Flesh Wounds

Chapter Nineteen "Who even started it?!"

Nick Pov

"THE WEAPON CONTROLS, ARE FINE RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE!!"

"THEY SHOULD BE ON THE LEFT! ITS QUICKER!"

"I am right, handed!" The female pilot yells at 34.

"I know but its proven that its quicker on left, side!!" 34 yells back.

"Ugh, men. Hehe, of course you'd know its quicker on the left," she comments back annoyed.

"Wow, good job," 34 slyly says.

"Yeah, well you're stupid," She states her opinion, and probably other's too.

"Well at least I know how to fly!" 34 yells at her, he knows how to fly?

"I took flight class you dimwit!"

"I did too! I had vehicle training too!"

"Who even started it?!" I finally yell out for everyone.

"They did!" They both said at the same time pointing at each other blamingly.

Yang sighs coming up behind them, "Could you two knock it off?." She asks them then looks at me and back to them.

"Fine," Dillan, the pilot, murmurs and goes to the controls sitting down in the pilot's seat.

"Whatever," 34 grumbles and sits up in the co-pilot spot, which is where most of the weapons controls are at, and continues to complain to himself about the controls being mainly on the right side.

We start to take off so I seat myself down in one of the back spots. With 5000 and Sparky on the other side.

"So," 5000 starts, "Politics am I right?"

"What- Why?!" Sparky asks him confused.

Yang comes back and sits next to me commenting, "There better be no more fighting back here either.."

"We're not fighting back here," Sparky says quickly explaining himself.

"Good.." She says taking her helmet off letting her hair flow out.

5000 pulls out his phone and begins watching some ironic person who I can hear yelling and laughing about some sort of game.

"SO. How's everyone doin?" Sparky asks with his natural perky tone.

"Fine.." 

"Great."

"Tired." 

"You're always tired 5000!" Sparky groans because he probably hears that every time he asks.

"So, uh. Big explosion huh?" I ask trying to bring up some sort of conversation.

Everyone ignores me but Yang looks at me, then sighs disappointed, "Did you really ask that?.. We saw the explosion, it was pretty blinding."

"And hard to miss, don't forget that," 5000 says stating facts that, I guess is true?

"None of you looked at it right?  Because if you don't you're cool," 5000 continues.

Okay well he's super, American.

"There was literally no way to not look at it. There was explosions in every direction!" Sparky yells out.

"There was no explosions in the sky now were they?" 5000 asks emphasizing that he stared at the sky when the bombs went off.

"I'm surrounded by idiots.." Yang sighs and slumps down in her seat.

I decide to take my helmet off and look at it. It's pretty standard but, what the- The VISR is purple now instead of silver. Odd, must've been the module that 34 gave me, and then he gave me a bullet wound- great.

The faint sound of arguing can be heard even through the blast door of the ship.

"What now?.."

34 Pov

"ARE YOU, EVEN, LISTENING?!" 

"Nope," I say reclining back with music in my ears, not loud enough for anyone on the outside to hear, but just enough so it's loud for me.

"Myyy god!" She yells again and slams her fist down turning away from me.

I look over my shoulder and I see her weapon of choice in one of those, I don't know things that hold up your weapon and you take it out of there- I don't know!

But I think its weird, she prefers Covenant technology compared to ours. A Needler, fashioned with the standard UNSC green and those pink needles of pain.

"So why a Needler huh?" I ask her as she's flying.

"Yeah, a lot better than your crappy SAW thing," She mutters.

"A lot better than this?" Ask her unsheathing my sword. 

That sounded, really bad.

"I'm kinda busy flying right now," She says over her shoulder.

"Ugh fine," I grumble standing up and going over to the front with my sword drawn.

"How about now?" I ask holding my sword over her shoulder.

THIS DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.

"Huh?! What the hell get that away from me idiot!" She yells shoving my arm away and making drop, the freaking sword! 

"Woah watch it!" I yelled jumping back as the sword hit the ground and shut off.

"Don't fucking try to stab me then asshole!" She yells back as we start entering the atmosphere to the desert planet that our base is at.

"I wasn't geez!" I let myself slip that then I pick my sword back up.

"Can't wait to get out of here.." I murmur.

"I can say the same. For once," She says a 'little' pissed.

34 takes off his helmet and turns around to Dillan still in the ship as we are leaving.

As he's backing up he yells, "I love yah! Can't live without yah!" And with that he turns back around.

I give him a confused look, "She hates it when I do that," He explains laughing to himself.

I can't wait to fall asleep...

Psst, psst! 

34 started it.
