THE SHOCKWAVE
BY: INVISIBLE WRATH

Chapter Eight:
Rude Awakenings

The next morning was a rude awakening.

“WHAT IS YOUR MALFUNCTION, DISEASE!!!!!” Shockwave jerked awake and fell off the top bunk, hitting the floor hard on his injured shoulder.

“Motherfu….” He muttered as he picked himself off the floor. A hand grabbed him roughly by the collar and lifted him onto his feet. Shockwave found himself less than an inch from Beach Head’s face.

“What the hell is your issue, Shockwave?!”

“Can you be more specific? According to rumor I have many.” Shockwave replied with a smile….<Wait, did I just say that?> he thought..

“Did you just grow a sense of humor on me!?”

“Not at all.”

“GOOD! Now why did you beat up Lootenant Falcon without my permission?!” Beach Head demanded.

“I was preventing him from harming Corporal Ji....”

“I know that, insect!!! Why was I not invited!? I’ve been wanting to kick that Green Beret’s punk bitch ass since he was assigned here.” Beach Head grabbed Shockwave by the shirt and pulled him close. “And you FUBARed that. So now you are going to make it up to me.”

Laughter erupted from one of the bunk, causing Beach Head to stalk over to the bunk and pulled the occupant out of bed.

“You get to join him, you reject from ‘A Few Good Men’! I hope you wrote your mommy, Hit & Run, because all she’ll see of you is what I can cram into a sandwich bag! Any more of you have any comments? I thought not. Now get you sorry asses to the gym and wait for me while I decide how exactly I’m going to make your sorry ass little lives a living hell!”

“We’re screwed.” Hit & Run moaned as he got dressed.

“Quit your bitching, Hit & Run, we’re both stuck with this.” Shockwave snapped while he pulled on his clothes.

The two men waited in the gym fro Beach Head to arrive.

“Get off of your sorry ass, Hit & Run!” the drill sergeant shouted as he entered. Shockwave and Hit & Run snapped to attention.

“Now I was thinking what I could do to you both to ruin your pathetic so called lives and I’ve come up with it. You two ladies get to fight me. Get your asses in the ring now!” Once they were in the ring, Beach Head snapped, “Which one of you ladies is up first?”

“I’ve got him!” Hit & Run shouted. “So what are the rules?” he asked as Shockwave climbed out of the ring.

“There are none, disease.” Beach Head replied as he slammed his fist into Hit & Run’s jaw, spinning him to the ground. Grabbing him by the collar, Beach Head threw him into the ropes and clotheslined Hit & Run on the rebound. Shockwave grimaced as Beach Head slammed his knee into Hit & Run’s stomach….

“What’s going on?” Muskrat asked as Hit & Run kicked Beach Head in the stomach, allowing the drill sergeant to grab the leg and throw him into the corner post.

“I have to fight Beach Head once he’s done killing Hit & Run.” Shockwave replied as Hit & Run landed a one two punch, knocking Beach Head back.

“Why?” Hit & Run pressed the advantage and kicked Beach Head in the side.

“I beat up Falcon defending Jinx.”

“So…. you get to fight Beach Head?” Muskrat asked.

“Yeah.” Shockwave replied as Hit & Run flew over the ropes, landing hard on the floor.

“Aooowwww…..” Hit & Run moaned “You’re up, Shockwave…”

“You heard the boy, Shockwave.” Shockwave nodded to Beach Head as Muskrat backed out of the room and ran for the lounge. Bursting through the doors, he started shouting breathlessly…

“Beach Head is fighting Shockwave in the gym!! No rules!!” All the Joes in the room turned quickly.

“No shit!”

“Now?”

“Yeah, come on!” Muskrat shouted as he headed back for the gym, followed by the rest…Jinx followed along, a bit concerned Shockwave was going to end up in the infirmary for helping her out…. but she knew something the others didn’t, which caused her to smile.

“So, you ready for your ass stomping, boy?” Beach Head sneered.

“No rules, right?”

“You heard me, no rules, disease.”

Shockwave nodded “Okay……”
