Well...

Through and through, the Spartan found life with his four new team-mates somewhat unsettling. The Spartan had found himself sitting outside of the place they were sleeping, examining his weapons. He ran through a few bits of data on everything needed to manufacture ammo and modifications for them. He looked over a dented clip from his DMR, with a slightly small dent, then placed it beside the table, unloading the ammo with his fingers and set the bullets on the table. He then pushed the dented side out, denting the uneven part out.

He sighed, slid the clip into his pocket, loaded the bullets into the other clips, then slid his weapons back onto his person and stood up. He looked about, to Megumin milling about, not sure what to do today. She had asked Chris, Darkness and, much later, Aqua about joining her for some sort of training. He nodded to himself, sighed, then walked up to her and said "Hello, Megumin." To which the girl jumped with a squeak, then grabbed her staff out of midair, looked back to him and smiled "Oh... Hey, Six. You scared me."

"What's up?" The Spartan asked, looking at her.

"Uhm... I kinda wanted to train in using my powers, but I don't have a place to train at..." She confessed, worried slightly. She was surprised to see Six simply nod. The Spartan boy said "I was just thinking of how to train the lot of you... Aqua can not fight worth a damn, Maoschist Woman Darkness is only good for being a meat shield, despite me hating that and Chris... The Thief is the only one capable of actually dealing proper damage. You pass out after a single use of your magic..."

"It has something to do with how young and underdeveloped I am." Megumin pouted, eyeing Six angrily and blushing.

"Oh... I see... I think I know a way to fix that..." The boy said, making the girl look at him questioningly. If only she could see the shit-eating grin behind his visor. Looking back, the Spartan cleared his throat, then barked "CHRIS, DARKNESS, AQUA! GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE!" and, within moments, he saw the trio he called out to move out toward him, Chris with all the stride and posture of a soldier, straight and calm, but with a smile on her face. The other two looked rather oddly at the Spartan and so did Cortana as she asked "Urm... Six... What're you about to-"

"We're brokering this new party being formed... Not with a party, though, as I'm sure Aqua had hoped." The Spartan said, setting his DMR upon his shoulder. "I am going to whip all four of you up into PROPER fighting shape! Chris, consider this another little gift of mine." And he heard a groan of inquisitive anger coming from the blue-haired 'goddess', while Darkness looked at him with wide eyes.

"We're out to start combat training. I'll have to prep a course for it, but I think I can have you guys do some simple exercises." Six proceeded, looking at everyone. "Now, c'mon. We're heading out! Line up outside the building. We'll start the training with a simple cadenced run." And he pushed the door open, showing the girls to the outside. He nodded to all of them as they went out of the building. Calmly watching them line up randomly, the 17-year-old nodded, then took off his helmet and clipped it to his belt, revealing a stern look, his emerald eyes locked on all 4.

"So... What's our first business, Six?" Inquired Chris. The Spartan responded loudly "A-teeeen~ HUT!" to which the four girls snapped-to out of reflex, with Aqua staring at Six, clearly frightened of the incoming developments. He barked again, louder "TURN LEFT, FACE!" making the four recruits turn left immediately, perfectly lined up. He nodded to them, then said "I'll be taking lead of the Platoon! You have to repeat after me if you want to keep the beat up with the marching! AM I UNDERSTOOD?!"

"YES, SIR!" Megumin, Chris and Darkness responded, Chris with a bit of bang to her buck and a wide grin on her face. He looked to Aqua then asked "Something wrong, Private Snowball!?"

"I... Don't get why I have to do this? I've got pretty much max stats anyhow and-" She cut off and gulped down some spittle as she watched Six approach her, a scowl on his face and a glare that could kill a fucking dragon. She straightened up, sweating already and shook her head "NEVERMIND, SIR!" to which the Spartan crossed his arms and shook his head. He walked back to the front of the column, ahead of the group, then yelled "Load'em up, Follow me! Keep the pace and distance! And-a One! Two! Three! One! Two! Three! Left, right, left, right, left!" The boy then said, each number coinciding with a step. The group followed slowly as they marched, through town. Six smirked, then proceeded to start singing "I'm a steamroller, boy-o!"

The four girls' voices sounded off in response "I'm a steamroller, boy-o!"

"Just-a rollin' down the line!" Six continued, keeping up step as his metallic boots collided with the dirt road bellow. "Just-a rollin' down the line!" the girls continued calmly and with the rhythm. "So you'd better get outta my way now!" "So you better get outta my way now!" "'fore I roll all over ya!" "'Fore I roll all over ya!" "With just a little!" "Wooh!" "a little!" "Hey!" "A lil' Rock and Roll! Woah, it's the kind that soothes ya soul!" "It's the kind that soothes your soul!" "So you better get outta my way now!" "So you better get outta my way now!" "'fore I roll all over ya!"

And he started a new one "I'm the United Nations' trooper! Just a-sliding down the road!"


...

