Time: 10:15 am
Place: Target Range (Grit's Hangout)
"Hmm. . . well, here's the target range, where's Grit?" Sami said as she looked around an empty looking field, with a mass of broken up targets in a pile on the side, and some large tables with chairs. Mel just shrugged with his friends and Andy turned to see Sonja looking at him.
"Ehh? Sonja?" he said with a somewhat worried look.
"You are so cute!" she said grinning, as she turned away and ran off to sit with Sami. Andy just stood looking really confused. Mel walked up to him.
"See? Told you she likes you. But anyways, don't let that get to you yet. We have a long way to go."
"But, I um, er, I - "
"Just forget it. Class hasn't started yet and we're bored. We're gonna blast some targets."
"Okay, I'm gonna see what Sami's up to." He turned and ran off to see his cousin, who was talking with some of her friends that she hadn't seen in a while.
"So anyways, he invited me over for breakfast and"
"Hey! It's ANDY! Come on girls! Let's see if we can get his autograph!" One of the girls, now with an entourage dashed towards the now shocked Andy and started crowding around him. Sonja sat pouting as those girls were surrounding HER Andy. Well not really HER Andy yet, but still, she had a feeling that Mel might cook up some scheme to have him waiting on her hand and foot anyways. Mel however was busying himself, by loading his gun and firing off rounds at the hanging targets.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
"Nice shot! But listen up kid, you shouldn't try too hard." Came a voice from the back of the room.
"Hmm? Oh! It's Grit! Hey, I'm one of the best shots around." Mel said, as he turned. The tall and lanky officer with a broad hat, just grinned and looked up at the targets that were demolished by Mel's gun and the ones with a large amount of knives stuck in them. Mel gave a shrug and turned again, taking aim with his gun and shot. In turn, the rest of the class turned and watched as well. Mel's normal relaxed gaze changed to a more concentrated one, as the bullet transformed to an energy blast, ripping through the target and incinerating it.
"What in tarnation!?" Grit just looked slack-jawed, as well as the rest of the class.
"There, happy? I never liked having to do that, but oh well. It's nice to know what your opponent can do, eh?" Mel dusting off his gun, re-holstered it and took a seat next to Andy.
"Umm. Right! Well, that goes to show how strong some of you are!" Grit said chuckling nervously, with Mel's patient gaze drilling into his skull. 'Good God, what is up with that guy? I reckon that he's dangerous. But, wait. . . Sonja's sittin' right next to him. . . could it be? That guy's the one I replaced two years ago? Could be, he looks just like the picture of the one I saw in her room. Heck. . . she said he was good, but this good?' Grit shook his head, then noticed Sonja and waved slightly. She returned it with a cute smile and she turned around to talk to her friends. Grit continued, "Well, sorry bout that slight delay, but I had to deal with some things first. But now, I'm gonna explain to some of you the basics of indirect combat. The best, I reckon. Now, as you've seen some of your classmates already done gone killed half of my targets, it's high time you're all gonna help me put up some new ones." The classes gaze turned to Gabe, who was busy pulling about another twenty knives out of the one target on the table.
"Don't like using guns, sharp and pointy projectiles are more useful." He said shrugging. The rest of the class decided to leave him alone. Grit, then drew attention back to himself by blasting the targets with his gun.
"Dagnabit! Pay attention! Now, since this is yer first class, I'm gonna explain that the basics are shown mostly through simulation battles. This range here is just for y'all who like to shoot junk. The rest of it is based on knowledge of how far artilleries can shoot and how much damage they do to certain units, on a base standard. So it ain't gonna be on how strong you are, or they are. Just a base. Now, I'll demonstrate, so pay attention to the vid-screen." Grit turned on the equipment, but it slightly sputtered, so he kicked it. "Stupid hunka junk! There! This is the basic battle field, with all terrains. There are also every unit available, shown here. So, first we're gonna show you how indirect units work. . ." The class trailed on until practically everything was blown up. . .
