The World of Guns: 11th Advance

TWO DAYS OF SAILING LATER.

RANK: ADMIRAL

DAY 20

CASH: 5,000,000

The sail to the cooridinates of the convoy was uneventful aside from the daily and nightly orgies Tyler and the girls had that had moans echoing throughout the upper decks. John and Neo volunteering to work the bilges with the two ladies NOT taking part in the sexual play. The morning of the third day Tyler came to in Taylor's large bust with Ahy still afixed to his hose, Rey asleep in his right arm, Selena his left, and Wisp and her girls all drapped over the soldier to creat one HELL of a comfy and warm skin blanket. Tyler smiled as he kissed Rey awake and her pink eyes were shining as she opened them.

"Good morning to you too, Tyler."

"I love you too, Rey."

She smiled warmly and kissed him again before she looked at their blanket of women and chuckled.

"I am SOOOO clad Taylor shaves."

"ME too. Amount a time you two been grinding? SERIOUS ruburn otherwise. Avy's still tight as a freakin miser's fist holding her last dollar. I LOVE IT."

Selena smirked as she got kissed awake now.

"Morning everyone. We'll need a LOT of cream today!"

The rest of the naked ladies woke with a chuckle and Taylor stretched her back in a way her impressive cannons bounced.

"I haven't had so much fun in bed in SO long!"

Tyler smiled as he stole a kiss off her lips and massive orbs.

"Always fun with OUR crew, Taylor. And come on. we got work to do."

They cleaned up in the two person shower before getting geared up for the upcoming battle and Tyler retook his spot at the bridge wih Rey and Selena. wisp and the rest split among their tasks with the Soldier lighting a cigarette with a smirk.

"Status."

Emma's warm voice was heard from the radio.

"Engine room is all green, Tyler!"

"Our fuel reserves are holding at 90%. No current issues or concerns."

"Thanks John. Neo? How's the waterline looking?"

"All clear. Not evena bird in the sky."

"Gun 1 and 2."

"Thing handles like a bus, but locked in. And scope's clear."

"Ditto."

"Gotchya Natti, Paige. Alright. Selena. Bearing?"

"Veer 10 degrees northeast and hold. enemy fleet's last known in five mikes."

"Load cannons and stand by for immediate barrage. I want ONE AA battery ready at all times. that's this ship's achilles heel."

Wisp's breathy voice was heard.

"roger. I have Lilyflower3 in the Plane Killer."

"Good."

Rey had a pair of binoculars looking to sea at that moment.

"Contact. Half a horizon west. Counting four shapes!"

Tyler nodded.

"General quarters! Take out the escorts FIRST then we'll cripple the merchants. We do this right we can loot their entire hold."

Selena laughed at that idea.

"That is SUCH a classic naval warfare move I am PROUD. we don't need nav now."

"I want you on gun 3. ONE spare turret at the ready."

"Roger."

The soldier blonde left and Tyler gripped the wheel of the ship as he pied it into a broadside firing position. Rey looked over from her binoculars.

"I'll help Selena. You got this up here."

He kissed her and she was off.

"Alright. cannons!"

Wisp and Britbitch222 was heard.

"Gun 1 all barrels locked and loaded!"

"Gun 2! locked and bracketed!"

"Selena!"

"Gun three! Set and ready to fire!"

Taylor was heard from the starboard bow as she was spotter.

"I have confirmation! That's our prey!"

"Guns 1 and 2 FIRE!"

The ship was rocked by the thundering 16 inch quad barrel cannons that sent the howling rounds at TWO seperate ships due to the skilled shooters manning them. Tyler watched as the 8 shells slammed into the waterlines of their targets with devestating results. The two frigates defending the now attempting to flee merchant vessels had massive holes blown into their hulls and the water started flooding in.

"Second volley! FIRE!"

The second thunder rang out and Tyler smiled as the two frigates were sunk with wave splitting explosions.

"Hit and sunk! Aim for the merchant's towers, ladies! I'll get us moving in for boarding!"

Selena chuckled as the massive dreadnought responded to the orders.

"NOW we're pirates."

"Ha. And we're still not even HALF crewed. That's the scary thing."

Rey's bell of a voice was heard next.

"What about distress signals?"

"They'll send them up. Which is why I have that third cannon on reserve. if we get jumped, our only option will be to go dead in the water and PRAY we can hit every ship before they cripple us."

John was heard then as the merchants fired back with their lesser 5 inch guns.

"Is it worth the risk to board the merchant vessels, then?"

