Hello, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've had pneumonia since about last Wednesday, so it's been more of me trying to get over it. Sunday was the last time I was writing and now it's starting to go away so the updates will be coming for both stories much quicker. Well I hope you enjoy.
I don't own Girls Und Panzer
Chapter 2
"Everyone up! 5K run in 15 Mikes!" John yelled as he ran through the rooms. They needed to stay in top physical condition.
It only took a few minutes before everyone was up and standing outside the building in the standard PT Uniform of the SEALs. It was only 0500 and the sun wasn't out yet making it somewhat cold. Yet the boys felt nothing, those three months spent training had changed their minds. When it came time to get something done they didn't hesitate, nothing would stand in their way.
"Ok let's get going, were going to make a run around the entire school before heading back towards here. After that will grab all our equipment and go to the shooting range. No one's allowed to leave until they can hit 75% of their shots at the 2 separate distances. Owen you're going to take a little trip with me after we finish shooting and were going to practice out to 1 mile with the tanks. John ordered before taking off running, the boys managed to finish the run quickly.
The entire time they were looking off to the sides trying to learn the carrier. It was massive with shops and homes everywhere. And while it was somewhat related to the states with its theme being the US there were notable differences as everything being in Japanese. They all knew this had been a plan for a while as they had been taught Japanese for no clear reason meaning they were all hand-picked before joining up.
The run was completed in under 18 mikes and they were all exhausted from it, sweat pouring down their faces. Every run in the morning was to be treated like a race so the times kept getting better and better seeing as they started above 20 mikes.
"Nice job, you guys are getting faster! I want everyone to change back into their AOR1 camo and to be outside carrying both their weapons and ammunition. Explosives training will begin tomorrow so leave those in there." John said before they all ran inside to collect their weapons and change.
Everyone had a little laugh when Jacob struggled up the AT4, MK17, and the ammunition. He received some help carrying the ammo from Brandon seeing as his ammo was the lightest.
There was a notable difference between the power of the between the 7.62 and 5.56 NATO rounds. While it might take one shot to the chest with the former it could take up to three with the later. But the pilots had every intention of not being on the ground so they didn't need as much protection.
Within minutes they were all outside with their weapons before being led by John through a few minute walk down to the range. It was next to the shooting range where the girls practiced with their tanks and one could be seen out there. A Sherman Firefly with a gunner that seemed to be rather accurate but this was of little importance.
"Alright I want everyone to put in their ear protection and pick a target. As soon as I give permission I want everyone to start firing. The four of us will be walking around giving tips and advice. As you know you will take all feedback no matter how harsh it is. Anyone with a scoped rifle will wait for us to walk over to them." John said as he motioned to James, Thomas, and Joseph.
They were at the 50M range and there was 1 other, a 300M range which would be the most important one considering they would typically be fighting at longer distances. The targets had a human silhouette with numbers indicating the success of the shooter from 1-10, 10 being a bullseye in the middle of the head or chest.
Today was not Joseph's day to shoot considering his shotgun's range and that there were two other ranges being built for that specific purpose. Close quarters weapons like pistols and shotguns which would be completed tomorrow.
Everyone walked in front of a target and stood there waiting for approval.
"Range is hot." John called before everyone raised their guns to their shoulder and took a shot. The relative quiet of the air being broken by the quick burst of fire from the different weapons.
"Your body is too rigid relax a little." James said as he walked up to Arthur who quickly took what he recommended. Most people were being told that they needed to do this or that except for the two snipers. They had been assigned their weapons based on the fact that they had shot for their entire lives.
"Bjørn, I want you to work on trigger control. Don't get carried away with the fact that you have a machine gun. Fire one shot per burst until I say so, after that we'll move onto three rounds. That's all we will work on, I rarely will want you to spray a target unless the situation demands it." Thomas offered as he walked up to him before lending a hand. He had the newest weapon and it was insanely accurate considering the type of gun. He knew John would use him in critical roles at distance.
