They were able to destroy the warhead, but Alex when off to find and kill a target for some unknown reasons. Kumu and Frank when with him, and Kumu was super worried about him.

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.

Bringing Alex back to his senses (1991): Kumu, Jason and Weaver try to bring Alex back to his senses, and try to get him to break free from his brainwashing. They tried for almost 5 hours, playing the numbers that runs through his head, but they couldn't do it. Weaver sees that they were running out of time, and needed to retreat. However, Jason and Kumu however, did NOT give up on Alex, and they tried one more time. Jason starts to free Alex, only to be punched in the face by Alex, and Alex tries to escape. But Kumu quickly caught up to him, and tried to snap him out of his brain-washing. After Kumu tackle hugged Alex, it finally snapped Alex out of his brainwashing.

Jason explained to Kumu and Alex what exactly happen to him. Alex was brainwashed by M.K. Ultra to kill the U.S. President, but Viktor Reznov managed to switch it to killing three men; Friedrich Steiner, Nikita Dragovich, and Lev Kravchenko. Alex trusted Viktor, and that is why the brainwashing worked on him, but thanks to Kumu, the brainwashing broke. Jason knew this was their last chance and he begged Alex to listen once more to the numbers.

Alex watches the monitors and sees what he couldn't before, he realizes that the numbers are being broadcast from the Russian ship, the Rusalka. Alex remembers that the Rusalka was stationed in Cuba, evidently the "new relationship" that Castro and Dragovich honored. Jason and Alex then prepare to strike the ship.

Ending the War (1991): 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.

So, Kumu makes the decision to avoid full on wars for a while, but still helps the G.R.F. and R.C.F. whenever they need it.

Throughout the 10 years of being quite, she visits Frank Woods, who retired due to injuries in his knee caps, and her Cousin, David, who was now 14 years old and dreamed to become part of the Navy.

The soldiers and Kumu thought of a plan to escape the prison and get help from their armies. The G.R.F. themselves being in a war with the Federation. The plan was dangerous, as they needed to cause a Tiberium explosion, and for them to get the hell out of the blast range. But in the end, the plan worked, and most of the soldiers made it out alive.