"Absolutely. If we can get their pamphlets, we can claim the ships and leave them. A recovery crew will be along to retreive them. Pus the cargo is ours to claim. And we're KIND strapped for cash right now."

The ladies chuckled at that one as Wisp spoke up.

"Towers locked."

"FIRE!"

Her quad barrel roared and the first tower on a vessel was hit directly by all four shells and the result was the ship crippled entirely. Britbitch's volley was the same and Tyler chuckled as he brought the ship into position for boarding.

"Kill the crews and we'll load up ladies and everyone else!"

The skilled squad boarded the crippled vessel with ropes and jumps shotguns bellowing. The enemy crew were slaughtered and the hold looted of everything of value. Tyler smiled widely as he tore the sheet off a covered object in the rear....only to be rewarded with a palleted rolls royce car from the 1910s. John whistled as he saw the antique car.

"There were only ten of those made in the real world. I myself own one. MOST impressive."

Tyler smiled as he took the pamphlet.

"I forgot about the other types of cars other then tanks and war vehicles. That's kinda cool. Now I want a delourian."

Selena smirked as the last crate was secured in Elizabeth's hold.

"GET in LINE kid. I was THERE when that movie came out."

"Ha."

The merchant vessel's pamphlet was found in the wreckage of the bridge and the other merchant vessel was also looted. Rey all smiles as she found a cattlemen revolver shipment crate in the hold. The fleet destroyed, the crew returned to the ship where Selena got on the radio to report to the fleet.

"RAzgriz to Allied Fleet, come in. Razgriz to Intrepid come in."

The fleet commander was heard with a sigh.

"Razgriz this is Intrepid. Bad news. The fleet was hit HARD in a surprise assault. we have retreated to huelit and are unable to assist at this time."

Tyler took the radio now.

"Commander, Goreleech. What do we do?"

"For now make em hurt. You're cut off from the fleet until we can get off the shore."

"Roger. We'll go piratin."

He put the radio back and got on the horn to the crew.

"Alright bad news. we need to vanish. All ahead. I want eyes at the rear and the front. Fleet got hit hard and we're on our own up here."

Selena was looking at the map of the area when she tapped an island.

"This island is a four hour hard sail from us, Tyler. I suggest we use it for cover for the time being."

"Gotchya. Hard to port bearing 30. wisp and Brit main the rear gun. Natti and Lily stay in the AA gun. How are we on ammo?"

Emma was heard.

"We are currently just missing the 18 shells fired."

"Okay. Food we're set on. Fuel?"

"At 3 quarters of capacity, Tyler."

"Hmm. we'll need to keep an eye out for tanker ships. We can raid them for an emergency refuel."

Selena looked at him with an intense expression.

"What do we do now, Tyler?"

"Let me think for a minute. We're ONE battleship alone on an entire floor. since the Main Fleet got pushed back onto the beach we won't get ANY support on upcoming missions or sorties. We'll still get paid for the things we do as we DO have our own job board, but they've all gained one to tao stars. Hm."

He looked at Selena.

"Get a sitrep on the nearest harbor with allied forces nearby."

"Roger. Surprise battleship support and steal a port?"

"If we can wing it, we can secure a third port for us to work with. Same time, it WOULD be sailing straight into the hornet's nest as it's be a full scale assault."

Rey came in then and he kissed her.

"Love you too. I'll look at the gauges."

"We're on our own people. NO FUCK UPS."

Tyler and the friends sailed their ship into the cover of a rather large island a few miles south of the sunken naval convoy and the Soldier had a fresh map of the allied forces' progress spread in the war room of the ship with the rest of the crew with them. Tyler tapped a port three days from them.

"Right now allied forces are trying to secure this port, Lisenia Naval Shipyard. A rather important Nazerikian yard where they house their aircraft carrier fleets. At the last report, the allies are pinned down completely due to the heavy aircraft presence and the supporting ship fire. If we sail into that war, we'll be dead in the water with all hands in the cannons. Our only hope is to cripple the fleet, the AIR SUPPORT, and hit the artillery positions lining the shore here, here, and here."

The teenager looked at the group.

"Way we'd do it, is a LIGHTNING STRIKE. ONE turret per ship, one salvo per kill, and NO MISSING A SINGLE COCKPIT."

John lit a cigeratte as he looked at the near impossible task.

"We are not skilled nor had enough hands for such an assault, Tyler."

"I know. This is option A. Option B."

He pulled a second map down and tapped a second port.

