Krika: What's up guys? Welcome to Agent Tales! Now the world this story sets in is the Halo world, however it takes place in the world of Red vs. Blue, the famous Halo machinima created by RoosterTeeth. This follows Agent Rhode Island and Agent Nebraska, two Agents who have NEVER been introduced, so that makes them completely blank slates. Also both agents will be wearing Halo Reach era armor at first before changing from Halo 3, to Halo 4, to Halo 5 era armor. Enjoy! I do not own Halo or Red vs. Blue. Also this is to be considered an AU version of the original story.

On some backwater planet, a hidden facility ran by the secretive Project Freelancer was currently under siege. By who, you may ask? Well...let's take a look.

A Freelancer soldier was tossed over some railing, doing a Wilhelm scream in the process, another soldier looked over, "Wilhelm!"

Some sniper fire took out some more soldiers until a soldier walked out from behind a pillar with a sniper rifle, being the source of it. This soldier was a she and was wearing a Mk. V (B) helmet along with Security shoulder armor and an ODST chest plate, with the armor being a mix of dark green and bright red trim. This soldier was a rogue Freelancer Agent, codenamed Agent Rhode Island, "Hey Neb, how's it going on your end?"

A male voice spoke to the Agent on the comms, "Pretty good Rhode. But you do know we gotta get this done fast and get out just as fast, right?"

"Eh, don't sweat it. Pretty sure we'll-," a sniper shot sailed over Rhode's head, making her duck, "Son of a bitch!"

"What just happened?!" The guy on the comms shouted in concern.

"Some asshole thought he could just hit me in the head with a bullet!" Rhode Island said in anger as she got a grenade launcher from her back and fired it at where the sniper shot came from, the grenade exploding and a soldier came flying out of the spot, "Should've aimed better, bitch!"

"Okay Rhode, charges are set!" Neb, or rather Agent Nebraska, said on the comms.

"Nice! How much time?" Rhode Island asked.

"One minute," Nebraska said.

"...I'm sorry, what?" Rhode asked in disbelief.

"Yeah...also, incoming!" Nebraska said as he ran around a corner with some soldiers gaining on him. He was wearing a recon helmet with Operator shoulder armor with a Collar/Breacher chest armor, with his colors being steel with a white trim, holstered on his back was a DMR and in his hands were two jet packs.

"Oh come on!" Rhode Island shouted as she ran away from the soldiers with Nebraska, "I thought you said you wouldn't get spotted?!"

"I say a lot of things!" Nebraska shouted, handing her a jet pack and they put them on when they came outside of the facility and come up on a cliff and turn to the soldiers, who aimed their weapons at them.

"Alright, asshats! Drop your weapons and put your hands in the air!" One of the soldiers shouted at them.

Rhode Island just placed her sniper rifle and grenade launcher on her back and she and Nebraska slowly raised their hands before they fell backwards off the cliff, firing up their jetpacks and flying low.

"Shoot them!" A soldier said as they opened fire at them, but couldn't get any hits before a soldier interrupted them on the comms.

"Um...guys? There's a bomb…"

"What? Then get the bomb team in there!"

"Yeah, that's the thing...there's only six seconds…"

"Oh...son of a-" the soldier couldn't finish his sentence until the bomb went off, blowing up the entire facility.

*Unknown Location*

Rhode and Nebraska landed near a mass of brush and took their jet packs off before Nebraska moved some brush off, revealing a hidden compound that they went inside and tossed the jet packs into a storage area.

"Worst bomb planting ever, Neb," Rhode said, sitting on a chair and taking her helmet off, showing that she had short green, obviously dyed, hair with blue eyes, and she had a fair tan.

"Hey, I was being rushed. You were the one that tripped the alarm and sent the soldiers in a frenzy," Nebraska said and took his own helmet off, revealing that he had messy black hair with similarly colored black eyes.

