RED-1

Chapter 2

The reason
     At this point of our lives the sound of gunfire is normal considering that we have been fighting the rebellion since we were teenagers, but it still fills me with gilt when ever I kill someone knowing I just keep them from living a happy life. But it doesn't matter anyway because they betrayed this great republic and killed innocent people who where living happy lives. Which is the reason why my team is here, to extinguish this terrorist group and let people live normal lives, but it pretty hard considering that they always give us missions where we have to take out entire platoons of them.

"Home plate this is red one, do you copy?"

home plate was the code name for the terrain republic titan class carrier,

"This is home plate, we read you red one, go ahead." replied the male communication officer

"We need immediate air support one mile north of our position, now!" I yelled back at him because of the three Blitz class medium tanks that had us pined down in our trench.

"Solid copy red one, friendly X-1 bombers are on there way."

"Thank god!,it's about time." said Jackson

"You know, for a sniper you talk a lot more than you should." Isaac replied back which shut him up pretty quickly.

"Knock it off, we are all on the same team here." Even though that we are each others closest thing family we some how find time to be a pain in the back to each other.

"I can see the bombers." said Nate trying to brake up the fight

"Got it, every one get ready for evac" knowing that if we called in air support the captain would call in a scythe. Once the transport craft got there they all got in and headed back to base where the captain was waiting to yell at them for "failing" the mission.

     Even though the Titan was one and a half mile long ship it was hard to see from far way  because the dark colors on the out side of the titanium plated hull. Once we got near the ship we could see the large runway door opening on the front of the gigantic ship reveling a massive hangar bay full of hundreds of state of the art air craft, it was a great for the new guys but it gets pretty old quickly.

I was the last person off of the transport plane and I already heard the captain yelling at my team,

"WHERE THE HELL IS TALON!!??"said Captain McDonnell probably the meanest and most ruthless captain this navy ever had."WHEN I FIND HIM I'M GOING TO BREAK SOMETHING!"

"I'm right here sir,you don't need to yell." I replied sarcastically

"What did you just say to me 'team leader'?"saying it back like it was a threat to take away my rank as team leader.

"Nothing."

"Nothing what?"

"Nothing....sir." I repeted back trying to stress out the whole 'sir' part.

"That's what I thought,NOW WHY  DID YOU RETREAT!" he yelled trying to make a example out of me by showing that I shouldn't have pulled back and called in air support.

"I had to or you would lose a entire HUNTER team,SIR."

"I don't give a damn, you will from here on out will fallow my orders till the last letter.....DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" he yelled at the point of were it reminded me of my Drill Sargent from boot camp who was like ten times nicer compered to the Captain.

"YES SIR!" I yelled back

GOOD!, until further notice you and your team will spend your time in your quarters, is that understood 'team leader'?"saying that same exact threat made me feel like punching him in the face for ever single soldier he had disrespected in his career.

"YES SIR,CAPTAIN SIR" making that reference to boot camp again almost made some people laugh because I was saying he was so bad at his job they could have made him a Drill Sargent.

"Dismissed" he replied with a almost hissing sound of a snake and walked off sternly.

"Well he's pissed." remarked  Jackson

"Thanks smart ass"I replied pissed off my self.
