I feel the Mondays are coming faster than before, ugh... Anyways, here's some Jessie POV for you. Have a nice Monday.
"Jessie!" Washington called with a quick glance over to her.
"O-on it!" Jessie replied, trying to hide behind a tree. She looked to the side, and shot a few bullets at one of the guys fighting Wash.
"Where did they all come from!?" Donut shouted, tossing a few grenades. They exploded, killing or injuring a few of the soldiers.
"They're space pirate-people!" Jessie called out, before letting out a small squeak as one of them appeared in front of her, weapon aimed. She ducked her head and shot, the bullet hitting the other's arm, causing him to drop the weapon. Jessie let out a sigh of relief, and knocked the guy out with a kick.
"Space-whatchamacallits?" Sarge asked, firing his shotgun.
"Space pirates!" Jessie repeated, ducking and catching her breath. "They're kinda our enimies!" she then thought for a second. "Pretend they're Grif and maybe they'll die faster!"
"There's so many of them!" Donut shouted.
"Well, there's not as many as before, so that's a good thing," Wash commented.
"Let's just kill them and move on," Tex said, taking out three with one swift kick.
"What do you think we're doing!?" Jessie yelled, ducking with a yelp as a grenade flew over her head.
"Idiotas . ¿Por qué no te paras a pensar por un segundo?(Idiots. Why don't you stop and think for a second?)" Lopez muttered.
"What did he say?" Jessie asked, knowing that Lopez can be really smart.
"He said we need to use our guns and throw a party after!" Donut told her, throwing a well-aimed sticky grenade onto another space marine.
"Damnit, Lopez! This isn't time fer celebrations!" Sarge told the robot. "That's saved for Grif's death."
"I doubt he actually said that," Jessie muttered to herself.
"Stop bickering!" Washington ordered, shooting a space pirate as a bullet barely missed him.
"What the fuck is wrong with this thing!?" Church shouted at his sniper rifle. "Oh, fuck!" He yelled as a space pirate came towards him with a rocket launcher. Tex came in, knocking the space pirate down and cracking his neck with her foot. She picked up the rocket launcher and shot at a group of space pirates running towards Wash, killing most of them. She then turned and ran towards one of the space pirates near Sarge, kicking her in the head and knocking her weapon out with her arm.
"That was my kill!" Sarge protested.
"Not now," Tex replied. "Besides, she wasn't really your type anyway."
"I am so lucky Tex is here," Jessie muttered after watching her small display. As she looked around, Jessie noticed that there weren't many left, and the ones that were there were looking a little frightened. The one she knocked out earlier let out a groan, getting back up, but Jessie whacked him with her gun, putting him back to sleep.
"Adios, bitches!" Donut threw a grenade towards the remaining soldiers, killing them all.
"That it?" Jessie asked slowly.
"All that I can see," Tex replied, "We should keep a look out just incase, though."
"Where did they come from!?" Church asked. Everyone looked towards Jessie, which happened a lot after she told them the whole thing about knowing their futures and stuff.
"They're not Feds, nor are they from the New Republic," Jessie told them, before mentally smaking Katherine. "They must have come after us because I knew what their plan was the whole time."
"How would anyone know?" Wash asked, "Unless there's someone within the New Republic working with the Chairman.." Everyone's gazes on Jessie intensified, silently asking if she knew.
"Well.. Uh.. You see.. I don't-it's-I..," Jessie let out a nervous laugh.
"Yeah, she know's something," Church concluded from the way she spoke.
"Jessie," Washington commanded.
"I..," Jessie sighed, "I can't say." Wash facepalmed, his hand smaking against his helmet.
"'I can't say' doesn't really give an answer," Tex pointed out.
"Why can't you say?" Donut asked, "If you have any feelings you need to talk about, I'm always here."
"Why I can't say.. I also don't really want to say," Jessie spoke, thankful she was wearing her helmet.
"JESSIE!" everyone yelled at her, the sheer force of their voices causing her to stumble back a little.
"Just give us a fucking answer!" Church demanded.
"I don't want to!" Jessie shouted.
"When a girl doesn't want to say," Tex started, "Give them a moment to themselves, and if they still won't say after, then you beat 'em up until they do say."
"I don't want to kill her," Wash said, "She's very valuable. Even if there are some things she won't tell us, we wouldn't know near as much as we do now without her and her family."
"He has a point," Sarge said, "We let 'em tell us everything, and then we kill 'em!" Jessie took a few steps away from him at this statement.
"I'm standing right here you know!"
"We aren't killing her!" Washington shouted.
"Shouldn't we be going to the Federal Army place..?" Donut asked, gaining everyone's attention.
"Donut's right," Wash sighed. "We need to get going again. We need to warn them."
-Line-
Outside of the traveling group's vision, Locus watched them, cloaked. He let out a slight growl of frustration when they beat all of the people he'd sent to stop them.
"Control," he called over his radio, "The Reds and Blue are still on their way. None are dead."
"Make sure they do not reach their destination," another radioed. "And the newer.. additions to their group must be the first eliminated. They pose the most danger. Is that clear?"
"Yes."
-Line-
"So.. these things have radios in them?" I asked, looking at my new armor Kimball gave me.
"Yes," Mom answered.
"Okay, I think I know how it works..," I muttered, before calling Jessie. "Aha! Here we go!" I smiled. "Uh.. Come in, Jessie? This is Kat calling." all I heard was static. "Hello?"
"Are you sure you're using that thing correctly?" Mom asked, walking towards me.
"Not really. I'm not getting an answer," I said, shrugging.
"Let me try. I know the technology here better than you," Mom said, using her own radio. "Jessie?" she asked. From the sound of it she didn't get an answer, so she tried something else. "Tex? You there?"
