Overrated

They say live life to fullest, I say life hope and happiness is overrated, and love can kiss my armored butt….

Chapter 1: the new girl.

Valhalla, no one was happy with seeing this place again, it may be familiar, and everything was constant, and normal, but…it was also filled with painful memories, memories that everyone wanted to forget. At Blue base it seemed more depressing then it should, it was only two of them now, just two, well plus Wash, but he was new, Church and Tex were gone, not that Tex was really part of the team, she was hired not assigned, even so, the two began to miss her bitchyness and his wiseassness, if that's even a word. Caboose ran to the pelican calling out Sheila, only to be reminded that she had little to no power left for her to work on, setting him into a depressing mood as well. Tucker sat down outside, leaning against the walls of the base, he wondered if he should go looking for Jr. now, or if he should wait for the little guy to come back home.

"I miss Church," Caboose said as he shuffled over to Tucker, kicking dirt up as he went.

"Stop that Caboose, Church is gone for good, at least he won't be alone, he got Tex," Tucker said, thinking that keeping the mood light would be better for both of them, he wouldn't admit it out loud but Tucker missed them too, life at blue base won't be the same "why don't you go try and transfer Sheila to something," he sighed before returning to his thoughts.

"But Tucker; only Tex could move her."

"Caboose go ask Wash to help" Tucker offered with a slight groan.


Down at Red base everything was normal, they didn't lose anyone important, and donut had been gone for a long time, no point in crying over him. But as they entered their base there were two people they didn't expect to see.

"Hey guys what took you so long?" a man in pink asked, he sounded happy to see them.

"How the hell?" the three men said in unison. "Donut?" they stared at the man sitting in the room baffled that he was there.

"Yeah, Doc and I got picked up and dropped off here, along with this new guy," Donut said as he pointed to a new guy wearing bright red armor, with black trimmings.

"No, Donut, we thought you died, we saw you die," Simmons said not paying attention to the new guy.

"Oh that? Well, it turns out it just missed all my vitals, I just have a low tolerance for pain."

"Alright well now that that is cleared up, who are you?" Sarge asked looking at the new guy.

He took off his helmet and smiled at them, black hair fell down and over his red eyes, he had a scare over his right eye, but the rest of his tanned skin wasn't touched.

"I'm Zero Kingston," he introduced.


A girl in sapphire and lavender armor was driving over to blue base, going over the fresh snow that covered the gray rock that they were placed on. She was above the base, but a part of her was starting to think that coming her was a bad idea.

"Look there's blue base!" she beamed. "Looks like there's no going back now," she said to herself as she drove down towards the base. She parked and looked down falling off from this height wasn't the smartest of ideas she went back to the jeep and pulled out her climbing gear, then, after securing herself, she made her decent.

"Hey do you hear something?" Tucker asked his back facing the waterfall.

"Hmm? No not really, hey…who's that?" Wash asked as he squinted to see better, seeing a soldier on the side of the cliff side going down, in blue armor.

Tucker turned around and saw that he was right, he did hear something, and that something happened to be the new girl, the girl turned he head and waved at them.

"Don't just stand there help me down!" she yelled, she had forgotten she was deathly afraid of heights, that was until she looked down at them, laughing in the beginning because they looked like blue dots. She held onto the rocks, cursing to herself about how much she hates heights, how she was going to die from falling. It was an hour before she was safely on the ground, no thanks to tucker or caboose, it was Wash who helped her get her feet on the ground. She fell to the ground and didn't move for a moment thanking the lord that she was safe, and telling herself that she will never climb that cliff again, it was a while before she remembered where she was and who was near her. she stood up and giggled.

"Thanks, i forgot how high that was," she laughed.

"Who are you?" Wash asked.

"Me?" she asked pointing at herself. "I'm Doll Kingston, your new rookie," she happily introduced.
