(Name) slammed the gate doors behind her with a heave and let out a relieved sigh, looking behind her to see the squad up ahead and she hurried to catch up, trotting nerviously behind until she came to a complete stop and missed what Sam said, "This place is friggin' massive... And the statue is silver!"

"Yeah, the bums didn't even melt down his statue for scraps! Now that's respect..." Baird spoke aloud, rolling his eyes when there was a call about the Lambent, "And we're back to work, again!"

(Name)'s eyebrow twitched with annoyance, she turned off the saftey and reved up the chainsaw, "Wonderful, more stuff to kill..."

Cole split everyone into two teams, (Name) was sent upwards with himself and Carmine. She shot some sneaky glowies and proceded onwards, ducking down in time to miss being decapitated and shot the poor glowie monster. She peaked over and blinked, eyes going wide, "Gunker and incomming glowies!"

"Thats my line!"

"Shut up and shoot it Baird! No time to act like a blond diva!"

(Name) jumped down from the high grounds, stomping onto the gunkers head and pushed off with agility. While airborn, shots rang past her as everything seemed to be going in slow motion like a dream and then it all came crashing down to reality when the Gunker exploded and sent her flying into some boxes. Everyone crowed around to see if she's alright, "(Name)! Are you alright?!"

"That... Was... Epic!" (Name) shouted as she sprung up from her bizzare trap, hair and goggles disheveled as she blew a strand out of her face. She accepted Sam's hand to pull her out and was freed, the big smile never left her face as they walked through double doors to the player room. She resisted the urge to clamp her noes shut and just browsed around, "Things do last... The smell included on the long list..."

(Name) was dragged to the side by Carmine, a small yelp left her lips as she watched from the sidelines. She shook her head at Cole and facepalmed, "Wait for it... Wait for it..."

Cole planted the bomb, "Touuuuucccchhhhhdooooowwwwnnnn Cougars! The winning point scored by none other than the Cooolllleeee Traaaiiiinnnnn! Now get out of-"

Then the bomb exploded and Cole went flying by a few feet, "-Nevermind..."

Everybody ran over to Cole, Sam shook her head, "You alright, Cole?"

"Ha. The Cole train still got the moves!"

(Name) shook her head, "If you don't count the neon firework shit, sure! It's a Six point gain with the wonderful feild goal kick!"

"Now your talking, (Name)!" Cole said once he got up off the ground, Baird patted her on the back alittle too hard and she stumbled forward alittle, "Thats the move I used against the Eagles in the final game, though shit didn't go exploding in your face!"

"Speaking of birds, we gotta fly on up to the mothers' nest!" (Name) said, thumbing behind her to signal that they should really get out of there before more Stalks appear and spoil the victory. They left imeditly, only to be bombarded with a distress call from Sovereign.

"Oh, Damn it! Well, (Name) there goes our dinner plan..." Carmine joked, knowing full and well just to mess with Baird and make (Name) blush; two points for him now. (Name) plotted some revenge while keeping on the move, letting out a stressed sigh.

The door was lifted up and they entered, (Name) peaked outside the window, "Well, smack Carmine' ass and call Baird sexy..."

Both said men looked at you, pink dusted their cheecks but no one could really look at Carmine's face anyway before Sam cuts in, "Well, nice while it lasted!"

Baird looked out the said window, "Ah, shit!"

"Hey! This is all your fault! Those things left us alone until the COG showed up!" A woman with a winter hat on said with venom in her voice, (Name) growled out in annoyance and irritation.

Cole spoke up, "Ma'am our ship is in trouble, and we need to get back fast. You got any transport we can borrow?"

"Oh—! Here's the keys to my luxury yacht!-" The woman started, giving Cole the middle finger before (Name) scoffed at the woman.

"Damn, that yacht must be a piece of shit if your owning it." (Name) said alittle too loud on purpose, everyone looked at her like she was insane, "I feel bad it's being driven by an ass like you, not like you can even drive it without having to bitch about it."

