Hey everyone! This chapter is dedicated to Blue Team's (A combination of QUARTET NIGHT and HEAVENS) strategies and behavior. Red Team's (STARISH) planning will come in chapter two, if you're waiting for that! I'll be switching viewpoints starting at chapter 3 when we run into the actual game. AND I'M SORRY, if you're waiting for me to update my other fanfic "Trying Too Hard", I just need a quicky break from that one right now, but I'll get around to updating it soon; I promise! Last thing, I hope you enjoy the cover XD I edited it myself. Also, DISCLAIMER: I do not own Utapri and I've actually never played paintball myself, so if I get anything wrong then I'm sorry! ENJOY!

-Blue Team-

"This is war!" Camus shouted, slamming an authoritative fist down on the table. He was clad in make-shift camouflage and war paint covering his cheeks.

It was the day before the game and Camus had gathered all of his teammates in an attempt to break down the activity piece-by-piece to ensure victory. He couldn't even remember how they got into this mess but he sure as hell remembered the prize for winning, just as he was sure that everyone else remembered.

The prize? A group date with Haruka but still nevertheless a date. Everyone was motivated to succeed, even if they didn't outwardly show it.

They were gathered in a park, sitting at a picnic table. It was a neutral spot for both of the groups.

"And who pronounced you leader?" Eiichi questioned, scoffing at the very presence of such a prideful man.

"Ya, Eiichi's got a point." Nagi added, "No one elected to you to the position!"

This caused Reiji to have an idea. "Alright you two, I know how to settle this." He quickly pointed his finger towards Eiichi, "Everyone in favor of Eiichi, raise your hand."

The smug fool smiled charismatically but was surprised when no one raised their hand for him except himself.

Wow, what a narcissistic bastard Ranmaru thought, irritated.

"Ok, now everyone in favor of Nagi raise your hand."

Nagi quickly raised his hand and eagerly looked around, receiving not a single motion from anyone. His eyes quickly darted to Kira, filled with pain and betrayal.

"Kira, how could you?"

Kira simply shook his head. Eiichi sat next to him and was quick to give his own response, "You didn't vote for me so I didn't vote for you."

Nagi stuck out a tongue towards the man but was silenced when Reiji announced the final vote, "And everyone who votes for Camus, raise your hand."

Almost instantly, five people rose their hands. Everyone from Quartet Night had voted for Camus and only Kira had broken away from Heavens to vote for him. Now both Nagi and Eiichi had pain glazed on their eyes.

Our own band member betrayed us!

"The result was to be expected." Ai whispered, with Kira nodding in agreement.

"Then it's decided, Camus is officially our leader!" Reiji declared.

"Enough mindless chit-chat!" Camus snapped, "There are strategies to be made." He quickly produced a make-shift map of the area from his pocket.

"What the hell? It looks like a kindergartner drew this!" Ranmaru was resisting the urge not to laugh as he observed the blond's crappy drawings complete with stick figures and weird looking shapes.

"I believe a circle is supposed to be a circular shape." Ai cut in, "With an area of 360 degrees evenly."

Reiji was already laughing by that point and Eiichi and Nagi were starting to bash Camus' artwork with their own comments.

"Is that supposed to be a bear? Pffft it looks like a cat with diabetes!"

"Wow, you suck at drawing."

The blond's teeth gritted, "You fools wouldn't know art if it hit you in the face!" He raged, quickly quieting the group.

He coughed to himself, "As I was saying, strategy is of upmost importance!" He found a stick and used it to point to his marks on the paper, describing them in further detail.

"This." He drew a circular motion with the stick over a red star, "Is STARISH's base and where their flag resides."

"The objective in capture the flag is to obtain the enemy's flag without being captured." Ai quickly put in.

Camus nodded, "That is correct. But since this is paintball capture the flag, we must capture the enemies flag without being shot."

Nagi raised his hand.

Camus sighed and stopped, pointing to the young boy's hand. "Yes, what is your question boy?"

"What happens when we shoot them or they shoot us?"

"It's gonna hurt like shit." Ranmaru grinned, "First time I ever played, I came home with bruises covering my arms and legs. Let's just say, my parents thought I got into a fight on my way back home."

Nagi looked utterly terrified from hearing that but Reiji quickly added, "It's always uncomfortable the first time you're shot, but you get used to it as you go. Your adrenaline's gonna be pumping out fast, so your body will usually hardly feel the pain if you are shot."