Over the next few hours everyone began was shooting going through multiple magazines. They didn't stop until everyone could hit their targets. John was happy that everyone had some earlier experience shooting so there was no need to go over a safety course or teach them how to. All they could do was fine tune them and turn them into a well-oiled killing machine.
"Alright I want everyone to head over to the 300M range. Owen and Jacob, slight change of plans. You're coming with me now, were skipping the 300. Everyone else same rules as before." John ordered before everyone began moving to the range over. As ordered Owen and Jacob approached him before they moved over to the tank range. He had Owen set up at the half mile target and wait while he took Jacob over to a tank at 300M.
"Alright Jacob, I want you to pick up the AT4 and take out the safety-pin. Open the shoulder stop and place it over your shoulder while facing that target. Open the two sights and make sure no one is behind you for 50 feet. Unfold the cocking lever and adjust the sights to the correct range of 300M. Cock it and yell rocket before letting on fly." John said as he guided him through the steps. More girls were arriving to practice with their tanks and could be seen looking over at the boys.
"Back blast clear, rocket!" Jacob yelled before pulling the trigger, the 84mm rocket flying through the air at 950 ft. per second before impacting on its intended target. The noise of the explosion caused anyone who wasn't looking to turn their head and see the destruction. The tank it impacted was left with little holes all around and had a clear mark where they rocket hit.
"Direct hit! Now this weapon is single shot as you know so I want you to fire the next three launchers you brought with you. I'm going to watch you do this, now fire at the next three targets at the different ranges." John congratulated him with a pat on the back before watching him repeat the process. He was hitting targets at 100, 200, and 400M with deadly accuracy. He never missed a shot which was good, he would be useful. Although once he was done shooting his shoulder was hurting a little from the over pressure.
"Alright, now get up and run off to the 300M range." He ordered before Jacob got up and left. He then moved over to Owen who had watched them shoot before taking out a piece of paper.
"Now as you know from the fact that you are the best shot in the platoon you will have to properly sight a target. You will have to account for range multiplied by wind added by even more wind before being added to a constant which goes from 0-3 every 4 mph before being divided by 3. This will give you the FV MOA Wind, 3.438 MOA equals 1 Mil so you know what to do with the rest. As you can see over this paper right here this is the NSWG-1 TRADET Sniper cheat sheet. Keep this with you and memorize it." John explained as he went over the paper, Owens eyes focusing the entire time.
"Will do! Permission to begin firing at target number 3 with you as my spotter?" Owen questioned looking through the scope of his 50, the gun was massive and the girls hadn't fired a shot for a few minutes as they had focused on the boys.
Kay was watching the entire thing and even after seeing the accuracy of the boys thought they were still screwed. It was next to impossible to beat a force of superior numbers in her mind. This was probably one of the reasons they hadn't won a championship in a while but she never thought of it.
"Permission granted! You may fire when ready." John said as he took out a spotter's scope.
The air was dead silent as everyone waited for him to take his first shot. Then suddenly, boom! A shot rang out as he slightly pressed the trigger, the round traveling at 2,799 feet per second before impacting. The shell pierced right through the metal target giving off a flash as it hit.
"Nice hit! How does it feel?" John questioned as he looked over at Owen.
"Well I'm surprised I hit my first shot and that I didn't need to adjust the scope. This gun also kicks a lot and the over pressure is pretty annoying but it seems to get the job done." Owen said before rubbing his shoulder which was somewhat sore from all the shooting.
"Ok well I can't really help with the recoil and over pressure and you're a better shot than me so you know what to do pretty well. Now this gun is an anti-material rifle considering it can take out any personal no matter the armor with one shot. You can take out the engine block of a car or kill the crew of an APC." He explained as he held up one of the 12.7x9mm bullets, it was huge compared to the 7.62 they were using earlier.
To the girls it all looked small considering the shells they were using but they still looked. None of them had ever shot a gun before considering the strict rules in Japan about guns. Yet these boys, most of which were new to the sport had all shot for years. America was a completely different place from Japan in every way imaginable they thought.
