Flesh Wounds

Chapter Three "One, Two, Five-thousand?"

Nick Pov

I now stand in front of the indoor Shooting Range with my BR. Something is off about the scope though.. I aim and it looks normal, until I aim it at a "Enemy." Some weird red square appears on their head when I do so.

"Shoot.." I whisper and then fire. Four consecutive shots fire and.. all, of them.

Some how nailed the head perfectly. Leaving four bullet holes in the wooden cutout.

"Woah ni-"

I get cut off by the sound of the door behind me sliding open. I turn to face this noise, what I see is. Brown messed up hair, death grey eyes. Oh hey I recognize that! Its my Captain.. Looking pissed...

34 Pov

"Did I allow you to sleep past seven hundred?" I say not hiding the anger in my tone.

"Heey Sir.." Doc exclaims "Where were you guys?" Uggh Rookies..

"We were on a Elimination Objective that you seemed to have missed. And why are you training on these crap targets?" I ask still obviously not amused.

Doc Answers "Because there's nothing else."

I un-holster my magnum and fire the full mag at the target Doc shot. All hit leaving multiple bullet holes in the Cutout. "There's always an actual enemy."

I reload and walk out, hoping I made my point. I walk past 5000 heading his way into the range. He has shotguns why would he need target practice?.. As if reading my mind he says, "Slugs."

Man that was something I should be scared of. Him. Of course. He's reading minds, next he's going to be floating, or something ironic like that.

"Yeah ookay." I say quietly.

Just then some really bulky armor guy walks in carrying shotguns. Why would he need to prac- "Slugs," he says reading my mind.

"Oh okay then." I turn back to the targets trying to ignore the tension left by 34 in this room. "So umm.." I say and he turns to me cocking his "Duel shotguns?"

"Yes, double the murder." He says in a surprisingly deep voice.

Now I'm dumbfounded. Did, "Did I say that out loud?"

"Maybe" He says and turns back to the targets.

"So I don't remember seeing you the first day?" I say hinting at 'What's your name'.

"I remember seeing you." He says and now I am already super creeped out.

"OKAY" I say gritting my teeth "But what's your name??" He pauses for a second.

Two.. Three... "5,000." "Huh?" I ask. "What?" He says sounding even more confused. I think for a second. "Did you say something?" I ask sounding even MORE confused then him.

Now his small visor slit looks more evil as he says "Nope, not at all."

"Uh-huh.." I turn back to the targets think of the number 5000 assuming that was all in my head. Maybe that's the drugs in the syringe I took earlier?

I didn't try anymore after taking the Blue button version. I felt way too druggy as time went on. Yet, I went to the shooting range...

That was probably a bad idea but I haven't shot anyone, yet.. hmmmm.. Idea! I pull out the Injector and switch it to red making that weird cocking sound again.

That would get annoying. I started walking up to, 5000? causally with the Injector in my hand. He looks at me then back to the Elite Wood cutouts. I keep walking toward him then I stop at about two feet from him, he just stares at me as I stand there.

"I am going to drug you now." I say trying to sound as normal as I can saying that.

"Go ahead." He says.

"There might be some side effects though" I say "Including nausea, dizziness, blood pressure and death."

He doesn't say anything but still stares at me and glances back at the targets. "Yeeeeaah" I murmur. Drug time! "Red.."

I push the injector up to his arm and pull the trigger. Making the metal sound. I step away from him and open the Injector letting the syringe drop. "How do you fee-"

I get cut off by him jumping into the area with the targets. "I- umm." He goes and starts sprinting at the nearest target which is probably estimated to be about 40-50 feet away from him. Thanks Helmet HUD. Hmm, another another idea. Geez I'm full of them today. I move over to the terminal that you would use to set targets up. There's lots of options but I see a randomize option in the mist of all the other ones.

Yep. Best idea. I press it and a bunch of obstacles and enemy cutouts appear in the field and I jump in after still who I assume is 5000. He then rushes still straight at the same one and takes his right fist still running and launches it straight into the cutouts "head" literally.

Obliterating it. Like. The wood. Doesn't exist anymore. Must be the effect of the "Red" syringe. Then he unholsters his shotties "Shotguns" off his back and starts firing like crazy at the nearest targets. I aim my BR at a nearby target and the Square appears and all bullets hit the head. Hmm, must be some experimental sight. Maybe that's what 34 was doing with that pistol.

  Anyway! I look back at 5000 who is holding a Energy sword with a really cool green blade on it. And he's just slashing at the targets. I vault over an obstacle and fire wildly at some targets not getting all head shots, considering I wasn't aiming. I pull out my knife and throws it at a target, It hits the target, the. Handle of it does. I sprint towards said target and slides picking up my knife and launch it straight into the head of the target. 5000's blasting the heads off some targets as well. We both get back to back to each other and epicly take down targets as they keep rising from the floor...

NUKE. So they are just going to do this fo a while, just imagine 5000 as Jorge from reach (Talking about his armor; Bulk) but its Black primary's and Green flames as Secondary's. 

ALRIGHT bye now!
