Crunch

'This is going to be interesting.' I thought to myself as I walked towards the landing bay.

They whole area was clear and empty in comparison to yesterday. The mess had been cleared away, and the only things left were a few jets.

I walked towards the group hanging around in the center. I heard Ripcord first. "I can't believe this! He said 700, right?"

I walked up behind him. "Yes I did."

Ripcord jumped two feet in the air. "AHH! What?!"

"I wanted to see how much you would respect an order from a superior who you've never met before."

A black haired girl I assumed was Jinx spoke up. "You were testing us?"

"Yes, I was. Get used to it. General Hawk didn't explain what I'm actually here for." I circled the group while speaking. "After the whole Eiffel Tower was destroyed, there was a unanimous agreement for the G.I. Joes to be evaluated. I was chosen to do the evaluation."

"What does that mean?" Scarlett injected.

"Nothing you need to worry about. I still have to evaluate you, but I already know that the Joes are an efficient branch of the military. Though I think this squad could use improvement, hence the recruits."

A grinding overhead signaled an aircraft preparing to land. Everyone moved out of the way to give the jet room. I chose to ignore Ripcord's grumbling.

After slowly lowering to the ground the plane's engine slowed once the landing gear hit the ground. The airlock door slid open, as the overhead entrance to the facility closed.

A woman stepped out first, the churning wind from the landing blew her brown hair behind her as her hazel eyes stared right at me. It was all very dramatic till she was pushed aside. A figure in black jumped off the plane, "Sorry got to go," she squeezed out as she passed dissapearing down the hallway.

The hair lady straitened herself out as the rest of the passengers emptied out and lined up in front of the jet. I smiled as the woman in black returned and stood in place with the others. I turned around to face the Alphas, Duke was frowning at the line of officers everyone else had a look of surprise plastered on their face. All except for Snake Eyes whose emotion was hidden behind his mask and visor.

"Let me be the one to handle the introductions. We could be here all day otherwise so I'll just give you the need to know." I spun to look at the recruits behind me. "Make yourself known when I call you."

"This is Tunnel Rat," an Asian man in blue overalls with a green shirt and black hair sticking out of a red beanie stepped forward. "He's a private first class and an explosives expert. You can move back now."

"I look forward to working with y'all." A dark skinned man with tattoos running down his arms spoke up and faced me. "Thank you captain, but I can introduce myself. I'm Roadblock, corporal first class and heavy machine gunner."

"How heavy are we talking?" Heavy Duty asked.

Roadblock moved up. "I can pick up anything."

"We'll see about that."

"Yeah yeah, we get it." The brown haired woman moved forward, her heels clicking on the floor, waved a dismissive hand. "We're not replacing anyone," she pursed her lips in thought, "On second thought, we might." She smiled as she flipped her long hair over her shoulder, "I'm BQ, and I've flown first class before. I'm a fighter that's all you need to know."

It was real quiet for a moment, "Okay, that wasn't rude at all." A soft voice dripping in sarcasm turned everyone's attention to the figure in black. A caramel toned woman in black slacks and dress shirt with light brown eyes appeared next to BQ. "You shouldn't be so mean to people you haven't met with yet. It sets off a bad first impression."

"Whatever." BQ flipped her hair again.

"People call me Beast," the woman moved to shake Duke's hand, "I am ranked sergeant and so is BQ. I specialize in covert ops."

I was already laughing at this point, "Yeah, thanks Beast. All that's left is Hi-Tech," a tall blond with green goggle stepped forward, "but no one cares about you." The man stepped back with his shoulders slumped and Beast patted his shoulder. "I'm gonna distribute you among your new army mates. And you all will get to know each other and be friendly," I emphasized while looking at BQ. Duke and Heavy Duty you get Roadblock. Ripcord you have Tunnel Rat. Scarlett and BQ can go to see our arsenal. Breaker you can show Hi-Tech your equipment-"

BQ smirked, "I want to go and see some equ-"

"Quiet, and no comments" I continued knowing what she was thinking. "Jinx and Snake Eyes you should show your fellow ninja, Beast, around. You're all going to be working together for a while, keep that in mind."

I smiled as I walked this really is going to be interesting.