"Hey, I needed to get this!" Rhode Island said, holding up a data unit, "This has stuff on a simulation base that the facility was watching"

"And that's important, why…?" Nebraska asked, looking skeptical.

Rhode plugged the drive into a computer and pulls up the files, "Apparently this base in particular got treated to some nice equipment. Of course most of it was experimental. But the files also said the sim troopers there somehow got their hands on an A.I."

"How'd they manage that?" Nebraska asked, looking a bit confused.

"Hell if I know. And I don't think they even know what they got yet. This file says that they got the A.I. about two days ago," Rhode Island responded, transferring the files to Nebraska, "Come on. We're heading over there and getting that A.I. While also looting the place of course"

"Seriously? Why don't you just wait and think of a plan for once?" Nebraska said to her.

Rhode put her helmet back on, "We need to get to that A.I. first Neb, or else someone else will"

"You just want to raid the place because you wanted an A.I. when we were still in Project Freelancer. Speaking of, why do we keep using our code names?" Nebraska said to her.

"I don't know. I grew to like the code names. And when have I ever said that I badly wanted an A.I.?" Rhode Island asked him.

Nebraska just stared at her for a moment.

*Flashback*

Rhode Island was looking at Theta, who of course was with North, "So...that's your A.I., huh?"

"Yeah. This is Theta," North said to her.

"So...what do I have to do to get one of my own?" Rhode asked, looking at the fellow agent.

"Uh...well, as far as I know, only the top-ranking agents are getting A.I."

"Well that's bullshit if you ask me. But, uh...can you try and...you know, help me out in that department?" Rhode asked.

Theta and North just looked at each other before looking back at her.

*Present*

"Well you wouldn't stop bothering York or North about it," Nebraska said to her as he got his helmet on.

"Hey, I just found it a bit unfair. You can't judge me for thinking that. I mean, you complained about not having access to highly explosive stuff," Rhode Island said to him, grabbing some ammo for her rifle and grenade launcher, but also grabs two magnums as well.

"I'm a goddamn demolitions expert! Plus I like blowing stuff up," Nebraska said to her, getting some ammo for his DMR and grabs an Assault Rifle.

"Which is exactly why they stripped you of your explosive privileges. You used to always try and solve your problems by blowing stuff up," Rhode Island said, opening the compound and they left via a Mongoose towards the simulation bases.

*About Two Hours Later*

Rhode Island and Nebraska stopped several meters from the bases and were standing on a hill, with Rhode using her rifle to scout the area.

"It...looks pretty empty to me," Rhode Island said, lowering her rifle.

"Maybe they already moved out. Let's split up. I'll check out the red bass while you check out the blue," Nebraska said, heading down towards the red base.

"Okay...blue base…" Rhode said to herself, heading towards the opposite base, she looked around, "Hello?! Anyone here?!" She waited for a moment but doesn't get a response, "Huh...guess not-" something hits her in the back of her head and she's knocked out cold.

*Red Base*

"Now...let's see…" Nebraska was looking over the base from the outside until he hears a gun cock behind him, "Oh great…"

"Alright. Turn around slowly," a male voice said to the Freelancer.

Nebraska turned around and was met by a red soldier who was wearing standard-issue armor, "Haven't seen someone like you around here. You a Blue spy or something?"

"No. I'm not a Blue soldier. I'm a special ops from Command," Nebraska lied to the soldier, with the Red lowering his weapon.

"Command, huh? I never gotten anything about them sending someone over," the soldier said.

"They sent me to investigate something here. Something you or the other team found. An A.I." Nebraska said to him.

"An A.I.? What do I look like, some kind of egg-head? We haven't seen any A.I. around here. But if you're wanting to find something, you can probably go see the blues. But I wouldn't actually recommend it. They've been pretty trigger-happy as of late. Like something has them spooked," the soldier said.

"Uh oh…" Nebraska said in worry.