After finishing off the first 10 round magazine he loaded another one before taking aim at a target 1 mile away. By this point it had been about an hour since they started shooting away from the group and they were making good progress. He had hit almost every shot he took and the mile-long target was hit over half the time making John proud. Their sniper was ready for what lay ahead.
"Alright good shooting, now since it's starting to get around lunch I want everyone to put everything back in their lockers." John said as he sent James a message telling them his plan.
He could see that Owen was tired, so he carried his ammo for him. The weight of the gun was 30.9 lbs. and would be extremely heavy. He would have to suck it up during the matches which lasted over 2 days at some points. For a match to last any less would be considered a shame against their commanders seeing as someone lost that quickly.
"Hey John I was thinking, what explosives can we use?" Owen asked as they walked back towards the lockers.
"Well for grenades we are only allowed to use flashbangs, smoke grenades, and fragmentation grenades. We will be using ET-MP, its new and from what I've been told extremely effective. All of us will be carrying a pound of C4 for those Oh Shit moments. We will be using anti-personnel landmines, no one else should be using them considering their extremely frowned up considering the force of electricity. This will not stop us though and we will kill anyone who gets near us with whatever means possible." John explained before turning to his side and saluting only for Owen to do the same.
Kay had walked up to them with the rest of the girl's team behind her. She was the only one to return the salute before speaking, the other girls paying no attention.
"I have some news for you. Your school uniform will be your regular camo and I have arranged a friendly for you against St. Gloriana. Their girls will be coming in an hour here today including their infantry commander who is a male. Apparently he's experienced so I'd watch out although I'm pretty sure the match will be fair." Kay said with a monotone voice before turning around and walking away. It seemed like she was trying to limit contact with the boys but why? He was told she was usually friendly so something was clearly wrong, was it maybe the fact that she didn't receive the troops she wanted. Whatever it was he would prove to her that they were the best of the best.
"Well that's some big news, let's break it to the men. Looks like lunch will have to be quick." He said to Owen before they started walking again.
After only a few minutes they arrived at their building before explaining to the men what was happening. Everyone quickly put down their equipment and walked over to the mess hall.
"So how did they do?" John asked James who quickly responded.
"Better than expected! I can now safely say that they will all be able to hit their targets over 75% of the time. Though I would love to work on shooting for the next few days for a few hours at a time."
"Good, as you know tomorrow will be explosives, the day after that we will work on CQC and more shooting. We have a match against some school called St. Gloriana in 4 days and there is a meeting with their leaders today. Apparently they have a relatively experienced commander but Kay said something about the match being fair. I don't know what she means by that but were definitely not going to be playing fair. I want us to take every advantage we can get and remember, It's not cheating unless you get caught. Oh and I want everyone when asked to say we only have M16s and no support when asked, understood?" He explained before they walked into the mess, the smell of cooked food making their mouths water.
It was amazing, the dining hall was huge because it had to supply so many students yet the quality of food was superb. They all loaded up on as much food as possible, they needed it considering the calories they burned. During the summer they were eating a 6 full meals a day and they were now going to step up the workouts again.
In the field they would be carrying MREs, while these were better than nothing they still weren't perfect. This wouldn't get in their way, they knew they had a job to do and nothing could stop them.
After eating a quick meal the boys all gathered outside the mess hall as Kay was standing out there with a few guests. It was annoying when people would give you information but not follow-up on it. This was one of those moments as the boys all came out talking only to have to quickly snap to attention.
Thankfully no one had spilled anything on them and they were all looking decent considering the hours of shooting they had done.
"John this is the commander of St. Gloriana, Darjeeling." Kay said before bringing forward a girl in nice blue clothing. Her blond hair tied up behind her head as she walked up in a sort of elegant manner. He took a look at the rest of their group which included 3 more girls and noticed a boy, about 16 he wore green camouflage with a black beret. Dark brown hair and a rather white skin color made him look like he was from England which wouldn't suprise them.
While he wasn't very tall or muscular his eyes could be seen darting around as if trying to take in the world around him as quickly as possible. No doubt he was smart and would be a difficult person to fight against but he knew they could pull it off.
