troops as Conner kept the tanks distracted looking for a hostile tank that didn't exist. He heard over his advanced comms system, he had hijacked the Russians comms, the shots were too frequent to be a tank but too powerful not to be a tank. A tank finally became wise of where the shots were coming from and fired at his position.

Conner jumped to his feet as a T-80 fired a HEAT round at him, Conner fired at the T-80 causing its ammo to cook off.

“It's a human with a sniper! What the fuck is he shooting from that rifle!" a Russian exclaimed over his radio in Russian as Conner dove into a bush.

Conner's heart sank at the amount of vehicles that he saw in this convoy. “This is Shadow 2-1 Reaper to Command Actual, there's too many hostiles. I may need to deploy it."

“This is Command Actual to Shadow 2-1, this has now become a heavily classified operation. Shadow Company is now off the official records until the public is aware of this weapon."

“Roger Command, Reaper is activating protocol One Man Army."

“Tek suit coming online, good to be in this with you properly sir." the comms were filled with an AI voice that sounded too human.

Conner stepped out of the tree line and fired three missiles, causing chunks of asphalt and vehicle to be sent in the air.

A T-90MS that hadn't been destroyed managed to hit Conner in the chest, sending him flying through a tree.

“THIS IS SHADOW 1-1, REAPER IS DOWN I RE-"

“This is Shadow 2-1, I'm good, fucker got me in the chest! What a way to have the wind knocked out of you. CUNT!" Conner shouted as he fired his railgun at the T-90.

“HOW?" Captain Steer exclaimed over his radio.

“Tungsten titanium alloy infused with Element and Antimatter, it's probably indestructible."

Conner walked back out of the tree line with an obvious scorch mark on his chest, he brushed himself off causing the scorch mark to rub off. A Russian soldier unloaded his rifle's magazine into Conner's torso, Conner turned as the bullets ricochet off of the armour uselessly. He pulled out his revolver and nailed the man in the face before putting it away.

Conner pulled out his Scar and began picking off stragglers hiding among the wreckage as he continued launching missiles at the dwindling number of Russian armour.

“This is Shadow 2-1 Reaper to Command, convoy has been destroyed, there's literally nothing left besides unusable vehicle wreckage. Warn any NATO troops about the new blockade on this access road. Reaper over."

“Copy Reaper, continue as planned back towards base. Command out."

The squad regrouped and Conner walked over before the humming from his armour began quieting down before the armour deconstructed itself. Conner pulled out a small smartphone sized plate from a pouch and it formed into his Scar, he put the sling over his shoulder before smiling at his squad.

“That is something that is gonna take a while to get used to now." Captain Steer chuckled.

Conner just chuckled and Daniella's gear shifted slightly into light armour covering. “He's not the only one." Daniella said with a smile.

“Welcome back to base Shadows!" Colonel Wright said with a smile as the dark clothed JTF2 squad entered the common area of the JTF2 basecamp in Ukraine.

“Thank you Colonel, good to be back and breathing." Conner chuckled as he sat down.

“You guys did fantastic, Command back home wants you guys to take about a week of RNR before going back out there."

“Thank you Commander." Captain Steer said as he walked off to presumably his personal quarters or the showers.

Conner entered his personnel quarters before stripping down and flopping onto his bed, Daniella entered the room shortly after him and discarded her gear in the same pile before flopping onto the bed and wrapping the human in her grasp before quickly joining him in sleep.

To Be Continued…
