After Gold returned from the mess hall he crashed in his bed wanting to sleep. His injury wasn't hurting anymore, but Yellow told him he should rest a few more days. It's been 2 weeks since then and he was growing restless. Ruby took over his position as the postman and would often complain about the dust. Gold was snapped out of his thoughts when the door crashed open.
"Hey Gold! The major called for you." said Red.
"Thanks man. I'll go now." said Gold as he got up and walked. Once he reached the infirmary he knocked and entered. Inside he saw Yellow putting her ustensiles in cabinets for the night.
"Uh...major? You called for me?" said Gold
"Hmm? Oh! Gold! Yes, it's time to change your bandage. Take a seat." He nodded and stood on a chair. Yellow took a pair of scissors and cut the bandage, letting it fall on the floor.
"Hmm, it seems to be healing nicely... Does it hurt if I touch it here?" said Yellow as she poked a more inflamed section.
"Sssh, it stings a little..." said Gold. Yellow nodded, she turned around and took an unguent. She applied it on the wound and wrapped it again in bandages.
"Ok Gold, I think one more week and we can finally stop bandaging you. Sounds good?"
"Perfect!"
...
Green was standing at the training grounds, he was shooting at a target, like it killed his family or something. Ever since Red was promoted he worked his ass off to get better, in hopes of getting a promotion.
"Green..." said Blue.
"..."
"Green."
"..."
"GREEN!"
"WHAT?" Green snapped, but when he saw Blue flinch, he redressed his voice. "What is it, Blue?"
"You've been here for hours, aren't you ever gonna stop?"
"No, at least not until I get promoted."
"If you think you're getting promoted for wasting our ammunition you're stupider then I first thought."
"I'm no-" he stopped when he realized Blue was right in front of him. They stared at each other until Blue puffed her cigarette in his face. "Red got promoted because he helped save a man's life. Training will get you nowhere, but getting exhausted and collapsing on the field."
Green stared at her, he opened his mouth to argue but found he couldn't say anything. He looked at her as she exited the training grounds. "When you're done training, you know where to find me..."
Green continued shooting, but after he finished his amo, he sighed and walked towards the mess hall.
...
Ruby was standing at the top of the obstacle course's wall, he was reading a piece of paper or rather a letter. He was in such deep thought that he didn't notice Sapphire climb up next to him.
"Hey, albino hat? ya ok?" said Sapphire.
"Huh? Oh...Hey Sapph...What's up?" said Ruby.
"Well I saw ya standing here, and thought I should check on ya..."
"Oh, thanks! I'm fine just another letter from my dad..."
"Let me guess, about how Gold got promoted and ya didn't?"
"Yeah, how did you-"
"Crystal had tha same problem back when me and her were Corporals. I got promoted ta sergeant and her mom sent her a letter about how she needs ta work harder ta promote too."
Ruby looked at her surprised, then nodded. Silence fell upon them, but not the awkward kind. They just stood there and looked at the horizon.
"Hey? Sergeant? Can I borrow your blaziken?"
"Uhh...sure, but what for?"
"I don't feel like insulting a garbage can with this letter."
Sapphire stared at him before laughing. "Pffffh, I like your style Corporal!" She released her blaziken and they both watched the letter burn.
"Nice pajama, by the way." said Ruby
"Shut up!"
...
Crystal was standing in her barack, she changed her usual military uniform for a green pajama and hopped in bed. She felt pretty guilty since Gold was shot...and maybe a bit flatered? It wasn't any easier since Blue kept on literally pushing them on each other. Who even does that? In the end she fell asleep thinking about Gold.
But her dreams didn't last long as she heard a scream. Crystal jolted awake and looked out the window. The sky was orange and the base on fire. She got out of bed when she heard gunshots. She didn't have time to change so she just took her knife and ran outside.
Outside she saw a terrorist attacking wally so she ran and stabbed him in the throat.
"You ok?" asked Crystal
"Y-yes, thank you colonel." said Wally.
Crystal nodded and started running. She looked behind a wall and saw a sniper on the mess hall's roof. She knew she needed to get there, but how...how...how?
"If you want to get to the mess hall, you'll need a distraction." Crystal turned around, ready to stab but stopped when she saw it was Wally.
"I have a plan, colonel."
...
Ruby knew they were on big shit the moment he and Sapphire saw that truck. They were going to their barracks when they noticed a truck coming towards the base. At first he thought it was the mail truck, but that was impossible since Gold was still in the infirmary. That was an hour ago, now he fighting for his life, shooting with an ak47 any terrorist he saw. He was covering Sapphire, who with her Blaziken, was burning the invaders alive.
Everything was going good until a behemoth of a human flung himself at her. They wrestled each other, Sapphire trying to get him off of her and the man trying to strangle her. Ruby couldn't shoot, afraid he would hit her. He didn't know what to do. He saw the man took out a knife and was ready to stab her.
In a moment of pure rage, Ruby trew his ak47 to the side and flung himself at the man, knocking him off of Sapphire. Before the man could realize what happened, Ruby pulled out a pistol and shot him in the head, letting the man to fall limp to the ground. He then turned to Sapphire.
" *pant* You ok?" asked Ruby.
"Yeah, *pant* let's go." said Sapphire
...
