As Alaska, Texas and I approached the training room, I couldn't help but think about what happened in the cafeteria.
Texas had stopped me from being hurt. Why is that?
Is it because I gave her my food?
Or stopped her from getting hurt by South?
Or is it for another reason?
I couldn't stop looking at her either. Even through her armor, I could still see every curve. She had a perfect hourglass figure, toned legs and arms and a perfectly flat stomach.
"Stop it Monty!" I told myself.
But I couldn't bring myself to do so. She is the toughest Agent in the entire project, armies would fall before she does. Her ego would allow her to ignore people like me. Yet she helped me?
I finally picked my mind out of the gutter, just in time too, as we were about to enter the training floor.
Florida was already there and ready for the simulation to start.
We went to our weapon benches to grab our weapons of choice.
Alaska took a DMR, two grenades and a combat knife.
Florida picked up an Assault Rifle with a laser attachment (moron), and combat knife.
I allowed myself to mix things up a little with a Shotgun, two magnums, two grenades and a tomahawk.
Texas, on the other hand took pretty much everything on her table, dual SMGs, an Assault rifle, a Battle Rifle, two magnums, six Grenades, and two knives.
"Fuck this is gonna hurt..." I said to myself.
"Agents, for this simulation, I have personally come to observe you to test your capabilities, now then, are you all ready?" the Director spoke over the intercom.
"Yes sir!" We all called out in synchronization.
"Okay then, F.I.L.S.S., run the simulation"
"You ready Z?" I asked.
Zeta appeared in front of me looking a bit nervous.
"I guess" She said quietly, sensing her uneasiness, I pumped my shotgun and said "Lets wipe the floor with these fuckers"
Feeling her confidence boost, I rolled my shoulders and cracked my knuckles.
The weapons bench then lowered into the floor and F.I.L.S.S. voice chirped over the intercom.
"Round begins in 3... 2... 1... Begin!"
"Z mark and track their locations at all times, if they get within 5 meters of us then activate my proximity alarm" I said out loud.
"Complying" She replied.
"Tex will be the hardest to eliminate as she can cloak, Omega is a tough A.I., so I wouldn't recommend going against him just yet,we'll wear them down first, then go in for the kill"
"Acknowledged"
I ran behind a pillar and waited for Z to mark them for me. Once she had completed this task. I jumped on top of the pillar and leaped to the one next to it, deliberately making myself an easy target for Florida as he would be the easiest target.
My proximity alarm then went off as someone was behind me, so I back flipped off of the pillar behind no one other than Florida.
"Typical..." I murmured.
I kicked him in the back of the legs, which brought him to the floor and shot him in the face with my shotgun, covering him in lockdown paint.
As I did so I could hear his muffled sigh of annoyance, being the first to go must have been embarrassing for him.
Before I could turn around my proximity alarm went off again this time it was someone to my left.
"Zeta, activate suit jammer" I ordered.
"Done" I heard her say.
I heard someone yell "FUCK!" and I went to investigate.
Turns out the person I jammed was Tex, her cloaking device was starting to fail. Hoping I could get the jump on her, I quickly hid behind a pillar and placed my shotgun on my back, knowing it would be useless against a CQC expert.
I grabbed a magnum and loaded it with a fresh clip.
I held it in both hands and started to silently walk towards Tex, who was still trying to fix her cloaking. As I neared her, I could hear her frustrated groans.
I assumed she had given up as she uncloaked and turned around, much to my despair. This was about to get ugly real fast if I don't act first.
She started to run at me, so I fired three shots, one hit her in the chest, another in the leg and the third missed as she tumbled to the ground.
I was about to fire at her head when two rounds hit me in the ribs and my magnum, which rendered it useless.
Of course I instantly knew this was my sister.
Knowing this would become a fist fight anyway, I threw the gun at Alaska and ran towards her at full sprint, while she was distracted by dodging the firearm I launched at her.
She found her bearings and raised her arms in front of her face to prepare herself for the punch I was about to throw.
When my fist found it's target, Alaska went flying into a pillar, I felt kinda bad, but she did annoy me earlier... And boy was it satisfying.
