Wow it's been a while and I truly do apologize. Sometimes life takes over your time. I have not been able to update because for one my fam had to take an unexpected trip outside the country and then I missed a week of school so you can imagine the load of make up work that I got considering I am taking some advanced courses. And then ideas for this chapters just would not come.
So like any insane person I went on a WWII benge. I watche devery single WWII movie that I owned and the one movie that finally got my idea going was Enemy at the Gates. XD Though I did watch it like six times before the damn idea struck. And then the boggest problem of all. Putting it on paper. Or in this case the screen. XP But I finally got it up. XD Thank you for your support! I really appreciate my reviewers. XD
Warnings: Blah blah blah...need anything else?
Disclaimer: Lovely...I hate this thing. If I owned Beyblade there would be a lot more blood (I mean come on in Bryan's and Rei's battle there should have been some blood. And some broken bones) and a lot of not sure but a lot of Kai/Rei Kai/Tala Bryan/Rei...yeah you get the point I DON'T OWN BEYBLADE! ;)
Ready Review & Enjoy!
Chapter 03 Sniper Wolf
Rei exhaled shakily as he finally stopped skidding on the icy ground. He looked behind him and shook his head at the mountain of ruble that lay just a few feet behind him. "I hate this" he mumbled to himself as he unsteadily got to his feet. Hissing softly as he felt blood come down the side of his face.
"Stop!" Rei's ears twitched he recognized that language. He slowly turned around and almost smiled at the Red Army uniform that greeted him. The guy standing before him was one he'd never seen before he was short and with an extremely long nose. Just then block from the building beside him fell right on the spot he would have been. He blinked as the dust got into his eyes.
"You must be that refugee pilot Tala took in" the short man mumbled to himself as he walked forward and dangerous looking rifle in his hand one Rei had never seen. "I'm Ian Valkivich" "Rei Kon" Rei nodded and shook the guy's hand firmly. Nodding Ian looked around and spotted the rifle Rei had in his hand. "You any good with it?" he asked suddenly "Um I wouldn't know" Rei answered as he looked down at t he rifle in his hand. "Oh yeah that's right you and Kai are exactly the same" Ian snickered as he lifted the rifle and inspected quickly "It's in good condition it's the perfect rifle for a beginner, the MP41, this rifle was the first rifle I ever shot and then of course I upgraded to my baby" he said caressing the barrel of his Mosin-Nagant sniper.
"It's easy to use but I'll let you figure it out on your own right now I need to find Spencer. Bastard disappeared on me" Ian grumbled handing back the rifle and started to look through his pockets. Rei frowned but decided to stick to this short guy maybe he could lead him to Tala or Kai. "You know Kai?" Rei asked suddenly "Da" Ian answered absentmindedly as he slowly started to move towards an opening in one of buildings. Rei shut his mouth and followed silently sensing that the smaller Russian was going to get ready for something. Ducking behind the wall Rei saw Ian kneel down and cock the large weapon adjusting the sights to whatever he was looking at.
Rei carefully looked inside and noticed that it had once been a shop and on the other side there were soldiers their language giving them away to being Nazis. Noticing there were too many for one sniper and him he looked down at Ian's belt and noticed the grenades hanging from his belt. "Aren't you going to use those?" he asked very quietly as he kept an on the Germans. "I was just thinking about it" Ian said as he reached for one and quickly looked around before looking at the group of Germans who were talking quietly outside the shop.
"I'll do it I trained in the jungles and know how to move quietly" Rei murmured as he crawled silently with a hand outstretched for the grenade. Ian nodded and handed him the grenade "Hand me your MP41" Ian said grabbing unto the rifle and setting it down gently as he watched Rei move silently into the room. He watched amazed as the Chinese made no sound whatsoever.
Breathing deeply Rei crouched right under the broken window this time hearing the group talking loudly. Slowly he moved and peeked over the ledge and smirked seeing that all of them were facing the street smoking their cigarettes. Carefully he pulled the pin from the grenade and laid it down behind the guy in front of him. Holding his breath stood and turned and ran this time knowing they would hear him.
