"I... Will... Fucking... Kill... You... Simmons." Ethan said as he kept chokeing the maroon Sim Trooper.
"Let him go. Now." Wash told the ODST as he aim his Battle Rifle at his head.
"Not until he's dead."
"You heard Agent Wash dirtbag, he said now." Sarge said as he tried to step foward only to be stopped by Jen.
"Don't try anything stupid." She warned.
"Look here little lady, I have NEVER hit a woman before but if you keep aiming your shotgun in my face I might just have to rethink that option." Sarge told the female ODST as Tucker got hard as he walked up to her. "Hello babe, names Tucker and I'm gonna show you a good time that you won't forget." Tucker told her as she lowered her gun... and kicked him right in the balls. "OWWWWWWW! DAMNIT!"
"That's a good time I won't forget." She told the 'chosen one' with a laugh as he held his area while she reraised her gun. "Plus, I already have a boyfriend." She said as Theta, Donut, Lopez and Doc came outside.
"What's all the racket? I'm trying to cook dinner in here." Donut told them, wearing his apron and waveing a large wooden spoon in his right hand.
"'It looks like that our friends need our help.'" Lopez told his friend who was the only person that he could really talk to.
"Really, well then let me put this away." Donut said as he put his spoon and apron on the counter and grabed his gun and the four went to the rest of the group.
"Come on guys, the rest of them need our help." Doc said as he steped over a log.
"What the... Ethan? Jen?" Theta asked in shock.
"Theta?" Both of them asked.
"Ethan and Jen?" Wash asked in shock of how Theta knew these two people.
"What... the fuck's happing, [groan]." Tucker asked, still on the ground.
"What in Sam Hill is going on here?"
"And why wasn't I told that we were having guests? I'll just have to make more chicken." Donut said as he rushed back inside Red base.
"And WHY have I not be able to ASK A question yet!?" Caboose asked as he popped up out of nowhere and scared everyone hard enough for Ethan to let Simmons go.
"[Huff, huff, huff, huff, huff.] thanks Caboose." Simmons said as he got up, holding his right hand over his neck.
Smileing behind his helmet, he says "Your welcome Simmons." while aiming his gun at Ethan.
"Talk, your out numbered, out gunned and out matched." Wash said as Ethan got in his face. "Prove it." Ethan challenged the last ex-Freelancer. Putting his gun on his back, Wash tells the ODST Captain: "Okay." as he headbutted him. Stumbling back in pain, Ethan smirked as he punched Wash across the face and watched as he fall to the ground. As Wash got back to his feet Ethan ran as fast as he could and kicked him in the chest and into the water. As he jumped off the edge of the waterfall Wash rolled backwards and got into a fighting stance. He did a one-two combo to the man's chest followed by a kick to the ribcage. Ethan once again smirked as he ducked and gave the ex-Freelancer an uppercut to the jaw, sending him flying and hitting the outer Red base wall. "Give up yet?" He asked as he waited about ten feet away.
"Not yet." Wash tells his opponent as he gets up once again and pulls a Tex punch which causes Ethan to fall off his feet. As Ethan hops back onto his feet Wash, now holding his combat knife, charges at the ODST and slash's at his chest. He hits and causes some blood to trickle down his armor and into the water. "He, nice one. Now,
it my turn." He says as he grabs his knife and returns the same amount of kindness while the rest of them watched from above the waterfall.
"So you have a boyfriend?" Tucker asked.
"Yeah. It's Ethan. Be happy that he was busy or else he would have do more damage then just a kick to the balls."
"I'll remember that." Tucker told her.
"So Theta said that your names Jen?" Donut asked.
"Yep. What's yours?"
"I'm Donut. This is Sarge."
"Hello and sorry about the 'little lady' bit. I noticed that you also have a love for shotguns."
"I do. Ethan gave it to me yesterday after my last one was broken."
"And I found it." Theta said.
"Well then thank you very much Theta."
"You are welcome."
"This big guy right behind me is Lopez."
"'Hello.'"
"What?"
"He said hello. So far I'm the only one who can understand him. Anyway you already know Simmons and Tucker so this is Caboose."
"Hello."
"Hi. Duck!" She shouted as all of them minus Caboose ducked. "A duck? Where?" He asked the group as Wash went flying past them. "Ahhhhhhh!"
"Hello Wash." He said as Ethan ran past them as they stood up. "Your not dead yet Freelancer!" The ODST shouted.
"It's ex-Freelancer." Wash told the ODST as he grabed his Battle Rifle.
"That does not matter!" He shouted back as he grabed his SMGs after he tossed a frag grenade at his enemy.
"Son of a bitch." Wash complained as it exploded, covering him on a cloud of smoke. As it cleared he aimed his Battle Rifle in front of him while Ethan aimed his SMGs in front of him. As the last bits of smoke and dust cleared they saw a sight that was like a movie scene: Both men were standing arms lenght apart with their guns aimed at each others heads.
"You give up yet?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Now, you can anwser my question: Where did you come from?" Wash asked as they put their weapons down.
"Mombasa. We were fighting Simmons but he was wearing a set of armor owned by another ex-Freelancer called the Meta."
"The Meta!?"
"Yeah. Who was he?"
"He was one of the best Freelancers there was, his A.I. Sigma, was insane. Sigma took control of Maine's mind after the fall of Project Freelancer. Over the next ten years he found and killed most of the other Freelancers and stole their A.I.s. The only ones that lived were me, South, Wyoming and Florida. Just over a week ago, he was killed by me and everybody else that's part of the group. He was tied to a car, that car was pushed off a cliff and into the freezing ocean. The Epsilon Unit was damaged in the fight and Church, the Epsilon A.I., went inside where we hope he found what he was looking for."
"How did Theta turn into a human?"
"He said that Sigma, his brother was about to take control of him too when Delta, another part of the Espioln Unit, helped him escape. When he exited the unit he was somehow changed into a human. We lost a member of our group, his name was Grif and I was to blame for helping the Meta. Ever since I've made it my mission to keep the rest of these guys safe."
Speachless, Ethan just has one word to say about Wash's story: "Damn."
"So, how'd you meet Theta?"
"I was looking for my team in Mombasa when I found him hiding, after a long night of killing a few Grunts and driving I found the rest of my team. We were tasked with retrieving a date core, the one on my back, and give it to the U.N.S.C. so the aliens would fail in taking Mombasa. That's when Simmons, the one that me and Jen fought showed up and almost killed us. He tossed a firebomb at us and the next thing that we know were falling from the sky and that's when we found your group."
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, there's one problem with that story."
"What?"
"You said that Theta was with you all night right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"He was sleeping for eight hours. So that means that when Simmons tossed the firebomb at you two it must have hit the date core and sent you and Jen here. That mean's that you two are from Theta's mind. He created you two from his subconscious mind from his feelings and you two took form of his positive ones and your Simmons took the from from his negative ones."
"That's pure bullshit. I remember being a kid, growing up, having sex, meeting Jen, having sex with Jen and everything else. There's no way that me and Jen are just two fragments from a dream!"
"I'm sorry Ethan, but it seem's to be true." Wash comforted the ODST as he took off his helmet, revealing his blond hair.
"I just can't beleave it." He says as he draws his knife and stabs his palm, only for it to not produce any blood. "It can't be but I guess it's true." Ethan said as he put his helmet back on and knife away. "[Sigh], well then, I guess we'll stay here since we have nowhere else to stay. That okay with you Washington?" He asked as Wash thought for a moment.
"Sure Ethan."
"Thanks Washington." He said as they shacked hands. After that they told the rest of the group about their two new members and waited for whatever happened next.
Whatever did happen, they would be ready.
