Pass The Ammunition

"Overlord! They got bombers homie! We gotta bounce!"

"Bubba get everyone moving out of the caves! Jarrin! Get as many supplies as y'all can carry!"

"Overlord, I might have a plan."

"Ghost, you know I love your plans but right now, surviving this is key!

The Bombers entered Lasalle County, as the Lots Crew managed to pile into any vehicles they could speeding away from Starved Rock. The howling of engines meant bombs. The base was rocked by bombs as the bombers made their way closer to Ottawa. The Lots crew had barely dodged the attack and were following the Overlord and The Ghost toward the Peru in the hopes of living another day.

"Shit that was close."

"We ain't out of trouble yet, we gotta find a place to lay fucking low G."

"Right, I know a place, keep everyone on my ass!"

The Convoy enters Peru as the sounds of more explosions rock the Ottawa area. Arriving in Peru, the sight was gruesome. Bodies littered the street, but hope glimmered in the distance. The local airport was intact, and from the look of things, there were plenty of airplanes.

"Hey! Take another step here and I'll..."

The man was cut short by Bubba putting a round through his head as the crew made their way into an empty hangar.

"Alright, now what Ghost?"

"Now Overlord, we fight back."

With the loading of a CD into the Mustang's radio, "We're not gonna take it" by Twisted Sister began to play as the crew started making the hangar their new base and revealed the TBM Avenger, a World War Two Warbird ready for her second war. With a nod, the Ghost hopped into the cockpit and began going over systems. Logan and Tony began weaponizing any other aircraft that had been left behind. One of which was a PBY Catalina that had been in Peru for an Airshow the day the soldiers came.

"Overlord, I don't mean any disrespect to Ghost's plan, but we don't know how to fly."

"That's why he's gonna teach us. Fuck having a stationary base when we can have ones that fly."

"What about Ottawa, Lots?"

"While Ghost trains most of us how to fly, we gonna rig a little surprise for the dumbasses holding out city hostage."

A few weeks had passed, and everyone knew how to fly and the trap was set. All they needed now was to get the President of the United States to show up.
