+Rebellion Base+

Tom sat back in his seat behind his desk with Reggie and Zack watching him sadly. He had just finished dealing with the devil, but it was worth it to get his soldiers back.

"Are we really doing this Blue?" Zack asks in a smallish way.

Tom opens his 'eyes' and nods his head. "All of you knew what you were getting into staying back here with me. You had the chance to leave, but every one of you stayed." He could remember a month ago the meeting that transpired.

~Flashback~

"What do you mean split up Tom?" Matt asks concerned by the way Tom is talking.

"I mean what I said Matt, split up. We need to find new hideouts for our groups." Tom folds his hands and placed them on his lap. "I, on the other hand, will stay here. Tord is getting close to finding us, I can hold him off on my own while you guys run for better ground."

"Tom no-" Edd tries to stop him.

"Edd I mean what I say. It would be for him to catch one then all of us. The world needs saving and it can't happen unless its heroes survive." Tom firmly puts into his words when he cuts Edd off. He couldn't let his friends get captured if Tord ever found him or the base. Plus Edd and Matt have a lot of luck with them, he already knew he was running out every minute since the war started. "I'm asking you guys to understand what I'm trying to do here."

Edd clenched his hands into fists. "Then at least let your soldiers decided whether or not they want to stay or go with us."

"Edd..." Matt looks at Edd surprised. Usually, Edd would retort to this kind of thing.

The brunet looks at the ginger with serious eyes. "I'm putting my trust in Tom. I believe he'll come back to us one day, on a better day."

Matt looks back at Tom who looks grateful, his expression softened. "Then I agree with Edd on this one Tom. Let your soldiers decided before we leave." He's Tom's friend too, he worries.

"Lame," Tom says before smiling at them. "But I'll let them decided if it means you guys will find a safer hiding spot." He gets up from behind his desk and walks around to stretch his legs.

Edd and Matt get up too. Edd goes up to Tom and gives his friend a tight hug. Matt joins in grinning as he hugs them both tightly.

"We'll start packing today. The sooner we leave, the better for the three of us."

"I'll talk with my soldiers later about their decisions. The ones who wish to leave can travel and help you two."

"I'll get my soldiers and the survivors ready to pack up for our move."

They laugh and gave each other a group fist bump.

"See you later guys."

~End of Flashbacks~

Reggie reports the current situation after giving his leader time to think to himself. "Everything is ready Blue. All Blue soldiers, not including Merida and Randy, are accounted for. All 4 buildings of the Rebellion base have also been cleaned out of materials Red Leader and his army could use." He reports clearly.

"Thank you for the update Reggie. Have two soldiers escort Paul and Patryk outside with the rest of the troops." He gets up and goes over to them tiredly. Tom had to be with his soldiers at the front of the base when Tord comes to pick them up.

Reggie and Zack leave while Tom takes a moment to take one last look at his office. He puts a hand on the wall and smiles. "Thank you."

With that he leaves the room, going down the halls to reach the front entrance of the base. He walks out to see his soldiers grouped up in front of the building. His supply department had their luggage and supplies neatly stacked.

He sees his new recruits huddled together in their own group. Some of the experienced soldiers are with them and talking with them to take their mind off their current predicament.

The sound of helicopters and cars are heard a distance away. They're getting closer. "Everyone, they're coming his way. Don't be hostile towards them." Tom raises his voice so they could all hear him.

"Yes Blue!"

Over time, 4 Helicopters hover around the base's skies and around 7 large military cars drive onto the lot of grass. Red and British soldiers come walking out of the forest from all areas. None holding gun in their hands to show no harm would come their way.

The largest car opens and 4 people come out. One of them has the smug smirk, Tom knowing it's the prick. Tom walks over to them with Reggie and Zack right behind him for support in case they try anything to their leader. He meets them halfway since they came walking over to him too.

"You must be Thomas Thompson." The man with a full head of grey hair and green eyes says looking down at Tom.

Tom nods seeing the man's many badges knowing he's probably the head honcho between the other two men he also didn't know. "Yes sir, who are you?"

He bent slight in a small bow. "One of the Sergeant Majors of the Army in the Queen's court. My name is Luke Grams, it's nice to meet you. With me is General Majors Richard and Scott." He gives the brunet a sorry look. "I truly apologize for doing this, but we just want our country safe."

"I understand Sir... I would have done the same if it were for my friends." Tom responses, pushing his bubbling anger down.

"Where are our old friends anyways Witness?" Tord asks looking around, not seeing Edd or Matt anywhere.

Tom glares over at Tord. "Hiding from you."

"Pity, I wanted to see their expressions as I take you away from them." Tord's bored eye looks at Tom's group of soldiers and notices two of his trusted soldiers being held back by two of Tom's soldiers. "So you did have my two best soldiers all this time..."

"Good to know even your best soldiers can be held down by my team." Tom smiles mockingly and sticks his tongue out at him. The three Generals were completely forgotten about as he takes to fighting Tord. "Where are Randy and Merida?"

Tord rolls his eyes and snaps his fingers together with his left hand. Two red soldiers came out of the car they were just in, bringing two Blue soldiers out.

