Infantry Tactics [Wednesday Second Period]

This week Max was not distracted. And he was going to pretend that last week had never happened. For many, many, many reasons.

The far-too-familiar pile of gear was waiting as everyone arrived, but before anyone could grab anything, Max began speaking. "Today we're doing things a bit different. This being your final examination, you're going to execute a mission as a team. And, as with many missions of this sort, I'm going to be providing you with the parameters before you decide what to take." This also meant they'd be skipping the run today, but that was okay. Max was sure they'd get a workout without it.

Max made a small gesture and a patch of ground writhed and reshaped itself into a model of the surrounding terrain. The main features were a tall, rocky set of cliffs with an equally rocky beach below them. "We are here," he indicated a spot that was some distance from the top of the cliff. "Scouts indicate that the enemy is going to attempt to land troops here," he indicated a spot on the beach. "Your objective is to keep them from doing so by whatever means necessary. Or, failing that, to keep those troops from making it off the beach. If you can at least keep them bottled up for a few hours, reinforcements are on their way to secure this area."

"Since you are all such good students I'm sure you don't have any questions about this assignment. Which is good because for the purposes of this exercise I am not here." He stepped off to the side and waved at the pile of gear.

There were cupcakes (http://justgrits.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/cupcakes.jpg) next to the gear. No one was near them, and there was no indication where they'd come from, but they were there all the same.

That comment is a lie!

Momoko was standing near the cupcakes. Momoko was staring at the cupcakes. Momoko was rather used to the island providing free food. Momoko was picking up a cupcake.

The cupcake exploded and sent even more colour onto her and her clothes.

"Ah? That was so mean! Who would do something like that to cake?! And at CHRISTMAS!" Though now she wondered if there was a way to use the cupcakes on the battlefield.

THE CUPCAKE IS A LIE!

Sadly, the cupcakes couldn't answer Momoko's question. They were just sweet little innocent cupcakes, and wouldn't she like to pick up another one, to see if it would happen again...?

As if hearing some far off voice requesting a second chance, Momoko considered the collection of colourful confectioneries. Would all of them explode, or was it like the jellybeans in DADA class, and only some did? At the worst, she'd be covered in cake again, right?

She hesitated but finally reached for one with only a few sprinkles on top.