Just as he passed the opening the first shots of their rifles rang out but they had no time to follow as the grenade exploded.
Rei leaned against the wall and let out a rush air. "That was nerve racking" he said quietly when Ian handed him his rifle. "Nah I've been in worst situations but I've never seen anyone move so silently" Ian said as he joined the Chinese. "Now come I need to find Spencer" he said and quickly but carefully moved towards where he had seen Rei before. "How do you plan to climb over this mountain?" Rei asked exaggerating the mount of fallen bricks and dirt from the building right beside it. "Climbing" was his answer and Rei watched the short Russian start climbing up using the big pieces of concrete as leverage. "Hurry up" the Russian called as he reached the top and moved towards a hole in the building.
Blinking Rei scrambled up the mount the same way Ian had. "Give me a stupid Hellcat any day" he grumbled as a piece of metal cut his hand. "Stop your mumbling and hurry up" Ian whispered harshly as he looked at the Chinese. "Why are you in a hurry?" Rei whispered back as he finally crawled into the building "Because someone would have heard that grenade and are probably looking for us" Ian explained quickly as he looked around the building and spotted some curtains. "Use those for your hand. Can't have you bleeding all over the place" he said as he moved to look inside another room Mosin-Nagant ready to fire if necessary.
Rei hurriedly bandaged his hand the blood immediately soaking up into the curtain type material. He slung his rifle into his hands and moved to join Ian in the other room. He opened his mouth only to shut it when he saw Ian crouched by the window the sniper resting on the ledge ready to shoot. He moved silently his loose hair swishing silently behind him. Crouching he rested his rifle as well but since his didn't have a scope he just looked for anyone Ian might have been aiming at.
Just as his eyes caught movement to his left Ian fired a shot the man falling to the ground blood streaking his face. "Wow" Rei murmured at the sharpshooter as the other stood and moved to climb out the window onto a ledge outside. "It takes practice to be able to pull a shot like that" Ian said as Rei followed him down. "You may think I'm good but there is someone way better; Sniper Wolf." Ian then jumped down and looked around before signaling for Rei to go ahead and come down.
When the Chinese didn't move Ian looked up "What's wrong with you? Are you afraid of heights?" he asked quietly. Rei shook his head as his eyes narrowed and his ears twitched. "The Luftwaffe is flying towards us" he said before he jumped down not even letting his knees an ankles absorb the shock before he grabbed Ian and started to run down the smashed up street. "How would you know?" Ian asked yanking his arm back. "Because I've fought them in the air before, I know what they sound like" Rei answered as he looked behind them noticing the black dots coming towards them. "We need to hide" Rei mumble, "Come on then, might as well find out is Spencer is there" Ian grumbled as he yanked the Chinese into a building and quickly lifted a floor board to reveal an underground passage.
"Hey Spencer you down there?" Ian asked as the two climbed in. "Yeah I was about to go after you but the idiots announced the Luftwaffe was coming towards us" "They are Spence China here spotted them while on our way here" Ian smirked nodding to the clueless Chinese who just looked from one to the other. Snorting softly Spencer nodded to the Chinese as he picked up his Mosin-Nagant from the where it was leaning against the wall. Rei noticing the same weapon looked at the two questioningly. "Don't ask" Spencer said softly his Russian accent very thick. Now that he thought about it Ian's accent was hardly even there almost the same as Tala and Kai's "Um how is it that you don't have such a big accent?" Rei asked Ian. The short man looked at him before he pushed his indigo hair out of his eyes. "Because before all this I was studying to be part of the Stalin party and for that you must be able to speak English and Russian" he said as he shouldered his weapon gesturing for Rei to do the same. "That's interesting" Rei murmured but received no comment as he followed the other two down the winding way of the tunnel.
Ears twitching slightly Rei looked up at the dirt ceiling just when the Earth shook under his feet. "Shit!" he yelled as a particularly big rock landed on his shoulder. He ran after the other two as they tried to escape the collapsing tunnel.
