This chapter is all about Jake, so that way I can truly convey his character to you guys. Because he is gonna be important. HINT HINT "Ugh, why does Charlie have to watch EXPLODING DONUT this early in the morning?" Jake asked himself groggily, "might as well get started." Heading out of the home-base to start his walk to the vanguard quartermaster to get a new hand cannon. As he walked into a bad part of the tower, as it was the fastest route to the vanguards, he saw a female awoken titan being harassed by some drunk warlocks (by harassed I mean being insulted greatly and knocked around). Jake immediately went into his "protective" mode. He walked up to the drunkards and prepared to scold them. "Look, shomones coming," one if the warlocks slurred. "Letsh fight them," the other warlock said, his partner agreeing with a nod to his idea, took a step forward and cracked his knuckles. They went to opposite sides of Jake and prepared to fight him. With his rage kicking in, Jake took up a defensive form, his rage derived from the battered Titan lying in the street semi-conscious due to the beatings she had received. The warlocks then charged drunkenly, striking with surprising accuracy, however, their strikes had little force. "Is that all you warlocks got?" Jake taunted, enraging the warlocks into action. They then drew weapons and proceeded to the eating him by putting a hand cannon to his forehead. Jake stood there unflinching, surprised that his taunt forced the two to such actions. In one split second Jake punched the one with the gun in the gut, causing him to drop the weapon. The other grabbed Jake's knife from its sheath and cut him across the forehead. Jake reacted suddenly and brought his left hand crashing into the warlocks head. The warlock fell to the ground unconscious, with Jake bleeding profusely from his forehead, and the Titan unconscious in the street. Jake limped over to her, just now realizing the warlock had stabbed his left leg as he had fallen unconscious, causing a deep and painful wound. He then lifted the Titan up and onto his shoulders and carried her back to the home-base. _______________________________________________ Jake silently opened the door, as it was still very early, so early that only Charlie was awake. Closing the door behind him and limping over to the couch, he gently set her down. Jake proceeded to get Charlie it stop watching EXPLODING DONUTS to care for her. Jake limped to his room to treat his wounds. Until his communicator beeped, with a call form he vanguard. "Jake, this is Cayde, we would like to recognize your brave actions, and skilled fighting in the face of 2 armed assailants, of which you took both down non-lethally. Come to the for your reward." Jake headed out and entered the hall of vanguards, cause sports him and brought him two packages. When Jake opened them, one contained a [i]Hereafter[/i] sniper rifle, and the other contained a Graviton Forfeit helmet. Jake accepted his gift graciously, and returned to the home-base after donning his new gear in the vaults. When Jake walked into the door Charlie was taking to a bruised awoken Titan. She had long midnight blue hair, purple eyes, and light grey skin. Charlie pointed to Jake, and said something unintelligible, as Jake was too far to hear. Charlie then left to watch his stupid show on the big screen. "Charlie says you are the one that heroically saved me, is that true?" She asked in a soft, beautiful voice.' "Umm, yes I did," said Jake, his mind blank, as he had never talked to a girl with such a beautiful voice before. "Well, thank you for that, those two were going to throw me off the tower because I wouldn't go or with one of them." She said. "It was no problem, also what is your name?" Jake asked. "My name is Grey," Grey said twirling her hair with one hand sitting on the couch. "Well, Grey, would you like to join our team?" Jake asked, barely able to mask the hope that she would say yes. "Sure, I guess a team could be useful to save me from drunk warlocks," Grey said. "Cool, I'll have Charlie show you to a room that you can stay in." Jake said about to call Charlie. "Why don't you show me, you are the one who saved me, so why don't you show me around?" Grey asked. "Sure," Jake said, happy to spend more time with Grey. Jake showed Grey to her room, then excused himself to go to the medic-bay to get some more bandages. Grey's ghost Striker floated around her head, chanting, "He's in [i]love[/i] with you." "Ah shut it," Grey said, annoyed by her ghost. "Ok, fine, if you want me to transmit some of your stuff in here?" Asked Striker. "Sure," Grey said, happy with the change of subject, and even more happy that Striker hadn't noticed her blush when he said hat Jake was in love with her. This concludes chapter 6 Is #Grake going To happen? The world may never know.
