In Red vs Blue, The Second Coming...
Six months ago, there were talks the fearsome Agent Zero had returned. This came after the wake of the revelation of Project Freelancer and the defeat of the Meta at the hands of the Red and Blue simulation troopers. Soon after, The Meta was soon confirmed to be alive, in the employ of Agent Alabama, right hand man to Agent Zero himself. And once again, Humanity was thrown in chaos, a mere year and a half after the deadly Covenant-Human war.
The Red and Blue Simulation Troopers were allied with the remaining loyal Freelancers, Washington, Illinois, and Utah. There, they tracked Zero back to his fortress, employing the mentally-detached Agent Indiana in the process. However, the loyal Freelancers were brainwashed by Zero, and employed to attacked the Reds and Blues, along with the mysterious Agent Florida, who murdured Private Caboose in cold blood. The Reds, Blues, and The Freelancers clashed, and Florida was revealed to be the former de facto leader of Blue Team, Leonard Church. Another ex-Freelancer, Tex, was in combat with Zero, who was teleported away with Zero.
There, they charged into Zero's fortress. One by one, they remained behind to fight off rouge Freelancers, and in the end, only Church and the corpse of Caboose arrived in Zero's gigantic center chamber. Tex was still in combat with Zero, but Church assisted her, telling her to look after Caboose's body. Church, however, stood no chance against Zero's AI powers, which even without would overpower Church easily.
The tide changed when Tex placed Caboose on a metal table, and pulled a switch in the hopes it would assist Church. It did, in some fashion. It brought Caboose's lifeless corpse back to life, and as such, Caboose assisted Church in battle. Still, thought, Zero dominated both of them, and they were about to be killed by Zero when a blast shattered the air. The other Red and Blue soliders, along with the wounded and un-brainwashed Freelancers, minus Alabama and The Meta. The Red and Blues soliders attacked Zero, managing to wound him in some manner. Just before it looked like the end, Alabama teleported in and saved his leader, also dragging the traitor Meta with him, who tried to flee.
It looked like all was saved, but alas, it was not. Zero had unleashed a massive army of Freelancer like beings from his fortress, who began to march across the planet, beginning to capture cities. The Reds, Blues, and Freelancers were resuced by a group of ODSTs that scanned the area before abandoning it to Zero's army.
The Reds and Blues were then summoned to the space-station-city The Cairo, and were met by Lord Hood. In a awe-inspiring award ceremony, many of the team members were awarded medals, and promoted in rank. It could have been said to be a fantastic peace-time event, if not for the bloody battles raging on the desecrated planet below.
And far away, Zero was torturing his current prisoner.

War-Class Ship: The Terror of Power
Zero stared out the viewscreen of his ship. Soon, all that he could see would be his. Once he conquered the planet, and enslaved Humanity, he would attack the Aliens, and then they would bow to him. Prehaps he could do it faster if his...prisoner, would co-operate.
"My fearful, pitiful friend, why did you run away? You were defeated by that Sergeants pathetic machine! How could the man who has killed dozens of top-class soliders been murdered by a simple machine!" He spoke, his voice growing louder and deadlier.
A growl was all that came from the cage that held the man. Zero shook his head, tutting.
"It's a shame, that fact you can't talk. Did Sigma do somthing to your brain? Nu would never do somthing like that to me..." The Meta reached out of the cage, screams coming, trying to rip apart Zero.
"Good, you have fire in you. I will give you one last chance, which is all you deserve..."
Six months later, The Reds and the Blues were called back into action.
Red vs Blue, Zero Chances.