"It is nice to meet you John, I'm guessing these are your men." The nice girl said.
"Yes ma'am, the finest you'll ever meet!" He declared causing the boys to stand taller. They were all still in uniform and had their sidearms on them, the HK USP in a holster ready to go at a moments notice. The British soldier also had a pistol on him, a Glock 17. While this shot 9mm ammo and it was effective the boys prefered the power of the 45.
"Is that so? Well this is our infantry commander Gregor Brown." Darjeeling said while motioning to the boy next to her. He held out his hand for a handshake and John took it. He began squeezing as hard as possible to try to intimidate him but no signs of pain were shown.
"Nice to meet you Lieutenant, I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield." He said.
"Same to you!"
"Well now that we have basic introductions done let's get something out-of-the-way regarding the match." Darjeeling said before walking towards the tank sheds. It was clear she knew her way around their carrier and everyone simply followed suit.
"So, if I may ask, what weapons do you use?" Assam questioned John causing to spin around to face her. He wondered why they were named after tea but decided it would be a little personal so he ignored it.
"Well since the school puts all of its money into the tanks we can only afford basic Vietnam era kit like the M16. Other than that we are not equipped with armor or support units and we are the only people." He explained, the entire time he was lying but she didn't know it. He seemed convincing enough and why would he lie to her when they first met.
"That seems like a problem! Are you confident you will be able to win anything this year?" She questioned which somewhat aggravated John but he understood her intentions.
"We'll figure out something." He responded which caused her to look down at the floor. She clearly felt bad for them but he tried to hold back a laugh. If he could make them sad and merciful then he could exploit a weakness therefore allowing them to win. They all seemed proper and he knew they wouldn't get their too dirty.
After the quick conversation they arrived at the tank sheds. They were covered in different variants of the M4 Sherman. While the money that was spent on this sport was extremely impressive it still didn't show any particular specializations. Everything was the same more or less and you couldn't really penetrate anything that had a lot of armor.
This would prove to be problematic as they were always losing matches because of this reason among others. But this was not John's problem, he had his own things to worry about and he would prevail unlike the girls.
After they walked through a couple of doors which made the sheds look even bigger and passed a few people on the way who said hi. It seemed as if the girls from St. Gloriana were regular visitors considering how they seemed to know everyone no matter how insignificant.
Eventually they were seated at a round table in what appeared to be a conference room. Now, come to think about it, it was the same room as the night before.
Kay walked up to the front of the room before speaking.
"We have a few ground rules to set so where should we start?"
"Well I think each team should only be allowed 12 people and we will not bring support as you don't have any." Darjeeling said revealing her sense of fair play to the entire room although they already knew it.
"Actua…" Kay began speaking before being cut off by John, it was clear that she got the sign but simply responded with a frown on her face. She didn't like it when people were lying or cheating but this was not her department. Besides she didn't want to get on the boys bad side anymore than she had to.
"Deal, anything else we want to get cleared?"
"Well the match as you know will be in four days at the proposed location which is a desert. I expect there will be nothing wrong with this, correct?" Darjeeling said causing John to nod. She then said a few other things on the rules which took a few minutes each.
"It's settled then, as is custom the teams will not meet before the matches and will head straight to combat. Everyone will abide by the rules and we will have a good match. Is there anything I should know about the opponents from the other schools?" He asked somewhat curious about who else they would be facing.
"Not that I know of, no one else has really talked about who they have." Gregor responded still scanning the room. It was as if he thought he was in a trap at all moments. This would be a problem but the boys could try to make them overconfident enough to get rid of it.
"Got it, well we'll figure it out one way or another." John said in a determined look, a spark could be seen lighting in his eyes as a devious smile crept across his face. The girls saw it and were somewhat nervous, what did he mean one way or another.
"Ok well we have to get going with some more training exercises. So have a good night!" James said before snapping off a salute and walking out the building followed by the other boys.
"Well that was weird, I think they are hiding something." Assam stated before the girls all got up and went in separate directions. This caused Kay to become a little nervous but she didn't show it much to her relief.
