A/N: Sorry this has taken so long and also sorry that this is a bit short.
I was going to make this chapter longer but I decided to split it into two chapters so I didn't rush through it.
Anyway, please review and I hope you enjoy :)
I do not own Pitch Perfect or any of its characters
They were walking through the steel, echoey tunnels of some anonymous alien ship. Backs to the walls as they listened for movement.
Only Chloe's heart was racing. Only she was excited and nervous.
"Heat vision on," Aubrey said in their earpiece. They all flicked a switch on their computers and the vision through their helmets went from clear to green and grainy. On the otherside of the wall they could make out the heat spots of the aliens they were hunting. "Beca, what's our next move?"
"Smoke grenade then clear the area," Beca replied. "Chloe, stick close to me."
"Got it," Chloe replied.
"Amy," Aubrey said, "would you do the honours?"
"Only if you call me by my full name."
"Fat Amy, would you, kindly, set off the friggen smoke grenade so we can clear the area?"
"Yes sir," Fat Amy replied. "Hold onto your butts, bitches!" She tossed the grenade into the space.
The grenade gave the tiniest of puffs before it filled the space with smoke.
"Now," Aubrey said. They went in, quickly eliminating the aliens, watching as the heat signatures disappeared.
Chloe stuck close behind Beca, Fat Amy and Cynthia-Rose flanking her either side, Lily following close behind.
She didn't get a chance to fire her weapon as the aliens kept dropping.
"Chloe," Aubrey said, once the area was clear, "have you located the target?"
"Straight ahead then take a right at the end. They should be in the far corner of the room," Chloe said, checking her map.
Aubrey lead them to that location and in the corner of the room sat a propped up soldier none of them had seen before.
"Okay, Red, take it away," Beca said as Chloe hurried forward to treat them.
Chloe worked quickly, assessing the soldier's injuries.
"Multiple fractures," she said. "Deep laceration to the left leg. Looks like a bite."
She administered pain meds and began trying to stem the flow of blood.
"You gotta work a bit faster Chloe," Aubrey said, hearing approaching footsteps.
"I can barely see a thing with this helmet on," Chloe replied. "Can I take-"
"No," replied Beca and Aubrey instantly.
"Guys, we need to get out of here," Cynthia-Rose said. A few seconds later and the tall, thin, almost human-like, creatures came gliding into the room. "Oh, fuck these bastards."
The aliens were totally blind. In the space where there would normally be eyes was just scarred, stretched skin. Their face completely featureless apart from a gaping mouth. When they entered the room, they opened their mouths and filled the room with a deafening scream. They were known, somewhat predictably as, the Screamers.
The scream caused the Bellas to drop their guns and clutch their ears. Once they incapacitated their intended victims, they'd lift their open palms, and then close them, causing anyone still affected by the scream to explode. It was their most efficient method of killing. Before they figured out a way to combat the scream, thousands of human lives were lost.
Including Chloe's brother.
"White noise on now!" Aubrey shouted. The Bellas tapped another switch on their computers and their helmets were filled with the sound of static. The unbearable screaming was silenced and the Bellas picked up their guns and started firing, the Screamers exploding into pixels as they were hit.
"Chloe we need to move now, they're just gonna keep on coming," Beca said. She turned to see Chloe wasn't attending to the patient anymore, but frozen, looking in the direction of the Screamers. "Chlo'?"
Beca could see from the red flashing light on her computer that Chloe hadn't turned on her white noise.
"Jesus," Beca said, doing it for her. "Relax", she said. "I know you're scared but they can't hurt you. We've got you covered, so you need to treat this patient, so we can get out of here, okay?" Chloe nodded. "You can do this."
Beca turned back towards the endless stream of Screamers and kept firing.
The Screamers, figuring out their screams had been blocked, withdrew their own weapons and began firing. Tiny pellets the size of peas which, when they came into contact with their target, expanded to the size of golf balls.
"We're running out of time," Aubrey said.
"The bleeding's stopped," Chloe said, her voice shaking. "Let's go."
Fat Amy lifted the soldier up onto her shoulder as the other Bellas formed a circle around her, protecting her from the never ending onslaught of Screamers.
"We need to clear a path," Aubrey said.
"On it," Lily replied, before throwing a grenade into the pack of Screamers. They braced themselves for the explosion, and then began running through the gap it had created.
"Don't fall behind," Beca said, taking Chloe's arm and pushing her into the group that ran ahead of them.
As they were running, a group of Screamers burst through a set of doors, catching them by surprise.
"On your right!" Aubrey shouted.
Beca reacted instinctively and pushed Chloe behind her as she turned to fire. As she aimed her gun again she felt a small vibration in her chest. The time she'd taken to make sure Chloe was safe, had caused her to get shot. In her ear piece a calm voice said "You've been hit. Shot was fatal."
"Mother fucker," Beca said. She felt a pinching sensation in her arm under her computer and a second later her legs buckled. For the second time in three weeks she was now lying paralyzed as her team formed a wall around her.
"Soldier down," Aubrey said.
Chloe knelt beside Beca and checked her computer.
It registered no heartbeat.
She reached under Beca's collar and checked her pulse, relief rushing through her as she felt it.
"What's going on down there Chloe?" Aubrey asked.
"She's, uh, dead," Chloe said.
"So what do we do?" Aubrey asked.
"Deactivate the computer, remove the tags, take the guns, and… and we leave her," Chloe said.
"Correct," Aubrey said. "Sorry, Mitchell, see you on the other side."
"You guys are the worst," Beca said.
"Dead people can't talk shorty," Fat Amy said. "Can we get out of here now?"
Lily threw another grenade and the Bellas started running again, leaving Beca behind.
They finally reached the loading bay and hit the button to open the door of their ship.
"Simulation over," a voice said.
The ship disappeared around them, along with the Screamers, and their injured soldier.
They were in the training centre of Novam Terram.
Beca's paralysis lifted and she stood up, shaking herself out.
"I ruined my record," Beca said, pulling off her helmet, furious she had been killed.
The rest of the Bellas were all smirking at her.
"What?" She said.
"Thanks for saving me back there," Chloe said.
"Uh, don't mention it," Beca said, blushing slightly.
The Bellas were smirking harder than ever.
"Someone's got it bad," Fat Amy said.
"They sure do," Cynthia-Rose said.
