City of Empire

March 15th, 1995

01:00 Hours (1:00 AM)

On a UH-93. Sonata now a Corporal was sitting on the side of the UH-93 riding on a small steel platform which has three soldiers on each side or in this case five with the pilot and co-pilot.

There was a second one which is parallel among them carrying another five SFG soldiers. They both landed in a parking lot where all five got all were the other five did the same.

There were two back doors where the Special Forces Group soldiers lockpicked the doors and they went in.

All of them heard terrorists talk about something but it sounded big and would cause a lot of deaths and damage. But they open fire on the terrorists who then went to go and defend themselves.

Phantom 1-2 went to clear the left and center half of the supermarket while Dagger 3-1 went to from the center to the right of the store.

"Vance get back!" said a female SFG Soldier, "Watch out!"

The female SFG soldier shoved an SFG soldier named "Vance"

There was a loud noise of a shelf falling over and all the stuff falling off. Sonata ran over to see what it was.

"Hey, you!" said "Vance", "Help me lift this shelf off of Corporal Parks!"

Sonata placed her rifle onto her back due to it's on a sling and helped Private First Class Vance.

"What's your name?" asked Sonata

Vance replied, "Private First Class Julia Vance. S/N 345351976. Who are you?"

"Corporal Sonata Jackson. S/N 457421976. Fifth SFG," said Sonata.

They lifted the shelf where Sonata was able to drag Cpl Park out but she and Julia carried her out and lay her down in the back parking lot.

Sonata then reequipped her X16 assault rifle and ran back into the two-story supermarket where she used the employee-only back hallway and went upstairs and kicked open the manager's office door.

Sonata then ran up to a terrorist who was trying to make a machine gun work and she struck him on the back of the head with her assault rifle with all of her might killing him,

Sonata then found some files on the desk which she first thought they were earnings or finance papers until closer inspection. They were plans of a terrorist attack coming up in late September in the city of Empire during a 5K run to raise money to fight cancer.

Not adding there's going to be another 5K run to raise awareness for Spina Bifida which the terrorist planned to hit for some reason but it isn't in it but she decided to take the documents anyway.

They caught the terrorist by surprise and didn't have much of a chance to get ready.

Ten minutes later.

Sonata walked over to Julia and asked if she was ok only for Julia to tell her that Corporal Park died from a cervical fracture where she hoped she would've survived as normal or at least a paraplegic but she died.

Sonata then gave her a cooldown hug to make her happy and all that.

PFC Julia was about to ask Sonata someting but she couldn't due to she doesn't know Sonata and it'll be strange for a stranger to ask another stranger about their sexual preference. But Sonata told her to ask her anything she wants and she won't get mad.

Julia then nervously asked Sonata's sexual preference so Sonata calmly told her that she's Bisexual, Asexual, and Pansexual. Julia told Sonata that she's a lesbian but had a hard time due to as a child well her parents are homophobic and her father was the town of Dillimore and pressed his homophobic views to keep the town "pure".

Julia also told Sonata that when she was six years old she took her father's service revolver (a S&W Model 17) and shot him six times in the back to defend her and her mother because Julia's mother is sapiosexual, and pansexual and he was going to beat his wife with an inch of her life for being different.

Sonata told Julia that her father sounds like a bastard only for Julia to say that he was but her stepfather was supportive when she stepped out of the closet they were supportive of her even Julia worked in her stepdad's diner and he didn't pay her minimum wage (a dollar and twenty five cents) he paid her as an employee and she made $8.68 a day.

"Sounds like your stepdad deeply cared for you," said Sonata

Julia replied, "Yup. Heck when I was in high school I brought home a girl well she was my age and I said she was my girlfriend. My stepdad treated me as if I was his biological child. He hardly did anything bad to me unless if I did something bad then he would take his leather belt to me. But well me and my girlfriend we were wild. Like one of us would be tied up and have sex. But one time she tied me up to a metalic rack and well it involved a whip."

"What happened to your girlfriend?" asked Sonata

Julia replied, "Well she also had a boyfriend she's like you and swung both ways. But she got pregnant and her parents yelled at her so she ran off and I haven't seen her since when we were fifteen. That was back in '91 and now she and I are 19. I wonder where she is though?"

"Well hope you and her can get back together," said Sonata

Julia replied, "I was going to ask if you want to be friends?"

"I think your sentence was going to be longer," said Sonata

Julia replied, "Yeah I was going to ask if you would like to be my girlfriend. But we'd just met,"

"I was going to say yes," said Sonata

Julia replied, "Wait? Really?"

"Yup. I'm serious." said Sonata