Time: 11:30 am
Place: Open fields (Max's direct combat pitch)
The crew separated and headed to their classes. Gabe and Gary turned over to Intel: Techno basics, while our heroes went over to the plains, where a bunch of tanks, both new and old where sitting quietly in the fields. Max was over at the vid-screens, walking about. Mel and Andy quickly looked over at the muscle-bound officer and decided to stay in his good books. Sami and Sonja just looked around at the 'battlefield' and shrugged as they seated themselves next to the guys.
"Alright! As your first instructors may have already explained to you, most of the courses are based on whatever the heck they said, you have to demonstrate your abilities and knowledge. So, I'm just gonna go through and tell you about direct units and their abilities, just like your last teacher about whatever the heck it was." Max grinned while cracking his knuckles, then turned on the vid-screen. Mel sighed as he realized that this might take a while. So he rested his head on his bag and was about to go to sleep until Sami smoked him in the head.
"What are you doing? Honestly, can't you even pay attention?" She said looking at him peculiarly.
"Please don't bother me Sami. I'm not in the mood to argue with even you. This is such a bore, so excuse me." He turned to ignore, only to get smoked by Sonja.
"Nii-chan! Baka! Zakennayo! You really shouldn't zone out and you shouldn't ignore someone who's talking to you! It's rude!"
"Why do you all continue to annoy me? Please, I probably know most of what's going on, just like you Sonja." Sonja just rolled her eyes, then decided that he was partially right. She turned her eyes over to the screen and chose to look at Andy instead.
'Hmm, he is so cute. But why is he so clueless? Is he oblivious to my attentions? Oh. . . I wish Mel would hurry up and hook us up. But it looks like Sam-chan is quite stubborn and cold towards most guys. Maybe. . . just maybe. . .once I get hooked up with Andy, we can scheme up a way to get those two together. With my genius and his charm, did I think that? Oh my, I've never really talked to him, but I'm so, so infatuated by him. I hope that he thinks the same.' Meanwhile Andy was having some thoughts after learning about the basics of destroying tanks and other units.
'Why on earth is she staring at me like that? Well, Mel's face down on his bag, and Sami's looking over at the screen, bored. But why, why is that girl looking at me? Just because I helped her get changed that day, she's acting all funny. Calling me cute and stuff everyday, sheesh. But if I think about it, she's pretty too. There must be some plan to it. But, but. . . oh well, I can't be single all the time, or those girls might rip me apart. I hate the fame, yet I love it. . . the money too! But how Sami's never financially stable is beyond me. Heck, I dunno if I have enough to pay off the house. But at least I've got my pal there to deal with some things. But as of now, this is pretty cool, watching how you can blow up stuff. Oh, hmm. . . come to think of it, a lot of girls are looking at me. But Sonja, that Sonja, her gaze is like piercing into my head. . . creepy. But, on the other hand, she finds even my rudeness cute. And she finds ME cute in general. I maybe should say something to her. How would, 'You're really cute too!' no, no. 'How about lunch?' naw, damn, I stink at pick-up lines. And they call me a singer. Geez, it's a shame. I wonder if she's even heard of my band?' His thoughts were interrupted, by Max's call,
"Alright, now who can tell me the normal amount of damage that a base Mid Tank can do to a base regular tank?" Everyone's arm shot up, except for Mel and Andy's. Mel because he wasn't paying attention, and Andy because he had no clue. . .
Time: Lunch
Place: Cafeteria
The day had dragged so long, yet it was only noon. Sami was relatively still energetic, but not really. Sonja's attention span was already less than half and the remainder of it was on, of course, Andy. Andy's eyes were rolling around as he played with his food. Mel, shaking his head, grabbed his mocha and downed it in one go.
"Ugh. . . I don't think I can take this." Andy said as he stared at the pattern on the table.
"Yeah, I need chocolate. . . Mel, can you buy me one of those?" Sami pointed at the now empty cup that he'd just finished. He raised an eyebrow,
"Why?"
"Because." She said making a sweet face.
"What?" 'Oh my god, is she flirting with me?' he thought.
