Okay so as I promised here is my new story. I played Gears of War a lot and was a very expierience player until my Xbox broke so I decided why not make a story about it. Anyways here it is. I hope you enjoy it and don't orget to review so that I know if I should keep writing it.
Two kids sat crouched down behind a wall waiting for the moment to strike. "When do we strike?" the boy asked.
A girl beside him slapped him. "Shut up or you will give us away." She said angrily. She wore a mask on her face.
"Alright don't get angry Z." the boy said as he loaded his gun.
Z pulled her mask off. She had bright blue eyes and a scar over the right eye. "Shut the hell up! Why do I have to be stuck training the rooks." Z mumbled to herself.
"Because you are the number one fighter at Gears Academy and have been for over a year now." the boy said.
"Glad to see that you at least know something rook." Z said. She aimed her gun and fired.
"My name is Tyler not rook." Tyler said as he stood up. A loud buzzer went off and the room lit up.
"Lets move rook. Show time." Z said. She dashed into the middle of the room and two other boys came in behind her. A large robot came out into the middle of the room.
"What is that thing?" Tyler asked.
"Target acquired. Lets take it down guys." Z said.
"Alpha squad formation now!" a large boy said. He put his back to the robot and the other boy put his back to his. He lifted Z and threw her at the robot. Z landed on the robot.
"Nice aim B." Z said. She then aimed her gun and fired. The robot went down in a split second.
"Good work Team Alpha. RTB." an announcer said over the PA.
"RTB?" Tyler questioned.
"It means to return to base or in our case the meeting room." B said as he took off his mask.
"Come on guys I want rid of this rook." Z said as she walked past them and out of the room.
"Is she always that mean?" Tyler asked.
"Not always. Sometimes she is meaner." the other guy said.
"Shut up J." B said as he shoved him.
"Team Alpha lets move it! There is no time to waste when you are at war so that means hurry the hell up!" Z shouted back at them.
"Wow she is mean." Tyler said.
"No she just hates rooks because of their inexpediency. I'm Jimmy by the way but J for short." Jimmy said as they walked down the hall.
"I'm Johnny but B for short." Johnny said.
"Where do you get the B from?" Tyler asked.
"My last name." Johnny said.
"Oh." Tyler said as they walked into a large room filled with chairs. Z was leaning back in a chair waiting.
"Took you all long enough to get here." Z said as she drank a cup of coffee.
"Sorry." Johnny said as he sat down next to Z.
A large man came into the room. "Well done team Alpha. I take that your training of Tyler went well also Alex?" the man asked.
"What ever your definition of well is then yes commander." Z said.
"Good because Tyler will be on your squad from now on." the commander said.
Z spit out her coffee. "What?! You have to be joking commander." Z said.
"There is no joking in war Alex." Commander said.
"But our team is full so he cant join." Z argued.
"He wont be joining now. He will first start out with a rook team and then after that will join your team." commander said. He then left.
Z glared at Tyler. "What?" Tyler asked confused.
"You will never join my team." Z said. She then left the room.
"Well that went well." Jimmy joked.
"I'm going to go and see if Z is okay with this." Johnny said. He then left.
"He likes her a lot in case you didn't know yet." Jimmy said.
*B / Johnny's point of view *
I caught up with Z in the hallway outside our dorm. I have known her since we were five and I have liked her since then but she doesn't really care about relationships. All she cares about is going to war with her family. "Hey Alex are you okay?" I asked.
"That fucking prick thinks he can just up and get into my team. He is dead wrong." Z said as she walked into our dorm. Teams at GA share dorm rooms.
"I am sure that it will be a long time before he joins the team." I said as I watched Z start to do push ups next to her bed. I know this is bad but sometimes I wish that I could do that particular motion with her. I know its perverted but I have known her my whole life and I really care about her.
"You okay Johnny?" Z asked. I hadn't noticed that I was staring into space.
"Uh yeah I'm fine. So are you going away for the holidays?" I asked.
"Why the hell would I go back to my mom for the holidays? I hate her." Z said. She joined the academy because of her whole family was in the war fighting the locust but her mom was the exception in her family.
"What are you going to do then for the holidays?" I asked as I took off my gear. I took the ammo out of my gun. They aren't real bullets because the Academy doesn't want us to get hurt.
