Here's chapter 9. Enjoy and keep sending in reviews if you want the story to continue! BTW, I'm aware that two of the lines in "Saving Private Kevin" came from RvB. This was just a different twist to it and I wanted to see if anyone caught it!

Here we go Again

Jake, Kevin, and their new "friend" Bill were in the base loading magazines into their battle rifles and Jake's sniper rifle. Jake finished first and ran outside to wait for the other two. Five minutes went by.

"Aren't you guys done yet?" yelled Jake.

Kevin ran outside the base. "Jake?"

"What is it now, Kevin?"

"I don't like our new friend!"

"Friend? I don't know about you but he's not my friend! The only solution to your problem, whatever it is, is to stop being friends with him. It's as simple as that! Oh, by the way, what did he do to you that made you so upset?"

"…….He made fun of me!"

"That's it?" said Jake. He puts his hand on his head in disbelief, sighed, and then continued. "Ok, how did he make fun of you?"

"He said I suck!"

"Agreeable so far!"

"He also said I was gay and that he was better than me! Then he said he was going to kill me in my sleep!"

Jake rolled his eyes. "For crying out load! BILL, GET OUT HERE!"

Bill ran out. "We finally ready?"

Jake stared at both of them. "Look here Bill and Kevin, you two have to cooperate together if we want to get out of here!"

"What if we…." started Kevin.

"Shut up Kevin! Anyway, Bill, stop calling Kevin names, threatening him, and being a freaking jerk! Kevin, stop crying to me about your problems with Bill and everything else around you or your personal life! I'm NOT YOUR FREAKING MOTHER! You got that?"

"You sure look like his mother!" said Bill. Jake just rolled his eyes and ignored him.

"I got off easy." Said Kevin.

"No one did!" said Jake, annoyed now. "Does anyone else have a problem here?"

"Actually, I…" started Bill.

"Ok then!" interrupted Jake. "Let's get this over with."

Jake, Kevin, and Bill picked up their weapons and ran out toward the blue base. They ran up and around through the cave to avoid detection. They all hid behind the rock under the cave again.

"Everyone remember the plan?" asked Jake. "If not, I'm not explaining it again!"

"I remember my plan!" said Bill. "So, let's do it."

"Man, your just like Chris. NO! We're not letting you do all the work! NOW FOCUS!" yelled Jake as he turned to Kevin. "How bout you Kevin, do you remember what our plan was?"

Kevin just paused for a second and answered. "……I'm hungry!"

"(sigh) I'm surrounded by freaking idiots!"

Jake walks up onto the ledge above. He turns down toward Bill and Kevin.

"Fine, the plan was that I snipe from the right and distract them while you two run into the base. One person grabs the flag while the other covers him! Now don't run out until I give the signal!"

"What's the signal?" asked Kevin.

"I'll just tell you when it's ok! Good luck guys!"

Jake runs into the cave and came out the other side. He could see the elites' base with his sniper rifle. He laid down and aimed at an elite. He turns on his radio.

"Get ready to move." said Jake.

Meanwhile, Bill and Kevin were waiting for the signal. Bill heard Jake over his radio but Kevin wasn't listening. He turns to Bill.

"Was that Jake saying it was ok?" asked Kevin.

Bill took his chance. "No!" he started. "That was Jake saying that he agrees with my plan and you should stay behind."

"That doesn't sound like Jake!"

"Well, that's what he said!"

"OK, I will listen to Jake and we will be best friends!"

Jake was still on the ledge above the blue base. He aimed at one elite and fired, shooting him in the head. The other elites notice and fired back. Jake hid in the cave loading his sniper rifle and contacted the other two.

"OK!" he yelled. MOVE OUT! I GOT THEM DISTRACTED!"

Bill ran out from behind the rock while Kevin did as Bill said and stayed behind. Bill ran out with his battle rifle blazing at the elites. The elites fired back and injured his armor. Jake sniped two more elites before he noticed that Bill was firing his rifle and that he was alone. Bill had killed three elites as he ran to the front of the base and threw a grenade inside. Jake turned the radio back on and hid in the cave.

