Takes place after KH3 and during S7
After using his Keyblade to open a portal to look for Kairi, Sora finds himself waking up in a desert, no clue how he got there.
"Huh? This must be where Kairi is." Sora deduces. "But what world is? Agrobah?" He questions to himself. Sora looks around to see no recognizable landmarks or anything. Just sand. Until, off in the distance he something green approaching. It kinda looked like some kinda cat but upon it getting closer, Sora recognizes it as some sort of vehichle.
In said vehichle There are three individuals all with some kinda futuristic armour. One in red, one in orange, and one in blue though the blue one had a more simplistic looking helmet. The vehicle gets closer and closer until it stops right beside Sora.
"Excuse me, do you know where I am?" He asks the people in the vehicle.
"On the deset. Obviously." The orange one remarks.
"He means where exactly he is Grif!" The red one says towards the orange one.
"Oh." Grif gasps in understanding before turning back to Sora. "I have no idea."
"Since your here, have you seen another blue bastared around here?" The red one asks.
"You mean like your blue armoured friend?" Sora asks him.
"Yes! Except with our helmets and a bit of green mixed with that blue to make some sorta... discussing aquamarine or something." He replies.
"Uh no I haven't" Sora replies.
"Do you know a place where we can get some water? My sargent here decided it would be a good idea to come here with out some." Grif asks.
"Uh... no I don't." Sora replies.
"What are you even doing out here anyway?" Grif asks him.
"I uh..." Even though he wasn't present Sora could here Donald in the back of his mind shouting ORDER! "I'm not sure, I'm kinda lost."
"Wanna come with us? You might be of help to us finding our missing blue." The sargent suggests.
"Help? How? He's a kid!" Grif exclaims.
"He'll probably be more useful then you." The sargent retorts.
"Oh well, we already got a kid in the back." Grif says.
"Wait you found someone else here?!" Sora says with excitment.
"Uh no. I was talking about the blue back there." Grif points back towards the blue mounting the back turret.
"Whuh?" He says, clear that he was day dreaming a second ago.
"Oh." Sora says, disappointed.
"Anyway, I'm Sarge. The fatass beside me is Grif. Whays your name?" Sarge asks.
"Im Sora." Sora replies.
"Alright, hop in the back with Caboose. When you'ved helpped us, we'll help you get unlost." Sarge says.
"Alright." Sora says getting in the back. Its then that Caboose takes notice of Soras presence.
"Oh, hello." He says as the vehicle begins driving again. "Im Caboose. Who are you?" He asks
"Im Sora. Nice to meet you Caboose." Sora says "Can you tell me whats going on?"
"Oh, we're going to look for my friend Tucker because he says he need help with something." Caboose explains.
"So your going to go help your friend, huh. Thats kinda like something I'm doing." Sora says, though says the last part quietly.
"Oh, are we friends now?" Caboose asks.
"Sure, we're friends." Sora determindly says to him.
"Neat." Is all Caboose can say.
After a few hours of driving Grif leaps the car over a sand hill.
"Yeeeeee haaaaaawww!" Sarge shouts as they're up in the air. A second in a half later they land. "I told you not to take jumps bigger than my ye haws. Makes me look bad."
Sora, now fully awoken from the small nap he just took, looks ahead to see some strange temple like structure in a small vally. "Maybe this is progress?" He says to himself.
"Okay, this looks like it." Grif says.
"Be careful Grif, we don't want to get spotted." Sarge says. Just then an alarm sounds. With someone on a loud speaker announces, "Halt, do not come any further."
"I think we've been spotted." Caboose says.
"Punch it, Grif!" Sarge exclaims.
"Shouldn't we listen to him?" Sora suggests.
"Wha? No! We don't know anything about him. For all we know he could.."
Before Sarge can continue he is downed out by the speaker guy saying "And you have entered a mine field."
"Mine field?" Sora says to himself, unfamiliar with the concept.
"Yes a mind field, you idiot." The speaker guy says.
"A your field?" Caboose asks "Who says this is your field, you can't own a field."
"Caboose not hos field. A mine field." Grif says to him.
"You know, the native american culture said the Earth dosen't belong to us. We belong to it."
"What?" Sora ask, clearly confused on everything.
"Guys, he means explosives!" Grif exclaims.
"Ohhhhh." Caboose, Sarge, and Sora all chorus at the same time.
Everyone cautiously gets out of the car to avoid setting off any mines. Sarge and Caboose to the passenger side of the car and Grif and Sora to the driver side. The person on the speaker seems to switch with some one else because the voice is diffrent when he talks to them.
"Do not, under any circumstances move. You've entered an active mind field." He announces.
"Does thinking count as moving?" Caboose asks. "Because if it does I think I might have mov- Ah I just did it again!"
"Shut up Caboose!" Grif yells.
"Well I don't want to get exploded." Caboose retorts
"Don't worry Caboose. I don't think thinking counts as moving." Sora tells him. Caboose then gives a relived sigh.
"Thats good."
"How do we get out of here?" Sarge asks.
"We will guide you out." Speaker person assures.
"Great! We'll just wait for you to come out here then!" Sarge yells.
"What? No! Fuck that! Listen, we're not coming out there, alright? Hang tight, we're gonna pull up the schematics. Don't move." He responds.
"Grif! What were you thinking driving us straight in to a mine field!" Sarge barks.
"Sarge I don't think he-" Sora starts.
"Stay out of this Sora! This argument is for red team members only." Sarge cuts Sora off.
"Huh?" Sora says, confused by red team.
"We'll explain later." Grif says before turning back to Sarge. "You were in the passenger seat, that makes you the navigator."
"What are you talking about?" Sarge asks
"Everybody knows that. Your in charge of directions." Grif explains.
"No the shot gun seat is reserved to the position of respect... and for people who carry shotguns." Sarge holds up his shotgun for emphisis. "See! klik! Quid pro quo. Now Grif, heres the plan. You walk in front of us very slowly."
"No." Grif interrupts.
"When you hear anything that sounds like a small metallic click, or it feels like your legs are being blown off, just say found one!"
"No!" Grif states.
"Thats a little cruel Sarge." Sora criticizes.
"Both of you shut up. I need to think a way out of this." Sarge says
"You mean the mess you navigated us into." Grif says. That was actaully a pretty cool come back, Sora thought. He definitely was gonna use it sometime.
"How about I come over there and navigate my fist through your forehead!" Sarge exclaims. Grif looks around before responding.
"Okay, bring it. Just stroll on over here across the mine field and beat me to death." Grif replies.
"Maybe I will." Sarge grumbles.
"Bring it!" Grif challenges.
"Look, we can here you talking. Do not move. seriously." Speaker guy cuts in, to which Sarge just growls.
"Does it really matter who got us into this mess? Lets just focus on trying to get out." Sora suggests.
"Thats actually a great idea! Why can't you be as intelligent as him Sarge?" Grif asks.
"I am. Thanks to me, red team hasn't lost against the blues." Sarge says "You should be thanking me."
"Yeah, but also thanks to you we haven't won against the blues." Grif says, To which Sarge growls.
"Grifffff."
"While we're at it, I would like to say the reason I don't listen to your orders. Its not because I'm lazy. Its because I don't like you." Grif goes on. Sarge loads his shotgun.
"He's... just doing that for show, right?" Sora asks, but he is ignored.