Tom pushed past Tord and goes over to his hurt soldiers. When he gets to them he checks their wounds. Randy having the side of his head bleeding and muddy, but drying up. He had growing bruises on his arm and ankle as well as when he pushed up the pant legs and sleeves of the dress shirt. He gently put his hand on Randy's side and the man winces, now informing him there is a bruise there as well. The man tried to speak, but it came out in weak whines. Merida had a bruise growing on the side of her shoulder, but other than that she was safe and better than Randy.

"Blue, I'm sorry..." Merida apologized once again with fresh tears pouring out as she saw her Leader and friend.

"Hush Merida, it's okay, remember this isn't your fault. I don't blame you." He hugs her, making sure not to press on any sore spots. "Right now I need you to walk over to the medical team. I had them get ready to treat the both of you once you came."

"But Blue-"

Tom shakes his head, "No buts Merida, now go." Merida nods and the Red soldiers let them go to their group. Zack and Reggie help the two soldiers walk over there. Once they're closer to his soldiers he makes a running start towards Tord. "I'm gonna beat the fucking shit out of you!" He tackles Tord to the ground and they start throwing punches at each other.

"For what Tom? Being better than you? Let me remind you I always was." Tord rolls the both of them over and has Tom pinned under him. "See?"

"Fuck you!" Tom swears. He rears the bottom of his feet to Tord's stomach and kicks him off. He gets up and drops sits on the taller man's stomach. Tord coughing at the sudden weight even though Tom is pretty light. "This is for Merida!" Tom punches forcefully on Tord's shoulder, sure to leave a bruise. "And this is for Randy!" Right hooking the Norwegian's side of the face. "And this is for all the shit you pull on Edd and Matt!" Punching Tord in the stomach after he got off him.

In the midst of Tom's punches, Tord laughs. He's never felt so alive in his life since the Robot incident. Making this deal was the right choice. "Had enough Tom?" He asks almost gleeful.

A shiver runs up Tom's spine again. 'Tomi, no.' He mentally tells his monster.

'Give me so slack Tom, he's an all-out potential alpha mate. Our genetics are omega based remember?'

Both Reggie and Zack didn't help Tord out from this situation with Tom. They knew he deserved every punch their leader gave him. They focused on helping the two wounded soldiers with the medical team.

Paul and Patryk, on the other hand, had come loose to their binds holding them and ran to help their leader. Paul had pulled Tom off of Tord with a struggle and Patryk got to checking the injuries. The three generals watched them with widen eyes unable to comprehend the situation. They were practically thinking these two are toxic combination when within range of each other.

"Sir stop," Paul says as he keeps a tight hold on Tom's struggling form.

Tom takes a deep breath and calms down. 'I hate him.' He thinks to himself, Tomi, on the other hand, is giggling to himself in their shared mind. "Fine. Just let me go." The Red soldier lets him go and he walks the other way away from his enemy to check on his soldiers."

Tord got up from the ground with Patryk's help then with quick strides caught Tom by the hand. "Wait." He commanded.

Tom stops his steps when Tord grabbed his hand he looks back at Tord with a confused expression. Tord brings Tom's hand up and clicks something onto the brunet's wrist. Tom pulls his back with a jerk and holds his wrist to see what the other man put on him. A small metal bracelet of the sorts, styled with checkered patterns.

"What the fuck is this?"

"A little device to make sure you stay within the Red Army base. It's not activated now, but it will be once you enter the surrounding area of my base." Tord explains causally, he looks to his two soldiers. "Have all Red Army soldiers in England pull out. We're heading back to the main base." He orders.

Paul and Patryk salute their Leader before going back to relay the orders to all of the other soldiers. Tom is dragged by Tord over to the three officials standing still.

"Thank you for your cooperation Generals, from here on out England is official off my conquer list." He hears Tom click his tongue. "Rest assured your country is free, but that doesn't mean we will not be kind on the battlefield if you try to help your fellow countries to try to defeat me." Seeing him smile in confidence put the three Generals to shame. Even though they were free, their fellow nations were still suffering because of this madman.

"We understand Red Leader..." Luke says with the note to not refer to the man by his name.

Tord raises his arm in the air for his soldier's attention. "All Red Soldiers pull out! We're heading back to base!"

The British military stayed to the side with their generals and commanders watching the whole exchange with the Blue and Red soldiers. Both Leaders were ordering their soldiers to put everything away and get ready to depart. Two large planes flew into the area and land on the grass. Red soldiers start piling into the transportation in single file while the Blue soldier took seating in their own plane that they kept in their hangers.

Reggie runs over to Tom. "Blue, everyone is seated in our plane. Some of the soldiers are still putting the luggage away in the storage part of the plan."

Tom nods and smiles at the man. "No rush Reggie. Who's driving the plane anyways?"

"Two of my pilots will be driving your plane to the main base." Tord cuts into the conversation as he's walking over to the two of them.

"My pilots can operate a plane Commie, they can just follow after yours to your stupid base," Tom argues lightly trying his best to tolerate Tord being near him. He's gonna need to get used to it soon if he doesn't want to keep blowing a fuse.