*Blue Base*

"Oh...my head…" Rhode Island woke up, but found a few Blue soldiers surrounding her with their weapons aimed at them, and she found that she was unarmed, "Well...this doesn't look good"

"We recommend you keep quiet, prisoner, until our commanding officer gets back," one of the soldiers wearing a CQB helmet said.

"You guys are a bunch of cowards, you know that? And rude! Knocking a girl out when she's not looking? Seriously?" Rhode said to them, sounding a bit annoyed.

"Hey, bitch, how did you think we would react? A shady person from out of nowhere walks up to our base, and we decide to deal with it. Simple as that," a Blue wearing an E.V.A. helmet said.

Rhode Island looked at him, "Call me a bitch again, and I'll rip off what makes you a man. Capisce?"

The Blue soldier took a step back from her.

"Threatening my men? You got some balls, lady," a woman soldier wearing full Scout (Halo Reach era) armor walked up.

"And who are you?" Rhode Island asked.

"Commander Alexa. I lead the Blue Army forces here. And who the hell are you? Some kind of spy the Reds sent?" Alexa said to her.

"So this place isn't abandoned after all. No, I'm not from the Red Army or whatever. I'm from Command and came here looking for something. You wouldn't happen to know about an A.I. would you?" Rhode Island asked.

"I asked you a question. And I'm not going to ask you again," Alexa said to her.

"Fine. Special Agent Rhode Island," Rhode answered.

"The hell kind of name is Rhode Island?" A Blue wearing a Pilot helmet asked.

"It's a code name dumbass. I'm special ops," Rhode Island said back to the soldier.

"Just a question, geez," The Blue soldier said.

"Now, about that A.I. Do you know where it is?" Rhode asked Alexa directly.

"You must be mistaken if you think I'm just going to give you that information," Alexa said back to her.

"...You're one stubborn bitch, aren't you?" Rhode Island said before getting punched by the commander, "OW!"

*Red Base*

Nebraska was looking at Blue Base through a sniper scope, "Yeah...she hasn't come out of there…"

"You mean your friend that you came with, right? Why would she go over to Blue Base anyhow?" The red soldier from before asked him.

"We came here looking for an A.I. Talking to your team and Blue team was the best course of action in order to get any info. But...odds that she got captured is more than likely. I've known Rhode for years and I know how careless she can get," Nebraska said to the soldier.

"So...is Rhode her real name? Sounds like a tomboyish name for a woman," the soldier asked.

"What? No, her name isn't really Rhode. It's short for her code name, Rhode Island," Nebraska answered.

"So...what is her name?" The soldier asked, with Nebraska turning to look at him.

"I'm not telling you that"

"Why not?"

"Because she doesn't like me telling people her real name," Nebraska said.

"...Are you two a thing?" The Red asked.

"What? No! I...god man, what gave you that idea?" Nebraska said, sounding a bit uncomfortable.

"Well it's just that...you're really worried about her and...you know…"

"Alright, let's just drop this. So I'm just going to head over there and get her out, while we keep in touch via radio...uh...what's your name?" Nebraska asked the soldier.

"Name's George," George said to him.

"Okay George, you and the other Reds just stay here. I'll be back with her in a moment. And...if we're not here in about an hour, just...forget you ever saw us," Nebraska said before running towards Blue Base.

"He was nice," George said before walking back into his base.

*Blue Base*

Rhode was being watched by the CQB and E.V.A. soldiers, their weapons constantly being aimed at her.

"So...what do you look like under all that armor?" The CQB asked her.

Rhode looks at him, "Let me ask you something. Do you want to lose an arm?"

"...forget I asked"

"That's what I thought," Rhode Island said.

There was some gunfire outside, catching the attention of the two Blues, "Shit! Are we being attacked?!" The E.V.A. soldier shouted in alarm, "Stay here and watch her!"

