I am so sorry I haven't published any chapters!

I've been too busy: I had science fair, I had projects to do, I'm getting writer's block, I had some family issues to think of...

Please note: This takes place in the episode, "On thin ice"


It was only a month after June's arrival, and she's already gotten used to staying at Charleston. Most of the people there are pretty nice. Some were decent, but others, not so much. Nonetheless, things were going pretty fine. Though she did make it an effort to avoid Pope everyday. But not today, because June and Pope will have to work together.

Uh-oh...

June walks into the conference room, where Weaver, Tom, and other people were. They all stand around the table, thinking up strategies for something. "You wanted to see me, Tom...?" June says. Everyone in the conference room turns to look at her.

"June, you're here, just in time..." Tom says.

"What is this about...?" June asks.

"We need you and a couple of other fighters to seek out this location here..." Tom uses a red marker to circle an area on a map. June looks at it, recognizing its location.

"That's where My group and I were hiding out a couple months back..."

"Which is why we need you for this mission. We got information from the rebel skitters that a group of harnessed kids are there. We need you to go there, and take the harnessed kids back here."

"Seems simple enough..." June replies

"It may seem simple, yes, but when there's harnessed kids, there are-"

"Mechs" Weaver completed Tom's sentence.

"Right. There are always mechs guarding the children. We need you to take them down as well." Tom says.

"Cool, so who am I going with?" June crossed her arms, waiting for an answer.

"Alright! I am ready to kick some alien ass!" Pope walks into the room, then sees June.

"Oh, hell no..." Pope says

"Tom, what the hell is Pope doing here?" June says.

"He will be the one accompanying you on this mission." Tom replies.

"Bullshit. I'm not going with this guy. I'd go with anyone else, but not him. No way in hell are you making me go with this bastard."

"Well, for once we agree on something..." Pope says.

"Hey, save your childish argument for another day. What's most important right now, is taking down those mechs, and unharnessing those kids. Working together doesn't necessarily mean you gotta be friends. Just do whats gotta be done, so put your hatred of each other aside, and gear up. We're leaving now..." Weaver said. The two rivals kept their mouths shut.

-0-0-0-0-0

June, Pope, and the berserkers are all geared up. Pope gets to ride a motorbike, and June gets to sit in the car. (Lucky bastard) they head to that location, and hid there for a while, waiting for Weaver to tell them when to charge in.

"Alpha, Alpha. Phase 1 complete. Standby..." Ben and Deni swoop down, and started stabbing skitters. June and the others get ready, and then they charge through the entrance with the car.

Maggie and Hal came in, too.

Pope, Crazy Lee, and Lyle rode their vehicles, while shooting down the mechs. June, and the others who were in the car, got out to help the harness kids inside. Maggie and Hal were still looking around to make sure nothing happened.

So far, nothing.

Guess June wasn't needed after all.

But it seemed easy...too easy.

"That was easy..." someone said.

"Yea..piece of cake" says Pope.

"Button it the both of you..." Weaver said.

"Oh come on Capt, the fat lady just sang! Lets celebrate..." Pope said

"S' Colonel now, Pope, and besides, and it ain't over, till-" Before Weaver could say anything else, two mechs rose up from the rocks.

"It's over..." Pope says.

The mechs start firing, bodies flying all over the place,

"Take cover!" Weaver hollers.

Finally, it was June's turn to take a shot at them. She begins to fire with all that shes got, ducking, and rolling over, dodging the mech's cannon fires.

June hides behind a bunch of cars, and so does the others.

There was an explosion, that sent Maggie flying, hitting the car behind her. At first, her body did not want to move.

"What the hell is that?!" Pope yells. More skitters begin to come out, as they attack Ben and Deni. Rebel skitters came out to aid the fallen warriors.

"I'm out of ammo! I'm out! I'm out!" Hall yells. Maggie gets up, and begins to fire, at the mech walking towards them, and June comes to help. Together, they take out an arm.

But then, a blue energy ball came from out of nowhere, and shooting at the mech, and causing it to explode in pieces.

And enter Tom, and Cochise! On horses!

They shot at the other mech, like it was nothing.

"Oh, I gotta get me one of those..." states Pope.

A wave of relief came over everyone, as they can finally catch a breath from battling. June walks up to Cochise, who gets off his horse.

"I thought you were in Charleston. What brings you and our president here?" she asks.

"We have discovered that this location was somehow leaked to the overlords. As soon as we heard, we came here as soon as possible." Cochise responds.

"Wait...Could that mean we have a traitor among us?"

"It would appear so..."

"Every thing secured colonel...?" Tom says, as he gets off his horse.

"More or less. Wasn't an easy mission, we thought it was gonna be..."

"No...?"

"We were compromised god damn it, there's no denying it. We were like fish in a barrel for those damn mega mechs, or what ever the hell they were..."

"Looks like the Espheni got more up their sleev than we realize..lets get the hell outta here, before they figure out what happened..." Said Tom.

"Copy that...sir"

"great job everybody! What do you say we all go home!" Tom yells.

"Lets move out!" Says Weaver.

Everyone gets back into their vehicles, and rides home.

They arrive in Charleston, and the fighters get off their vehicles and horses, and go on with their daily lives. The injured were sent to the infirmary. Cochise gets off his horse, and meets with June again.

The horse nays at him.

"looks like she likes you..." June says. Cochise turns and looks at the horse. June walks up to the horse and pets her.

"Such a nice horse..." Cochise pets the horse also. June suddenly feels this chill down her neck. She turns, and sees Pope staring at her from a few feet away. She stares back, and the two of them have a stare down. Cochise breaks the stare down, by talking to June.

"I must be going. I am needed in the conference room."

"Cool, I'll see you later then." June replies. Cochise gives a nod, and begins to walk inside. Meanwhile, Pope walks up to June, just when she was about to head back to her room. He blocks her path.

"Can I help you...?" June asks in a disgusted way.

"Well, I just wanted to say, that you were awesome today. You were dodging energy beams like you knew what you were doing..."

"Oh please, I knew what I was doing the moment the aliens invaded our planet..." June says.

"Yea, well...I'd like to make you an offer."

"What kind of offer? Lemme guess, you want me to join the berserkers." June replies

"Actually, yes. Ya see, you're really skilled and we need really skilled people. Not a lot of people are as bad ass as you are..." June rolled her eyes. She knows exactly what he's trying to do. Trying to get on her good side. butt-kissing. Of course, June isn't going to fall for it. It's Pope for crying out loud! he probably has a prank for her.

"Nice try Pope, but I'm not going to join your little girl scouts club. Spreading misery and bitterness where ever you go..." June pushes pass him, and begins to walk further away,

"If you join, I wont make fun of you, or your alien lover!" June stopped in her tracks. People now began to stare. June turns back around, and walks back to Pope, staring at him face to face.

"The hell did you just say?" June hissed.

"You heard me. I said I'd leave you and your alien-" June flipped him over her shoulders. He landed on his back on the ground. Pope moans in pain.

"How bout I make an offer for you? Why don't you leave me and Cochise alone, and I wont send you to hell...?" June grins.

June leaves him lying there, as she heads back to her room. Luckily, Weaver wasn't there to see this happen.


Hope you guys liked it! I feel like this chapter is lacking something... :P
