"I don't hate you." Sydney coughed a little to clear her throat. She was a little to weak to stand. Instead, she ran her hand the length of her legs and waiting for them to return feeling.

"Hang on." Steve rubbed her legs for her. "Tell me when you get feeling back."

(..Hrm. How the heck am I suppose to come back in to the RP?)

(go to the rebel base)
Sydney blushed a little. "There's really no need to do that."

"It's just to get your feeling back. I don't want to carry you everywhere." Steve assured.

"I can stand." Sydney got up long enough to fall.

"You sure?" Steve chuckled and helped her up.

"I'm fine." Sydney was about to lose balance again until she quickly grabbed on to Steve. "Okay, maybe I'm not."

"It's okay. I'm here to help." Steve grabbed her arm. "You need to sit."

Sydney sat down. "Steve?"

"Yeah?" Steve asked.

Nana and Sea waited for a moment to slip away from their hiding spot, and head to the rebel base, looking for Sydney, and perhaps even Steve. "I don't understand it. Why would someone kill a child in this war? What did a kid do wrong?" "..I'm only 14, Sea." Nana replied, as they ran.

"Yeah? What is it Sydney?" Steve looked at her patiently.

"Thanks for saving me, but um... why did you?" Sydney knew why but she waas curious what he would say.

"Cause I wouldn't leave someone I care about behind ever." Steve admitted.

Sydney was a little stunned. She stuttered a little. "R...really?"

"Really." Steve said with seriousness.

Sydney attempted to stand once again, not to show him she was fine, but to hug him.

Nana stopped for a moment, "..Hang on.. Where the heck was the rebel base?" she asked, not knowing where it was. Sea facepalmed, and dragged her towards it. "We don't have time to stop! They'll kill us if we stop!"

Sydney fell almost instantaneously. She was too weak to do much except for fall and whimper. Her seemed more liek a collaspe than a fall, but it hurt about the same. "Ow.."

Steve picked her up. "Stay here. Rest. These people will take care of you." Steve said as he looked around outside. He strapped on a haz-mat suit and went out into the base courtyard.

Sydney reached out as an indication to stop, but she gave up figuring Steve wouldn't turn around. Sydney choked back the word "stay" and looked sadly at the ground.

"Sarg. How many people are lost?" "43." "That's not good. Rally the troops. Leave a couple people to aid Sydney. Ready my fighter squadron. Time for some retaliation bombing."

Sydney stayed where she was supposed to. Tears formed little rivulets, because she was scared Steve wasn't going to come back.

"Men. Get to your bombers." Steve ordered as he strapped on his helmet. He entered his bomber. "Call in before we hit the skies."

Nana and Sea continued to try to run to the Rebel base, and came in contact with the gates.. And a rebel officer. He stared at them, "Who're you?!" he asked, angered, "Soldier scum!" he kicked at Sea, "You don't even need to say anything! The look on her face says it all!" he pointed to Nana, who seemed confused.

"Alpha Bravo squadron. Hit the skies." Radioed in the tower. "Roger." Said Steve as he began to speed up. He was off the ground. "Okay. Radio in guys." "Alpha. Over." "Bravo. Over." "Okay. Let's get to bombing." Said Steve.

The rebel radioed Steve, "Sir! Two suspecious people are at the gates! One little-ish girl, and a guy with red hair! What should I do?"

"Ask for their names." Steve said as he flew west over the enemy's base.

"Yessir!" The rebel replied, before turning to Nana and Sea, "Names?" he asked, calmly. "Arthur "Sea" Sealando, and Nana." Sea replied, using his proper name for once. "Arthur.." Nana whispered, repeating his name. The rebel nodded, and radioed Steve again, "Sir! One is called Arthur Sealando, the other is called Nana! Does that mean anything to you?"

Sydney roughly stood up. She was still dizzy but not enough to fall. Sydney started to randomly mutter some jumbled math equation. "square root of -6 is always imaginary." She remembered the sequence pattern implanted on the chip Steve referred to. Sydney created the chip based on the imaginary number system. Every other chip in existance was based off the real number system, making every other chip wrong. She did it for protection of secrets.

