A/N : This story is about the beginning of the U.W.R. team in my first and the first Worms story ever (probably) : 'Undead War'.
Disclaimer : I don't own Worms series. I do own my own characters (probably every characters existed in here.)
Chapter 1 : Teamless.
On the top of the hill, stood a large building with a grenade banner on the walls. The walls were covered with wires, and worms were seen patrolling on every corner.
It was the headquarters of the Worms Army. It was designed to withstand almost every form of assault. Land mines everywhere, spotlights on every towers, and don't forget the alarms. There are also some secret underground escape routes suppose if the fortress falls, and to make sure it doesn't fall to the wrong hand, there's always the self-destruct button on the mainframe tower.
It was 12 o'clock. The sun was shining brightly in the open sky. Birds were singing in the forest. It was a sunny day.
A worm wearing white gloves and gray helmet was seen carrying a bag. He was heading toward the fortress. As he saw the large structure upon his eyes, he smiled. "At last. The Worms Army Headquarters." He spoke as he began to walk to the building.
Upon his arrival, the worms who were guarding the gate held their weapons tightly and pointed them at him. "Halt! State your business!"
"I'm here for the recruitment."
The guards returned back to their ease stance. "Very well. Access granted." The worm walked inside, but he caught something strange on the face of some of the guards. They were… staring at him with unexplainable emotions. Strange? Funny? But the worm just dismissed them and continued on his way.
As he entered the mainframe building, he took a glance on the soldiers inside. ALL of them were standing in groups, then it hit the young worm.
He needs a team.
But it was already too late to turn back. He need to face the General, whether he had a team or not.
"Name?"
"Jeff Wormoore, sir."
"Team?"
Jeff stood with his mouth kept shut. The General was staring at him with a frown, "Don't tell me you don't have one."
The poor embarrassed worm was still silent. The General knew the answer, and got mad, "You do realize that we don't accept lone worm don't you?"
"Y-yes sir. I do."
Without a warning, the General swung his fist to the table, "Get out from my office!"
"S-sir!" Jeff stuttered. "Please give me some time to gather my team! I promise, I'll be back with 5 more worms!"
"We have strict rules Mr. Wormoore! You are not getting my permission!"
"Please! I need to join the Army this year! Please give me a chance!" Jeff pleaded to the General.
The General was silent for a while, then he spoke, "Very well. I'll give you 84 hours to gather your team. Longer than that, you're not going to be part of the Army, FOREVER!"
Jeff considered the risk, and in 10 seconds, he answered with a salute, "Thank you, sir! I'll gather my team 84 hours, no more!"
"Now, dismissed before I changed my mind!"
Jeff quickly walked out. He was happy and worried at the same time. He had his chance, but if he failed, he wouldn't be able to join the Army. But he was sure he had more than enough time to gather his men.