"Now, I can imagine it can be pretty hard to be an ineffective leader with no respect." Grif says. Sagre fires his shotgun, startling Sora, but doing no damage to Grif. "Who doesn't understand that his primary weapon has an effective range much shorter than most weapons."
"Sarge! Thats not worth shooting him over!" Sora exclaims.
"Coarse it is. How else am I gonna teach him respect?" Sarge replies.
"Besides, hes shot at me plenty of times before. I might as well get something out of it this time." Grif says.
"Alright, I'm back. Ready? We're gonna guide you otta there." Speaker guy announces then. Grif looks to Sarge.
"You know I was kidding right?" Grif nervously asks.
"Heres how were gonna do this, three of you guys will get infront of the car while the last one getting in." Speaker guy says. Sora, Sarge and Caboose get in front while Grif gets in. "Now we'll guide the three guys in front out, while you in the jeep just follow them."
"Okay." Grif responds.
"Im scared." Caboose says.
"It'll be okay Caboose." Sora assures him.
"Alright, start by takeing two steps forward and then turn to your right." Speaker guy says.
"A step aint exactly a standard measurement, buddy." Sarge announces.
"I think he just means take two steps forward Sarge." Sora says.
"Hey, Sora, haven't you learned by now that arguing with him isn't gonna acomplish anything?" Grif retohicaly asks.
"Do you mean two steps like this?" Sarge walks two steps then back up. "Or like this." Sarge attempts to run two steps before setting off a mine. "Okay got it!"
"Now walk four steps to your right." Speaker guy orders.
"You mean our right?" Sarge asks.
"Yes." speaker guy replies.
"Our our right, or your our right?" Caboose asks.
"Uh..." Sora just trys to comprehend what he just said. "I think he just means our right, Caboose."
"Yes, I mean just your right." Speaker guy confirms.
"Is left north to you? On the compass which way?" Sarge asks.
"Right is this way." Sora points with his right hand.
"Oh, thank you Sora, some of us forget sometimes." Caboose thanks.
"You mean, apparently all of us forget." Grif sighs. "You know what I just can't take this anymore, fuck it." Grif says before driving of on his own.
"Yeah, uh, fuck it! Just run!" Speaker guy agrees. Sora begins just rapidly jumping and dashing over the mines to safety, while he sees Sarge hop on the hood of the jeep. He couldn't see Caboose anywhere though 'I hope Caboose is okay.' Sora thinks. He manages to make it clear just before he sees the jeep (or whats left of it) impacts the large vehicle the speaker guy was talking from. Actually, how did he miss it the first time, he wondered.
Sora watchs as Sarge hops off of the jeep and Grif gets out.
"Awww, damnit Grif look what ya did now. You busted up the band new jeep." Sarge complains.
"Me? You were the idiots setting off mines." Grif counters.
"Speaking of which, wheres Caboose?" Sora asks, looking around to find the blue soldier.
"Ah crap. How we gonna explain that." Grif says.
"Caboose." Sora looks to the ground sadly. Yet another friend he couldn't save, he thought to himself. Just then, the speaker guy comes out wearing some completly diffrent variation of brown armour.
"What the hell? What were you thinking?" he asks them.
"We don't need to explain why he died. We're reds! Killing blues is our buisness. And today, buisness is good." Sarge explains.
"Im still confused about that. Your fighting him but hes your friend?" Sora tells them.
"I told you, I'll explain in a minute. Anyway, we didn't kill him! he stepped on a mine and blew up. And he was the reason we were on this stupid mission." Grif argues "So now what?"
"Hmm. I see your point." Sarge says. "I think we should have a moment of silence for the dead blue guy."
"Yeah. I guess thats the least we can do." Sora agrees.
"Hey, are you listening to me?" The man asks.
"Do you mind? We're having a moment of silence. Show some respect." Grif tells him.
"What?"
"Dear lord, We thank you for taking another blue back to heaven today. Or rather not to heaven, to whatever fiery pot you send blues to so they can suffer for eternity. You could've taken Grif... but you didn't. Again. Not sure why, it would've been easy. Those mine things are everywhere. But I guess you know what your doing." Sarge eulogizes. Sora then hears faint screaming become louder and a blue object fall behind the jeep.
"Wow, now that was a big explosion." Caboose pops his head out.
"Caboose!" Sora runs towars him.
"Blue guys back." Grif says
"Are you okay Caboose?" Sora asks.
"Yes, I landed on my head but thats the part thats most used to it." Caboose tells him. "I went really high. Did you get a picture?"
"Uh, no I didn't." Sora tells him. 'Almost forgot i have the gummi phone.' Sora thinks to himself.
"...and now you brought him back. And Grifs still here." Sarge continues. "I hate to criticize but you could've had him land on Grif and squash him! It would've been easy! Just a note, you can take it or leave it. Like I said, not really my place to criticize. Okay, the end, amen."
"Huh?" Sora says confused at Sarges... everything.
"What the fuck is wrong with you people?" The speaker guy asks.
"Woah, who are you?" Sarge asks.
"Who am I? Who are you? Im supposed to be here. You guys are accessing an area on lockdown." He tells them
"Lockdown?"
"This a restricted dig site. What are you doing here?"
"Oh, we were just looking for uhhh..." Caboose starts before Sarge interupts.
"We were just passing through on the way to meet up with the rest of out squad." Sarge explains. Sora then spies a jeep similar to theirs, just without the cannon drive up from the dig site and a... something hop out.
"Oh good. Stay here, don't move, don't touch anything." The speaker guy tells them. He then walks towards the recnetly pulled up vehicle.
"Why didn't you asks about Tucker?" Grif asks.
"We don't know anything about these guys! What if their the ones causing trouble for Tucker." Sarge explains. "We don't know if we can trust the yet."
"Oh, right. Because normally you guys are the ones causing trouble for Tucker." Caboose chims in.
"Right thats our job." Sarge agrees.
"You still haven't explain that to me by the way." Sora interupts.
"Long story short, we were fighting each other until we got to know each other and now we work together occasionally." Grif explains. Then The speaker guy comes back with the thing driving the jeep earlier. Upon closer inspection Sora along with the rest, discover its an alien.
"Okay, now we want the four of you t-"
"Woah!" Everyone exclaims.
"Uh oh." Caboose follows up.
"What the- oh right sorry. I'm so used to working with aliens now i forget some people don't have any experiance." Speaker guy apologizes.
"Oh, we've got experiance with these things alright. Some of us more than others." Sarge says.
"You guys fought aliens during the war?" he asks. After a pasue Grif responds.
"Yeah something like that. Lets just say we got a little closer to them than humanly possible."
"What does that mean." Sora asks.
"Trust us. Its best that you don't know." Sarge responds.
"Well don't worry about old Smith here. Hes really friendly." Speaker guy assures.
"Yeah, that doesen't really put us at ease." Grif says.
"Now im sure you've heard of the treaties between aliens and people. We're here to investigate an enegry reading. Rules are now, if they find one of these things, all investigation teams have to have at least one person and one alien. No exceptions." He explains.
"What kind of energy reading?" Sarge asks.
"I can't tell you that. In fact, I need you to leave this area ASAP." He tells them. "The alien diplomats will get mighty suspicious if they find another human squad showed up. We don't want to cause an intergalactic incident."
"Ah, we're used to doing that." Caboose says.
"*clears throat* What my friend means is we're used to following protocol." Sarge quickly says.
