A/N: Another day, another story!

This time I wasn't really glad with the twisting of COD: Ghosts… I grew somewhat fond to the main bad guy Rorke and just wasn't really happy with his fate. Ok, yes, I agree that he was a jerk from the moment he killed Elias but I would like to see some bad guys have a change of heart for the first time in forever!

Anyway, this is my twist to the story as I would have liked to see it happen. :)

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything from the COD series.

Enjoy!

Rorke was lying on the ground of the plane with Elias holding him by his throat. In front of them was the open back hatch of the cargo area. After that there was nothing but free sky hundreds of feet off the ground.

Through many tries, from light ones to the harsh beating, Rorke still refused to give any information on Federation's future plans. Or the clarification of what took them to break one of the toughest Ghosts. By the time Elias had enough of constant trying and pulling the unreachable information out of his former mentor's head.

From the first encounter with the Ghosts Elias took a shine of admiration to their leader. From the very beginning Rorke was showing his leadership skills and talents to successfully finish every mission he and his team were tasked with. At the time he seemed unbreakable. But after his disappearance everyone slowly lost hope. After he was declared MIA and presumably dead everyone sad their goodbyes with the highest honour of his memory. A memory of a legend.

Elias, as everyone, was both shocked and deeply hurt from the first hint of him still being alive but after their guts under the orders of the Federation.

If they were able to shatter him there is no telling what they could do to others in half of its time. Elias had to protect them at all cost, not only as their leader and superior but also as their friend.

"It's over Rorke. We beat you!" The constant rumbling of the wind muffled some of Elias' words yet the danger and threat in them was loud and clear. But Rorke seemed to miss all that. He simply smiled and looked at Elias with amusement. "You haven't beaten me Elias... You just made my job a hell of a lot easier!"

Elias widened his eyes in surprise. But before he could do anything the clouds in front of him revealed a black Federation plane and smaller hunters aiming their munitions at their location ready to shoot. Elias stood up and stepped away in realisation.

'Rorke was planning this all along.'

"Get back! Get back! BACK!"

No sooner the Federation plane shot its harpoons which heavily attached to their cargo plane and roughly shook it. Elias started to move everyone to the other side of the plane. Logan on his right aimed his gun at the plane hanging on the brief hope of breaking the zip lines. He started to shoot but less than a moment afterwards the bigger plane pulled back rapidly and Logan as everyone else was shot backwards. Somehow by luck Logan was able to hold on to a blockage which prevented him from falling out of the ripped front of the cargo plane. He could only hope that his team's 'chutes weren't damaged with the fall.

Rorke, still lying on the ground, was lifted in the air at the pull. The chair he was strapped on was the only thing giving him a slight security of not falling out of the plane as Elias and others. While in the air he managed to slip off the ropes binding him and landed on his feet inches from Logan's fingers grasping on to the blockage. Now standing upright Rorke lowered his head to look at him. Logan could see armed Federation soldiers landing on each side of him, ready to secure and lift former Ghost safely off the deadly damaged plane.

Not minding them Rorke crouched towards Logan.

"If you made it out of this kid, come find me!" Another soldier landed beside Rorke, ready to hook pull him up. As the soldier went behind Rorke's back to attach him to the zip-line others on the sides were ready to leave and started to abandon the plane. Seeing the opportunity and not waiting any longer Logan shot up and grabbed Rorke by his ankle.

Rorke in surprise froze for a moment and Logan, seeing his chance, pulled him down and out of the grip of Rorke's soldiers, letting go of the blockage in the process. The soldiers still on the plane started shooting but were too late as the downfall was quick. Milliseconds later Logan was in the mid-air, free-falling with the greatest enemy of the Ghosts.

A/N: Chapter one. :) Shall I continue? Remember to R&R and don't be shy to advise me on any ideas! :D
