Seven men, all wearing matching black gear and equipped with high powered weaponry, stood at attention inside a large dark hangar in front of a large black helicopter. 
 
 Two additional men entered from a nearby door and walked towards the lineup. One of the two wore matching gear to the original seven including the assault rifle and ammo harness, but the other man was only wearing the black skin tight shirt, black cargo pants, black combat boots but was carrying a file folder. The man with combat gear joined the seven at attention while the other addressed them. 
 
 `` Gentlemen. This is Jack Johnson. He'll be replacing Mark Peters, may god rest his soul. Unfortunately we do n't have time for drills to integrate Jack into the team correctly. Luckily however, Jack is specialized in long range and solo operations which he'll be performing in this mission, so the camaraderie can wait. As you're aware we have a mission, but what you're not aware of, is that it's not a standard operation. Your current gear will have to be returned to the quartermaster. Your equipment should be arriving shortly. I want you out front in fifteen.'' the commander ordered. 
 
 The men scattered and began removing their gear and placing it on a table near a large caged off room in the corner of the hanger. 
 
 `` So, Jack... Solo and long range ops. That's like a sniper right?'' The shortest of the eight asked. 
 `` Yeah. Forty-eight solo missions, ninety-two confirmed kills.'' Jack replied. 
 `` Impressive, Mark only had nineteen confirmed kills when he started. I'm Frank, this is Jeff, Mark Rodrigez AKA M.K. 2, Rod McGavin, Kyle, Kilroy and tiny over there is Oscar.'' the short man finished. 
 `` I'm looking forward to working with you.'' Jack continued. `` Introduced and immediately sent into a mission, that's not common is it?'' 
 `` No.'' Answered Jeff `` I've been doing this for almost fourteen years and it's never happened before. Usually they'd send the Bravo, Charlie, Delta or Echo. Something big must be happening.'' 
 `` Hey newbie, what do you prefer, Laser, Plasma or good ol' fashioned lead?'' Mark asked. 
 `` Being a long range specialist, Laser. But each one has their advantages and disadvantages and I'm perfectly capable of using whatever is required for the situation.'' Jack stated flatly as if it were a programmed response. 
 `` Already you sound just like Peters. Me, I'm a plasma man. Just got ta tag them and they burn up into dust.'' Mark continued. 
 `` Shame plasma and laser weaponry is too expensive for standard issue.'' Rod joked. `` This job would be easy as hell if we did n't have to aim for a target the size of a coconut every time we fired.'' 
 The group shared a laugh and headed towards the exit. 
 
 Outside the eight men stood at attention as a military convoy of four military escort vehicles surrounding a large supply rig pulled up to the hangar. The commander walked towards the convoy and displayed his military credentials, signed some papers on the clipboard and ordered the crew to unload the rig. 
 
 `` Alright soldiers, Mission briefing. As you know this is n't some minor event. We're effectively a man down due to lack of squad training, but this is an emergency situation. We'll be rendezvousing with Bravo, Charlie, Delta and Echo. Military intelligence found a dragon.'' the commander stated. `` Get your gear and get on the chopper, we head out in one hour.'' 
 
 The men walked over to the equipment boxes unloaded off the supply truck. Each one labelled with a name. Jack found the one labeled Mark Peters and opened it. Inside was a weapon that was like nothing he's ever seen. 
 `` What the hell is this? This is n't a plasma weapon, it does n't have any heating coils. It also has an ammo system, so it's not a laser weapon. No hammer or anything so it's definitely not lead.'' he asked quietly to no one in particular. 
 `` That is the Magnetized Near Light Speed Projectile System. AKA a railgun. You ever use one before?'' The commander interrupted. 
 `` No sir.'' Jack replied standing at attention. 
 `` You know how to use a laser rifle right? It's the same principle, just that there's a massive kick after. I hope you did n't have plans on using your shoulder for the next week.'' The commander quipped sarcastically. 
 `` No sir.'' Jack remained at attention. 
 `` There's instructions in the box, read them and familiarize yourself with the weapon. You'll need it.'' The commander said solemnly. 
 `` Yes sir.'' Jack stated. 
 The commander walked off towards Kilroy, past Oscar and Frank. 
 
 `` Hey, Oscar. What's... what's going on? I've killed some weird stuff, but what's this about a Dragon?'' Jack called over to Oscar. 
 `` You know how sometimes Undead can get stuck together or just attach an extra limb to themselves? So you get like, something with four arms?'' Oscar asked. 
 `` Yeah.'' Jack replied. 
 `` Well, an egg is when you get like hundreds of bodies all fusing together without thought. Eggs are n't a problem because they fuse in a way that makes it unable to move, it's just a big ball of flesh, you start it on fire or whatever and it's done. A dragon is like that but instead of fusing randomly, it fuses intelligently leaving you with a giant undead monster that's capable of doing serious damage and withstanding most weaponry. The danger is that it's smart enough to ditch limbs that are on fire, so even using plasma weapons is n't super effective against it. If it's large enough it'll take way too long to kill. That's why we pull out the rail guns. They'll punch a hole twelve feet wide and thirty feet into the ground. Based on the fact that all five squads are being called in. I'd say this thing is big with a capital B. I. G.'' Oscar finished. 
 `` Okay, so I just shoot at it'til I hit the head.'' Jack replied. `` Why are they sending everyone in?'' 
 `` Your fancy railgun there... It packs quite the punch. You ca n't fire that thing from the chopper or it'll kill everyone on board. You got ta set it up, dig it deep into the ground. It's simple, just press the button the manual tells you to. But that means you got ta be on the ground, and remember Dragons are intelligent undead which means...'' Oscar informed. 
 `` Which means it probably has control of a bunch of mindless undead and you guys hold them off while I set up. I get it.'' Jack finished.