"Good. Then you guys just head out on your way and we don't need to report this to anybody." Speaker guy says.
"Dude, we're not going anywhere. Our jeep is wrecked." Grif says before said jeep explodes.
"Damn, okay we'll help you repair your jeep, and then your gone." He says. "Couple of rules while your here. Tgis is a restricted dig site. Everything here is property of the military. Do not fo looking for any artifacts! And do not go anywhere with out telling me. Got it?"
"Yes mom, we got it." Grif answers for everyone.
"Okay, quick quiz then, what are you gonna do if you find an artifact." Speaker guy asks.
"Not take it." Sora says.
"No! That was a trick question. You aren't going to find an artifact because you aren't going to look for an artifact." He says.
"Maybe he new it was a trick question and gave a trick answer." Caboose suggests.
"There are no trick answers there are only wrong answers, are we clear?"
"Yes." Caboose and Sora answer.
"Are we clear."
"Yes." Everyone answers.
"Okay, then head down there. On the left, you'll find some wrecked jeeps you can scavenge for parts. Theres also water down their on the left too. Keep yourselves hydrated. You want some chow? Its with the water on the left."
"Thanks. And we'll be leaving as soon as we can." Sarge replies.
"Yes you will." Speaker guy says.
"For what its worth, sorry for causing you so much trouble." Sora apologises.
"No worries kid." Speaker guy responds. Everyone then heads down into the dig site.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking Sarge?" Grif asks.
"Yeah, something just doesen't seem right." Sarge replies.
"I know. Everything is on the left." Caboose answers.
"What do you mean? Everything seems fine." Sora asks.
"Oh I wish, but we are not that lucky." Grif says.
"Maybe your luck can turn around then." Sora suggests.
"I hope so." Grif responds.
As the group heads down Sora takes the opportunity to ask.
"Can you explain whats going on? I mean in greater detail."
"Sure." Sarge says. "Grif, tell him what's going on."
"Me? Why do I have to do it." Grif asks.
"Because I'm gonna be working on the jeep. And I don't trust that dirty blue to explain it." Sarge replies.
"Ughhh. Fine." Grif sighs. Sarge heads off towards a jeep while Caboose just looks toward the temple, lost in his own thoughts. "Anywhere you want me to start?"
"Sarge seems to not trust Caboose, or anyone in blue. Why is that?" Sora asks.
"Oh thats because we were fighting each other. Red vs Blue. And even though we stopped fighting, Sarge still dosen't turst any blues, but then again he was the only one who took the war seriously." Grif explains.
"Why were you guys fighting?" Sora asks.
"Beats me. I signed up for the military to fight some aliens. So I dunno why I was stuck in a canyon in the middle of nowhere fighting a bunch of blue guys." Grif explains.
"Caboose said some one called Tucker was in trouble. Who is Tucker?" Sora asks.
"Another blue. Really annoying. He tries his hardest to be a ladys man but he just comes off looking stupid." Grif says.
"Yes! I'm not the only one who thinks Tucker is stupid!" Caboose exclaims.
"But isn't he your friend?" Sora asks.
"Yes." Caboose simply replies.
"Grif!" Sarge yells. "Head to that radio over there and give Simmons a status update."
"Uh sorry, still explaining stuff." Grif yells over.
"Well, you can get back to it after you call Simmons." Sarge yells.
"Whos Simmons?" Sora asks.
"One of our guys. Hes a total nerd." Grif briefly explains before heading over towards the radio. Sora then turns towards Caboose.
"Do you know why your friend is in trouble?" Sora asks him.
"No, I only know its under this and." Caboose explains.
"Uhh." Sora gives him a confused look. "Okay." Caboose then drops a purpleish device out of where ever he was keeping it.
"Woaps. Don't worry about that, that was nothing." Caboose says as he picks it up and tries to hide it from Soras vision.
"What is that?" Sora asks.
"I uhhh. Look, I'll only tell you if you can promise to keep it secret." Caboose tells him.
"I promise." Sora swears.
"Okay, this is Epsilon." Caboose explains.
"Uh, can you explain?" Sora asks.
"You see, awhile ago I went on an adventure with Red sargent, Griff, Simmons, Agent Washington, and my best friend Church to help go in freelancer city and I got Epsilon for helping."
"Oh, sounds like a fun adventure. Who is Agent Washington and Church?" Sora asks.
"Agent Washington is a freelancer. Hes pretty scary but hes also very nice. And Church is my best friend in the whole world! Hes awsome. He was our leader back in blood vally before we all moved out. He sometimes acts like he doesn't like me but he really does."
"Wow, this Church sounds like a good friend. Whre is he now?" Sora asks.
"Ahhh, hes dead." Caboose responds.
"Oh. I'm sorry." Sora says saddly.
"Oh, don't be sorry, im sure he'll be back. After all I may have accidently killed him before with a tank, but he came back." Caboose answers. "Has something like that ever happened to you?"
"Uh... yes actually." Sora respnds.
"Do you want to tell me, I can keep it a secret." Caboose whispers the last part.
"You see... the reason I was out in the desert was because I was looking for a good friend too." Sora responds "Her name was Kairi. She sort of died, but didn't."
"Like Church." Caboose interrupts.
"Yeah." Sora agrees.
"Was she a computer program too?" Caboose asks.
"What!? Uh no." Sora responds.
"Okay, then she is not like Church." Caboose says.
"We should go check to see if Sarge has made any progress." Sora changes the subject. The two along with Grif head over to Sarge.
"What the heck is wrong with this jeep anyway? Doesn't have a turret." Sarge asks.
"Maybe its just a regular car?" Sora suggests.
"What does that mean?" Sarge asks.
"You know, a regular car. Its mean't more for transportation then combat, so it doesn't have any guns." Sora explains.
"Huh? What kinda car doesn't have a massive cannon on it?" Sarge asks.
"Lots of cars." Sora responds.
"Thats ridiculous. That'd be like saying there is some kinda thing you can wear on your head thats not armour plated, and doesn't offer a 5x optical zoom." Sarge says.
"You mean like a hat?" Sora asks.
"You've been in the military a really long time." Caboose responds.
"Yup, its been a good run." Sarge smiles under his helmet.
"Damnit! No radio here either? Some ones yanked it out. Why they deliberately pull the radio out of their own jeep?" Grif asks.
"Let me take a look Grif." Caboose offers.
"What? You wanna confirm that theres no radio there." Grif says.
"Maybe I can fix it." Caboose suggests.
"How are you gonna fix something that isn't even the-. You know what. No. Fuck it. Go for it. Whatever." Grif says, moving towards Sarge. "Sarge, this place gives me the creeps. Somethings really wrong here. I mean, why would they delibertly pull the radio out of there own jeep? And why can't I get a signal on long range?"
"Something does seem out of place." Sarge agrees. "But maybe we're over reacting."
"Yeah, maybe they're using the radios to fix something else?" Sora suggests.
"And we just so happened to find all the ones that are broken?" Grif questions. "That seems unlikely."
"Hmm, maybe they have one enormous radio somewhere that requires a ton of parts?" Sarge suggests. "Like one the size of a house."
"Once again, unlikely." Grif deadpans.
"What about that big green thing we saw earlier?" Sora suggests.
"Yeah, the mobile base probably has a radio." Grif exclaims. Once Grif is done talking, everyone can hear Caboose muttering to himself on the other side of the car.