Coming out of the tunnel he sighed in relief as he noticed that the tunnel led out under a bridge. They heard the distant roar of the war planes as they turned back to go to base. "They were aiming to destroy our tunnels" Spencer said as he heard the rumble of the collapsing tunnels. Ian nodded as he looked around his ears straining to hear any type of firing rifles and guns. "Guess they are going to lie low for a while" Ian mumbled to Spencer who nodded. "Might as well start heading back" Spencer said as he grabbed his rifle and turned off the safety.
Rei content on not having to know what they just said to each other followed their lead and set his rifle ready turning the safety off.
The two Russians nodded to each other proceeded to move Ian momentarily glancing back at the Chinese to make sure he was following them. Rei easily kept up with them occasionally looking behind him to make sure no one was following them. His ears had begun to get accustomed to the relative silence until Ian began to speak of course Rei understood no word of it but still listened to the strange language.
"You think they'll be there still?" Ian asked looking up at the tall blond Ian asked looking up at the tall blond. "Yeah the planes didn't go that far so we might wanna hurry" Spencer said but stopped suddenly when bullets hit the ground in front of him. Rei stopped and immediately looked towards where the bullets had come from. He frowned when Ian smirked and put down his weapon. "You know you could've killed me?" Spencer asked a smirk touching his lips. The smirk the other carried surprised and annoyed Rei. He did not feel like seeing the Great Commander right now.
Crimson eyes traveled to him and his smirk seemed to widen just a bit more. "Hmm I see you brought the tiger with you" he said walking over to the Chinese, the Thompson rifle loosely held in his hand. Seeing the weapon in Rei's hand he couldn't help but smirk "Maybe you shouldn't touch rifles tiger, you'd do better being the flying tiger you are" he teased making Rei glare at him. "Jerk I bet I can beat you in the air anytime. You may be the only Russian who can fly but I've been flying since I was in China and yes I would like to have a plane and I would leave gladly" Rei spat eyes narrowing in anger. "You do know what the penalty is for disrespecting your superior, don't you?" Kai asked with a gleam in his eyes as he took a paper out of his pocket. "You, yourself signed this knowing the consequences but I do believe I'll let it slide this time around, after all you're injured I must imagine it is painful" Kai said leaning in their faces only centimeters apart.
Rei felt his cheeks get hot but was glad his skin did not color like the pale skin of the Russians. It bothered him that he blushed when the Russian got close to him. "Might as well let you inside so that Alex can look at the nasty wound on your shoulder" Kai said moving away and walking towards the building that Rei guessed they set up as the new headquarters. Slowly Rei followed his rifle at his side.
Entering he saw the flurry of activity and then spotted Alex and he did not exactly look happy. "You know you cause a lot of headaches. Good thing Tala isn't here to skin you" he said as he sat Rei down and took out his supplies. "What do you mean?" Rei asked as he pulled his shirt off. "He came back about two hours after you left and when he saw you weren't there he vowed he was going to go after you. Then Kai showed up and gave him an assignment to take care off. I believe you should thank Kai after all he did save you from being killed by the wolf" Alex snickered when Rei glared at him over his shoulder.
Cleaning his wounds Alex complimented Rei on not having any serious injury. "You must be the luckiest bastard to grace our side of the battlefield" Alex commented as he finished up bandaging his shoulder. "What do you mean?" Rei asked as he put the shirt back on not caring that it was still covered in blood. Alex gave him a look before shaking his head "Kon you idiot you survived a plane crash, survived Kuznetsov's bash against your chest…mind you that should have broken like two ribs, plus you just survived that whole ordeal out there?" Alex raised an eyebrow with amusement. Rei said nothing but grinned none the less.
"Cocky little bastard" Alex chuckled and walked away to check on his injured soldiers. Just then a couple of guys came in at a run shouting something in fast Russian that even Alex almost didn't catch. Rei blinked and looked to where they were pointing out the door to someone or many as it seemed when two guys came in supporting the third. Rei stood up and grabbed his rifle so he wouldn't be in the way when Alex started to work. Almost instantly shouting took over and Rei quickly escaped before he got a headache. Heading outside he noticed Ian and Spencer were talking along with some others in a huddle.
