Generals : part 3 (Traitors)


Day 1. Time 08:10. Barn.

Team Archangels 4 kills (10pts / 1spy, 3privates).
Team Le Creuset 0 kills.

"Sorry boys, better luck next time. But look on the brighter side, we serve proper meals here and none of you would have to put up with canned goods anymore." Mu smiled sympathetically at the three, unlocking the door to the barn for them to enter.

"I feel so useless though." Kuzzey admitted with his back slouched.

"I totally agree with you. This is all your fault, Tolle." Slouching as well, Sai frowned glaring at the third teen who could only sigh.

"I should of known Yzak would send us to our deaths."

Day 3. Time 02:30. Somewhere in the forest.

Team Archangels 25 kills (130pts / 4spies, 18privates, 3Sergeants).
Team Le Creuset 6 kills. (60pts / 6privates).

Unfamiliar rock, suspicious tree, unsafe hill and stream, and more creepy looking trees.

Forced into her first day away from base, being rather careful of her surroundings, Flay hoisted her handgun and flashlight closer to her chest unable to hide her anxiety. What's worst- she was also now officially lost. In the forest... in the dark... where there would be plenty who'd be more than happy to scare the shit out of her and take her life just for fun.

At the sound of branch breaking, Flay jumped and quickly flashed her gun left and right, at nobody. She glanced down at her shorts with the frayed hem, her now sandy sneakers. She had stepped on a twig. Only a twig. She exhaled a breath of relief.

Picking up the pace and wandering aimlessly around in the dark... Flay breathed deep. God, she wasn't cut out for this. She wasn't raised for this barbarism. She was a lady! And ladies shouldn't be carrying guns, dirtying their hands, running around in huge forests, sleeping on dirt, not using toilets, and not taking baths!

It was a good bet that Shiho must seriously hate her for sending her out alone so early in the morning like this just to look for Cagalli. Why couldn't it be Luna? Why couldn't it be Meer? Why couldn't Miriallia or anyone else for that matter come with her?

A blast of wind blew her half-ponytail into a thick red whip. Flay jumped at the cold brushes that tried to sneak under her shirt. But like before, it was nothing, only air.

"Ca- Cagalli?"

In the middle of nowhere, Flay stopped at a deserted looking cabin. She had a feeling Cagalli could be in there, but she couldn't make herself go inside. ... No. On second thought, deal with it. Flay swallowed because she could have sworn she saw a shadow formed in the nearby trees.

Guided only by her small flashlight, Flay's pulse was galloping, but she made herself slowly climb the wooden steps. "Cagalli? ... Cagalli, are you in here?" Flay uttered softly, glancing around. "... You know it's really not funny just to take off on your own in the middle of the night like that... You know Shiho's really mad at you right now. ... Cagalli?"

No answer.

"Cagalli? ... Please? It's really dark and spooky out... and I don't know my way back."

A movement to her left had her wrapping her fingers tight around her gun and turning quickly. Her heart continued to beat in hard jerks as she constantly feared something was going to jump at her.

"You."

"Kyaaa! Please don't eat me! I don't taste as good as I look!" Badass heroine fail. In automatic defense, Flay closed her eyes, drew back, and nailed her arms together forming a large cross, uneasy to realize how far from everyone she had wandered. She was going to die; eaten by ghouls and no one would hear her scream!

"Stupid. Who would want to eat you?"

What? Really?

When Flay had mustered enough courage to finally open her eyes again, she automatically sank to the floor with tears of relief. It was living person. It was just Yzak. Thank God for that. He wasn't exactly her favorite person but beggars can't be choosers.

"I thought you were an undead..." Flay admitted.

Rolling his eyes, "women." Yzak came around to her, crouched at her feet, picking up the flashlight and gun that she had unintentionally dropped onto the floor. "Here," he said, handing both back to her.

"You're not going to kill me?" She asked, looking up to study him.

He kept his eyes on hers. He had good eyes, Flay thought. Smart ones, but impatient too. Quickly, he pointed his own flashlight to a sign board hammered on the wall. "Read the signs, would you. I wouldn't be able to kill you even if I want to. The suits automatically de-activates in this place."

And Yzak spoke the truth. Flay hadn't noticed it at first but the beacons on her vest had disappeared similar to his. And the sign read:

Clinic (Neutral territory)

No Fights.

No Running.

No Loitering.

No Phones.

Please observe silence.

"I'll definitely kill you next time though. And it would be easy." Yzak assured her.

Flay blushed, glancing away. It was because she had to scream like a frightened crazy lady. "Monsters I can't handle. Guys like you, I can handle." She stammered, brushing off the dust on her behind as she stood.

Pft. "In your dreams." Yzak walked off.

Scared to be left alone again in a creepy looking place, Flay rushed to follow. "It's not so impossible! The kills are 25 to 6, you know!" Although Flay had to admit she had been no help to the recent killings. It mostly had been Cagalli, Lunamaria, Stellar and Shiho's work. Asagi, Juri and Mayura helped some too.