While she was down, I pulled out my other magnum and shot her multiple times in the face and chest. Eliminating her from the game.
"And then there were two..." I said to Zeta.
"Indeed" She replied.
By the time I had rid my sister out of the game, Tex had recuperated herself and had both fists raised.
She must have scraped most of the paint off or something because there was barely any left on her leg or chest.
She ran towards me and I did the same, when we met, she swept me off of my feet.
I slid across the floor but managed to shoot her in the back before a paint grenade landed next to me.
"Fuck..." Was the only thing I said, as I kicked it away and hoped for the best.
Thankfully, it exploded behind a pillar and the paint barely reached me, just little bits that hardly affected my movement at all.
I could feel Zeta getting weaker from running my armor ability.
"Zeta, deactivate Jammer, I'm gonna need you to be active, track Tex as best you can, look for any shimmer or distortion in the light, outline it on my HUD and increase proximity alarm to ten meters, I need time to prepare for her attacks" I ordered her.
"Complying" She said quite weakly.
I felt bad for pushing her this far, but I was helpless without her.
My alarm went off as Tex was 10 meters behind me and enclosing fast.
I turned around and shot in her direction and an outline of her formed roughly in her location. One shot hit her in one SMG as she started firing the other and I rolled to the side to avoid the blasts.
I was surprised how long Omega can keep up her cloaking device at the speed she was moving.
The outline on my HUD showed that she was raising her arm for a punch, instead of letting it hit me, I grabbed her arm and attempted to swing her back in the direction she came from.
It backfired horribly as she countered it and jumped behind me, disarming me of my shotgun and tomahawk.
The tomahawk had a blunt end with paint bags, designed to explode when the tomahawk hits someone.
I had little time to react as said object came down on top of me, just in time though, I grabbed the weapon, threw it to the floor and headbutted Tex away.
"Zeta, deactivate advanced HUD and proximity alarm and maximize suit jammer" I yelled.
"Affirmative" She said.
I could physically feel how worn out she was.
I drew back my fist and punched Tex in the chest so hard, it knocked her off of her feet and lodged her inside one of the pillars that hadn't been destroyed already.
I corrected my stance and waited for the dust to clear.
The deadly form of Tex stepped into view, Omega hovering by her shoulder.
They simultaneously cracked their knuckles and neck.
I was pretty much done for now.
She ran towards me and punched me in the face and with a CRACK!, she sent me flying backwards onto the floor.
She then slowly approached me, pulled out one of her magnums and shot me in the crotch and face. Multiple times. Ending the game.
"Shit..." I said in defeat, waiting for the technicians to wash the paint of of me.
After two minutes of waiting for them to get rid of the paint, I finally got up and started walking towards the exit.
"How you feeling Z?" I asked.
"Tired, very tired" She replied quietly.
"Log off, we've got another training match in three hours" I told her.
She gave a sigh of relief and logged off.
The next training session won't be as hard as this one.
"Good game Monty" Tex called out from behind me. Which made my heart skip a beat.
"Huh? Oh yeah, uh... good game Tex" I said a little hesitantly.
Tex gave me a funny look.
"You feeling okay? You're a little hesitant" She asked, still giving me the look.
Thankfully, I still had my helmet on, otherwise she would have seen the slight redness in my cheeks.
"Yeah it's just... I uh... got a bit of a headache from when you punched me..." I lied. Praying she wouldn't question me.
"Oh, okay, sorry about that" She said with a small smile.
She then turned and starting walking away.
I felt hungry again. After that training match I gained quite the appetite.
"Hey Tex!" I called out to her.
"Yeah?" She replied.
"Do you wanna get something to eat? Maybe?" I asked a little desperately.
"Sure, why the hell not?" She said in a more friendly manner.
She was a little more outgoing then I expected.
"I could do with another bacon sandwich, what about you?" She said in a mocking tone.
We both laughed and headed for the café.
A.N SURPRISE! Two chapters in two days, I wrote this one straight away, after I released the second chapter, however, I didn't stay up too late for this one.