"That's the wolf squad for you" Rei barely heard from two Russians who quickly hurried into the building. A little surprised that they spoke English Rei looked back forward only to be greeted by a pair of angry moonlight colored eyes. "Ivanov is beyond pissed at you" he said quietly, Rei's eyes strayed to the rifle he carried and noticed it was the same as Ian's a Mosin-Nagant. "Fascinating isn't kitty. Too bad you're just a pilot you probably had the biggest trouble carrying that baby weapon around" he gestured to the MP41 in Rei's hand. Rei glared but didn't say anything "Oh nothing to say? Listen carefully you little Chinese you don't belong here I suggest you go give that rifle to someone who can really work it and you go and sit down in a corner" Bryan sneered as he grabbed the rifle by the barrel.
"Kuznetsov let him go he signed the contract he is officially under my command so let him go" Bryan and Rei looked over at Tala who looked nothing like the Tala Rei knew. Nodding Bryan let him go and walked away grumbling to himself. Rei swallowed with difficulty as he was assaulted by Tala's icy blue eyes. Though the raven haired couldn't help but look over the redheaded Russian. A cape fluttered lightly in the wind revealing the uniform under it which was dirty along with the boots that were on his feet. Rei then lifted his gaze and momentarily met the ice blue eyes before he looked away and took a step back.
Seeing the move Tala moved with lightning speed and caught his arm. Rei gritted his teeth and held firm resisting the urge to cringe away. "Rei why did you break it? Do you have any what the RAF would have done to us if we told them that we let you die?" Tala asked as looked down at the raven hair. "Would it matter they think I'm dead" Rei answered tightly meeting the blue eyes head on. Tala set his jaw as he landed a hand on Rei's shoulder "Ever thought that Kai isn't as heartless as you might have thought?" he asked quietly squeezing slightly causing Rei to wince and try to get out of his hold. Tala glanced down at his hand and noticed the blood smearing the shirt and then looked over the Chinese taking in wrapped hand as well.
"What?" Rei asked disbelievingly "Idiot" Tala shook his head and removed his hand instead laying it on his arm "Did you honestly think Kai was going to break the rules with the RAF?" Rei didn't answer and instead looked over Tala's shoulder at the some of the soldiers who were enjoying a break after what happened during the night. Just then Rei realized that he hadn't slept since he left the Allied base a couple of days and the cat nap he had, had earlier did not count. "Rei, are you okay?" Tala asked noticing the raven hair had spaced out.
"Kon, I got one my eight help me out!" "I got it!...ksssh...Shit!"
Rei blinked out of the memory before looking up at Tala who looked concerned "You okay there tiger?" "Yeah" Rei answered a little without feeling as he adjusted the rifle in his hand. Sighing Tala allowed a small smile to grace his lips "Come on I can tell you need the sleep" he said leading Rei into the temporary officer's quarters.
Rei laid down on the cot that Tala had pointed out was his. Laying on his side Rei watched Tala carefully, the Mosin-Nagant rifle leaning against the cot caught his attention immediately. "Tala what's the wolf squad?" Rei asked looking at Tala who paused and looked over at him. "The Wolf Squad is a group of elite snipers, I just happen to be the leader" Tala answered pointing at the sniper on the side of his bed. "You are Sniper Wolf right?" Rei asked quietly.
Tala sat down with his back to Rei "I'm Sniper Wolf."
That was the line that had me writing until I finished. XD I thought it was genious but that's just me.
Anyways please feedback is really appreciated. I really love you all.
Um...about the MP41 that is an actual rifle it was the rifle the Americans used along with the British during the war and along with the USSR. And Mosin-Nagant is an actual Russian Sniper. It was widely used during the war by the snipers. Yes I know I'm a WWII junky there is a bit of info I was kind of surprised to find about the Red Army. And that was the majority of their snipers were women. XD Yeah you go girls. And some chick I think her was Nina she killed the most out of all the snipers that the Red Army had.
Well anyways please Review it would make me very happy. ;)