They then all got up and headed towards the helicopter pads. The sky was beginning to blacken with the sun setting over the horizon. It was still somewhat early, only 1800.
"Will you be watching the match?" Darjeeling asked Kay.
"Of course all though I doubt they will be able to do anything during the season."
"You shouldn't doubt them, I have a feeling they know more than their letting on." At the notion of this Kay raised her eyebrow. She knew the boys had lied about not having support but this was surprising. Darjeeling was inquiring that there were things that she didn't even know.
As she sat there thinking about this they had arrived at their helicopter. Its rotor blades turning, the loud noise of the powerful engine piercing the quiet night. The girls got onto the helicopter before it started to rise taking the Brits back with them.
"Bye!"
"Bye, see you in four days!
"Bye! All the girls said in unison as they waved. Only a few minutes later the helicopter was out of sight and Kay was left standing there in the darkness. She decided to find out what the boys were doing. Yet as she turned around she was met with the familiar sight of John standing only a few feet in front of her.
"How long have you been here?" Questioned Kay worried that he had heard the conversation about them earlier even though nothing bad was said.
"Just got here, I want you to come with me for something. Is that ok?" He said which completely caught her off guard once again.
"Sure but what are we doing?"
"Were conducting a training exercise. I'm having all my men play a little game of hide and seek. We'll be up in a helicopter trying to find them using different cameras. They are going to be hiding in the forest in full equipment. If we find them then they have to run. Were going to start doing every night until their perfect." He explained before taking her over to the armory were they were to all gather.
As soon as they walked in he saw everyone fully equipped. They had the infrared patches on the sides, one reading "don't tread on me" and the other of an American flag. They had Semapo Combat Pants which were the standard of the Navy SEALs including their AOR1. They all had both of their weapons with them including their body armor. To top it off each person was equipped with an expensive set of GPNVG-18 mounted on top of Ops Core Base Jump Helmet fitted for the standards of full combat.
All of their equipment made them carry an extra 60 pounds making them look exactly like the real SEALs. The pilots were simply equipped in their flight uniform with an NVS 9‑3AG system over their heads. While they would be carrying their weapons with them it would stay on the side of the helicopter.
"You guys look scary as hell!" Kay exclaimed noticing how every one of them had a face with camouflage painted over it. This caused them to laugh a little as they looked as the all began to stare at her menacingly making the feeling even more intense.
"Oh you think that's scary. Look at this!" John said as he took out a skeleton mask, an exact replica of the one the SEALs used.
"Holy shit that is scary!" Kay squealed as her eyes grew wide at the sight of the fully armed man in front of her.
"This stuff scared the hell out of the terrorists when they saw the SEALs coming. Intimidation helps a lot, Sun Tzu once said 'The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.' He was right then and he's still now so we take his words to heart." All the time he was saying this the boys were nodding, they all knew that their commander knew best.
"Interesting, are you guys going to be wearing this during the matches?" Kay questioned only starting to somewhat see its potential.
"Of course!" John exclaimed as he took the mask off.
"Now I want everyone to go find a place in the woods to hide. I'll be up in the air in 20 minutes. Get the Black Hawk ready to take off, we'll be heading up when I get there. Oh and when I point this laser on your body you have to get up and walk back here. Last one to get caught gets half the workout for the week." John declared before they all ran off. They all wanted not to do the full workout seeing as this week it would only get harder.
"So what do I do?" Kay questioned causing John to realize she was still there. He was caught up in how much he liked their uniforms. The potential for psychological warfare was massive and he was thinking of how to exploit that.
"Well take one of these, we have on extra!" He said handing her a NVS 9‑3AG before stepping back to take a look.
"It's more comfortable than I thought, we ready to go?" She said as she adjusted them on her head. Would the other schools have this nice equipment, or were they truly special.
"Yep, if you see anything let me know." He told her before they began walking towards the helicopter. It had been hidden the entire time the St. Gloriana girls were here and had only been taken out as soon as he gave the order. They had planned this in secret with the pilots and the boys had only just been informed.