"Because, you're so nice. And it's good to be nice to girls." 'Man, this guy doesn't get the message does he?' She said to herself.
"Umm . . ."
"Come on nii-chan! Be nice to my friend! Please?" Sonja said with the 'puppy dog eyes' look.
"Oh, all right, I'll buy everyone then." 'Dammit! The puppy dog eyes! Funny how almost no one can resist those.' He mused.
"Yay!" Sami said smiling. She was in desperate need of chocolate and possibly any other food there was. "Andy? Can I have some money?"
"Aiya! Don't you ever have any cash?" He said groaning through his teeth.
"How about I don't kill you now?" She said through HER teeth.
"Okay! Okay! I give! How's about 50 bucks?" He said with much dread, as he quickly scrabbled for his wallet.
"That would be nice, in change though. Ok?" Her pretty smile returned as she winked at Sonja, who was relatively shocked.
"Sam-chan! That's not really nice! Is this the only way you get any cash? From Andy?"
"Yeah. . . he's the one with all of it. We used to have quite a bit when my parents were alive and his parents were alive. But after those Blue Moon attacks, we lost the cars and my house. I managed to scrape up what remained of my stuff, most of which wasn't destroyed. But, for the past couple years, the government was taking care of the orphaned teens. We managed to get a place in Lost Fortress. Nice view and stuff. But, most of my possessions were from Andy. He paid for most of our things, but even his with his fame, not everyone has enough money to buy his records, so we're kinda stuck somewhere. But tell me about how come Mel's got so much?"
"Well, nii-chan was part of a rich business family, but he himself despised it. Something like those department store buildings or so. He also traveled a lot to Comet with his parents, but they like yours were killed. But since, he had such a strong foundation with the business, he's rather well off. But I still never been to his house. It's really nice he says. Probably because of the region he's in too."
"Wow. . . he's rich to boot. Well that explains the car."
"What do you mean? I have a car too!" Sonja said pouting.
"Ehh? You never said so." Sami said with some surprise.
"You never asked." Sonja said with a final shrug. She turned her attentions to Andy, yet again. "Andy, how are you?"
"Huh? Oh, I'm good Sonja." He looked up from the plate of rice he had in front of him. Most of it was eaten, but the remainder was being poked and pushed by his fork.
"What do you like in girls, Andy?"
"Umm. . ." His panic was then interrupted by Mel's return.
"Here's a mocha for everyone. Does ANY-one else want anything?"
"No thanks Mel. This should keep me going for the rest of the day. Are you gonna drink that Andy?"
"No. . ."
"Good." Sami then downed Andy's drink after her own. Sonja was pouting slightly, mainly because Mel had just interrupted her conversation with Andy. Andy, however was silently thanking every possible deity there was, that his friend had returned and saved him from the fate of talking to a girl.
"Nii-chan, can I talk to you privately?" Sonja got up, picked up her coffee and dragged Mel over to a corner.
"Yeah? What's the matter?"
"Why doesn't Andy notice me?" She said with a slight frown, and a quiver in her voice. Mel looked at her worriedly. He didn't really want to hurt her, yet, he needed to explain to her that Andy was an oblivious airhead.
"Er. . . well, Andy is just kinda ignorant or something. . . let me talk to him. But one thing, you two just met a couple of days ago. Before that, you probably never heard of him then right?"
"Yeah. I guess so. I never thought of that. I guess you can't rush things like this."
"That's right. Give it a few months or so. Then maybe, just maybe he'll notice you. (If not, Sonja-chan, I'll deal with him, so that no matter what, his eyes will be riveted to you!)"
"Oh my. You don't have to go that far."
"I might, if he doesn't."
"Heh. If you insist nii-chan. But be nice to him alright. I'd like to date him in one piece."
"If you say so then. I'll still watch out for you though. If he hurts you. I'll. . ." She placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, you don't need to do anything, if he hurts ME, I'll teach him a lesson he never forgets."
"Hmph. Alright then." He said laughing. The two walked back to where their friends were waiting. Ready and somewhat recharged to make it to the next class.
