"You know what? Enough is enough. I'm tired of these stupid damn skirmishes where nothing even happens and i have to babysit Caboose!" Tucker yelled in frustration to no one in particular. He was alone, crouched atop the ridge in Blood Gulch, assigned there by their de facto leader Church after he went off on a rant on Caboose for being "too afraid to fight". Tucker advanced towards a crack in the rock that seemed big enough to be a foot hold. He took a deep breath, contemplating his choice. What will Church and Caboose do without me? Then he told himself, "Who cares? It's not like they mattered anyway." With a leap only capable by a Spartan, he leapt from the foothold over the edge of the top of the rock face which had enclosed him for so long. His next sight was breath taking.
He saw below him a rich, bountiful paradise that looked even better than he had visualized a rain forest would look like. Birds of dozens of different colors and sizes darted in and out of the foliage and it was totally amazing. He was shattered from her reverie by an explosion which rattled his perch atop the gulch rock. He turned around to see Sheila far below, firing at him. Her mechanized voice carried through the canyon; "You cannot leave, you must stay." The ground he stood on was beginning to crack from the damaging blasts dealt by Sheila's massive main cannon. "This is what i was meant to do! You can't stop me, you antiquated long nine!" Another blast, and the ground under his feet began to crumble away. Within a split moment, Tucker made the biggest decision of his life so far: He leapt from the canyon top into the forest below.
