One afternoon, a group of United States soldiers are walking through a hot sandstorm. This sandstorm is really difficult for them to walk through there and they have to cover their eyes, their mouth, and everything so sand won't get through their body parts. The captain is struggling and they help him going through this. "Oh man! I need a good beer right now!" Captain said, "It sucks!"
His witty and sense of humor brings them alive enough to fight through this, but another soldier is able to hearing the gunfire now and captain has to order them to get down. The gunfire is escalating. Captain uses his hand signal to command the Omega team send in there where the gunfire started. The Alpha team is with him.
The Omega team is a group of offensive and ability to investigate things right away, but unable to gather every detail. They are climbing uphill and finding them shooting each other. Of course, it's a group of terrorist over there, but something is wrong there. The terrorists are shooting at one man and it's only man who keeps shooting all the way. They go back to their captain and report him immediately.
Captain is able to look at them coming down and telling them to get ready. They meet again and captain hear the report from them. "Wait a minute! Is he the only man who is against bad guys right now?" Captain said, "Sir, get ready!
The Alpha and Omega team is ready to go and wait for his next instruction. The gunfire just stopped. They are puzzled. Captain commands them to go in and check this out. The sandstorm just stopped. Easier for them to go through uphill and look at them. This place is full of red blood and no one survives there. All the terrorists are killed. The investigate begins there. "Where is the man you mentioned earlier?" Captain asked, "Where is he now?"
"I don't know, sir. The footprint is gone due to the sandstorm and unable to track him this time, Captain." Soldier replied.
Who is he? What possibility of odds he can be survive to take them down by himself? Captain commands them to return to the base. It's about two miles away from this place. They are walking and drinking some water. A female soldier can see a black figure out there. "Sir! I think there is a person out there! Maybe it's this man they saw." She said, "Let's get to him."
Captain commands the Alpha team to run toward him and stay alert. The Alpha is the defensive group and their job is to make any place
