Matt coughed on the dust, heavy in the air of the vent shafts. He looked around, realizing just how dark it was getting, and not to mention the scent of mold and mildew. Matt decided that he and Tom must be near the facilities bathrooms.
"Matt, we're coming up to a split in the vents." Tom spoke quietly as faint voices could be heard from below.
"You can s-see in here?"
"Yes...?"
Matt thought a moment, wondering if Tom's enhanced vision came from having no eyes. Matt from then on had Tom leading, with Matt using his memories to guide Tom about the stuffy shafts. The sheet metal creaked and groaned, threatening to reveal their position with every inch they crawled. Frustrated yells of anger came from what seemed to be the control room, the boys spying though the grate in the vent.
'Violence/Mild gore Warning. '
"What do you mean they escaped?!"
"S-Sir I dont know! One moment they were there, the next, gone!" The frightened soldier spoke, cowering in front of his leader. Another soldier walked in, the Blue leader turned and shot them, blood and brain tissue spattering against the wall. The other soldier began to sob at the loss of his comrade. Seemed the other guys name was Bluu.
"Find them, or your precious boyfriend is next."
'Warning Over'
"S-Sir yes s-sir!"
As Blue Leader walked out, dragging the soldiers body with him, the vents creaked especially loud. Matt and Tom, too disgusted by what they'd just seen to notice, were frozen in place.
"Merde bleu ..." the soldier cursed "Je te vengerai Bluu..." Seemed the Blue army was France based. The vents creaked once more, sending Matt and Tom down onto the floor. The soldier turned, gasping loudly. Tom quickly covered.
"Hush, you scream and we run. You dont want that blue guy after you, do you?" That seemed to be enough for the emotional wreck.
"F-Fine. But only for Bluu. And to keep Patryke safe...I'm Saul, one of Blue's guardians."
(Pronunciation of Patryke: Patch-Rike)
Edd Pov
Tord didnt move from Matt's side for over three hours after he passed. I was in no stable condition, but Tord...he was bad off. He already had Paul and Patryck en route to Blue leader's base on a special ops. mission. Retrieve Blue. Alive. What worried me was that I hadnt heard from Tom In...too long. I wouldn't dare bother Tord with my worries...but I did mention it to Paul. I had a strong feeling Tom was in that base somewhere. I dont know why, but I did. And for some reason, something felt off about Matt's death. Not faked, but something was telling me Matt was alive. Perhaps just a false sense of hope, maybe it just came with the grief. I had no clue, and honestly I couldn't keep focused on that. I gently stroked Ringo's silky grey fur, trying to focus on anything else but death. Not much seemed to be working. Maybe it was because Matt was different than the rest of us. Naive and sweet, caring and fun, a bubbly personality and a total extrovert. Matt was special, something absolutely irreplaceable.
And now that was gone.
Saul POV
I didnt know why I was helping our prisoners. Maybe it was just to get back at Blue Leader. Bluu had always been a good friend to me from the start of this organization, and now he was dead. Maybe it also had to do with the fact that my only love was threatened to be taken from me. Patryke is the best boyfriend any guy could ask for really. As I carefully guided the two down the halls, I thought about the record's we'd stolen from Red Leader about them. They seemed nice enough, especially the ginger...Matt was it? He was Red's boyfriend. Surely he was desperate to see him again. Tom seemed to also be missing someone. He mumbled the name 'Edd' several times under his breath. If it was the same one we had on file, which I assumed it was based on the cola scent on him, he probably understood my pain as well. I was so distracted thinking that I found myself face to face with Patryke. After a quick apology, he asked about what the hell was going on. So, I explained. The hurt in his eyes was unbelievable. He pushed his bangs out of his face, speaking softly.
"I'll help. We do this together, and we can leave all this behind..." He smiled softly, tearing off his Blue allegiance badge. I quickly did the same.
Maybe this meant we could all have new lives.
Maybe this..Red Army had two openings.
That would be a perfect way to get back at Blue.
It was settled.
