Chaos with a touch of Stealth
-Chapter Nine-
"The sun on my face
The wind brushing by my helmet
Defeated by the cold of winter"
"You're just a suit of joy aren't you?"
"?"
"Never mind"
"….ok"
"So…..Krieg. Who was that girl?
"NOT YOUR CONCERN!"
"But…."
"I SAID NOT YOUR CONCERN! She's dead now anyways, no point knowing now"
"Ok. Well how are you holding up?"
"I'M DOING GOOD. THE SAME CAN'T BE SAID FOR THE VOICE"
"Voice?"
"The one who speaks inside
He came out back at the camp
For one last moment of sanity"
"I'M PERFECTLY SANE!"
":|"
"Umm…not really Krieg"
"PSHH! WHAT DO YOU TWO KNOW! I'M KRIEG THE PSYCHO! THE SANE OF SANES!"
"Do you understand what you just said?"
"YES"
"Really?"
"Best not to question Krieg right now"
Gaige looked at Zero with a confused look not understanding the touchy subject.
"I just don't get it. You were so calm and quiet back there."
"REASONS BEYOND EXPLAINING"
"Let it go"
"Fine"
"PROBLEM"
"What?"
"?"
"YOU KNOW HOW CARS KINDA RUN ON FUEL!"
"Yeah"
"Yes"
"WELL THIS ONE HAS NONE OF IT!"
At that very moment the car came to a stop in the middle of the snow.
"Well this is great. Why didn't you say something earlier Krieg?"
"WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION TO IT"
"Well what do we do now?"
"Calm yourselves"
"Why Zero? What kind of idea do you got?"
With almost joy in his voice.
"Walk"
"But we're so far away still"
"Suck it up"
The tone in his voice was dark and made Gaige cower away. She was upset by Zeros tone.
"WELL LET'S GET STARTED! MY LEGS COULD USE THE MILAGE!"
"Umm…..not how I would have put it, but sure"
"Ok"
They all started walking leaving the car behind. Out of all of them Krieg was the only one who seemed happy about it. It was probably because he didn't want anything to do with something that belonged or had belonged to Troy. After awhile Krieg started running ahead.
"I'M GOING TO HAVE A RACE WITH MY MEAT BICYCLE!"
"How will you win?"
"BY BEING FASTER THAN THE MEAT!"
With an obvious sound to it.
"…ok than"
":|"
After a short period of time Krieg was a good distance ahead of Zero and Gaige.
"Is he going to be ok?"
"Krieg, yes. Voice, no"
"Who is this voice?"
"The old Krieg"
"What do you mean by that?
"Not my place"
Gaige jumped onto Zero's arm and stared into the depths of his mask.
"OH PLEASSSSEEEE! Come on you can tell me. I'm a part of this group now"
Zero pushed Gaige off with one arm throwing her to the ground.
"You are not with us
You are a burden
That we let follow"
Gaige sat on the ground. A tear started to form on her right eye.
"You don't mean that"
Zero starred down at Gaige realizing what he had done and said. He raised a hand to Gaige.
"You have yet to make yourself useful and the questions you ask cause more harm than good. Be careful or what I say may become true."
Gaige wiped the tear away and took Zeros hand. Zero pulled her up and they started walking again.
"Umm….Zero"
"Yes?"
"We lost Krieg"
"We will catch up with him soon enough"
"You sure?"
"Yes"
"Why?"
Zero looked down at Gaige and with a calm voice
"Because I panicked the first time he ran ahead on me and went out of sight. He will stop where we will make camp for the night. He's not as dumb as he seems…Usually"
"You're talking a lot more now. Why were you quiet before?"
"I'm quiet when I'm nervous."
Gaige's eyes widened at this.
"And why were you nervous"
"Because you were only in your undergarments and I thought you looked cute."
Gaige instantly had a smile on her face and started blushing.
"Aww thanks"
"But after getting to know you a bit your neither cute or in your undergarments"
Gaige's smile went away and her head flopped forward looking down at the ground with a gloom look.
"Something wrong?"
"No"
The two continued to walk for the good part of the day until they came to point that smoke was coming up in the horizon"
"Look Zero there's smoke"
"Krieg"
"Wait you saying that smoke is coming from Krieg?"
"Yes"
"How do you know that?"
"It's happened to me before"
After another half hour of walking they came upon the campsite that Krieg had set up. He had set up two make shift tents and had made a fire.
"Hey Krieg I hope you made something cause I'm starving"
"MEAT IS ONLY FOR THOSE IN THIS GROUP"
"It's a good thing she's in this group then"
Gaige looked at Zero quickly and smiled and if she had been able to see through that mask she would have seen him smiling back at her.
"IT'S FINALLY SETTLED THEN! THIS IS NO LONGER A DUO, BUT A THREESOME!"
"Umm…..Krieg you know what that means right?"
"OF COURSE! IT MEANS THREE MEMBERS IN A GROUP!"
"…sure"
Zero gave a short little laugh
"He is smarter than he looks most of the time"
"Wait where will I sleep with only two tents?"
"You get first watch tonight and we rotate"
"GOODNIGHT"
"Night"
"Umm….night I guess"
