There was war breaking out, left and right, two teams of 9 were fighting in an all out, bloody, and horrendous total war.

And there sat TeardropYT, in a chair, watching all of this happen from a computer screen. He looked very serious about this, like he had just bet on one of the teams winning.

Someone was standing next to him, though.

Well, not really next to him but standing near him. They looked nervous, usually swaying from side to side, playing around with their hands once in a while.

"Teardrop?" They spoke.

He was too into the show displayed on the screen to even pay attention to them.

Then there is an abrupt exclamation point on the screen, stopping the footage.

"What? What the hell is this!? Where's the battle"

"Boss, that's important! Something's going on...!" The person would speak, worried.

Teardrop would press a couple of buttons on the computer's keyboard, changing the screen to something else.

"Oh my..." He would just stare at it in shock.

"Get the mercs on this IMMEDIATELY!" TeardropYT would yell frustrated.

"But..." The person stopped themselves from saying anything further.

They sigh, and turn around, heading for the main office, where NoteBook runs past them.

"Woah!" The person screamed, they had a feminine voice.

NoteBook didn't even care to notice them, and kept on running, something had upset her.

"Okay..." The unidentified individual would turn right, the opposite direction of where NoteBook ran off to, made another left, and then turned right to see a door with a sign above it that says "Main Office".

All this mercenary hiring and all that felt like a fever dream to her. She would open the door and walk inside the room, and close it soon after.

Tetris and Penster were still stuck in the same uno game.

"How does something like this go for this long!?" Corrupted Drop yells, clearly bored and annoyed.

"Relax, dude, it hasn't even been that long!" Tetris says, being optimistic about it.

Corrupted Drop groans before the speaker above them screeches, but not to loud, and a voice comes right after it.

"Attention, ALL Mercenaries make your way to room 107, I repeat, all Mercenaries head to room 107." The voice spoke, before the loud speaker screeches again and there was silence for a moment.

"Well, uh, guess we'll continue this tomorrow?" Penster smiles at Tetris.

"Yeah! I'm still gonna dog the crap outta you!" Tetris brags, before flying out of his seat and out of the room. Penster follows chuckling. The quiet CD gets out of his seat as well and tags along.

As soon as they entered the room they were greeted with a couple of their Mercenary friends, like Oodle, who was happily snacking on a bean burrito from Taco Bell.

But there was someone they didn't know from across the long table, she was a frame with a handle, and had a picture inside of her protected by glass. She had a ribbon on her handle and glasses on her eyes.

"Whas good, people?" Tetris sits down in a chair with his name on it.

He looked to his right, of course, it had to be Oodle, now he was loudly crunching on Frosted Flakes.

Tetris scoffs and looks to his left, the lady was just staring at him.

"D'uh.... Yo?" Tetris says, confused.

She sighs in disappointment and counts everybody. There was one missing.

NoteBook.

"I guess we'll just start without her, then." She said, it was the same voice from the loud speaker.

"Alright mercenaries... We've got a dire situation at hand. Two teams of enemy mercs have banded together to kill us. We have nothing to do but fight back. I have devised a plan, that will... hopefully, get us out of this conflict. Okay?"

No response from any of them.

"I'll take that as a yes..." She awkwardly spoke.

"Now, there will be different groups for different objectives until we all meet at one spot to take one last control point." She explains

"Corrupted Drop, NoteBook, and Watery, you three will capture their  control point so they will be forced to stay at their main base where we will take them all out."

"Tetris, Penster, Sigma, you three take the enemy's intelligence briefcase about us, then they cannot take any legal action because they will have no evidence."

"And finally, Oodle, Metal Tennis Ball, and Metal Straw, you three will push a payload bomb into their allies' base so they cannot help their ally out." 

She took a large exhale, as she said all that in one breath. 

"We're on it, miss... uh... Who even are you? Like, you're tellin' us all of this, but we don't even know who you are..." Watery said, confused.

"I am Picture Frame! Teardrop's assistant." She happily replied to Watery.

"Huh..." Watery leaned back in his chair

"Sergeant Picture Frame, I assure you, we will NOT fail you on this mission!" Oodle said, saluting to PF, before hopping out of his chair, and running, not outside, but to the kitchen, to get more frosted flakes. 

Tetris and Penster look at each other in the eyes or a moment, Tetris then looks away after.

"I can deal with NoteBook. I'm, like.. The only one that actually understands her." Corrupted Drop gets up and walks off, looking for NoteBook.

"Well, mercs, get to it." Picture Frame begins to put papers into a folder.

The mercs then leave the room.
