Sorry I have been off on posting chapters. nyways here is the new chapter. I shortened it this time because the first one was just too long. Anyways enjoy and don't forget to review. Also a shout out to my first reviewer Jonsybites. Thanks for the review.
*Z / Alex *
I know that I was trying to push Johnny a little far but we are going to war tomorrow so this might be our only chance. Plus it has been a while since I have had a BF so I am sort of craving him. I'm eighteen and I have only dated once before this. That would be bad if I hadn't been here for five years. "Hey Z whats up?" Andrew asked. I talked to him some times when I go for walks like I am right now.
"Nothing much. Just spending my last day here alone." I said.
"Your leaving?" He asked.
"Yeah I am going to go and fight in the war with my uncle Marcus tomorrow." I said.
"Well good luck with that then. Now team Gamma will get to be number one like Angela said." Andrew said. He was the leader of team Gamma which was the second best team. "I gotta go to the practice range so I'll see you later maybe." Andrew said. He then left. Man I am going to miss some of the people here.
I walked to the lounge where everybody goes to just kick back and relax. I never really come here because I spend most of my time training but once a week Johnny and Jimmy force me down here to just relax with them. "Hey Z way to finally get to leave this place." Jessica said as I passed by her.
"Thanks but there are somethings that I am going to miss about here." I said as I grabbed a coffee from the vending machine. I saw Jimmy come into the lounge with Angela.
I could over hear them talking as I drank my coffee. "Why do you have to leave when we are dating again though?" Angela asked him.
"I have to stay with my team. I'll keep in touch with you though. Don't worry." Jimmy said to her. I saw him kiss her. I shook my head shamefully at how weak he is when it comes to love.
I finished my coffee and threw out the cup. I walked over to Jimmy and Angela. "Well hello Jimmy. Might I ask why you are telling lies to Angela?" I asked as I sat down.
Jimmy glared at me. "What do you mean Z?" Angela asked.
"We are going to be going down in the Hallows so that means no contact with the outer world." I said.
"Jimmy you promised we would stay in contact." Angela whined.
"We will. I'll figure out a way to send you letters." Jimmy said. I left them to talk and walked out into the hallway. I collided with Marcus when I turned the corner.
"Hey Alex. You enjoying your last day?" Marcus asked.
"Yeah. I just want to go and get my mom and dad back first." I said.
"I know. We are going to find them before anything happens. Don't worry." Marcus said as he tussled my hair. I hate it when people do that.
"Didn't the same thing happen to Dom's wife and then he had to Euthanize her?" I asked. "You guys got to her to late and I don't want that to happen to my parents." I said.
"We wont let that happen. Trust me." Marcus said.
"I hope not. I'm going to go and train a little so I'll see you later." I said. I then continued to walk down the hall towards my dorm. I walked into my dorm and found Johnny was already done training. "You finished your training quick." I said.
"Yeah I didn't want to spend all day training." Johnny said.
"I was going to go and train a little in the arena. You want to come?" I asked.
"Sure but only if you consider it a date." Johnny said as he grinned at me.
"You know that when we leave tomorrow you aren't going to see my kind side anymore for a long time." I said as we walked down the hall.
"Yeah I know." B said.
He put his arm around me. "What are you doing?" I asked.
"Taking advantage of the time we have together before we go to war." Johnny said. We walked into the arena.
"Good evening Alex and Johnny. What would you like to practice today?" the Secretary asked us.
"Hand-to-hand combat." I said.
"Okay go on in then and I will set up the robots." the secretary said. We walked in.
"So after this you want to go back to the dorm. Hopefully we can have some time alone before we leave tomorrow." Johnny said.
"Remember that when I am practicing or we are out fighting the locus I am not going to be nice." I said as I loaded my Lancer and put on my mask.
"Alright then tell me afterwards." Johnny said. He is becoming a little to needy for me.
"Are you ready?" the announcer asked.
"Affirmative." I said. The buzzer went off and the Mega-bot came into the room.
