Gears of War:
Chapter 1: The second Resonator.
"Ok soldiers, while we have a team of alpha and delta soldiers on their way to plant the resonator. Dominic Santiago has retrieved Marcus Fenix from prison, and have made their way towards the Imulsion mine, that we believe to be a locust tunnel. Your job is to plant another resonator in a mine located about 450 miles from here."
"450 miles?" one of the squad members said.
"Yes soldier, is that a problem? Because Kim's team is traveling a bit shorter, but the concentration of locust is greater. So, if I was you I'd be happy with what I got."
"Yes Colonel Hoffman, sorry sir."
"Now, you soldiers are fresh out of the academy correct? Other than the two senior members that will lead each squad. The alpha team will consist of Tyler Kanaro, James Kelly, Jon Trey, and the squad leader, Lieutenant Abel Salerno. The Delta Squad ill consist of Tommy Nave, Max Salerno, Simon Tiller, and Sergeant Samuel Johnson. Alpha Squad will carry the resonator. A helicopter will pick you up tomorrow. How far it can carry you, I don't know. Get some rest, you're going to need it. Meet in the courtyard at 01200 hours. You are dismissed."
As Hoffman exited the room, the soldiers walked off towards the mess hall.
"So brother," Abel said to Max, "you exited about your first mission?"
"Yeah, but I'm surprised they let a bunch of rookies take on an important mission like this one."
"Bah, I'm sure it'll be fine. Besides, a lot of people have died, and apparently COG will accept anyone. A soldier is a soldier, as long as they have the will to fight, and the power to survive, even in death, and when you are willing to die for the right reason. Brother, I know you have that. You're related to me, so of course it's in your blood."
"Yep, you got it."
"Ok, let's go get some food."
"Yeah, if we are gonna kick some ass, we'll need to be full. Of course, with all the guts flying everywhere, don't know if I want to have a full stomach." Tommy said as he got in line behind Max and Abel.
"Ah, shut up Tommy," Simon said as he came up behind him, " how are we supposed to enjoy our meal with these nasty images?"
"Hey man, I was just saying." Tommy said with a smirk.
"Um, did I miss something?" James said with a curious expression.
"Don't ask." Max said with a laugh.
After they got their food, they sat down next to their other allies.
"Hello Lieutenant Salerno." Samuel said with respect.
"Hey, we are retired for the evening, so just Abel ok?" He replied with a smile.
"Yes si-," he stopped as Abel looked at him, " Abel."
"So, is anyone as excited as I am?" Jon said.
"I might be, depending how excited you are." Tyler replied.
"Hey guys, we should eat and get to bed early tonight, we got a big day tomorrow." Abel said with a sigh.
After the 8 finished their meal, thy said their goodnights and headed off into their dorms.
"Hey bro?" Max looked at his brother.
"Yeah Maxy?"
"Do you think the resonator will actually work? I mean what if they screw up?"
"Then that just means we have to spend more time and ammo killing locusts. Although I have to admit, even if they look horrible, I wish their was a way to end this peacefully. They started this, and we have to die for it. I find it annoying. Anyway, go to sleep little bro. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Abe."