"What I usually do. Stay in the shooting range and practice." Z said as she polished her gun. She is very proud of herself for being the number on fighter in GA. "I cant wait until my dad or uncle Marcus come and get me to become a actual gear." Z said as she put her gun back.
"Yeah but wont you miss being here?" I asked.
"Hell no! I want to go out there and kill as many locust as I can. Its bad enough that they sunk Jacinto so we were sent to this island were there is no locust what so ever. First thing I am going to do is chainsaw a locus in half." Z said. She gets way to into becoming a gear but it sort of turns me on seeing her like this.
"Hey you two love birds what you up to?" Jimmy asked as he came into the room.
"Two what?" Z asked. She didn't know I liked her yet. Z got up and shoved J back down.
"Serves you right for being a dumb ass Jimmy." I said. J glared at me and sat down on his bed. I know that he secretly likes Alex to. What isn't there to like about her. She is amazing with her deep blue eyes and her short spiky black hair.
"Yo B you keep staring into space." Z said as she waved her hand in front of me. "You cant be doing this when we are at..." I cut her off.
"When we are at war I know. That is your catch phrase." I said.
"Don't be a smart ass or I'll shoot you in the nuts again." Z said as she sat down on her bed. Man sometimes it sucks having her as a leader of the team.
*Z / Alex *
Man I wish uncle Marcus would get me to join his squad already. I want far away from this dumb ass academy. "Hey I'm going to go for a walk so I'll be back in a little bit." I said.
"Don't stay out too late with your boyfriend." Jimmy joked as I walked towards the door. I stopped and grabbed my gun.
"You want to say that again or are you going to shut up?" I asked.
Jimmy covered his nuts. "I'm good you can go." Jimmy said. I then left. I don't talk to anyone around here that much but they all still know me because I am the number one fighter. I have to be number one though. I have to live up to my family.
"Hey Z whats up?" Tyler asked me. I want to knock his teeth out for even talking to me.
"Is that any of your business rook? Go away." I said.
"My name is Tyler not rook. Also you don't have to be so mean to me. All I am trying to do is learn to be a good gear like you." Tyler said.
"Kiss ups don't work on me kid." I said as I walked past him.
"Man are you always so bitchy or is it just that time for you." Tyler said. Oh that's it!
I spun around and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up. "I think that it is time for you to learn some respect for your commanding officer rook." I said as I carried him down the hall towards the courtyard.
"Woah hey you cant do this to me." Tyler said as he began to squirm.
"I can and I am going to. Now shut the hell up." I said as I kicked my door open. "J hand me my gun." I said.
"Z what the hell are you doing?" Johnny asked.
"Teaching this rook a lesson in respecting your commanders." I said as I dragged him down the hall. I dragged him into the courtyard and pushed him to the ground.
"Wait you cant shoot me." Tyler said.
I aimed my gun. "I can and I will." I said.
"Okay I will listen to you from now on just don't shoot me." Tyler lead. I shot him still. "Oww!" Tyler yelled as he grabbed his crotch. I love knowing the males weak spot.
I grabbed him by the arm and lifted him up. "Now if you want to have children one day I suggest that you listen to me and don't be a dumb ass." I said. I then went back to my dorm.
"Did you punish him?" Jimmy asked as I walked into the room.
"Does a gear lancer gun have a chain saw attachment?" I said back. The answer is yes.
"Man he must hate having to be trained by you." Johnny said.
"I'm not training him. You will." I said as I laid down on my bed.
"What? Commander told you to." Johnny said.
"Yeah well I tell you to and I am the leader of the squad." I said.
"Ha you get stuck with the rook." Jimmy said.
"Okay boys lets go to sleep." I said as I threw a ball at the light switch. The lights went out then and I tried to go to sleep.
*J / Jimmy *
"Ha you cant get out of training that punk now." I said. I reached under my bed and pulled out a magazine and my pair of night vision goggles. Man I love having these things.
"Man are you looking at your playboy again?" B asked me.
"Maybe I am maybe I'm not." I said.
"Your a pervert J." B said. I picked up the ball Z threw and threw it at B. "What the hell was that?" Johnny asked.
"Shut up and go to sleep you morons." Z said.
I looked over at Z and noticed that she was messing with the scar that she had over her eye. She never tells anyone how she got it. Including me. The only one who knows how she got it is Johnny and that is because they have been friends there whole lives. "Hey Z?" I questioned.
"What you want?" Z asked as she sat up.
