the Distance <Remake>

Chapter 6: Hell-Bound

As Greg was getting himself out of the car, he looked at me and waves goodbye, but as he started to waltz off the alarm of the base started rising to it's highest point, so loud it froze me in my place as my eardrums annoyed the hell out of me with the ringing afterwards. My thoughts became reluctant, my first word was "help." I quickly took out my false uniform and gear, I knew I'd get in trouble for this, but I rather keep the base safe and have them toss me in jail than let anybody have this become their standing grave.

Greg's POV

I followed Ruby, I felt suspicious that she had all this old gear that can only be assigned from being enlisted. She didn't notice me in the back as she slipped herself into the helmet with the recon cam on top. He suddenly spotted Izzy in a rush, quickly sliding in her gear as well as they both held their guns. I should pretend like I dont know about this, so I dont myself get in any trouble for being a witness to the illegal act they were committing. Even though their last names were on the gear, it didn't say what branch it was from. Perhaps they had some ulterior motives? Maybe they knew about this attack? Or maybe they just want to help us out.

I wasn't sure, but I followed them and listened in on their plan.

"Ok, you take the hostiles from the back, and I'll take them from the front." Ruby was saying this with determination and confidence in her voice, like she has been in the military before or something.

"Then, you will spring into action, in your form and I'll do the same,  but we cant let anyone see who we are, or we will become sitting ducks out there."

"On your command Ruby!" Yelled out Izzy.

"Charge!!" Yelled Ruby with no fear in her voice.

They both started to sprint, it was a little difficult to keep up myself since I was in my gear too. I was undeniably shocked that the girl was surprisingly fast, but suddenly as the enemy infantry started their attacks, the soldiers holding them off noticed Ruby and Izzy running past them, as the commander was yelling at them to get into position. But their distance was far too great for them to hear the calls. They hid behind the buildings where no one would spot them. I followed them to see what their deal was, then suddenly, I saw Ruby pushing and forcing. Was she constipated or something? Because it sure as hell sounded like this girl was out of her mind.

My opinion on her changed when I saw her transforming into a beautiful wolf with fire and water all at once. Was I dreaming? Was I the one going insane?? This was the girl in my dreams all along, maybe I ran into her for a damn reason. I couldn't believe it, were my eyes deceiving me?? As Izzy too turned into a wolf, but with an ice ability. I pinched myself to assure my body I wasnt dreaming, and realized this was all real. As they ran off to the enemies and everyone saw them, but didn't know who they were.  Only I was aware of their identities, but I wasn't willing to expose them because they were meaning no harm, but to help us fight off the enemy lines threatening to harm our base, possibly searching for intelligence to plan a possible threat, but these two were our only hopes. Everyone was terrified until both of them jumped over and charged at the assholes threatening our safety.

Everyone was relieved, but they saw the two forms spitting fire and water, as the enemies ran off in retreat screaming demons. Though we all knew this wasn't the last of them. They would be back, as Ruby's form came back throwing an enemy, alive at our feet. The soldiers were so persistent, but shock was driven on their faces over this unfortunate traumatizing event. Ruby was staring at them all and showed she intended no harm. She laid down and turned off her fire and water, turning into a regular wolf. Seemed to be her form for when she is not in defensive mode. As all the soldiers gently started to pet her and she showed extreme comfort and no fear around them. Meanwhile Izzy, who too, turned off her ability started sniffing the hands people were putting out so she can smell them and their possible intentions. As soon as she got comfortable, she allowed herself to be touched too in a gentle manner.