"This is Hungri Port. Further north and farther from the allied lines. If we attacked it, we'd need to take out the fleet at anchor in the harbor, cripple the air traffic tower here, and take out the mass of enemy troops on station. A full 10,000 men. And then we'd have to hold it for the needed time for the Allies to move in. If we attacked under cover of darkness we'd have a shot so long as he went in with sorched earth in mind. Now. There ARE civilains in the city around the port. If we go for Option B, you are going to do some damage to the city itself."

Emma gulped.

"Option C?"

He pulled a third map down.

"Option C is we launch a single ship assault against the fleet bloackading Huelit and pray we can get the drop on them. The fleet is made of ten battleships, three heavy aircraft carriers, 15 destoryers, 15 cruisers, and maybe 30 frigates. It's a massive force and we'd need to PUNCH clean through it."

Selena sighed as she sat back in her seat.

"Only three options huh?"

Tyler sighed.

"There is a forth a fifth."

He pulled the map of the thus far mapped floor down.

"Option D. We go pirate for the time being and attack every ship we see in these waters and scavange off their corpses. This is the second lowest risk option we have. but ALSO the most chancy. Because we run the risk of running out of food, ammo, and fuel in the middle of the ocean if prey is scarce. if we went this route, be prepared for some VERY hard sailing as we'd need to be EXTREMELY stingy on EVERYTHING we use."

Neo looked at the Soldier.

"Option E?"

"We surrender and join th Nazerik Military."

The room was dead silent safe for the creak of the ship at anchor. Then Selena nodded with a sigh.

"An option to consider. No matter HOW we hate it. If we DID joint eh NAzeriks?"

Tyler sighed.

"We'd play double agent. And when the oppertunity was ripe, strike. BUT. we'd have to prove ourselves to our new comrades....and get our hands bloody. This one is the safest option. But also the hardest at the same time."

John rubbed his chin as he looked at the 5 differing options.

"No matter which option we choose we are looking at a very hard set of battles ahead. Tyler. What option do YOU wish to take?"

He brought the first plan up.

"Option A. It's straight forward and is something we are MOST USED TO DOING. Show up and kill everything in sight. Same time we WOULD have support from the allied forces as they are currently fighting. If we take the Shipyard, it'll be a floor two HUB we can use AND would also serve as a staging area for the other players. There's a few such ports on the floor the other players can launch from. Plus we'd have the element of surprise during the first few salvos. It WOULD be sailing straight into the hornet's nest, but we could do it. It would be hard and damn near suicide, but we could."

Selena looked at the differing options and nodded slowly.

"I agree with Option A. It's the simplest to achieve and we wouldn't risk killing innocents. even if it would be the most challenging fight of our sea war. I vote Option A."

Rey smiled.

"Option A. We've been through worse."

Tyler smiled as his girlfriend was right. Wisp chuckled.

"Option A. Rey's right. Compared to fighting off the forces at Tragonia and the White Zeppelin? Pff. Cakewalk."

Emma sighed.

"I'd take Option D. Better to progress with a steady and certain plan, then a risky gamble."

John nodded.

"Going without is nothing to be afraid of. And we are soldiers. we cannot expect to have suxh luxury as running water and fine food EVERY time. I vote Option D."

Tyler watched as the votes were cast and Option A wound up being the winner. He nodded and looked at John. Who smiled.

"Democracy at work. so long as we have a VIABLE escape route."

The soldier frowned and looked at the map now with a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm, an escape route. hm."

He looked at the port and smiled.

"we looted a selection of water mines from the merchant ships. If we need to retreat, we'll drop a mass of them behind us."

The heads nodded and Tyler smiled.

"So we're backing up the allied force at Lisana Naval Shipyard. We'll jump the response fleet coming to check on the merchant convoy and resupply off their corpses. Then we head for the Port."

The heads nodded."

"Good. break."

The capable friends split to their tasks. Tyler took the wheel and Selena looked at the nav maps as rey stood beside her boyfriend and he hugged her.

"Love you too, Rey."

She smiled as Selena looked at him.

"So we're sailing into the Lion's den."

"Yup. Odds are we'll take severe damage and HEAVY hits. but. We'll be fine."

She nodded as Bridgit appeared on the radio.

"I heard."

Tyler sighed as they got moving.

"Anything from the player base?"

"They're not in a position to help you as they got pushed back from the poet too. A full scale reassault took place while you were sailing and the death toll hit 150,000 players. The soldiers tried but were hit HARD by the ship's artillery. Right now they're regrouping and readying up for a MASSIVE battle. This next fight is going to be one of the largest in recent history as the Nazericks are STAUNCH in holding the capital this time. Tyler? Be careful."

