Fan Casting Swordsmoke: Ghost

Marc, Bo, and Strider sneak into the rebel base—now a Mercenary stronghold. Inside, they find Grace, bruised and bloodied. They carry her out, but come under fire. Marc shields her—but one bullet hits her spine. She blacks out. They escape and return to the farmhouse. Sasha, Ellie, and Norman wait. Grace is in a coma. Bao is missing—maybe dead. Jack's still taken. Marc and Strider lock eyes. It’s time. They leave to find old friends—Ghost Squad. First stop: Bank City Prison. Inside, they locate Tommy Richards—Ghost’s explosive expert. He’s still sharp. They fight through guards, fireballs flying, and escape. Next: Ares City outskirts. A small camp. Diego Marks—Ghost’s weapons tech. His caretaker warns he’s not stable—haunted by hallucinations, PTSD. But Diego agrees to fight. For Ghost. Final stop: the USS Prescott. Link Prescott, Ghost’s vehicle expert, owns it now—retired, married, resistant. But his wife convinces him. He’s in. Meanwhile, back at the farmhouse—trouble. Bo, Ellie, Sasha, and Norman are ambushed. A masked man with metal arms breaks down the door. “I’m here for Marc,” he says. “He’s not here,” Bo replies. The man lunges. Norman tackles him back. Bo shoots him—it does nothing. “I’m the Agent,” he says. “And I’ll find Marc, even if I kill all but one.” Suddenly, his chest ices over. Behind him—Bao. He’s alive. Bao and the Agent brawl. The Agent retreats, but not before warning: “Mercenary is watching.”