"Blue! What are you doing?" Sarge demands.
"Uh, nothing. I'm up to nothing." Caboose responds.
"What is that? What are you doing?" Sarge asks as Grif and Sora spot the guy from earlier coming towards them.
"Uh oh, here comes-"
"Caboose, stop messing with the jeep." Sarge interrupts Grif.
"I'm not doing anything, just ignore me." Caboose assures.
"If you aren't doing anything what would we be ignoring." Sarge questions.
"Uh, Sarge, that guy from earlier-"
"Ignore what I'm not doing." Caboose cuts off. Sarge then takes notice of Soras words and makes a quick plan.
"Okay, you guys follow my lead." Sarge says.
"What?" Sora questions.
"Just let us handle it." Grif assures.
"Hey, whats going on down here?" The guy asks.
"I said nothing!" Caboose exclaims. Sarge clears his throat.
"We're just here, scavenging for parts like you said." Sarge tells him.
"Okay, then hurry it up." The guy says.
"You realize we're not going to fix this in the next 10 minutes, right?" Grif says.
"Yeah, just the sooner the better."
"Why? Whats going on around here?" Sarge asks. Sora half listens as Sarge and Grif try to fish information out of the guy who now calls himself CT, until.
"Now lets-, hey wheres your other guy?" CT asks.
"Uh, what guy?" Sarge asks.
"The other guy."
"Hes right there." Sarge points towards Grif.
"The other other guy!"
"Hes right... there?" Grif points at Sora.
"Thats it! Your either here to investigate us or you're complete idiots!" CT exclaims. "Either way I've had it."
"Investigate?" Grif questions.
"Tell me where the blue guy went, or I'll shoot the orange one!" CT threatens. Sora stands ready to summon his keyblade should he actually fire on Grif. Despite being threatend Grif can only sigh at this.
"Dude, I can save you some time, you picked the wrong guy to threaten. It'll make more sense when you get to know us." Just then an alarm is set off and every one heads towards the mobile base.
"Thats him isn't it." CT says.
"Probably." Grif confirms.
"Alright, move!" barked CT as the three were taken to the mobile base.
"Alright already, we're moving. Don't boss me." Grif complains. The three then see Caboose held up by both human and alien crew members.
"Whats going on up here." CT asks. An alien only replies with two blargs which the four can't understand. "Sabotaging the digger, huh. I knew it. Who sent you here? What do they know about us?" 'Okay, I see what Grif and Sarge were getting at.' Sora thinks.
"Damn it Caboose, why do you keep messing with the vehicles?" Sarge asks.
"Oh, yeah I was just trying to find a home for Epsilon." Caboose replies. "No biggy." Everyone then takes notice of the purple object on the ground. The Epsilon unit.
"What? What is that thing?" CT asks. Then something begins shaking the ground before the sound of rock moving itself is heard, like a stone gate opening. "Shit! Hes opening the temple! Damn it! Are you with him!?"
"With who?" Sora asks.
"Aw crap!" CT exclaims. "Get down there. Kill him if you have to and don't let that door close again no matter what happens!" At that comand, CTs crew heads down to eliminate whoever they were fighting against. As the crew was taking their leave, Our four heros run in the opposite direction to get the hell outta there. Soon gunshots can be heard as members of CTs crew begin to fall. The four seperate with Grif hijacking the digger, Caboose staying on its left side, and Sora and Sarge running up to its right.
"Ha ha! See ya suckers. You just got yoinked!" Grif taunts as he takes control. "The fuck you drive this thing? Why are there only four levers if theres only six directions? Where the fuck is second gear?" The digger begins to move slowly.
"Grif! If your gonna run away in the middle of a battle, at least have the decency to drive faster than we can run!" Sarge calls put.
"Guess the trade off for its size is speed." Sora says.
"Is the emergency brake on? I don't- fuck this! This is stupid!" Grif rants, before he stops and gets out of the digger. The four regroup as CT orders a retreat. They make their way along one of the temple walls until they see a soldier in the same type of armour as Grif and Sarge, but it is a blueish green. He is also carrying a glowing sword.
"Hey guys! Run for the temple! I'll cover you, hurry!" He calls out to them.
"Oh... my... Tucker!" Caboose exclaims. "Is that you?"
"Yeah of coarse its me! Now move!" Tucker demands.
"So... where have you been?" Caboose casually asks.
"What is this? Some kinda fuckin reunion? Move your asses idiots. I'll be right over." Tucker tells them. At that, every one makes a brake for the temple.
"What in sam hill was all that?" Sarge asks.
"Who cares, just move!" Grif demands. The four make their way towards the door and make cover fire until until Tucker closes it. Once its closed-
"Tucker!" Caboose exclaims.
"Hey Caboose." Tucker greets.
"Oh, hey look its that guy." Grif sighs.
"You brought these guys? Are we killing each other today or pretending to work together?" Tucker asks.
"Uh, the pretending version." Caboose answers.
"Oh okay, cool. Whos the kid?" Tucker asks.
"I'm Sora." Sora responds. "Your Tucker right?"
"Yup. Why are you with these idiots?" Tucker asks.
"I got a little lost in the desert." Sora admits.
"Lost? There isn't a settlement around here!" Tucker exclaims.
"I'm very lost." Sora says. "Thats a very cool sword you have by the way."
"Oh this thing? Yeah, its pretty fuckin sweet. Its not just a sword, its a key too. Its what lets me open and close the temple at will. It also only works for me. Bad ass, amiright?" Tucker boasts.
"Sounds like the keyblade." Sora mutters.
"The what? I guess its kinda like that." Tucker admits. "'Keyblade' sounds pretty sweet."
"It kinda looks strange, but they're all diffrent." Sora says.
"Wait? There are more of these things lieing around?" Tucker asks.
"Well, they arn't lieing around. But there are more." Sora says. "I have one of my own." Sora then summons the Kingdom key for all to see. "It also does all the things yours can do."
"Nice. Doesn't look as cool as mine, looks like an actual key." Tucker says. "Anyway, how did you all find me?"
"We got that radio call you sent." Sarge says.
"The distress signal? And they sent you assholes? That was to help me. I wanted less distress not more distress!" Tucker complains.
"Actually, we kinda ignored that call at first." Grif admits.
"That makes sense."
"Then Donut showed up and told us you were in trouble." Grif continues.
"Ohohoh, I get it. So me making an emergency radio call, not a big deal, Donut telling you some dumb homo story, red alert!" Tucker complains.
"Well at least they came in the end, right?" Sora tries to assure.
"I guess. So wheres everyone else?" Tucker asks.
"What do you mean?" Caboose asks.
"The rest of the people who are gonna help me fight these fuckers off." Tucker explains. A moment of silence passes. "You didn't bring any other soldiers did you?"
"Oh, um, that depends. By other soldiers do you mean people other than us?" Caboose asks.
"Yes, I do." Tucker deadpans.
"Then, no." Caboose confirms.
"Whats goin on here?" Sarge asks.
"Its kinda hard to explain. They think theres some kinda artifact here. Some massive weapon built a long time ago." Tucker explains.
"An old weapon... like a spear." Caboose says
"No, not a spear. Like some kinda super energy, electric thing."
"An electric spear." Caboose deduces.
"Its not a spear dumbass."
"Hm, think I've heard about these. They found some back during the war." Sarge says.