Time: After Lunch
Place: Intelligence office
Sonja led the way to her favorite class, gathering of Intelligence. Mel just groaned. He hated Intel gathering and he found it all quite a bore, when instead of using normal strategy, he'd prefer blasting his enemies to kingdom come. Which worked 99.9 of the time. The other .1 was usually and rarely never occurring. Muttering, he said that Intel was a basis for trivial matters, and the only Intel he needed was where the enemies were, and what they can do. That's all that mattered. Andy just looked at Mel who was fuming all the way, as he found it so boring. Andy shrugged and decided that it might be kinda interesting, so he followed Sonja and plopped down next to her. Sami gave him a suspicious glance and sat herself down next to Andy's enigmatic friend. Mel then gave her a funny look, and shook his head as he placed his hands behind his neck and looked at the ceiling. Hikagi came out, looking slightly tired, but excited, as she was off duty for the past couple of hours. Her formerly silent expression had changed to one of that of a cheerful one.
"Good afternoon everyone! Since today is the first day, and all I've done is nothing. This is my first class of the day! So. . . I'm gonna teach you all the basics of Intel, then everything about Fog of War. Ok?" There was a slight murmuring from the students, and then some 'Yeah, sure' and other various responses. Hikagi grinned as she, just like the rest of the instructors, flicked the vid-screens on and started to lecture. Again. Mel rolled his eyes and kicked his feet up on the table, Sami gave him a rather strange look and reverted her attention to a slightly blushing Sonja, who had just realized Andy was sitting next to her. Sami nudged Mel, who was half-conscious, and said,
"Hey look!"
"Huh?! What?" he said startled.
"Look at those two!" she then pointed at Sonja and Andy.
"So? He's next to her."
"Exactly."
"And what does this have to do with me?"
"What'd you do?"
"Hmm? What are you talking about? I didn't do nothin'."
"Alright, be that way." She gave him a sneer as he shook his head and returned to his thoughts. "Man, you are stubborn."
"What?"
"Never mind."
"Weird." He muttered under his breath. Meanwhile Andy was far too busy learning about base Intel to notice the blushing Sonja. Sami readjusted her attention to Mel and decided that his boredom was too much. She then hit him.
'Crack!'
"OW!" Sami yelled as she held her hand. Fortunately most of the class themselves were too busy talking with each other about the defense properties of terrain to notice.
"Hmm? What?" Mel said looking up.
"What the hell was that I hit?!" Sami said through gritted teeth, now wondering what was going on, Sonja and Andy turned to their friends.
"What's going on Sam-chan?"
"Yeah, what was that?"
"I-don't-know-my-hand-really-hurts. . ." She said while the pain continued to throb in her hand.
"Did you try and hit me?" Mel said finally aware that he was attacked.
"Y-E-S." She groaned, still with gritted teeth.
"Great. . .you know, you shouldn't try that, the Destructive En, won't allow harm to come to its user. Especially when HE is not paying attention."
"Great. . .why-didn't-you-say-so?" Sami said now with really big eyes, looking at her now very swollen fist.
"Sorry. . . but you didn't ask. . ." Mel shrugged and looked at her red fist. "Well. . . I'll see what I can do about that later, okay? Just don't hit me again, any of you."
"Ok. . .(sniff) that really hurts. . ." Sami just decided that looking at her fist would make it worse, so she turned towards Mel, who was now reading a manual 'First Aid for Dummies' 'Great. . . he can't do squat as of now and my writing hand is numb. . .hmph.' Sonja just looked at Sami's hand and made a slight face and turned her attention to the screen on the table, trying to get more out of the lesson. Andy thought about talking to his cousin, then changed his mind as he didn't want to feel her wrath.
Time: After School
Place: Some mall that Mel drove them to
After those incidents, Sami just stared gloomily at her sore fist and then at Mel who was chatting idly with Sonja. Sami had to admit that Mel was quite nice, despite all that stuff he did. . . Andy was sitting along side with her looking around for anything to do. Mel walked up to her, taking her hand and looking at it.