"This will be easy." Johnny said.
"That is because it is only a robot." I said. The robots eyes began to glow red. "Move now!" I said as I realized what it was about to move. I shoved Johnny out of the way and a split second later a laser cut through the air.
"What the hell! Since when did they do that?" Johnny asked as he got up.
"They have always done that. We always just take them down to quickly to know that." I said. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small frag grenade. "I am glad I decided to bring this." I said.
"You cant throw that in here Z. Its way to dangerous." Johnny said as he ducked behind a wall.
"I'm not going to throw it. I am going to tag the robot like I did that Brumak." I said.
"How are you going to do that when it is shooting at us?" B asked.
"You are going to launch me at the robot." I said.
"Okay then lets go." B said. We ran out into the middle of the room and Johnny lifted me. He threw me at the robot and I landed on its shoulder. I planted the grenade on its head.
"Heads up." I said. I jumped off of the robot and Johnny caught me before I hit the ground. We ran fast before the robot exploded. It did a split second after we got away.
"Wow that was way too close." B said.
"Well done Alpha squad. Please exit the arena so that we can remove the robot." the announcer said. Johnny and I left the arena and began to head back to the dorm.
"I wonder if J is still mad at me." I said as we walked down the hall.
"Why? What did you do?" Johnny asked.
"I told Angela that he wont be able to stay in contact with her because we are going to be in the hallows." I said.
"I'm guessing that they are dating again." Johnny said.
"Yeah. You know that they date on and off all the time." I said as we walked into our dorm. I put my Lancer down and laid down on my bed.
Johnny came over to me and pressed his lips to mine. I parted my lips for him. We made out for a few minutes until J came into the room. "Oh now look at this. You two just cant get enough of each other." J said.
"Shut the hell up J." I said as I sat up.
"Go spend time with Angela so we can spend our time alone." Johnny said as he sat up beside me.
"Cant her team is training right now." J said.
"Well go train too. You need it." I said.
"No I don't but I can take a hint so fine. I'll leave but only for a little bit since this is my room too." J said. He left and I laid back down.
*B / Johnny *
I am so glad that I am dating Alex now. I have never been happier now that I am finally with her. Z put her arms around my neck and pulled me into a kiss. "I am going to miss this when we have to leave tomorrow." I said.
Z nuzzled her face into my chest. "Me too but I want to slice some locus." She said.
"I know." I said as I laid down next to her. She sat up and laid back down on my chest. "What are you doing?" I asked. She pressed her lips to mine and I could feel my cheeks getting warm.
Alex looked at her watch. "Damn we should stop now. We have to get up early tomorrow." Z said as she got off of my. I groaned when she accidentally hit me in the groin. "Sorry." She said.
"Its alright you didn't mean to." I said as I sat up. I kissed Z hard on the lips.
"We should get some rest for tomorrow." Z said. I got up and went over to my bed.
"Are you two done making out?" Jimmy asked as he came into the room.
"What do you think?" I asked sarcastically.
"I'm going to sleep and you two should also." Z said as she got under her covers. I laid down on my bed and fell asleep. I had an amazing dream of which I am not telling what it was about.
*Z / Alex *
I am having a nightmare I think. I'm alone and rushing to get to my parents. I have to get to them before the light-mass bomb detonates. I find them but then the bomb detonates. I woke up with a start and fell off my bed making a loud crash. "Uh whats going on?" J asked as he turned on the light. I stood up and sat down on my bed.
"N...nothing. I just fell off my bed." I said as I laid down.
"This is the second time that you have done this." J said. He turned the lights off. I could hear someone walking over to me.
"Z are you okay?" B asked.
"Yeah I'm fine B." I said as I laid back down.
"Are you sure because this is the second time that you have done this." Johnny said as he sat down on my bed.
"I'm sure. It was just a nightmare." I said. Johnny laid down next to me.
"Do you want to tell me what it was about?" Johnny asked.
