A/N: I do not own Ben 10 or Red vs Blue. This is just for fun.
Chapter 1
(Sometime Between Season 5 and 6 of Red vs Blue)
Blood Gulch aka a hot box canyon in the middle of nowhere. Currently occupied by two opposing teams of soldiers…well, more like two groups of idiotic misfits with no actual reason to be fighting each other. Red Team and Blue Team aka the Reds and Blues. The teams were currently at a truce as they finished their latest misadventure which ended with the apparent loss of Texas "Tex", a Freelancer, and former girlfriend of Blue Team's leader, who was hired to help Blue Team.
The Reds and Blues were currently standing on top of Blue base. On Red team is the red armored Staff Sargent…uh…Sarge, the gruff leader of the team. Next is the maroon armored Private Richard "Dick" Simmons, the resident nerd and kiss-ass of red team. The orange armored, Private Dexter Grif, is the fat lazy do-nothing slacker. The soldier in Pin-I mean lightish red armor was Private Franklin Delano Donut, the flamboyant and friendliest member of the team. Finally, the brown armored Lopez, a Spanish speaking robot and the mechanic of the team.
On Blue team is the cobalt armored Private Leonard P. Church, the always angry de facto leader of the Blues. The soldier in teal…turquoise? Aquamarine? Aqua armor is Private First Class Lavernius Tucker, the perverted self-proclaimed ladies' man. The soldier in blue armor is Private Michael J. Caboose, the idiotic but friendly member of blue team. Finally, the yellow armored Private Kaikaina "Sister" Grif, the sex-crazed idiot younger sister of Dexter Grif.
The final soldier in purple armor is Medical Officer Private Frank "Doc" DuFresne, a pacifist medic who was once possessed by the rogue A.I. Omega "O'Malley". While neither Red nor Blue, Doc tends to be affiliated with the Blues.
From left to right: Sarge, Donut, Grif, Simmons, Church, Tucker, Caboose, Sister and Doc are watching Lopez use his tools to repair the Blue's teleporter. The sound of a wrench could be heard as Lopez worked.
"Aw yeah, that's it Lopez!" Donut cheered. "Way to bend over and work those nuts! Grab that shaft! Give 'em a good screw!"
[Dear God, why can't he just stay dead?] Lopez complained in Spanish, knowing that the others could not understand him.
"I still don't get how it keeps breaking." Tucker said, "I mean, not that's it's ever worked right before, but it's even worse than usual."
Simmons leaned over Lopez's shoulder to examine the teleporter.
"Hmm That's strange, it looks like someone's been taking parts out of it, but who would do that?" Simmons asked.
"Caboose!" Church accusingly shouted at the blue idiot.
"Tucker did it." Caboose quickly said.
"Oh bullshit!" Tucker shouted. "I was with Sister while we were in middle of some important weekend planning." Tucker chimed in
"Yeah, like finding a good spot to get it on in this bitch." Sister bluntly said, much to the embarrassment of her brother.
"Wait what?" Grif said in disgust and shock at his sister's statement.
"Actually, that girly grey guy just gave me some ideas for what we could do later on." Sister added.
"Bow chicka bow wow" said Tucker.
"Hey!" Donut shouted, very offended.
"Yeah." Tucker said "We also haven't decided yet who's going to be on top first before the other has a turn to get off from-"
"OH, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! PLEASE STOP!" Grif desperately begged.
"Yeah, knock it off ya you dirty blues!" Sarge shouted "While I normally enjoy the sight of a Grif being tortured mentally and/or physically, I won't have any disgusting images of any indecent Blues burned into my brain or the brains of the more valued members of Red Team!"
"Thank you, sir." Simmons sucked up.
"Aw. Thanks, Sarge that's so sweet and considerate of you." Donut said.
"Don't ruin the moment Donut." Sarge grumbled with a sour tone. "And don't EVER use the words sweet or considerate in a sentence when describing me."
"Yeah seriously, enough with the mushy talk." Tucker said.
"Stay out of this Blue!" Sarge harshly said.
"Yeah, that's enough out of you!" Simmons joined in.
"Don't say another fucking word Tucker! I do not want to hear you speak right now!" Grif angerly said.
"Grif, stop being such an ass when it come to my love life!" Sister snapped.
"Stop being so public about shit I don't wanna know!" Grif snapped back.
