3rd Pov

Captain MacMillan and "Leftenant" Price wait on the top floor of the hotel. The clock shows time passing by. They are positioned on the top floor of a hotel across the target area.

Cpt. MacMillan: Leftenant Price, the meeting is underway. Enemy transport sighted entering the target area.

Price mans the M82 .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle. He looks through the scope and zooms into the target area where Ultranationalists have gathered.

Cpt. MacMillan: The wind's gettin' a bit choppy. You can compensate for it, or you can wait it out, but he might leave before it dies down. It's your call. Remember what I've taught you. Keep in mind variable humidity and wind speed along the bullet's flight path. At this distance, you'll also have to take the Coriolis Effect into account.

Zakhaev is seen coming out of a vehicle with a briefcase filled with gold.

Cpt. MacMillan: Ok... I think I see him. Wait for my mark. Target acquired. I have a positive I.D. on Imran Zakhaev. Steady...keep an eye on that flag. Watch for any change in wind speed and direction.

Zakhaev is seen making a deal with the soldiers, wanting stashes of weapons and nuclear material for the gold. Price can see the flag waving left and right with the wind, which he can use if he decides to take the shot early by applying the Coriolis Effect to take out Zakhaev. Suddenly, a helicopter will fly in front of them.

Cpt. MacMillan: Ach, where did he come from? Patience laddie... Wait for a clear shot...

The helicopter flies away. Price continues to aim at Zakhaev. Zakhaev can be seen talking with his dealers, he raises his arms in frustration as if there was something wrong with the deal. The flag can be seen gradually becoming still as the wind settles, making it easier for him to take the shot. Price clenches his sniper tightly and sweat bullets are appearing.

Cpt. MacMillan: It's now or never, take the shot!

Price fires the rifle, making the bullet tears off Zakhaev's left arm. The Ultranationalists are immediately alerted upon seeing Zakhaev get his arm amputated but don't know where the shot came from and immediately clear out in a panic.

Cpt. MacMillan: Nice shot. I think you blew his arm off. Shock and blood loss will take care of the rest.

The helicopter from before reappears, having seen where Price shot from, and moves in to attack from close range.

Cpt. MacMillan: Shit... they're onto us! Take out that helicopter, it'll buy us some time!

Price fires at the helicopter, killing the pilot, and it goes down in flames. The cockpit windshield turns red as the pilot's blood splatters on the inside of the glass.

Cpt. MacMillan: Great shot Leftenant! Now let's go! They'll be searching for us! It's time to move! We'll have to take the shortcut! Follow my lead!

MacMillan and Price rappel out of the hotel as two more helicopters fire and blow up the top floor. Price takes out his M21, and they begin to make their way to the LZ.

Cpt. MacMillan: Leftenant Price, follow me! Delta Two-Four, this is Alpha Six! We have been compromised, I repeat we have been compromised, now heading to Extraction Point Four!

Big Bird: Alpha Six, Big Bird is en route. ETA - 20 minutes. Don't be late. We're stretchin' our fuel as it is. Out.

They pass the enemy and run toward an apartment.

Cpt. MacMillan: We'll lose 'em in that apartment! Come on!

They go through the apartment. As they climb a small alley to another apartment, a dog barks up the fence. Price shuts it up by killing it. They move through the apartment. Enemy troops are seen outside.

Cpt. MacMillan: Standby...! Quick, plant a claymore by the door up ahead!

Price plants a claymore by the door. An enemy walks by and is killed by the explosion. MacMillan and Price come out into a grassy ally, enemy troops come out of the apartment across them.

Cpt. MacMillan: More behind us!

They kill their enemies. To make it hard, a helicopter appears.

Cpt. MacMillan: Incoming helicopter! Snipe the bastard! Price, shoot the helicopter! We'll take it down together! Take out that helicopter, hit the rotor!

Price shoots the helicopter and damages its rotors, it starts to spin around.

Cpt. MacMillan: Goodnight ya bastard...

The helicopter hits the apartment, firing its missiles, and crashes toward MacMillan.

Cpt. MacMillan: Ahhh...crap! - Run!

MacMillan runs but falls to the ground, injuring his leg. The helicopter crashes and stops just inches away from him. He catches the one rotor blade that didn't shear to pieces as much as the other blades did with his hand, stopping it inches from his body.

Cpt. MacMillan: Crap, I can't move! Sorry mate, you're gonna have to carry me!