By the time they'd reached even halfway through the course, the only ones not breathing heavily were Six, Chris and Darkness. Megumin and Aqua were nearly dead and barely catching up as Six looked at them. Megumin at least had something to support herself with(Her staff) but even that wouldn't help for long. He saw the two collapse an sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Speak of 'underdeveloped'..." Cortana muttered. Six walked toward the girls and picked them both up, then said "You lot need to do better." before moving with Darkness and Chris toward the tavern. Going inside, he'd immediately ordered food for the bunch. He sat at the table, looking at the girls. He rolled his eyes, then said "You two are just... WOW... I'm absolutely amazed people like you two exist."

"Oh, shut up..." Aqua mumbled, rolling her fork around in her food. Six raised his hand toward the waiter, then waved him over and looked at the girls. Standing up, he said "I'll go find us some quests... You order whatever you want." and with that, he stepped off. Darkness looked over to Megumin, who sighed deeply, leaning her head onto the table, then asked "It didn't seem that bad to me, girls. You were exaggerating a bit back there."

"We weren't..." Megumin panted "Faking..."

Darkness and Megumin exchanged looks, before gazing upon Aqua, who was beet-red. Chris sighed, then asked "Alright, Aqua. What's up?"

"I think I broke something while running..." The girl sighed. "Part 2:I'm gonna need a new skirt..."

"Ow..." The Crusader and her thief friend cringed. Chris looked at her, then asked "Caught on a twig?" to which the girl nodded and said "Yup..." and looking at them, slightly embarrassed "Not like we can't find a store or two around here, but come on..."

"I have to ask, Aqua, speaking of Six... When I and Megumin found you, you were with him for some time now... What can you tell us about him?" Darkness inquired calmly, to which Aqua looked at her, intrigued. She nodded, then said "Well, Six is a soldier, kinda different than what you'd expect a normal one to be. Much like the kings, princes and such around here, he was taught from a young age to fight, but unlike them his age was... Somewhere around 6 years old. His past is truly unknown to him ever since his family was..." Aqua bit her lip, holding back from speaking as she thought going any deeper may offend the Spartan... Wait, why'd she-

"Killed by a bigger force than anything you may face in this world, even MAGIC related." Six said, helmet under his arm. The girls jumped, then looked upon him and said "SINCE WHEN ARE YOU THERE!?" with fear. Six set his rifle on his shoulder, then said condescendingly and partially saddened "Since you started talking about me, Aqua. I'll complete the story there real quick. I'm an orphan that was taken in by my country's military, trained up to be a supersoldier, given a hell of a lot of gear and sent to complete the most dangerous of missions, all because mommy and daddy died on me." then he let out a dark chuckle "Oh, should've seen my face when I was a kid and that damned Elite was towering over me, his blade crimson from the blood of mom and dad. Much more so when the Marines gunned it down... Oh, well..." He sighed, then looked to see everyone, horrified. He ignored their faces, placing his helmet and rifle onto the table and said "There's no quest that we can do... But I've found a map showing a local abandoned castle. You want something to train on, Megu-meme?"

Megumin's eyes suddenly glistened with joy, her face lighting up as a grin plastered across it and she let out sounds of excitement. "Oaaah~!" then she started nodding her head quickly. Darkness and Chris chuckled and finally, Aqua to slightly smile. Six nodded to her, then said "Arm up. We're going tomorrow at dawn." then he sat up and walked away.

"This guy has a lot on his plate, doesn't he?" Chris wondered aloud. "Let's... Let's just eat and prep to leave. I think he'll want us in top shape for tomorrow's training run..." To which Aqua gasped and yelled "TOMORROW?!" making each girl look at her. Megumin nodded and spoke, her mouth muffled by her hands "Yep... He said we're gonna be doing this thing every day while we were running... Don't you remember?"

"W-W-WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~?!" Aqua burst, grabbing her head and suddenly standing up. She spoke gibberish and thrashed about like there was no tomorrow. Megumin giggled at the sight and so did Chris, while Darkness attempted (And failed) to calm the young woman and 'supposed goddess' down. Six watched this from behind the corner, then sighed and said "Think they need to know everything?"

"You can tell them in detail later, Six." Cortana said calmly, her hands clasped together and held behind her. Her avatar appeared outside of the helmet via a projector and stared up at him, her eyes kind, much like a mother's. "I think they know enough for now. At least not to mess with you and obey orders... Darkness and Chris may as well keep the two girls in tow..." and she sighed.

"It'll be fine, Six..." The girl said, looking at them. "It'll be fine..." then she vanished into her suit. The Spartan slid his helmet back into his head, then walked back toward his room in the stable, dropping the money for the food at the counter. 18000 Eris. His heavy footsteps followed him to the outside. He gazed up at the night sky as the stars above surrounded the moon and danced in his eyes. The 17-year-old Soldier leaned against the wall, then sighed and said to himself "Just why am I here, still?"
