Author's note: Kain - thank you for your encouraging review, but i'm afraid i deleted it with the 2nd copy of that story. could you do me a flavor and repost it on the other copy?
"Hut! Hut! Hut!" Came a booming voice. Lieutenant Masterson said EARLY but 12:05??
Before Eric could get out of bed the voice said "APRIL FOOLS!" Eric realized it was Mack Hollander getting in his two bits
"Mack, go to bed!!" shouted Marc and the tired newbies all fell back asleep, except for Eric and Mack. Mack was writing a letter, on his bedside table, so eric picked up his 'nocs (Binoculars) that he got for x-mas and took a peek at mack's letter. It said "Heya, hotstuff" 'ooh,' thought eric sarcastically 'A regular Don Quixote'"They've finaly realized I'm the world's greatest soilder, even though they appointed Eric Squad leader," Oh yeah, I forgot to tell ya, they appointed Eric Squad leader, AS IF! "Lookin' foreward ta seein' ya next week, sorry I can't talk longer, gotta go.
XOXOXOXO,
Big Mack
"Mack!" called Eric in his best femanine voice
"Baby! he answered back
Marc sniggered into his pillow, apparently still awake. "Hey Marc, Get a load of this!" Eric whispered hoarsely. He handed Marc his 'nocs, Marc focused on Mack's letter, every bit of it, then gave the 'nocs back to Eric and slammed his face down in his pillow, gagging his laughter, then wrote on a piece of paper;
Huked Awn Fonix Messd me upp!
Marc laughed, then he wrote;
5/4 people have trouble with fractions
Eric laughed harder, then wrote;

How to keep an idiot busy
They both laughed, then Eric suggested "let's go to bed."
So they did.
THE NEXT DAY, 5:22 AM
"RED ALERT!" came lieutenant mastersons voice over the intercom "THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I REPEAT, RED ALERT!"
Eric looked through his handbook and checked over RED ALERT, That meant NOD troops were invading! Eric grabbed his Raptor magnum and his ammo vest, he fastened the vest, ran outside and saw a sight. NOD apc's had just overrun the chain link fence, the first one flipped around, and dropped the back hatch, which landed on a mine and killed its crew of 6 (5 rocket troops and the driver) STUPID ME! I also forgot to mention that the soilders get the choice of A raptor magnum or a wolfram P2K, and the choice of 5 grenades a week (Frag, sticky, Nerve Gas, Stun, Chaff) Eric took 1 of each, and a tazer is standard issue, in 10 stylish colors! Eric got tie-die, (Of orange, lime green, and glow in the dark). The others stopped and ceased fire, and a loaded convoy came slowly thru. Eric starred in horror and yelled "DEMO TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It was a Sub-Atomic, remote controled, Kamikaze. It piloted slowly around base, then ETC and co. decided to be heros, Marc jumped into the cab, and prepared for a manual overide, Rugget jumped into the back, and started calibrating the warheads, and Eric grabbed Kris' skateboard, lay down on it and rolled under the truck. They turned on their 3 way walkie-talkies
"Marcaroni, reporting in" came Marc's voice
"Rugetta, Reporting Een" came Rugget's voice
"Etcetera, reporting in!" yelled eric into his WT
"Preparing for manual overide, progress report 34%, over" said marc
"Le Warhead regristration number activity confirmed!! Over"
"And? Over" said eric
"They are active, over"
'Damn,' thought Eric
"Manual overide sucessful! Over" said Marc.
The truck came to a halt, and eric started hotwiring the truck,
"These Demo trucks have messed up wiring" thought Eric,
"let's see, red to green, yellow to blue, all to black" thought eric, suddenly a huge jolt surged through eric, at first he thought it was a shock troop, but it was the wires,
"Hotwire sucessful, Awaiting instructions, Over"
"Well," came lieutenant masterson's voice over the WT, To the war factory, we could use these."
So he did.
The truck lurched foreward, and the roar of the .55m from the NOD went 'whack, whack, whack, whack, THUNK, whack' then Rugget thumped down just above Eric
"I'm Heet! I'm Heet! OVER!!" cried Rugget
"Where?? Over" asked Marc
"Left quadricep, noot (No, that's not a typo) serious, over!"
The truck lurched to a stop out front of the war factory, and 2 mammoth tanks roared to life inside, and came crashing through the steel clad door and fired missiles at the retreating apc's and AA missiles screaming through the air, tearing its way to the Hi-Jacked hind D with the nod symbol printed on its side
Lieutenant Masterson Shouted and pointed behind it, it was some sort of flying saucer, almost like... like... like NOD's description of their "next generation aircraft" and this meant the brotherhood wasn't bluffing, and they really did have an alien craft stashed somewhere, and GDI had to find it. but it might be awhile. The "Banshee", as eric had read on the side of the unknown craft, made a loop around, probably going for the mammoth tanks, whose radar didn't detect it, but it colided with the hind-D, sending the two flaming to the ground, coliding, and creating a gigantic explosion, with bolts extruding from it, because of the Banshee's plasma cannons, one of the bolts struck the spot where Marc was standing, sending him barreling into the air, and hit the ground.
"MARC!" shouted Eric, sprinting in his direction. He stopped at Marc, and checked him for injuries, his leg was slightly charred, but not too badly. In all the frenzy, Eric didn't see the banshee pilot, screaming, and in flames, running around, he sacked eric, putting him a blazing headlock, Eric immediately reached for his raptor, feeling the incredible heat pulsing against his head, it made him remember his father's words "Kill, or be killed, it all depends on how fast you act" He fired3 shots into his side "Crack! Crack! Crack!" then 2 into his neck "Snak! Krak!" then he fell to the ground and knew no more... ... ... ...
