Military Hijinks: Chapter 2 - Lost
Outside, in the mountains, Sgt. Grey was leading Bravo team on an mountain based exercise. Everyone was packed with MRE rations, compass's, blankets and knifes, as well as weapons and mock ammunition. As the team progressed a little up the mountain, with Cartman at the rear, moving a bit slower then everyone else, Sgt. Grey ordered them to secure themselves with rope, as the weather was turning bad.
"What for sir?" Cartman asked
"It's incase you slip, then your buddy will be able to help you." Grey said, "McCormick, secure yourself to Marsh. Broflovski, secure yourself to me, Pirrups, secure yourself to Cartman."
"Yes sir." Everyone replied. After a few minutes, the ropes were tied.
"When secure, Marsh lay down a spike, and fasten yourself to it. Cartman, you lay down a spike, and fasten yourself to it. We can then make our way back down." Grey said. As Cartman bent to fasten a spike, he lost his footing, and began to slide down the hillside.
"Oh bollocks." Pip said, as the rope went tight, pulling him also. Kenny dived forward, and grabbed for Pip, just say missing him.
"Oh my god!" Stan said, "Sir, what do we do?"
"Move down the hillside slowly, we'll pick them up at the bottom, and radio for help." Grey said, looking quite worried. Meanwhile, Cartman and Pip were sliding at high speed, towards a cliff.
"OH SHIT!" Cartman screamed, as the ground suddenly gave way and they fell, the ground bellow rushed up to meet them. Cartman and Pip blacked out.
A little while later, Pip woke up, his stomach was hurting like crazy. Forcing himself to sit up, he tried to remain calm.
"Cartman?" he asked, seeing Eric lying nearby, the snow around him was crimson. Pip dragged himself over, and assessed how bad it was.
"CARTMAN!" Pip yelled.
Cartman opened his eyes, and screamed, "Jesus, my leg!"
"What leg is it?" Pip asked.
"Mah left leg." Cartman said. Pip took his knife out, and cut the material of Cartmans trouser leg open.
"It's not as bad as i thought." Pip said, "I can bandage that up."
"You know first aid?" Cartman asked
"Yes, practiced on myself whenever i got hurt." Pip said, taking out the items he needed from the first aid kit, and bandaged Cartman's leg, "This will stop it getting worse, but you need a doctor. We must get to cover, a cave or something."
"I packed a tent into my bag." Cartman said, "I was sick of Kenny putting that Parka onto my head to muffle my snoring, so i was going to camp out when we got back to the base."
"Excelent, a tent is just what we need. We need to stay warm." Pip said, setting off to work, building the tent. After 30 minutes, he was able to set it up, and moved Cartman inside. Exiting to pick up the gear, he dragged the bags inside, and fastened the tent.
"Okay, we've bought ourself some time. We need a hot drink. Hmm, no coffee, do you like tea?" Pip asked
"Never tried it." Cartman said
"Well, their's allways a first for everything huh?" Pip asked, with a chuckle.
