'Peace is our profession.' read the sign. Hartman led four marine rookies to walk towards the base where Ripper had already put on condition red. The group got stopped by two of Ripper's base guards at the gate. 'Open the gate and let us in, scumbag.' yelled Hartman. The two looked at each other for a second, and one immediately threw out a Mark two. The bomb exploded and killed a rookie instantly . 'You little scumbags!' Hartman, who had jumped behind a pile of wasted boxes sprayed the M14 at the guards. One guard got shot in the chest and fell down. Meanwhile, up in the office, Ripper silently gazed at the gate where a fight had been put on. 'The Russians, they have arrived, Mandrake.' He finished his cigar and stood up. Then he took out a large golf pack from the closet. As he zipped up the backpack and revealed an M1919 Browning Machine Gun. 'Listen up, Mandrake, I need you to hold this for me.' Down at the gate, Private Joker succeeded in taking down the second guard with his M14 . Joker, following Hartman's order, marched in , only to be shot down by the final guard who had been hiding behind the jeep with a Springfield . 'Damn, I got you damn little...' Hartman ordered another rookie to threw out an M67 and boomed the guard into pieces . The three marine ran down the base and approached the office building when Ripper aimed his machine gun at the soldiers and began firing randomly. Hartman and one rookie were able to dodge into the building while the other rookie received four bullets on the back . 'Mandrake, I think those commies are inside. ' Ripper kicked the door open and went out in the corridor. Mandrake, who was confused and fearful indeed, had no choice but to follow Ripper. They walked to the stairs. Ripper held his machine gun up and aimed it at the lower part of the stairs. Mandrake, who was terrified, gasped in haste. 'I'll show those scumbags....' Hearing the coarse words, Ripper began firing without hesitating . Hartman also began to spray his m60 at Mandrake who attempted to attack them behind the fences. Mandrake screamed and died as soon as Ripper killed the last Rookie with his m1919 . Realizing that they're both out of ammos, both men took out the m1911a1. Ripper shot five bullets out, but all of them missed the target. Then, Hartman appeared behind the fence and took down Ripper with all his bullets left. Ripper coughed blood out of his mouth and bashed himself to the wall . 'I'm in charge of here now, scumbag.' Muttered Hartman.
Winner: G. Sgt. Hartman