Yzak growled at the reminder. "All a bunch of flukes!"

Despite herself, Flay smirked. "All 25?"

Yzak kept walking, only stopping to check on room after room as if in search for something.

"That's because Athrun's too soft and this team is filled with incapable ninnies! If I had it my way, I would have had the guys taken down your entire team on the first day!"

Geez... everything about him was so direct and uncompromising. No wonder everyone called him women-hater. "Can't you pretend to be humble?" Flay pouted. Okay, probably a delicate female such as herself wouldn't stand a chance against someone like Yzak. But Cagalli, Lunamaria, Stellar and Shiho can put up a pretty decent fight in spite being women so it wouldn't be wise to simply brush them off.

Changing the subject, "anyways, what are you do-"

Flay gasped when Yzak suddenly pinned her against the wall forcefully, pressing their chests together.

"Shh... Be quiet." Flay's eyes widen, confused to what was going on. "I suspected there was a traitor among us. Someone has been leaking our whereabouts to your team." He whispered to her ears while muffling her with his hand. "Aren't you even a little bit curious how the girls have been oddly getting the upper hand or did you and your friends really think it was all because of your own puny efforts?"

Now, Flay glared at Yzak. This bastard! But she wasn't blind or deaf to the pair of approaching flashlights and footsteps. She could actually hear the voices coming from the corridor too. One belonging to a girl; the other a guy.

"We really shouldn't be doing this anymore... I mean once or twice was fun, but what if we get caught this time?" said the girl.

"Now, wouldn't that be kinky." The guy chuckled.

"Oh, you're so bad." The girl giggled. "But no. I'm just afraid Cagalli might feel betrayed if she knew what we're doing."

"Don't worry too much about it. Athrun doesn't knows what's going on either. And please don't say your backing out now... I would have snuck out for nothing and C3 is just around the corner."

That made Yzak and Flay looked up at the sign board above them. It read: Clinic 3.

"Hurry and get in." Yzak ordered on impulse.

Flay shook her head no. "Why would I need to-"

But before she could finish, Yzak's hand had circled her arm as she attempted to move past him. His grip wasn't firm but she couldn't break free...

00000

Leaving him no choice, he dragged the refusing girl into C3. There were a pair of canopy bed there, one on each side of the room. He hauled her with him into the one with the open curtain and closed them in.

Flay clawed at him. Damn it, this was why he didn't like women. They were extra baggage and nothing but trouble.

He muffled her mouth again when she tried to scream. Then exerting his dominance, he sat on her hips, rending her immobile when she tried to escape. And still the girl just wouldn't give up.

"I said be quiet. You'll get us caught." He hissed. Eventually, he was forced to bind her wrists over her head as well.

The door opened and closed.

"Wow, not bad at all," giggled the girl. "Now where were we?"

And then the next moment, Yzak felt Flay stilled underneath him at the same time he swore- heard- realized that the couple had started making-out just a few feet away from them. Panting. Ravishing. Yzak felt his blood rage. Wha- what the hell were those two thinking- doing things like that in his presence! Have they no shame!

"Just hold on a second, okay? I can't get kinky with someone listening on us," said the guy.

"Oh my God, someone's in here?" asked the girl.

And for the first time since he'd been hiding, Yzak felt the beat of his own heart, the rise and fall of his own chest. The surrounding spaced closed in when the silhouette of the man approached the canopy bed and, he and Flay, they were trapped.

Shit. They were going to get caught. They were going to get caught!

Yzak unconsciously turned to look at Flay for help, but Flay couldn't look at him.

She's really pissed at him for dragging her into this, huh?

Then it finally occurred to him. Why the hell was he hiding in the first place? He was the law, not the lawless! He wasn't the one selling off their plans to the enemy for a seven freakin' minutes in heaven!

Screw it! He was going to bust the traitor before the guy could realize what hit him!

Letting go of Flay, Yzak yank the curtains open and jumped out from the canopy, yelling 'HA! I've caught you, you bastard!' at the same time the said traitor pulled away the curtain of the bed... across from his, unveiling their glorious leader... caught in the middle of a make-out with the enemy's... glorious leader...

Yzak was speechless.

Whaaat? WTF did he just witness right now?

The half dressed Cagalli bolted underneath Athrun from being discovered, accidentally smacking the guy directly on the nose.

Unable to erase the image of mental betrayal, "Athrun?" Yzak exclaimed with shock. "It was you? I would have taken this irresponsible shit from Rusty or Nicol, but you!"

"Yzak?" Dearka turned to him also equally shocked. "What are you doing here?"

After crawling out from the canopy, "Milly?" Flay called out after spotting the brunette.

"Flay!" Cagalli gasped, scrambling to cover herself.

Both Athrun and Miriallia were just plain speechless.

And then making matters worst, someone had kicked the door open. All eyes turned to Shinn who was standing at the entrance, surveying all six who were spotted in an awkward predicament with an obviously proud look on his face.

"I caught them, everyone!" Shinn announced, grinning. "I caught the traitors!"
