I sighed in annoyance, sitting in the spaceship with all the other recruits. Or should I say the other recruit? Yup, that's right. They sent only one Blue and one Red out. I, unfortunately, am Alissa Walker. I joined the army because I was bored, to be honest. Yes, bored of normal life. Don't think of a weirdo now. I walked into the recruiting office, they asked me which team I wanted to be on, and I told them to kiss my ass, I could care less.
They almost asked if I would be a medic, a useless medic. They still have spleens of course, a shame, but they do. It was going to be another three days before we landed. I'm Blue, and the boy is Red.
"I heard the Blue team is fun." the guy spoke into the silence. I shrugged, taking the ammo out of my sniper rifle and cleaning it.
"Yeah? Good, I'd hate to have a team of retards." I chuckled, as he did too, and then realized what I meant.
"You think I'm dumb?" I shook my head.
"No, but your team is. God, I've heard that leader guy talk to Vic before. No intelligence whatsoever. The smartest one is a real lazy one too, I think they said something about him having orange armour."
"What the hell? Why would they have orange armour if their colour is red?"
"I don't know! Ask them when you get there."
The guy sighed, looking down at his feet on the bench.
"I'm Greg." he put out his hand. Since he's on the opposite team, I was reluctant, but that doesn't mean I can't be civil.
"Alissa." I shook it in good will.
"Now I'm going to hate getting to Blood Gulch." I sighed.
"Why is that?" he asked innocently.
"Because I'm going to have to kill you."
"Oh yeah..." he trailed off, making the rest of the ride awkward.
"Well, it was good knowing you." I laid back on my chair.
"You too."
I turned to him confused out of my mind.
"Why would that be?"
"Because there's a guy on your team who is extremely stupid, but hasn't died yet."
"Oh, Caboose? Yeah, I've heard him on the radio a couple times. He's cool with me, besides, I like him."
"Like... like like him?" Greg asked, as I cocked my rifle and pointed it at him.
"No way in hell."
He put up his hands in defense.
"Okay, obvious no!"
"Good." I continued cleaning it.
A silence fell over the room, as I spoke too soon to love it.
"You're cleaning it with the chamber loaded?"
"Yes, because I would enjoy to die before I get to Blue base. It would do good for my team and my impression on them." I sarcastically replied.
"Are you-"
"Say it and I will not hesitate to kill a good friend."
"Alright." he quickly shut his mouth.
The default pilot announced we'd be landing shortly, as I gathered up materials from the plane I'd need.
For example, take metal from the walls. It's not like they're going to need it more than me.
