Apple: Hi everyone! Thanks for reading my fic. Everyone here is so nice to me!
Zefff: Ack! I'm sorry for not putting you with the other ch. 1 reviewers, but you reviewed after I posted. Umm…as far as pairings go, there will be two, a one sided Erk/Serra (Which you already figured all probably) and a Erk/(Tex's Character) pairing. Other than that, nope.
Link015: Heh, thanks, I'm really glad you like my ideas. I was a bit tired and I watch the episodes while typing this so yeah, I can see where I screw up. I think I went through and fixed everything though. Thanks for the heads up.
Nightmare: Yeah, I was tired XD; (Bad excuse, but it works). Umm, Tex will be…a surprise! So will O'Malley.
Picup: Heh, not a lot of people expected Serra, probably a lot of you expected Bartre. But I think Serra works better.
Apple: Wee! Thanks everyone! Now on to Chapter 3, which will be Episodes 5 and 6. And I just noticed I forgot to put in the title to Ch.2. Oh well, not that big of a miss anyways. I had no idea what the title would be before updating anyways.
OMFG the n00b got the flag!
On top of blue base, Erk, Wil, and the pink haired girl stood looking out at the canyon. Erk was visibly agitated as he twitched about in fury. He then turned towards the girl.
"Okay, let me get this straight." He snarled. "You GAVE this guy our flag."
The girl looked at him in puzzlement. "Is…that bad Erky?"
"Bad? Oh that's not bad." Erk said sarcastically turning away from her. "Next time he comes over, why don't you just help him blow up the whole god damned base!"
Just then, Wil spotted the red clad figure running away with a gigantic flag. "Look! There he is!"
Erk picked up his longbow again and looked towards the direction Wil pointed out.
"Where?" He asked swinging the bow left to right before finding his mark. "Oh yeah there! I got him! He's sneaking around back before the cliff."
Wil whistled. "He must be one smart son of a bow."
As the blues were talking, Lucius was still carrying the flag around in the canyon.
"Aww man." He groaned. "I am so freaking lost. Where the hell is the base!"
Back at blue base, Erk noticed the color of the man's armor.
"Oh shit, hey Wil, look at his armor. It's red."
Wil groaned. "Aww man, that means it's their sergeant."
"Well, that makes sense." Erk said. "At least now we know how he got by our defenses."
Just then, the girl cut in. "Uhh, you know. He came in the back door where you guys were standing."
"Yeah, okay, well let's take him out then." Wil said completely ignoring her.
"Roger that." Erk said taking careful aim and pulling back the string. "Okay, say goodnight Sarge…"
With that, Erk released the string, letting loose fast flying arrow that buried itself in the dirt just in front of the running Lucius. After his first miss, Erk immediately stringed another one and fired, missing again. After firing two more arrows and missing both, Erk ran out of arrows.
Across the canyon, Lucius danced as four deadly arrows with not so deadly aim buried themselves in to the ground him.
"SON OF A BITCH!" He yelled, turning around to find the source.
At blue base, a disgruntled Erk lowered his longbow after missing his mark four times. "Ahh crap…" he muttered.
He turned to look at Wil staring at him in disbelief.
"What!" He asked.
"You're REALLY not good with that thing are you?" Wil asked.
While the blues were bantering, Lucius turned towards the source of the arrow fire and quickly pleaded for his life.
"HEY IT'S ME!" he yelled. "DON'T SHOOT! I'M THE GUY WHO BOUGHT THE FLAG! REMEMBER!"
Wil was the first to hear his shouts. "Oh great, now he's taunting us. That's just embarrassing."
Erk threw up his hands. "All right, that's enough. I've had it." Then he turned to Serra. "Lackey, you stay here. Me and Tucker, we'll use this warp point, and we'll cut him off at the pass."
"Right!" the girl answered.
"Wil, you ready?" Erk asked. "Let's go."
Wil looked at the warp point and said, "There is no way I'm going through that thing."
