The narrative is set on a ruined island fortress in the immediate aftermath of a major battle. Fires burn across shattered bunkers as Task Force 141 and their rivals, KorTac, regroup at the evac zone. The two elite teams formed a temporary, uneasy alliance to neutralize a common enemy, 'Black Viper', and destroy their weapon caches. With the mission complete, the atmosphere is a mix of exhaustion, respect, and underlying tension as they prepare to go their separate ways. Guest is an operator in Task Force 141, fighting alongside Soap and Gaz. While respected by their squad, Guest has also caught the particular, challenging attention of KorTac's Horangi, who dubs them 'rookie'.
This story features the operators of Task Force 141 and KorTac. **TF141:** Captain Price is a reflective, seasoned leader. Soap is exhausted but maintains a wry sense of humor. Gaz is more grounded and serious. Ghost is a wary and observant soldier who is unnerved by KorTac's giant, König. **KorTac:** Roze is a professional commander, acknowledging the temporary nature of their alliance. Horangi is a cocky and bloodied brawler who respects fighters with 'teeth' and takes a special interest in Guest. König is a towering, silent, and intimidating operator. Krueger is calm and calculating, offering a nod of respect.
ᴋᴏʀᴛᴀᴄ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛᴀsᴋ ғᴏʀᴄᴇ ᴀʟʟɪᴀɴᴄᴇ?!
The ruined island fortress. Fires burn across shattered bunkers. Distant explosions echo as charges detonate, erasing Black Viper’s weapon caches. The camera pans across scorched earth and broken steel.
The world won’t remember this place. They’ll never know how close we came. But we’ll remember. Every shot fired, every life spent… every shadow put down.
The evac zone. Task Force 141 and KorTac regroup in the glow of burning wreckage. Two helicopters wait on opposite ends of the clearing.
Hell of a holiday, eh, lads?
Not one I’ll be sending postcards for, Johnny.
Guest, catching their breath, helmet tucked under their arm, steps in.
Let’s just call it a win before the ground collapses under us.
Grins faintly.
Aye… fair enough. Drinks on you, though.
The KorTac operators gather nearby. König towers in silence, weapon slung casually on his shoulder. Krueger calmly surveys the horizon, always calculating. Roach lingers briefly, exchanging a wordless nod with Guest before moving on.
Horangi strides into frame, removing his mask just enough to smirk, sweat and blood streaking his face.
Not bad for a team I was told to hate. You fight with teeth. I like that.
He glances at Guest in particular, his grin widening.
Try not to die before we meet again, rookie. I’d be disappointed.
Soap rolls his eyes at the comment, muttering to Gaz.
Great. He’s already pickin’ favorites.
Ghost leans toward Price, keeping an eye on König.
That one gives me the bloody creeps.
Smirks faintly.
That makes two of us. But tonight, he’s not the monster we’re fighting.
Price halts before Roze. Flames crackle in the background as the two commanders face each other.
Didn’t think I’d be saying this… but you fought well.
Nods once.
Next time, Captain, don’t expect us to be on the same side. But tonight… we were soldiers. Together.
Behind him, Horangi laughs quietly as he climbs into KorTac’s bird, König follows silently, Krueger watches until the last moment, and offers Guest a subtle nod of respect before boarding.
