Third Person's View
It's been a few years for Finn and the Khan family. And over their years of training together it's been rough. Vash their smiling and laughter filled brother… he fell ill. Vash had a blood weakness and slowly over time his blood cells became more and more damaged. The others couldn't believe that they lost a member of their family so soon. Vash told them in his last hour, "Guy's give those Fang's hell… the Khan's will remind them to be afraid right… right"? As Vash's voices became softer than a whisper Finn gripped Vash's hand and spoke. Finn, "Vash the Khan's will never forget you and we will kill them. The first on I kill I will carve your name into their chest… sleep with peace my brother… sleep with peace".
After Vash's pacing Finn made a pair of dog tags. On one side it had read the Khan family Vash's name had a crossed next to it. This tag had everyone of his family members name. The other tag had Finn's name and his belief on it. Finn washed his thumb over the phrase that he had read from an old book of faith. Finn, "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides". Brother Blood, "Finn I know you are strong now show your family you are strong. You have a new member joining your family so I hope you will welcome her kindly".
Later that day Finn and the Khan's welcomed Luca into their family. She was around nine years old with light brown skin and black hair. Finn welcomed her into the Khan Family and over time they got straight into training. With Captain James continuing there training The Khan's were at the top of their game. Now Finn was at the age of ten and James made him the leader of the Family. No one argued Finn was there for them all and he knew what to say and do to keep them going. Smiling at his work they were all getting ready for their first training exercise outside of the West guilds walls. It would be a search and destroy drill in the forest four and a half miles from the Guild.
Walking the miles they had their basic field packs small camouflaged green and other tints of green. The pack had their rifle kits inside, with a container of water, a blanket to hide them in the tree for when they sleep, and lastly space to store maps and food. With the two hour walk to get to the forest over Captain James handed Finn the MRE's and the primary maps. James, "Everyone I'll be wait on the far side of the forest good luck". With that James took a different route leaving the kids on their own. Finn passed out the food rations and said, "Ok Khan's we have a forest inside enemy terrain. So strap on your bulletproof vests, sort out your weapons, and get ready to be take the walk".
With that the kids slipped into their vest and placed a pressure plate underneath their vest. The kids then pulled out their weapons kit and started the assembly process. With their weapons done Finn was happy at how fast his Family set up the AK-74u's and looked ready to take on anyone. Slipping on their helmets Finn opened the map and looked over the enemy lookouts. Finn, "Ok we have to get here it's a three hour walk. But due to enemy spotter we have to take the long route along the riverside. After two miles we cut into the forest and rest in these tree lines. When the first patrol passed we crawl pass them and make it to the primary zone. Once inside there we have one hour to find a good spot and take out our target. With the target dead we will need a divergence. That where Pete, Luca, and Sarah come in, you three will have placed charges along this side road. They'll think were pressing the attack but it will give us time to fall back.
"Once we get far enough Jessica and I will set off our charges at the far side and give you time to get to the river bed. Once we met back together we will move to the opposite end for our extraction. Sure this is an exercise with holo-dummies and blank rounds. But that doesn't mean we can't have fun while killing said dummies. Now lets get moving and kill so dummies". With their cheers the kids began their new walk to the river and under the watch of their leader Finn they were excited to enter the fight.
Fionna's View
Marshall told me it was going to be cold but not this cold. "Marshall how much farther until we get there"? Marshall, "Relax babe we're almost there". "Call me babe again and I'll show you why the Earn of Roots picked me". Marshall floated closer to me saying, "No need for violence Fio beside we're almost there. I can't wait until you met Betty. Most call her crazy but she's really nice when you get to know her". It took us another half an hour to find Betty's home. It looked like just another mountain of ice and snow. But Marshall pushed a panel on the side to have the ice slid into the ground.
Walking inside it was still cold but less cold then outside. Looking around I saw tons of penguins each once squawking and looking so cute. Marshall led the way up some stairs to see a woman with light blue skin holding a penguin in her arms. Marshall, "Hey Betty glad to se you and Gunter are doing ok". Betty snickered wickedly to say, "Good to see you little Marsh and I see you brought a friend". "Hi I'm Fionna Marshall's girlfriend it's nice to finally met you". Betty, "Well most know me as the evil queen of ice. But after word got out that I saved Marshall from one of my snowstorms people have been singing a new tune.
"But its good to meet you Fionna. However Marshall I know you why did it take you so long to introduce me"? Marshall scratched his head sheepishly saying, "Well mom has been trying to make me stay close to home. So I haven't been able to leave the reign for a while. Sorry Betty really". Betty snickered saying, "See that Fionna you can get any guy to spill their guts when you get serious. So what's is it that brought you here out of the blue"? Marshall, "Fionna is an Earn and seeing as you and… um you know who use to work with Earns. I was thinking you could teach Fionna to be unlock its full potential".
Betty smiled saying, "Sure I'll help Fionna I'm happy to have some girl time after so long. Gunter's good company but I just wonder about him some times. Still Marshall that means that no boys can stay while we train". Marshall, "What… come on why not"? Punching his arm I said, "Relax tough guy I'll be fine. I see you later at my place. Remember Cake wanted to talk to you about the Ranicorn guy. She's really interested in him". Marshall sighing and said he was ok with it. Floating over to me he kissed me on the lips. After getting punched a few times he stopped trying to kiss me on the lips.