"How did you get that scar? You never told me." I said. I think Z knew that I had my goggles on then. She walked over to me and took my goggles.
"Go to bed J." Z said.
"Damn it." I said as I put my playboy back under my bed.
"You know better than to ask personal questions so you brought that on yourself." B said. I rolled over and went to sleep.
*Z / Alex *
I think that it is a dream. I am out with my uncle Marcus and his partner Dom. We were taking down a horde of locus when a large lambent came in and exploded. I woke up with a start and the goggles I had taken from J that were on my bed fell off my bed and rolled. "Huh? Whats going on?" J asked as he sat up.
"Nothing. The goggles I confiscated from you fell off my bed and woke you." I said as I got out of my bed. I grabbed my gear.
"God Z are you going to train already?" B asked me.
"Yeah I need to clear my mind." I said. "Also everyone else is leaving to see their families today so the shooting range will be clear today." I said as I walked out of the room. I have dreams about being a gear often and when I do I usually wake up with a start.
"Good morning Alex. Are you going home to see your mother today?" Commander asked me.
"No sir. I only care about getting into the war with my father and uncle." I said.
"That is good to hear. I will see you later." Commander said. He then left. I talk to him a lot because of being number one here. We have a close relationship so when something is wrong I often go to him.
"Hey Z can you train me a little today?" Tyler asked. I gotta admit this kid has guts to talk to me after last night.
"No now get lost rook." I said as I walked past him into the meeting room to get a cup of coffee. Pictures line the wall in there. My team is in some of them because of being number one. We have been for over a year now. I just cant wait until Marcus comes and gets me.
"Come on Alex I want to learn from the best." Tyler said.
"First do not call me Alex. That is reserved for B and the commander." I said. I got my nickname Z from never missing a target so the Z stands for Zero.
"Okay then will you train me Z?" Tyler asked again.
"No I told B to train you so go ask him. Unless they are leaving today too." I said as I walked out of the room.
"Alex I'm glad I found you. Since you are staying today I want you to train Tyler here." Commander said. Dammit!
"Oh come on commander I tried that yesterday and it didn't work." I argued.
"Just train him so he knows more about how to be a good student." Commander said. He then left. Sometimes I really hate him.
"Come on rook." I said as I walked down the hall towards the shooting range.
We got into the shooting range and I walked over to a target. "What are we just going to do target practice today?" Tyler asked.
"Yes now shut up and get ready." I said as I loaded my gun. I aimed and fired. I have never missed the bulls-eye. That is the advantage of having a military family I guess.
I watched Tyler take aim at a target. He fired and missed the bulls-eye by a while. "Dammit." He said.
"You couldn't be more wrong. Here." I said as I took his hands to correct him. "You have to keep your elbows tucked in and you have to keep your eye on the target." I said as I let go of him.
"Th...thanks." Tyler said. Why is he stuttering? He took aim and fired. Not the bulls-eye but much better.
"You see now all you need is practice." I said. I put on my mask and aimed at the target again.
"Why do you wear that mask when in here?" Tyler asked me.
"Is that any of your business?" I asked back.
"Sorry I just wanted to know." Tyler said. Uh why do I have to train the idiots.
"Hey Z see you tonight." someone said who was behind me. I turned around to see it was J.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Family for the holiday." J said. He then left.
"Hey I have to go too. See you later." Tyler said. He then left too. Good I have the shooting range to myself now.
"Alex Fenix please report to the commanders office immediately." the PA said. God dammit! What does he want now?
"Z what did you do now?" B asked as I walked past him.
"How am I supposed to know what I did. I haven't done anything. Unless this is my uncle finally coming to get me." I said.
"That or you are getting in trouble for shooting Tyler last night." B said.
"Ha ha I have not gotten in trouble with that yet so just shut up." I said as I stopped outside the commanders office. I knocked on the door.
"Come in Alex." Commander said. I walked in.
"You wanted to see me commander?" I asked as I sat down.
"Yes I have something important to tell you." Commander said.
"Is my uncle finally coming to get me to become a real gear?" I asked.
"No. Alex your mother was captured last night by a horde of locust." Commander said. You know nothing usually gets to me but this does.
"What? She was captured?" I questioned.
"Yes and they took her to a labor camp." Commander said. I stood up.
"With all due respect sir I am going to go now." I said.
