RVB Arrancars Meta Arc

Watch the Flank!

The screen fades to inside Red Base at Valhalla. Dordoni is speaking Spanish while Findor is barricading the entrances with crates.

Findor: Keep watching your motion tracker. These guys can turn invisible.

Dordoni: Is that where he went?

To the Meta outside Red Base, with his cloaking ability malfunctioning. He then growls, returns to inside Red Base.

Findor: Whoa! Did you hear that?

Dordoni: I have something on my motion tracker.

Findor: (frightened) Yeah, it was loud.

Dordoni: No, you idiot! Over there!

Dordoni and Findor ready their weapons for the Meta on the entrance in front of them, looking at each other and reloading at the same time. Instead, Charlotte comes around the corner.

Charlotte: Hey guys. 'Sup?

Findor: Charlotte?

Dordoni: Didn't you say this guy could change color?

Charlotte: I just finished cleaning up Blue Base. What's going on over here?

Dordoni: I think we should shoot him just to be safe.

Findor: Chrlotte, that guy attacked me! I ran out of the base screaming. Why didn't you help me?

Charlotte: You guys seemed like you knew each other. I thought you were just catching up.

Findor: He was firing grenades at me!

Charlotte: Yeah, so, I thought that was an inside joke between the two of you.

Findor: What!? What kind of joke would that be?

Charlotte: Well, how do I know? I've been gone a long time, Findor.

Findor: What!?

Charlotte: In fact, it was clear that I didn't know the guy, so shame on you for not introducing us. And quite frankly, I found the whole thing a bit rude!

Findor: ... WHAAAAAAAT!?

Charlotte: Rude.

Dordoni: Seriously, we could just bury him out back. We wouldn't even have to tell anybody.

To Sandtrap inside the temple, where Rey, Nirgge and Baraggan are looking at Epsilon-Skullak (inside the monitor body) beside Di-Roy.

Rey: Skullak? Your telling me that thing is Skullak.

Di-Roy: Well, not exactly. See, um, technically, uh, this thing is, uh, just a memory of Skullak. Um, his name is Epsilon.

Rey: Epsa-whatsawhat?

Epsilon-Skullak: Me, dipshit!

Di-Roy: Uh, yeah, see, he's a resident memory of the guy that Skullak was based on, so he's kind of like, remembering himself. Yeah, Findor can explain, yeah, much better than I can, probably.

Nirgge: Sounds like I have another reason to be glad Findor isn't here.

Epsilon-Skullak: Wait, I thought he was Findor? (looks at Baraggan)

Di-Roy: He's Sarge. Sa-a-aarggee-e.

Epsilon-Skullak: I'm confused, not deaf, you idiot! Now who's the yellow one? (looks at Nirgge)

Nirgge: I'm not yellow, I'm orange!

Epsilon-Skullak: Yeah, then how'd you know who I was talking about?

Rey: How come he remembers us, but not who we are?

Nirgge: Why does everyone think I'm yellow!? Seriously!? Didn't anybody have a box of crayons when they were a kid?

Di-Roy: Oh, it will come back to him. See, I've been telling him stories, about all of us. (To Rey for a few seconds then back to Di-Roy) Well, most of us.

Baraggan: Is that what you've been trying to do all this time? Rebuild your buddy?

Di-Roy: Yes... no... maybe... which will make you less mad?

Rey: So the only stuff he knows about us is what you told him? That's scary on a lot of levels, dude.

Epsilon-Skullak: Why?

Rey: Oh, why? Okay, quick quiz. Who am I?

Epsilon-Skullak: You're, Captain Ukitake right? Your dead. (turns to Di-Roy) I've been meaning to ask you about that part. Is he like a zombie?

Rey: Uh-huh, and who is he? (flashes to Nirgge then to Epsilon-Skullak)

Epsilon-Skullak: He's Nirgge, which is spelled with one "g's".

Nirgge: Goddammit! Okay, now that's another thing!

Epsilon-Skullak: Di-Roy was very specific about that one "g".

Rey: Yeah, and what about the red guy?

Epsilon-Skullak: Well, if he's not Findor, then I guess he's Sarge. (flashes to Baraggan then back to Epsilon-Skullak) That would make him the gruf and regimented leader of the Red Team.

Baraggan: ... That actually seems pretty-

Rey: Just, give him one more second.

Epsilon-Skullak: Which would make him also the captain of their pirate ship.

Rey: There it is.

Di-Roy: I am a good story teller.

Rey: How are you gonna tell stories? You can't even read stories.

Di-Roy: I can read!

Rey: Di-Roy is the only guy I know of who had an illustrated field manual. He's a moron.

Di-Roy: Well, it helps when the stories have pictures. Duh!

Rey: For the first two months I worked with him, he thought you held grenades over your head, while they shot arrows at the enemy.

Di-Roy: That diagram could have been a lot more specific.

Baraggan: Heh, you're lucky. As a recruit, Nirgge didn't even know what a grenade was! I called it a pineapple, and he tried to swallow it.

Nirgge: Yeah, well it still tasted better than those MRE's you serve us.

Baraggan: Nirgge! Show some respect! Do you know how many men died to develop those meals?

Nirgge: I can tell you exactly how many: everybody who ever tasted one!

Rey: At least he doesn't kill everyone who suits up for your team.

Di-Roy: Oh, yeah, I don't think I really did that.

Rey: Then who did?

Di-Roy: Okay, stick with me on this, right. What if Skullak travelled back in time using Wyoming's special ability power-

Rey: Aw, shut up, that's fucking retarded.

Nirgge: Argh, you guys are idiots!

Di-Roy: What!? What about you guys?

Baraggan: Who's the real idiot? The idiot, or the idiot who fights it?

Rey: What, dude? In either scenario, you're still an idiot.

Baraggan: Huh, I would expect you to say something like that.

Nirgge: Wait, I think he's right.

Baraggan: Shut up, Nirgge! I always thought your armor was yellow too! Matches your personallity.

Di-Roy: Hey! You shouldn't be mean to people who work for you! He just wants to be your friend!

Rey: No one tries to do that but you!

Baraggan: I think you're all a bunch of idiots and I'm gonna fight every one of ya!

Baraggan, Nirgge and Rey start arguing and swearing at each other (Including this exchange:

Nirgge: You had sex with a rock!

Rey: Your sister's name is A Rock?)

Then Epsilon-Skullak talks.

Epsilon-Skullak: Everybody stop!

Di-Roy: I AM YELLING ABOUT THINGS, okay I guess we're done now.

Epsilon-Skullak: 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.

At this point, Epsilon-Skullak is floating away, unaware of it, while the others watch.

Epsilon-Skullak: 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?

Nirgge: Where are you going?

Epsilon-Skullak: 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! (Epsilon-Skullak floats out of sight) Okay, I'll be right back! No one else takes the leader position while I'm gone!

Di-Roy: Okay, bye!

Baraggan: Yeah, see ya later, Winston Skullhill!
