Chapter Text
It had been a few days since Tord fully took over the globe. It was..crazy. I never thought he’d do something like this. Well- before he blew up our house at least. As of now me, Matt and Tom are with me hiding in this abandoned mall. The mall was huge, the part we’ve taken over was probably an old Tesco of some sorts, given the fact it has so much food supplies and other stuff, which I’m not complaining out. We’ve gathered other survivors. It was sad, but at least we helped those who were left. I stood up and looked at the grey coat I had stolen, it used to be Tords. I frowned and felt the fabric, it was soft yet tough at the same time. I shivered and pulled it around me tighter, the heater was broken in this building, as of now Tom was trying to find somebody to fix it since winter was around the corner. Tho I wasn’t sure if that would even matter. Given that since tord took over there’s more fog in the air… I walked through the base, we used the shopping isles to build little homes/huts for people to stay and have privacy. Thank the lord the bathrooms in this building still worked, if they didn’t then Matt would probably have a mental breakdown..I couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought. I saw Matt and smiled, I looked at him and spoke,
“How’s it going Matt?” I asked quietly, Matt set down his mirror and looked at me.
“Great! Tim has a new plan to get Todd destroyed,” Matt looked back in his mirror and smirked, I shrugged and sighed.
“I..I dunno about this. I mean- I know he’s- he did all of this but…I..” I didn’t know why as my voice trailed off. Why didn’t I want to hurt him? After all he did, yet I couldn’t bring myself to hate him. This feeling was confusing and I hated it. Just as my thoughts spiraled, Tom came over and spoke.
“Alright everybody listen up!” Tom climbed up on a counter, multiple heads turned towards him, Tom was the leader of the Blue Resistance. I couldn’t help but smile, he looked goofy yet professional like this.
“If we don’t want Tord to fucking kill us all, destroy the globe, and keep being his god awful self, we HAVE to kill him, before he kills us!” Tom started his speech, he snapped his fingers, Matt grabbed a paper and stood next to Tom, being taller than him so he held up Tom’s plan paper. Tom pointed at the Red Base on the map.
“This, this is where that asshole is. We don’t know where all the bases are, but if I’ve got anything to say about it, we’re gonna destroy them all, save any innocents, and make OUR army stronger!” Tom grinned, Matt smiled as he listened to Tom’s rant, a few blue soldiers cheered.
“And before we do any of that, we need a FULL PROOF plan. Because we CANNOT have any mess ups here! It’s all or nothing. Life or death in this situation.” Tom’s tone got serious. He pointed at another point on the paper, a picture of tord, Paul and Patryck.
“Now we all know Paul and Patryck are Tord’s right hand men. If we want to get to Tord, we have to get past his army, and his stupid sidekicks.” Tom paused, he looked at the picture, then at the members.
“Any ideas?” He asked. I didn’t know any..I didn’t really want to hurt anybody. I’ve known them all since high school. This wasn’t fair. I just hoped we could settle this peacefully, but even I knew that hope was delusional. Everybody was silent. Then I got an idea.
“….what about disguises?” I spoke slowly, Tom looked at me and raised a eyebrow,
“Go on.” He smiled, I felt encouraged by that and decided to keep speaking.
“We could disguise ourselves as Red Soldiers. We just need to get uniforms.” I shrugged, Matt looked over,
“How’re we supposed to do that? They’ll kill us!” Matt spoke, “and I don’t want my face to get ruined!” He sounded worried and paused “and uh you guys too. But not the face,” Matt smirked. I rolled my eyes and went up to Tom, climbing up on the counter,
“I saw we…we can knock out rookie soldiers, and take their uniforms!” I smiled, my plan was genius. Tom blinked.
“Uh…isn’t that just stripping them-“ Tom spoke confused, my jaw dropped a bit and I looked (and sounded) annoyed.
“Well they obviously have something under that uniform, they’ve have to have a shirt or something!” I yelled, Tom looked like he just pieced it together.
“Ohhhhhh ok. What about my eyes tho? Won’t tord recognize them?” Tom rubbed his chin as he spoke, then Matt chimed in,
“We can get you sun glasses! I have some extra one-“ Matt was cut off by Tom.
“Matt I am NOT wearing your pink heart sunglasses.” Tom said firmly, I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, Matt scoffed
“Fine be that way!” Matt dropped the poster and crossed his arms, Tom paused and sighed very annoyed. “Fine. But only if you get me a Smirnoff after this.” Matt cheered up and nodded
“Deal!” Matt hugged Tom, Tom yelped in surprise and I swear I saw his cheeks go a bit red. I shrugged and hopped off the counter.
“Let’s go.”