"Alex your father was also captured and sent to a labor camp." Commander said.
"M..my dad was captured?" I asked. I am very close with my dad. He taught me everything I know.
"I'm sorry Alex." Commander said.
"Call my uncle Marcus." I said.
"What for?" Commander asked.
"I am going to go and get my parents back." I said.
"Alex that is absurd. You are still in training." Commander said.
"I am the number one student and have been for over a year now. I want to go out and become a real gear." I said.
"That isn't the way things work Alex." Commander said. I then left the room.
"I don't care I am still going." I said to myself.
*B / Johnny *
I wonder what Z did this time to get called down to the commanders office. "Hey Z what did you do that he called you down?" I asked as Z came into the room.
"My parents were captured my a horde of locust and sent to a labor camp." Z said as she went through her stuff.
"Then what are you doing right now?" I asked as I watched her put together her stuff.
"Disobeying the commander and going after them. I don't care if they call me a rogue gear but I am going after them one way or another." Z said.
"What? You are kidding Z. You cant leave GA and run off to save your parents." I said.
"I have to do this Johnny. My dad taught me everything I know. Now I get to put it to..." I cut her off when I grabbed her.
"Alex come on you cant go out there. You'll be killed." I said.
"So comes the price of being at war." Alex said. "Now let go of your commanding officer."She said.
"Then I am going with you." I said.
"What? You aren't as good at me. You cant come." Alex said as she put her gear on.
"I am going with you. I want to protect you. Also team Alpha stays together." I said.
"Yeah well Alexandria Fenix works alone on this mission." Z said. She thinks too highly of herself.
I grabbed her and restrained her so I could talk to her. "Z I don't want you to get captured too with your parents and I am sure that they don't want you to either." I said. Z kicked me hard in the crotch and I fell to the floor.
"Never try and restrain your commanding officer." Z said.
I groaned as I tried to get up. "Alex...you cant...go out there." I struggled to say.
"I can and I will. The commander cant stop me and neither can you." Z said. I have to tell her now how I feel before she makes a huge mistake.
"Z wait." I said as she walked towards the door.
"What?" She asked.
"Z I am going to go with you if you are going to do this." I said. I hesitated to say the rest.
"Is that all you have to say?" Z asked. I think she knew that I was going to say more.
"No Alex I really care about you and I don't want to watch you send yourself on a suicide mission." I said.
"It wont be a suicide mission because I will destroy everything in site." Z said.
"You don't even have a real gear gun lancer." I said.
"I will get one after I leave." Z said.
"Z come on don't leave." I said.
"Why are you trying to keep me from going so bad? There has to be another reason." Z said
"Z I am not going to let you leave." I said as I grabbed her by the arm.
"I thought that I told you not to restrain your commanding officer." Z said. I then heard a loud crash from outside. "What the hell?" Z said as she got out of my grip. We ran outside.
"All students report to the meeting room immediately." The PA said.
"Looks like it is time for me to go. See you later Johnny." Z said. I grabbed her again and dragged her down the hall to the meeting room.
"What is going on Commander?" I asked.
"The school is under attack by the locust." Commander said as he handed me and Z a Gear Lancer.
"Now this is what I am talking about." Z said as she revved the chainsaw on her lancer.
"So you are sending us out there to fight them?" I asked.
"Yes I am now go. Jimmy will be waiting for you by the door. I held him from leaving." Commander said.
I turned around and noticed that Z was gone already. I ran out of the room to get her and Jimmy stopped me. "Yo whats the rush. I get first crack at the locus." J said.
"Not if Z gets there first." I said as we ran down the hall. We got outside and I saw Z loading her gun. "Z what the hell were you doing?" I asked.
"Getting ready to slice some Locus and then get the fuck out of here." Z said.
I saw a explosion and heard yelling. "Hold them back while I get my niece Dom." a man said.
"Uncle Marcus?" Z said surprised. Her uncle really is coming to get her.
"Come on Alex we gotta get you out of here. Your parents were already taken and now a horde is on the way here." Marcus said.
*Z / Alex *
I knew he would come to get me! "I am going to first destroy this horde of Locus Marcus. I want to get back at them for this scar and for taking my parents." I said. When I was younger I was attacked my group of wretches. That is how I got the scar over my eye.
"Alex there is a Brumak coming. I don't think that you can take that down." Marcus said.