"Well. Do you need anything? I can get you some ice."
"Uh. . .ow. . .can you be a bit more careful?"
"Oh! Sorry!" He brought a hand to the back of his head and gave her an apologetic grin. "Ya know, I've barely met you, but you seem like someone who's pretty nice."
"And I think you're crazy." Sami said with an indignant tone.
"What's wrong with you?" He said with a slightly hurt expression.
"I'm just fooling with you! After all, practically breaking my hand on your face isn't the best thing that's happened to me." She said with a slight grin.
"Oh. . .alright."
"Don't worry, I like doing this to my friends. . . well that depends, should I even consider you my friend?" She said with an inquisitive look, tilting her head sideways.
"Why not? It's not like I have anything against you, nor you me. How about I find a way to treat your hand and get you a coffee too?" He smiled and grabbed out of his pockets, a tensor band and some more of the Chinese ointment.
"You keep all that junk in your pockets? You are weird." She said still with her head tilted.
"I'll take that as a compliment. Hmm. . . look at Sonja and Andy over there." He said as he busied himself wrapping her hand.
"Hmm. . .ouch! Hey! That stupid Andy. . . he's not even noticing her. And she's looking slightly hurt. Poor Sonja, I really wish he'd look over, but he's useless when it comes to girls."
"Tell me about it, being band mates with him was tough. He could handle crowds as long as he didn't go one on one with a single girl, let alone a whole bunch."
"Yeah, I guess so. Sonja told me that you're pretty well off. So. . .how is it on the other side?"
"Oh. . . it's okay, I guess. You asked her? Geez, all you have to do is ask, after all."
"Out of curiosity, do you think I'm pretty?" She batted her eyelashes at him.
"Umm . . . er. . . ah. . .hmm. . . oh. . . s-s-sure." He mumbled incoherently.
"Hmph! You're no better than Andy! But, you look so sweet when you trail off like that! Anyways, I'll tell you something, you're like Andy! A total blockhead, but still sweet. Well, he's not sweet though. . . he's just a blockhead. You see? The thing is, you're both absolutely useless around girls!"
"Hey, hey! Whoa! That question was out of the blue! You can't just ask a guy you just met if you're pretty or not!"
"You are so easily muddled up too! That's good! Maybe then I can take advantage of you."
"Sami!!! You are twisted! Whatever, let's head back home everyone!" With a slight breath of annoyance, Mel gathered the three others and they hopped onto his car, and he sped off into the distance to the University.
Time: 5:00 pm
Place: ???
"Sir, we've found a possible candidate for the experiment, but further observation is required."
"Excellent! Show me this one. . ." The lackey then tossed a picture towards his commander. "Very well, continue your observing. Then report back in a few months. I shall return to our headquarters and begin the preparations for the Human Genome Project."
Time: 5:00 pm
Place: Andy's room
"Hum, dee dum. Let's see." Andy picked up Mel's guitar and started to play experimentally on it. He had managed to borrow the instrument, in an attempt to see if he could play like his cousin. After strumming a couple of bars. . . "Aw, crap! I can't do this!"
"You should stick to your mechanics and singing okay?" Mel said walking in to retrieve the instrument. "Since when did you want to learn how to play?"
"Since Sami did. But we had to sell it though."
"I'll get you one sometime. . . or you could just buy one now."
"Yeah. . . I guess. But I need new tools first."
"Tools? Great. . . should have told me at the mall."
"What? You'd buy me a set?"
"Yeah, maybe in your dreams. . .get Sonja to."
"But. . .but. . ."
"No buts, ask her. Talk to her! Do something! She's hurt by your lack of attention of her! She wants to know you better for goodness sakes!"
"But. . .I can't . . . I. . .I'm. . ." Andy stammered.
"Your what?! She is really upset! She even told me!"
"Huh?" With that, Mel continued his long winded explanation to the idiotic Andy.
Time: Meanwhile
Place: Sonja's room
"Waaaaaaaaa! (sniff) Why won't he notice me? (sniff) Hmm?" Sonja turned to see Sami walk in on her.
