Chapter Six: Man's Greatest Enemy Is Man Himself...#
This chapter introduces the new enemy of the plot, along with an all too familiar face...
Shaun opened his eyes as he sat up groggily. He managed to get a glance of his surroundings and his team, who were all there, except for the Captain. He went to stretch his arms, but they were in handcuffs. A foot pressed him to the ground before he could think.. He l,ooked up and saw an angry face staring down at him, The man was in a standard army uniform, with an all too familiar, green unicorn insignia on the breast pocket, these guys were Military Police.
"What are you looking at, grunt?!" The man spat as he noticed Shaun looking up at him, The soldier kneed Shaun in the face, one of his back teeth flew across the room as his jaw burned in pain. "that's enough, Lieutenant." Someone said in a calm, serious tone. Captain Andrews walked over into Shaun's view. "Sir, what are you doing, these people fuckin attacked us, and you siding with them?" Shaun coughed out. "I am not siding with anyone, Sergeant. I am mearly working with a subordonate of mine."
"what do you mean? I read your file: Captain Jonathan C. Andrews, Age 38, Survey Corps advanced commander, Major team player." The Captain responded; "Meh. It was just a false identity, My real name is Major Brian Shadis, SPecial Projects Director for the Military Police Brigade, My Brother Keith Shadis gave me tips on how to act like a Survey Corps Officer. And I'm only 37 by the way."
"Major, I think we should just kill them now, shoot 'em in the chest and leave 'em down here till they bleed out, especially this one." He pointed down to Shaun. "The little buggar tried to strangle me till you came along." The officer rubbed his neck. " Negative Captain Peterson, we'll let the doc do his thing first. That will be all."
Captain Peterson kicked Shaun in the stomach and he curled up into a ball, reflexavly "oh well, " he looked down at the injured Sergeant. "guess the freak gets to fuck around with you first." He and the Traitor Major Shadis left without another word, slamming shut the door of a prison cell. Shaun sat up, turning to his team.
"what the hell do we do now, huh? game over man! Game over!" Jenkins whined as he sat in the corner, head in hands as he cried. Sophia turned to Mikhael, "what do you think we should do? We need to escape somehow" The quiet soldier shrugged, "I think we should see what they plan to do to us, then plan our escape. Besides, I believe Sergeant Hendricks in in charge of this operation, With the Captain gone, I think he is next in command. Is that right?" he turned to Shaun.
"Yeah...yeah..." Shaun trailed off as F/N Stood up. "everyone quiet, I hear something." The squad fell silent as they listened to muffled shouting in the other room. "Jaeger! Get in here!" followed by an echo of panicked footsteps. "time to introduce you to your new pets." what sounded like Peterson barked. "they're not pets, they're people!" someone else whimpered "whatever, just get in there and pick your favourite. " Peterson spat.
The door opened and a man entered. Mid thirtees, maybe fouries, long hair, glasses and a doctor's outfit. "Who in the hell are you?" F/N questioned the man. "M-m-my Name is Grisha Jaeger, I'm here to experiment with your abilities. Peterson entered the room, angry and glancing at the clock. "c'mon, man. pick your favourite, we ain't got all day..." with shaky hands, Dr Jaeger pointed to F/N, who was suddenly grabbed and dragged out of the room by Peterson as The doctor frantically apologised to them.
An hour went by before F/N came back in, rubbing their arm before Peterson cuffed H/HR and kicked them back into the cell, locking the door. "what happened? whaqt did they do?" everyone frantically asked. "it's a long story..." Shaun grabbed him. "we got time" The soldier grinned. "fine, where shall I begin?"
