Tuesday, November 4th, around 6:00 A.M. at the hideout
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E1vCHgCMN
Green finally reached the hideout, where it was supposedly located, and searched for any door of sorts they could enter through. When the ex-infiltrator found what felt like a door covered completely with moss, they would knock on the door rapidly while keeping watch for any Infiltrators nearby. Their banging on the door created enough noise to alert both Blue and Red who'd still been cuddling with each other as they slept soundly. Both jolted up as the loud noise made them panic, Red was double freaked out when she turned to see her and Blue both holding each other close— causing her to fall off the bed as she lost her balance.

Luckily Blue was quick to pull her back, but it put them in an awkward position as they stared at each other for a small period of time before Blue fully made sure she was back on the bed before speaking.
"Sorry... I didn't mean to freak you out, especially when you already were. I'll go and check who it is, so please... stay here."
His voice was soft and caring but also tired as it was relatively early in the morning.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeoLt3WYqI
They silently darted for the door — the knocks continued — there was a knot in his stomach as worry began to reach his neck. But all of that left Blue when he heard a familiar voice say "Deviation...!" He was in luck that Red's information of a secret word between her and Green came in handy at this time. After his quick sigh of relief, Blue unlocked the door and opened it to see that it was who he thought— Green, who was also having a moment of relief as they entered the hideout with Blue immediately locking the door after them.

"Thanks dude, sorry that I'm here at an early hour. If I came later, I would have had a hell of a time evading all the Infiltrators."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssClIyqKgC
"I mean you did scare us awake... but it's whatever, I know it's unsafe for the both of you out there now. Speaking of that, I was thinking you guys get some sort of disguise to keep both of your identities hidden to the best of our abilities. Y'know, cover the face, different clothes, hair, whatever."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKsNbCSuAv
"Ohh yeahh, I actually brought some neat clothes for you guys to make this hideout life nicer for the both of you."
Green then pulled out a complete set of clothes for Blue and Red, each having a nice jacket in case the weather becomes cold.
"Red she told me you basically have no other clothes than uhhh... what you have on right now. And I felt Red wouldn't want to stay in that uniform anymore, cause neither do I. Also I found both of you these like... pants that can become shorts, they're pretty sick, see?"
They demonstrated how the jeans worked, a hidden zipper which circled the lower middle of each leg.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ooIhGvxRk
"Waitt, I think I had a pair of those before, thanks dude."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m8nUXVyW7
"Yeah, I got your guys back no matter what. Ya got that?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHZGB7dwAZ
"Haha, yeah..."
A slight smirk formed on Blue's face as he wondered if they'd keep their word, but knowing this is Red's lifelong friend tells him they're being truthful. If Blue ever felt the need to put his journal entries into the hands of someone else, it would be Green. Something about them, something tells Blue that they'll keep them safe. But he has to think if that's truly what he wants to do, in case his journal ever gets stolen so maybe one day they'll resurface... and change the minds of many, many people.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6u91iHiKM
"Soo... I was thinking I hang out here for an hour or so before I go back, is that alright with you man?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPypnnAXFaU
"I'm fine with you crashing out here anytime! And I'm guessing Red would like that, which is a plus for me."
Blue then signalled Green to follow, both heading back to his room with the clothes in hand.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr5DvRw1rH
Opening the door, the two would see Red sitting in the same spot while worryingly fiddling with the old, dirty blanket covering most of the bed.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk41aIecNA
"O-oh, hey Green..."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYEiyYhPDo
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare the both of ya. I was just in a hurry, didn't want any infiltrators to see me. Anyways, I got you and Blue a set of clothes, yours I know will fit you... but I had to guess on Blues when going through the supplies we had down at the cape."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgDSqtHAs9
"Thanks... I've been wanting to get out of this uniform already."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZqYwh4D0Q
"Wait, what if you guys burn both of yours? I did that with my work clothes, kind of helped me start off on a new leaf, forget what I was forced into."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6fT6LUMKS
"Sure man, sounds cool... but where?
