Wolves of saunders ch. 21
A/N: I do not own GuP and only my OCs and is there any dark things you would want to see in my second GuP story?
As he was sitting in his room Trace yelled seemingly to no one
"God fucking damn it can this day and just life in general suck any worse?!" before he hung his head and started to cry thinking the door to his apartment was locked. As the tears started to fall staining his hardened features he heard a voice that proved he had forgotten to lock his door saying
"Hey bro are you ok and please don't try and lie because we both know you are a damned bad liar and no offense I will beat the truth out of you" and Trace saw Richard standing in the doorway and choking back his emotions he yelled
"Shut the damned door because I don't want people to see me crying because I have the image of a hard ass to maintain" and Richard looked at his brother and said casually
"You genuinely think I give a damn about your image boy you are one funny motherfucker you know that?" and as Trace went for his knife he then saw Richard with the look in his eyes seeming to say that death was exactly what he wanted Trace put the knife down and said
"Well motherfucker grab a seat and your bitch ass had better be prepared to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up" and Trace looked at his best friend and said
"You saw when my bird went up in smoke that my picture went up in there as well?" and Richard nodded and said in a cryptic message that he knew to be quickly deciphered to him but confusing as hell to any outsiders
"Well you seem to be the one with all the answers but did you know I'd change the questions?" and as Trace went to open his mouth Dani knocked on the door along with Yukari giving 2 knocks followed by one and smiling Trace said
"Get the door and be prepared to keep what you hear a closely guarded secret or so help me you will be taking this to the grave and learning Davey jones locker combination" and Richard laughed and said as he was wearing a tux from a date with Alisa and he asked with all the intent of keeping it light hearted
"What should I give you here in the bar aka 762 and I recommend the 7&7 topped off with a hamburger and steak fries provided that the head chef lets me back in the kitchen" and they all remembered the kitchen explosion from deep frying sausages. As Yukari and dani laughed they said
"Anything you don't cook will be fine and for the love of god boy this is a nice place and we are jealous but we have a map for you and we will need you to fly top cover because a certain little spy brought us the tanks that Black forest will drag against us so even though this is a training match you know how they are when the bastards think they will lose" and he just nodded before looking at Dani and saw Abby walk in and he said
"Don't worry it will just be the battle of the bulge again and I can vouch for the air wing that if the Kuro air corps decides to come out to play we'll have a ball and win and I wonder if I'll know the ace they send up this time" and Trace looked at Abby and said quietly
"The bastards who tried to attack us last time if they try again we will take no prisoners so you may want to open up the Brig for us" and he was shocked to hear her say
"If you shoot second it's self-defense and gets you confined to your room but I doubt Kay will mind neither will Yukari" and he and Dani smiled then wandered out to the hangars and seeing the BF109-K6 he smiled and seeing the black paint smiled and went to the paint booth and made the once shiny silver aircraft a shiny black and gray camouflage paint scheme with red demon stallion and a grim reaper called 'Caballo Diablo' or 'Demon lord' as the skull had a crown on his head. The other aircraft he had had the standard camouflage color with similar nose art and even some with Aces and 8s Hickok and similar death related nose art. As he smiled with the paint drying he had also had the frame reinforced with metal on the leading edges and the props replaced with metal designs taken from the sonderkommando elbe and the weapons increased to 2 twenty millimeter cannon and 4 .50 caliber machine guns on his 109 and the 6 50 caliber of the P51H model and its added armor made him one of the most hotshot pilots because as he had told Dani when he had the anti-tank pods after a recent skirmish
"I have the weapons and the knowledge that any day the reaper will try and call my number but why not piss everyone else off and have a ball doing it" and Dani just nodded before letting the boy finish his coke and get some hang time. As Dani had sat in the herald after pulling the hatch shut she held the blade of a knife in her hand and said quietly not knowing Taylor was a sleep in the drivers compartment
"Well my dear blade someday you will find a new home and I'm a gal who's gone to hell with heavens blessing" and Taylor yawned and asked
"Hey Cap I'm not trying to critique your singing but we both know a more fitting song for you" and as they started to sing
"Don't make a sound stay close to the ground move quickly she's starting to stir" and Yukari sang as she climbed up onto the tank
"Grab a handful of mane then its onto her back and start raking her down with my spurs try as she will she can't shake me as its over the precipice we go to shed the life blood of a horse and a man on the rocky Sierra below" and they fell in silence as the plan to draw out Kuromormine and have a classic duel like the battle of the bulge would work and as the girls all geared up Taylor sang out
"I ain't got a dime but what I got is mine I ain't rich but lord I'm free" and Bella said keeping up with the lines
"Lost my saddle in Houston broke my leg in Santa Fe lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way" and they fell into silence as the wolves air arm got on the radio and called out
"Herald you are a pack of troubadours and I say we protect you all and Jesse watch out for that dirty little coward" and Taylor smiled hearing Jason caring about her and as they fell into silence Kay sang to Trace
"When your best friend died you were right by her side and lifted off her golden wedding ring and you were standing on a chair just dusting pictures there and you thought you heard a noise and when you turned your head around that bullet smacked you down and laid poor you on the floor" and as they all sang songs to each other and Dani yelled