"BILL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I'M SUPPOSED TO DISTRACT THEM WHILE YOU AND KEVIN RUN IN! AND WHERE'S KEVIN?"

"I TOLD YOU! THAT PLAN IS TERRIBLE! KEVIN DROPPED OUT!" Bill yelled back.

"You don't like it because we're helping you and it's not your plan!"

"That's not true!"

"YES IT IS! AND THERE'S NO WAY KEVIN WOULD DROP OUT! NOW YOU MUST WAIT THERE FOR HIM!"

Bill ignored him and ran inside. Jake ran back into the cave and back out the other side to see Kevin just standing there. Jake jumped off the ledge down to Kevin.

"Why did you go with his gay plan?" asked Kevin.

"I didn't!" answered Jake. "He ran in on his own. Why didn't you run out?"

"He told me that you said to stay while Bill runs out!"

"…….Does that sound like me?"

"………seven!"

Jake was starting to get annoyed. They heard the voice again from the alarm. "Red team, has the flag!"

"At least we now have the flag!" thought Jake.

"What if he runs through the teleporter?" asked Kevin.

"Good thinking!" said Jake as he turned on his radio. "Bill, run through the teleporter!"

"Got it!" answered Bill as he ran up the ramp with elites chasing him. Jake turned off his radio. "That was actually good thinking Kevin!" he said.

"NO!" said Kevin. "I mean that the warthog is still over the teleporter!"

Jake turns out to the teleporter to see the warthog still on the exit. "WHAT! HOLY CRAP! WE'D BETTER HURRY!" They both run out to move the warthog.

Meanwhile, the elites were ganging up on Bill as he ran onto the roof. He mêlées one in the back and kills him. He runs inside the teleporter.

"So long, noobs!" screamed Bill.

Bill waited inside the teleporter but he wasn't teleporting. Meanwhile, Jake and Kevin walked, not ran, to the warthog and took their most precious time pushing the warthog off the tleporter exit. Bill continued waiting.

"Yep…….any moment now, I'll be teleporting out there and away from here………….WHAT THE FRICK IS GOING ON! HELP!"

The elites were waiting too but Bill wouldn't teleport. "SO!" Bill said to the elites. "How's being an alien?"

The elites fired their weapons at Bill and he dropped the flag. Jake and Kevin had finally pushed the warthog off the exit when Bill's corpse popped out of the teleporter.

"Bill!" said Kevin. "This is no time to nap and where's the flag?"

Jake bent over his corpse and felt his pulse. "He's not sleeping, he's dead!"

"Really?"

"Guess so!"

"Hm………"

The voice went off again. "Blue team, flag returned!" Jake and Kevin just stared at each other, then at Bill's corpse, and back at each other again.

"Guess we better go get the flag again!" said Kevin.

"Guess so!" said Jake.

They both just left Bill behind and ran off toward the base. Meanwhile, the elites high-five each other on a job well done. One of the elites started shaking, lost his balance, and fell. One of the elites asked him if he was ok in his elite talk.

"(You ok?)"

The elite got up and answered, again in an elite language. "(Eh-hm……I'm fine! I think I had better take out that sniper that's up there!)"

"(Alright, but hurry up!)"

The elite jumped off the base and ran up to where Jake was sniping and ran through the cave. Jake and Kevin were still running toward the base. Jake sniped an elite while Kevin fired at them with his carbine.

"Why do you still have that carbine?" asked Jake. "Why don't you use a battle rifle?"

"I like it! I like it!" answered Kevin.

"Whatever, let's do this thing!"

The elites fired back as Kevin ran inside the base. Jake stood outside and covered the entrance. Kevin ran behind a wall inside and threw a grenade inside.

BOOM!