"Yeah, well all the aliens are into them and so are all the humans now. So me and Junior have to go around sometimes and help... negotiate stuff. You know, smooth talk." Tucker explains.
"Why you?" Grif asks.
"We're like ambassadors here or something. Humans and aliens seem more comfortable with us since we're kinda... inbetween."
"Uh what?" Sora asks.
"His son is an alien." Grif briefly explains.
"In between humans and aliens huh? You mean in between two human and alien... ladys?" Caboose asks.
"Come on dude, seriously? Your not gonna get me to say it with that lame ass joke. I'm not that easy." Tucker says before another moment of silence passes. "Okay, maybe I am that easy, bow chicka wow wow. See, now thats a set up."
"Should we get back on topic?" Sora asks.
"Yeah, are you part of the group that CT told us about?" Sarge asks.
"That asshole? Hes a fucking liar. He and his team killed the guys originaly sent to dig this thing up, then they tried to kill me." Tucker explains.
"Oh no, well I hope you stopped them." Caboose says.
"I locked myself in this temple. I figured it would keep me safe and keep them away from the relic."
"So who are they?" Grif asks.
"I don't have any idea, dude. They're probably trying to steal the artifact then sell it to the highest bidder." Tucker says
"Oh, they're like evil ebay." Caboose says.
"Your an idiot. Look guys, thanks for the fucked up rescue mission and all that, but wheres Church?" Tucker asks.
"Oh uh, hes dead." Caboose explains.
"Yeah, Church has been dead for years, that never stopped him before."
"Oh yeah, we also found out that hes not a ghost and that hes an AI program like Shelia." Caboose explains.
"...Yeah I knew that." Tucker says.
"You did?" Grif asks.
"Yeah, you guys didn't. Fu- pay fuckin attention what the fuck you guys paying attention too?" Tucker asks.
"Uh... I had my suspicions." Grif mutters.
"Of coarse, I just didn't want to tell anybody." Sarge explains.
"I just got here." Sora says.
"I still want to know what Tucker is going to do between the two ladies." Caboose says.
"Look guys, I need your help. We need to either chase these guys off, or destroy the facility. Or, pick up some chicks. Old habbits die hard." Tucker explains.
"But why destroy it?" Sarge asks.
"Orders. We can't let it fall into anyone elses hands. Plus breaking stuff is fucking awsome." Tucker says.
"Your right about that." Sora agrees.
"This thing is that powerful?" Grif questions.
"Hell yeah, first they built these rings that are a huge weapon, then we found this super powerful cube shaped weapon, and I guess this is the pyramid version." Tucker says.
"That ancient race sure built a lot of weapons." Grif says.
"I know."
"I mean, did they really have to spend all their time building stuff to destroy the universe? Like, how about the galaxys biggest movie theater, or like some kinda super adavnced water park?All work and no play guys, seriously."
"No play. Tell me about it." Tucker says.
Meanwhile, a loud bang is heard as if something outside of the temple was being rammed into it.
"What the hell are they doing out there?" Grif asks.
"They've been trying to blast their way in here ever since I locked it down, though they aren't havin much luck ARE YOU FUCKIN ASSHOLES!" Tucker yells to them. "This stuff looks like rock but its way tougher than that."
"Whats tougher than rock?" Grif asks.
"Paper." Caboose says
"How the fuck should I know? super rock?" Tucker suggests. "What am I? Some kinda geographist?"
"They have some kinda big machine out there." Sarge says.
"Yeah, they just got that thing. I think they think that they're gonna yank this door off with it. Not fucking happening." Tucker replies.
"They wanna get their hands on that weapon." Sarge asks.
"Yeah, and we can't let them turn it on, no matter what happens." Tucker warns.
"Why don't we just turn it on and use it against them?" Sarge suggests.
"Fuck what? We don't know how it works we could turn it on and it makes us all sterile." Tucker explains.
"Would it do that?" Grif asks.
"Well, the last weapon we found was designed to wipe out all organic life in a huge radius." Tucker says, to which Grif only whistles while Sora just goes eyes wide open.
"Why would someone make something like that?" He asks no one.
"Fucking, I dunno. For all I know they just do it for fun." Tucker says. "Point is, don't touch anything. You hit the wrong button or flip the wrong switch, we'll all be dead before you can say- wheres Caboose?"
"I don't think thats how that expression goes." Sarge says.
"No, I mean where the fuck is Caboose?" Tucker asks.
"Oh, yeah. He does have a habbit of wandering off, hes been trying to rig equipment to do something." Sarge tells him. "We don't really know what. That boys not quite right ya know?"
"What the- I just said not to touch anything and you guys let him walk away to find equipment?" Tucker questions ."What the hell is wrong with you? Man I swear, you guys have always been idiots but this takes the cake."
"Hes on your team, asshole." Grif reminds him.
"Oh right." Tucker says. "Hey, uh, so if you guys aren't doing anything you wanna go help me find Caboose?"
"Sure." Sora says in a tone like the previous conversation never happened.
"Lets go." Sarge says as everyone heads in.
"So embarrassing for you." Grif taunts.
"Just go find the guy." Tucker demands.
"So sad..." Grif continues.
"I fucked your sister." Tucker taunts. As they are looking for Caboose everyone hears someones voice. It sounded like it was on a speaker phone so it was probably outside.
"Just open the temple and leave! We'll take what we want and no one has to get hurt!" It says.
"Shut up idiot!" Tucker yells. "I shoud've stabbed that fucking speaker while I was out there."
"Caboose!" Grif calls.
"Caboose, where are you!" Tucker yells.
"Caboose!" Sora calls.
"Hey blue! Hope your not dead. Now that theres two of ya, we can finally have a fair fight! Come on out here so we can kill ya!" Sarge exclaims. Sora then throws Sarge a questioning look which he catchs. "Right, not the time." He grumbles in response.
"Hey guys, shut up. Do you here that." Tucker gets everyones attention. Everyone listens closely and Cabooses voice can be heard.
"Wa-would you be quiet!" Caboose demands to someone. "See your gonna get me in trouble."
"Trouble? Fuck that." A new voice says. It is unrecognizable to Sora and sounds pretty robotic.
"Whos he talking to? Aw crap, did someone break into the temple?" Tucker whispers. The four then hear a glass shatter.
"Ah, n- okay see, you broke that. That was your fault." Caboose tells the new arrival.
"That? That was already broken." The new voice says. Tucker then brings out his energy sword while making a whooshing noise and Sora summons his keyblade.
"Alright, lets charge in there and take these assholes out. On my mark-" Tucker says. "-that means when I say go."
"That voice sounds familiar." Grif says.
"Yeah, I find it annoying and grating for some reason." Sarge adds.
"Okay, just stop moving around, hold still." Caboose tells the mystery person.
"I am holding still, your the one thats moving!" The person yells.
"Yeah that sounds like-" Tucker starts off.
"Get your hands off me! Fuckin douch!" He yells.
"Sorry Church." Caboose apologizes.
"Church!" Everyone exclaims before running into Cabooses area. Inside the find Caboose with a floating ball with one large blue eye in the center. Everyone stares.
"I can explain." Caboose says.
"Who the fuck are these guys?" Church asks.
"Church... your telling me thats Church." Tucker says.
"Well, not exactly, see um, technically this thing um, is just a memory of Church. His name is Epsilon
"Epsiwhatsiwha?" Tucker questions.