"We should go back to sleep." I said as I closed my eyes. I felt Johnny get off my bed.
"Good night then Z." Johnny said. I feel bad for not telling him. I sat up and grabbed me Lancer and other gear.
I am going to go and train a little. I put my gear on and went out of our room. I went to the courtyard first. "Well now what are you doing up so early?" Marcus asked. He was already in the court yard.
"I had a nightmare that I couldn't save my parents. I decided to get some fresh air and then go and train." I said as I sat down on a bench.
"You shouldn't train when we have to leave soon. I told you not to worry so much about your parents." Marcus said.
"Where is Dom?" I asked.
"Watching out for more Locus back at the APC." Marcus said.
"How soon until we leave?" I asked.
"In about an hour. You should go and get your team ready to leave." Marcus said. I stood up and began to walk back to my dorm. I turned the corner only to run into B and J.
"Well I was just coming to get you two. We are leaving now so I hope you two are ready to go." I said.
"I am and soo is your little boyfriend here." J said.
"We aren't dating anymore after we leave this school. Now come on we have to go and get Marcus. Then we will go to the APC." I said as we began to walk towards the courtyard.
We got to the courtyard and Marcus and the commander were waiting for us. "Are you all ready to go?" Commander asked.
"Yes sir." I said.
"Then you may leave with your uncle Marcus. We are glad to have had such a great working team as yours." Commander said as he handed me a small box. I opened it and it was a picture of my team when we had first become number one. Beside it were three small medals.
"Thank you sir." I said as I put the box in my bag.
"Good luck on finding your parents." Commander said as we left the courtyard.
"How far do we have to go until we get to the APC?" Jimmy asked.
"A ways to go. We didn't want to park it close to the school." Marcus said as we walked past the area where we had destroyed the horde of Locus.
"Are we going directly to the Hallows?" I asked.
"No we have to stop off and get supplies first. Then we will take a Assault Derrick to land-down." Marcus said.
"Why land-down?" B asked.
"It is the only safe area where we can go down." Marcus said. I could see the APC in the distance.
"I thought that Land down was too dangerous to reach now that Jacinto was sunk." I said.
"No in fact it is pretty much clear of Locus." Marcus said. We all felt the ground begin to shake violently. "Emergence hole in coming. Prepare to fight." Marcus said.
"I'm always ready to fight." I said as I revved my chainsaw. A large hole opened up in front of us. I watched as Locus came charging at us out of the hole. I sliced through a Kantus before it even had a chance to fight back.
"Good job now there wont be any way for them to get revived." Marcus said. I watched as B sliced through a drone. Damn he is hot when he is fighting off locus. Ahh focus Z focus. I shot down a Grenadier. It took a few minutes but we finally killed all the Locus.
"Way to go guys." I said as I reloaded my Lancer.
"Come on we should go before more Locus come." Marcus said. We began to walk towards the APC again.
"Hey what took you guys so long?" Dom asked us as we got to the APC.
"We had to fight off some Locus." Johnny said.
"Did they come through a emergence hole?" Dom asked.
"Yeah but we dealt with them fast." J said.
"Alright well lets get going. We have a long drive." Dom said as we walked into the APC.
I sat down and began to clean the blood off of my Lancer. Johnny sat down next to me. "We have some time to waste now." He said as he put his arm around me.
I took his arm off of me. "We are still at chance of running into Locus though." I said.
Jimmy and Marcus went out onto the deck so we were alone. Dom started the APC because I could here the engine start. "Come on Z you gotta loosen up." Johnny said.
"There is no time for that when my parents are out there possible being tortured by the Locus." I said angrily. I stood up but Johnny grabbed me by the arm and pulled me back down.
"Alex I'm sorry." Johnny said. "I hadn't realized really how much you are worrying about your parents but don't worry. We'll save them." He said.
"Johnny if you mind I need some time to myself." I said. Johnny stood up and went out onto the deck. I laid my head back and closed my eyes. A few minutes later I was asleep.
