[b][u][color=f49ac2][center][h2]Cpl. Donovan “The Friendly” Valentine[/h2][/center][/color][/u][/b] [u][b]Just a few days before these events...[/b][/u] Donovan had been waiting for his supervisor to say something. Believing he was about to be promoted even further. Donovan had been doing so well, and he hadn't heard from his parents in a little while maybe this was a surprise for him. His ego was reaching the clouds at that moment. The smile on his face, couldn't be contained. But he immediately felt it crashed down, as he observed his supervisor's blank expression turned into his 'I have bad news' face. When he finally spoke up to explain why he had been sent here. Donovan got up off his chair and slammed his fists down violently against the desk he was sitting in front of causing the stack of papers on his leading supervisor's desk to scatter all around.[color=f49ac2] “Demoted!? What gives you the right to put me back to corporal status?”[/color] Donovan snapped in a raised and enraged tone of voice. The supervisor remained calm and just looked at him with a serious stare. [color=f7976a]“We were sent an anonymous message from one of our soldiers that you slept with another solider last night and it's our law that even if the report is unfounded. We must demote both accused of anything higher than corporal status, until further evaluation. We can't have anyone leading a large group who can't be trusted to follow our code. I'm sorry Donovan, it isn't permanent but you will have to accept the higher ups decision. Do I make myself clear?”[/color] The supervisor stated bluntly. Donovan just listened covering his facial reaction that would have been a scowl across his face as he calmed himself down quickly. Donovan just nodded his head at him in the eyes. [color=f49ac2]“Crystal clear, sir...”[/color] Donovan stated nearly spitting in disgust. Donovan left in a hurry, as soon as he was dismissed as he knew exactly who he had to punish for this. As his supervisor let out a huge relieved sigh as if he was wary of anyone that wasn't above him it would have been Valentine, but the supervisor told himself, that he would get over it fast. Donovan did not get over it, he was still furious. After a long telephone conversation with his parents on his private line. He immediately walked toward another soldier’s bunker around all of their lunch breaks, knowing she'd be there and be alone. He burst through the door seeing a girl wearing her solider gear, just without her helmet on. With short black hair, her back was to him as he quickly approached her. She turned hearing someone behind her, believing it was simply one of her bunkmates as he reached at her and grabbed her neck. Donovan pushed her to the edge of her bunker, gripping her throat tightly. As she started to act startled as she was struggling to get him to stop. Donovan didn't let her have enough air to scream out. [color=f49ac2]“You got me demoted with your fat mouth...but don't think that you have gotten the better of me. I already called me parents. You'll be out of the military before the night. No one pisses me off.”[/color] Donovan stated to her in a cold tone ignoring what she was gasping out and he was finished with her and lets go of her throat she starts to cough out to catch her breath, Donovan left her bunker, before she even had time to protest that it wasn't her that said a word. The rest of day went peacefully, he spent it sipping a glass of wine sitting and reading an old history book eating his lunch just waiting for the inevitable. Sure enough, he awoke to learn the next day, that female solider was no longer in their group. [u][b]Back to the present...[/b][/u] Donovan was looking up at the night sky seeing literal fire shoot across it. As the sounds of explosion and blasting of gunfire was getting all to familiar to him that he was able to drown it out. He was remaining quite calm and could notice that some of the others were a little on edge. Focusing on looking around at all his fellow soldiers. [color=f49ac2]“Copy that, Captain!”[/color] Donovan replied loud and clearly. He instantly turned to several others nearby him and did a hand motion expressing to move out. As Donovan headed to the left flank with the other soldiers he ordered following closely behind him. Donovan quickly arrived at his destination with the other soldiers. He could tell by the very word of a 'giant orge' made others fearful of what would happen. But behind his helmet was covering a excited grin, he couldn't wait to shoot and kill it. This new world they had entered, he didn't know what was there. But he didn't want to rest until it all surrendered or was no longer moving. Making sure he and everyone else he ordered arrived on location first. As he pulled out his M-54A1 Battle Rifle, fully prepared. He looked at Farraday who was ordered to also come to the left flank with him and the troops he brought along. [color=f49ac2]“Have we confirmed sighting yet?”[/color] Donovan called out as he had yet to see what was reported.