"WHY ARE WE ALL SHOUTING!? CAN I SHOUT TOO?" Caboose randomly shouted "Because you know. I like to be included in things." He spoke normally.
(x5) "SHUT UP CABOOSE!" Sarge, Church, Grif, Simmons and Tucker shouted at the blue idiot.
"Jeez, all this hostility and aggression" Doc said. "Let's all just calm down and do some deep breathing exercises. In through the nose." Doc inhales "And out through the mouth." Doc exhales.
"Doc shut up." Tucker said "No one's interested in your-"
"In through the nose." Donut inhales "And out through the mouth." Donut exhales "Hey I feel better already! Thanks Doc."
"You're welcome" Doc said in appreciation "See, its wonder what deep breaths can do for the mind."
"Can it with the hippie dippy hogwash Doc!" Sarge snapped "And that goes double for you Donut! I will not have no dirty Blue activities practiced on my team!"
"I'm technically not Blue." Doc said.
"Aw come on Sarge." Donut said, "A good blow from the mouth never hurt anyone."
Everyone groaned in disgust except for Sister and Caboose.
"Oh, that sounds hot!" Sister said.
"Sis, please don't." Grif begged.
Everyone hears long and loud inhale and turn to see source of the sound, which was Caboose.
"Am I doing it right?" Caboose asked while trying to hold his breath.
"Caboose you don't have to hold your breath that long." Doc said in concern.
"Now hold on let's not interrupt him, heh heh" Sarge said in amusement.
"EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Church angerly shouted.
Everyone stayed silent until Church finally calmed down, then they noticed Caboose was still holding his breath, and looking like he might pass out.
Church sighed in annoyance.
"Breath Caboose." Church irritably said.
Caboose exhaled loudly.
"Aw, thank god!" Caboose said in relief "I was starting to see spots."
Church sighed again as he addressed the group.
"Now who would be taking parts from out teleporter?" Church calmly asked.
"Well, uh..." Sarge said suspiciously "Certainly no one building a secret Physical Location Object Transfer Device." He said as everyone looked at him in confusion. "Sometimes referred to as a 'PLOT Device' for short…Not that I would know." He quickly finished.
Tucker, Simmons, Grif and Doc all had deadpan expressions under their helmets (Church would have had one if he still had a face).
"Teleporter, schmeleporter" Grif said with no interest in the problem "I already tried telling 'em all you have to do is turn the power off, then turn it back on. Problem will fix itself. Its proven science, like uh global cooling."
Church shook his head while Simmons rolled his eyes under his helmet.
"You're an idiot" Simmons muttered.
Everyone heard Lopez put down his tools and got up to address the group.
[Ok, I've managed to replace both missing and faulty components.] Lopez said in Spanish. [However, I have encountered an anomaly. Whatever tampering you idiots did, the teleporter is currently stuck on a set coordinates to an unknown destination. So, I would recommend you not activate the teleporter under any circumstances until I can discover how to erase the coordinates from its programming.] Lopez finished, though he wondered why he bothered at this point.
"Muchos amigos quin wasabi heh, heh" Sarge said as if he could understand Spanish, then turned to Simmons. "Simmons active the teleporter."
[I just told you not to do that.] Lopez said with an irritated tone.
"Your right Lopez, the Blues definitely owe us for this one." Sarge said "Now fire it up Simmons."
"Yes Sir." Simmons complied.
[Ok, I'm just going to stand a few feet behind the faulty teleporter and watch you all kill yourselves.] Lopez said in resignation, now hoping that they kill themselves.
The teleporter activated and a green gateway appeared as usual.
"Well, it seems to be working fine." Simmons summarized.
"Alright then problem solved, are we done? I have a two o'clock nap to make and I won't be late for it." Grif said.
"Shut it numb nuts" Sarge growled at Grif then turned to Blue Team. "Alright dirt bags, a deal's a deal. Now our payment for devoting time and resources to helping with your problem."
"Fine." Church said, just wanting to be done with this, and turned to Tucker "Alright Tucker get on with it."
"Aw, come on why me?" Tucker complained.
"Because it wouldn't be funny if Sister did it, and Caboose is…well Caboose." Church explained.
"Yes, I am blue." Caboose obliviously said.
"What about you or Doc?" Tucker asked.
"Doc is not part of either team. Also, as the leader, I order you to do it, unless I have to be more persuasive." Church said as he pointed his pistol at Tucker.