"Watch me." I said. I saw a few wretches come in to view. "Alpha squad attack!" I ordered. I then charged towards the locus.
"Alex!" B called after me. I heard them running behind me. I dodged a wretch and sliced it in half.
"Now that is what I am talking about." I said. I could hear the Brumak roaring in the distance.
"Alex get back here or that Brumak will crush you!" Marcus yelled at me.
"I am going to destroy everything in site!" I yelled back as I sliced more wretches up with my chainsaw.
"Z I promised to protect you so I will." B said as he ran up beside me. J ran up to us.
"And I am not going to let you two have all the fun." J said.
I shot at a grenadier who was running towards us. "I'll handle the chainsawing you two can shoot." I said.
"You got it commander." Jimmy said.
"Hey what about your uncle Marcus?" Marcus asked as he ran over to us.
"Hey you aren't on my squad so you can do what ever you want." I said as I smiled at him. I never smile so that is really rare for me.
I saw the Brumak come towards us. "Marcus I cant hold them off any longer we gotta go!" Dom said as he ran over t us.
"Not yet. I want a souvenir first." I said as I ran towards the Brumak. "Alpha squad formation!" I called back to my team.
"You got it. One launching coming right up." J said as he ran over to me. He lifted me up. "Wait for it." He said.
"Woah I am not letting you do this." Marcus said as he ran over to us.
"Target acquired. Prepare to kick some Brumak ass." J said.
"Hold on take this then." Dom said as he handed me a grenade launcher.
J threw me at the Brumak and I landed on top of it. I quickly took out the controller and then took control of the Brumak myself. "Hey now I have an easier way to take down Locus." I called down to them as I aimed turret at the advancing locus.
"Be careful." B called up to me. He worries about me to much.
I fired the turret and killed most of the locus and left the rest for my teammates. "Go on you guys need some practice." I said as I began to shoot away at the Brumak's armor.
"Hey!" B shouted up at me.
"Its true now go." I said as I pulled away armor. I planted a grenade on its skin. "Heads up!" I yelled as I jumped off the Brumak. I tucked and rolled when I hit the ground. The Brumak exploded a second later covering us with its guts. I laughed.
"Ugh how is this funny?" B asked.
"Because I got my souvenir." I said as I showed him a piece of the armor I took.
"Yeah this reminds me of when we killed that giant rockworm." Marcus said as he wiped blood off of him.
*B / Johnny *
This is soo not cool! I am covered in blood and guts now because of Z. At least we killed all the locus though. "Maybe we should go back to the school." J said.
I stood up only to fall right back down on top of Z. "Woah. Sorry." I said as I stared her in the eyes. I was about to get up when she kissed me lightly on the cheek. I could feel my whole face getting warm and I jumped up quickly. Its a good thing the blood is hiding my blushing.
"Okay we should report back to the Commander." Z said as she walked away from me.
"Yeah because tomorrow you are leaving with Dom and I." Marcus said. What? She is leaving right after she kissed me. Or was she just messing with me when she kissed me?
"You are taking me with you?" Z asked.
"Yeah you get to join our squad." Dom said. I feel like my heart is going to stop.
Z looked at me and Jimmy. "I'm sorry uncle Marcus but I am not going unless my squad gets to come with me." Z said. Yes!
"You will need to talk to the commander on that then." Marcus said as we walked back to the school. I picked up a piece of armor as a souvenir. I ran up to Z.
"You did a good job on the Brumak except you covered us all in blood." I said.
"I know and I really don't care because all the locus that I come across are going to suffer the same fate." Z said as we walked into the school. The commander came over to us.
"I take it that the locus threat is gone." Commander said.
"Affirmative." Z said.
"Well done. You should go and pack so that you are ready to go tomorrow when your uncle Marcus leaves." Commander said.
"About that. I want my squad to come with me." Z said.
"I am afraid I cant do that Alex. They are not ready yet and their parents need to be told first." Commander said.
"We are ready and who cares about our parents knowing." I said.
"I'm sorry Johnathan but your parents need to be notified first." Commander said.
"Then notify them because they are coming with us." Marcus said.
"My parents are already in the war so you cant notify them so I go either way." Jimmy said.
"And my parents are dead. The only family I have is my aunt and she doesn't care about me." I said.
"See commander you cant break us up." Z said.
"Alright then you can all go." Commander gave in. Yes I get to stay with Z. Commander left then.
