When the radio previously held by the still unconscious black agent sparked to life, Velobo paid close attention. Looting the agent had proved fruitful in many ways. The most important acquisition was a device that was tracking all of the agent's locations on the battlefield. Using it, he had the location of each of the other black agents, and with that, presumably the location of the other contestants.

"Attention Onyx Squadron, we have a Class-CK situation. One of the intruders has captured the Red Base. We also have reason to believe that there is an eighth intruder."

For a moment Velobo wondered how they could have discovered this information, momentarily wondering if there was some sort of bug on his captive, and if they had been listening in for a while now. He dismissed the thought after realizing that he probably would have been attacked by now. The next thought was that one of the others had been captured. The cuboid worried about which of the others could have been interrogated by the agents.

He looked down at the tracking device once more and noticed that one of the agents had begun to move quickly. Before he could study the device further, he was approached by one of his soldiers.
"Uhm.. Sir... I think that you need to look at this."

The regiment, which had once more used their malleable color in order to bypass any opposition into the Red Territory, was flying above various red soldiers marching to whatever missions they had. That is, until the various red soldiers suddenly stopped in confusion, as they all changed to Teal.

Upon seeing the conversion of all of the miscellaneous red soldiers, Velobo's frontal eyes widened up and his jaw dropped. It was of course, now, when the avocado soldiers had their backs turned, that the black agent awoke. Despite being confused by the events on the battle field below, Velobo was aware enough to see the agent get up and launch a pre-emptive attack.



"General, we need orders on the 43rd Regiment over in 50,20."
"General, where do you want your coffee?"
"General, the 13th in 13,32regiment needs backup!
"General, what are you going to do about that corpse?"
uhm...

Tengeri, newly appointed general of the Teal Army was unprepared for her new position. Shortly after the soldiers around her had seemingly adjusted to the loss of their previous general, they had quickly rushed her with all sorts of questions and requests about the state of battle, the various supplies, or absolutely anything that they seemed to be unable to decide on themselves... which, to her dismay, was a surprisingly large amount.

The doctor attempted to make sense of what had happened, but the more she stayed silent, the more that the soldiers pestered her about absolutely everything in regards to the war. Suffice to say, if she was capable of it, she would be sweating bullets.

I can't handle this kind of thing. She tried to blank out the demands of her subordinates, trying to shift through her own thoughts. I am just a doctor, not a strategist, I can't take control of an entire army! I need someone who can actually manage others in battle...


"General, which army is of the greatest priority?"
"General, can we get a re-stocking on pens in the office?"
"General, there is an oddly colored helicopter approaching, intelligence says that there is some odd cube creature inside, what are your orders?"

The slightly nervous wreck of a Leviath looked up with a small smile. Could it be Velobo? Finally, someone I know... someone who can help me figure out all of... this.

Tengeri slightly re-adjusted herself, floating with a bit more confidence, and gave out orders to treat them as allies. As soon as the soldier saluted and left out on his way, about three more entered in his place. Well... one order down... many, many more to go.



After landing, and being greeted somewhat halfheartedly by the various red soldiers, Velobo, his 13 avocado green soldiers, and their single black-clad captive, began to walk through the Teal Base to meet the general. The various odd former yellows were nonchalant, and the captured agent was scowling, sending Velobo terrible looks. He wanted to curse the cube, spit at him, or whatever came into his mind, but for now the look would have to do as he was suitably bound, cuffs and everything. He was pretty pissed off, and the teal army retrieving them with open arms only made him angrier. He at least hoped that this was all part of a plan set up by one of his allies in Onyx.

This was what Velobo feared. While he had put on an accepting face, and gone with the flow of the teal army, he was actually very paranoid. While it was true, that one of the other contestants could have taken the red army and then heard of him, he had other thoughts. What if the generals could change color on their own? What if this was a trap? What if whoever was behind the color change was against him regardless?

No, Velobo did not trust this situation, and behind his small smirk, he was searching for anything that could be conceived as suspicious.

At the same time, he was plotting. Counter-measures for any kind of trap waiting. If there was a black agent waiting for him, he would leap and knock him out with his tongue. Many agents armed with conversion guns would lead to escaping via the elevator shaft. While there were not many options that would lead to escape for all of the small avocado army, but Velobo had to focus on preservation of him if there would be any avocados at all. Still, even though he had only been with the soldiers for a few moments, he couldn't help but think badly of himself if he did just strand them. No... He scrapped those plans and thought of any others.

*Ding*

They had arrived. Still thinking about what trap laid ahead, the Plazmuth continued his vigilant staring and waiting to strike.
The doors swung open and the bright light of the room entered in the elevator, and with it rushed in a group of teal soldiers.

"MOVE IT." "GET OUTTA MY WAY." "I NEED TO GO GET MORE COFFEE." "I HAVE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO."

The various soldiers packed into the elevator, each yelling and attempting to push each other so that they could return to their important stations.

It took a little while, but soon, Velobo and company exited the elevator, disoriented and confused.

"What just happened..."
