Chapter 2: York's Training Incident

It had been two days since Connecticut blipped up on a mission. Washington (real name David) was walking along a hallway when he gets flagged down by North.

"Hey, Wash, wait up. Look, i heard you had a meeting with Internals."

"Oh, ya did?"

"Mind if i ask what it was about?"

"Not really supposed to talk about it."

"C'mon, help me out. I'm still getting heat about using equipment in the field."

"You did? Really? Without a pipeline back to the Command server?"

"I had to improvise, we had a problem."

"Lemme guess. Are you related to the problem?"

"Okay, now i don't want to talk about it."

"Equipment in the field. Now don't forget what happened to Utah during training, you're lucky it didn't kill you."

"If i was lucky i wouldn't have needed to use it at all."

"Well, you can relax, Internals didn't ask about you. It was a bunch of other stuff. Stuff about the Insurrection, and transmissions coming out of our -" Wash couldn't finish as a red-armored Freelancer bumped into him.

"Wait. KZ18? What's going on? Where's everybody running to?"

"New agent squaring off against Maine, Wyoming and York on the training room floor. Going to watch. Hey, Scarbolt, wait up!" With that, KZ18 (Ranpha in her Freelancer armor) ran off after her buddy Scarbolt (the blue-and-red armored Forte).

"Three on one?"

"I gotta see this, after what Star Raider did in a five-on-one training match against my sister, Connecticut, Alabama, Oregon, and Hawaii all at once in a matter of seconds."

"With her speed and power, she deserves the top spot. As for the three-on-one, i'm right behind ya." With that, Wash, wearing steel-colored armor with yellow trim, and North, whose armor matched his sister in color selection but different shades, followed KZ18 to the training room.

"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... round begin." The first scene was York, in tan armor, Wyoming, in white, and Maine, in specially designed white and brown armor, charged at the stationary figure, all clutching battle staffs, only to be knocked aside by the solo opponent with a single swing of hers. Battling the trio was a new Freelancer in black armor, Texas. Tex easily beat the three in the first round, then won again in hand-to-hand combat using moves similar to some of the very complicated moves Star Raider pulled in her five-on-one match.

"Changing floor. Initiate lockdown paint scenario." FILSS said.

"Ugh, i hate that paint."

"Tell me about it. Stings like a dork."

"Turns your armor hard as a rock."

"Star Raider and i wouldn't know." Carolina said randomly. Everyone looked at her (except Star Raider as she knew where Carolina was going with this). "Not bad if you don't let it hit you; Star Raider can stand still and the bursts literally go right through her with that Solid Transparency ability she's got."

"Wait, isn't that a GX technique?" South suddenly blurted. Star Raider nodded, then removed her helmet.

"Man, darn thing's easy to get off but very difficult with all my hair to get on in the first place. Also interferes with Instant Transmission." she then noticed South staring at her. "What?"

"You're not the only one who has to deal with long hair trying to get a helmet on; i have the same problem at times." KZ18 stated, her own helmet off. Without warning the sound of live ammo being fired ripped through the training field. Reginald (Wyoming) and Maine had switched the ammo of their Magnums and were gunning away (literally) at Tex - they kept missing, and with York trying to help the solo Freelancer things got out of hand in a hurry.

"Nano, you and V get ready. I have a feeling a misfired grenade might bean York badly in the face." Anise said into a communicator on her wrist near the Chrono Eclipse Cannon she always had armed on her. Sure enough an explosion occurred, hitting a dazed York hard near the left eye.

"Those idiots!"

"FILSS, we need a medical team on the training floor stat!" Carolina said into a radio unit. As the Freelancers headed to the training floor Nano, wearing sky-blue armor with an opening for her white cat's tail, and V, the green-armored Vanilla H, were tending to the injured York, using their combined healing abilities on the area near his left eye, which looked as if it got the worst of the grenade. Then Dr. Leonard Church, the Director, came in. Washington's attempt at the fact Maine and Wyoming were using live ammo on the training floor was shot down as a compliment to their ingenuity as the enemy wouldn't follow protocol either. After that the Freelancers, with Anise struggling with her helmet, were in the briefing room getting the details on their next mission.

"Man, Brazelica's lucky her armor can automatically appear at will and morph to her hair; i'm still havin' difficulty with the darn helmet."

"Okay, Freelancers, this is a two-team mission. Team A will consist of Star Raider (once she gets her helmet on first, that is), Carolina, Washington, Maine, York, and Jade Slash. Four Seven Niner will pilot your Pelican; your objective is to acquire the package called the Sarcophagus. As for Team B, consisting of North, Connecticut, Wyoming, and Scarbolt, your mission is to gain the code for opening the Sarcophagus from an Insurrection official. Both targets should be hit near-simultaneously so they don't realize they're onto us." With this, once Anise had managed to get her helmet on, they were off. However, things would quickly go haywire for the Freelancers.
