some ways away from the prestigious school, tucked away in the Bahamas is the equally (or so Blutarch Mann would have you believe) prestigious Accademy known as Blutarch's Mercenary Accademy, the Headmaster is the famed Marsupial Man.

today was the start of preparation for "end of the line" where the two schools would duke it out in a head to head capture fest all across the U.S. and canada.

Matt got up out of bed, humming to himself as he walked through the boy's dormitory, suddenly bursting into song, Jarring everyone around him from sleep

"What will we do with a drunken sailor?

What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
Early in the morning"

Dave chuckles as he hops out of bed, singing along with Matt

"Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning"

Klass puts his pillow over his head, when Matt pulls him out of bed, Klass draws his black rose butterfly knife,

"Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Early in the morning"

soon everyone in the dorm is singing along as they get ready

"Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning"

Joey raises his hand as he takes his sniper rifle from next to his bed,

"Put him in the longboat until he's sober
Put him in the longboat until he's sober
Put him in the longboat until he's sober
Early in the morning"

"Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning"

Eric picks up his black box and salutes his teammates

"Stick him in the scrubbers with a hosepipe on him
Stick him in the scrubbers with a hosepipe on him
Stick him in the scrubbers with a hosepipe on him
Early in the morning"

"Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning"

Marwan laughs as he loads his soda popper,

"Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter
Put him in the bed with captain's daughter
Put him in the bed with captain's daughter
Early in the morning"

"Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning"

now the entire boys dorm is walking down the halls singing as they go

"That's what we do with a drunken sailor
That's what we do with a drunken sailor
That's what we do with a drunken sailor
Early in the morning"

down the stairs

"Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning'

"Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning"

they reach the yard where the Headmaster is waiting and laugh, seeing the girls dorm on the other side of campus hasn't begun to fall in yet

"right, nice little song you sang there, time to start practice, Klaas, get over there, start going through the practice course."

he nods wordlessly and leaves, 99% of the spy population at the Blu accademy were girls, so Klaas was an overachiever and somewhat of a lady's man.

"Shi, get out here."

the Pyro walks out, "hmm?" having not finished his class yet, he hadn't yet taken his oath of silence, "sir?"

"you take the train stopper along with Matt and Dave"

Shi rolls his eyes as the girls sleepily file out, Marwan laughing across the courtyard, "look who's late to the party!"

an arrow sprouts from the ground at his feet and he laughs, Bunny was having none of it, she was a scout but she had managed to snatch Trollence the sniper's bow to deliver the punchline.

"eat me!"

"gladly!"

"Marwan! Bunny! you're out of line! Bunny! give Trollence back her bow!"

she begrudgingly handed an abashed Trollence her bow, "sorry."

"oh...it's..it's fine."

the training begins, end of the line is simple, there are three stages, the capture of the train, the stopping of the train and the end of the line.

the two schools would fight over the train, whomever captured it first would guard it for the duration of the second stage, where the school would try to destroy the train, should the opposing school stop the train from continuing, the third stage wouldn't be nessecary, should the second stage fail, the third stage involves a shipment of australium weapons, of which the winning school would get to parttake.

Marsupial Man fired his Bazaar Bargain into the air, "ALRIGHT YOU BLOODY PIKERS! LETS GET TO WORK!"
