Chapter 2- The B in Black is Blue

"... Black Hole seems to be dead, alright. In other news, eggplants are now illegal..."

Yina turned off the TV and said, "Nothing good."

"Hey, woman! Your commander is on my laptop screen!" Yina got out of the couch and walked to the kitchen, where she saw Koal and Jugger sitting on the chairs near the laptop on the table. "See? He popped on my screen while I was playing Age of Empires!" said Koal.

"Eh?" Yina looked at the laptop. There, she could see the commander of Black Hole himself. "So you've finally shown your face and came to contact us?"

"Yes. How's the mission?" Yina explained, "Well, everyone in Orange Star thinks we're long gone. Pssh, they haven't noticed they have Black Hole citizens in their nation. And we also met this guy named Cade. It appears his mission shares something in common."

"Yes, I've paid him to assist you and your team," said Golgaloth. Yina made her voice louder and said, "But why didn't you tell us we'll have company, especially when they live in an apartment room across from us?" There was a pause. "Must've slipped my mind," said Golgaloth. Koal and Yina fell down heavily. "What kind of commander are you, you idiotic jerk?" yelled Yina, angrily.

"Nevermind that," Golgaloth continued, "all you know that Cade will be assisting your mission. But I've heard reports that they'll send an Orange Star CO to inspect you guys. Now, goodbye!"

"Hey, wait!" Too late. Golgaloth wasn't on the screen anymore. Just a bunch of monster trucks slaughtering peasants. They stared at it for a moment. "Well, least I know that Koal is a big cheater." She made him angry. "I am not a cheater!" argued Koal.

"Oh? And what's that?" Yina pointed at the screen. "J-just shut your mouth! And I am not a cheater!" Yina left the kitchen, laughing and smiling. (She smiles very rarely.)


"Hm? Oh, it's you! I'm so very-"

"Cade, do you have information about Orange Star besides the fact that they think Black Hole is gone?" asked Yina. Cade thought for a while, then said, "Well, I think I have something!" Yina told him to go to their apartment room for the discussion.

Yina, Koal, and Cade were sitting on the couch. Jugger was just sitting on the floor. Cade laid a piece of paper on the table and explained, "This is all the notes I have so far. It has all the intel about Orange Star's future operations." Yina picked the paper up and read. "So... they're sending spies all over the world?"

"Yes," answered Cade. "They know the locations of every formal Black Hole CO, such as Flak, Adder, Lash, Kindle, and Koal as well. The only thing I can conclude is that... they'll be sending a spie to inspect every formal Black Hole CO."

Yina and Koal glanced at Cade. "Does that mean..." Cade nodded and said, "They can and will send a person to inspect our pogress of this mission."

"But then, we can't lead our invasion," said Koal. "Does this mean Golgaloth's plan for another war has failed?" Cade shook his head. "Possibly unlikely. They may have locations of the formal COs, but not the new COs. Golgaloth can still proceed his plan at his desire."

Yina looked down. "Even if Golgaloth can invade the world. He... and I will have much trouble with Orange Star..."

"And why would you say that?" asked Cade. Yina grabbed his collar and yelled, "Isn't it obvious? Koal is living here... with us! Because of him, we will fail this operation!"

Koal was surprised by her words. "Then... it will be my fault that his plan... isn't 100? I will be blamed?"

"Yes, you can and will be blamed!" yelled Yina.

"Not quite," winked Cade. Yina and Koal were puzzled. "It's pretty possible that our inspector could be dumb."

"Aw, come on, Cade! What are the chances of that?" Suddenly, there was a crashing noise outside. "Mah car!"

"I'm sorry, sir. But you're car is in my way!"

"But mah baby cost me three thousand dollars!"

"Not if you're talking to a commanding officer! Here's my I. O. U.. Have a nice day!"

The four people in the apartment room just stood there, silently. They were listening to the situation outside.

"Pay me now!"

"I'm sorry, sir. Can't you see I came from Blue Moon only to do this very important and classified inspection?"

"Inspection? I'll inspect your jeep!"

"Hey, I built that jeep! No, that guy just jacked my Bessie! No... come back... Bessie! NO! Huh? Hah, you crashed at a fire hydrant! Now, get... wait a minute. Bessie is at home, he can't be here at Orange Star. Oh, well. That broken jeep is now yours."

There were sounds of someone stepping on a concrete staircase. In a few seconds, there was a doorbell. "I'll... get that." Yina picked her metal rod from the floor and went to the door. She opened the door and saw a brown-haired, young adult person with a cap. He's wearing a blue polo and shirt, and khaki jeans. "Hello, ma'am. I'm Nervin, CO of Blue Moon, here to inspect this apartment room. Is there a person named Koal around there?"

Yina stared at him, he was smiling. "You're an idiot, are you?" Nervin made a look. "Hey, that's no way to greet-" She hit him on the head with a long metal rod. "Ahh, careful with your violent tools! I'm from Blue Moon!" Yina continued hitting him.

"Yina! Stop hurting this defenseless boy!" cried Cade, as he wrapped his hands around Nervin. "Come on, Cade! He's an enemy! We shouldn't let him in our apartment room!"

"Don't worry. Having an inspector here isn't that all bad!"

"Isn't that bad? What makes you say so?"

Cade helped Nervin to get up from Yina's beatings, while Koal took out a bag of fortune cookies for the talk. Nervin explained why they sent a Blue Moon Co instead of an Orange Star CO for the inspection. Cade still kept his arms around Nervin. "So, Orange Star just didn't have any more COs to deal with us? And instead, they called Blue Moon and they sent you?" asked Koal. "Yup," replied Nervin, "And also note that I have to live with you, guys."

"What?" stuttered Yina.

"Eh... fine," said Koal.

"That's great!" said Cade, happily.

"Yeah, not only I'm doing my job, but I can have great fun with everyone!" smiled Nervin. Yina got up, and yelled, "Do you realize that you're way stupid and you'd expect to have fun with Black Hole commanders?"

"Yina, be quiet. At least this cutie only expects to have a great time. I think I like this inspector!" giggled Cade. Nervin smiled and said, "At least I'll try to have fun with Allied Nation's formal enemies." Yina twitched her eye and said, "Do you realize that the person who's hugging you is not a girl?"

"Uhh... really?" asked Nervin, looking worried. "Is this true, Cade?" Cade nodded with his eyes closed. "Aaaahhhhhh!"


One must either gain or lose trust... to receive their one true desire...

"Goddammit... not one of those dreams again..." said Yina, wiping her eye. She brushed her teeth, and walked in the living room. She found Koal and Jugger eating their breakfast, and Nervin watching TV.

"Yina! You are yet late again for your breakfast! Nervin just ate already, and Jugger and I are almost done! Hurry, your rice is getting cold!"

"Hold on! I'm gonna check on Nervin for a second!" She went to see what Nervin was watching. "So... what have you found out about us?"

"Sshh, I love this part!" Both of them stood silent as the TV spoke.

"Hey, nigga! Watch where you're going!"

"What did you just call me... wait a minute. I'm orange."

"Hey! Come back here! This is your only chance to throw your life away! (The last three quotes respectfully belongs to Boondocks... except the orange part.)

Yina sighed and left Nervin. "This is going to be one hell of a mission."