The woman walked up to (Name), unaware of the said female growling under her breathe, "What did you-"

"Focus your skinny ass on evacuating your crew, okay?" (Name) said while poking her in the chest, "If you don't have transport, then just say so."

"Look, COG, your on your own." The woman said as she walked away, (Name) sneered at the woman from behind before she gave her the middle finger and ran it across her neck, "Get out while you can."

Another Stalk popped up and (Name) growled in annoyance, cracking her knuckles. She ignored what they where saying, glaring heavily at the Stalk; it looked like it leaned away out of fear but she wasn't sure. Sam tapped her shoulder to move on, (Name) snapped her eyes shut and just followed behind like she's suppost to with everyone else to the elevator. (Name) got on the side with Sam and Baird, the elevator jossled and (Name) squeaked some.

"You know, maybe we should have gone the back route after all." Baird said aloud, (Name) agreed silently. She stayed down and fired a few rounds before the elevator came to a stop, eyes going wide as she groaned and said something under her breath, "What was that, Rookie?"

Carmine looked over, "Well... Shit."

"Uh—anyone afraid of heights?" Cole question, (Name) raised her hands before Stalks popped up.

Baird looked back nerviously, "Uhhh... Not anymore. Love heights. I love 'em. Fuckin' love 'em."

"Can we JUST GO?!" (Name) hissed, catching a hook and whined. Everyone jumps and slides on, leaving (Name) behind, "...fuck."

The group landed, Cole did a count and stopped, "Wheres' (Name)-?!"

"Somebody catch me!" (Name) screeched, Baird looked back in time to have her land ontop of him and their faces near centimeters away from one another, "Oh, hello there Baird. Nice of you to catch me."

"Nice to be your couchin..." Baird joked, sitting up and rolled over so (Name) is on the bottom and covered up securely, "Now, let me deal with these annoying shits and I'll get back to you~"

Baird planted a kiss on (Name)'s cheeck, dealing with some glowies. The Gunker exploded, though not the reason why something is shaking the bridge as (Name) pushed herself up and she fell right into Baird's arms. He helped her stand upright and both ventured onwards, "Y'know, I'm more worried about the stability of this bridge than some trigger-happy Stranded."

"Yeah... This doesn't look good at all." Carmine interjected himself, "And why did you snap at the woman, (Name)?"

"If I said I'm on menopause, that would be a shitty excuse."

"Oh come on, will you? Get on with it! If we loose that ship, we loose everything we got!" Sam spoke up, "Including (Name)'s cereal..."

"Oh no! Not the cereal!" (Name) said with sarcasm, rolling her eyes, "I think I can survive with just the air..."

(Name) snuck a quick peak at Bairds' ass, "And a few good looks of that ass... Rawr~"

(Name) was brought out of her trance with a trip over something and grabbing the railing, pulling herself up and continuing onto her way without much trouble. She looked at the tall barrier, "Well, scaling is out of the picture. I had enough heights for one trip!"

"My unique charisma should do the trick." Baird boasted, "Isnt that right Carmine?"

"Uh, yeah, I'll have to lend you some of mine."

(Name)'s ears picked up on laughter and grunting, she looked over to the barracade to see movement within and instantly frowned. She shuffled onwards to catch up with everyone else. She ducked in time for gunfire and everyone got on the defensive, (Name) fired a few rounds and hit several Locus people.

"Locust shit-heads!" (Name) called out, how she could tell was beyond her reasoning and it could explain why she was in the top of her class though she didn't even try. She peaked back over and eyes went wide, "And they have turrets made our of the older lancers! Creative bastards..."

"Yeah, ontop of the barricades, too!" Carmine said aloud, (Name) thought for a minute before snipping the heck out of those Locust.

"Boom! Head shots!" (Name) cheered, ducking back down before she was snipped, "Someone pissed these guys off! Baird, Carmine, Cole say sorry for being such ungraceful host!"