"You should go and pack. Dom and I have to talk to the commander." Marcus said.
*Z / Alex *
Man messing with B is too much fun. They think I don't know that he likes me. It is way to obvious how much he does. Now he is avoiding eye contact with me because I gave him a peck on the cheek earlier. "Jimmy what is that?" I asked as I watched him sneak a magazine into his bag.
"Nothing." J said quickly. I walked over to him.
"Are you going to show me or am I going to have to make you?" I asked as I put out my hand.
He gave in and handed me the magazine. "There. Happy?" He asked.
I threw it in the trash. "Perv." I said as I went back to packing. I heard him mumble something. I finished packing and went to see Marcus.
"Hey Z way to go on taking down that Brumak." Tyler said as he passed me.
"How did you know about that?" I asked.
"Commander." He said. I kept walking. I went to the commanders office and heard him arguing so I pressed my ear to the door to listen.
"I am not sure about letting you take the other two though. They aren't as experienced as Alex is." Commander said.
"They have no family so who would care. Also they are on the number one team here so I'm sure that they are good enough to fight actual locus." Marcus said.
"I'm not sure Marcus. How about we do a practice run first and then we will decide." Commander said.
"Alright. We should do it soon so that Alex and her team can rest tonight." Marcus said.
I backed away from the door and sat down on a bench. "Oh I'll make sure my team is in top conditions." I said to myself. Commander and Marcus came out of the office.
"Oh hello Alex. We are going to do a practice run with you and your team to make sure that you are ready before we send you out." Commander said.
"I'll go and get my team then commander." I said. I then went to get Johnny and Jimmy. "Hey guys get your gear." I said as I walked into our dorm.
"Why? Whats going on?" Johnny asked.
"Practice and you guys better put up a hundred and ten percent if you want to come with me and my uncle." I said as I grabbed my gun.
I went directly to the arena and got ready. Jimmy and Johnny came a few minutes after me. "Okay team Alpha are you ready?" the announcer asked.
"Affirmative." I said.
"Then let the practice begin." The announcer said. All the doors opened up and robots came in fast surrounding us. I pulled my mask down.
"Here we go boys. Do your best." I said. I revved my lancer. Commander didn't say we couldn't use our real guns.
"Lets demolish these robots!" J yelled. He charged into the robots and I did the same. B stayed behind us.
"B what are you doing? You are supposed to be fighting!" I yelled back to him as I sliced through a robot.
He appeared to be in a trance. "Whats he doing?" J asked.
"I don't know but I know how to get him to pay attention." I said. I walked over to him and kneed him hard in the nuts. He fell to the ground. "There we go now fight!" I ordered as I shot a robot that was coming towards us.
"Ohh you didn't have to knee me in my nuts." B said as he got up.
"Yes I did now fight or you might not get to come with me and Marcus." I said as I sliced a robot.
We fought for a few minutes until all the robots were gone. Then the giant robot came out. "Are we going to pull the Alpha formation?" J asked.
"No we have to do this as a team this time." I said. I aimed my gun at the robots head. "Take aim, fire!" I ordered. We all shot at the robots head and it went down right away.
"Woohoo! That's what I'm talking about!" J shouted.
I turned back to Johnny and he was in a trance again. "Johnny snap out of it. There is no time for day dreaming when we are at war." I said.
"I...I need some time alone." Johnny said as he dropped his gun. He then left.
"Whats his problem?" J asked.
"I don't know but I'll go and fine out." I said. I left to find him.
*B / Johnny *
Man I'm really spacing out badly now. I am sort of confused right now because I like Alex a lot but I don't want to watch her get hurt by the locus. I am actually considering staying here at GA. "Hey B whats going on with you? Why did you keep spacing outback there?" Z asked as she ran up to me. She still had her mask on.
"I'm considering staying here." I said. Z pulled her mask off.
"What? Johnny we are a team. We have to stick together." Alex said.
"Yeah well I..." I stopped.
"What?" Alex asked.
"Nothing. Just forget it." I said.
"If it is about you liking me I already know and don't worry about me. I will be okay because I got my squad to back me up." Alex said. She knew already that I like her?
"You...you knew?" I asked.
"Johnny it isn't that hard to tell that you like me." Alex said. Commander came over to us.
"Good job you two. I have made my decision and you will be going with your uncle Marcus tomorrow Alex and your team will go with you." Commander said.
