In the main room of the blue base, the blue team surrounds their mighty commander, AKA Sergeant Laxus Dreyar, clad in blue and yellow armor.
There are six members of the blue team in total: Gajeel Redfox, the other dragon dressed in blue and gray armor; Juvia Lockser, the last member of the team to join wearing standard blue armor; Mirajane Strauss, Laxus's unofficial second-in-command, known as the 'the Demon' for a reason, wearing dark blue armor; Cana Alberona, who has been at the base the longest, next to Laxus, dressed in light blue armor; and Elfman Strauss, Mirajane's little brother the powerhouse, and in teal armor.
"So, what bullshit from command do we have today?" Cana asks before Laxus can open his mouth.
"I'll get to that," he replies in a low voice. "First off, it appears that Red Team got a new recruit, in yellow armor. That means that the odds for them are getting better."
"I think you forgot that they have Erza Scarlet leading their team. She probably is worth three soldiers, so they're ahead of us," Mira points out. Mira and Erza have had a rivalry since training, and though it seems to have mellowed out, it really hasn't.
"I'm worth at least two soldiers," Gajeel boasts, Pantherlily still standing on his shoulder.
"True, you do have that AI in you," Mira replies. Gajeel grumbles something while Cana high-fives her.
"Well, whatever," Laxus tries to pretend that doesn't happen. "We'll need to be on alert in case Erza decides to make a move now that they have a larger force, but that's not important at the moment. What is important is that Blue Command has decided to send in a new weapon."
"Will it work?" Cana asks.
"The last weapon they sent would be working just fine," Laxus retorts. "If it included instructions."
"Did you ask for instructions this time?" Mira questions.
"From what it sounds like it's already in one piece," Laxus says.
"But it's just what it sounds like," Mira points out.
"It's a vehicle anyway so Gajeel will be able to assemble it," Laxus concludes.
"Why couldn't Gajeel build the last weapon we got?" Cana asks.
"Because I ain't got a degree in robotics," Gajeel answers. "An' anyway, it looks better on my wall than it would look in the field."
Juvia sighs and presses her hand to her helmet, "Gajeel that thing is hideous."
"Yer not even in my room, so who cares?" Gajeel retorts.
"Can we please stop bickering?" Laxus raises his voice, and everyone stops. "Thank you. The weapon will arrive by air drop, anywhere from today to two weeks, so be alert. With this, we'll have an advantage over the Reds. Any questions?"
As Laxus stops, the whistle of a falling object can be heard growing, until loud thud slams against the ground causing the base to shake. The Blue soldiers manage to keep their balance, and as it settles they look around.
"I think our weapon came," Mira informs Laxus.
"No shit," Gajeel grumbles. Mira hits him in the back of the head with her gun.
"Let's go look at it," Laxus commands. He leads the Blue Team to the front of the base, where their new weapon is sitting in all its metallic glory. They're all stunned by the massive size of it.
Gajeel speaks first, "Holy fuckin shit."