"Welcome aboard Lieutenant, Commander." Brandon said as he nodded towards Kay. The Blackhawk was customized with shark teeth in the front and a pair of eyes along the pilots doors. The pilots were also equipped with a HGU-56/P attached to a 84/P face shield. Both of the shield had a skeleton's teeth drawn on them to make them look menacing.
"Alright boys, the game starts now!" John called out through his head set before receiving a series of replies acknowledging his statement.
"Ladies and gentlemen this is UH-60, we are now airborne. If you look to your right you see the school, beautiful isn't it. Now if you look to your right you see the dark depths of the ocean, thousands of feet deep, ready to swallow any and all notion of your existence. So today we will be flying a routine hide-and-seek mission, we typically have a crash rate of 80% so let's hope we get lucky." Luke joked before being punched by John and Brandon simultaneously. Kay knew it was a joke but she was still somewhat nervous which caused John to try to comfort her.
"It's just a joke, these things never crash. Now pop your NVGs on and start lookin'. Brandon I want you to fly in a circular pattern around the entire forest. We'll be on different comms so they can plan themselves accordingly." John said before turning on his 40,000 dollar goggles.
The world instantly lit up from pure darkness to one of a green tinge. It was like a veil had just been lifted off of his head for he could now see his surroundings. Now while he had used NVGs before Kay had never even seen them up close. She was astounded by them and was speaking in a tone so jubilant and fast no one could understand her.
"English, do you speak it!" John yelled while grabbing her with both arms causing her to stop talking. The pilot's simply died with laughter while still maintaining level flight.
"This is amazing! I wish we could use these for our tanks, it would make everything so much easier." Kay yelled while darting her head around.
"Ok well we can worry about that later. For now try to find my men." He ordered before she calmed down and started observing the forest. They all did, their heads slowly turning around as the helicopter flew slowly at a few hundred feet.
On the Ground
"Alright, stay in teams of two and make your way to the rendezvous point." James ordered as he slowly walked in between the bushes making sure to use as much cover as possible. He was with Bjørn and they, despite all the equipment, were making fast progress.
The rendezvous was in a cave James had heard about from the girls. If they could make it in there they could just wait it out, hopefully John didn't know about it.
While the 338 machine gun was not the heaviest thing it still weighed more than a Scar and Bjørn didn't complain. He had a mission to do and nothing would get in his way, he was tough and he wanted to make his family proud. They had promised to watch his matches from Norway and he wanted to give them a show.
"Contact south west, 500 feet up. It's them!" Owen called out through his headset causing everyone to look up at the approaching Black Hawk. They were still a mile away from the cave and no one wanted to be spotted this early. So, acting upon his wit, Owen jumped into a patch of bushes making sure to expose as little of his body as he could.
It only took a few minutes but the helicopter passed without anything happening. At least that was the story until an infrared laser began pointing towards a group of bushes 100 yards to his north. It was Thomas, he had been spotted and now had to walk back.
"Damn they got me! See you guys at the armory." He called as he got up and walked back. Dirty from all the hiding, he was tired from the work of the day and forgot to hide the patch on the left of his arm. It stuck out like a sore thumb, John instantly spotted the bright colors.
"Got it, I'm one click away from the rendezvous." Arthur called out, he was walking along the edge of a hill.
"Ok, I want everyone to make a dash for it when we get within half a click." James ordered as he was looking over the map in his hand. Hopefully he was right about the location of this cave.
Only seconds after he gave the order the laser came down once again. This time on Thomas who had been out of cover for only a second.
"I'm out, peace!" He called before turning tail and heading back. They had been hiding for only 15 minutes.
Everything was going perfect until they found the cave. There was a clearing in front about 100 yards in between the forest on all sides.
"Shit! Ok is everyone at the field surrounding the cave?" James questioned trying to formulate a plan for how to get around the problem in front of them.
"Yes sir, everyone is accounted for!" Owen called out.