"Thank you commander." Alex said.
"You leave first thing in the morning." Commander said. He then left us alone.
"So where are we going to go and fight at?" I asked.
Alex shrugged. "Dunno. Where ever we are sent most likely. I wish that Jacinto was still standing though." Alex said.
"Hey you two. Did commander already talk to you?" Jimmy asked us.
"Yeah. We leave first thing tomorrow." I said.
"Well done you three. That was pretty good for being students here." Marcus said as he came over to us.
"Yeah I have never seen a GA student squad act so swiftly." Dom said.
"Marcus where are we going to be at when we leave tomorrow?" Alex asked.
"In the hollows looking for your parents." Marcus said. "Also wiping out as many locus as we can." He said.
"Good. I am going to slaughter any locus I can get near." Alex said.
"That is good to hear." Marcus said. "You three should spend the rest of your day relaxing. Tomorrow is going to be a hard day." Marcus said. He then left and Dom followed him.
"I'm going to go and hang out in the shooting range for a while." J said. He then left.
"I'm going to go back to the room." Z said. She then left and I was alone.
*J / Jimmy *
I cant believe I finally get to leave this school! I cant wait till tomorrow. I am going to smash some Locus heads! "Hey Jimmy. Doing some target practice?" Angela asked. She and I talk often when I come for target practice.
"Yeah I have to get some in before I leave tomorrow." I said as I aimed at the target.
"You're leaving?" Angela asked.
"Yeah me and my team are going to fight the locus and get Z's parents back." I said. I fired and hit the bulls eye.
"We are all going to miss you guys. You were after all the number one team here." Angela said.
"Yeah. Now the number one team is going to be your team. Lucky you." I said.
"Yeah team Gamma finally got to the top." Angela said as she fired at a target.
"I cant wait to smash some locus heads though." I said.
"Yeah I think that everyone here wants to do that." Angela said. She put her gun down and came over to me. "I'm going to miss talking to you when we practice here." She said.
"Me too." I said. I gently pressed my lips to hers. We dated on and off while I have been here so it is only fair I get one last good bye kiss.
*Z / Alex *
Finally I get to leave this school. I'm going to miss it a little bit I guess. But I am going to destroy everything that comes in my way of saving my parents. I sat in my room on my bed for a while cleaning and polishing my lancer until Johnny came in. "Hey Z can we talk?" Johnny asked as he sat down at the end of my bed.
"Sure whats up?" I asked as I set my lancer down.
"Z you know already that I like you so I wanted to ask..." I cut him off.
"If I liked you?" I questioned.
"Do you?" He asked.
"B you cant have any emotions getting in your way when you are at war." I said.
"Oh okay. But that doesn't answer my question if you like me or not." Johnny said.
"Yes it does if you pay attention." I said. The lights went out then. "What the hell?" I wondered. There aren't any windows in the room so when the lights are off it is pitch black in here.
"I think we lost power." Johnny said. I could feel him trying to make his way up to me. I was leaning up against the wall now.
"Johnny what are you doing?" I asked. I could feel his presence right beside me.
"Alex if you don't like me then why did you kiss me earlier?" Johnny asked.
"Because I knew that you liked me and since you fell on me I decided to reward you for your good work." I said.
"Oh." Johnny said. I reached over and grabbed Jimmy's night vision goggles that I confiscated and put them on. I noticed that Johnny had tears rolling down his face. "Uh I think I am going to go and see what happened to the lights." Johnny said as he wipes away his tears. He stood up but I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back down.
"You see B this is why you cant let your emotions get in your way when at war." I said. Now I feel bad for hurting him because we are best friends and have been since we were really young.
"Can I go now?" Johnny asked.
"Sure go." I said as I let go of him. I took off the goggles and put them on the floor. I then laid down.
"Hey Alex?" Johnny asked.
"Hmm?" I asked.
"Commander I wont let my emotions get in the way of our mission." Johnny said. I laughed at this.
"I'm not the leader anymore. That would be Marcus who is the leader of the squad." I said. I could feel Johnny lay down next to me.
"Now that is going to be weird. You have been the leader for so long so it will take some getting used to." Johnny said.
"Yeah." I said. I am going to miss being leader. I could feel Johnny move and a second later I felt him press his lips to mine. I was in shock for a moment but I came to. I decided to let him have a kiss since we are going to be leaving tomorrow. I parted my lips for him and we began to make out.
