Chapter 8

"Ya know what? I might've joined this outfit too hastely..." Buck said.

"ORBITAL STRIKE IN YOUR A.O. PLEASE STAND CLEAR."

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

All the Engineers, all the Infiltrators, All the Light Assaults and four Heavies were currently fighting an entire simulated armour convoy, all by themselves.

Everytime one of them blows up, Ivar would spawn a new tank, Flash bike or Mosquito jet.

"LIGHTINING TANKS FLANK THE SIDES!!! WHY WOULD YOU FIGHT A HEAVY TANK HEAD ON?!!" Ivar shouted, obviously angry.

"FLASHES!!! CLOAK AND FLANK BEHIND THE ENEMIES!!!"

Buck was the only one experienced in fighting enemies in a tank so he adapted quickly, but he still blew up a few times due to orbital strikes.

"WHY ARE THE PROWLERS CHARGING THE ENEMIES?!! ARE YOU MASOCISTS?!! TAKE FUCKING COVER AND SHOOT FROM BEHIND THAT COVER!!!"

Ivar accidently shot his guns a few times due to him sqeezing the trigger from anger.

Ivar typed something on the screen on his arm and a NS robot came running with a crate. The others on the sideline with Ivar were very terrified that if they say something, that Ivar would either shoot them or blow them up.

When the NS robot approached Ivar with the crate, the others saw it was a crate full of Vodka.

*POP*

Ivar popped the cap off and started aggresivelly chugging it down.

--

After about two hours, the training ended and the soldiers in the vehicles ended up learning the pattern in how they have to attack/ not get blown up.

"Good job today! Go and eat and then gets some rest! Tomorrow, will be your day off!" Ivar said before drinking another Vodka bottle.

Now this happens a lot, but everyone was shocked, confused and busy crying.

"YES, SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

They went to the caffeteria and was met by a very seductive aroma coming from the kitchen.

Tonight's dinner was a buffet with all types of food that they can choose from. There was also wine and ice-cream.

Ivar came out of the kitchen with a whole roasted chicken in one hand and three Vodka bottles in the other.

"Just fucking eat, you lazy fucks!" Ivar said while walking through them, back towards the armoury.

Buck instantly ran for the buffet, took two bowls and proceeded to fill it up with food and ice-cream. The others soon followed.

"Ya know, I sometimes wanna quit this outfit, but then stuff like this happens." Jasmine said.

"Yeah, but I mean did you hear General Ivar today? He gave us a fucking compliment!" a Light Assault said with her face in the bowl of ice-cream.

"Oh yeah... Jessica?" Jasmine asked while Jessica, the Light Assault, was eating her ice-cream aggresivelly.

"Its 'cause we learned something I think. He's teaching us these things in the most horrible ways so that we can adapt in real battle" Buck said with his moustache full of sauce and or ice-cream.

"As usual, Buck tells us the life lesson while we eat." a heavy assault with a scar across his cheeck said.

"Ya got a fuckin problem, son?" Buck stood up to look the Heavy in the eye while the guy was still busy getting food from the buffet.

"What are you gonna do old man? Repair me?"

"Son your talking to a Captain without introducing yourself or saluting. What ya gonna do? Fight me?"

"What if I do?"

Buck had enough of his shit and headbutted him in the nose and slapped him across the floor.

"Whats your name again? Eren right?" Buck asked while bending over to look at him in the face.

The Heavy lay on the ground while he held his bleeding nose.

"You might have extra armour and I might have a repair tool, but your still a little momma's boy who just joined the military. Now while you sit there and think about what you've done, I'm gonna report to Ivar that I hit an ally. Go fuck yourself, son." Buck said and finished one of his bowls of ice-cream and food mixed together before heading towards the armoury.

The other stared astonished at Buck and then to Eren who was now crying on the floor.

"I mean he even called General Ivar "son" and got away with it so why would you pick a fight with him?" Jasmine said and everyone nodded in agreement.

"FUCK!!!" Eren yelled.

A NS robot came with a mop and proceeded to mop Erens face and the blood around him. When Eren tried to fight back, the NS robot became agressive and smacked him with the mop several times before it continued to mop his face.

Buck entered the armoury and found Ivar examining a Saunderer with the Outfit's skull face emblem.

"Sir! Sorry for disturbing ya but I hit a boy in the caffeteria for being smug with me." Buck said while saluting.

"Buck, I'm premoting you to a officer in the Outfit. For your punishment for hitting the annoying fuck, you have to sit here and drink with me." Ivar said while handing a Vodka bottle over to Buck.

"I see your lookin at that Saunderer intensely. Mind telling me whats on your mind, son?" Buck said while sitting on a crate next to Ivar.

Ivar finished a bottle of Vodka before opening another one and started drinking again.

"This Saunderer was the first one we used when this outfit was starting out. Me, Steff and Tifon were in it when we rammed a Vangaurd off a cliff." Ivar said while laughing at the memory.

"I remember them. You won't believe me but I actually saw that." Buck started laughing too.

They both laughed and drank that strong space Vodka before they became silent.

"If it wasnt for Ash, We... they still would've been here." Ivar continued.

"I know its a soft spot but can ya tell me what happened?" Buck asked while finishing his bottle.

Ivar handed another bottle to him before gesturing to the NS robot to bring more Vodka.

"When we were on Esemir, we were on our way to the warpgate before being ambushed by an entire outfit's worth of NC led by Ash. First we fought back, but our Saunderers got taken out one by one until only a few of us were left. We made it back to the warpgate but so many of us died including Steff and Tifon. I tried reviving them on our base by downloading their consience onto their clones but Ash destroyed all of the pods before we left for the mission." Ivar explained.

"I see..." Buck said while both of them chugged the Vodka.

"Wait a minute? Clones?" Buck asked confused.

"You ever wondered why our motto was "We fight even after death"?" Ivar asked while pointing to a massive door on the wall at the far side of the armoury.

"Its something Henry, our best Combat medic, and Agu, our best Engineer, made before Ash turned on us. We could clone each other and send our consience in the clones after we died, that way we could still fight. But this is something we hid from the public since this could become dangerous if other factions started using it too." Ivar explained.

Buck was completely dumbfounded and couldnt believe what he was hearing.

"...I'll keep my mouth shut." Buck said after a while.

"Thank you. Go and rest now. I'll inform the others tomorrow of your premotion."

Buck stood up and went over to his qauters, stumbling on his way since he was a little drunk.