Gold was quite scarred. Not for his life no, neither by the terrorist outside bringing hell on their base. No, no, what Gold was scared of was the tiny blonde next to him and Red, who was shooting with a machine gun from the infirmary's shattered window. Since he was shot, Gold mostly stayed at the infirmary. Red would visit sometimes and the 3 of them would play cards. That's what they were doing when the terrorists attacked. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heards Yellow shout "Grenade!"
Red tackled Yellow to the ground in order to protect her, while he jumped behind a table. The grenade made contact with the infirmary wall, destroying it, but luckily none of them were harmed.
"We're exposed, we need to get out of here. Gold grab the machine gun and run. I'll distract them." said Yellow.
"What about you major? You'll get killed!" said Red.
"He's right! We can't leave you here." said Gold.
"thAT WAS AN ORDER! Get out!" she shouted. Both of them flinched and took running with the machine gun, leaving Yellow behind.
...
Green was running. Running and shooting. He was in his barrack when this started. Shooting LWRC M6 gun wasn't how he expected to spend his night. He saw a woman and was about to shoot her but someone else took the shot. It was none other than Blue. She had 1 strap filled with ammunition, an ak47 on her back and 4 pistols in her belt. A man screamed when he saw the woman died and started running with a knife towards Blue. But she shoot him in the heart.
"Blue!" said Green. She did a 180 and prepared to shoot but stopped when she saw it was Green.
"Green?"
"Yeah, can you lower your weapon?" She rolled her eyes and took running. Green started following her. They ran until they reached the training grounds. In there they saw a sniper on a nearby building and a few enemies wrecking the place.
"Ok, Green I have a plan. I distract the sniper by killing his buddies while you sneak in there and kill him. Here's a grenade. Killing that sniper is a must. Got it?" said Blue.
"Got it! But what about you?" asked Green.
"Don't worry about it, this isn't the first time I did this." she said as she reloaded her gun. She took running and shoot 2 man in the back of their head. The other 4 saw her and started shooting but she jumped in the air and kicked one of them and shot 2 other. 3 other saw this and started running to help. Green saw that the sniper was reloading and took running. Before the bastard could pull the trigger, Green threw the grenade and took cover as the grenade exploded. The men Blue was fighting got distracted giving her the opportunity to finish them. When Green looked up he saw Blue painting surrounded by corpses and their blood. Her arm was bleeding. Green saw this and ripped a piece of his white undershirt. He silently wrapped the cloth around her in order to stop the bleeding.
"Thanks" she said.
...
Crystal was reluctant to let Wally go on with his plan, since the only person she knew capable of this and living was Blue, but had no other choice. He was going to act as a decoy while she entered the mess hall and kill the sniper. Wally took off running, shooting randomly with a gun, while she entered the mess hall. Surprisingly it was empty. She entered the kitchen and started climbing a ladder. She was lucky as the sniper didn't see her approach. Sadly she saw Wally getting shot in the head and fall dead to the ground. Angry she raised her knife and stabbed the sniper 2 times in the neck and 3 in the back. She stood there a bit, watched the blood drain from his body, then left.
As she was going down the ladder, a knife landed next to her. She turned around and saw Yellow was the one that threw it.
"Major!" said Crystal
"Colonel ?! I'm so glad you're ok!" said Yellow.
"Me too major, what are you doing here?"
"I was coming to see what I can do about that sniper, but it seems you took care of it."
Crystal nodded "Let's go major, this battle is far from over."
...
Gold and Red where in General Oak's office. They broke the window and were shooting with the machine gun, trying their best to imitate Yellow.
"Gold, were running out of ammunition." said Red
"And what do you want me to do, Red?" said Gold.
They were both tired, and it seemed like this night will never be over. About an hour later, they ran out of ammunition. Red and Gold were silent. They heard the door open and saw Crystal and Yellow enter the office. Yellow was holding the side of her abdomen, her pikachu pajama bloody while Crystal helped her walk.
"Major, you've been shot!" exclaimed Red.
Yellow managed a weak smile. "I've had worse."
"I need to stop the bleeding! Gold clean the table. Red help me put Yellow on it." said Crystal. They put Yellow on the table, Crystal ripped a sleeve and tied it around her stomach after she cleaned it with her other sleeve.
"Don't worry major, once this is over we're getting you to a hospital." said Gold. Yellow managed a smile and an ok sign.
"You need to stay awake major, at least until we can get you to a hospital." said Red
Crystal sighed " Yellow...Remember the first day we met? Me, you, Blue and Sapph? It was raining that day."
Yellow let a small chuckle "And lieutenant Clair refused to let us enter the barracks until we finished the course. When she finally let us in, Blue and Sapphire were arguing who gets the top bed."
"Meanwhile me and you snook behind them and took the first top beds, maan were they pissed." said Crystal
"Mhhm, and then we played pranks on each other for the rest of basics." said Yellow
Crystal kept yellow awake for the next 2h talking about their days in the basics. Eventually, the terrorists left, giving the ambulances a chance to save some of the soldiers.
...
Ruby and Sapphire were standing next to a wall with blankets on themselves. They were both looking at the mess, that their once beautiful base, has become.
"This place looks horrible but...at least we're alive." said Ruby.
"Yeah... At least we're alive to watch the sunrise." said Sapphire.
A/N: Boy did this one take me long!