He nodded and looked at the advisor.

"We'll do what we can. And we're still within three floors."

"I know. the world knows. And a few cells of tier 1 operaters were activated to dive as well. They'll be tasked with furthering the advance as best they can until the allies catch up to YOU, Tyler."

The Soldier sighed at that and leaned on his wheel.

"A few extra hands WOULD go a long way to help us on our ship here. especially people I don't HAVE to train how to use a gun. Hmm. we'll attack the port and see what happens."

Selena looked at him with a smile.

"I have a few war buddies that'd be happy to help. And they're from my CSAR chalk."

Tyler looked at her.

"They decent?"

"Very. and all but one are stupid hot chicks. The one dude is gay. A full chalk of 15."

"14 extra combat medics would be NOTHING but a good thing. Hm."

The teenager war leader looked at the map now himself as he weighed their situation and the available solutions. Then he sighed.

"Even if they dropped now, we'd STILL up shits creek without a paddle. We'd need to take a port anyway. Call muster on your crew, Selena. Bridget, I need a SEAL team too."

"Understood. delta?"

"ABSOLUTELY. two squads. four per. Selena's entire chalk. That's an extra 22 people right there. And all of em experienced soldiers? We'll be able to crew Elizabeth to bare minimum. AND fully crew Gliepnir and our tanks."

Selena nodded and looked at Bridget.

"My unit's Callsign was Eagle Team."

"Roger. Tyler? Your request is being sent to the president as we speak. She'll have an answer in fifteen minutes or less."

"Gotchya. we'll hit the response fleet while we wait."

The screen closed and Rey smiled.

"Don't get any ideas, Gore."

"Love you Rey."

John was heard then.

"I have eyes on unknown ships off the starboard bow, Tyler."

The Soldier looked and smiled.

"Three cruisers, a frigate, a heavy destroyer, and an aircraft carrier. PERRRRFECT. All hands, we're pirating that aircraft carrier. we get our hands on THAT we can launch fighters. and we ALL know how good Razgriz is in the sky."

The girls smirked at that fact as the cannons were loaded and Tyler gave the order.

"Alright. we're playing lame duck. Take out the escort ships and aim for the mid hull of the carrier."

"Roger, roger."

Tyler left the bridge himself now and took a spot in the fore turret and smiled as he set his face in the chin rest and looked through the dot and line mess of a reticule at the scrambling aircraft carrier.

"All cannons...FIRE!"

He fired at the aircraft carrier and smirked as the four rounds slammed into the flight deck JUST underneath it with devestating force. the result being the end of the deck being disabled and the take off of the planes prevented. Tyler smiled as he reloaded the 75 pound shells one handedly into their tubes before he sighted the first cruiser and fired. the enemy ships returned fire and their heavy rounds impacted on Elizabeth's hull. a few pierced her armor but a few bounced clean off.

"Hull breach in bay 4! Sealing the bulkhead!"

Neo's voice was heard on the radio and Tyler smiled as the second cruiser was sunk.

"Stay focused. Stay calm. And we'll be fine. Third volley FIRE!"

The heavy destroyer was hit hard from a full salvo....and was merely crippled. that made the Soldier chuckle as the frigate was sunk with a single hit from Rey's cannon.

"Good kill Rey!"

The last two cruisers were sunk and Tyler retook his spot on the bridge at the wheel to ply the battleship beside the firing chaff aircraft carrier. He then gave the order.

"Take her lads an lasses!"

The squad moved with a will to the boarding ropes while the machineguns spit deadly lead and the grenades flew. Tyler had his carcano up and was plugging heads from the bridge as it TOWERED over the flight deck of the light aircraft carrier while the boarders reached the flight deck with Rey leading the charge and Wisp as medic. Tyler reloaded his rifle and smirked as he saw the panicking captain in his bridge and took aim. he fired and the man's head exploded from the powerful 6.3 mm round took him between the eyes.

"Captain's down. How's the deck, Rey?"

"Pff. They're rookies. We'll have the ship in a mere five minutes."

"Love you too. John, how's the breach?"

"The hole is nothing substantial. we will have it patched in fifteen."

"Good. Selena?"

"No injuries. A few shaky nerves, but no blood."

"Alright. We'll claim the heavy destoryer too."

Rey reported in after they stormed the bridge.

"I got the pamphlet and the ship's ours. Including all aircraft onboard."

