[MS] "Double Trouble" Travels (Day 15-)
- Thread starter Karl Jak
- Start date
As the morning sun crested over the buildings in the village of Coba Wraith crumpled up a report she had received and threw it at the nearby wall.
“They have a slightly larger force and they’re unwilling to parley, General.” One of the scouts reported.
“So, all of the scouts in the previous detachment are dead?” Wraith asked, crossing her arms.
“Yes ma’am. They’re very overdue.”
“Very well. Lieutenant, get the battalion ready to move. We have received new orders.” The Void Specialist said to PJ.
Looking over at the sergeant in front of her she sighed.
“Go speak with Aapo. Thank him for his hospitality and alert him to the fact that we’ll leaving some troops behind.”
With a salute the scout departed to complete his task. It was nice to be moving again. Wrath was getting stir crazy sitting in this village while others were probably dying or getting to experience actual combat. Afterall, she joined this competition to put her skills to test. She was wasted just sitting in a village. Plus, it also meant that if the opportunity to take a swing at Karl Jak presented itself. She would capitalize on it.
A few hours had passed, and the entire battalion was ready and in formation just outside of the village. The garrison forces had been given their orders. Nothing was left to do besides being the slow march to their new destination.
“Company…move out!”
Wraith took point with her squad of bodyguards, hand on her Wingman and Kraber strapped to her back.

Wraith took point with her squad of bodyguards, hand on her Wingman and Kraber strapped to her back.
One of the scouts in the front of the column whistled sharply which made Wraith raise her head from thought. She saw that she was being beckoned by her lead scout. Making her way to where he was she began silently ordering her people into defensive lines, her snipers ready for anything.
“What is it, Corporal?” She said, crouching down behind some shrubs.
The man handed her some binoculars. “One target, ma’am. He seems to be alone.”
Taking the pair of binoculars from her scout she looked through them. All of her concern and worry melted away as her body relaxed.
Mirage.
He’s alone.
Her moment of relief came crashing to a halt at the sound of a Kraber going off.
Eyes on him. Move!
No no no no no.
Wraith sprinted to the front of the column of soldiers not knowing whether the man she cared deeply for was alive or not.
“Cease fire! Cease fire! That’s an order, dammit!” She yelled into her comms, not able to see the clearing where he was yet.
Please be okay.

“Bamboozle, Bamboozle!”
The electronic sound of the voice that dissipated with the decoy she held in her arms both filled her heart with joy and boiled her veins with intense frustration.
“ELLIOT!”
Daggers leered into the thicket, where a head of rustled hair full of dead leaves and crooked goggles sat upon a pair of peeking eyes, peering over a small bush.
“Mirage if you don’t get over here I will shoot you myself.” Her words spat through her teeth while she tried to calm her nerves.
“So uh, happy bamboozles? I didn’t think you guys would actually shoot me!” He shyly poked out of the bush before trotting over, cautiously glancing around for other snipers.
“I am leading an entire army of armed forces. What did you think was going to happen?” She began to stomp over to him.
“Alright, I’ll come clean. I had absolutely no clue, but hey it worked out right? I found you!” Mirage nervously laughed and held his arms up in surrender. He watched her furious march come closer and closer…
“H-hey, Renee, you aren’t that mad right-”
He was interrupted by the tightest embrace he had ever experienced. This was on par with a Gibraltar squeeze.
“I’m glad to see you Elliot. I didn’t even know you were here.”
Mirage gave a bit of a wheeze before Wraith let go of him. “Oh, well, yeah, who isn’t happy to see me? Especially me without a sniper bullet in the chest!”
Wraith could only roll her eyes, though a smile crept on her lips. Never change Mirage, never change.
“Anyways, speaking of knowing who is where, or something, “ Mirage started, waving his hands around. “Where have you been? I checked all the hospitals like three times! I think at least, sometimes it’s hard to look at the maps. I might have been visiting the same one over and over.”
Wraith pulled him in closer as she looked behind him, checking the trees. “We have a lot to talk about, is there anyone else with you? I doubt anyone else can survive a shot like that and not actually be hit. Something a little special to you I guess.”
“Yes, and no. I mean, no, then yes? It’s just me and dead decoy me.”
“Come on, we need to make camp for the night, and I don’t want to talk out here. Did you see any of my scouts on your way over here?” She walked beside him as they walked back to the soldiers.
“Yeah, about that…” The legend scratched the back of his head and gave a meek smile.
“Dammit Mirage, what happened?”
“So uh, how about that camp?”

“Do you think we took the right path?”
“Isn’t interdemon-antidim, weird portals in reality your thing?”
“It’s hard to think.”
The duo marched with their army, occasionally taking rest to scout out their surroundings. They were on their own now, a company lost in no man’s land. Help from any other party was no longer an option, at least for now.
“We got the best squad out there! Of course we took the right path! That cocky guy with the gold armor is clearly compensating.”
Wraith stifled a laugh, still having some trouble as she stumbled for a moment.
“Woah, hey, be careful, alright? These guys still need their general.”
“They need you, Mirage.”
“Me? Well, I mean, yeah, me. But what are you talking about?”
“They need you as much as I do, Mirage. I can’t lead them, not like this.”
“Alright, stop talking nonsense, you’re fine, it’s just a scratch. A really deep scratch.”
Wraith sat on a nearby boulder, taking a deep breath. A nearby soldier came up to them and saluted.
“We see some villagers nearby, we might be able to help them, if you deem it so, General Wraith.”
“Not me, it’s him you should be reporting to.”
“General?”
“Did I stutter, sergeant? You now report to General Mirage. He will be deciding what our next steps are.”
Both Mirage and the sergeant looked in disbelief.
“You have to be the general now, Mirage. I can support you where I can, but you need to make the plans right now. I can’t- ugh.” She shook her head as a sharp pain erupted from her leg. Mirage quickly tried to check on her before she put a hand up.
“I’m fine, it’s going to be like this until I heal up a bit more. Stuff doesn’t heal like it does in the games. We have to use normal meds here.”
Mirage nodded, “Well, I guess I can go ahead and take command. I bet the troops will be pretty impressed! I mean, we just have to wait it out a bit, right? I haven’t seen a bloodhound, so we should be pretty set to go ahead and see if we can jump in on some third party battles, right?”
“It’s going to be a lot harder than that, but, yes. That’s the general idea.”
“More like General Mirage.” Mirage spoke with a wink.
“Speaking of, sir. Your orders for the villagers nearby?”
“Well, I’m sure they would apple-apric, they would really like to not be eaten by weird clown things or dragons. Mirage to the rescue!”

Face to Face
Withering Fire!
Withering Fire!
The two had turned south, taking their travels into unknown territory.
That territory welcomed the paired armies with fire, steel, and gunpower.
"Go for cover!" A wheezing Wraith bellowed as the explosive crashed down into their group.
