They all thought it would be peaceful morning, no battle until the next day and everything was quiet.

Unfortunately for the other eight mercenaries, Soldiers had a master plan to make everyone's morning a loud annoyance.

With his shovel at his side and a megaphone that he found in his room in hand, he was quick to use it.

And by use it, he yelled into the thing while banging on the doors with his shovel.

Waking up everyone with his loud voice.

Scout groaned and pulled his pillow over his head, Engineer simply looked up from his pancake making in the kitchen before looking back down.

"LETS GO LETS GO!"

Spy sighed and stood up from his chair, walking to the door and twisting the handle, walking out, being woken up early in the morning was annoying especially on ceasefire.

By the time he made it to the kitchen, everyone was there except for Sniper and Scout.

"Hey Spah" Engineer placed some finished pancakes on the table. "Want some fresh made pancakes?"

Spy hummed in reply and shook his head. "Non, I am not interested" he replied. "I will eat later" he turned and walked out of the room just as Scout bounded in. "Oh hey!" He said sitting down at one of the seats. "Pancakes!"

"There's some blueberry ones if ya want any Scout" Engineer suggest, the boy gave him a thumbs up and Engineer nodded.

Engineer put some blueberry pancakes onto a plate and placed them in front of the runner.

"Thanks Engie!"

"Your welcome pardner"

Sniper wondered in, sluggishly walking to the nearby coffee maker to make some coffee.

Engineer greeted him and turned back to the stove, continuing with the pancake making.

"Hey" Sniper sat down at the table next to Scout. "Gonna head out and explore 'round the base, anyone wanna come?"

"Sure!" Scout piped up. "Beats just staying around all day inside" he sat up.

Engineer looked over. "Ah'll come, might as well get used to this place 'fore the battle" he finished with the last pancakes.

"I will come to!" Soldier said, then he went back to eating his stack of pancakes.

"Anyone else?"

No reply, Sniper shrugged and sipped his coffees then he stood up. "Alroight, let's go"

"Now?" Engineer raised an eyebrow, he only got a nod from the Australian. "Alrighty than, let's go" he stood up from his chair with Scout.

Soldier took a moment before following them out the door and down the hall.

Once he made it outside he walked quickly to catch up with them, he looked around and suddenly felt... uneasy.

Soldier kept a straight face as they walked through the forest, they would occasionally seeing a deer or a fox, maybe a wolf or two nearby but none of the wildlife seemed to be interested in them, yet at least.

Sniper enjoyed the nature around him, though it was a bit chilly, but other than that it wasn't cold at all, the trees were a fair reason apart but most parts of the forest was dense and hard to get through without scraping an arm or a leg on a branch or something.

"Well lookie here" Engineer pushed apart some bushes. "There's a lake here, pretty big one to"

Scout pushed past him to see what he was talking about. "It's huge!" He shouted, running down to the sand covered beach.

Sniper walked over and took in the view of the lake it wasn't huge or big it was ginormous, he could hardly see the other side of the lake, it was wide and surely seemed deep, this was only four miles from their base as well.

Scout walked down and grabbed a flat rock, he got into postition before tossing it into the water, a bit disappointed when it only skipped two times before sinking below the surface.

"Beautiful" Engineer said, fixing his goggles with a smile. "Ain't is Solly?" When he didn't get a reply from the American he looked over. "Soldier?"

Soldiers snapped out of his thoughts and looked over. "Yes Engie?" He asked.

"Somethin' wrong?"

"No" Soldiers looked over at the water. "Nothing is wrong maggot, I was just thinking"

"That's a surprise" Scout said, jumping on to a rock above the water, he balanced himself and looked over. "You never think!"

Soldier glared at him. "I do think!" He said. "How do you think I come up with winning strategies?!"

"Uh" Scout jumped to another rock and looked down. "You don't?"

That got Soldier scowling but he didn't do anything, maybe he'd make Scout do some push-ups when they go back to base. Two hundred sounded like a reasonable amount.

That's when he heard a yelp, looking up just in time he saw Scout slip and fall into the freezing water. "Geez"

Sniper snorted and stood up from the log he was sitting on while Engineer laughed a bit. "Nice goin' pardner" he said.

"Not funny" Scout stood up, he noticed the water was about up to his waist, and it was clear enough to see to the bottom, though the middle of the lake was to deep and dark to see what was down there.

"Get out of the water ya mongrel" Sniper said, be checked the time, unfortunately it was only eight in the morning still. "Ya might catch a bloody cold"

Scout scoff and started to waddle forward. It was pretty hard to walk in water, that's when he felt something latch onto his foot. "What the..." It was just seaweed.

Scout pulled his foot away roughly and got out of the water just as a alligator swam by right where he just was.
