Here's Chapter 2! I'll probably try and add a new chapter once a week at least, but on a good week I might reward you guys with a new chapter every day, depending on what kind of reviews I get. Enjoy.

Chapter 2

Blue Team

"I've got this," Tex sighed and started at the Red's as they jumped off the Pelican after their Scorpion.

But as the Reds hopped off their Pelican Tex was shocked to see them begin to fall onto each other as the first pair to get off didn't move from their spot. The first four fell right in front of her and it was all Tex could do to hold in her laughter at seeing someone as inept as the normal Reds. But the fifth Red jumped over the tangled mass of arguing and cursing Reds and landed with a heavy thud. He was enormous, at least eight feet tall and sturdily built beneath his red and orange trimmed Mk. VI armor, probably bigger than the Meta was. He had an exceptionally rare SPARTAN Laser magnetized to his back and a pair of SMG's on his thighs. He stood before Tex putting himself between her and his inept team.

"Let's go big boy," Tex whispered and charged at him.

The big man assumed a lazy relaxed fight stance and stood calmly as Tex sprinted straight at him. She reeled her fist back and started to swing at the Red's visor but then, at the last minute, he did something that Tex never saw coming. Instead of moving to block her powerful punch the man simply sidestepped to Tex's right and held out his leg in a schoolyard move. But it was the exact right thing to use and Tex careened into the outstretched leg and began tumbling, smashing into the Scorpion's nose. Tex was furious, she leapt up onto her feet and lunged at the giant again, but instead of sidestepping he just lift a single gloved hand and grabbed Tex by her helmet and lifted her clean off the ground. Even at arm's length Tex couldn't reach his body with her legs. Then the Red began squeezing her helmet, she could feel the alloy stressing as he tightened his grip. Then Tex's helmet slipped and she dropped to the ground and looked up at the man still holding her helmet. But then something changed about him when he saw her face.

"Hey chill out cuz' I'm not gonna hurt you," the man said in a surfer's voice that Tex recognized instantly.

"There's only one man that is as big as you are, has armor like yours, and has your crazy way of seeing the world. Isn't that right, Hawaii?" Tex realized.

"In the flesh baby!" Hawaii held out his arms wide as if greeting a crowd of fans.

"God, it's good to see you. You old nut where've you been all these years?" Tex cheered, "and what are you doing with these losers?" pointing at the Reds who were just beginning to get up off the ground.

"Hey, like that's not cool, they're my friends. They helped me out of a jam and I've helped them out since. Wanna meet 'em?"

"Listen, I don't think this is the time for that so why don't you give me my helmet back and we can talk later."

"What, why not? The girls won't bite," Hawaii asked innocently.

"Because I'm a Blue, or I work with them. And let's just say that they wouldn't like it if they found out."

"Bummer, that would cast some serious negative waves on the day now wouldn't it?"

One of the Reds got up from the pile and saw Tex and immediately began yelling. But her comrades didn't bother listening.

"Hey hippy who's she? If she's a Blue I'll blow her brains out!" she yelled.

"Again with them negative waves Carpy, how many times do I have to tell you it's not good for the soul?" Hawaii groaned innocently, "Hey Liz, Lisa, come on now, no need to fight."

Tex watched Hawaii try and calm down the Reds who were still battling each other on the ground near where they had been dropped off. They wore Maroon and Orange and Orange and Maroon Mk. VI armor respectively and next to them were a pair of Assault Rifles and a few backpacks. The one that had noticed Tex was now being held back by Hawaii sported identical armor to that that Sarge wore except for some adjustments that were necessary for accommodating a girl's stature. She held onto a Shotgun with one hand and with the other she tried to escape Hawaii's grip. The last Red wore Pink and White armor with a Sniper Rifle on her back and then went ballistic once she saw their tank and the dent in the hull from when Tex hit it.

"Who the fuck dented Monty? Hippy if it was you I'll kill you."

Tex quietly turned around and walked back to her base and left Hawaii to sort out his mess. As she walked back the other Blues stood on top of the base, anxiously awaiting Tex's return. Church saw her coming and called out to her.

"What the Hell was that all about? And who the fuck was that?"

"He's a Freelancer, but don't worry he's harmless if you stay on his good side. But if you cockbites try and fuck with him he'll tear you a new one."

"Just great, the Reds get a tank and a Freelancer! This is just fuckin' perfect!" Tucker groaned.

"But the rest of them are actually girls Tucker."

"Say what?"

Red Team

Grif stood watch and saw the Pelican come down on the opposite side of the hill with its Scorpion in tow and then hover just below the hill separating them from Blue Base and then watched it take off. After a few minutes of thought he heard a loud diesel engine rev up and saw a Scorpion come rolling over the crest of the hill.

"Uh, Sarge we have a tank coming this way," he whined on the radio.

"What! Those dirty Blues, they're attacking us in the middle of breakfast! Diabolical."

"What do I do?" Grif asked, scared stiff as he watched the Scorpion come closer.

"Grif listen carefully, I want you to run at that tank as fast as you can and when it blows you to bits try lodge as many body parts into its treads and try and blind the driver with a spray of your own blood. That'll buy us enough time to get ready to counter-attack."

Grif decided to ignore Sarge as always, instead he aimed down the sight of his Battle Rifle and couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Sarge, you won't believe this but…"

"Grif, why aren't exploding to save me?"

"Sarge they're Reds!" Grif yelled back, and actually earned silence.

"Are you sure?"

"Who else wears Red armor that isn't a Red?"

"Hmm…" Sarge grumbled, "That's too bad, I really wanted to see how many bits of you a single shot can make. But I guess I'll have to settle for this."

The Scorpion parked right in front of the base and off of it came five Reds, and to Grif's immense surprise, four were girls! As they dismounted the tank Sarge and the other local Reds walked out to meet the newcomers.

Grif could not pass up this opportunity to actually talk to a friendly girl so he ran down the ramp and joined his team. Sarge stepped forward and started the talking after an awkward few moments.

"Uhh, hello I'm Sarge, I'm the CO around here. And you are?" Sarge asked suspiciously.

One of the girls, the one in solid red armor, stepped forward and offered a hand in greeting to Sarge.

"I'm Corporal Carmen, nice to meet you. I guess this is Valhalla?" she said in what sounded like a Southern accent.

"Uh-huh," Sarge responded, shaking her hand.

"Alright then, I guess introductions are in order, this is my squad," she pointed to the orange girl," this is Liz," then she pointed to the maroon girl," and her twin sister Lisa," then she pointed to the one in pink," that's Kate, and that's," she pointed to a giant in red and orange armor.

"I'm Agent Hawaii, what's hangin' dudes?"

"Come on mate, do I have to introduce me self?" an Australian accented voice said from the tank.

"Shut up Monty I didn't forget you," Carmen growled.

"You have a smart tank?" Simmons asked, surprised.

"That's what he's supposed to be," the red one, Carmen, grumbled.

"Hey!" the pink girl shouted.

"Well he isn't very helpful!" the maroon one retorted.

"Says you!"

As a massive argument started the local Reds were dumbfounded watching what was essentially an exact copy of themselves. Soon the Freelancer was holding two of the Reds under his arms, trying to keep them from physically fighting, and was trying to calm down the pink and red girls who were at each other's throats. The entire time the local Reds stood by and just quietly watched, not really sure what to do.

"Anyone else feel a sense of déjà vu?" Simmons asked.

"No shit."

That's Chapter 2. What do you guys think? I know this one isn't my best but trust me it'll pick up in the next few chapters. And you won't believe what kind of trouble these guys and gals will be goin' through so stick around.