"Shoot the bastards and take no chances they are desperate" and Dani cranked up the radio and saw the flash of the 7.92mm machine guns and answered with Taylor firing the main gun scoring a knock out and that was when in Dani's own words "shit started getting weird" as the channels met with the voice of Dani's one time boyfriend from Kuro saying
"Well bitch I'm shocked you aren't working the streets or whatever the fuck you do" and hearing that dani manually slew the gun at the tank and said
"Yeah and you have to work with the girls cause you can't fly so fuck you" and contrary to her calm demeanor she started drilling the tank with .50 cal and .30 cal machine gun ammo and even the 105 she was crying screaming
"FUCK YOU! YOU LEFT AND DESERVED WHAT YOU GOT NOT ME!" and the whole tank fell silent as Kay fired the last round all but flipping the flag tank as it was nearly a point blank shot. As the tanks all unloaded and they were lifted up the fighters all circled around the combined fleet of school ships before returning to their home bases but Saunders as the host for this match had to provide CAP till everyone was safely out of the grouping or missile range as Trace had said when he was at top gun
"Just because we are paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't trying to kill us" and as he and the rest of wolf squadron kept swinging around looking they heard over a naval channel
"There is a small unidentified aircraft fast approaching the Kittyhawk and Enterprise battle group and the other jets can't fly slow enough to intercept Ghost squadron your up" and Trace clicked affirmative and as he heard his crew call bingo and return to the carrier Trace looked around and saw a 109 that he assume correctly was packed with C4 high explosive and he yelled over the radio at the aircraft
"Unidentified aircraft if you do not break pattern I will be forced to shoot you down" knowing fully well he was bluffing as the rounds weren't military grade but were solid rounds that would shatter on impact Trace fired a burst and saw the bogie turn hard to starboard and he yelled
"Bandit is choosing to engage so game on boys" and he was signaled that he was clear to engage and he instantly got on the mans six and smiled hearing
"Those bastards allowed you to join after you stole my girlfriend so now everyone has to die" and Trace snapped off a burst and yelled on the microphone to dani saying
"Hey if you can get the 105 loaded and start tracking this son of a bitch I have a plan that I may not have to do" and as he explained Dani passed the intel onto the rest of the crew before yelling over the radio
"Gun is loaded and if he flies in a path that gives us a shot we will take it and fuck his shit up so you can save fuel" and as Trace clicked acknowledgment he squeezed off another burts only for his bird to violently shudder and his guns to go dry and he screamed
"Fuck they jammed!" and then laughed muttering to himself "granddad always said id kill myself flying like a hotshot" and he saw the 109 sharply reverse his turn and trace struggled throwing 7Gs on himself dani yelled to herself watching from the commanders hatch
"God damn it drop that son of a bitch!" and Kay was yelling the same and saw her boyfriend slam right into the 109 and as Kay cried yelling
"Trace damn it you had better be alive and why did you have to die" he responded with
"Kay I'm not dead but the bird will need a new overhaul so I'll see you and tell the runway crew that I ain't ditching my bird and everybody do the flop" and they sent up another wolf to examine trace and Richard who drew the straw said
"Damn you need to land and NO FLOPPING!" and Trace said back leaking oil
"I suck at following orders" and knowing he was flat bottomed said
"Thank god I didn't bring the gun pods" and slammed down belly first yelling
"OH SHIIIIIIIIT!" and as the bird slammed into the ground with the other 109 parts having torn into the cowling and cut his fuel lines as well as screwed up the propeller Trace finished bending it on landing but had shut the engine off. As soon as he slammed on the ground Trace was violently thrown around the cockpit slamming his head around the cockpit and breaking his nose on the instrument panel and slashing his face on the yoke he had stained the cockpit red and as everyone opened it Trace fell out and muttered
"Damn it that hurt so much!" and he was rushed off to the medical bay and the doctors told him
"No matter how stubborn you are you are grounded from flying" and he just nodded knowing that his depression wasn't going away anytime soon and he muttered quietly" When the 105 fired turning him so I could ram him I should have had her shoot me" and his mind flashed to the impact and the pilot flashing him the middle finger before the bird blew up killing the man in a ball of fire and almost taking trace out and as he held the DFC and knights cross as well as the silver star he put a pistol to his head and cocked the hammer back while using his free hand to open and chug the bottle of jack not realizing what was happening nearby. As Dani grabbed a rope as being involved in a shootout she was banned from tanks or birds for a while she grabbed a wax covered rope and sang
"Today is gonna be the day Ive already wrote the note" making a mental count to thirteen coils and she stood on a then sang out
"I'm a gal whose gone to hell with heavens blessing" and pushed the chair out from under her and as her body dropped she felt the rope went tight jerking her body to a stop and as her vision went black she heard seemingly from no where
"Sleep well little lamb" and as Trace pulled the trigger he felt the weight shift has the hammer rose and fell taking in his mind an ungodly long time and as he squeezed his eyes both him and Dani heard a yell of
"OH GOD DAMN IT NO!" before both saw the darkness they wanted not knowing if it was permeant or temporary.
A/N: Sorry for the dark cliff hanger and the suicide is not meant to depress anyone its just getting to that time of year for me. Again if the suicide attempts in the story upset anyone I'm sorry
