LOG #28: Teleportation Troubles

#07 was calling through her helmet's built-in communicator, "Hello? Hello? Anyone there? Do you read me? Hello? Anybody? Somebody?" She stopped calling. There was no point. "It looks like we can't contact anyone right now."

#11 said, "And we're all wet right now too."

The two of them were knee deep in water and clad in armor. Earlier, Dr. Magi had asked them to help him test out some new teleportation technology, which was why they were in this predicament.

"OK, why don't we go and find other people?" suggested #07. "It's better than wading here."

"You made a joke," giggled #11.

"It was a pun, but yes, yes I did." #07 and #11 ran off. They spotted a wall and as they turned a corner they stopped when they saw a dead body lying in front of them.

"Is he asleep?" asked #11. #07 carefully went over to check. It looked like one of GIN-SHOCKER's soldiers, except that his uniform was blue instead of the standard red.

"He's dead," #07 confirmed. "I almost feel sorry for him."

"What could've killed him?" #11 asked.

"Guess we have to find out. Come on!"

The two girls turned another corner and saw the more dead GIN-SHOCKER Soldiers. Among the ones dressed in blue were ones dressed in red.

"Looks like we got more dead people," #07 stated.

"What in the world happened here?" #11 asked, not liking this one bit.

"There must've been an enormous battle," #07 guessed. She called, "Hello, is there anybody okay? Are there any survivors?"

"What do you think you're doing?" #11 questioned. They were in enemy territory. "Wait," #11 whispered. "Do you hear that?"

"Is that…a trumpet?"#07 was confused, "Wait a second I know that song! It's Reveille! But why would someone be playing Reveille in the middle of a-"

The red and blue soldiers suddenly rose from the dead, cheering in high pitched voices. #11, in her fright, jumped into #07's arms. "What the hell!-?" the mantis cyborg shrieked, "Zombies!"

The red and blue soldiers, ignoring the Kaizo Ningen, started to quickly march away. The red group ran into a base that had GIN-SHOCKER's emblem in red painted over the entrance while the blue group entered another base with GIN-SHOCKER's emblem painted in blue above their door.

#07 and #11, dumbfounded, wondered aloud, "What just happened?" #07 put #11 down and spotted a window. Using her spider-like ability to stick to walls, #07 climbed up to the window and poked her head inside.

"07-chan, what do you see?" #11 asked.

The blue GIN-SHOCKER Soldiers were chanting, "Kill the reds! Kill the reds! Kill the reds! Kill the reds!"

#07 responded, "I wonder if there was something funny in the water." #07 jumped down to #11's level.

"I have a bad feeling about this," said #11 in worry before she heard the trumpet playing again.

"CHARGE!" the red and blue soldiers all shouted as they rushed out of their respective bases, guns blazing. They were shooting at each other like crazy as the entire area turned into a battle field with random explosions erupting all around the two girls.

"Come on, Number 11! We have to get to higher ground!" shouted #07 as she dragged #11 with her to safety.

"I have to reload!"

"Oh, back of the head! Tell my girlfriend that I love her!"

"She's my girlfriend now, bitch!"

#07 and #11 climbed a ladder and reached higher ground where they witnessed the carnage.

"07-chan, I'm scared," admitted #11.

Then they heard the trumpet again.

Now #07 was baffled, "What the hell is going on here?-!"

Out from the blue base, a red GS-Soldier ran out with a blue flag that had GIN-SHOCKER's emblem on it. He waved the flag, shouting, "Stop fighting, everyone! Stop fighting!" The shooting and shouting ceased from the other soldiers. "Everyone! Everyone! Look onto me! I possess the blue flag!"

"It's more beautiful than I ever imagined."

"I have seen the top of the mountain and you will worship me as if I were a god!" shouted the flag-waving red soldier before he was attacked by blue soldiers and had the flag taken from him. As they dispersed, he lay on the ground, saying, "I regret nothing! I lived as few men dared to dream!"

Fighting, shouting and shooting resumed a moment later.

"Oh yeah!"

"Oh no!"

"Headshot! Oh, you rocket whore!"

"The only good blue is a dead blue!"

"Weak!"

"Hey, you took my kill!"

"I didn't see your name on it!" "

"Oh, you fucking bitch!"

"It's a legitimate strategy!"

There were two soldiers left, one on each side, across from each other at the river.

"Hey blue we're the only two left," the red called. "Let's work together!"

"Whaddya mean?" the blue responded.

"I'm coming out!"

"OK, I'm coming out too!"

The two GS soldiers met at the river and faced each other.

"What did you mean 'we could work as a team'?" the blue questioned.

He got his answer when the red snuffed him with his gun, killing him.

"I bash you on the head with my rifle and you die." the red answered. "Good teamwork you fucking newb! Good game, everybody! Good game! GG! GG, man-UGH!"

#07 and #11 were watching the insanity with dumbfounded expressions. "I have no idea what I just saw, so I'll just blame Dr. Magi for transporting us here."


"I see you encountered the Hyper Soldiers," said #13.

"Hyper Soldiers?" asked #11, tilting her head to the side. Dr. Magi managed to locate them and bring them back to headquarters and had apologized for sending them to that place.

"Dr. Gebok explained to me that they were an experiment that went wrong," said #13.

"You don't say," responded #07 sarcastically.

"They were to be immortal. Basically, despite receiving lethal injuries, they would regenerate to fight again. However, they were also very irritating as a result."

"Irritating? It was like a bunch of little kids with ADHD and too much coffee," #07 retorted.

"Because of that they were considered defective and were disposed of," finished #13.

"So, we were at a dump?" #11 asked.

"In a matter of speaking, yes."

"So, anything interesting happen while we were gone?" asked #07.
