Disclaimer- Despite my best efforts (doing nothing) I still do not own Red vs. Blue! Rooster Teeth does.
A/N- Really sorry about the wait. Also I have someone call Tex, Agent Texas in this chapter. This is not a mistake, I know that's not her real code but in Out of Mind that's what Delta calls her so I'm sticking with that. It's easier then calling her Nevada and everyone getting confused. Remember to read and review!
Chapter Four: Meetings
-
Carolina was outside the Blue base. She couldn't see anyone and assumed they were all inside. From her information she knew that most of the soldiers in the canyon weren't that motivated, in words lazy. She easily snuck into the base and found herself what looked like a kitchen.
She was just about to start looking in the rest of the rooms when Zeta (inside her helmet) warned her of two people coming into the room. She turned around just in time to see two soldiers walk into the room.
-
Walking through the door Tucker stopped in his tracks. "Hey who are you?"
Carolina quickly pulled up her gun. "Don't move."
Caboose recognized the voice and exclaimed suddenly. "You're the guy I traded the bullets with! Hey why aren't you blue anymore?"
Tucker whirled towards Caboose. "What did you say?"
"I said—" Caboose started but was interrupted by Carolina. "I said don't move." She pointed her gun at Caboose. "Back up against the wall and don't say anything or I will not hesitate to shoot you."
"You are a mean person." Caboose sulked but moved towards the wall.
"Yah," Tucker replied then a thought struck him. "Hey you're a girl! Want to go out with me?"
Without saying anything Carolina fired a shot above Tuckers head. He backed up quickly. "I'll take that as a no."
"Okay now listen closely. I'm looking for Tex and you're going to tell me where she is now!"
"How the hell should we know?" Tucker protested. "And who are you anyway? Why should we tell you anything?"
"Yah!" Caboose agreed. "Are you an alien?"
Ignoring Caboose, Carolina muttered to herself. "Damn."
-
At that minute Church came walking through the door. "What was that shot? Don't tell me Caboose found a bullet and used it to shoot himself…." He trailed off as he saw the soldier in the room. "Okay….who are you and what the hell are you doing in our base?"
"Yah and pointing guns at me and Tucker!" Caboose called out. Church rolled his eyes. "Nah actually I don't really care about that part. By the way if you feel like killing someone you could do us all a favor and kill the Red's. That would make our job much less stressful. But seriously, who are you and what do you want?"
"I'm looking for Tex."
"Well look no further." Tex called out as she walked into the room. "Who's looking for me and why should I care?" She stopped in her tracks when she came into the room. "Carolina is that you?"
"Yes. Though someone…" Carolina glared at Church. "doesn't seem to have quite a good memory as you."
"Hey, it's been along time…wait what are you doing here Carolina?"
"Okay." Tucker said looking around the room. "Someone has to tell me what's going on!"
-
Church sighed. "Fine. This is Carolina she was in the same program Tex was in. She's one of Tex's friends."
"Tex has friends?"
Tex turned to Carolina. "Can I borrow your gun?"
"One condition." Carolina replied warily. "You don't still have….Omega do you?"
"No, he's gone. But why were you looking for me Carolina? Last I heard was that you were still working with York."
"We were. He was off on a job when I was contacted for some information." Turning to Tucker and Caboose, Carolina exclaimed for their benefit. "I'm an information gatherer. If you want to know something I can always find out….for a price. This time however the person looking for information was someone I never wanted to see again….Wyoming."
Tex's head jerked up. "What! What did he want?"
"Well he wanted to know where you were. When I told him to drop dead…well he didn't take it to well."
"Wait a second." Tucker broke in. "If he wanted to know where Tex was why didn't he look for her himself?"
"Because he's a lazy bastard." Church replied.
"Anyway." Carolina continued. "When I said no he captured York. He said that if I didn't help him capture Tex he'd kill York. I need your help Tex."
"I'm in." Tex replied. "Where's Wyoming now?"
"In his ship, a little ways from here. He has York on the ship as well. Oh and guess who else is here."
"Who?"
"Ohio."
"Oh my god! Why are idiots attracted to this planet?" Church exclaimed. He'd spent plenty of time with Tex when she was in the Special Forces and he knew how annoying Ohio could be.
