Me: Daniel Stark. Anyone saw that coming? Well, we are about to move onto the second half of the story soon. When we get there, shit is really gonna go crazy.

Damian Stark: I don't think I Like the direction your taking this story.

Me: You're just scared. Where Doyle?

Doyle: Uh, where exactly are we?

Me: Not important. *points to the sign* read!

Derek's POV

We walked up to the weeckage of my space station. "Hey! Stay right where you are, or each of you get a taste of rocket launcer for lunch!" Wait a minute. I know him.

"Daniel. What the hell are you dong here?" I asked.

"Oh, you piece of shit!" That wasn't Daniel. But he was very pissed off at me. He fired the rocket launcher, which I barely dodged.

...

West's POV

"Medic! We need a medic!" Two of the soldiers are yelling for help. I ran over to help.

"I'm a medic! Calm down, soldier. Where are you hit?" The rebel medic I never saw that much also came to help.

"Relax, I got this." I attempted to use my healing unit, but nothing happened. "Why isn't this work?!"

"Uh, you gave your healing Unit to Doc before the attack on Crash site Alpha. Remember." Thanks for the reminder PSI. It's what I do.

"Wait a second, I'll be back." I said, before leaving. Hopefully, he doesn't bleed out in that secondk.

...

Mass's POV

Grif stopped the warthog after I scared off the guys chasing him. They do not like me firing that gun North Carolina stole from Locus. It's a pretty awesome gun, but it's basically a handheld machinegun. It's not like I have a rocket launcher. "Mass! Status report!" Sarge ordered.

"Outnumbered, outgunned, and being seriously outmaneuvered." I reported.

"Excellent news!" Sarge declared. I like the way he thinks.

"Excellent?!" Grif exclaimed.

"Now, they're putting up a fight. Here I was worried this would be too easy." I said.

"Ya gotta hand it to those villains, always one step ahead." Sarge chuckled. "You can learn a thing or two from them, Simmons."

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind if we survive, sir." Simmons noted.

"Any bright ideas, Colonel?" Grif asked as he got out of the car.

"The way I see it, we'll punch through the Pirates' defenses with an adrenaline-fueled slow-motion car crash! Thus creating an opening for us to escape and allowing me to scratch one more thing off my 'fuck it' list." Colonel Sarge answered. I've been a my fair share of car crashes, but known of them were slow-mo.

"How do you just make something slow-motion?" Grif asked.

"If it's awesome enough, life makes it happen!" RHO answered.

"Love the enthusiasm! It's great, sir. Really." Simmons said. "But don't you think we could try something, that won't get my head blown off?"

"You could go regruop with Wash that haven't been while I take your seat." I replied.

"It's more or less safer. We draw their fire while you slip past them while their distracted." RHO noted.

"Fuck this, I'm going there." Grif drove the hog away. Well, it's back on the mongoose.

...

North Carolina's POV

Where am I? I got up to see my sister in the dome shield with fours guys shooting at them. No, I'm not letting them die! I grabbed my dmr, and shot each pf their heads simultaneously. "HOLY SHIT!" Tucker exclaimed.

"Oh wait, he's on our side again?" Caboose asked. What?

"Good to have you back." My sister deactivated the dome-shield.

"Back? What happened?" I asked.

"When you came out, you started shooting at us, shouting, 'Your all dead!'." Church explained.

"And then your sister knocked you the fuck out!" Tucker added. Wait, that was real. I almost killed my real friends. Shit!

"We need to find Derek." My sister said.

"Derek? I thought Virge took care of him." I said.

"I think he might have been impersonating him." Church said.

"Oh, what if Derek was Virge the whole time?!" Caboose asked.

"Caboose, shut the fuck up." I need a minute to process this. I was going to kill my friends. My sister. Dammit!

...

Daniel's POV

"Looks like we beat them here. This is the temple." I said. Weird. They were closer. I hope they didn't get into too much trouble.

"Oh good. You know, I really wasn't sure, until you said that. Why don't you put those amazing powers of observation to use and stand guard, okay? Okay." Why is Felix being such an asshole? What did I do wrong?

"Does he do that all the time?" I asked on of the other pirates. I don't have much personal experience with the others, since I mostly just sit in Derek's space station. Mainly when he's not using it.

"You just kinda learn to tune it out." He pirate said. Well, I won't see him much after we get paid. Probably.

"Hey, Freddy Krueger! There's nothin' in here! Do we gotta do something?! Say the magic words?! Sacrifice, like... a goat?" I already knew he never shuts up.

