The 99th Platoon
(A/N Okay long to make up for the previous short. Let me just give you a sampling of this new chapter: the first casualties. *Dum dum DUM!* Is it your favourite Squirrel (or Tediz) they is going to shuffle off his mortal coil? Or am I just desperate for reviews? Oh the dilemma! You MUST read on!)
Chapter 10: Long time no see…
*shack-CLICK BABABABABABABAB BOOOOOOOOOOOM TAtaTATAtaTATAtaTA whoop-SHWING ca-SLINK bbbbbZZZZZZIIIIIING*
And amid the noise music could be heard.
"*thump-THUMP* IT'S MY LIIIIIIIIIFE, AND IT'S NOW OR NEEEEEEVER, 'CAUSE I AIN'T GONNA LIVE FOR EEEEVUH, IT'S MY LIIIIIIIIIFE"
After the smoke had cleared and the air, which was previously filled with Komiz blood, had settled both the platoon and the captives saw a welcome sight. Each other.
"Privates," saluted Sarge. The platoon stood at attention and saluted. Sarge smiled.
"Hey boys. Long time no see," The platoon relaxed and instantly they all began laughing and rolling around in Komiz blood for no other reason other than pure relief at their being alive.
"Hey am I spoiling a moment here? I mean…ISN'T THIS BLODDY ISLAND GOING TO EXPLODE!!! SHOULDN'T WE BE RUNNING OUT ASSES OFF? Or should we just put our heads between our knees and kiss our bums goodbye?" criticised Conker. The reality of the situation returning to the platoon the quickly took off their packs and Chael rigged the place with the explosives available. The nuclear warhead was placed in the middle of the room. Asking no questions, for their objective was now obvious, the platoon armed their weapons and ran.
It was not soon after their escape that the first resistance was encountered. A lone Komiz on patrol.
"You know these guys are really pissing me off, here give me that," said Pyst as he grabbed a grenade. He ran up to the Komiz and shoved the grenade into the beast's head via the ear canal.
"Say cheese ass,"
*BOOM*
"Alright I'm okay now," the platoon continued.
They ran in silence always looking over their shoulders with trigger fingers twitching at every turn. They were right to do so. Around the next corner they took they ran, literally, straight into a Komiz patrol. Two Komiz totted bazookas.
All Hell broke loose. The bazookas fired and opened a 5-foot hole in the floor. The platoon used the billowing smoke and fire to their advantage as they charged upon the Komiz weapons out stretched.
Squeaky, Pyst and CuMiT in his beaten and battered tank marched towards the Bazookas. Faster than the Squirrel eye could see the Komiz had swung the bazooka at the trio and sent all three crazed and extremely pissed Squirrels into the flaming hole to land on the flaming debris below.
"Squeaky!" yelled Ender, rage and pure hatred vibrating in his cry. He grabbed an arrow from his quill. Titanium laminate tipped. He leaped at the first Komiz he saw and plunged the arrow deep between his eyes making sure it passed out the other side of the head. "DIE! DIE! DIE MOTHER FUCKERS DIE!" he plunged, ripped and tore. He was blinded by rage. Squeaky his newfound friend had just been blasted into a flaming hellhole and was dead. His eyes pounded as rage started to cloud his vision and his thought.
"Ender!" a voice yelled. Ender continued to plunge his arrows deep into Komiz.
"Ender you asshole you're gonna die! Snap out of it! Snap out of it!"
A blow to the back of his head brought him to his senses. He could feel brisk slaps across his cheeks. As his eyes came back into focus he saw WWW standing over him. Viper was right behind stabbing fallen Komiz to make sure they were dead. Ender looked down at himself. His eyes widened as he saw how much damage he had taken. He had multiple bright red slashes across his chest and his right leg was at an unnatural angle. He tried to flick his tail and found that it wasn't there. Viper walked over and whipped out his last med pack. He began bandaging Ender's chest and placing his leg in a splint. He began searching for Ender's tail amongst the red and yellow blood below him. A red warning light was flashing.
"It was some fight huh?" whispered Ender. Viper nodded. "Where's everyone else?"
"I dunno, I saw Sarge, Oreos, Flatfeet and Conker retreat down those steps, I couldn't tell where everyone else went," replied WWW as he applied water to Ender's wounds. Viper came back holding what was unmistakably Ender's tail.
"This'll hurt," spoke Viper, some of the few words he ever spoke, as he leaned Ender forward. He got out duct tape and placed Ender's tail near the stump. He swiftly tied a band round Ender's tail and pulled hard pressurising the wound.
"YYYYYYYEEEEAAAAAAWWWWCCCCCHHHH!"
--else where—
"Sarge the bombs haven't gone off. They found 'em Sarge...I think...we gotta regroup before the Tediz get organized and hunt us down!" suggested Flatfeet.