After Marshall left Betty walked me into a side room with tons of ice dummies and ice based weapons. Betty, "Fionna how old are you now"? "I'm fourteen". Betty, "Ok your should be able to handle the training exercises I have in mind. But first lets talk I want to know what little Marshall has been up to since I last saw him". Smiling we started to gossip and talk about how life in OOO has been going.
Finn's View
As we walked to the river it was clear that night was on its way so we need to move fast. I started to whistle a happy simple tone so my Khan's wouldn't notice I was picking up the pace. As my fellow khan's started to whistle behind me I smiled at how much fun we were having. Sure it was an assignment for us to kill but I wanted to keep Vash alive. So this would become our new tradition in his memory. Walking into the knee high water I was surprised that the water was at a nice temperature. Making our way through we walked until we found the right spot. "Ok Khan's I want everyone to pair off with a partner and climb a tree. I'll take first watch, Luca will switch with me in four hours, and then Jessica will be next.
"When five o'clock hits Jessica will tell us. Then we'll have to move to the road watch for the patrols. Once it passes we make our move and set up before nine o'clock hits". Nodding everyone else climbed a tree and I slipped on a gully suite from in my pack and sat facing the next tree line. Changing out the barrel and scope of my AK. Covering my self with two bushes that were close by I began my watch. "No one kills a Khan without a fight". With that the hours slipped by so fast I made the change with Luca and took the spot she had in the tree. After a few minutes of making sure she was covered well I relaxed and went off to sleep.
Feeling a brush at my foot I turned to find Jessica using a branch to nudge me awake. Nodding my head I shook Pete awake. With everyone on the ground we began our sneaky tactic. As we reached the road we lied in wait to see the first patrol of holo-dummies walk past us a few meters away. Giving the signal we crouch walked our way to the other side. Hidden in the foliaged I pulled the map so show the other were they should be. "Ok you three you have to have the charges set before you hear Jessica or me take the shot. Once you do your charges go off. Lay down fire and allow us to slip back past to the opposite side of their camp. Once you hear us shooting with our charges going off. You fall back and met us at the rivers end and we get out before they can get to us".
Nodding at my plan we set off to get to our positions. Jessica and I had the slightly more challenging role. We had to get so close to being seen by our enemies that we were still hidden. Spotting a small run off water gutter we slipped in and worked our way to the opposite side. But one dummy stopped right there after its patrol left it. A few minutes go by but it was clear this dummy wasn't leaving. "Get as low into the water as possible… throw a rock to the other side of the gutter. Then I'll take him". Nodding see slipped further into the water and after the rock threw the dummy looked over the edge to checkout what was happening.
But all he found was me, quickly covering its mouth and sending a combat knife right into its neck. "Shut up". I told the dummy as I ended its life and pulled its body into the water. Using some rocks to keep in out of sight under the water. We then made our way to our destination, and pulled some bushes over our bodies and waited. Some time later we saw the large patrol with our target in the middle. "Jessica center figure and the one on its right. They're both wearing the same thing so we need to take them both". Jessica, "I don't have a shot yet".
"Don't worry once they enter the tent we take them. These dummies may not be real… but they'll be the first to show our Guild the skills of the Khan family". Smiling at my words we waited for our shots. Looking out through the scope I began to dial in the range of the shots we need to take. "Increase your range to selection number five and hold to the left side". Jessica inhaled taking in what I said. It was now time to wait for the dummies to get to the right place inside their main tent. "Three… two… go". As our shots left the barrels the detectors at the end of our weapons went off. After the ring and flash ended the dummies went down and the chaos began.
The charges went off a few moments later along with the exchange of various weapons. "Move"! Going into a crouching jog we circled along the left side. Once with in range of the chaos we pulled the pins of our charge grenades and tossed them. With the main flash over we opened fire and took down any trying to make it to the others. After five dummies went down they're attention turned to us. "Lets go". Running into and out from behind various trees we slide down a slope to see the river close by. "Cover fire"! Jessica turned onto her side and unleashed a clip into a dummy, as I took out one trying to follow us. "Clear"! As we ran I reload, as did Jessica.
Making it to the river we met up with the other and moved to the evac point. As we did we had to keep a constant look out over to our right flank. After a few minutes we entered a quick firefight. "Pete Luca cross fire on the left, Sarah on me". Sarah and I took up behind a fallen to take distract two dummies. Allow Pete and Luca to kill any that stood up. Jessica took the final shot ending a dummy and clearing us to move on. Running out of the tree line we were in the clear and a horn rang out. Looking over at a rock formation we saw Captain James smiling holding an air horn.
James, "Congratulation Khan's you passed your first field fire test. I'm glad you all works as a team and took out your target. Finn I see you took charge and lead the way for your team the whole way". Smiling I said, "No we worked as any family would. We worked as one and we all get the praise as one… cause no one beats the Khan's"! Cheering at my words we began the walk back to the Guild excited to tell the other teams of what we accomplished and how far we have come. 'Soon you Fangs soon you'll regret taking me from my sister'.
