Chapter 2: The death is born part 2/4

Devil Dog: No not even a gunner, he just reloaded the damn thing. Not badass enough for you?

[Speirs, Ruben Field]

'Enemies ahead' signaled Lachlan 'Three'. This had been reoccurring occurrence throughout our little hike through the woods. It was almost impossible to sneak past them, most of the time we could only wait until they passed which was going to be the case this time as we got low to the ground.

I slowly crawled to the edge of the hill to peak over. I could see them below conversing with one another, they weren't well armed and they didn't appear to be going anywhere any time soon. The others we had seen were scattered and unorganized; they like us were just trying to get back to their own. This was a lookout; we were getting closer to the main unit.

Turning to the paratrooper for guidance I was caught off guard by the look on his face. He wasn't looking at White Fang members, he was looking at faunus. I've seen a lot of racist isn't my time but no one brought it to his level. It was almost chilling to be around him when he got like this, thank you mom and dad for being human.

Mom and dad, hadn't thought about those two in a while. They pretty much dropped me in favor of my bitch brother. Oh Alex why can't you paint like your brother? Oh Alex why can't you make good grades like your brother. Then there's my personnel favorite, oh Alex why can't you be as handsome as your brother.

My enlistment didn't help at all. No no no, it was like I told them I was a child molester! But then my brother Kanton goes to signal and he might as well have became a god! I hope the asshole washes out and turns into a good for nothing maybe then my parents will look in my direction. Who knows maybe after this I will a shiny medal. Until then though I will always be Alex the fuck up.

I brought my attention back to Lachlan. He was much older than me but not what I what would call ancient, he had a 'been there done that' vibe to him. I caught his gaze and lifted my eye brows in a 'What now?' The bastard ignored me and resumed his death glares at those below us.

"I think she's really into me" announced a squeaky voice "I've been pretty much throwing myself after for a while and I think it's finally paying off" The tallest tried and failed to suppress his laughter while the one without his mask scratched the back of his head and gave the youth an awkward smile "What?"

"You're talking about Minx right….?" The maskless asked.

The youth's entire frame seemed to droop "You didn't. Please tell me you didn't" he begged.

"I'm sorry man I did-"He didn't get to finish his sentence as the youth jumped on him letting out a primal scream. The tallest didn't lift a finger to break the two up; he seemed contempt with enjoying the show.

Lachlan shook me and gestured to follow him. I nodded and wearily got on my feet. We timed our movements to the fight. When it got loud we moved, when it got quiet we stopped. It felt like we were playing red light green light.

CRUNCH

Being sneaky isn't exactly what I was trained to do! I cringed as I turned my head to look at the party of three. The squeaky one was still unleashing his rage on his Sauvé friend. 'Fuck I need to watch where I step' I chastised myself while turning back to Lachlan. This guy's face looked like something out of a horror movie; the ever present scowl had turned into something along the lines of a human Beowulf.

'Fucking idiot' he mouthed. Everyone makes mistakes you dick. I glared at him until he resumed being a real life ninja. Give me some fancy training and they wouldn't need an army to take care of this mess. They'd be like 'Hey Speirs go kill some shit for us, Hoohah!'. And bitches. I'd have harem of sexy ass bitches everywhere I went coding to my every desire and believe me I have a lot of desire. Dust why didn't I think about this ages ago?!

"You guys finish up I gotta shit" said an alarmingly close voice. 'Shit' I threw myself down next to a fallen hollow tree. I tried to spot Lachlan ahead of me but was unable, I wonder if he would leave me if I was comprised. No don't even think about that. I'm just going to lay here and everything is going to be fine. "Where have you been all my life?" He was right on the other side, I tucked myself is as far as possible.

He plopped his down on the tree 'What?'. The most awfulness of noises was produced from above as the man defiled nature. Kurplunk. OH dust it smells horrible! Kerplunk. What did you eat?!. The manned groaned above as he prepared to loose whatever was left. Please no more….He was having none of it as his ass conducted the most disgusting orchestra to hit Vale, he put so much feeling into his shit music.

'Someone help me!'

[Lachlan, Ruben Field]

"Where is he?" I asked myself. I couldn't leave him to his own devices for even a minute! Was it that hard to follow me? Was I not clear enough?! I couldn't leave a fellow soldier but dust something was seriously wrong with this bloke. He didn't seem at all worried that his buddies were dead or that he was second away from dying. I think that explosion knocked a screw loose. If I had my squad….I'll make sure these faunus pay for that one. The faunus had hunting us down when we touched down before we could properly regroup. It was either stay in that part and die trying to find each other or get our asses of their. Hopefully some of the others got out ok too.

I looked around while I waited for the kid. We had gotten mostly out of the hilly region and was entering the flat ground that Ruben Field was comprised of. This would make laying low a bitch. Without the cover the uneven ground offered we might as well wave at the enemy. If the enemy was digging down we needed to hurry up and get passed this area now. Where are you kid?!

I got down as I heard footsteps coming from behind, my combat knife made a quiet 'shink' as I pulled it from its sheath. They were getting closer and coming towards my position as well. 'One less animal today' I thought as I got ready to lunge at him when he came around the hill.

The White Fang don't wear camouflage.

I'll be dammed, took him long enough. "Did you stop to sightsee?" I asked angrily to the crewman "Or did you get a hangnail?" He held up his hand to me while passing. If he thought that was it then he's even more stupid then I previously thought "Are you going to answer me?". De didn't as he leaned up against a tree.

The boys mouth suddenly threw up everything he's ate the last day or so all over the ground. It was like a never ending faucet of puke. I took few steps back while he continued to retch. He gagged even after there was nothing left to heave.

"Something happen…? I asked still keeping a good distance away from him. Bile dripped from his mouth whilst he looked at the ground with an unreadable expression.

"Someone dropped a moab"

[Speirs, Ruben Field]

I spewed for I don't know how long before I was left complete empty "Someone dropped a moab"

Was it possible to get ptsd from an experience such as that because I firmly believe you can. I could still smell it. Getting the fuck away from horrible producing smell man was my top priority that trumped all others. I'd rather get shot then go through that again!

"How much farther?"

"Look ahead…."

I did as he said "I don't see anything"

"LOOK HARDER" He growled, Sheesh just asking.

OH! I could see it now. This never ending spectrum of trees did have an end! I followed Lachlan towards the tree line. "The FOB shouldn't be far"

"Good, keeping your ass alive is proving to be a job"

Sorry that I'm not some airborne dickhead "Come on Lachy don't be like that!"

He was like that…the WHOLE time