*B / Johnny *
Man what is going on with Z? Why is she so worried all of a sudden. "We have a while to go until we even get to the bridge that crosses us over to the mainland." Marcus said.
"I'm going to go and check on Z really quick." I said.
"Going to go and make out with her again?" Jimmy asked.
"Fuck you J." I said. I went back inside and saw Z was asleep. I sat down next to her and moved her hair out of her eyes. I noticed her forehead was beading with sweat. Her eyes flew open and she bolted up. "Woah calm down Z its just me." I said.
She sat back down. "Sorry. I just keep having nightmares a lot. Pretty much whenever I go to sleep now." Alex said. She rested her head on my shoulder.
"What about?" I asked.
"Don't worry about it." Z said.
"Okay Z how do you suppose we are going to have a working relationship when you are hiding things from me?" I asked as I stood up.
"We aren't supposed to have relationship like this. We have to worry about fighting off the Locus." Alex said.
"That is all you care about. Don't you care about anything else?" I asked angrily.
I looked back at Z and noticed she was surprised by me getting mad. "You have no right to talk to a commanding officer like that." Z said as she stood up.
"You aren't my commanding officer anymore. Marcus is." I said with a smirk.
"You know what B. You can forget about us having a relationship anymore. We are through." Z said. I felt like my heart was going to burst from the pain of this.
"Z..." I was cut off when Alex hit me hard in the stomach knocking the air out of me.
"Fuck off. I'm going solo from now on."Alex said. I watched her go out onto the deck. Man I messed up big time.
I sat down and laid my head back. "Man what the hell did you do to Z?" Jimmy asked as he came over to me.
"I didn't do anything." I said.
"Dude she is fucking pissed off right now because of you. She is saying that she is going to go and fight on her own with out us." Jimmy said.
"Too bad. I would actually like that but she cant do that." I said as I closed my eyes.
"Dude what the hell is your problem? You never get mad at Z and now you get mad at her when we leave GA." J said.
"Fuck off J this is none of your business." I said. J left and I began to clean my Lancer.
A few minutes later the APC stopped suddenly. "Yo B you might want to get out here." J called into me. I ran out to see a Corpser coming right at us.
"Well come on then lets go and fight it." I said as I loaded my Lancer.
"We sort of need the whole team to do that and someone refuses to fight alongside you." Marcus said as he pointed back at Z who was relaxing casually next to the turret.
"I don't need a team to fight. I was number one at GA so I can take down a Corpser." Z said as she aimed the turret towards the Corpser.
"Z you need a team to fight something like that." Dom said.
Alex fired the Turret. "Just drive and I will get us through this." Z said as she pulled her mask down. Man she really is mad.
Dom went back to driving and Z fired at the Corpser. Marcus, Jimmy and I also fired at the Corpser. We all killed it in a few minutes. "Woo man what a rush from killing Corpsers." J said. I watched Z go back inside and I went in to talk to her.
"Hey Alex can we talk?" I asked.
"Go to hell jack ass. I don't want to talk to some rook like you." Alex said. Man she always uses Rook as an insult for me.
Jack floated into the room. I laughed. I think that when she said Jack ass he thought that she was calling him. "Way to call Jack." I said.
"Go back to your compartment Jack." Z said as she stood up.
Jack left the room and we were alone again. "Z I'm sorry that I got mad at you." I said.
"You have no idea what I am going through right now." Alex said.
"I know and I'm sorry." I said.
"Its too late for that. I have already decided that the moment we hit land-down I am going off on my own. I am going to go and save my parents." Alex said.
"Alex you cant. You would get slaughtered if you go out there alone." I said.
"I'm the best damn gear in that whole damn school so I think I can handle the Locus." Alex said as she went into the engine room.
"Alex I cant let you go out there alone. That would be a suicide mission." I said as I followed her.
"I don't care. Anything would be better than having to put up with you." Alex said. Man that one really hurt.
