Me: Finally! I've been waiting for this part.
West: Which part? The one where—
Me: NO SPOILERS!
West: Ok...Anonymous Fanz doesn't own anything except for Virge, North, PSI, and RHO. His bro owns mass.
...
West's POV
"You still have PSI?" I asked to north.
"Yeah. He logged off hours ago. Something about saving power." He answered.
"Give him to me. And my shield." I said.
"I haven't even used the sheild yet?!" North complained.
"You have your own!" I yelled.
"Yeah, and that thing uses a lot of power." He said.
"Give me back all of my gear." I said.
"Fine." He detached the healing and HL shield from his armor. I took both. What the fuck! Oh. Hi West.
"Just open the temple and you can leave. We'll take what we want; no one has to get hurt." I heard the inssurrectionist leader yell.
"I my expeirence shows your probably not going to let us live." I yelled.
...
Virge's POV
"Would you be quiet? See, you're gonna get us in trouble."
"Trouble? Fuck that."
"Shut up. okay, see, you broke that. See, that was your fault."
"That, that was already broken."
"Okay, just stop moving around, hold still!"
"Relax. We just—" I said.
"Get your hands off me! Fucking douche!"
"I'm sorry, Church!"
"Church!?" Wait, how long have they been there.
"Who the fuck are these guys?"
"Who brought the floating bowling ball? Where's the thumbhole?"
"The Moniter was already here. I just activated it. I just put Epsilon into it." I explained
"Wait, you put church in there." West asked.
"Church? Your telling me that thing is Church."
"Not church. Just the guy he was created from's memories. I did put some of the Alpha's memories in." I explained.
"He means the church you knew. He knew the original church, the one with a life from before the cannon." West said. "The one you knew has copies of his memories, and was sent disguised as the real Leonard L. Church, so that no one would pay enough attention to him, to realize he's the alpha if they were to go after him. He also was disguised so well, even he didn't realize he was an AI."
"The answer to who these are, They are the guys from the canyon."
"To bad Derek isn't here. He saw both teams more than anyone." North said.
"Wait, I thought he was Derek."
"No. That's Sarge." North said.
"I thought Sarge was the darker one."
"That's racist." I said.
"That was Simmons." North said.
"Who's racist to robots." I said.
"Now who's the yellow one?"
"I'm not yellow, I'm orange!"
"Yeah, then how'd you know who I was talking about?"
"He's a flame Orangish yellow. I had a crayon with the exact colors name as a kid.I forgot what it was."
"Crayons? Who the uses those!? I swear they stopped making them decades ago." North asked.
"The crayons were REALLY old. I was one when I had them, so I don't remember much about them." I said.
"How come he remembers us, but not who we are?"
"It was created to the best of my knowledge and caboose's memory. My knowledge is limited to most of what West told me. He has a good knowledge of your history, but I can't tell you guys apart. I only got to know Caboose." I said.
"Not exactly." West said.
"What the hell does that mean?" North asked.
"You noticed how Virge always shows up after Derek goes missing?" West asked.
"Yeah." Grif answered.
"And Derek only shows up when Virge is looking for him."
"Yeah..." Grif repeated slower.
"I noticed a lot of similarities between Derek and Virge." she said.
...
West's POV
"I don't see what you mean." Sarge said.
"Derek came to your team as a corporal. He naturally ended up becoming second in command." I said. "So, That's means I'm in charge, since I'm a Corporal."
"Yeah. Simmons really didn't like that." Grif said.
"He also knew project freelancer gear very well. Gear, which Derek helped build." I said. "S. PI. DE. R.!" "It's a sticky grenade. It doesn't come off."
"He was some kind of mechanic, or engineer, or something." Epsilon said
"He also had issues with Tex at sidewinder. Around the same time Church thought he did." "Speaking of sidewinder, I remember entering that base to capture flag, and leaving alone."
"But I thought Church was never there." North said
"When he spoke about it, Tex compared it to one of Virge's Flashbacks. "This is starting to sound like one of Virge's flashbacks." "I saw only red for Three days! That's how long it took for command to find me." "For three days, I couldn't see anything but blood on my helmet for the next three days."
"Oh." North replied.
"He uses the same jokes." "That's what she said!" "That's racist."
"Why?" North asked.
"It's psychologically healthy." He said.
"Derek, and Virge are the same person." I finally said.
"Bullshit." Grif said.
"I know my cousin better than anyone. didn't any of you notice he was different after Omalley left?"
"He seemed pretty much the same." Sarge said.
"He never showed any of these traits after having Omalley. Virge's Mind is highly unstable. It usually causes aggressive bursts when triggered. Having Omalley must have made it less stable, creating an alternative personality based on his disguise." I said.
"I don't doubt that." Derek said. "I haven't been to the darker corners of my mind in a while. It's scary in there. IT'S WHERE I SEND THE STUFF I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER!"
"Derek also lost a lot of memory. Because they weren't preserved in the new personality." I said.
"You mean, Derek was a freelancer in disguise!" Sarge yelled.
"Sarge! You worked with him at Sidewinder. When he REALLY was there. When he was a private. Didn't he seem a little too experienced."
"He mentioned he was in the war." Sarge answered.
"Just like Derek was, when the real sidewinder encounter happened." I said.
"Derek also mentioned several times that he was certain being given command of anything was a bad idea." Sarge said.
"Which is what Virge said when he was given command of his squad, as the only surviving member." I said.
"Yeah. That makes sense." Caboose said.
"Even Caboose gets it." I said.
"And. Their all Idiots." North asked.
"Who's the real idiot? The idiot, or the idiot who fights it?"
"What, dude? In either scenario, you're still an idiot."
"Huh, I would expect you to say something like that."
"Wait, I think he's right."
"Shut up, Grif! I always thought your armor was yellow too! Matches your personality."
"Hey! You shouldn't be mean to people who work for you! He just wants to be your friend!"
"No one tries to do that but you!"
"And Simmons. I saw him in the holo chamber. Creepy." North added.
"You raped a rock?" Virge asked. What? I should have been listening.
"His sister's name is A Rock?"
"I thought that was Doc who did that." Virge said.
"Everybody stop!"
"I AM YELLING ABOUT THINGS, okay I guess we're done now."
"All right, listen guys. I might not remember everything right now, but it will come back to me, okay? I can feel it. But I do know this: if we don't work together, and destroy this weapon, those guys outside are gonna kill a lot of people, and we can't let that happen. So just for a moment, lets set aside our differences and get to work solving this problem, together. Being in charge is a tough task, but I'm a born leader. So if you follow me, I know I can get us through this. Are you with me?"
"The last time I listened to a Leonard Church, I ended up helping him do things I didn't want him to. The time before that, he took something from me I don't want to talk abou— Do you know you flying away?" Virge said.
"Uh, yeah', I don't seem to have full control over my body yet. But that doesn't invalidate anything I said! I'm still the leader! Fuck! Okay, I'll be right back! No one else takes the leader position while I'm gone!"
"I'm taking it before you leave." North said. "If you have a problem with that, fly over here and stop me."
