Why Toy Guns are Not Allowed in The Military
Author: Had way too much fun with this. I don't own these guys though I enjoy playing with them.
Snake Eyes cocked his head slightly as he looked at the spot where his motorcycle was normally parked. "I did leave it here last night... didn't I?" he thought, casting a glance at the empty spot as he left the garage, as if expecting it to appear the moment he looked away.
"Morning sensai." Jynx said, before offering him a sip of tea. The ninja's tended to stay away from coffee. He pulled his mask up to take a drink and she cringed inwardly at the sight of his scars.
"Do you know where my bike is?" he signed, returning the mug.
"I thought you parked it in the garage." she said.
"I thought I did too." he admitted.
"How much did you have to drink last night?" she teased.
"Not nearly as much as Long Range. And not nearly to black out." he told her.
"Go ask Shana." she suggested.
"Where is Komakura?" he asked, looking around for his male apprentice who seldom strayed from his female counterpart.
"I think I saw him talking to Tunnel Rat earlier." she told him.
Snake Eyes shook his head and went off to find Scarlett.
"How much was left when you gave it to Heavy Duty?" Duke asked, taking a sip of his coffee just outside the ROCC.
"A couple of mouthfuls. Well maybe one for him. Long Range is the only one of us who really got a buzz last night." Scarlett said as Snake Eyes slid an arm around her waist.
"Did you have fun last night?" Duke asked.
Snake gave the blonde a thumbs up before signing into Shana's hand, "Did we park the bike in the garage last night?"
"After we got Long Range in bed and came back from our ride? Yeah, why?" she asked.
"It isn't there now." he told her.
"Komakura and Tunnel Rat were scheming this morning. Do you think they took off on it?" she asked.
"For their sakes, I hope not." he said, pressing his cheek to hers.
"Tunnel Rat, if sensai tans my hide for taking his bike I'm blaming you." Komakura said, as they exited the toy store.
"I can't believe they only had one." Tunnel Rat complained.
"He is going to kill you for this." the young ninja groaned.
"Where did you two go? Sensai was looking for his bike." Jynx demanded as they pulled to a stop in the garage.
"We went to the store." T-Rat said as he took off towards the tent where only Long Range remained asleep.
"Oh dear." Jynx whispered.
"This was all his idea." Komakura told her.
"What time is it? And how much did I drink last night?" Long Range thought as the sunlight stung his eyes through his eyelids.
"Wakey wakey." came a voice from nearby that he didn't recognize.
"Who the hell?" he thought, sliding his pistol from under his pillow slowly so not to alert the figure that was approaching to the fact that he was awake.
The footsteps stopped next to his cot and aimed what looked like an old Smith and Weston at him. "Since when does Cobra use a Smith and Weston?" he growled, pressing the barrel of his pistol against the figure's shoulder. His first guess was that it was Cobra but he preferred to shoot first and ask later.
"Oops. Um... it's plastic." Tunnel Rat whimpered, before he ran for the tent flap. Long Range fired off several quick shots at him, the last one hitting him in the ass.
"Ow that hurt!"
"What in the world?" Scarlett asked as Tunnel Rat landed in a heap nearby.
"I had nothing to do with it I swear." Komakura whimpered.
Four more shots hit the ground around Tunnel Rat: one above his head, one at his feet and one on either side of him. Long Range moved to stand over him, aimed a gun at him and whispered, "And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand. That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patri. Et Fili. Spiritus Sancti." Everyone stared Tunnel Rat went still and Long Range placed a penny over each of his eyes before walking towards the ROCC.
"He just killed Tunnel Rat." Jynx whispered.
Long Range glared at Heavy Duty who looked ready to punch him and said, "It wasn't loaded.
"I thought he was gonna kill me for a minute." Tunnel Rat whimpered, sitting up. The inside of his pant legs were dark and wet.
"You know, I'd hate to court marshal you for murdering him. No matter how annoying he is." Duke told Long Range.
"They'd have to get close enough to bring me before anyone." the sniper said.
"I'm sure that would be difficult." Spirit admitted.
"Scarlett what happened to that bottle of tequila from last night?" Long Range called.
"I gave it to Heavy Duty." Scarlett shouted.
"Why?" he demanded, leaning against the door frame of the ROCC.
"You were pretty buzzed." Snake Eyes told him.
"How much was left?"
"A few mouthfuls." Scarlett said.
"It was pretty good tequila bro." Heavy Duty admitted.
"I wish you had gotten the worm, cabron." Long Range growled.
Snake Eyes turned to Komakura and Tunnel Rat. "If you two ever take off on my bike for some idiotic scheme with or without my permission I will lock you both in a very small room with Jynx while she is practicing blindfolded." he signed furiously before Scarlett pulled him away.
"We don't need you court marshaled for unjust punishment." she told him gently. He made a sound in the back of his throat that passed for a snicker as he gave her a squeeze.
"Would he do that?" Tunnel Rat asked.
"Yes. Though I guess it could be worse." Komakura admitted.
"What's worse?" the red head asked.
"Target practice with Long Range! As the target!" Scarlett called over her shoulder.