"You are too late." What the fuck is that thing?! It looks Like Freedy Krueger fucked a goat! What the hell?!

"You are too late." It said.

"Whoa! What!? What do you mean 'too late'?! Where's the sword?" Felix shouted.

"It has already been claimed by another." Well. That's probably a bad sign.

"GODDAMMIT!" Well, he's definitely pissed off.

...

Damian's POV

This is by for the craziest thing I've done since the Reds and Blues got to this planet. "Alright, we need evac." Lopez had a pretty long answer, so I think somethings happening.

"Good point, Lopez. You get that, General?" Why did Donut have to be the translator.

"No, I don't speak spanish, dumbass." I answered.

"GODDAMMIT!" That's Felix! And he sounds pissed off.

"Uh, Donut, we need that ship right now!" I do not want to see him when he's angry.

"They're here! Spread out and find them now!" Oh, we are dead.

"Shit, Doyle, give me the sword." I ordered. "They won't leave without the sword. I'll draw their attention, while you get out of here."

"But what will happen to you?" Doyle asked. "If you die—"

"You and Kimball are going to have to learn to get along without me." I ran out of our cover. "HEY ASSHOLES?! Over here!" I fired my BR at Felix.

...

West's POV

"How do you just make something slow-motion?" Wash asked.

"If it's awesome enough—" PSI started

"RHO said it already." Simmons interrupted. Damn you, twin me.

"We're losing men here! I need to start hearing some serious solutions and I need them now!" Kimball yelled.

"Who said I wasn't serious?" Sarge asked.

"Perhaps we could us the environment to our advantage." PSI suggested. "I may be able to access some of the crashed ships engines."

"Oh dude! Are you gonna fly us out of here?" Grif asked.

"No, the damaged engines should create a giant smokescreen, which may be able to cover our escape." PSI said.

"Or, the engines will explode, killing everyone here. Fifty-fifty chance." RHO noted.

"That's a start. Red Team, you and the freelancers take charge on this, let me know when you're ready." Kimball ordered.

"Roger that." Mass complied. West, I need you to stay near the engine, so I can access it. Whatever you need.

...

North Carolina's POV

We're finally at the mountain base. Everyone caught me up on what happened while I was out. "Damian, General Doyle, we've dropped in at your position. Pelicans are looking for a safe LZ. Where are you? Over." My sister is talking to the generals. "Gonna have to be a little more specific, sir." Which one took the sword. "Damn it! We need to find him."

"If we split up, we can cover more ground." Oh, sure, Tucker. Split up so we can all DIE ONE BY ONE!

"Okay, Scooby. Let's not make it too easy for the bad guys." Church warned. At least some of us have sense. Suddenly, a pelican crashed in front of us. Derek and another guy walked out.

"Next time, I fly." Sharkface said.

"Jinkies! It's Sharkface!" Caboose exclaimed.

"Caboose, if you're gonna give him a nickname, don't make it that stupid." Tucker said.

"Actually, that's his real name." Derek said. "It makes more sense if you see his real face."

"Seems we're both looking for the same man. Bet you I'll find him first!" What's he up to?

"In your dreams." NO! I'm not letting it happen. I ran after her.

...

Virge's POV

"Hey, where are you going?!" Tucker asked.

"Split up and cover more ground!" Carolina answered. She and her brother left.

"Oh, so when it's her idea, it's a good thing."

"It's not. But as long as she keeps Sharkface busy, I don't have to be Derek." I switched back to Virge.

"Are you on our side or not?" Tucker asked.

"Well, i'd rather not give Charon the key to the planet, so yeah." I answered.

"So why'd you leave us with those guys back there?" Tucker asked.

"Well, I figured it be better to take the key before anyone else does." I replied.

"It does make sense. It be easier to take it as Derek than to help us by revealing himself." Thank you, Dr. Grey.

"Hostiles detected." Oh yeah. Freckles gun.

"RUN!" Tucker yelled. We all ran into a ice cave. "Whew! Think we lost'em?"

"Wait. Listen." I swear I hear something. "That's not the usual echoing of my dead friends voices I hear, is it?" I asked. If it is, then I have a problem. Because those disappeared a while ago, and a sudden resurgence of the voices is not good.

"Oh, man! Don't tell me it's alien zombies or something!" Tucker yelled.

"I hate alien zombies! They spread like cancer, AND are overused!" Seriously. They suck!

"Friendly heat signature detected." Oh, so he's on our side?

"Thank god!" Oh no.

"NOO! GOD, NO! GOD, PLEASE, NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOO!" WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE HIM! HE SHOULD HAVE DIED AT ALPHA! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