Tord merely waves his finger in front of Tom's face. "Now now Thomas, there are procedures which need to be kept. My base has a station for communicating with our planes. They'll think of your plane as the enemy unless you have my men radio them." He smugly smirks as Tom frowns unpleased.

"Fine." Tom agrees for his soldiers' safety. "Who's driving my plane?"

"Paul and Patryk," Tord answers simply.

"Sir?" Reggie says to bring Tom's attention back to him. If anything the Blue soldiers planned ahead and decided to make sure Tom's attention is always on them. They knew of Tom's temper when it came to Red Leader Thanks to Edd and Matt.

Shaking his head Tom looks back at Reggie. "Ah yes. Get the plane started and make sure the Red soldiers from before are let on board. They're driving the plane to the site." The Blue soldier nods and starts heading back to the plane.

The Blue leader was about to go with him, but Tord once again got in his way again. "What do you want now Norski?"

"You'll be riding on my plane."

"I agreed to go with your army Tord. I didn't agree to stay sticking to your side." Tom remarks.

"None the less you will be working with me from now on. Plus I need to keep my eye on you." He starts pulling him towards the large plane with the Red Army symbol painted on it. Tord stumbles a bit when he feels Tom resist his guidance. "Tom?"

"If you want to keep an eye on me, then ride on my plane with my soldiers," Tom says in a serious voice with narrowed eyes. "I don't want anything bad happening to them Tord. Remember that." He pulls his arm away from Tord's grip and walks over to his plane.

'Classic stupid Tom.' Tord thinks, watching the man walk away from him.

"Red Leader."

Hearing his title, he turns around to face one of his soldiers. "What is it private?"

The soldier keeps a saluted stance. "All Red Army planes are ready to fly out of England. We're ready to get in the air as soon as you give the word."

"Good, have all planes in the sky once that blue plane over there is up in the air. I'll be riding with them due to some certain circumstances..." He trails off seeing Tom board his plane when he looks over his shoulder.

"Anything else sir?"

Looking back down at his soldier be nods."That's all, dismissed." Tord swings around on the ball of his feet to go to Tom's plane.

Making it to the blue styled plane, Tord boarded the plane with Paul and Patryk saluting him as he entered. He instantly notices the Blue soldiers were busy buckling their seatbelt to their seat. The ones wearing blue medical patches were making sure Randy and Merida were comfortable since their bodies were still sore from the beating.

"Where's Thomas?" Seeing the brunet, not inside the plane.

"He came in and took one of the soldiers out of the plane. He said he would be right back after his soldier finished his errand." Patryk answers him with a light chuckle see a small glint of emotion in his Leader's eye.

Tord shakes his head and points to the front of the plane. "Alright, we need to be ready to leave as soon as possible when they get back. To the cockpit you two."

"Yes, sir."

Paul and Patryk got to the front of the plane and take their seats. Both of them wearing headsets provided by the Blue soldiers to connect with the other plane pilots.

"This is Patryk testing headset in Blue plane to other Red Army planes. Can you hear me?"

"Paul testing as well, do you copy?"

While they got confirmed replies, Tom and his soldier, Wen, came back with satisfied expressions. Well just Wen, Tom, on the other hand, seemed somewhat content.

Tord finished putting on one of the headsets and took a seat behind Paul's seat. Tom sat in the seat behind Patryk after getting Wen to her seat with the other soldiers. He put his headset on and turned it on.

"We're all clear to fly," Paul informs.

"Let's get this piece of metal in the air," Tord commands.

Tom let's out a deep sigh as he feels the plane moving. Thoughts deep about his actions.

'We'll be fine... but for how long?'

+Meanwhile+

The three Generals watch the Blue plane take the air and the Red Army ones follow its path.

"Was this the right choice Luke?" Richard asks with his eyes still following the Blue plane.

"I suppose it was General Richard," Luke answers as he lets out a sigh. A small little burden put on his shoulders.

Scott's gaze looks at his tall General curious. "By the way, Luke, that Blue soldier girl... What did she hand you?"

Before the Blue plane had taken flight, they saw the Blue leader come out of his plane with a female soldier. He handed her something and pointed at them. The female soldier nodded and ran over to them quickly. She smiled at them, not even uttering one word to them. Holding out her hand to Luke, the man held his open hand up for her. She drops small wrapped present in his hand and runs off back to her Leader, finally getting back on the plane.

Luke unwraps the paper around the gift, noticing the underside of the paper had words. He smooths out the folds and finds words written in blue ink. His other hand holding a small, purple communication device.

'To the Government,

It seems I could not hide away from the fucking Commie anymore. My soldiers, the survivors, and my friends were all in danger. We knew it was going to come one day for each one of us, but I know my time would be sooner.

Edd's luck will always be compared with the most priceless things in the world and Matt's could be compared to a lot of gems waiting to be found. So I knew they would not be found without me.

I ask that you please support them like they have supported you through this war. They're the only hope the world has left to return to normal.

You're lucky Matt dropped his radio. I leave you with this gift so you may get in touch.

The third leader of the Rebellion,
-Blue Leader: Thomas Thompson