"They're allowed in. Let them in." Steve ordered as he began dropping the bombs on the bunkers.

"Yessir!" the rebel replied, before allowing Sea and Nana into the base. "I have allowed them in, Sir!"

Steve dropped the poison containers down on their base.

Sea kicked the rebel away from the radio, and grabbed it. "Steve! What the hell are you doing!?" he shouted.

Nana ran on in, to try to find Sydney. "Sydney? Where are you?" she called, every so often, trying to see if she could get a reply.

"Finishing the fight." Steve said as a mortar shell hit his wing. "I'm going down!" Steve grabbed his parachute and he jumped.

Sydney heard Nana and wandered out of the room. "Nana?" Her vision was still a tad blurry. She hadn't quite gotten together. Sydney started groping the wall for stability.

"Oh damn!" Steve said. "Bail! Bail guys!" Steve landed with a thud on the ground. He grabbed his P-30 and MP5.

"Sydney!" the young girl spotted her, and ran over.

Sea cursed out loud, "Damnit Steve.."

"Can you read me?" Steve yelled into his beaten up radio. Steve put his hands above his head when some soldiers arrived.

"Nana." Sydney stood up better regaining focus. "Where's Steve and Sea?" Sydney assumed she would know

"We know who you are. Get up." Said a rebel pilot. "Oh thank god it's you guys." Said Steve as he rose and and shook their hands.

"Sea's talking to Steve on the radio.. I think.." Nana replied, shrugging.

"Oh I thought you were the soldiers." Steve said as he looked at the plane slam into the fortress.

"Alright then." Sydney stood up completely and started to head out in search of Steve.

"Let's get moving we don't have much time!" Steve said as he ran through the rubble.

Nana followed Sydney, "I'll come too! Just in case.."

"Come on." As Sydney walked out into the blazen rubble, she started to tear lightly. She was scared Steve was killed in the attack or gotten captured. Sydney then turned to Nana. "It's not safe. I have to go alone."

Steve crawled through the rubble with his squad. His leg had shrapnel in it.

Sydney kept walking into the aftermath of the attack turned over any loose piece of metal. She started to worry when she couldn't find Steve.

Steve wobbled along. He arrived at a building. "His compound is in there." Steve said as he rummaged around with some metal. "There's a lot of men in there. So we'll need to create some suits. Like these." Steve said as he held up a piece of metal. Steve began bandaging up his leg as the 2 other men worked on suits.

Sydney felt like she had been walking forever. Suddenly she eard some racket not far in the distance. Sydney sprinted to the sound.

Steve put on his suit and held up his MP5. "Boys. Let's go!" Steve said as he walked towards the bunkers.

Sydney ran less than a mile before she slowed to a walked. She was close to breaking down. THe base wasn't even in sight anymore.

Gunfire instantly hit the suits but they held. They walked in and tried to get to the top to stop the general. "I see him. He's on the roof waiting for a chopper." Yelled Alpha. "Alright let's go." Said Steve as they made their way onto the roof. Instantly General Ulao shot Alpha and Bravo in the heads. "See you later Steve." Said Ulao as he entered the chopper.

Sydney grabbed an enemy weapon laying on the ground and headed in the direction of the base. She was tired and scared but stayed strong in hopes she would find Steve.

Steve grabbed on the the bars at the bottom the suit weighed the helocopter down. Steve managed to take bits of the suit off. Then he threw out the pilot and co-pilot. "Time to end this fight!" Steve said as he rammed the helocopter into the ground.

Sydney didn't notice some soldiers behind her. As soon as they grabbed her she started to scream in Arabic although she didn't know what half the words were. the soldiers carried her to the rebel base, where they layed her down and put a gun to her head.

Steve was in a daze and saw Gen. Ulao limping towards him. They both saw a gun as Steve crawled and Ulao limped. Steve grabbed it but then Ulao stepped on his hand. Steve kicked the gun off the helipad then tackled Ulao. Steve began to punch him and took the helicopter cable and wrapped it around his neck. Steve ran to the controls and flew the battle damaged helicopter away with Ulao on the cable. Clearly Ulao was dead.