"Trying different people?" I guessed, and Mom nodded.
"..Church? Are you there?" Mom asked, before shaking her head, "I guess they're broken."
"I'll talk to Kimball about it," I promised. "I'm sure they're fine." I hope they're fine! The radio seemed pretty simple, and I knew how to get Jessie on from some of the stuff others said, but no answer! Maybe someone's blocking the channel? "I'll read for now," I said, picking up a book I got from Donut's sister. The Butterfly Effect, eh? Sounds interesting.
I read for a while, actually quite interested after reading the overview. It wasn't too long of a book, but it really made me think. It was really similar to the situation I was in. Just the simplest change in this universe turned into a completely different storyline from what Jessie said originally happened. It made me wonder how much more things will change before we get to go home.
Then, another thought crossed my mind: what if this is home now? What if I'll never see my old house again? Or never see my bed, my friends.. I shook my head. I don't need to think about that right now.
I put the book away, silently telling myself to return it later, and headed towards Kimball's office. I soon reached it, and knocked on the door.
"Come in," came Kimball's voice, and so I did.
"Kat?" she asked, as if expecting someone else. I nodded. "What is it?"
"I was about to ask the same thing," I answered. She seemed a little frazzled when I walked in, so something was obviously bothering her.
"I tried making contact with Washington and your sister," Kimball answered. "Multiple times, actually. I didn't get an answer."
I almost froze. So it wasn't a problem with my radio.. "I also tried to call them earlier.. which is why I came here, because there was no answer. I thought my radio might be broken, but now.." I shook my head, "Do you think they're in trouble?"
"Maybe. But I can't be sure if I can't make contact," Kimball replied.
"That.. Probably isn't good," I said. Kimball nodded.
"I'm sure it's nothing. They're probably just somewhere out of range." She looked up, "I'm sure your radio's fine, though."
"Oh. Right!" I had almost forgotten why I came here to begin with. I slowly walked away and out, becoming more worried for my sister by the second. Be safe, Jessie..
"Hey, Kat!" Tucker called, running up. "What were you doing in there with Kimball?" He asked. "Wait, we're you two-"
"Shut up before I make you," I cut him off.
"You didn't even let me finish!" Tucker protested.
"I don't want to hear the end of that sentence," I said, shaking my head.
"Well, if you weren't doing that, what were you doing?" Tucker asked.
"I was talking about not being able to contact the others," I replied.
"Wait, what?" Tucker asked, as if not hearing correctly.
"Me, Kimball, my mom, we all tried to make contact, but no one answered!" I told him.
"That doesn't sound very good.."
"Yeah," I nodded. "What are you doing over here, anyways? Aren't you supposed to be training a squad or something?"
"Oh. I needed to talk to Kimball," Tucker said.
"Well, I guess you now have another subject to talk about," I said.
"Yeah," Tucker agreed, "Anyways, I have to go." He finished the way to Kimball, knocking on the door.
"I really hope you're alright," I silently spoke to Jessie.
"Hey, Kat, right?" someone called. I turned around and noticed it was Donut's sister. Do I still call her Donut? That would just be weird. I'm sure she wouldn't mind being called Theresa. It is her first name after all.
"Yeah?"
"Do you still have my book?" She asked.
"Oh, right!" I nodded, "I'll go get it!"
"Thanks," Theresa said. "Actually, I'll come with you."
"Wait, what about Carolina?" I asked. I wouldn't think she'd just let a squad member wander around.
"Oh.. she got a little mad at Garvens, then she stomped out and started talking to Epsilon." Theresa answered. "She's been for a while,"
"What did Garvens do?" I asked.
"She called her a bad leader and stuff. It was.. well, you'd have to be there to understand. I don't feel like repeating those five minutes right now.." Theresa let out a small laugh.
"You know, I'm surprised," I said.
"Huh?"
"You actually seem.. oh, what do I call it..? Normal," I told her.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Theresa defended.
I stopped, "I didn't mean it in a bad way.. It's just.. your brother.."
"Oh.. Yeah, I get what you mean," Theresa said.
"Wait.. Really?"
"He can seem a little different. He honestly needs to work on his wording because I mean it when I say he does not mean what he says to come off the way it does," Theresa responded. "Most of the time." She laughed, "Wow, that was a jumble. But, yeah I can understand what you mean. Trust me, I'm not Franklin!"
"Okay, okay!" I laughed, putting my hand up. We were almost where we were going.
"But yeah, it's fine," Theresa laughed, too. We reached our destination, and I grabbed the book, handing it to Theresa, who took it.
"Well, you should get going," I said. "When Carolina finds out you left she'll-"
"DONUT!"
"Uh.. Yeah, that."
Theresa nodded many times, and gulped, "Yeah.. I should go." She began to run, "Bye! Nice talking to you!"
I waved at her, then say down, sighing, why does Donut have a sister again? I shook my head, not too worried about it. She seemed nice, anyways, which was more than you could ever hope to get from Grif's sister. Why is it just Red Team with the sisters? Does Simmons have a sister? Sarge? Actually, I don't want to think about Sarge having a sister.. What about Caboose?
I slapped myself for letting my mind drift to such thoughts. Then again, Caboose said once he had a lot of sisters..
A/N:
Looks like some people know what Jessie, Wash and the others are up to.
*Sarcastically* Gee, I wonder who could have possibly told them the plans?
I don't know about you guys, but I wanna meet Caboose's sister sometime! Or, one of them.. They're related to Caboose, so I'm sure they're all interesting. Yeah, I'm done here.
Oh, and incase you didn't already know, I have a new fic up called The Twelve Days of Red vs. Blue. It's basically about Christmas, new chapter every day until Christmas day, twelve chapters in the end. Okay, now I'm done.
