Hey guys! I'm going to get this out of the way now, next week and possibly the week after that and maybe even the week AFTER that, there will probably be no update. I'm travelling to the mountains of Montana and internet is spotty. Just going to warn you guys now. Either way, now to the chapter.


Chapter 6: Training (or something like that)

Agent Cross slowly yawned as his alarm went off waking him up. He stumbled out of bed and made his way to his bathroom. As he splashed cold water on his face he remembered that today was his combat training day. He sighed at the thought and slowly put his armor on. Today was going to be a long day.


"What's wrong with you?" South snapped at Cross. He was looking extremely bored and somewhat annoyed.

"I just remembered today is my combat test." He responded. "I have to fight the top agents and see where I am."

"Wait, I thought you were just an intern. Why are you now fighting?" York asked. "Does this mean you are going to be ranked on the leader board?"

"No, but to join this "project", you have to "see where your skills are." Or some shit like that." Cross said. "That translates to, you have to either kill, or be killed."


After a somewhat hearty breakfast, the agents made their way to, the training arena. Wash who was usually extremely talkative, was surprisingly silent. North had tried several times to get Wash to speak to no avail. Everyone just took it to be that he hadn't gotten enough sleep.

"Okay, the first match is between Agent Maine and Agent Cross." The director told the group. "Hand to hand combat."

Maine growled evilly. To everyone's surprise, Cross just looked bored. Cross looked across everyone's faces of confusion and took the hint.

"Oh, yeah, uh, oh God, I'm going to die." He said robotically. "I think I am going to p-. Wait what does that sign say? I-I can't read it. The lettering went down like six fonts."

Everyone turned around to face a marine who was holding a big sign with the words that Cross had just said plastered across it. The soldier looked around and took off out of the room. Cross just shook his head and headed down to the arena floor where Maine was waiting for him.

"Match between Agent Maine and Agent Cross, Begin." F.I.L.S.S. said.

Maine cracked his knuckles and looked at Cross. Cross looked back with a determined face. Without warning, Maine raced forward fist drawn back. He smashed it into Cross. The blow would have been absolutely deadly and perfect, if Agent Cross had been there. Maine growled and looked around in confusion. Suddenly, almost magically, Cross appeared behind Maine. He swung his fist and made contact with the larger agents back. Maine went flying and smashed into a wall making a huge dent. He was knocked out on impact.

"Match ended, Agent Cross is the winner." F.I.L.S.S. said.

"Holy shit that was awesome!" Wash exclaimed. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yes quite. I wonder if Maine will be okay." Wyoming said obviously impressed.

"Next match, Agent Cross vs Agent Texas." F.I.L.S.S. finished.

Everyone's breaths caught. Everyone's including Cross.

"Those mother fuckers." Cross muttered under his breath.

"Match begin!" F.I.L.S.S. exclaimed. The two agents slowly circled. Texas slowly moved closer. Cross slowly moved back.

"Let's make this interesting." Texas growled. Cross narrowed his eyes as she attacked.

Texas quickly dashed towards Cross. At the last possible moment, Cross jumped away landing on a wall. He stayed there for only a split second before pushing off and attacking Tex back. The battle was like a deadly dance. Both opponents seemingly flying across the room. Suddenly, the voice of F.I.L.S.S. filled the room making both agents stop.

"The director has decided to allow weapons." F.I.L.S.S. chirped. Slowly, tables full of weapons lifted up from the ground. Texas grabbed a grenade, pistol, battle rifle, and knife. Cross on the other hand grabbed a flash bang, smoke grenade, katana, and 10 small throwing knives.

"Match continue!" F.I.L.S.S. said once both agents had chosen their weapons. Tex grabbed her rifle and sprayed a magazine into Crosses direction. Suddenly, her gun was gone. She looked at her rifle to see a throwing knife sticking out of it. She grinned and pulled out her pistol. Suddenly, there was a blinding flash. Her vision cleared just in time to see 3 throwing knives racing towards her head. She ducked and threw her grenade at the now visible Cross. He kicked it back but it exploded in front of him knocking him back. She raised her pistol.

"Any last words?" She asked.

"Yeah, just one." He responded. "Smoke." He threw a smoke bomb in front of him. Texas growled again and shot blindly into the smoke screen. Suddenly another knife came out of the smoke. She easily blocked it.

"I won't fall for that trick again!" She yelled out.

"That, was a distraction." Crosses voice responded. Her eyes widened as she saw a throwing knife come from every direction but up. She jumped into the air as she watched the knives clang together before her. Suddenly, she felt searing pain in her hand. She dropped her gun in surprise. A knife had sliced her arm. As she dropped back to earth, she saw Cross materialize out of the smoke.

"You fell for it again." Cross said taking out his sword. Tex just grimaced and pulled out her knife.

"You haven't won yet!" She yelled. She lunged towards him and smashed a foot against his gut. He stepped back shocked by the blow. She swung her knife towards his face. He bent backwards avoiding certain death. Even so, her blade grazed his cheek making blood spurt out. Both of them jumped back. Cross grinned.

"Nice shot!" he yelled. "Now, let's say we finish this." Texas smiled.

"It would be my pleasure." She responded. They both darted forward.

At that moment, the side of the arena exploded.
