The Last Human

9.

Allen POV

We reach the base in just a few hours thanks to a gps. Entering the gates that not that long ago I escaped. We March passed a lot of soldiers giving us odd looks.

We head straight for what appears to be a comm center. Upon entering I see that's exactly what it is. "Contact general Abernathy for video conference." captain orders. A few minutes later the big screen shows the general.

"Captain Danden this better be good." he states annoyed.

"Yes sir I have the human here with me." she says saluting. The camera zooms out bringing me into view.

"Well I'm glad you fixed your mistake. Human I am general Abernathy, and I'm glad to see you breathing." he says with a smile.

"It's good to see you Fritz." mr. Greenwater greets.

"Well well Steven bogwater I mean Greenwater. Haven't seen you since you left to raise your daughter. How have you been?" the general asks.

"Was doing just fine till this one showed up at my door. Had to patch up his leg, and then we got unwanted visitors." Steven tells him.

"Oh come now captain Danden isn't that rude is she?" general asked jokingly.

"Not them a solo team of reptiles, and they were gunning for Allen here." Steven says putting a hand my shoulder.

"Is that so? Well that is not good. Now down to business then. Captain brief me on the situation." the general orders.

"Yes sir as of right now we couldn't identify the team. Mr. Greenwater, his daughter,and the human have agreed to join forces with us." she states quickly.

"Then it is your job to get them healed, and trained up. As much as I don't want the human to risk his life. I have a feeling that if we try stop him he'll just escape, and go alone. As such you'll need a mechanic Incase of any problems with machines." he says.

"What machines sir?" she questions.

"You'll need a vehicle to get places quickly. Will you not? Steven as of right now you can either reenlist, or take a small demotion to sergeant." he offers.

"I've been out of this game a while. I'll take small demotion just I don't take any shit from privates." Steven laughs.

With that we say goodbye to the general, and exit the building. We head to get patched up, and get food. The doctor basically said I'm only alive by dumb luck. Either that or someone wants me alive.

I was told no physical training for at least a week.

Anna POV

The next day I was assigned to give weapon training. I issued Betty an smg MP5 model to precise. For Allen I issued him M4A1, and Steven chose an lmg M249. On the range Steven got it pretty quickly. As did Allen, but Betty needed to work on anticipating the shot.

A couple days later she was hitting the target. Just four days after that she's got an inch spread at most.

Today Allen is given the greenlight for training. It started easy with regular PT such as runs, push ups, and sit ups.

A week later hand to hand started with Rita leading it. Claiming she wanted to demonstrate the moves she called up Allen. They stood across from each other in a boxing ring.

As the bell rings she rushed him landing the first hit. She combos it with vicious body blows. Gaining his footing he dodges a haymaker, and counters with a grapple. Using this he grabs her head, and goes with a knee to her face.

He quickly uses his advantage to sweep her legs. When she hit the matt the crowd that gathered cheered. This is when she took it to far, and countered.

She got to her feet quickly, and charged at him. She threw an elbow hitting the side of his head. In a daze she used his move, and kneed his face.

"That's enough Rita it's over." the captain ordered. However Rita ignored her, and picked him up. He was still in a daze, you could see it in how he looked drunk.

She grabbed him by his hair moving him towards a corner. People were moving into the ring to stop her. Rita wasted not time, and slammed his head into a pole.

"I wont let you humiliate me. Your kind are weak, and need to be reminded of this." she stated in his ear. She was interrupted though, but not by us. Allen slammed his forehead into her nose.

A sick crunch filled the room, but he wasn't done. He attacked like a rabid dog attacking her with a flurry of punches. She then lost her footing, and fell down on her back. Before he could continue his assault Steven grabbed him.

"Allen! Stop it's me. You got her." he kept telling Allen over, and over. We took both of them to the doctor, and Rita was ripped a new one. Dom tried to defend his wife, but stopped when he couldn't come with any counters.

Hours passed, and eventually they were both released. With the stipulation that Allen is carefully watched. Rita looked funny with a wrapped up snout.

Allen POV

That night I couldn't sleep my head was still ringing. I went to the latrine to splash my face with water. Looking into the mirror I jumped back quickly. There staring back at me was my brother's dead eyes. I quickly rub my eyes trying to clear them.

When I opened them again it was just me standing there. Then like a whisper in the back of my mind. Rita's words echoes like water dripping slowly into a pond.

I exit the latrine hoping, and praying I'm not losing myself to the abyss. I don't want to go down that rabbit hole, and lose myself like Alice.

Hopefully sleep helps rid me of this feeling.