The E.V.A. soldier ran out, with the CQB making the biggest mistake to take his eyes off of Rhode Island for a second since she managed to grab him and kneed his stomach, bringing him to his knees before delivering a hard punch to the head, knocking him out, "Shouldn't have done that"

Rhode looted a magnum and Battle Rifle off of him and carefully moves through the base, which was larger than she expected. But she just followed the gunfire and found three Blue soldiers shooting at someone...and that someone was Nebraska.

"Yeah! Get some!" A soldier wearing a Gungnir helmet said as he fired very accurately.

Rhode just shook her head and aimed her newly gained Battle Rifle and shot him in the head, following with shooting the two other Blues, "What the hell took you so long, Neb?"

"Hey, talking with Reds and getting some info on the A.I. Speaking of which, what have you found?" Nebraska asked her.

"Nothing. They knocked me out the second I got into their territory. And their commanding officer is a real bitch. At least her soldiers are a bunch of idiots," Rhode Island said to him.

"I wouldn't say that," Alexa said behind them, prompting them to turn around and see Alexa accompanied by eight other soldiers.

"Ah crap…" Rhode said before she and Nebraska took cover as the Blues opened fire.

"By the way, the Reds know nothing about an A.I." Nebraska said.

"Well apparently the Blues know something. They might be hiding it somewhere," Rhode Island said, returning fire and managing to kill one of the Blue soldiers before returning to cover.

"Well I doubt they're in a mood to tell us," Neb said.

"No shit, Sherlock!" Rhode Island shouted before throwing a grenade, which makes the Blues immediately take cover before she turned invisible and ran towards their end and grabs two of the soldiers and knocks their heads together harshly, knocking them out before using her magnum and rifle to take out two more, her cloak ending upon doing this before immediately getting shot in the shoulder.

"Rhode!" Nebraska shouted and ran over, using his AR to take down a soldier before switching to his DMR and shooting Alexa in the chest three times, not killing her but making her retreat to tend to her injuries, with the other Blues falling back.

"Son of a...bitch! Agh, this hurts!" Rhode Island shouted, putting a hand over her wound.

"Yeah...okay, just hang on," Nebraska placed a device on the ground before it opened up and released a green energy field that began healing Rhode.

"Thanks Neb. Hey, good thing you managed to get that healing unit to work without having to use an A.I." Rhode Island said to him, reloading her weapons, but still wincing a bit in pain.

"Yeah. But we still need to do the same thing for your cloak," Nebraska said, helping her up.

"Let's just go find this A.I." Rhode said before looking at a dead Blue soldier and takes his helmet before ripping something out, "Now let's see here…"

"You sure it's a good idea to go after it? They outnumber us ten to one," Nebraska said, expressing some worry.

"Yeah? Well, I just got schematics of the entire base. We can take the shortest route. Of course we can go by their armory and get some better weapons," Rhode Island said, tossing the machinery she got out the Blue soldier's helmet after transferring the files to both her and Nebraska.

"Okay then, but I'm taking point," Nebraska said, reloading his DMR.

"Gotcha," Rhod said and they went to the armory, not knowing that they were going to stir up a hornet's nest.

*Lower Part of Blue Base*

Alexa stumbled a bit into a room, where she went up to a terminal, "They're not getting this. Not at all"

"Ma'am, you need medical attention right now," one of the Blue soldiers with her said.

"I can worry about that later! We need to get this to you-know-who, and then we can get this all over with. No need to worry about a fake war, now do we? Right, Arkan?" Alexa said directly to the terminal and a small, cyan hologram popped up, the hologram looking like a male teenager with a hoodie and jeans.

"I guess you can say that, Commander. But your chances in succeeding in the exchange of me for your own personal freedom is slim to none at best," Arkan, an A.I., said to her.

"We'll see about that," Alexa said, transferring Arkan to a memory unit.

Krika: And that was the first chapter! And before you ask, no. Cali and Neb are not a couple. It's a sort of running gag for them, with people mistaking them as such. And what exactly does Alexa know about the mysterious A.I. Arkan? Stay tuned in Agent Tales! Reminder; This is an AU version of the RVB world.