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxhv0j1fSk
"Maybe the Tree won't mind if we burn them under it."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAM6UQlqQv
"The Tree...? Red didn't you tell me about this, is he lying for real?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCHeCSpEro
"Nope, he's not. Last night it actually spoke to me."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Hh0u8peQ
"Hmm, alright... is it that tree out there?"
Green said while pointing to the tree outside of the window above a desk.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2v8osF7EW
"Yup, I'll wait for you and Red out there while you guys change. You just have to go through the window, that's all."
Blue said as they headed to the window, opening it and sliding through seamlessly while Green and Red turned away from each other to give a sort of privacy as they changed, Green putting on the clothes they chose for their self.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGeNF1qd5B
After both finished they would as well slide through the open window and one would say that Green also thought of the Tree to be majestical but also whimsical.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FlhWHmUsq
They were quick to notice the Blue + Red, with a heart surrounding it, carved into the bark of the Tree.
"Soo... what's that for?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PfrRokqhn
"It creates a connection with the Tree, basically."
Blue said, which was true as it was a trade of some kind; both him and Red gained the power to do such a daunting task of trying to start a war against Hemlock and just disobeying Hemlock in general. This came natural to Blue, and possibly Green, but they needed every help they could get— especially Red. She needed this in order to get back to her true glory.
"Ah, me and Red talked about starting a war against Hemlock— tryna kill the General at least."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0qTjusoKF
"Man you're crazy for that, and she agreed with you? Damn. I ain't gonna judge any more though; I wanna help for sure, dude!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDwnYMAlkz
"Cool, I know three people doesn't sound like much when up against all Infiltrators and so on... but I think we got this."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTiSlmevJu
"For sure dude, for sure..."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRGW1T33Oc
Next thing was the burning of the Infiltrator uniforms. Both Green and Red laid their respective, old uniforms on the grassy forest floor, in front of the tree, as Blue asked a simple question.
"Tree, will you remove the burden of the Infiltrator from these two, forced to listen to petty lies, as we burn these wretched clothes under your branches?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51cPCya8Oe
With a large shift in the wind, it replied.
"Your question will be granted and both of these strong souls standing beside you will be cut off from whatever remains with their ties between themselves and their past as an Infiltrator, once and for all."
Then it fell silent.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTBTSc4oQo
Blue took out his lighter to give to Red as Green took out theirs; Red did not own one as she's never smoked unless offered one by someone else, that being if she happens to accept it. Then the two lit their old attire on fire, silently — but blissfully — watching them engulf in the flames before completely turning to a crisp which signaled them to put the fire out.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNWbYzAGjc
A few seconds of pure silence passed before Red spoke her thoughts out with a soft tone.
"This feels nice, finally being free and out of those uncomfy clothes. I'm happy we can forget about it now, right Green?"
Her smile towards them was one of tiredness and hurt mentally by her past but under that was the feeling of freedom soon overcoming those thoughts and feelings.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcCvPuKQgH
"Hell yeah, of course we're both gonna forget about all that crap!"
Their voice was shushed yet excited as the three needed to keep a low profile out in the forest. Green then ruffled the top of Red's hair, messing it all up but she didn't mind at all— she laughed a little; she was used to it.
"What'd you say about a hair cut to finalise your disguise?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ltJvss0Y3
"I... would actually like that, but we don't have the proper stuff to do so?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahOp9oE4M1
"Well maybe Blue could cut your hair with his knife, just a thought...!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUfrpUKlG2
The lovers looked at each other before Blue spoke to her.
"I can try to... is that alright with you though?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKvAvysShg
"Yeah, I don't mind— it'd probably look cooler done that way."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi0lWTHwEH
Her response got a chuckle out of Blue which made her face lighten a bit from the sight.
"Alright... I say we do it out here?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSuW5x3EXh
She simply nodded and Blue went to sit down with his back against the tree, this signalling her to sit between Blue's now spread apart legs to give them the ability to cut her hair with ease. Green would watch while up against the wooden walls of the hideout, right under the window they exited through. The new fugitive could not lie— It was a cute moment between both of their friends.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71B1e1ajr1
10 or so minutes later, something like 6:20 A.M.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXepPmv45Bz
"Alrightt, I think I finished with your hair. I have a mirror in the bathroom you can look at to see how it turned out."