Just then Zeta popped up. "Carolina. The tracking device you put on agent Ohio indicates that she has entered the Red Base."
Carolina sighed. "Oh well Zeta I guess she's their problem now."
"Wait a second." Tex exclaimed moving back slightly. "Why do you still have your AI? I thought everyone had theirs removed."
"Yes, well most of them were. However some of the AI's didn't malfunction. York still has Delta and I still have Zeta. A few others still have theirs but not many."
"How do you know they won't turn mean?" Caboose spoke up.
Zeta turned towards him. "It is against our programming."
"Like that stopped the other AI's." Church muttered.
You couldn't see but you could tell Zeta was glaring at Church.
"Anyway." Tex said breaking the silence. I need the plans to the ship do you have them?"
"Yes, Zeta if you will…" A hologram appeared and they began to study the plans.
-- --- -- --- -- ---
At the Red base Ohio was looking for her brother.
"Oh Dexter! I know you're here somewhere!" She was walking into the kitchen when she heard something behind her. She turned to find Simmons. "Hi!"
"Oh it's you. What are you doing back here?"
"I'm looking for Dexter. Have you seen him?"
"Oh he's hiding in the pantry there." Simmons pointed to a door a couple feet away from her.
"Thanks a lot!" Grif protested. When Ohio opened the door he fell onto the floor. "I thought I told you to go away!"
"Oh come on Dexter! You don't really mean that."
"Oh course not. I'm only repeating it over and over because I have nothing else to do."
Completely missing the sarcasm Ohio asked. "How come you guys aren't fighting the Blues then?"
"Because we don't have any bullets." Simmons said.
"Oh yah … I forgot me and Carolina took them…" Ohio trailed off.
Simmons stared at Ohio. "I'm…I'm going to get Sarge now. Don't let her leave Grif."
"Oh great." Grif moaned as his sister started talking happily again.
-- -- -- -- -- --
Once the entire Red team was assembled in the kitchen Sarge started to question Ohio. "Who are you working for?"
"What are you talking about?" Ohio asked.
"You took our bullets therefore you must be working with some scumbags to kill us. It's the Blues isn't it? "
"I have no idea what you're talking about. You guys are crazy!"
Grif sighed, if he wanted this to end anytime soon he knew he'd have to step in. He interrupted both Sarge and Ohio. "Okay I'm only going to do this once." Sarge and Ohio were still arguing but Simmons and Donut looked over at Grif.
"What you're actually going to do some work?" Simmons scoffed.
"Actually yes. Now watch and learn how you get my sister to do things. "Hey sis!"
Ohio turned her head. "Yah Dexter?"
"You know what would be something fun?" Grif was talking in a falsely cheery voice that was slightly scary. "Why don't we go find the bullets? It'll be like an adventure!"
"Okay!" Ohio perked up. "They're in a cave, come on!" She started to run out of the base as the team stared at Grif. He shrugged. "What can I say? She's insane. Now hurry up, I'm not doing that again."
With a shrug Sarge walked out of the base and the rest of the team followed.
-- -- --- --- ----
After completely running around in a circle for about half an hour the Red team made it to the mouth of the cave.
"Wasn't that fun Dexter!" Ohio said, she had been talking non-stop the entire time and the only one who had continued to respond to her was Donut.
"Man that was awesome!" Donut exclaimed. "I love adventures!"
"Just show us the bullets." Sarge interrupted what was sure to be another rambling spell.
"They're over here." Ohio ran into the cave. "I got them…."
The Reds sighed and followed her in.
"Here they are! Hey the box's are empty! Hey guys where'd you go?"
Hearing footsteps the Red team had quickly hid behind a large section of rocks.
"Ohio who on earth are you talking to?" A British accent rung through the cave as Wyoming walked in.
"There's no one here." Ohio looked around the cave.
"I can see that. Why aren't you with Carolina?"
"…..she didn't need me?"
Wyoming sighed. "That I can believe."
"So can I have it back now?" Ohio asked all serious now. "Please. I got us here and I think better with him so I'll stop asking so many questions. Please!"
-
"What is she talking about?" Donut whispered from behind the rock.