"What's the matter? Hmm?" The cheerful expression on her face turned as she noted the tears. "Oh my. . . should I call someone?"
"Yeah. . . tell that stupid Andy how I feel."
"I've got a feeling the yelling from next door is Mel's explanation of that."
"Really?"
"Listen, silly."
"Ok. . .(sniff)"
Mel was ranting in Chinese. Sami stifled a laugh.
"That's probably the good thing about those thin walls. I can hear anything they say, if they yell." Sami gave her friend a wink.
"What did he say? My Chinese is non-existent. . ." Sonja said still crying.
"Well of course it is, you are Japanese. . ."
"Oh, right. . ." She wiped her eyes and looked intently at Sami, waiting for a translation.
"Only thing, is that my Mandarin is rusty, so I'll try to. . . um. . . er. . . let's see. . . 'You useless worm! She really likes you, but you don't like her?! I'm gonna beat you to death now. . .'. hoo-boy, he's worst than me, when it comes to Andy."
"Poor Andy . . .I want him!!! Waaaaaaaaa!!!"
"Please Sonja, stop crying!" Sami started getting worried.
Time: 5:30 pm
Place: Room 777
"Please stop it! I'll talk to her! Honest! God! Stop! Stop!" Andy was in the corner cowering after being almost beaten to death. Mel unrolled his sleeves and looked down at the bloody orange-red pulp that was Andy. Actually, he wasn't that bloody. It's just a figure of speech. "I'll talk to her. . . just back me up, okay?"
"Hmph! Fine! I will, and if you don't, I'll get Sami and the other two to help me beat you senseless!"
"Gulp. . ." With that, Mel dragged his pained companion to the hall and the room next door. Unlocking the door of room 776, Mel was greeted by Sami.
"What did you do to him? We heard you next door ya know." She said giving Andy a look over. Mel leaned over and whispered something into her ear. "Oh! All right. . . Sonja! There's someone SPECIAL here to see you!"
"ANDY!" Sonja stopped crying and dashed out of her room and hugged the poor semi-conscious boy.
" . . .hi Sonja. . .you want to go out sometime? Ugh . . .happy now you two? I've talked to her now . . .now I'll pass out . . ."
'Thud' Andy hit the ground and Sonja of course was still hugging him. Mel shrugged and tried to wrench the girl off his roommate.
"Dame! I wanna hug him! Please? Please? Sami? Help?"
"As much as I like to see Andy get hugged to death, he's still family, so, no . . . let go of him."
"Aww . . ."
"Don't worry Sonja-chan, it'll be okay, just don't tell your daddy about it." Mel said as he finally pulled Andy from her and ran off.
"Noooooooo! Andy!!! I think I'm gonna go whine again. . ."
"Please don't . . . " Sami groaned and followed Mel out the door. "Wait up! Drive me somewhere! Anywhere! Please!"
"Why!?" Mel kept running down the hall and to his car.
"Because, she's having a fit!" Sami yelled. Mel slowed down.
"But, I'm not going anywhere."
"Then why are you running?"
"I. . .don't know. Well what are you going to do?"
"Umm I dunno. . . let me stay at your place then?"
"Fine . . ." He let out a sigh. "Get your stuff. . ."
"Thank you! Thank you!" She quickly dashed back to her room, grabbed some things and ran out without Sonja even noticing. Running back out, she grabbed Mel's keycard and unlocked the door and tossed it onto the couch.
"Umm. . .you know that it's only 5 something?"
"Hmm. . . good point. How about YOU help ME with my homework, hmm?" She leaned over staring at him, like those girls in those anime cartoons. Mel just sweat-dropped and wondered if that was a good idea.
"What homework? WE didn't get any yet."
"Oh . . .okay! That means . . . can I play with your video games then?"
"Uh. . . sure. . . I'll go wake Andy then. . ." He know really wondered what he was gonna do. Andy's cousin was now staying with them and she was really, really hyper. Andy was lying face down on the floor still, where Mel and Sami had dropped him. "Hey! Stupid! Wake up! I got you tools!"
