The next morning came as a rude awakening.
"WHAT IS YOUR MOTHAFUCKING MALFUNCTION, DISEASE!!!!!" Shockwave jerked awake and fell off the top bunk, hitting the floor hard, his injured shoulder hammering into the floor first.
"Son of a...." Shockwave muttered as a hand grabbed him roughly by the collar and lifted him onto his feet. Looking up, he found himself less than an inch from Beach Head's face.
"What tha hell is your issue, Shockwave?!"
"Can you be more specific? According to rumor I have many." Shockwave replied with a smile...."Wait, did I just say that?" he thought..
"Did you just grow a sense of humor on me!?"
"Not at all, sir."
"SIR!? Do you see anything on mah uniform that indicates an officer?! I work for a living!
"No, I did not grow a sense of humor, Sgt. Beach Head!" Shockwave replied.
"Good. Now why did you beat up Lootenant Falcon without mah permission?!" Beach Head demanded.
"I was preventing him from harming Corporal Ji...."
"Ah know that, insect!!! Why was Ah not invited!? Ah've been wanting to kick that Green Beret's punk bitch ass since he was assigned to mah bailiwick." Beach Head grabbed Shockwave by the shirt and jerked him closer. "And you FUBARed that, boy. So now you are going to make it up ta me."
Laughter erupted from one of the bunk, causing Beach Head to stalk over to the bunk and pull the occupant out of bed.
"You get to join him, you reject from 'Stripes'! Ah hope you wrote your mommy, Hit & Run, because all she'll see of you is what Ah can cram into a sandwich bag! Any more of you have any comments?" Beach Head looked around the bunkhouse. When no one answered, he continued. "Ah thought not. Now get your sorry asses to tha gym and wait for me while Ah decide how exactly Ah'm going to make your sorry little lives a living hell."
"We're screwed." Hit & Run moaned as he got dressed.
"Quit your bitching, Hit & Run, we're both stuck with this." Shockwave snapped while he pulled on his clothes.
"Well you're the one who beat up Falcon. Which was really cool by the way."
"You're right."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Shockwave replied. "We're both screwed."
The two men walked to the gym and waited for Beach Head to arrive.
"Get off of your sorry ass, Hit & Run!" the drill sergeant shouted as he entered. Shockwave and Hit & Run snapped to attention.
"Now Ah was thinking what Ah could do ta you both ta ruin your pathetic so called lives and Ah've come up with it. You two ladies get ta have some hand-to-hand combat with yours truly. Get your asses in tha ring now!" Once they were in the ring, Beach Head snapped, "Which one of you ladies is up first?"
"I've got him!" Hit & Run shouted. "So what are the rules?" he asked as Shockwave climbed out of the ring.
"There are none, disease." Beach Head replied as he slammed his forehead into Hit & Run's head, spinning him to the ground. Grabbing him by the collar, Beach Head threw him into the ropes and clotheslined Hit & Run on the rebound. Shockwave grimaced as Beach Head slammed his knee into Hit & Run's stomach....
"What's going on?" Muskrat asked as Hit & Run kicked Beach Head in the stomach, allowing the drill sergeant to grab the leg and throw him into the corner post.
"I have to fight Beach Head once he's done killing Hit & Run." Shockwave replied as Hit & Run landed a one two punch, knocking Beach Head back.
"Why?" Muskrat asked as Hit & Run pressed the advantage and kicked Beach Head in the side.
"I beat up Falcon before Beach Head could."
"So.... you get to fight Beach Head?" Muskrat asked.
"Yeah." Shockwave replied as Hit & Run flew back into the ropes and tumble backwards over them, landing hard on the floor.
"Aooowwww....." Hit & Run moaned "You're up, Shockwave..."
"You heard tha boy, Shockwave." Shockwave nodded to Beach Head as Muskrat backed out of the room and ran for the lounge. Bursting through the doors, he shouted breathlessly...
"Beach Head is fighting Shockwave in the gym!! No rules!!" All the Joes in the room turned quickly.
"No shit!"
"Now?"
"Yeah, come on!" Muskrat shouted as he headed back for the gym, followed by the rest...Jinx followed along, a bit concerned Shockwave was going to end up in the infirmary for helping her out.... but she knew something the others didn't, which caused her to smile.
"So, you ready for your ass stomping, boy?" Beach Head sneered.
"No rules, right?"
"You heard me, no rules, disease."
Shockwave nodded "Okay......"
"WHAT IS YOUR MOTHAFUCKING MALFUNCTION, DISEASE!!!!!" Shockwave jerked awake and fell off the top bunk, hitting the floor hard, his injured shoulder hammering into the floor first.
