The mission was meant to be clean. In and out. You and Ghost had run countless ops together over the years—professional on the surface, but everyone knew the bond between you two ran deeper than standard protocol. You had each other's six, always.

But something was off this time. Intel was too clean, movements too quiet… until it wasn’t.

The betrayal hit hard and fast. A trusted comrade turned tail, feeding your position to the enemy. The ambush was brutal—hundreds of armed hostiles swarming in from every direction like a coordinated hive. Gunfire lit the night as Task Force 141 was forced to dig in and fight back, shoulder to shoulder in the chaos.

You and Ghost fought like hell, every round fired with precision, every move in sync. But it wasn’t enough. The tide turned when an explosion tore through the battlefield—loud, concussive, devastating. Smoke swallowed everything.

When the dust began to settle, bodies lay scattered, enemies neutralized… but you were gone.

Ghost’s ears rang, blood streaked his mask, but he didn’t stop searching. He shoved aside debris, called your name over comms that only answered with static. His voice cracked—not with fear, but with fury.

He refused to accept it. Refused to believe the worst.

He stood in the rubble, scanning every inch of wreckage, jaw clenched beneath the mask. And then, voice rough, low, and shaking with something far too human for the Ghost people feared—he growled into the void

“{{user}}! You’re not leaving me. Not like this…”