"You know what. Fine then go out there and get yourself killed." I said while trying to hold back my tears.
"I'm a Fenix. I am willing to do anything for my family and for my world. I am going to demolish anything that comes in my way." Z said as she leaned up against a wall. I felt a tear slip out of my eye lid and down my cheek. I quickly wiped it away.
"Fine. You don't need anyone then I'm going to go and get a new team. One where I don't have to deal with someone who thinks that she is the best Gear ever when she isn't." I said. I then left.
*Z / Alexandria Fenix *
"I don't think I know that I am the best." I called after him. I went out into the main room and saw that B was leaning against a wall and tears were streaming down his face. Man now I feel terrible. B noticed me and quickly wiped away his tears.
I walked over to him and put my hand on his face. I kissed him lightly on the lips. "Z you don't realize how much I really care about you." B said as he pressed his forehead to mine.
"I do but I am just a little distraught right now. I mean I have a lot on my mind right now." I said as I sat down. B sat down next to me.
"I know and I'm not helping much by acting this way." B said.
"Its not your fault Johnny." I said. I stood up and sat back down on his lap. I kissed him hard. "I need to learn to loosen up a little." I said.
"Yeah you kinda do but don't worry. I'll help you." Johnny said. I looked Johnny deeply in the eyes and I could see lust in his eyes. He kissed me lightly. I stood up and directed him towards the engine room.
"Okay Alex what are you doing?" Johnny asked as we got into the engine room.
"Getting you somewhere where I know that we will have some privacy." I said as I closed the door.
I went over to Johnny and kissed him hard on the lips. We began to make out. I put my back to the wall so I would have more support. "Hold on what if we have to deal with more Locus?" Johnny asked.
"Don't worry I doubt that we will have to." I said. I sat down on the floor and Johnny sat down in front of me.
"What if they come looking for us?" Johnny asked.
"They wont. Now stop worrying." I said. I noticed that Johnny had a hard on for me already. I pressed my lips to his hard and he fell back but caught his balance. I fell on top of him. He put his arms around my waist and kissed me hard.
"I wish we could do stuff like this all the time." Johnny said. I began to play with his zipper.
"We have a duty to kill the Locus." I said.
"I know but when we have free time can we still do stuff like this like you promised?" Johnny asked.
"Sure." I said. We made out for a few minutes until Jimmy came and found us.
"Well I see you two made up." Jimmy said as he came into the engine room.
Johnny was on top of me now. "What do you want J?" I asked.
"We are coming up to the bridge now and I wanted to see if you guys wanted to see the sight." J said.
Johnny got off of me and helped me up. "Do you want to go and see it?" He asked.
"Sure." I said. We left the engine room and went out onto the deck. I could see the bridge coming up. "Okay now what did you want us to see?" I asked J.
"Nothing really except the cross out of the island. Also I just wanted to interrupt you two." J said. I punched him hard on the arm.
"Dumb ass." I said. "Hey where is Marcus?" I asked.
"In the steering room with Dom." J said as he rubbed his arm.
"Okay. How long do we have until we get to where ever we are going?" B asked.
J shrugged. "Beats me. Ask Marcus or Dom." J said.
I watched as we came up onto the bridge. I could see land in the distance. "I wonder why they didn't just get a King Raven to pick us up." I said to myself as I leaned up against the railing.
"They were probably all taken." Jimmy said.
"There are a lot of Ravens so I doubt that." Johnny said.
I heard a light ticking noise in the distance. "Do you guys here that?" I asked.
I heard it get louder and then I knew what it was. "Tickers dead ahead." Jimmy said as he aimed his Lancer.
"They are going to try and blow out the bridge with us on it." I said as I ran back inside and grabbed my Lancer.
Nor as long of a chapter this time so I don't have to do a long summery. Z and Johnny had a fight already. That is bad for a new relationship. What are they going to do about the Tickers that are up ahead? More chapters coming as soon as possible. Don't forget to REVIEW!