The lights came back on and I noticed that Johnny had a hard-on. I have only dated once before just to clear things up so this is a first for me. "I thought that you didn't like me." Johnny said as he smiled at me.
"Now I didn't say that. I said that you cant let your emotions get in the way when ay war." I said. I kissed Johnny lightly on the lips.
The door to our room opened. "Well now look what we have here. Our leader is making out with a lowly student." Jimmy said with a grin. I threw his goggles at him.
"Get lost J." I said.
"Don't do anything you'll regret." Jimmy said with a cocky smile. He then left.
"Okay be right back." I said as I grabbed my academy gun so I could shoot Jimmy. I then left to find him.
*B / Johnny *
Best moment of my life. Z actually does like me and we made out. I am soo happy now. I think she noticed that I had a hard-on though. Z came back with her academy gun. "Now I am out of ammo." She said as she put her gun down.
"Jeez you shot him that many times with it?" I asked.
"No I didn't have that much to begin with so I just finished it off. He is going to have a lot of welts tomorrow though." Z said as she laid back down next to me.
"So are we dating now or something?" I asked.
"No I told you that you cant let your emotions get in the way when we are fighting a war." Alex said.
"I wont let them but when we aren't fighting are we dating?" I asked.
"Sure." Alex said. Yes! I kissed her hard on the lips. Someone knocked at our door. Dammit right when things were getting good.
"Come in." Alex said as she stood up.
"Hello Alex are you all packed?" Marcus asked.
"Yeah. I'm already to go." Alex said.
"What about your team?" Marcus asked.
"I'm ready and I think that Jimmy is too." I said.
"Good because we leave first thing tomorrow. I just wanted to check and make sure that you were all packed." Marcus said. He then left. Alex came back over to me and sat down on my legs.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Keeping you from getting up." Alex said as she leaned towards me. I kissed her lightly on the lips. She got off of my legs and laid down next to me.
I watched her as she played with my jacket zipper. "Hey Z?" I asked.
"Hmm?" She asked.
"Even when we leave here can we still do stuff like this at night when we are resting up?" I asked.
"I don't know because I doubt that we will have time to rest when we are down in the hollows." Alex said.
"Well what about if we do?" I asked.
"Sure if we have time to then okay." Alex said as she rested her head on my chest. My heart beat began to race as she moved her hand closer to my lap.
"Hey Z lets not go over board." I said as she moved her hand even closer to my lap.
Alex got up and sat down on my lap. Man she is doing this on purpose just to drive me crazy with lust for her. "Okay then. I'm going to go for a swim then if you don't want to do anything else today." Alex said as she got off my lap. I could see in her eyes that she had a lust for me and that just made me want her more.
"Z I don't want to ruin our relationship by taking things to far right when we get together." I said as I got up off her bed.
"We are going to war though tomorrow so this might be your only chance." Z said as she put her lancer in her bag. She has a point but I am afraid of ruining our friendship.
I sat laid down on my bed. "I don't want to ruin our relationship Alex." I said as I put my arm over my eyes.
"Alright then I'll see you in a little bit." Alex said. I heard the door open and closed then. I took my arm away from my eyes to be surprised by Z.
"I thought that you left." I said as I sat up.
"You need to remember who I am. I am sneaky so that is the sort of thing I would do." Alex said. She sat down next to me and put her hand on my lap. She looked me right in the eyes. Okay that's it I have to have her.
I kissed her deeply and let her mess around with my zipper on my pants. I felt her slip her hand into my pants but I didn't care. I heard a knock at the door and quickly pulled away. She did the same. "Shit who is it?" Alex asked as she jumped up off my bed.
"Its Angela. I was looking for Jimmy." Angela said as she came in.
"He left a little while ago." I said.
"Oh okay I'll go look for him then." Angela said. She then left.
"Okay maybe we shouldn't do this here." Alex said as she sat back down.
"Yeah. I'm going to go and train a little for tomorrow. See you later." I said as I grabbed my gun.
Well now a lot of thins happened in this chapter. Mainly because it was so long though. Alex's uncle Marcus came to get her to go with him to war like she hoped. Alex got to take down a Brumak. Johnny finally told Alex that he liked her so they are going out now. At least when they aren't busy fighting locus. I'm going to wap this up. Anyways more chapters coming as soon as possible but only if you remember to review.