"Alright. That's a light aircraft carrier. We'd only need 10 people to sail it."

Selena smirked as she came in now.

"and we can just us it as a blockade for our cannons and to get YOU in the sky."

"exactly. the heavy destoryer we'll leave but take everything and the pamphlet. Once the new hands got here we can set sail with a full battlegroup."

"we just got lucky."

"VERY. And we WILL make the best of this gift...I wonder."

He pulled Bridget up and the advisor had a frown on her face.

"What happened?"

"JUst a THOUGHT. The devs. They're not RIGGING this for me, are they?"

The ship went quiet at that suggestion save for the lapping of the ocean, the screaming of the crew from the last destoryer and the creak of the ships. The Bridget reacted.

"No. They are NOT doing ANYTHING to either HELP YOU or OPPOSE YOU. They have made that VERY clear. And that IS a nasty thought."

Tyler smiled.

"Just seemed a little TOO convienent."

"My thought exactly. But. That IS the standard response fleet for a military distress signal at sea. four escorts and an aircraft carrier."

Tyler shrugged as he got the carrier's pamphlet from Rey as she walked in.

"eh go with it. Alright. who's on the carrier?"

"Wisp and her girls are. We've got our crew in the engine room."

"We'll take the destoryer and move to the port."

"Alright. And the flight deck's not too badly damaged all things considered."

The destoryer was boarded and the crew put down before being looted of everything of value with the pamphlet being given to Selena. who smiled before the friends got moving. Tyler at the helm of the Elizabeth and Wisp at the helm of the light aircraft carrier. Rey smiled.

"We renamed her Mobius."

"Love you too, Rey."

Bridget appeared then and she looked at Tyler.

"Tyler. The president wants to discuss the SEALS and delta unit with you."

"Patch her in."

The screen blinked and the soldier was faced with an image of an older lady with bright bolden hair and green eyes in a full suit. her skin was fair and her bust large in her suit as she spoke in a firm breath.

"Can you hear me, Tyler?"

"Loud an clear Hara."

The President of the United States nodded gravely.

"I recieved your request for support. what do yuo need EXACTLY?"

"Selena's CSAR chalk, and two cells of SEALS. I thought about it, and SEALs have more experience in the type of war i wage. Delta's more landbased anyway."

Selena chuckled.

"TRUE. yet they ARE more adaptive."

"Which is why we'll pick em up when we reach the third floor."

"SMART."

He looked at the blonde president.

"and I'd PREFER the teams be all ladies. Less risk involved to rey and the rest as we ARE going to be at sea a lot."

Hara smirked and Rey looked at Selena with a lifted eyebrow.

"I KNOW why he said that. And he HAS a point. But we all know he's just trying to get new fuckbuddies delivered on a plate."

Selena pulled a large wooden baseball bat from her dufflebag now and tapped it threateningly with a smile.

"Tyler? Keep talking."

"Love you too, Selena. And you look kinda sexy with a baseball bat."

her smile turned into a smirk as Hara chuckled.

"I see the rumors of your idiocy are true. OOOH my HEAD. So. Eagle team is approved and will be deployed to join your squad when you can retrieve them. And I have two SEAL teams activating as we speak. YES THEY'RE WOMEN. Any preference on training?"

"Hm. fluent in eroupean languages. reading, speaking, hearing you get the idea. Skills in demolitions, medics across the board, and an ability to adapt as needed."

Hara nodded as she made a list.

"Medical is the focus?"

"Absolutely. more needlers at once, less chance we have of NOT making it in time for a revive."

"SMART. artillery?"

He frowned at that one.

"Wisp?"

"She's handling like a dream, Tyler. And the repairs are well underway."

"John."

"All green. And fuel was resupplied along with ammo."

The Soldier looked at the President.

"For artillery, have them be skilled in driving tanks and heavy vehicles. We can improvise from there."

"Understood. They're being briefed on their mission now. Anything in particular you want them to know?"

"Yeah. they're in MY crew. Once they join uo with us, they work for ME. NOT the United States."

Hara nodded gravely.

"Understood. And I TRUST my DAUGHTER is happy?"

"Huh?"

Rey smiled sweetly as she walked over and looked at the blonde haird president....while TYLER had a look of surprise.

"Hi Mom!"

"What the FUCK?!"

The ENTIRE boat LOST it! Tyler's utter shock and DUMBFOUNDED reaction sent them into a drop to the floor laughign fit, HARA INCLUDED! Tyler just looked at his girlfriend with a MIND GONE expression as she had tears in her pink eyes from laughing. It took her a solid 10 minutes to recover enough to speak and she kissed her still mindbroken boyfriend lovingly.