Blue did not wait for a reply, now making his way to the dingy bathroom in the hideout in order to show her where it's located. She was able to sense that he wanted her to follow behind them as Green moved to the side, then standing up and going back in as well.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGfrngtQqB
Now outside the bathroom, Blue would hold the door open for her who then entered it and gently shut the door behind her. In general the bathroom was extremely cramped and grimy, especially the dirty mirror— the whole room looked untouched for years just like about every other part of the hideout. She tried to wipe it clean, but the stains remained so Red didn't persist in cleaning something that was stuck in a state of filth. Luckily enough she could still see herself fairly well in the mirror, surprisingly happy with the turn out since Blue used his knife to cut it. There was this sort of charm to the cut— it being created by Blue only amplifying that for her.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDkqD5GGxL
She exited the bathroom and there stood Blue, having a deep moment of thinking about something, but he was quick to notice her reappearing.
"Soo... what do you think of it? I probably could have done better if I had more professional tools.."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXbo3K2trP
Red couldn't help but adore Blue by his words, and she was very happy with her hair now.
"It's great, I love how it turned out— and the use of a knife gave it a nice look..."
Then her arms wrapped around Blue's body with her head lying to the side of his head as she gave him a warm embrace that combated the cold feeling of the hideout.
"Thanks so much for this, and for existing..."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYZ8Xieh7t
Blue was shocked most definitely, and there was a moment that felt as if tears would start falling down his face— but they held them in. The taller boy reciprocated the hug with the girl who finally left her past behind. Completely.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoaZ5njJPE
Green happened to be watching from the side, up against the wall a few back from Blue. They looked glad about the sweet moment between Blue and Red. Although they did not speak on it, wanting to not interrupt their short moment of embrace. But when the two lovers let go of each other, Green would speak up finally.
"Before it's my time to head out, how about we talk some more on that war against Hemlock? I'm guessing we could plan for a week or so before doing anything serious, stay low— ya know? And most important be prepared."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCN9uQL8RX
When Blue heard Green's voice he would let go of his embrace with Red, now giving their green haired friend most of his attention.
"Sure dude, that sounds like a pretty solid starting point for this. You guys still have your guns, right? And bullets too."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaxYOaTTqh
"The both of us only used our guns during training, we denied going on any mission that required to eliminate someone or a group of people. So we definitely have enough bullets."
Red stated with Green nodding in agreement as what she said is factual for the both of them; the two were never for the extreme brutality against the residents of Hemlock which was considered the norm for Infiltrators.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUKT3TjhpY
"Yeah I honestly don't even know a solid reason why they kept us... maybe to torture us, knowing that we disliked doing the job that'd been forced upon us. Real insane shit these higher ups do, man."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn4ZJyxUyB
"Damn... I can relate; back at my factory job the boss there would hit me and other crazier shit, just me— like he knew the kind of person I truly was... Alright that's enough about the shitty jobs we used to have, let's figure out how we can tackle these ass holes."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n7neQtqbS
The three fugitives went back into Blue's room to discuss the best routes to go on, delve into the weakness the industries have, and the order in which they attempt at conquering this challenge. This consisted of ideas like silently killing as much as they could before it becomes a war, and so on. Then for information... both Red and Green gave some inside info like the best times to act and kind of what to look out for in an encounter with an infiltrator or multiple. And for the general, General Grievous... it was suspected he has a weakness of being full in himself, too full that he doubted anyone — but the Dictator — to be stronger than him.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjSuiCNqju
Everyone had been too intimidated by the government to act out like how Blue and Red plan to possibly do when the time is just right. This meant that inside of the Southern Nation there would only be minor trouble to annihilate, meanwhile the problem had usually utilised the naval base over by Conium to destroy outer enemies. Many tried to escape — to get over the wall — when this mess first came to be, but that ultimately failed and ended with many gun shots to their bodies or whatever was a Infiltrators or the generals fancy at the time of killing those people.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZis5jii58
And in however many days, they will put a stop to their planning and do the first act to their best abilities with the hope to destroy all Deceivers and Infiltrators alike. And most importantly, General Grievous.