"Yeah, charisma. Works every time!" Baird said, registering what (Name) playfully scolded him for, "I will eat you (Name)!"

"Now isn't the time to be trying out for kids, Baird~" (Name) cooed loudly, sending the blond hair man a wink as the man grinned. The last Grub was killed and (Name) came out of her spot, walking over to the door just to jump out of the way, "Oh come on! I don't need this now!"

The boomers where slaughtered with bullets, a few incendiary and frag grenades, and good ol' ass-kicking. She whooped in delight and jumped through the door. She looked around cautiously, venturing on and taking out the problems in her wake with experctiese. Baird fought the urge to pounce (Name) and kiss her senseless, but all shall be given in due time.

::Some time later::

"Son of a bitch..." (Name) gaped, just staring at the size of the Leviathan, "THATS a LEVIATHAN?!"

Cole looked over the edge, "Marcus, whoo, that's one big ugly motherfucker!"

"Cole, can you see this shit?"

"Baby, we got a grand stand view—we're crossing the bridge, right above the ship."

"Anway to kill this thing from where you are?"

(Name) jumped in on the coversation, "Sorry to jump in like this buuutttt, holy shit hi and we're going to need to blow bigger shit out it's glowing ass!"

"And before you can continue, me and the blond boy genious shall come up with a plan to do just that! Have fun shooting it's eyes out, mr. Marcus sir~!"

Cole just looked at (Name) like she was insane, "What? No one killed a Leviathan? If not, we're so-"

Baird cuts in, "No probelm—I've killed glowie Leviathans before, remember? At Vectes dockyard. Saved your asses."

"You killed one. A baby at that! And wrecked the harbor doing it. That one's twice the size!" Sam cuts in, (Name) facepalmed.

"So what's your plan? Nag it to death? Wait a minute—you actually could!"

"Ladies!" (Name) snapped, "And gentlement, pardon me, but if we don't move our asses right now, shit is going to go flying into the fan and splatter on the white sheets called OUR ONLY HOPE! NOW MOVE THE ASS BEFORE I LOOSE IT AND GO BESERK ON SOME UNFORTUNATE SOUL HERE ALIVE!"

Everyone noded and got into gear, the guns lost and (Name) banged her head on Sams' shoulder, "Fuck! Okay, grubs must have some ordanance here. We find it, me and Bairdy-all-Mighty can make it spark lovely fireworks of pure death~"

Everyone got onto the move, tickers fell down and came close before an idea clicked, "Got it-"

"Hey, that'll do the job. Find us some more tickers! Drop, splat, bang-"

"Woosh!"

"-End of story!"

Sam rolled her eyes, "Yeah—if they don't kill us first!"

"And here I though you where the half glass full type, Sam~"

"Shut up (Name)."

::Some more time later::

"Bombs away! And all that shit..." Baird said at the ticker case dropped below.

"Whoo-hoo!" (Name) cheered, too much in the mood to realize she pulled Baird into a lip-lock and techincally confessed her love to the blue-eyed blondy. Everybody, mostly Carmine and Sam, where shocked when Baird wrapped arms around her waist and kisses back. It was broken with a painful screeching from below and the bride cracking, everyone went sliding downwards.

"Oh shit man!" (Name) shouted over the commotion of screaming, gripping on for dear life, "If I don't make it, tell Baird he has one sexy piece of ass known to man! And that I friggin love him!"

"I can still hear you, (Name)!" Baird said, geing caught by Sam, "Uh, I suppose you want me to say I always loved you but I don't. I really, really don't!"

Baird continued, "I'm in love with another chick in this group! Sorry to break your heart, Sam!"

And then everyone slid off, the rest went up in an explosion with grub-on-glowie action and a slurry of both in a bizzare concoction...

A/N: *laughing* I-I just HAD to use Baird's famious quote he said to Sam! I found that HILLARIOUS!