Camus snorted, "In simple terms, it's kill or be killed. Fire at them before they can fire at you."

"Or die trying..." Kira muttered.

"Ok, so we will brake off into three teams from our original group. I can not stress enough how important it is to stay with your group."

"My data indicates that staying in a group increases your survival rate to 80% while breaking away leaves you with a mere 30%," Ai commented.

Reiji shivered, "That's like the horror movies, when you're by yourself, you're a goner."

"So basically, don't be the idiot that wants to endanger himself and his teammates." Camus stressed. "Anyway, there we will be two main groups that we really mainly stick in. The group that guards the flag and the group that moves to go and capture STARISH's flag. Or in simple terms, team beta and team alpha."

"Why did you choose those names?" Eiichi questioned, "they sound stupid."

"Ok, well no one asked you." Camus snapped, "I chose them because they're easy to remember."

"They sound pretty badass to me." Ranmaru glared at Eiichi as the others nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, I've already gone to the liberty of assigning who will be in which team, just so we don't have to waste anymore of our precious time bickering," Camus scoffed, "Creepy glasses guy, Ranmaru, Reiji, short stuff, and I will compose team alpha, and will lead the main assault on STARISH's flag; eliminating them as we go. Ai and Kira, you two will compose team beta, and will act as the main defensive barrier if STARISH manages to breakthrough our assault and find their way to our flag."

Nagi couldn't believe what he just heard, "Are you serious? What kind of crappy plan is that? Do you even know how many things could go wrong!?"

Camus glared at the boy and Ai spoke up for him, "When Camus said 'two main groups' he didn't say you can't break off from your main team Alpha, Nagi."

The young boy was more amazed that the usual stiff blue haired boy speaking even knew his name.

Camus nodded, "You're free to break off from team Alpha into a third group, I only stress that you should have at least two of the five other people from team Alpha following and covering you for strategy concerns. Otherwise it's a free for all as long as you know where you're going, what the plan is and where the others are."

"Well then why does Kira and Ai get their own group?" Reiji asked, genuinely curious.

Camus was happy to respond to this, "Simple, because they know what the hell they're doing. Ai is calculative and comes up with commendable defensive strategies on his own, but he needs that extra wall of defense to carry out his plans. Kira acts as that wall and will follow Ai's directions accordingly."

"Ya right, I don't see Kira decorated with medals." Eiichi sneered.

"But unlike you, Kira understands his defensive position well." Camus smiled, "and knows when to shut his goddamn mouth."

For more than three hours, Camus went on his long, boring, calculative speech. Outlining what to do if any of them were captured, how to reload the gun, and ironically how to convert your pee into drinkable water; if it came down to it.

My god, he's taking this way too seriously Ranmaru thought, hardly listening to any of the nonsense Camus was going on about and instead fidgeting with his silver hair and drifting off to sleep.

It was dark by the time Camus had finished.

"In finality, use anything you can find for cover. Whether it be trees, oil barrels, buildings, animals, or even people use them. Our objective's to win. Plain and simple."

Ranmaru was snoring by the end of it all and when he registered that the background noise was gone he suddenly sat up, eyes darting open and erupted into an applause.

"THANK GOD! It's finally over!" He stood up, rubbing his sore ass from all the sitting and made his way to his car, "See you guys tomorrow, I'm going the hell to bed."

Reiji yelled back to him, "See ya Ran-Ran~!"

Ranmaru simply stuck up a hand in response, not even bothering to turn around. Reiji was the next to leave. "Well, that was fun, but I'm tired too; get tons of sleep you guys!"

"We'll need it." Kira began to leave after him.

"WAIT!" Camus shouted before any of the men could further make their departure. "We need a team name."

"Why? Again, it's a completely unnecessary thing that only takes up mo-" Nagi was cut off when Ai spoke,

"Blue. Team Blue."

"Any complaints?" Camus demanded making eye-contact with everyone. For once, Eiichi and Nagi kept their mouths shut, probably because they were already too tired to complain.

"Then we shall become the Blue Team."

And so, Blue team was born.

Thanks for reading the first chapter! If you haven't gotten it already, Blue team is SUPER dysfunctional :D But like the word 'dysfunctional' it contains the word 'fun!' We'll just see how that turns out. Oh and Camus is like the stiff-ass drill sergeant of the whole group and is REALLY big on planning... let's see how STARISH fairs! STARISH's chapter comes next. Reviews are welcome!