"I have no idea." Simmons whispered back. "Grif?"
Before Grif could say anything though Sarge interrupted. "Quiet you two. He'll hear us."
-
Luckily Wyoming didn't hear them as he was being annoyed by Ohio's pleading.
"Please….please….please……."
"Oh for the love of….fine here you go." Wyoming handed Ohio a small device.
"Awesome!" Ohio exclaimed as she quickly but the device into a part on her helmet. Once she did a small hologram popped up.
"Kappa!" Ohio exclaimed happily. "I missed you."
"Hello Ohio. I'm happy to see you as well. I hope my absence didn't cause you any problems."
"Not really, that idiot Wyoming made me fly him somewhere but aside from that…."
She was caught off by Wyoming. "Well now the two of you are reunited will you please go wait on the ship. I'm sure Carolina will be back soon."
"Okay!"
As Wyoming left the cave Kappa turned to ask Ohio. "Are you really helping Agent Wyoming capture Agent Texas?"
"Not really. I just flew us here and I'm flying us off again to wherever he's taking her. Oh...I guess that means I am. Dang, I don't want to help Wyoming, Kappa!"
-
Just then the Red's came out of their hiding spot.
"Is he gone?" Donut asked looking around.
"Yah." Grif replied. "Sis what is that?" He pointed at Kappa.
" He's my AI! Kappa meet my brother Dexter."
"Nice to meet you."
"What a second." Simmons interrupted. "I thought that those things were evil."
"Some are, Kappa isn't."
"Oh well….now what?"
"It's simple." Sarge replied. "We have to stage a daring raid on Wyoming's ship and steal back the bullets. Then we'll beat the Blues in a glorious battle!"
"Not that that doesn't sound exciting." Grif spoke up sarcastically. "But don't you think we should just get command to send us more bullets?"
"Nonsense. This way is particularly more dangerous. We may even lose a man. So Gif get ready!" Grif rolled his eyes as Sarge continued. "You, Ohio will lead us there so we can reclaim our bullets."
"Ohio this sounds a little dangerous." Kappa spoke up worriedly.
"Well what's the worst thing that could happen?"
20 MINUTES LATER
"Well this sucks." Grif spoke up. The Reds were all in jail cells on the ship. "I hate you Donut."
"What did I do?"
"Oh I don't know maybe going up and asking Wyoming's guard for directions!!"
"Well…I didn't know it was him."
Grif sighed. Why of all people was he stuck with Donut?
"I wonder where Sarge and Simmons are." Donut asked looked around. Simmons, Sarge and Ohio were taken somewhere else when they were put in the cell.
"Probably in the jail cell on the other side of the ship." A voice spoke up from the darkness.
"Who's there?" Donut exclaimed looking around.
"Name's York." The soldier came into the light. His armor was a tan colour and he had a slight limp. "Welcome to the most boring place in the world."
"Nah, I think we just left there." Grif countered.
York laughed. "Well then welcome to the second most boring place. How did you guys end up here?"
"We were trying to sneak onto the ship to steal back our bullets when Mr. Bright-idea here asked Wyoming for directions."
"Oh smooth move."
"Hey!" Donut exclaimed. "I didn't mean to."
"Well you're in now. Here's a tip, don't go kicking the door. The bars are electrocuted. I found that out the hard way." He rubbed his leg.
"I'll keep that in mind." Grif said as he sat down on the floor. "Well what are we going to do now?"
"Well Wyoming made a deal with a friend of mine, Carolina. If she captures Tex he'll let me go."
"Like that'll work." Grif scoffed. "That mean chick's so tough it's scary. She's such a bitch."
"Hey!" York said moving forwards. "Watch what you say. Tex is a friend of mine." The sudden movement hurt and he clutched his leg. At that moment an AI popped up.
"York, I thought I told you that continual movement of your leg would injure it even more."
"Yes Dee." York sighed as he sat back down. "I'll be more careful. Hopefully Tex and Carolina will be here soon."
"You actually think this Carolina could capture Tex?" Donut asked.
York replied cryptically. "Maybe." He knew Carolina would get Tex to help her try to break him out. He didn't want to say anything though incase Wyoming overheard. He settled back in the cell and went back to trying to think of escape plans.
