Sgt. Brady

86th E.O.D PACK

As I lay in my bunk wondering what my mate was doing at this vary monument, I heard a loud blast that could be heard from miles away. The sound of the blast rattled and violently shook the entire base. This un-expecting noise was so loud that it literally made me jump. When this I happened I relied on my instincts. I hoped off my bunk and I began to pack up my belongings.

I heard this many times, but it wasn't out of the ordinary, but I still took precautions. I ran out of my bunk room, and down one particular hall out of the hundreds of halls the base holds. I ran down and into another room where me and only specified people were assigned to, luckily I was one of them. I turned down another grey walled and white floor hallway and turned into another room labeled "Supplies". As I entered the room, I took note that others have beaten me to the room and took what they needed.

While I was packing my ruck, I just so happened to hear the foot prints of another soldier walk in. There, right in front of me, was Hunter (my battle buddy). Hunter was not very tall, but he was more built than the average soldier you usually see. His fur was mainly black and streaks of blue running partially down his body, accompanied with a few scars. As I sat there packing, Hunter leaned down near my side.

"Still not faster than me bro." Hunter chuckles lightly as he watched me pack my belongings.

"Ha ha ha, one day I will catch up to you." I said sarcastically, shaking my finger at him ever so slightly as I didn't stop to search for my things. I stood up and placed my left hand on my waist and my right hand on the top of my right eye brow.

"If I had placed it here, and the others came and got there stuff, then it would be… Ah, here it is." I said as I found what I was looking for, grasping a picture of someone important. Hunter smiled and shook his head slightly. I ignored him and continued to pack the last of my belongings and placed in in my ruck. When I was finished, I threw my ruck onto my back with some help from Hunter from the weight it held when I placed all that I didn't want to forget.

"A little too much weight for ya, ain't it bro?" hunter chuckled as he easily lifted it and placed it correctly on my back. I chuckled and shook my back to readjust the un-even weight. I turned and saluted him, with Hunter saluting back. We both cut our salutes and I turned to head for the door, opening it and heading once again down the hallways to yet, another room.

We started to talk and joke around like we usually did in the mess hall as we start heading for the door to go get our orders, the door opens and out comes 2nd Lt. Ella. Upon seeing her, both I and Hunter pop to attention.

"ROOM, A-TEN-HUT!" I yell, but not realizing it was only Hunter and I in the hallway, making 2nd Lt. Ella giggle softly.

"Carry on." She said very calmly.

"Boys you have your work cut out for you today." She says handing over a folder to me. I took it and opened it up, and Lt. Ella continued to talk.

"It's General Juhziz, he's back." Lt. Ella continued as she looked both at me and Hunter for responses. I held the folder loosely in my grasp, not believing what I heard. I turned my head to look at Hunter with a confused, worrying, but yet exciting look. Hunter gave back a worried and confused look upon seeing my excitement.

"Why are you so excited? It's General Juhziz!" Hunter shouted, but coughed and pounded his chest like something else made him do so.

"We got this," I said waving the folder in my grasp in front of him.

"And we got some new things to see from him." I said with a smile.

"Its not the General who you used to know." Lt. Ella said, bursting my bubble.

"Wait, it isn't?" I asked, worried. Hunter just shook his head side to side with his left hand covering his eyes.

Looke here we have a little cliffhanger don't we. Well it looks like this General is very feared. What will happen next? Who will rise and who will fall? Guess you will have to find out next chapter.

And as always please remember to Review and tell me what you think.