"Me, dipshit!" Church yells.
"Uh yeah see, hes a resident memory of the guy Church was based on, so hes kinda like, remembering himself." Caboose explains.
"Why does everything have to be complicated." Sora sighs to himself.
"Simmons can explain, yknow, much beter than I can." Caboose continues.
"Sounds like I have another reason to be glad Simmons isn't here." Grif says.
"Wait, I thought he was Simmons." Church says refering to Sarge.
"Thats Sarge. Sa-a-arge." Caboose explains.
"Im confused, not deaf you idiot." Chruch chastises. "And whos the yellow one?"
"Im not yellow, im orange." Grif yells.
"Yeah, then how'd you know who I was talking about?" Church asks.
"How come he remembers us, but not who we are?" Tucker asks.
"Why does everyone think I'm yellow? Seriously!" Grif rants to himself. "Didn't anybody have a box of crayons as a kid!"
"Oh it will come back to him. See, I've been telling him stories about all of us." Caboose then looks to Tucker. "We'll most of us."
"Is that what you've been trying to do all this time?" Sarge asks. "Rebuild your buddy."
"Yes. No. Maybe. Which would make you less mad?" Caboose asks.
"Oh, Caboose. We're not mad that you were trying to help someone." Sora assures him.
"So the only stuff he knows about us is what you've told him." Tucker states. "Thats scary on a lot of levels dude."
"Why?" Church asks.
"Hohoh, why? Okay, quick quiz. Who am I?" Tucker asks.
"Your Captain Flowers, right? Your dead. I've been meaning to ask you about that part. Is he like a zombie?" Church asks.
"Uh-hu. And who is he?" Tucker points to Grif.
"He's Griff. Which is spelt with two fs." Church answers.
"God damn it! Now thats another thing!" Grif goes on.
"Opps, I kinda thought it was two fs, too." Sora admits, to which Grif only groans.
"Caboose was very specific about that second f." Church reveals.
"Yeah, and what about the red guy?" Tucker asks.
"Well, if hes not Simmons then I guess hes Sarge. And that would make him the gruff and regimented leader of the red team." Church tells them.
"Good job, Epsilon." Sora cheers.
"Just give him one more second." Tucker assures.
"That would also make him the captain of their pirate ship." Church continues.
"There it is." Tucker says.
"I am a good story teller." Caboose says to himself.
"And the kid there is Sora. The guy from the desert who is magic." Church goes on.
"Thats even more fucked up." Tucker says. "How are you gonna tell storys anyway, you can't even read."
"I can read." Caboose defends.
"Caboose is the only guy I know who got an illustrated field manual." Tucker reveals."Hes a moron."
"Well it helps when storys have pictures." Caboose says, while Sora silently nods.
"For the first two months I worked with him, he thought you over your head, while they shot arrows at the enemy."
"That diagram could have been a lot more specific."
"Heh, your lucky. As a recruit, Grif didn't even know what a grenade was!" Sarge says. "I called them a pinapple, and he tried to swallow it."
"Yeah? Well its still tasted better than those MREs you served us." Grif shoots back.
"Grif! Show some respect! Do you know how many men died to develop those meals?" Sarge asks.
"I can tell you exactly how many. Everybody who ever tasted one." Grif tells him.
"I think we might be getting a little of topic here." Sora says, though he is ignored.
"At least he doesn't kill everyone who suits up for your team." Tucker says.
"Oh, yeah. I don't think I really did that." Caboose tells him.
"Then who did?"
"Okay stick with me on this one. What if Church traveled back in time using Wyomings special ability power-"
"God, shut up. Thats fucking retarded." Tucker interrupts.
"What? Whos Wyoming?" Sora asks.
"Ugh. You guys are idiots." Grif ignores Sora.
"What! What about you guys!?" Caboose asks.
"Whos the real idiot? The idiot, or the idiot who fights it?" Sarge asks.
"Huh, im not following-"
"What dude? In either scenario, your still an idiot." Tucker tells him.
"Heh, I would expect you to say something like that." Sarge says.
"Wait, I think hes right." Grif says.
"Shut up Grif. I always thought your armour was yellow too." Sarge insults him. "Matchs your personality."
"Hey! You shouldn't be mean to people who work for you, and just wanna be their friend!" Caboose yells.
"Oh... guys I think we've forgotten about the-" Sora goes on.
"No one tries to do that but you." Tucker reminds him.
"I think your all a bunch of idiots." Sarge says. Everyone argues while Sora attempts to get everyone back to the task at hand until-
"Everyone stop!" Church yells. Everyone but Caboose stops until he eventually simiars down. "Alright listen guys, I may 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 to destroy this weapon, those guys outside are gonna kill a lot of people. And we can't let that happen." Church begins moving away from Caboose as Sora begins to smile at his speech. "So just for a moment, lets set aside our diffrences, 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?"
"Im with you." Sora announces.
"Where are you going?" Grif asks.
"Uh, yeah I don't seem 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 take leader position while I'm away!"
"Okay bye." Caboose says.
"Yeah, see ya later Winston Churchill." Sarge says.
"Why can't something nice happen here?" Sora sighs.
As the blues headed after Church, the reds and Sora stay behind to chat.
"I knew it. This was a trap!" Sarge exclaims.
"Whats a trap?" Grif asks.
"Don't you see Grif? The blues have an advantage over us!" Sarge explains.
"What, you mean they have a decent leader?" Grif asks.
"No! I mean they have three people and we only have two!" Sarge continues.
"Hey Sora, your now an honoary member of red team." Grif tells Sora. "There problem solved."
"Grif you don't have the athority to do that!" Sarge exclaims. "Sora you are now an official memeber of red team!" Sarge exclaims.
"Uh, thanks? But I don't think you need to worry about the blues." Sora explains.
"Oh we don't need to worry about them alright. We still have a chance to defeat them!" Sarge exclaims.
"No. I don't think the blues are intrested in fighting us." Sora explains.
"Dude, I have tried to explain that to him for awhile now. Not gonna work." Grif interjects.
"Don't tell me they have you fooled my boy! Those dirty blues only know how to lie, cheat, and steal!" Sarge continues.
"Besides, don't we have someone else we need to stop?" Sora reminds them. "CT and how hes gonna steal some weapon?"
"Dang nabbit, your right!" Sarge growls. "I guess we can have another temporary truce. Then we can go back to the good ol days of trying to kill each other." Just then another large bang rings out across the temple. "Peter, Paul and Ringo! What the heck was that!"
"That did not sound good!" Grif deadpans. Just then the blues come back in.
"Did you guys hear that?" Tucker asks.
"Hear what? Of coarse we heard that idiot!" Grif exclaims.
"Aw great, I think they broke down the door." Tucker says. At this, Sora summons his keyblade, ready for a fight. Just then Church comes in.
"What! Who would do that- thing that you just said to the other thing?" He questions.
"Whats Wrong with him?" Grif asks.
"He disabled his memory of something dumb while trying to unlock this massive laser eye hes got. I dunno." Tucker explains.
"Laser eye? That sounds cool." Sora says.
"Whos got a laser eye?" Church asks.
"You do." Caboose answers.
"I do!" Church exclaims.
"YES." Tucker stresses.
"Thats awesome man, I feel great about... whatever it is we're talking about." Church says.
"Should we be helping him?" Sora asks.