"Dammit man! I just wanna go home. Where are all your boys at Sarge?" said Conker.
"There coming, don't worry..." he said clearing his throat.
"Ok then..." said Conker. He walked towards Oreos and Flatfeet. "Hey, your Sarge doesn't seem so confident, he's a clone!"
"Nah, relax. I was with him the entire time," said Oreos.
"Hey, you three, I got a game plan. Get over here," said Sarge.
"Alright, what is it Sarge?" said Flatfeet.
"Ok, Oreos, I want you to radio our boys. Once you got them all, tell 'em to go down to the basement and wait there. Me, Conker and Flatfeet will proceed ahead,"
"SIR, YES, SIR!"
"As long as I get out of here, sure," said Conker.
"Alright, let's go Conker." The three squirrels left leaving Oreos alone.
"Well, then best get on with it,"
*FFFFssssHHHHiT*
"ATTENTION ALL SOLDIERS! WE'VE GOT OUR SQUIRREL, MEET UP IN THE BASEMENT OF THE BASE, SO WE CAN GET OUR ASSES OUTTA HERE. Why are you still here? MOVE IT BOYS!"
"I hope they got that..."
--else, else where--
Gamer, Cartman, and Michael had just found Viper, WWW, Percival and Ender when their radios crackled into action.
*FFFFssssHHHHiT*
"ATTENTION ALL SOLDIERS! WE'VE GOT OUR SQUIRREL, MEET UP IN THE BASEMENT OF THE BASE, SO WE CAN GET OUR ASSES OUTTA HERE. Why are you still here? MOVE IT BOYS!"
They ran down flight after flight of steps, Ender limping along with WWW for support.
--else, else, else where--
Chael had heard Oreos' message and had gotten straight to work.
"Okay Stealth, here, over there, yeah there that's it, here and right here, can you do it?" asked Chael.
"Do Tediz suck?" replied Stealth as he drew his katana from its shaft.
"No they blow." Both Squirrels began laughing at their own joke. The laughter died down as Stealth started the task Chael had assigned. He leaped into the air and landed with all his body weight onto the first point that Chael had pointed out. And the next. And the next. And the next. The linoleum floor was easily peeled back by Chael. He placed his last block of C4 in the hole. He set the fuse and stepped back
--else, else where--
Gamer, Cartman, Michael, WWW, Percival and Ender they had just reached the basement when Percival stopped abruptly.
"Let's get…" started Michael.
"Shhh. Can't you hear that?" asked Percival.
*deet, deet, deet, DEET*
"BOMB!" they all yelled as they hit the deck. As the smoke cleared the 2 metre sized hole in the ceiling became visible. Stealth flipped through and landed with expertise and grace. Chael landed…with not as much grace.
"Hey dudes. We found a short cut to the basement," he said as he rubbed his backside.
The rest of the platoon arrived momentarily. Sarge stood apart from the platoon as they caught up on what happened and what they should do. Suddenly in walked in…
"Pyst? CuMiT? Holy shit! Guys they're alive!" yelled Cartman. The two charred figures stood in the doorway to the basement with matching smiles on their faces. They looked as though they had the time of their life.
"Sarge! I forgot to mention it before we were ambushed way back by the prison cells but I called HQ and the choppers should be on their way right about now sir!" yelled Pyst.
Ender walked towards them. CuMiT and Pyst's smiles faded.
"Wh…where's Squeaky?" asked Ender, his voice chocking.
"Ahh…umm…we…he…he didn't come out of the…eh…" started Pyst.
"…the wreckage. Yeah," finished CuMiT. An eerie silence followed broken by Cartman.
"Sarge? What now?" There was no response. "Sarge?" The platoon turned to look at Sarge who had remained surprisingly quiet. Sarge's eyes suddenly lit up with what was unmistakeably rage.
"NOW YOU ALL DIE!" he screamed as he drew twin CMP150s.
"Sarge, like, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?" yelled Gamer.
"Oh shit, he's a clone," said Michael.
"No shit Sherlock," said "Sarge". He aimed the weapons at Oreos.
"Ah crap, why do I always go first?"
*BLAM*
He fell to the floor.
*KA-BANG*
Conker shot the clone through the eyes. They all huddled around Oreos.
"Great. What the Hell are we gonna do now?" whined Pyst.
*KWAAAA-KWAAAA-KWAAA: INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT, ALL SECURITY TO THE BASEMENT KWAAAA-KWAAAA*
A large group of both Tediz and Komiz entered the basement each with an AK47 on full arm. All the Squirrels were taken away as Oreos lay motionless on the floor. As the security was leaving one lone Tediz detached from the main unit.
"Sometimes looks can be deceiving," mumbled WWW as he picked up Oreos and made his way down to the beach.
