The sun emerged from beneath the horizon as it rose over the Outcast territory signaling that it was now another morning of Dante?s Abyss.
Sleeping in his tent still along with the rest of the Company was Cell Jr. who decided to sleep in a bit and let his men rest as they earned it. Besides, he wanted to delay a bit to see if he would receive any word from his commanding officer, Seventeen. CJ had an idea of what he would like to do from here on out but he needed to confirm it with 17 before doing so, and most likely, he would disallow for whatever it is Cell Junior has in store for this unit.
The commotion of the encampment started to pick up as men were awakening on their own curious as to why they weren?t awakened by their commanding officers horn. It wasn?t until the little blue monster emerged from his tent that it came clear to the other soldiers that he himself had slept in and didn?t even want to get out of bed himself.
CJ looked to the men nearby him who were interacting with one another, ?Men,? said the little officer to grab their attention as those who heard him call, strolled up to him. ?What?s up boss?? asked one of the soldiers, ?Something wrong?? another questioned.
Cell Jr. smiled as he looked at the men, ?No nothing?s wrong, just thought I?d give you guys some extended rest.? He hoped the men bought that excuse as it was semi-true. He did want to give his men a rest, but he also wanted to buy time since he was still uncertain on his decision as to what he should do today. ?I need a favor,? request CJ of the men nearby. The men replied immediately, ?Anything for you boss;? Cell Junior kept the cheery mood up as he told them the favor, ?Good, I need you guys to rally the men up and bring them to the base of the tower so I can make an announcement about today.? ?Right away boos,? the men said as they ran off in all different directions to spread the word. The little blue monster let a giant sigh as he made his way around his tent and headed for Oblivion Tower. ?What should I say?? mumbled CJ.
~*~*~*~
The time had come, the unit was at the base of the tower as they waited for their leader to show himself, they were unsure of what he was going to say, they assumed it would be the usually we are the build nonsense which the group was growing ill over.
However their leader had another plan, one he was still deciding on. ?Here we go,? he said as he stepped onto the balcony. The commotion of the crowd came to an abrupt end as their commanding officer emerged onto one of the many balconies of Oblivion Tower.
The freckled leader waited a second before he spoke as he took in a deep breath, ?I have some good news, and some bad news? It might both be bad news, I?m not sure how you guys will take to it.? CJ paused as the mob below started to gossip between one another about what the news is.
?We won?t be building anything today,? the crowd cheered interrupting CJ?s second half of the line as he was about to announce the so-called bad news. CJ started to speak over the uproar of his unit, ??we will be however, moving from here and heading south. We are to leave as soon as possible.?
The crowd was mixed on it but they were pleased more so at not having to build anything that a simple hike would be cakewalk compared to building all day. Slowly the congregation dispersed into the encampment as tents started to fall down and some disappearing as they packed up.
~*~*~*~
After giving his goodbyes to the men at Oblivion and Lethe, CJ took his unit and started to head south as Corey shouldn?t be too far away and that he should be able to get news from him about 17 and why he hasn?t received word from anyone.
