Task Force

We take a step back again, and follow a smal squad that continues to fight the Special Operations during the Invasion.

The Invasion of Earth by the Arc did not put a hold on the war with the Special Operations. One section of a Taskforce was left outside of the barrier that the ship created. Five members of the OS 417 Taskforce continue their mission to fight the Special Operations at all costs.

Eli Holoum watched in the skies as the massive alien ship hovered over the school. Eli and his three friends James, Kate, and Jeremy watched from outside the enormous energy barrier as alien-creatures descended from the ship to the ground below and began fighting with Operation School. Jeremy, in anger, rushed towards the barrier and threw his whole body against it trying to break it open. 
"Jeremy calm down" Kate said "There is no way we can get through that."
"But we have to help them, we have to!"
"Kate's right Jeremy" Eli said, walking towards his friend "They can handle themselves in there, I know they can."
"I understand what you’re trying to say Eli but we have to do something we can't just sit idly by while Operation School gets slaughtered!" James said. 
"We aren't going to, Zeta show them want we are to do."
Zeta, Elis A.I, projected a map of the city of Boston.
"Just prior to the invasion" Zeta began "We managed to discover where the Special Operations were operating from."
The map zoomed in on a small Island just off of Boston.
"They are operating from here, Spectacle Island. We are going to launch an attack on the island for two reasons, 1. When Operation School comes out of this invasion they are going to be extremely weakened and will need all the help they can get now. And 2. The leader of the Special Operations is supposedly at the Spectacle Island base."
"Well how are we going to get there?" Jeremy asked
"It’s an Island and we are hundreds of miles away with no transports." He gestured to the school, which was behind the barrier. Eli then spoke up "Oh, I planned that part myself."

4 hours later...
The four moved under the cover of the night. They moved to the edge of a cliff that looked over small military base. The plan was risky. They were going to move in and steal a vehicle for their own use and would probably become engaged in a firefight. The base was under Special Operations control however it was so secretly and the U.S believed it was still theirs. Attacking would mean both the diminished U.S military and the Special Operations would be after them.
"You all ready?" Eli asked.
They all shook their heads in agreement.
"Let’s go."
"Prepare to Drop" Zeta said.
"Where have I heard that before?" Eli responded.

"Go, Go, Go!" Eli said sliding down the clifface. Jeremy and Kate followed, but James stayed behind using a sniper. As the three slid down they pulled their masks over their faces. They landed on the ground and began to quickly and silently move toward the garage. Through the radio James gave them instructions. "Stop moving, enemy patrol is passing by."
The group stopped and hid behind a couple of crates.
"Alright they've passed, move."
The group continued to move towards the garage.
"Your about to enter a small ceilinged section of the base. The garage is on the other side. Get the Humvee and get out."
Eli led the other two inside. The second they entered they came face to face with a guard.
"Hey! Who are you?!" The guard shouted. Eli grabbed his knife and slashed the guard to quiet him down. But it was too late. James came on over the radio "Eli they know you three are in there, move!"
Eli, Jeremy, and Kate made a break for the motor pool. They all heard gunshots ringing out behind them and saw bullets flying past their faces. Finally they reached a jeep. Eli climbed into the driver’s seat and Jeremy grabbed shotgun. Kate ten took gunner. Eli drove the jeep out of the garage and around a bend while Jeremy and Kate fired on the soldiers. Kate kicked the side door open and James rolled down the mountain and jumped into the jeeps passenger seat. The jeep then hit the road and drove off towards Boston.

Once they were clear of the base Kate came down from the gunner’s position. "Now that was sloppy." She said.
Eli laughed "Hey, next time you can drive in the storm of bullets in the death defying escape attempt."
"Hey James." Jeremy said.
"Yeah?"
"Look for some weapons back there okay."
The group sat in silence while James rummaged around in the back. Suddenly he plopped something onto Elis lap. 
"This is all I could find."
"What is it?" Eli asked while he inspected the sleek design and watched the road.
"It’s the .44 Magnum Revolver."
"Hmm... Not as classy as a Desert Eagle, but it will do.

The jeep, after driving for two hours, pulled into a gas station. The station was deserted along the highway. Jeremy hid the gun, Kate went inside to buy snacks, James began to fill the truck, and Eli simply went for a walk.
"Zeta I don't know. Fighting the Special Operations is one thing but attacking the U.S itself is kind of crazy."
"Yes but it is all for the good of the whole."
"You better hope you're right."
"I know I am."
As he said this a police officer pulled into the gas station. He parked and walked over to James. James was still wearing his mask at the time. 
"Hey buddy you know what this thing is."
"Yeah it's mine."
"No it's government property. One of these babies was stolen in New York today. I'm going to have to ask you to come with me."
Eli walked up behind the Officer. "Officer what seems to be the problem?"
"I was just telling your buddy here how this is a stolen government vehicle and how I'm going to have to bring both of you down to the station."
Eli began to approach the officer "Oh that's funny because I believe that--" Eli took out the Magnum and fired 3 shots into the officer’s chest. 
"James get in the car." I'll go get the others."

Within seconds the store manager who had witnessed what happened had called 911 and a police chopper was on its way.
"Kate come on we've got to go." Eli said pulling Kate out the door. Once all four were in the car, Eli sped away quickly. The chopper was right on their tale and was firing fast and accurately, trying to destroy the jeep. 
"Jeremy take the wheel."
Eli let go of the wheel and climbed up on the gun. He constantly fired shot after shot into the helicopter while bullets hit the roof all around him. Finally he brought the Helicopter down. The flaming wreckage crashed behind him and he drove off into the night retaking the wheel.