"Yeah, Caboose, shouldn't you be killing him or something?" Tucker asks, to which Caboose responds by going up to Church and hitting him then backing away.
"Ow!" Church exclaims.
"Tucker did it!" Caboose exclaims.
"No he didn't jackass, you did." Church says.
"So you remember that?" Tucker asks.
"Why wouldn't I remember that?" Church asks.
"You don't remember why you wouldn't remeber? Then I guess you fixed, fuck it." Tucker says
"Hitting techy things does fix them... all the time, then." Sora thinks to himself.
"You guys never make any god damn sense." Chruch complains.
"Yeah, thats our problem." Tucker says.
"Over here!" Everyone hears CT yell. "Split up. You two, guard the entrance, don't let them out."
"Uh, I think we have more pressing issues at the moment fellas." Sarge reminds everyone.
"Hes right. Everyone ready." Sora silently calls out.
"I thought you said they couldn't bust through the door!?" Grif says.
"When did you guys start listening to me?" Tucker laughs.
"Everybody grab some cover." Sarge orders before everyone does just that. Just as everyone is hidden, an alien comes in and then another one.
"Shit, theres two of them!" Grif says.
"Grif, don't panic. You've been trained for this!" Sarge tells him.
"THIS? I'VE BEEN TRAINED FOR THIS! BEING STUCK IN AN ANCIENT TEMPLE, SURROUNDED BY MYSTIC TECHNOLOGY, WHILE BEING HUNTED BY ALIENS FROM ANOTHER PLANET!" Grif silently yells. "THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TRAINED FOR!"
"Okay, maybe not this specifically, but elements of this which when combined are liberally interpreted, bear a close resembalance to this." Sarge says.
"NOT EVEN CLOSE!" Grif exclaims.
"Don't worry, Grif. We'll make it though this." Ssora assures him.
"I feel safer already. Why was I worryed." Grif says sarcastically.
"Ah, just shut up and fight." Sarge orders "Today is a good day for you to die!" Grif and Sarge then leave their cover to shoot the aliens. They successfully kill one on the first barrage, causeing the other to retaliate by throwing a grenade, which does not do much to our heros.
"Look out." Grif yells as Tucker activates his energy sword.
"I just need them to get a little closer." Tucker whispers. Sora is about to hit it with a firaga but is distracted by doing so when he suddenly spies a floating crate.
"Hey Church, are you doing that?" Caboose asks.
"Doing what?" Church asks before looking at the floating crate and realizing he is doing it. "Oh cool! Am I! Oh look I am! Oh look, thats awesome!"
"When did you get telekinesis?" Tucker asks.
"You have teleportesis?" Caboose asks. "Can you hear what I'm thinking now?"
"Caboose. Telekinesis is moving objects with your mind, not reading minds." Sora tells him.
"My guess would be nothing." Tucker guesses anyway.
"Oh my god TUCKER HAS IT TOO!" Caboose exclaims. Sora just smiles at the idiot's silliness.
"Look at this! This is so kickass! I wonder what other powers I have! Man I could be the most powerful being in the universe! I'm like a super hero!" Church says before floating away.
"Where are you going?" Tucker chuckles.
"Opps, uh I seem to have lost control of my body again." Church calls to him.
"Yeah, some super hero." Tucker sighs. "You fuckin dick."
"With some time, I'm sure he'll get used to that body and those powers." Sora assures him.
"Yeah, thats what I'm afraid of. Church was always a narcissist, but with fricken super powers he'll take it to the next level." Tucker tells him.
"Okay then." Sora says, shifting his attention back to the battle since he doesn't know how to respond to that.
The second alien then returns fire with a chain gun that he probably got from outside.
"Grif, listen. We may not both make it out of this." Sarge tells Grif.
"What?" Grif responds.
"If you die, I think I'm prepared to live with that. I've practiced it a lot. But theres also a chance that you might survive and I won't." Sarge continues.
"There'd be a beter chance if you help me shoot!" Grif exclaims.
"In case I don't make it, I can't help but think about all the future mistakes you're gonna make, that I'm not gonna be there to scream at you about." Sarge continues.
"Oh stop, I'm getting all teary eyed." Grif sarcastically replies.
"I just wanna let you know that at my bunk back at the base, theres a recorder deck. I've prerecorded about fifty-seven hours of rants that should be applicable in a variaty of situations." Sarge tells him. "Whenever you feel good about yourself, I want you to play one, and always remember: someone hates you." The alien continues firing until Church floats out towards it. It then ceases fire to look up at him, and is then blasted with a fire ball out of nowhere. The soldiers look to see Sora is the one who fired it.
"Woah! How did you do that?" Sarge asks.
"Uh, the keyblade lets me do things like that." Sora explains.
"Cool! Let me try." Tucker says before repeatedly trying to perform firaga with his energy sword. 'Maybe it isn't a keyblade that I'm familiar with. It could be some variation exclusive to this world.' Sora thinks. "Fuck. Okay, how did you do that?" Tucker asks.
"You look like your doing it right." Sora tells him. "Maybe yours can't do things like that in excange for looking cooler."
"Aw. Thats bullshit. But then again, mine is more likely to attract the chicks than yours. No offense." Tucker says.
"Hey how come he stopped firing when he saw me?" Church asks.
"I've seen this before, the aliens worship this ancient technology. That one probably though Church was some sort of god." Tucker explains.
"Wow! Seriously? Thats pretty fuckin cool!" Church exclaims.
Caboose gasps "Maybe thats why your name is Church!"
"The shots came from down here!" Someone yells. At that, Church retreats into another room behind the five.
"Right! Form up men!" CT is heard yelling.
"Woah! Incoming!" Sarge says.
"Good luck guys!" Church calls. CT and his men then come in and hold up our heros.
"Freeze! Lower your weapons!" CT exclaims. Everyone does so except for Sora who desumoned it after killing the second alien. CT then looks to Tucker. "You... do you have any idea how much trouble you caused me! I should kill you right here!" Sora, stands ready to surprise attack them. Church then come out of the room.
"Somebodys getting killed? I wanna watch." He says.
"You activated it?" CT asks.
"Activated what?" Church asks.
"Secure the relic! Don't let it get away!" CT orders. One of the soldiers then takes out a pistol and charges it. It illuminates a green colour as it charges.
"Oh, cool pistol, greens my favorite colour." Church says before being shot and deactivated.
"Church!" Sora exclaims.
"Yes! Great shot Jones!" CT congradulates, while Sora is checking on Church. Unbenounced to both sides, the aliens look very upset at the action.
"Thanks! But its actually pronounced jo-annis, sir!" Jo-annis says before Smith knocks him down and starts beating on him.
"What the? Smith! What are you doing!" CT exclaims before the other aliens turn on their human allies.
"Whats happening!" Sarge exclaims.
"I think we have some new friends." Sora smiles while watching the chaos. while hes not watching, CT takes Church from Sora and runs of.
"Outta the way!" He exclaims as he exits.
"So much for being a team." Sora scoffs as he watchs CT retreat.
"Lets go!" Tucker orders.
"Wait, we need to grab Church." Caboose says.
"That guy in brown armour grabbed him." Grif says. The group exit the temple to find CT getting away in a warthog followed by two of his men on a mongoose. "There he goes! Everybody in the jeep!" It is then everyone notices it is upside down.
"We gotta get that thing turned over!" Sarge exclaims.
