Chapter 13 - Suicide Squad (1/2)
Theoric moved on from the more well-known Asgardians and searched for ones that would require his help.
He stopped in front of a group of ragtag looking people sitting around prepping their gear, they didn't even wear nice new clean armor, it was full of wear and tear, still having scratch marks from past battles and on the dirtier looking men it even had bloodstains.
Raising an eyebrow he asked them- ”Who are you men, report!” They looked nothing like regular Asgardians who have a noble proud air about them.
These men looked like filth when compared, standing out among the rest he grew curious having never seen a group like this before.
One of the hairier men spit on the floor as if in disgust at the question as a sneer plastered his face, the others seemed to be a bit more docile as they simply glanced at him before returning to sharpening their weapons.
Theoric eyes twitched ready to start shouting before he was stopped by a man who was running over after seeing the exchange, noticing the golden sash he hoped to make good with top personnel.
”Sir, if I may be so bold, you shouldn't associate yourself with these men, they are the gutter trash of our society, only employed for suicide missions.”
Theoric fully intrigued didn't understand why he hadn't heard of such a group- ”And you are?”
The long dark browned haired man snapped his feet together in military fashion and yelled- ”I am captain Alrik, Sir!”
Theoric waved him to stop- ”You don't need to do that, I'm not exactly your superior... Tell me about these men, why are they like this?”
Alrik relaxed a little after hearing him answered- ”As I was saying, they are the unwanted men, causing problems wherever they go, so due to their unique disposition they have been gathered into one unit to better serve Asgard in what many consider to be suicide runs.”
Theoric frowned not liking the sound of men who others didn't like being thrown together and made to go on impossible missions, not caring if they lived or died.
”How did such a thing come about, who authorized this?” he asked
Alrik not noticing his frown answered enthusiastically- ”Well you see because of the difficulty with the war against the Frost Giants, commander Herlu came up with the great idea to throw all the unwanted into one unit, he even threw in some prisoners, and had them run the front lines to help preserve our real soldiers.”
”Alrik you bastard, if anyone's dirty it's you from all that a.s.s l.i.c.k.i.n.g you do,” he yelled.
Alrik was undeterred in front of Theoric looking at them with disdain as he yelled back- ”I look forward to seeing your corpse on the battlefield Vott and that goes double for you filthy prisoners, your lucky you've been shown such mercy being allowed to die for your betters.”
Vott now red with anger yelled- ”They aren't prisoners you swine, they were only in prison because of hearsay for petty crimes, you have no right to force them into fighting for their lives, for the very people who falsely accused them.”
Alrik ignored him- ”Don't concern yourself with these people sir, Vott is just mad because his wife left him for commander Herlu after realizing she made a terrible mistake.”
Vott furiously yelled- ”You've gone too far you bastard.” charging over, giant ax ready, he came for the kill, swinging with all he could aiming to chop down both Theoric and Alrik in one swing.
After everything Theoric heard, he knew some shady works were going on with the creation of this squad, but seeing Vott come charging over ready to chop him down along with Alrik, pissed him off.
Vott's men armed themselves as they stood by and watched, waiting to act at a moment's notice.
Theoric seeing the ax coming for him stepped in closer to Vott punching him straight in the face, hitting him off his feet as he started to fall to his back then he turned around and punched Alrik straight in the face for being the cause of it.