"Wil, we don't have time for this." Erk said. "Why would they give us a warp point if it doesn't work?
"I don't know! Why would they give us a Pegasus that nobody can ride. Besides! That's not a warp point! That's a freaking warp stave taped to a wall!"
"We already tested the warp point, remember?"
"WE THREW ROCKS THROUGH IT!"
"Yeah? And?" Erk said, completely oblivious to the dangers. "So what? They came out on the other side didn't they?"
"Yeah, but they were all hot, and covered with black stuff." Wil reminded him.
"Oh, okay so I guess that's what this is all about then." Erk scoffed. "You're afraid of a little black stuff."
"Yes, I am, I am afraid of black stuff."
"Wil…" Erk said raising an iron bow. "I almost hate to do this to ya."
"…you wouldn't." Wil said looking at the deadly arrow notched to stab his brains out.
"You know, I look at it this way." Erk explained. "Either a, we go through there and get the flag back, or b, we stay here, and I get to kill you. Either way, I win."
Wil sighed and tried one last time. "For the record, rocks aren't people."
"Duly noted." Erk said. "Now get in there."
"CRAP…" Wil said. "All right."
He took a deep breath. "One…two…THREE!" And ran into the wall, hitting the warp stave, and disappearing.
Erk and the girl looked out at the exit point of the warp point, which was just another warp stave tied to a stake, and waited. After a waiting for a while and still not seeing Wil come out, the girl noted the obvious.
"Hmm," She said. "He didn't come out the other side."
"Yeah…" Erk said sheepishly. "I've uhh…I've decided not to use the teleporter."
With that, Erk ran off towards the middle of the canyon.
"Okay lackey, you stay here! I'll be back with the flag!" he yelled over his back.
On the other side, Sain was surveying the field with the red team longbow while Kent stood behind him in annoyance.
"I still have no idea what you're talking about." Kent said. "I didn't hear any shots."
Sain sighed. "I'm telling you, it was four shots that hit the ground. Like 'Thud thud thud.'"
Kent thought for a second. "Wait a second, that's only three 'thuds.'"
"Thud…" Sain finished for Kent.
Just then, he saw a blue clad man with purple hair heading towards the middle.
"Wait a second…" he said. "We got a blue guy on the move out there."
"Where's he headed?" Kent asked.
As Sain swung towards the blue man's projected destination he saw something interesting. "Oh crap…it's Lucy… and he's got something. It looks like…"
The Sain realized what Lucius was holding the blue flag. He slowly and deliberately turned towards Kent.
"Kent…" He said slowly. "Get the horse."
Kent chuckled a bit. "You mean the pony?" He said.
"Yeah…keep making jokes." Sain said sarcastically. "That'll win the war."
Meanwhile, Erk had reached the red man with his iron bow drawn. "Freeze!" He yelled.
Lucius was out of breath from dodging and panicking. "Hey! Why the hell were you shooting at me?" He asked Erk. "You could've hit me you prick!"
"Can it!" Erk yelled. "Don't try to play stupid with me Sergeant Wallace! I know who you are! We've been spying on you for three weeks now."
"I just got here two hours ago." Lucius said annoyed. "And I'm not a Sergeant, I'm a private, and my name isn't Wallace, I'm Lucius."
Just then, Erk noticed the blonde strands of hair under the man's helmet. "Wait a minute, you're not the sergeant! You're not bald!"
"Yeah…that's what I just said!"
"Well the how the hell did you manage to steal our flag!" Erk asked.
"Steal!" Lucius said confused. "I have no idea what the hell you're talking about!"
Just then, the warp point near the two man reacted and suddenly a man covered in a blackish substance burst out.
"ST. ELIMINE!" Erk yelled in surprise.
"HOLY SHIT!" Lucius screamed. "Who is this guy?"
"WHAT IN THE HELL!" Erk yelled at the newcomer before realizing who it was. "WIL, IS THAT YOU!"
