Operations Executed (Chronological Order)

Death
The second operation that Nitro took on was when Alan Abernathy rescued Archer from trash disposal unit. This operation was his last mission as well. Nick leaped out and cut Alan’s hand. He then said to Alan, "Surrender, Gorgonite ally. You’ve just met your match." Unfortunately for Nitro, Alan then shoved him into the trash disposal unit. This tore up Nitro’s legs beyond repair in which from there he crawled to the house of Christy Fimple where the other commandos were hiding. He is discovered by Chip Hazard shortly after, fatally shredded. When he reached his fellow commandos, he didn't have much time left. His last words to Major Chip Hazard were "Did... we... win? UUH!" Major Chip Hazard held a moment of silence for his fallen comrade.
