"... you." Tex says, her voice changer on, she stares at Violet. "Wait.. you?" Tucker asks, suspiciously. "You--you're blue base right?" Tex saves herself. "Correct." Violet says, a smile still on her face though her voice stayed professional. "Who is your Captain?" Tex asks. "That would be me." Violet says. "Okay... we need to speak about plans." Tex replies, matter-of-fact. Violet nods, "Boys, I need you two to go on a patrol, and Tucker don't be mean to Caboose." Tucker stares at the two, and groans. "Come on Caboose. Let's go." He mumbles and walks off. Caboose rushes after him.
"New... what the fuck are you doing here." Tex growls, turning off her voice changer. " I'm just here to keep an eye on Alpha." Violet replies to her, with a tiny shrug, she started to feel a lecture coming on. Tex walks over to her and pulls her into a hug. Sure she was angry, she thought New would finally start a normal life... but she went back to square one with this Freelancer bullshit. "It's good to see you New..." Tex sighs. the last time they saw each other their ship crashed... and Maine went crazy and became Meta and killed Carolina... Violet missed her friends. Just like Tex missed hers. They split off after the incident. Tex became the Freelancer. Violet stayed on the mission without Tex knowing where or what she was doing. Tex let's go of Violet. "You... aren't mad Tex?" She asks.
"No... I'm just glad to see you New... So.. where is he? The Alpha.. Um Church?" Tex asks. "He was shot by the tank and thinks he's a ghost. Actually he showed up a second ago, Zeta believes he's trying to look for a host..."
Tex let's out a 'hmph.' "Look um... Tex. These guys think I'm a Captain, as well as the blue Command. Here I'm Captain Rue... or Violet as they like to call me."
"Huh, you're using your real name? A bit risky, don't you think?"
Violet shakes her head. "No."
Texas shrugs at her. "Oh Um by the way, New, Violet is a good color on you. Kinda miss the green armor though." Tex says.
"Yeah, me too. That's one reason why Devil is on her way. I told Zeta to tell her to bring my armor."
"Woah, there, I'm sorry. Hark De vil? Why?"
"I'm sorry Tex, I just need her to cover up your tracks... and mine. We don't need more freelancer's here."
"Yeah... okay, okay. I'll trust you. Anyways what's the problem here anyways?"
"Our flag was stolen, Church blew up, as well as our tank." Violet explains briefly. She rubs the back of her neck nervously as Tex starts laughing. "New. You are losing your Freelancer touch, why didn't you get the flag yourself, you were the third best Freelancer." Tex laughs. Violet's nose scrunches up as it does when she gets pissed and her cheek burned red. "I couldn't blow my cover Tex! I'm still good!" Violet whimpers like a child. "Yeah, sure kiddo, anyways let's get going on this flag business." Tex says. Violet unscrunches her nose, and radios Tucker, "Hey Tucker, I need you and Caboose back to base please."
"Yeah... yeah. We're on our way." Tucker mumbles. "OH MY GOD IS THAT VIOLET-"
"Damnit Caboose be quiet!!" Tucker snarls before hanging up. Violet giggles lightly.
"That's basically it sir, they have five guys over there and a big jeep." Tucker explains.
"And your flag." Tex mumbles her voice deep again, reloading her gun. She then keeps shooting.
"Right, that too."
Tex throws a grenade. When it lands it makes a huge explosion causing Tucker to flinch. Violet rushes up to the roof. "What was that?!" Violet sees Caboose up against a pillar like thing. He was shaking uncontrollably with bullet holes in the pillar behind him. "I'm scared." He whimpers. "Excuse me Texas, what the hell do you think you're doing?!" snaps New, this wasn't fake, New Mexico felt like she was responsible for these soldiers, so to protect them she will need to keep Tex from killing them. "Target Practice." Tex shrugs. "You do not use MY soldiers for Target practice, you got it?!" Violet snarls. Tex and Tucker just stared at Violet both were surprised at her stern attitude, Caboose just stayed where he was in shock. "Do. You. Got. It?!" V growls. "Yes, Captain." Tex simply says, little does anyone know, under her mask she was beaming with pride. Caboose rushes up to Violet's side. Tucker decides to take Tex's attention off of his Captain. " So, you've got the Special Forces black armor, I see. Were you in the Special Forces at some point?" Tucker asks. Tex ignored him and cocks her gun. " Yeah, I used to have black armor too. It was black because I got this stuff all over it from th-" Tex jumps off the roof of the base, landing on her feet. "Oh, okay, you gotta go? I'll see you later." Tucker says, almost hopelessly. Caboose leans over toward Tucker and whispers, " I don't think he likes you."
"Thanks." Tucker mumbles.
"Don't take it personally Tucker, he's just a hard case." Violet says.
Tucker shrugs, he didn't care at all. "Where are you going?" He calls out to Tex.
"Red base. Kill everybody. Get the flag back." Tex replies. Violet looks down at her. "I don't think that's bright." She tells her old friend. "Do you have a better idea Captain?" Tex snaps. Violet raise an eyebrow. " Actually, I do." Another 'hmph' escaped Tex's lips as she walks away. "Uh... Okay! We'll just stay here and guard the trans... porter..." Caboose says, unsure. Tucker and Violet exchange glances when a random sweet, yet stern voice says, "Well.. Well... Why is the great Cin Rue letting a Freelancer out of her sight, seems like someone is losing their touch." Violet turns to see a woman in unique armor, it was white with tan and red outlines, the armor fit her curves perfectly, on her hands were medal like claws, and her visor was a well... "Devil" red. V heaves out a sigh making her yellow visor fog a bit, but it quickly disappears. "WHERE IS THAT VOICE COMING FROM?" Caboose shouts, while still looking to where Tex ran. Tucker had turned as well. "Who the fuck are you?" Snaps Tucker as he raises his gun. Caboose finally turns, "Oh! Silly me, HI! I'm Micheal J. Caboose!"
"The names Hark De vil." She says smoothly. "Or Devil for short, nice to meet you boys."
"WHY ARE THERE SO MANY NEW PEOPLE IN THIS GOD DAMN CANYON." Tucker groans. Devil raises an eyebrow. "I only came because your captain told me too."
"What?! Why?" Tucker asks, turning to me. "Tucker, I needed someone to keep an eye on Texas." Violet lies. "I just had to make sure she doesn't kill you or Caboose... or me." That part was closer to the truth. Tucker stares at her, "I don't believe you." Violet sighs, "You don't have to Tucker..."
"Guess I'm hanging with you all until this blows over." Devil chuckles. "We don't need new people." Tucker growls. "Well to bad Honey, because you have someone new." Devil snickers. Suddenly there's a huge, loud explosion over at red base. Everyone turns back toward that direction. "Damnit." Violet mumbles. "Hello, Texas." Devil grins, almost evilly under her helmet.