Wil looked at Erk in puzzlement. "How the hell did you get here ahead of me?"
"And what's with that black stuff on your armor?" Lucius asked.
"Hey!" Wil yelled raising his short bow. "FREEZE SARGE!"
"Would you stop calling me a sergeant!" Lucius asked in frustration. "I'm still just a private!"
"The sergeant is still a private!" Wil said in awe. "OH…ST. … ELIMINE! The warp point sent me back in time!"
Meanwhile, Sain was getting onto the horse back at red base while Kent got on behind him and took the archer position.
"Sorry Raven, but we need the horse." Sain said.
"Let's roll!" Kent yelled from back and Sain rode off.
"Don't worry Raven!" He shouted back "I'll bring her back breathing!"
Back in the middle of the canyon, Wil was explaining things to Erk.
"Look, I know you don't know me, but you have to believe what I'm about to tell you." Wil explained. "Sometime in your future, I get stationed here in Blood Gulch, and we meet. And this guy here, he gets promoted to the sergeant of the red army and we spy on them. And they get this new horse and I'm all like 'there is NO way you can pick up chicks in a Pegasus!'"
Erk heard enough. "Wil…what the heck are you babbling about!"
"I know all this sounds crazy, but he eventually becomes the sergeant, and then one day we get a Pegasus, and he comes and steals our flag while we're distracted." Wil finished.
"Is this guy a retard?" Lucius asked.
As this went on, the sound of plodding hoofs grew in the background. Erk didn't take notice.
"Red, shut up." Erk said firmly. "Wil, listen to me, you haven't gone back in time okay? This IS the guy who stole the flag; he's just not the sergeant. Turns out, he's just some dumb lackey who happens to have the same color armor as him. He got in somehow, just…" That's when he heard the noise. "FOR GODSAKE SOMEBODY TURN OFF THAT HORSE!"
As soon as Erk said that, Sain jumped in with the horse, scaring the crap out of everyone.
"HOLY SHIT!"
"SON OF A BITCH!"
"RUN! ELIMINE RUN!" Erk yelled as he and Wil headed for cover.
Sain reined in the horse and got off as he watched Kent shoot arrows with medieval longbow efficiency at the retreating blues. Erk and Wil ran behind a rock and ducked down as a stream of arrows bounced off the rock and thudded into the ground around them. Sain then turned towards Lucius.
"What the hell is going on around here?" He asked.
"You know what? I honestly have no what's going on." Lucius replied. "I think everyone in this canyon is absolutely insane!"
"How did you get their flag!" Sain continued.
"I don't know, I just asked for it."
"Wait, that worked!"
"I guess…" Lucius said. "Is it not supposed to?"
"I don't know." Sain said. "We never even thought to try that. Just take the flag to the base. I'll explain there."
"Not until somebody tells me what the heck is goi-"
"THERE'S NO TIME TO EXPLAIN LACKEY!" Sain interrupted frantically. "JUST TAKE THE FLAG AND GO TO BASE! I'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THERE!"
"FINE!" Lucius forced through clenched teeth before grabbing the flag and heading towards the wrong end of the canyon.
"BACK TO OUR BASE MORON!" Sain yelled.
"Uh, I know, I got turned around that's all."
Back at blue base, the lackey was looking through the longbow at her compatriots being bombarded by a stream of arrows.
"Oh man…" She said. "That's not good."
She trained the longbow to the source of the arrows.
"Dear St. Elimine that jeep has a really big quiver."
She stowed the longbow and wondered what to do next.
"Stay here…" She said before turning to the Pegasus, "Pegasus….Stay here, Pegasus…"
Then she decided. "Ahh screw it…" She said running back towards the Pegasus.
Meanwhile, Erk and will were still stuck behind the rock. In the walls behind them and the ground around them, the tails of thousands of arrows protruded from the ground.
"Well…" Erk said. "We'll just wait here. Either that thing's going to run out of arrows, or the archer's arms will fall off. Eventually, one or the other has to happen."
