Fourteen years of war nearly destroyed the world. Seven years of peace have barely held it together.

The Seven Nation Army, forged from the ashes of World War III, stopped the bloodshed and vowed to protect the fragile balance. But peace has a price—and not everyone is willing to pay it.

A shadow looms over the fractured world. The New World Order, a ruthless organization born of chaos, plots to tear apart the fragile ceasefire. Their vision? Burn the old world to the ground and rebuild it on their terms.

At the forefront of this conflict, Bravo Squad stands as humanity's shield. Led by Captain Sohel Choudhury, callsign "Ghost," this elite unit faces a daunting task: unravel the NWO's plans before the world is plunged into World War IV. But trust is scarce, alliances are fickle, and the battlefield is no longer confined to nations—it’s everywhere.

Victory isn’t guaranteed, but failure means the end of everything.

“If taking one life can save a thousand, we have to pull the trigger. If that one life is at the end of your barrel, and you won't be able to take the shot, leave this room right now. Because if you don't take the shot, your enemy will. And he won't hesitate. I assembled you here to win a war, not to turn all of you into cannon fodder.”

Sohel took a deep breath and looked out over his squad. “Now, let me ask again, does anybody want to leave? Does anyone here think that he'd not be able to pull the trigger?”

The room buzzed with one synchronized sound, “No, sir.”

Seven Nation Army

Sohel and Naomi were hiding behind a wall looking at the control room across the lobby.Sohel finds it strange that there was a real lack of people. No gunmen were sighted in the whole path they walked to come here. Just then a loud bang was heard from the roof of the south building followed by metal cracking noises. Sohel whispers, "That idiot.Always has to blow something up."

ARIA speaks up, "Sir, we're back online. I've connected back to the UAV."

"Good. Send a signal for backup and show me the UAV feed of the control room."

Sohel sees a holographic model of the control room and all the people inside. Sohel orders ARIA,

"Mark everyone holding a gun hostile. Find optimal breaching method."

A few moments later ARIA projects a simulation in Sohel's glasses. Sohel watches the simulation and explains to Naomi how the breaching would go. They go back to the cafe and pick up two AK47's and come back. They slowly reached the control room door. As Sohel was gonna open the door a speaker in the lobby buzzed.Naser's voice came from the speakers,

"Don't do that my friend. If you value your comrade and childhood friend's life, I'd advise that both of you drop your weapons and come in."

Just as the voice stopped a TV turned on showing the CCTV footage of the control room. Sohel and Naomi were shocked to see Mitali and Jacob pinned to the ground. Hands tied behind their backs and faces bloodied by their own blood.Naomi murmured, "When did he...."

Naser's voice came through the speakers again,

"Come on, my friend. I don't have all day."

Sohel clenches his fist still holding the trigger. But drops the weapon. Naomi drops her weapon too.

"Good boy. Now quickly come inside."

Sohels says something to Naomi and they both open the gate and go inside. Just as they entered the room two people came from behind and pinned them to the ground.
