"Throwing the Game" (Ew Next Gen)

A muffled thud was heard in the holding cells followed by a low groan of irritation.

"How long is that jackass going to make us sit here…?" Edd growled, having slammed his fist against the brick wall, as his two friends just sat there, "I'm gonna go nutz just being stuck in here…" he hated himself even more now. He nearly abandoned Roxxi and Tally. They needed him. What was wrong with him….?

Tom rolled his LED eyes, finding it almost hard to believe that this now grouchy and suicidal man was actually his once happy and pun loving friend. "Maybe we wouldnt be here if you hadn'T TRIED TO COMMIT SECOND HAND SUICIDE!" Matt shouted both anxious and irritated. "I swear to god Edd… if Ricky and Maxxine become fatherless, I'm going to become a zombie again, and KICK YOUR FAT ASS!" with that the two got into an argument slash shouting match.

The shortest of the three kept silent, though he understood his friend's anger and panic, he himself was practically drowning in thoughts of Susan, Nicky and Theo. He hadn't been much of a crier since he was a child, but the thought of never seeing them again, made his throat tighten. They were waiting for him...

All three of them had kids and wives to go home to. Even though Edd had acted, very, very stupid and irrational, Tom could tell that he was now worrying about Roxxi and Tally.

Getting into the Red Base was easier for them than any other unfortunate idiots that had tried in the past. It wasn't until they had gotten to the lab that they somehow screwed up setting off the alarms.

Things hadn't gone as planned at all.

They had managed to do a time jump like they wanted, but things took a wrong turn with Edd's second hand suicide attempt. With all that had happened, they barely had enough battery power left in the second device to get back to they're time.

Course with their luck, things went from bad to worse, and he ended up getting caught and arrested for treason against the Red Leader and his army.

After being dragged to holding cells, they had been left waiting there awhile, leaving them to argue and let their minds wonder to what they're fate might be. When the war started, it started with a bang when Tord brought out the highest government officials in Britton and had a death squad gun them down on live tv, basically telling the world, 'Your Next.'

There were a few rebel armies besides the one they lead, but Edd, Tom and Matt were the closest any had ever gotten to Red Leader himself, they knew him better and that made them dangerous, so there was no light at the end of this tunnel. At Least not one they could see.

They were screwed, royally.

It was about another hour before anyone came down to the holding cells to get them. And the moment the soldiers set foot into the cells to cuff them, the three instantly went back to causing a ruckus for them, getting in a few hits before they were each pinned and cuffed again.

"You three really are a lot of trouble to deal with," a top tier Soldier said sighing, memory serves, that it was Yanov, and the three rebel leaders just glared at him. "But that aside, Red Leader want to talk to you, so I suggest you calm down before we have to shoot one of you." and with that the three of them we escored down a long hallway to a large room that was mostly empty besides a wide table and a few chairs. It was alot bigger than a police interigation room, but still left the men anxious.

There seated at the table was the War criminal known as Red Leader, but to those three, he was they're former friend. Oddly enough, he didn't have that irritatingly smug grin plastered on his half scarred face, and that unsettled the three more than anything. "Hello, old friends…" the deathly serious tone in his voice caused them to go stiff. And they did their best to keep straight, hardened expressions.
