Thank you for being so supportive, I'm glad that you are enjoying this story so far and also I do apologize that I don't update too often, I'm glad that this story is doing well too.
It's now Sunday, it been three days sense Ruby have come to blood gulch and don't ask how they knew even when the sun never went down. The blues were preparing for the training exercise with Tucker making sure his gun is lock and loaded, Flowers is waiting near the front for the rest of the blues while Church have Ruby in his arms as they meet the blues. They notice an new soldier in brown armor, "Hey red who the new soldier? I don't remember him being here" The sniper ask the reds "Oh that Lopez, he here to watch Ruby while we fight till one side have no more soldiers on there side. He also our mechanic so he was fixing something up for us when you and Ruby came over" the Red Sargent replied.
The colbat soldier nods as he sets down the little reaper, "Daddy do I really have to go with him?" She ask with a little bit of worry. "Yeah Sorry Rube but it too dangerous for you while we battle, don't worry we win this for sure" he said while giving her a thumps up. Ruby then follows the mechanic as they go to the side lines, the reds and blues go back to there bases ready to begin. Church does on top of the base using his sniper rifle to see the reds from far away while Flowers was with Tucker hiding behind some rocks. On the reds side Sarge was loading his shotgun while Simmons was checking on a rocket launcher that they have as Grif was yawning as he hold his battle rifle.
"Ok Grif you be a distraction while me and Simmons surprise those blue idiots" Sarge told them "Great plan sir" the maroon soldier told his commanding officer while the the qoute on qoute 'distraction' just groan. They went to work as Grif ran straight towards them with Sarge close behind and Simmons watching from behind as he aimed his rocket launcher at Tucker. When the rocket hit the rock that the blue soldier was behind a bunch of red paint was splattered on it "Oh shit they have a rocket launcher, that fucking unfair" he complain as he tried shooting Grif as Flowers aim his gun at sarge.
As the blues tried to hold back the reds Ruby was with Lopez, he appears to teaching her how to repair an old spartan helmet not through words but showing her how to do it by hand. She taking all the information in as she smiles at him, "Oh uncle Lopez, does the radio work on it or does that need to be fix too?" She ask as he seems to nods to her as the radio does works. "Oh can I use it please, I wanna talk to daddy and see how they doing" she told him as Lopez gave her the helmet, she puts it on and Lopez helps her turn on the radio as she smiles.
While she doing that Church is on the base missing every single shot he fires while Grif is trying to run and dodge all of Tucker's shots while he panting. Simmons is reloading as he hides from the blues view of vison, "God Damn it , there gotta be something wrong with this sniper rifle!!" He yelled in frustration as he tries to hit Sarge who is close to Flowers who is trying to shoot at him as he attempts to not be hit by the shotgun. Church then hears Tucker on the radio, "Wow seriously you really are shit at shooting" he hears as he just sighs. Then his radio goes static a bit and hears Ruby voice.
"Hi daddy, are you winning the game yet ?" She ask curiously as Church hides behind one of the walls on top of the base. "Uh hi Rube, how are you even on the radio? and no not yet" he ask and then told her as she hears her giggles a bit, "Lopez gave me an old helmet and help me tune into only your helmet so no one else can hear me" she explains as he keeps trying to hit Simmons but keeps missing. "Your missing all your shots aren't you daddy" she said and hearing him silent and not giving an response told all she needs to know.
"Hey daddy if you always miss when you try aiming at them, maybe try not aiming directly at them. Like doing a reverse type thing" she recommends as he sighs and thinks why not give it a shot as he aims his sniper rifle near Simmons head. When he fires he sees Simmons gets hit on his visor as he can tell from the blue splattered paint and him falling on his back. Sarge and Grif notices this and as they are distracted both Flowers and Tucker take this chance to shoot both of them and wins the game.
As the reds get back up, they appears to be down as they loss "Damn it Grif you were meant to distract the blues so Simmons don't get shot !!" He yelled at the soldier in question, "Well I was busy making sure I wasn't hit and also he should had fired at the sniper so we didn't have to worry about him" Grif complains as Simmons wipes off his visor. "Well sir the blue's sniper wasn't hitting me or anyone else just a couple of minutes ago so I didn't think he was a problem" Simmons explains and sighs as the reds go meet up with the blues.
"Way to go man, I thought you couldn't shoot worth a damn but you surprised me for sure" Tucker complements the sniper, Flowers pats him on the back showing that he is proud of him while under his helmet he just smiles. They sees the reds coming over as Ruby and Lopez arrives as they see her messing with some sort of gizmo, "Hi Rube what that you have? Did Lopez give you that?" He ask as she simply nods while smiling as she keeps toying with it. "Well good match blues but next time we shall win and have her be with us" the red leader said as him and his team including the reds leaves, but as Grif was leaving he gives Ruby an Oreo package to her and she waves goodbye to him as well as to Lopez.
Church goes to pick her up as they walk back to there base , "Thanks for the advise, without it we would have loss" he said to her as the blues simply looks confused but just shrugs as they just thinks they talk before hand. "Your welcome daddy, also can I see Lopez again. I wanna learn more about mechanics so I can make gear and improve yours as well" she ask and smiles as he shrugs as he not sure about it but she can tell he will try for her.
Hope that the fight scene wasn't too bad and also I tried to make a good interaction with Lopez and Ruby but I don't know if I did good at it. I also do hope I didn't do poorly this chapter so solnyx out.