"Good, I have an idea but it's going to be risky. I want someone to watch the helicopter and when it turns away from us you sprint to the other side." James ordered before looking up into the dark sky trying to spot the black hawk.
"I'll look for it!" Volunteered Owen as he then looked up and saw it flying south-west. He simply watched it until he noticed it turning to away from them.
"Now!" Owen called as James along with three others sprinted through the field into the cave. He had gotten lucky as he was expecting them to turn back any moment but they didn't.
"Ok, now there should only be 7 of us left. I want us to sprint on my mark." He said before once more keeping track on the helicopter. Yet it was flying towards them, why?
"Everyone hide!" He ordered before diving into the nearest bush.
In the Air
"You said you saw some movement over here?" John questioned as Kay simply nodded before pointing towards a patch of bushes on the outskirts of a field.
"Why would they risk getting caught on the edge of a field?" Brandon asked observing the landscape.
"Not sure, do you think you could get us lower?" John said.
"No problem!" Luke responded as he and Brandon lowered the helicopter to only a few feet off the ground.
"Hey, that bush right there. What's that glow?" Kay questioned still not entirely used to the night vision goggles. She was pointing at a nearby bush and John simply looked over and noticed a faint glow in between the leaves.
"You want to do the honors?" John said handing Kay the infrared laser before she pointed at a nearby bush.
As she did this two people got up out of the bush. It was at a distance where they couldn't make out their faces very well but he knew they had just gotten a few more. He would have to work on their stealth if they were to make it through the year, God only knows how advanced the equipment might be of some schools.
"Alright, nice job! We have 10 minutes left in this exercise before we it's over." He explained before she handed him back the laser.
"Oh look, it's the cave." Kay pointed out, it was clear she hadn't been paying too much attention to their surroundings after finding the soldiers.
"There's a cave here?" John asked before looking over at what he thought had just been a boulder of some sort.
"Yeah, we added one in last year and it's a really fun place."
"Huh, well I'm going to go in and investigate. You stay out here and spot anyone you see. Understood?" He said before Kay simply nodded, the pilots were still hovering at only a few feet and he simply jumped out.
"Is that allowed?" Kay asked remembering how she thought they were supposed to stay in the air.
"You make up the rules as you go along!" Joked Luke before they began to pull the helicopter up causing the trees around them to sway even more. They knew they were to fly back up to altitude and circle over waiting for new orders.
John could be seen running into the cave, Scar in hand and ready to rock. Yet right as he entered the cave he saw three people with guns pointed at him.
"Shit! How did you know I was coming?"
"We weren't all in the cave." James declared before they all got up and walked out. As soon as he said this figures on the edge of the field could be seen standing, revealing themselves to all around.
"Nice job! What this supposed to be a trap?"
"Not at all, we were just trying to hide."
"Well next time I want you to plan everything so you can turn it into any situation. Be it a trap, retreat, defense, or attack, remember, always be one step ahead of your enemy."
"Yes sir!"
"Alright Brandon, bring her down in the middle of the field. Were heading home." John called over the radio before the Black Hawk began to touch down on the ground making a perfect landing.
"Ok everyone hop on!" Luke called as the boys began running and jumping onto the empty seats. Within seconds the entire helicopter was full of these camouflaged, dirty, and tired soldiers simply leaning against the interior.
As soon as everyone was on the helicopter took off, the doors were never to be closed unless heading in for a match. This meant there was more room to stretch but if anything happened you could fall out the side.
"Well I'm not sure what we'll do since you guys won." John said before Kay looked at him puzzled. The entire time she thought they had won. It was like she had completely zoned out and wasn't paying any attention. She decided not to talk as she wanted so see what the repercussions would be.
"We'll figure it out later." James said before the helicopter began to slowly pitch down.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we would like to thank you for flying with us today. We hope you had a nice flight and we can't wait for you to be with us again." Luke once again joked before putting the helicopter down.
"Alright, everyone go change and hit the sack!" John ordered. Only moments later they all walked head first into the long, cold, night.
That's it for this chapter, hope you liked it and as I said earlier, expect new ones soon.
