The Shadow Snakes

The Shadow Snakes are an army created in 1985, and is seen as a well created Company, but it is unclear if it used for either Good, or Evil. But their one goal is clear. Protect the Planet, in any way they can! They have been fighting to help the ally forces in any Civil wars, and are the oldest army of the 5 armies, and has some high-tech weapons, including their greatest weapons, The Avatar and Redeemer Warmechs!

Leader: Karma-Ru "Kumu" Mason
The Shadow Snakes is led by one woman, named Karma-Ru Mason. Also known by her nickname "Kumu".

Kumu serves as the absolute leader and highest ranking member of the Shadow Snakes, and anything she says is final.

She is also an Immortal Woman, who could not be killed in any way, shape or form. However, she is still able to be hurt in battle.

Kumu sees faith was shown by deeds and not words. This was smart, because throughout the times she disappeared, most of the Shadow Snake Members stray from the path... But one member remained by her side no matter what happened. That member, is her most loyal Soldier (now Husband), Ajay.

The Second in Command: Ajay "The Legendary Insurgent"
Ajay is Kumu's (Now Husband) most loyal and bravest soldier in the Shadow Snakes. His actions led him to becoming the Shadow Snakes' second in command.

When Kumu goes missing, and is believed to be killed, Ajay steps up as the Shadow Snakes' Leader until her return.

Ajay has never lost a battle in the Shadow Snakes' history. He also shows NO mercy to anyone who betrays the Shadow Snakes, and often kills traitors personally.

The Inner Circle
Even with Kumu and Ajay being the leaders of the Shadow Snakes. Kumu has a few members that serves as Generals in the Shadow Snakes.

These men and Women are loyal to Kumu, until her disappearances. Some of the Inner Circle are not Loyal to Ajay, but some are very loyal to him. And whoever isn't, is killed on Ajay's order.

Those who remain Loyal to Ajay and Kumu still are in the Inner Circle to this day.

It's Creation (1985)
In the year 1985; Karma-Ru Mason, also known as Kumu, decided to create an army of people who were sick of being harmed, scared, or living in fear.

This army was called the Shadow Snake, as named due to their leader, Kumu, being a dark shadow of herself, and is very sneaky and hard to kill like a Snake.

The Shadow Snakes has just one goal. One true mission. Protect the Earth, no matter how cruel the way they do it is!

The Shadow Snakes and the C.I.A. vs The Russian Spetsnaz (1985-1991)
The Shadow Snakes' first war was just a few months after being created. An C.I.A. agent, named Jason Hudson, requested their help. As Jason knew Kumu's uncle, Alex Mason, she was quick to help, and the Shadow Snakes joined forced with the C.I.A. in the battle against the Russian Spetsnaz.

The Shadow Snakes were only a Freedom fighting Militia, as such, they did not have any tanks or Aircraft. But that was okay, because the 1st Cavalry Division let them use their tanks and aircrafts.

Taking down a Warhead: Kumu, Alex Mason, Jason Hudson and Frank Woods worked together to save a soldier named Grigori Weaver, and taking out a warhead before it fired. They were able to destroy the warhead, and prevent it from hitting where ever it was aiming for.

Defending a Hill: Kumu and Alex joined a Joint Operation led by Frank Woods and was sent to Vietnam for the purpose of searching for covert Soviet operations in Vietnam and Laos. After landing at Khe Sanh to meet up with Frank and the rest of Alex's old unit, the hill of Khe Sanh came under attack by the NVA forces. Kumu, Alex, Frank and Jason repelled the beginning of the attack before the SOG unit left for it's mission. While the Shadow Snakes protect the hill.

Finding Alex and Friedrich Steiner: Kumu, Jason and Weaver move through the Russian compound in two BTRs, accompanied by a platoon of US and Shadow Snake soldiers. They fought their way through until Jason's BTR is destroyed by an Mi-8 helicopter which unleashed the Nova 6, forcing Hudson and the soldiers to put on gas masks. Then After fighting his way to a clean air environment, Jason attempts to contact Alex, but Alex fails to respond. At the same time Weaver is contacted by Friedrich Steiner, who tells him that all non-essential personnel are being executed by Dragovich's soldiers and that he might be killed too.

When Kumu, Jason and Weaver get to the room where Steiner is located, all of them see Alex beating Steiner up and yelling that he is Viktor Reznov and that he will have his revenge. Jason and Weaver, still in their Hazmat suits, try to breakthrough the glass by shooting it, only to find it is bulletproof. They then smash it with a crate but are too late. Alex had already executed Steiner and shoots Weaver, but Kumu is able to knock him out cold. Weaver questions the whereabouts of Viktor Reznov, but Jason states he was never there, and Alex was under a brain washing.

After a few hours, they managed to break Alex's brain washing, and he explains that the station they were looking for, is called the Rusalka was stationed in Cuba. They needed to act, and FAST!

Ending the war: With only hours away from the scheduled Nova 6 gas release in US cities, and the potential ignition of World War III and Mutual Assured Destruction from a nuclear first strike by the USA against the USSR, Jason leads forces on a heli-borne assault on the Rusalka to stop the broadcast.

Alex and Kumu pilot a Huey gunship to destroy the AA defenses on the ship. Once all the air defenses were neutralized, Weaver's team is inserted from the heli-pad. As the team attempts to make their way into the ship via entrance at the Rusalka's bow section, Alex, Jason and Kumu provide fire support for the team as they advance through the port side deck.

Then Alex is forced to destroy an Mi-24A, but the fight cripples the Huey, forcing them to make a crash landing at the heli-pad, nearly making Alex go flying off the side, but luckily, He was saved by Jason. The three of them then advance through the starboard deck, dealing with a mass amount of foot soldiers. Once they fight their way to the lower deck, they find the Rusalka is just the surface section, and that the real Numbers Station is underwater.

Kumu chose to stay back with the soldiers to take down the remaining soldiers in the ship. Alex nods his head understanding her. As he dives into the water, she asks Weaver to leave the Rusalka and calling in the Navy to sink it, while she finishes off the remaining soldiers on the ship. Weaver agreed and leaves the ship, while Kumu finishes off the remaining enemy soldiers, then he when back to Weaver's boat. A few minutes later, Alex and Jason came back out of the water, with Dragovich finally dead. The war was over.
