Chapter 5
"Well Corporal Marty and Private Michael, your bravery in the previous battle is quite extraordinary. The ground forces there have managed to hold a key position and if they managed to get through we would be in deep shit." General Carter proudly exclaimed.
"So we are supposed to be fucking proud that we managed to stop the Zergs, but losing thousands of soldiers in the process. So we were all expected to die out there you fucking idiot? That's great our own government wants us dead." Corporal Marty shouted.
"Get back in line Corporal. I don't deny that we expected you to die, but we expect all soldiers to follow orders and that is exactly what you did." General Carter stated with an aura of superiority.
"I don't believe this fucking shit. We were basically sent to our deaths while you fat, lazy, ass bastards stay here. What the fuck is that?" Corporal Marty said with retaliation. His face was masked in anger and I could tell he was not in a very good mood.
"Look here Corporal, I'm sorry about what happened back there, but we also follow orders from a higher power and I regret what happened there. However, your behavior now is intolerable and if you continue, you will be punished according to the law." General Carter said with a tone of finality.
"What crime am I doing now General, I'm just stating my opinion and the facts. There is a law of freedom of speech if you haven't figured it out yet." Corporal Marty fired back with defiance.
"You're committing treason by questioning our orders, you are not obeying the commands of a superior officer and if you don't stop now Corporal you will be arrested and be put on trial." General Carter stated with his face masked in fury for being defied for the first time in his life.
"Corporal stop, you don't want to make things worse with the General. Calm yourself down." I stated trying to calm down Corporal Marty.
"Sorry about that General, I guess I'm still shocked at what happened yesterday." Corporal Marty apologized.
"Apology accepted, Corporal but don't let that happen again. Now your next set of orders is to report to a military base located right outside of our capitol. If our capitol falls we lost the war and I don't think humanity would think kindly to that. This military base must not fall to the Zergs, do you understand me?" General said with a tone of desperation.
"Roger that, General." Corporal Marty and I replied.
"My next set of orders is to promote both of you. Your bravery and valor from the previous battle will not go unseen. Corporal, you will be promoted to Captain and you are to report to the Wraith Pilot base where you will be trained to fly a Wraith. Private Michael you are promoted to the Corporal status and will be issued new weapons and armor and be the leader of your own toon." General Carter stated.
"Thank you, General." We both stated.
"That is all men, you are to take the next transport out of here and to your new positions." General Carter stated then went back to his office.
"Roger that General." We both stated.
"Ok, Corporal Michaels lets get the next transport out of here." Said Captain Marty.
We boarded the transport filled with marines and were off to our new destination. We soon arrived at our new base called Overland and were taken to be fitted with new arsenal. It felt awkward to be holding a flamethrower. It was a lot heavier then the rifle and I knew I would be at a disadvantage if this was a long range type of battle. Captain Marty was not being outfitted with armor or a weapon, but was being briefed on what pilot training was going to be about.
"Captain Marty, good luck with your training and I hope we meet again in the near future." I said shaking his hand.
"Yea Corporal take care of yourself." And with those words Captain Marty was off to train to become a pilot.
I slowly walked to my barracks and saw my new toon. It consisted of 4 marines and I could tell that all 4 haven't fought in a battle before. I stepped into my assigned room and slowly went in.
"Reporting for duty, Private Bean, Private Antes, Private Burt, and Private James." All 4 chorused at once.
I nodded at them to show my approval.
"At ease Privates. My name is Corporal Michael and I will be your toon leader. I expect discipline, courage and bravery from all 4 of you. Understand me Privates!?" I shouted.
"Yes, Corporal." They replied.
"Talk is cheap, and not worth anything. Lets see what you guys are going to be saying tomorrow evening. Lights are out at 9 P.M. and I expect you to wake up at 5 A.M. in the morning to begin your training. I am going to turn you sack of worthless idiots to trained killing machines." I shouted back.
By now the Privates were terrified of me and that is what I wanted.
"Tomorrow the real training begins, ladies." With that final statement I walked out the door and into my own room.
The next morning I woke up early at about 5 and went for a walk across the large military base. I could tell why General Carter would be scared if this base was overrun. The capitol was about 100 miles from here and if this base was destroyed then nothing would stop the Zergs from reaching the capitol. No one was up yet and I could see bits of pink in the sky as the sun was coming up. I made my way back to barracks and promptly at 6 I went into my toon's quarters.
Out of the 4 none of them were awake yet.
"Obviously, you ladies don't take me seriously when I specifically told you guys to wake up every morning promptly at 6. All 4 of you put your asses to the floor and give me 200 push-ups." I said a bit ticked off.
"What, do 200 push-ups now! Are your fucking crazy!" Private Bean retaliated.
"What was that Private Bean. Do I hear defiance from an idiot Private that wants to do 1000 push-ups right now." I shot back.
"You don't have the authority to make me do anything." With that statement he tried to walk out the door.
I grabbed him from the back and threw him on the floor before he could reach the door.
I pulled my pistol out and pointed at him.
"If you don't drop and give me 1000 push-ups now I'm gonna shoot you so your body is gonna be filled with holes." I replied to his defiance really mad now.
Private Bean had a look of horror on his face and so did everyone else in the room.
"You 4 listen to me. This is a fucking war not a little video game. If you guys are not prepared for the upcoming battle, then we all are going to die. I am going to prepare whether you like it or not. Now drop and give me 200 push-ups. Private Bean will do 1000.
Hours Later
Except for Private Bean, the other 3 finished early and went off to get breakfast and get ready for drill. Private Bean was exhausted, but his pride wouldn't let me have the pleasure to mock him for being weak. He finished and collapsed down on the floor.
"Now Private Bean, the next time you defy me, your punishment is going to hurt more and be harder then this. Mark my words, you are excused to get breakfast. Oops never mind breakfast is over I meant lunch." With those words I walked out the door.
