Immortal Warheads [Discontinued]

Chapter 3

"See I'm still a better shot than you!" Joseph shouted holding his carbine in hand. Shepard shrugged and reloaded his SMG. "Dude, you do understand that I'm not even trying." Joseph reloaded his gun and put it down. "Then how about you actually try next time shit lips!" Aloe walked up between the two of them grabbing them and yanking them back. "If you two are done hate fucking each other, we still have one more person to pick up." They both shook their heads and broke free from her grip. They followed her onto the Pelican and took their seats. "So, who's the last fucker we need?" Joseph looked back from his seat. "I saved him for last only because I don't trust these Spartan 4's all too much." Aloe took out a file reading through it. "A, Spartan 4? Like, the newbies and shit?'' Joseph stood up a little in his seat. "Hey man, I couldn't care less on what type he is. As long as he knows what he's doing it should be fine." Shepard said leaning back into his seat. "He does have a point. Now common Joseph, he's our last stop before we actually start getting missions." Aloe said tucking the file back into the folder.
As the Pelican landed closer to Earth the vast jungles slowly began to come into sight. "Look at this place, a lot prettier than where I found you two." Aloe chuckled and Joseph huffed before tugging the wheel to the side jerking the Pelican making her stumble into the wall. "Fuck!" Aloe slammed the wall as Joseph started laughing. "Whoops, my hand slipped." As the Pelican landed Shepard jumped off and stretched. Aloe and Joseph following after. "Guessing this guy is a sniper right?" Shepard looked back at them. "Well yeah, which means it'll be hard to find him." Aloe stated putting her hand on her hip. "Bet." Shepard put his SMG on his back and ran off. Aloe and Joseph shrugged and walked right after him.
Almost a half hour later as Aloe and Joseph were still making their way through the jungle Shepard came out from the bushes and tapped their shoulders. "This way, I want you guys to see him in action." The two look down at him and nodded a bit hesitantly before ducking down and following him. As they crept up on the sniper they could finally see his bright black and cyan armor. From a distance it blended in rather well. "I like his helmet, its a Scout helmet." Shepard stated as the other two watched. Eventually the sniper began to fire, one by one until he had to reload. He stood up and sighed. "Not bad kid." Aloe stood up and dusted herself off walking up to him. "O-oh! Well of course, I am the absolute b-" Before he could finish his sentence he tripped on a root falling forward before Aloe caught him. "The best shot there is, but aren't very coordinated." She finished it for him helping him back to his feet. "So you must be Spartan-5262, correct?" He looked around and nodded slowly. "Name's Alex though. Thanks." Aloe crossed her arms and nodded. "I'm Aloe, the idiot in blue is Joseph, and the idiot in purple is Shepard. We are here to recruit you for a fire team." She spoke soft and watched the cyan Spartan. "Oh really? Yes! I mean, yes ma'am, I would be more than happy to join the team." Alex stood up straight. Aloe nodded and motioned him to follow. "Have to say, you're probably the most normal out of these two." Aloe shook her head and continued to walk.