"Surprise!"

Hara blinked.

"Did you REALLY have no idea who she was, Tyler?"

He shook his head and his mind refired.

"er, nope. I don';t watch the news and I don't care about politics."

"Some reason? That doesn't surprise me. And it NEVER came up?"

Rey chuckled.

"Gore doesn't care about shit like that, Mom. He never asked, and i never said anything. Hell. I THOUGHT he knew who i was when he agreed to take me with him so easily....theeeeeen he shoved a rifle in my hands and told me to shoot people. yeah. NO CLUE."

"Love you too, Rey."

She smiled and Tyler just chuckled.

"So I'm sleeping with the President's daughter. Seen THAT in a move somewhere."

Selena chuckled.

"I knew on sight. And LAUGHED my ass off when I realised YOU didn't know."

"Soldier barbie."

"Asshole."

Tyler kissed rey and Hara smirked.

"Marrisa, sweetie, WE need to CHAT."

"UGH. I HATE that name now. FINE. I'll call you later."

"WITHOUT the BOY."

"UUUUGH."

Tyler just patted his irritated girlfriend.

"Love you too, Rey."

She smiled and they refocused. Tyler looked at the president.

"It'll be three days till we reach the port. we'll do what we can to take it with the aid of the allied forces. We win, it'll be a solid three days before we can link up with the new shooters. So two weeks out. During which, have them run drill on weaponry from WW1. And get them schooled on warships a the era too."

"SMART and will do. Weapon assignments?"

"Doesn't matter. Since the weapon pool in here changes so freakin much, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Just have them choose a weapon from the era they like and get familar with."

"Will do. YOU keep HER safe."

Rey sighed at that.

"I'm NOT helpless Mom. I KNOW what I'm doing."

Hara smiled proudly at that.

"That's my girl. And you MAKE that idiot work for it."

"why? He already has my heart. No point in making it unneededly complicated."

Tyler smiled as he hugged her.

"I love you too, Rey."

She smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I love you too, Gore."

He stroked her long blonde hair soothingly-

"Oh COME ON you two. We're STILL WORKIING."

Only for an exasperated Selena to shake them from their little world. much to Hara's amusement.

"Seems YOU TWO are set. Damn. I'm kinda jealous."

Tyler smirked and opened his mouth.

"well you know what to do if you want in, Mom!"

Only for Rey's sweetly happy voice to beat em to the punch. Tyler just chuckled at the look of MIND BOOM on Hara's face from her daughter's proposal.

"Atta girl, Rey!"

The pink eyed blonde smiled sweetly.

"we DO need another blonde for that orgy we had planned."

"We do indeed. And we DO need a blonde MILF to round out the collection."

She smacked him with a smile.

"We DO. BAD JACKASS. NO. I LOVE YOU. and FUCKIN HELL MAN."

Selena just took a HEAVY swig from her flask to prevent from MURDERING the cocky kid while Hara just sighed in pain.

"There goes my sweethearted angel. Hello my beautifully sexy and WILD young lady of a daughter. And to be clear. NO."

"We'll see."

"Ugggggh. You are SUCH a HORRID influence."

Tyler patted rey and she beamed.

"Comes with the territory."

Hara sighed at that before smiling.

"I will give the units their new orders. Will you be needing more, Tyler?"

"Hm. We'll slap a maybe on it in case the shit hits the fan. For the time being we're it."

"Understood. Rey? I love you."

Rey smiled.

"I love you too, Mom. we'll be fine. Gore's the best at this."

Tyler hugged her tightly as the screen faded and the blonde smiled.

"MUCH better."

They laughed and Selena smirked.

"Sooo. ABOUT what you said."

"Which part?"

she smirked thinner.

"MY chalk are NOT fuckbuddies. Most are lesbians."

"So wasn't you."

"I WILL neuter you if I have to."

"Love you too, Selena."

The trio refocused and Tyler put the map of the targeted base on a console beside him to review the layout while the two blondes worked to keep their direction. The day wound down and Tyler smiled as Selena elected for a solo at the b ridge while he and Rey snuggled. That stunt nominated her as the unsung hero of the night and the Soldier held his girlfriend tightly as they laid in bed. Rey smiling as he kissed her.

"I love you, Gore."

"I love you too, Rey."

She rested her head on his chest and he held her tighter.

"we'll be fine."

"Of course we will. We have YOU!"
