Quebec, Canada; Stadium

Derek POV

You stared at the man with a shocked expression that no one else could see.

Derek: Mr. Hughes?

Mr. Hughes: I see you still recognized this old man after so long.

Derek: I could never forget the father to my lovers face.

Mr. Hughes: Care to have a little chat?

Derek: Lead the way sir.

New Location: Bench outside of stadium

You sat next to the man as he you both stared out to see cars drive by and the occasional bird flying past.

Mr. Hughes: It really has been awhile.

Derek: Yes, it has.

He noticed the sorrow in your voice

Mr. Hughes: It wasnt your fault for what happened.

Derek: I'm just sorry that the first time I met you, was for a terrible reason.

Mr. Hughes: While you're not wrong that it was a bad first meeting, I'm just glad she was able to spend her last moments with the person she loved.

Derek: But I-

Mr. Hughes: Dont be so hard on yourself son, its how war goes. We all sacrificed our lives for the better of our country.

Derek: I was the squad leader though, I was supposed to protect her with my own life.

Mr. Hughes: A leader is no good if they're the first ones gone.

Derek: I couldve atleast done something to save her and Stone. I always wished that I was the one who was shot.

Mr. Hughes: You need to keep looking forward, where would you end up if you keep looking behind.

Derek: How am I supposed to look forward if I can't even do the simplest thing as protecting her.

Mr. Hughes: Because I still look forward. It's been 4 years however it still feels like it was yesterday, but what keeps me going forward is knowing that she died happy.

Derek: She really was a beautiful woman.

Mr. Hughes: She got that from her mother.

Derek: Her stubbornness from you aswell.

Mr. Hughes: *chuckles* Yea she did always want to be like me.

It was quiet for a bit until you started silently laughing.

Derek: I still remember the first time I laid eyes on her during basic. Her face was so angelic but her eyes showed determination.

Mr. Hughes: I was very proud to see her standing tall after basic.

Derek: Whenever we sparred I used to play around with her since I could never take her serious. It was to the point where she actually ended up kicking my shin as hard as she could. Looking back at it now, I'm pretty sure she fractured it.

Mr. Hughes: She was always Fiesty when it came to pushing her limits. *starts getting up* Alright, I beat be heading back to the states. It was good to finally see you again... Derek.

He moved his hand up in front of you and you took it. He helped you up and you both gave a firm handshake.

Derek: It was good to see you Mr. Hughes, I'll be sure to come visit from time to time.

Mr. Hughes: Do as you please, we enjoy the company. You've grown so much.

Derek: I have to ask though, how did you know my name?

Mr. Hughes: Anna always sent us letters telling us about her time in the military. Its why I came here to find you, she wanted you to have this.

He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a piece of paper.

Mr. Hughes: Weeks before her death, she sent us a letter with this inside, strictly stated that only you can read it.

You took the piece of paper and held it in your hand as you stared at it. He put a hand on your shoulder.

Mr. Hughes: Even though she is gone, I'm still proud to call you my own son. She really did find someone who made her happy. Never forget who you're fighting for.

He began to walk away as you still stared at the piece of paper. His voice echoed in your head as you remembered that day.

Derek: I wont forget about her.

You put the piece of paper in your pocket and walked back into the stadium. You met back up with your squad.

Mickey: Oh good you're back, you missed the first game.

Derek: So what happens now?

Frost: Right now, we're seeing what they have in store for us for the next season of their game about us.

IQ: Yea, its honestly exciting on how they get to know more about us every season.

Ashley: As in, they interview?

Frost: Not interview, they document. Gain information about who we are as a person and then they implement it into their game.

*** I know this isn't how they do the panels for reveals but I mean, I don't know. I'm improvising. I'm making up names***

A man walked out onto the stage and stood infront of the crowd.

Mohammed: 2021 means alot of things, one thing in particular is a brand new year for Rainbow Six Siege. However we are bringing a twist to the start of a new year. In season 1 of year 6, we won't be introducing any new operators. It is with great interest that we decided that this season will not be about any new operators, because there are no new operators in Team Rainbow. This does not mean Rainbow Six Siege will have the enjoyment and quality of life that every season brings. We are still going to bring that with this new year and new season. Welcome, to Operation Phoenix.

The screen behind him began to show a video. It wasnt real however a cinematic. A door opened as you saw Harry sitting at his desk.

Harry: Ah Eliza, you've finally arrived.

Ash: What is it that you needed Harry.

Harry: I wanted to speak with you about a new idea that I have been thinking about.

You watched as the animated Eliza sat down with Harry passing her a file that read Taskforce.

Ash: Harry, are you really sure you want to add a taskforce to Rainbow? Who would even be a part of it.

Harry: All of the information is in file, with the contents inside, I'd say you'd agree with me on this.

The screen faded to black as it showed a newer scene, it showed a snowy road with a white mask falling to the ground. He turned around and slowly back up as you heard a set of footsteps grow louder and closer. The camera cut close to his eyes through his slit mask as you saw his pupils dilate. He began to plea.

White Mask: N-no please WA-

He was silenced by a gunshot. The camera began to move to the foot of the unknown and move up their body. It was revealed to be you. The animated you holstered your glock.

Derek: Come on lets go, sunrise will be in a couple hours. This is our only time to strike.

Mickey: Yea we get it.

He handed you your HK-416

Mickey: Loosen up a bit, no need to be so stubborn when on a mission.

Derek: Lets just move to the compound.

The camera stood still as the 7 of you walked down the road disappearing into darkness. The screen went to black.

Mohammed: Operation Phoenix brings a new playstyle when it comes to having no new operators, but we are proud to introduce the new taskforce unit into our game. Each with their own special playstyle. Colt, thermal with smoke grenades that can be far more beneficial than Glaz. Mickey, with his MK-14 EBR, he is able to stick back or push forward with his team and pick off defenders decided to get too close to windows or doors. Bulldog, Him with his high magazine LMG, he can be used for suppressing fire, or defense. Demo, can help with reinforced walls or hatches and also comes prepared with breaching charges to bring the explosions he loves to see. NATO, might only have the MP7 SMG, NATO can hack into defender cams without taking one of their phones. Just be in close proximity to a defender and pull out his tablet and quickly hack into that defenders phone. Or even if needed, NATO can also hack and use echo drones and other defender gadgets. Patch, is able to help heal his attacking team with another exclusive feature for him is that when he revives an attacker, the attacker gains back half of their health. And lastly Phoenix, might not bring alot, however her HK-416C has an attached grenade launcher that can be used to destroy soft walls, barricades, or an unlucky defender who crosses its path. We are proud to be able to bring this unit into our game and you'll be able to learn more about this season in our reveal later today.

You were still listening to the man speak until you felt a hand slam down on your shoulder.

Bulldog: Well would you look at that, what were you saying earlier about only the operators being popular LT.?

Derek: I'm just surprised is all.

Frost: Oh also might be a good time to tell you that you're all participating in the next six tournament in a few weeks.

Derek: Really?

Frost: Ofcourse, Six wants you all to show your skills in combat.

You smirked under your mask.

Derek: That was the biggest mistake he could he ever make.

To be continued.
