CHAPTER 3

Yuu looked down the sights, shot his first shot and watched his mark hit far right of the target. "The sights off and isn't even aligned properly, and the trigger gets stuck mid-

way sometimes..." thought Yuu who felt the trigger. He tried aiming again and then, shot. This time it was an inch off from the left. He sighed, hearing a couple of shots

already coming from TRIG as some of the crew members cheered. "He's Delta right?" asked RATZASS. A few members shrugged. Yuu took a deep breath and looked down his

sights, adjusted his aim, and shot. This time he hit his target dead center, then another a second later when his target popped up. TRIG had already taken down nine of her

targets, all dead center. Yuu knew she was a good sniper, but having to go up against her was almost overwhelming. She had precision; each shot hit its mark, the focus of

not letting anything bother her. Yuu wasn't doing too bad himself as he finally corrected his shooting, making most of his shots count, making a few of the crew members who

were watching, nod in approval. The two were almost in sync seconds later, to what seemed like it was TRIG going against herself, both taking down their targets at the same

time and pace with both of their shots going off at the same time. The buzzer finally went off with Yuu and TRIG climbing down the ladder. "Still, QUEEN OF THE RANGE,

TRIG!" shouted BUG SPRAY, hugging TRIG. Yuu looked at the score board. TRIG had twenty-eight hits and no misses, while Yuu had twenty-three hits but two misses, making

his total twenty-one. Mech nodded and gave a thumbs up towards Yuu as he passed by him. ICY BLONDE walked over to TRIG and gave her a high-five. "Got twenty-three

against TRIG huh, not bad D." spoke a voice.

DAUGHERTY came into the firing range along with a few a pale looking fellow who wore tattoos on his body codenamed HOLY MAN. DAUGHERTY looked over at TRIG. "He's

Delta alright. Even with a rigged sniper, he managed to keep up with me, almost." Replied TRIG. "So? What does everyone else think?" asked DAUGHERTY. Everyone else

seem to nod. "Good, carry on." Said DAUGHERTY, walking away. The others seem to do the same with a few of them patting Yuu on the back. After a few hours with the crew,

Yuu went to his room and decided to take a quick nap but was interrupted with a knock on the door. He got up and spoke. "Go ahead, doors unlocked." Spoke Yuu, hoping he

wouldn't have to walk over and unlock the door himself. The door opened and in front of him was TRIG. Even though he spent time with the crew of K-12, he barely talked to

TRIG or BUG SPRAY, not that he didn't want to, just that they were always by themselves and sometimes he would find them arguing while walking to his quarters. "You're a

good shot." Spoke TRIG, standing next to the door. Yuu didn't want to speak nor have a conversation with her, he just wanted her to leave him alone. TRIG continued to stay

where she was, looking around the room. Yuu sighed. "You're better." Replied Yuu. "Hitting stationary targets vs the ones that move, is different." Said TRIG. Yuu couldn't help

but smirk. "Sorry about the rigged gun, it was HERO's idea to see who we can rely on." Spoke TRIG. "HERO?" asked Yuu. "The captain of this unit. Or was, until he was

arrested by someone named Carls." Said TRIG. "At Fort Casey right?" asked Yuu. "I'm surprised you know that." She said. The conversation ended with someone calling her

name. "Gotta go, it was nice talking." She before taking her leave.

The next week, Yuu got to know most of the crew well enough, while things with TRIG and BUG SPRAY didn't seem to go as well as they barely talked to each other. TRIG was

seen more hanging out with ICY BLONDE as BUG SPRAY was with the other guys. The next day, DAUGHTERY told the unit that they were going to board a ship that sent a

SOS and the unit was to rescues any survivors and kill any bugs on board. Their ETA about 18 hours. That night, Yuu a knock came from the door. "Go ahead." Spoke Yuu,

getting up. No response, but another knock, this time, softer than the last. He sighed and opened the door from inside. In front of him stood TRIG, smiling at him. "Did I wake

you?" she asked. "Anything you need?" asked Yuu, not sure why she came to his quarters again. "Can I come inside this time?" TRIG asked. Yuu remembered the time where

they talked and forgot she was standing the whole they were talking. "You're already here." Replied Yuu. And with that, she took her first step into the room, looking around

while Yuu sat back on bed. "You always sleep with a weapon?" asked TRIG who spotted Yuu's sword next to his bed. "Can't be too careful." Said Yuu and TRIG at the same

time. She smiled. "Not many carry a sword. Mostly because you'll die before you even use it." Said TRIG. "May I see it?" she added. Yuu handed over his sword to TRIG and

spoke "Every mission its due or die, what's a sword got to do with it?" asked Yuu. TRIG looked at the sword. "It's beautiful, I can see you take care of this." and followed up

with a question. "How many bugs have you killed with it so far?" Yuu sighed to himself. "Forgot, it's been with me for as long as I remember." He paused for a bit, then

continued. "In my first mission, my squad told me it was crazy that I carried a sword into battle, overheard some of them saying, He's gonna be bug meat. And they were

right." "What happened?" asked TRIG.

"My squad was ambushed. I had no ammo left and only two of us were left alive. I was ready to die fighting. About ten minutes later, John…someone found me barely with

just my sword in my hand..I should've died that day along with the rest of my squad." Said Yuu. "I don't know how many bugs I killed that day with the sword, but pretty

much after that, I never left a mission without my sword. I then later met up with delta squad leader Tom and from there…" added Yuu. "My first squad leader told me it was

suicidal to bring a sniper into the battle field on my first mission." Spoke TRIG. "But as soon as they saw how many kills I got with it, they just didn't say anything else." She

continued. "My town made weapons, and my sniper was personally built for me from my parents before the bugs came and destroyed my town and killed everyone, that's

why I swore to kill as much bugs as I can." "At least you have a reason to drive you to keep killing bugs." Said Yuu. TRIG looked over at Yuu and asked. "What's your reason?"

Yuu was taken by surprise. Every mission he went was just, kill, get the mission done and repeat. Of course, everyone was doing their part to end this war, he couldn't say

that. This was the first time anyone has genuinely asked his what he was fighting for. After a brief pause, TRIG spoke. "It's getting late, we should get some rest for the

mission tomorrow." She handed Yuu back his sword and walked towards the door. "It's Yuu..my names Yuu." Said Yuu. TRIG looked back and smiled. "My names Tia…but

everyone calls me TRIG, you can call me Tia if you like..Good night, Yuu." She added before leaving the door. Yuu smirked and said. "Nice smile." Before drifting off to sleep.