One of soldier said with a sly grin, "We captured the illusive Sydney Andell. What should we do?" The other man retorted harshly "How does SHE want to die?"

The helicopters motors gave out and the copter came crashing down. Not only was Steve injured already from his plane going down, he also survived 2 helicopter crashes. He saw some figures in the distance. 2 were picking up someone. Steve crawled over to help the person struggling. As he crawled closer he withdrew his gun. He began to see the figures. He aimed for a shot.

"Can you just shoot me? Wait shoot me after I write my will." Sydney figured she was going to die any ways

He made sure he could fire 2 fast shots. He loaded. And fired. Steve crawled closer to inspect what he did. He knew the Military would crumble because their last General was killed. He crawled within a few metres of where the 1 figure was.

The soldiers were shot dead. Sydney brushed herself off went walking toward where the shots were fired.

Steve stopped because the pain in the leg was almost too much. He laid down in the middle of the desert and waited to die.

Sydney came up to Steve who was looking for death. "Hey you'll be alright."

Steve didn't reply. His leg was loosing too much blood. He might die if someone acted quickly.

Sydney took off her jacket and pressed down to stop the bleeding. She knew he could die. Sydney tied the sleeves of her jacket as tightly as she could and picked him up to get Steve to an actual doctor.

Steve was dead on the outside. His leg was bleeding furiously and his breath was weak.

Sydney didn't give up. She kept walking until a small shack showed up. Quickly she went in and layed Steve down to look for anything that could help. She found some guaze and a sewing kit which was all she needed

Steve opened his eyes. He was in an old, small, abandoned shack. He didn't know how he got here. He didn't like the shack either. It had a strange eerie feeling in it. Steve closed his eyes again from the pain.

Sydney started to prepare the sewing kit. She knew how to sew up his leg however she had possessed actual medical equipment. "You'll be okay." Sydney nervously stuck the needle in his leg.

Steve was completely out. He couldn't stay like this for much longer.

Sydney sewed up his leg and wrapped the stitches in guaze.

Steve woke up. He yelled at the pain he felt.

"Calm down." Sydney knew anything could happen. She didn't want to think about what ifs.

"AH!" Steve stood up in panic.

"That's the totally opposite of calm." Sydney stood up and put her hand on his shoulder. "I'm glad your alright.

"AH!" Steve began to try and run. He was in too much pain.

Sydney ran after him in a hurry."STEVE!!" She kept calling his name hoping he would stop.

Steve fell with his face right in the sand. Steve passed out again.

Sydney came up on Steve and picked him up. "Where to bring him?"

Steve laid in her arms motionless. He woke up for a split second. "Save me..."

Sydney figured she could pull enough strings at the local hospital. She carried him to the hospital.

Steve laid half dead again. He waited to be saved.

Sydney got him to the hospital. "Steve Smith. Hurry!" Sydney was shouting orders at the nurses.

(My names not Steve Smith) Steve's breath was faint.

(I know but aren't you kind of wanted?) Sydney led the nurses to Steve and yelled, "Hurry!!"

(Not really.) Steve laid there unconcious. He was sure he might die.

(My b) The nurses wheeled Steve to the ER to perform surgery. Sydney waited out in the waiting room. She prayed to the God she lost faith in.

Steve was sedated. He felt so relaxed.

One of the nurses went out to get Sydney. Sydney walked in and witness them prepping for surgery

Steve laid flat. He was sleeping very deeply.

the doctors unlaced Sydney's makeshift stitches to professionally fix them

Steve's leg was getting worked on. He had to get blood pumped into him.

Sydney looked in a slighty digust at the manner. She hated seeing Steve llike this.

Steve was pushed to his room when the operation was finished.

Sydney went into Steve's room to check on him. She was a tad scared to see how he was.

Steve was on a small bed. He had blood being pumped into him. Water and air were also being pumped.

Sydney sat in a small chair in the corner waiting for him to wake up. She didn't want to see him like this, but she wanted to be there for the recovery.