"Huh? Tools! Yes!"
"Actually, no. I didn't, I lied." Mel said chuckling lightly.
"Eh? What? Argh!"
"But as of now, what do you think of Sonja?"
"A bit over affectionate. She nearly strangled me."
"Oh. . . was THAT it?""Yeah . . . hey, who's playing whatever?"
"I'll give you one guess."
"Sami?"
"Bingo."
"Great . . . I hate it when she's around."
"Really? She seems nice enough. . ." Mel said scratching his chin.
"No, it's not that. It's just that. . .she is really fussy at times and you know, er, I dunno how to explain this, but she's not that fond of guys."
"Is she gay?" Mel said shrugging.
"I heard THAT!" came a scream.
"No. . . Stupid, no, she just thinks that guys are pigs etc. . . the thing is that she hasn't really gone out before, ever."
"I heard THAT TOO!"
"Oh, I see. Sorry. Is it because every guy she's gone up against lost?"
"Yeah."
"Oh. . .whoopee. . .that's just great." Mel sweat-dropped again. Shaking his head, he walked off to his room. "I'm gonna take a shower and go out. You watch her."
"And what? What if she kills me?"
"She won't, there's Sonja to protect you. And if she tries, she'll remember and only beat you senseless. Even though she has an injured hand, it probably won't matter."
"Wee. . ." Andy gave a dejected sigh and crawled to the kitchen.
Author's Ramblings: Well, that was a pain. . . please review, and don't flame. . . that much. . .gimme a couple more reviews, then maybe, just maybe I'll be inspired enough to continue. The next chapter. . .7. . . will be called Celebrations, accusations, confrontations and plain silliness. I think. That chapter will be coming around whenever, and it'll have some strange things in it. . .PS. . . I like Sami the best, Sonja is a close second and Nell is a distant third. And tell me what you think of the SI characters and their skills and do review. . . I am really bored.

"Brains are the key to victory, not brawn." Mel: "Says who Sonja-chan?" Then goes to next quote. Or "Waa! Why don't you guys ever listen to me? (sniff. . . sniff. . .) waa!" Everyone in general area sweat-drops.

Bio: Another one of Mel's friends, Gary is another person with control of Destructive En, his style is more on helping than that of hindering. An outward appearance that of an agent, Gary, is more than capable of handling his foes as well as compiling Intel. With a desire to be an Intel officer, his friends, all agree to it as he's practically a match to Sonja's intellect. Armed with guns instead of blades, he tends to stay at the sidelines as back up. He is the supporting brick of 'The Three' by using his Ultimate Maintenance skill, allowing him to create the ultimate backup. Gary: I'm smarter than all of you! Hahaha! Mel: Riiiight. . .so what if you were top of class at Castle Ridge? I'm more powerful! Gary: Dang. . . Also, since his handling of Destructive En differs, he is the anti-thesis of mass destruction that his other friends seem to favor.

Weaknesses: None
CO Power:
Ultimate Maintenance: Heals all of own units and allies units to 100, and gives an offense and defense boost of 20.

An ingenious technological, mechanical and logical wonder.

Bio: Gabe is one of Mel's old school friends from Castle Ridge Academy near the Lost Forest region. His shadowy nature and slim physique are that of a fine Ninja swordsman. His coolness and calm allow him to calculate and find out when and where to strike at his foes. Armed with a katana and an array of throwing knives of various types, he is like an assassin. Similarly skilled in handling Destructive En, Gabe wields the similar abilities of his friend. Also, he makes up the second offensive part of the group, known as "The Three". Typically, like most officers in training, Gabe and most of his friends had lost their parents during the earlier strikes from Blue Moon. Gabe: Urgh! Blue Moon dogs! Mel: Whoa, whoa, calm down, I know we both lost our folks, but calm down okay? Gabe: Fine. But I will get them! Mel: Yeesh. Gabe: By the way, I'm also an ace student and I hate greasy food! Mel:
