19 Contact part 2 (1/2)
”Dude.... Are we even in the right place?” Lyle asked with a lot of doubts. He never doubted Chris when it came to such missions, but he's really starting to doubt his sense of direction. ”I'm three hundred percent fucking sure that this is Chernobyl and that is where the fucking plane crashed!” Chris said as he pointed towards the forest at the distance. Before them was a mountain. A huge fucking mountain. A mountain that touches the sky, even the clouds! But the thing is, there are no fucking mountains in Chernobyl! Only a hill, no mountain. It was still miles away from where they are flying.
”How good is your geography mark?” Lyle asked as he kept looking at the magnificent mountain. ”Good why?” Chris said. To be a pilot, one should have a good geographical and mathematical knowledge. ”Guys, is there anyone among us with great geography mark?” Lyle asked over the comm.
”Uh..... I think Sam majored in geography, why? Is something wrong or did Chris got drunk on coke and brought us to somewhere else?” Flynn asked. ”You'll see soon enough, send Sam in and prepare to disembark soon.” Lyle said over the comm. ”Copy that.” Flynn said and everyone began preparing themselves.
Sam entered the pilot cabin and looked at them, who were staring before them like they saw a ghost in broad daylight. ”What's wrong?” Sam asked and looked towards the direction where they were looking. He finally understood why they were like that. ”Can you confirm if we are in Chernobyl or not?” Lyle asked without shifting his look. ”Let me look.” Sam said and began looking at the map, system map, GPS, which was still working and the mountain.
”This doesn't make any sense....” Sam said while looking at the paper map in his hands. ”What's wrong?” Lyle asked. They have already slowed down their approach.
”This terrain and mapping and coordinates, everything is correct, I'm sure we are one hundred percent in Chernobyl but that..... That's not supposed to be here.” Sam said with disbelief in his voice. ”What are you trying to say? Speak English.” Lyle said.
”What I'm saying is, that mother fucking mountain does not exist or it didn't in the past.” Sam said with a serious expression. ”What? Are you saying that someone put that mountain there like planting a tree? Get reckt.” Chris joked. Sam gave him a glare but the helmet hid his glare.
”Are you sure this is the right place Sam? Maybe it is and that mountain was there right from the beginning right? Mistakes happen when someone get too into study sometimes.” Claire said. ”Claire, unlike your brother, I got one ten percent in geography which is why I became a scout in the team, I'm sure as hell I'm not wrong here.” Sam said with confidence.
”Claire, are the comms working?” Lyle asked. Claire tired contacting MGU but it didn't work. ”Negative, we passed the mile marker, we are in the black zone.” Claire said as she shook her head.
”Fuck.....” Lyle cursed as he began thinking. Such a thing should be informed to the higher ups so that they can do something about it. He's just a solider after all. A very important soldier maybe. ”OK, I have an idea, drop us in the LZ and leave the black zone, contact MGU and come back after hearing what the higher ups say, got it?” Lyle asked.
”Roger that Lieutenant, we're coming up on the LZ, get back.” Chris said. Lyle and Sam left the cabin and rejoined the group. They stood in a 6x2 manner. ”Hiro! Guido! You two stay in ship as guards, rest on me!” Lyle shouted his order. ”SIR YES SIR!” all of them shouted at top of their lungs. Hiro and Guido both came out and stood at each side of the bay. Now they stood in a 5x2 manner. The ship landed on the ground and the bay door slowly opened.
*dam*
”GO! GO! GO!” all ten of them jogged out of the ship and crouched down the moment their feet touched the ground. They were sharp as a sword that just came out of the forge. Their vision was locked on the surroundings while the GEAR's system scanned for any type of movements. Their fingers were on the trigger, ready to unload a world of pain at anything that comes out.
”All units are out, Pigeon taking off, good luck boys.” Chris said as the bay door slowly closed itself while the ship took off. Hiro and Guido watched them from the ship and saluted at them as the door closed. And then the ship went invisible again and fled away.
”Is everyone accounted for?” Lyle asked over the comm. ”Everyone's here and all systems are good.” Reginald said.
”Good, at ease.” Lyle said and they all stood up and eased. The system didn't show any movements in surroundings so they are safe for now. ”Now, what the fuck is that?” Reginald asked. Everyone looked at the huge mountain which was located north west of their position, where they exactly had to go after therendezvous with the Indian team.
”To be honest, I didn't know thirty seconds ago and I don't know now.” Lyle said as he looked at the forest which they had to go through. ”Scan the atmosphere.” Lyle said.

”Good, as long as we stay inside the GEAR, we are good, let's move! Keep ten feet distance and open fire if you see anything hostile!.” Lyle said and started walking toward Northeast to the rendezvous point. Everyone followed his order and followed him.
It's been exactly ten minutes since they began walking. Reginald walked to Lyle's side. ”Lyle, do you think everything will turn out to be fine?” Reginald asked him. ”Why? Are you scared now? It's a little too late to be scared.” Lyle joked while looking at the surrounding as the system scanned everything in the view.
”Scared? Oh hell no, I'm freaking out! You suddenly brought aliens into the equation and now every fucking thing is becoming crazy!” Reginald said. ”Chill out, even if shit hits the fan, we won't be alone.” Lyle said confidently.