The grenade exploded as Kevin saw an elite's corpse fly out next to him. He ran inside and grabbed the flag and the usual alarm went off again. Elites blasted carbines and plasma rifles down into the base. Kevin ran out the front with the flag and ran back toward the red base. Jake got up and ran after him. As soon as he caught up to Kevin, he looked behind them to see that the elites were not chasing them this time.

"Where are they?" asked Kevin.

"Who cares, let's go back to……..WAIT!"

Jake paused as he heard a noise from the other side of the hill.

"What's that noise?" asked Jake. "……….HOLY CRAP! RUN!

Three purple hovercrafts, otherwise known as ghosts, flew out from behind the hill and drove after the two, plasma rounds blazing. Jake and Kevin hid in a circle of rocks.

"We can't out run them!" said Jake.

"We have to fight?" asked Kevin. "We could take the tank no problem, so I'm sure we can take these noobs as well!"

"The tank was just luck!"

"Hey, I took out the tank!"

"Exactly!"

"……Good point!"

"Anyway, we had better try to take them out."

"Sure! I'll just put the flag down and….."

"NO! DON'T DROP IT! In fact, you might want to stay here and run. I'll cover you!"

"Alright!"

Jake ran out from behind the rocks and fired his rifle but they didn't do much to the ghosts. The ghosts noticed him and fired back. Kevin, who didn't even pay any attention to Jake's orders, ran out to a ghost. The ghost noticed him and tried to run him over. Kevin ducked and the ghost missed. Jake sniped an elite out of his ghost and blew it up with a grenade. Plasma sparks filled the air.

"One down!" said Jake.

Kevin was dancing around the ghost while he still had the flag. He had just dodged the ghost again when he jumped into the air and on the ghost. He had dropped the flag. He spun around, kicked the elite out of his seat, and took over the ghost. He then ran over the elite that was driving it.

Jake, however, was having a tough time with the last ghost. He had used up most of his sniper rounds and the ghost was only barely damaged. He ran behind another rock as the ghost pinned him down. Kevin learned the controls quickly and drove over. He fired plasma rounds at the other ghost. The elite driving it quickly noticed and fired back. The battle between the two lasted a little while around the red base. Kevin's ghost was critically damaged when he fired the final shots and destroyed the other ghost.

BOOM!

"WWWWOOOOOOO-HHHHOOOOOOOO!" cheered Kevin as he drove back where Jake was and got out.

"Nice work Kevin!" said Jake. "But, where's the flag?"

Kevin gulped. "I left it….back….there!...oops!"

"WHAT!"

They both looked over to see the flag just disappear. "Blue team, flag returned!" Jake just stared at Kevin with a disgusted look in his helmet.

"NO! WHY DID YOU DROP IT?" Jake yelled.

"It was heavy and I need both arms!"

"YOU IDIOT! YOU SACRIFIESED THE FLAG IN ORDER TO TAKE OUT A FREAKING GHOST?"

"……….yea, pretty much!"

Jake dropped to the ground again. "NNNOOOOOOO! WHY?"

Kevin just watched him. "Are you going to do that every time?"

"Maybe."

Jake stood back up, still angry with Kevin. The elite that had run off after Jake had just run up behind them and spoke in English this time.

"Hey guys!" it said in a familiar voice.

Jake and Kevin turned to the elite and freaked out.

"HOLY CRAP!" yelled Jake. "FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!"

The two Spartans picked up their rifles and fired at the elite but missed. The elite spoke again.

"Lower your weapons soldiers!" commanded the elite.

Jake and Kevin did as they were told and Jake spoke. "Holy crap……….MAX?"

Kevin just stared at him. "WWWHHHHHAAAAAAAA?"

Max was in an elite's body. He looked at both of them and continues. "That's right ladies, I'm back."

So you thought he was dead? Well, you thought right, he's still dead but not his spirit. Is the suspense building inside you? Do you feel that you can't wait until the next chapter? Well the next chapter is coming soon to a computer near you if I get a total of at least 9 reviews so send them in. So be patient! Oh, and Max coming back is going to be as less like RvB as possible so NO COMPLAINTS in your reviews!