Price helps up MacMillan. From here, Price must carry MacMillan the rest of the way to the LZ. His movement is restricted to a walking pace when he's carrying MacMillan.

Cpt. MacMillan: If we run into trouble, you'll have to find a good spot to put me down so I can cover you. The extraction point is to the southwest. We can still make it if we hurry.

Price begins to carry him toward the extraction point. Enemies appear ahead of them.

Cpt. MacMillan: Hostiles closing from the west.

Price eliminated the enemy troops.

Cpt. MacMillan: It's time to move, give me a lift.

Price helps up MacMillan and heads towards an apartment.

Cpt. MacMillan: Head for that apartment, we'll try to lose 'em in there.

They reach the second floor of the apartment. Price puts down MacMillan to clear out the rooms of enemy troops and dogs. 

Cpt. MacMillan: Looks like we're in the clear, we should get moving.

Price carries MacMillan out of the apartment and continues toward the extraction point. A Russian loudspeaker can be heard from a distance in the background.

Cpt. MacMillan: We're almost there. The extraction point is on the other side of that building.

Price and MacMillan enter the building. At the deep end of the swimming pool, four dogs are feeding on a carcass. Outside, there are two guards; Price kills them. They come to the Pripyat Ferris Wheel at the Palace of Culture.

Big Bird: Alpha-Six, this is Big Bird. Standing by for your signal, over.

Cpt. MacMillan: Our helicopter is standing by at a safe distance. Put me down behind the Ferris wheel where I can provide sniper support. This'll be fine.

Price puts down MacMillan at a spot of grass behind the Ferris wheel.

Cpt. MacMillan: Take the rest of my claymores, now is the time to use them. And if you have any claymores left, now is the time to use them. The enemy is bound to enter this area, so find a good sniping position. I'll signal the helicopter in thirty seconds.

Price plants claymores all around the area. He also set up C4 to detonate at a later time.

Cpt. MacMillan: Find a good spot to snipe from and go prone.

Price prone in a sniping position.

Cpt. MacMillan: Alright lad, I've activated the beacon. Good luck.

Big Bird: Alpha-Six. We have a fix on your position. Hang tight. Big Bird out.

Price prepares for the enemies to come. MacMillan sees the enemies entering the area.

Cpt. MacMillan: Tangos in sight. Let them get closer. Standby to engage... Open fire.

They begin to snipe out enemy troops trying to enter the area. The claymores explode as they walk past them. Price detonates any C4 he's placed in the area. 

Cpt. MacMillan: Pay attention!

The four dogs from the pool also enter the fray, but they attack the enemies. It might be dumb, but it is a good strategy when holding out until evac. As enemies are eliminated, helicopters arrive and drop more troops.

Cpt. MacMillan: Enemy choppers inbound!

More enemy reinforcements enter the area. They continue firing and killing all the remaining soldiers, but every time one leaves, another appears.

Cpt. MacMillan: Big Bird we are heavily outnumbered, where are you?

Big Bird: Copy that Alpha, we'll be there ASAP. Hold tight.

They hold off for a total of a staggering four minutes. Big Bird finally arrives, landing and dropping off a squad of friendly U.S. Marines to assist in holding off the enemy troops.

Big Bird: Alpha Team, this is Big Bird. Get your ass on board, over.

Price carries MacMillan to the helicopter supported by the Marine squad. Once Price and MacMillan are on board, the Marines withdraw inside themselves. They evacuate out of Pripyat.

(Y/n) Pov

Wow, I'd never known Captain Price would be a softie while being a Leftenant. 

Price: Your brother was something. Despite that name Soap, he's just like me when I was a Leftenant.

(Y/n): Is that why you put him under his wing?

Price: Yes, just like what MacMillan did for me. 

(Y/n): I don't know what to say, Captain.

Price: You don't need to. For now, get some rest, then we'll continue tomorrow. 

(Y/n): Okay then.

I stood up and walk away.

Price: Wait.

(Y/n): What is it?

Price: Thank you for listening to my story. 

(Y/n): You're welcome Captain.

I walk to a corner and I see Arthur still awake and sharpening her sword. 

(Y/n): You know, I'd never seen you use that sword.

Arthur: I'd use it rarely.

(Y/n): Is it because to prevent rust or tears?

Arthur: Pretty much.

(Y/n): I see, we should get some rest and prepare for tomorrow.

Arthur: Right, rest well.

(Y/n): Right back at you.

I lay down and went to sleep.
