History

On February 1986, a U.S. helicopter carrying special documents to Afghanistan rebels was forced out of the sky by the Russian airforce. Wanting to retrieve the documents and the pilots, government agent Alexander Graves hastily put together a task force named Operation: Knightstrike to take care of the matter. On February 14th, Peter Frehley was in a hotel in Las Vegas, trying to get out of paying two prostitutes their money. Their pimp burst through the wall and tried to kill Peter, but he was saved by John Stone, who paid off his debts before hiring him for Operation: Knightstrike. Seven hours later, Peter and John met their teammates, Chapel, Albert Simmons, Dutch and Duke, and were briefed about the Afghanistan situation.[1]

The Knightstrike team deployed to the Afghan-Pakistani border and met their guide, an Afghan woman named Roxanne, and her son, Mujahadeem. When Knightstrike was stopped by Pakistani bandits, Battlestone killed one with a mortar, and the team wiped out the rest. Knightstrike continued on until they were attacked by a Soviet response force. Frehley used a rocket launcher to destroy a Soviet helicopter while Dutch took down another, and Battlestone crushed a Soviet tank with a boulder. Simmons blew up a transport truck, but one soldier survived and attacked him. Mujahadeem shot and killed the soldier, saving him. That night, Knightstrike reached the outskirts of Kabul, and Roxanne left with her son.[2]

Knightstrike hid in a cave prior to their assault. Chapel challenged Battlestone’s leadership, but Simmons talked him down. The team moved into Kabul and was soon attacked by Soviet troops. They returned fire but were soon cornered in a back alley. A squad of genetically enhanced Spetsnaz troops was deployed to attack Knightstrike. The team killed them all, so they dropped barrels of knockout gas, and the team was taken captive by Lt. Fruman. The members of Knightstrike awakened in restraints, facing Russian General Grozny, who revealed the captured U.S. pilot was Stone’s brother, Cabbot.[3] The rest of the details of this mission are unknown, but Operation: Knightstrike continued operating.
