So things are pretty bad at the base here. I went back to the base, and a new threat has risen. A single man had appeared and has started taking over the whole world. He plans for a perfect world, were everyone is the same. His name is Korse apparently. Although I did some research of my own. His real name is Kade Korse Artamis Bane. He had taken most of the world already. The force felt defeated. Many wanted to join this new world, others wanted to fight and become rebels. I was a rebel.
Those of us who chose to be rebels, have moved to a old military base deep in Texas. It was separated from the other bases. We didn't bother getting any ray guns, and decided to keep it old school with our guns, bombs, and major artillery that was also found at our new base.

The war had just started. I haven't heard anything from my family. By now, they're either on the side of better living, fighting, or dead. We had spray painted most things here. The main thing we focused on, was that there was no white. We had changed our uniforms and hung our old ones up. The guys here wore, all black with colourful bandanas tied around their arms and top of their head. I wore my old killjoy outfit from when I was younger. A blue and black leather jacket, black pants, red steampunk goggles, purple gloves, and a blue and purple bandana. My hair had also been dyed back to it's hard blue, half purple state. Once again the left side of my head was blue and the right side was purple, oh it help so good for my hair to be back. I literally screamed when I found hair dye, and after I finished dying it. The guys though I had shot myself twice until they saw me jumping in excitement. We even had a light thing, that when the colour white, and no other colour, pass through the white would give off a bright white light.

BLI had started growing. We had watched as killjoys were running through the light indicator. They drive passed the base and kept driving. Though when BLI came through, they showed like really bright. Then he'll broke loose.
"Alright. Let's move. F7 on the left. H9 on the right. A2 front and centre. C6 top shelf. E3 middle shelf." MK called as we all got in our places. My group was A2. "Vampire blood." He says stopping me. My name was vampire blood around here. "First front and centre. Your gonna be right in front. A4 and me personally are gonna be watching your back from top shelf. Everyone else will also from down with you. Don't get hit, don't get hurt, and don't get captured. We may have your back on this, but if I-"
"MK! I'll be fine. I know the drill." I say walking off. We all stepped out of our places and shot them down. I was at the very front and centre. I shot and hit all of my marks. The sound of gun fire was all you could really hear. Suddenly a colourful Ray shot hits a drac on my right. I hadn't even saw it coming. I looked over to where the shot came from.
"Make sure to keep your eyes open and know your surroundings at all times." A familiar killjoy with red hair says. He hands me a second gun and we stand back to back.
Once it's all over the guys all start to head in, then I follow. I turn to the red haired killjoy.
"Thanks uncle G." I say as I start opening the gate again.
"Party!? Are you ok?" A short guy says as he runs up with black hair. He just starts walking past him and towards the gate. I wave at him and close it before he can get to it.
"Vampire!" I hear MK call madly.
"Save it MK! I know." I say walking straight past him. He tries to grab my arm to stop me but I move out of his reach, but he still grabs me. "I SAID SAVE IT!" I yell loudly. Many people stand up as he still gripped my arm I glare at him. "Back off of me. Back off of my family. I'm not yours. Your not my father, or boyfriend! So stop acting like you own and can control me!" I growl loudly. "You don't own me!" I say as I rip my arm from him and walk to the top floor. The roof. I sit on the top edge. My legs hanging off the edge, almost like I was going to jump. I look out onto the dessert and see party poison still standing outside. I grab the ray gun he gave me and see the killjoy symbol on it. But I found an engraving. Mikey Way, aka Kobra Kid's first ray gun. Dad? Dad is the Kobra kid? I hold the small gun close to me. I went to the escape stairs, to the back gate, and walked out and towards the front. He was still standing there. "Hey! You know, I think my dad might want this back." I say lightly tossing him the small gun. He catches it with one hand easily.
"Keep it. They maybe you can give it to him youself. But truthfully, I think you should keep it, it probably means more to you, than any of us." He says tossing the small gun back to me. "So, this is were you've been? Not with the rest of the army?"
"Well, we still are the army, I changed fields a little. A fourth of us came here, the rest went there. They were cowards. Mindless cowards. But, I would like that.-to give it to him.- is he, still sane, or alive?" I ask cautiously.
"Oh yah! He's still alive, sane, perfectly fine for the most part. He's changed a bit though, personality wise. He's more ruthless. He thinks the army dragged you into going with BLI, and demands revenge for taking you. Want to come see him?" He says. I look around nervously.
"I-we we don't really leave base. For anything. I haven't left in a long time, and MK he doesn't like the idea of me stepping out of place. If he finds out, he was already pissed about the last fight a little while ago. If I step out, I may not be allowed back, I, I could loose my place, everything could change. And I'm not sure if I could let that happen yet,-" I stutter.
"Just go." Someone says behind me. I find Daytona, and MK. He looks mad, but also sad.
"W-what?" I say shocked. Are they kicking me out?
"Go. It's not like you'll never be allowed back. Or kicked out. You can come and go as you please, and you'll always be part of here. It's not like you would go against us, or see betraying us. Vampire, you can come and go as you please." They say. I smile widely and look back to Party happily. He reaches out his hand and walks me back to a trans am. I take one final look back at the base before we drive off.
"God, you've really showed me up Alex." He says as we speed down the road. I stifle a laugh.

Soon we pull up to a old dinner. I put my goggles on, and my bandana up as we walk up. Party walk in and I follow closely. I see Jet cleaning a gun, and Fun messing with a BLI transmitter. A military transmitter. I watch as he tries to get the main hard drive box open. I walk over, and open it with the code you have to put in, and hand it back to him. He looks at it, then at me like I have 13 fingers. I then walk back to party as he tries not to laugh, but fails.
"Party? Who's this?" I hear a very familiar voice say from behind us. I turn to dad. I put my goggles up, and pull my bandana down.
"I came to return this." I say holding the gun out and smiling at their shocked faces. "I uh didn't know weather you guy were still around or not, but when party ended up fitting back to back with me, I figured." I started getting nervous.
"Pst. Vampire blood." I hear in my ear piece. I press my finger to it so I could hear them batter and respond.
"Yes grandma?" I also whisper.
"Haha very funny."
"Oh you know it man. What do you want Grandma?"
"You mean other than for you to stop calling me grandma?"
"No. That's not allowed, I'm gonna keep calling you grandma as much as I want and you can't complain cause I will beat your ass in wrestling again if you squeal. Now what is it?"
"Well, let's just say, I heard you went off base. Also I found a round of BLI heading your way now."
"Shit! Alright, I got my capsules. I'll head out and if I can I'll drag their asses off course." I say running outside. I see a line of white over the horizon and grab my capsules. They were a military experiment that we fixed. I grabbed the capsule with the outline of a motorcycle, pulled the pin like a grenade, threw it, and let it turn into a motorcycle. It was a purple Harley Davidson, and my favourite. I got on. "Hey guys, I'll be back when I can. Either way, you can always come visit me, uncle party knows where I'll be if I'm not here." I say putting my goggles and bandana on and driving off. At least I got to see them again.