"I'll do it!" Caboose says before doing it.
"Woah!" Sora wows at his strength. 'I wonder how strong he is compared to Hercules.' he wonders.
"Wow! You are strong!" Sarge complaments before hoping in.
"Is this thing even going to start?" Grif questions before getting in.
"Hopefully. Come on, chuppababy." Sarge says before the jeep starts. Meanwhile, Sora and Tucker head in a diffrent direction.
"Sora! Tucker! Where are you going?" Caboose asks on the jeep.
"Theres no room for me! I'll be right back!" Tucker yells.
"What are you doing?" Sora asks him.
"Getting a ride of my own." Tucker smiles under his helmet. Then the two come across some shadowy creature. "What the hell is that thing? It doesn't look like a sand flea." Tucker exclaims.
"Heartless!" Sora exclaims before summoning his keyblade.
"What!" Tucker questions.
"They're attracted to the darkness in people hearts. They're really dangerous." Sora explains.
"Great. First asshole mercenarys, then CTs goons, and now shadow demons." Tucker exclaims before taking out his energy sword. The one is then joined by reinforcments, luckily they are only little shadow heartless. The two chrage them with Sora sticking to striking them with the keyblade rather than using magic. They really weren't worth it. In the mist of his fight he also spies Tucker doing well in his. "Swish!" He says, taking out a heartless. "Swish!" He gets a triple kill. "Stab!" He stabs one in a bad ass looking way and the fights over as quick as it started.
"Good fighting!" Sora complements.
"Thanks, but we don't have time to talk right now. Gotta save Church!" Tucker says before continuing to run.
"Right." Sora says before following him. The two then approach some alien look vehicle that appeared to only ride on one massive wheel. "Woah!"
"Pretty cool right! The aliens gave it to me as a gift." Tucker says before hopping on. "Theres no second seat, so just hold on." Tucker says, to which Sora jumps and holds onto on of the sides.
"Do you have a plan?" Sora asks as Tucker moves the vehicle to watch the battle. He sees The reds and Caboose attempt to fire on CT, but they miss and their jeep stops for some reason. The mongoose then has them dead to rights until Tucker calls out.
"Hey assholes!" He yells. "Yaaaaaaaaa!" He screams as he jumps off the ridge, aiming to colide with the enemy but missing and landing in a small temple structure. "Fuck." Is all he can say.
"Cannons charged." Caboose announces.
"Okay then fuck it shoot em." Sarge orders. Caboose does just that and sucessfully hits the target.
"Uh, Sarge. What are those?" Grif asks, point towards more shadowy creature appearing out of nowhere.
Tucker and Sora then emerge from their hole.
"Hey guys, sorry about that." Tucker says. He then notices the heartless. "God damn it, where do these things keep coming from?"
"You know these things? Cause they don't look like sand fleas." Sarge says.
"Sora says these things are basically demons and that we should kill cause they're dangerous." Tucker explains.
"How do you know about these things?" Grif asks.
"Uh, the heartless? Not important. What we need to do is get rid of them quickly." Sora explains.
"No can do. We need to get CT first. But that wont stop us from running over a few on the way." Sarge says.
"Yah, those aliens are keeping him at bay for the time being. We should help them." Tucker says before heading off after them with Sora. The reds and Caboose follow him, crushing heartless with their vehicles as they go, until they eventually cut him off after the aliens are done stalling him.
"There he is!" Caboose exclaims.
"You guys follow him, we'll cut him off." Tucker says before he drives in a different direction.
"We can't lose Church!" Caboose exclaims.
"We won't!" Tucker calls to him.
"You always say that but we always do!" Caboose exclaims. Despite the seriousness of the situation, Sora found the twos exchange kind of cute. As the reds and Caboose chase CT, Sora and Tucker watch from their vehicle from aways away, little by little getting ahead of CT.
"Only one shot at this." Tucker says to himself.
"Hitting him head on won't do anything!" Sora exclaims to Tucker but it is too late. Tucker has already made a big jump, headed in CTs path. Just as it hits the ground, Tucker jumps out, activates his energy sword, and stands in front of CTs oncoming jeep. The reds fire again and miss, while their jeep stalls again. Sora the watches the epic display unfold.
"Gotta time this... now!" Tucker side steps and slashes CTs jeep causing it to stop and, after a few seconds, explode.
"Whoa!" both Grif and Sora exclaim. "Tucker look! Hes still alive!" Grif warns as Caboose and Sora head towards the wreaked jeep in hopes of finding Church.
"I'll bet CT, you guys find Church." Tucker calls to them.
"Grif, help me form a small offensive line. Theres still a few more of those heartless things." Sarge orders him.
"Why? They don't seem to be a problem." Grif complains.
"Why don't you go up to one and find out. Maybe give it a big hug." Sarge suggests.
"Alright, fine." Grif complains as he gets out of the jeep and readys his battle rifle.
Meanwhile, Sora and Caboose reach the wreakage.
"Church!" Sora calls out as he looks about.
"Church! Where are you!" Caboose yells.
"Uhhh." They hear a voice. They see Church lying on the ground. "What the? What happened. I remember green..." He goes on.
"One of CTs men shot you and he tried to get away with you. But don't worry, your safe now." Sora assures.
"Yeah... Where is this CT?" He asks.
"Tucker is going after him." Caboose exclaims.
"Right... uh we should help Tucker." Church suggests.
"Yeah, lets go." Sora says before the three head off. Sora saw Tucker go up some ramp to get to the top of a temple, so he leads the others to it. As they reach it Church then floats in a different direction. "Church, Tucker is this way." Sora tells him.
"Go that way then. I have an idea." Church says as he continues on.
"You guys sure like not telling each other your plans." Sora says to Caboose as they run up the ramp.
"Yeah... you get used to it." Caboose says. The two then arrive to see CT holding Tucker at gun point. Sora gets in his combat ready stance while Caboose just stands like Caboose. Luckily, CT hadn't noticed them yet.
"Sorry, you'll never know." CT says, like he and Tucker were talking earlier. At that moment Church then floats up beside Tucker.
"Hey whats up." Church greets.
"What in the hell is that thing?!" CT exclaims. At this Church's eye starts to glow red. "Oh... son of a-" CT never finishes as he is blasted by Church's laser.
"I am not a thing! My name is Leonard Church and you will fear my laser face!" Church exclaims.
"Ohhhoho, hell yeah! You just got fucked up!" Tucker exclaims.
"Woah! That was really awesome." Caboose says.
"You don't need to tell me." Sora agrees.
"Church how did you do that?" Tucker asks as the reds show up, finished with their heartless killing spree.
"I don't really know, I just got really mad and it just kinda, y'know, happened." Church explains.
"Can you do it again? Like, to the yellow guy or something?" Tucker asks.
"I guess... I'm not really sure." Church replies.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Sarge states.
"For once Sarge, you and I agree." Grif says.
"Relax guys. I'm sure he won't use it on you." Sora assures them.
"That reminds me! We need to get you the red army manual. To learn all the evils of the blue scum and how to stop em!" Sarge exclaims.
"That can come latter. Lets get back into the temple and close it for good." Tucker says.
"Um guys." Caboose says, looking down at the temple, seeing aliens gathering around it. "I think we might have a problem with that."
Everyone else comes to see what he's talking about.
"Oh..." Is all Sora can says.
"Well, that don't look to good." Sarge says.