"Fuckberries, fine." Tucker complained as he walked in front of the teleporter to address the group.
"Well, we're waiting." Sarge impatiently demanded.
Tucker sighed.
"I just wanted to let everyone know that I suck." Tucker said, very embarrassed that he's doing this, especially in front of Sister, who was quietly giggling.
"Wait, hang on." Sarge interrupted as everyone turned and were surprised to see Sarge holding a mic boom pole and Simmons setting up an old video camera on a tripod. "We ready?" Sarge asked Simmons, who nodded. "Good." Sarge turned back to Tucker and lowered the microphone closer to his face. "I'm sorry, could you repeat that again."
"Motherfucker! Church!" Tucker whined.
"Just do it!" Church snapped.
Tucker groaned as he started again.
"I said I like everyone to know that I su-!"
"Louder!" Grif interrupted.
"I SAID I SUCK." Tucker said louder.
The Reds, Sister, Doc and even Church could be heard snickering.
"And?" Grif asked in amusement, enjoying the chance to get revenge.
Tucker glared at the fat orange soldier (though no one could see it) as he kept going.
"…And I'm a total girl." Tucker could hear snorting from the others.
"Heh, what else." Simmons said while quietly laughing.
"And I like to put ribbons in my hair." Tucker continued to say loudly. He hesitated as he knew the last part he had to say.
"Come on already." Sarge demanded with a grin under his helmet.
Tucker looked down in humiliation then rose his head to finish.
"And I want to kiss all the boys!" Tucker brought his head down again unable to look at anyone as they continued to laugh.
"Ha, ha, ha! Why are we laughing?" Caboose laughed but suddenly stopped and asked, not understanding what's so funny.
"Ha, ha! Best payment of all time!" Sarge laughed.
"Heh, couldn't agree more sir." Simmons snicked.
"Not so funny being on the other end, is it?" Grif said in satisfaction.
"Ha, ha, ha!" Sister continued laugh but then suddenly stopped. "Actually, that be kind of hot to see! You should definitely kiss that girly grey guy." the color-blind soldier pointed to Donut.
"What?!" Tucker exclaimed, his face beet red under his helmet, as that made the others laugh harder, except Donut."
"Hey!" Donut said offended. "Why do you all keep calling me girly?!"
Unknown to the group, the portal sparked, and the green portal became yellow. Lopez was the only one who noticed.
[Hey, the teleporter is starting to malfunction like I said it would.] Lopez tried to warn.
"Are you serio- Ha! Ha! Ha! Are you seriously asking that question?" Grif asked after he got his laughing under control.
Lopez noticed that the portal started to look like a swirling vortex.
[Seriously, back away from the portal.] Lopez warned again but to no avail.
"Just because I wear lightish red armor, doesn't mean everything I do is girly!" Donut defended.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! It's pink! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Simmons said as he continued laughing.
"LIGHTISH RED!" Donut argued.
The wind started to pick up as the vortex started to suck in dust.
[Well, I tried.] Lopez gave up trying to warn the idiots and ran behind the portal to disable it.
"I agree Lopez, that should be the next payment for our repair services when the Blues inevitably break something else." Sarge as he looked up and noticed the vortex. "Uh, is that supposed to happen?" he asked as everyone else noticed.
[What do you think old man?!] Lopez said in annoyance as he tried to shut it down.
"Woah, what the fuck?!" Church shouted, "I thought you assholes were supposed to fix this shit?!"
"Fuck! I did that for nothing!?" Tucker angrily said.
"Not for nothing. Not I got a few more naughty ideas for later." Sister said.
"Uh…Bow chicka bow wow?" Tucker said, though not sure if he liked the sound of that or not.
"Seriously Kaikaina! This is not the time!" Grif shouted.
"Dex, quit sounding like mom and dad!" Sister complained.
"Um, is it running time now?" Caboose asked fearfully.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Caboo-AHHHH" Tucker shouted as the vortex became powerful enough to lift the nearby aqua soldier off his feet and pulled him in, and he vanished within it.
"Oh Shit! Tucker!" Church shouted in shock.
"Tucker!" Sister shouted in horror and tried to get closer but Grif held her back.
"Are you crazy, we need to get away from that thing!" Grif yelled.
[That's what I've been saying this whole fucking time! Now run assholes!] Lopez yelled in Spanish.
"Run!/Retreat!" Church and Sarge shouted as the Reds and remaining Blues tried to run while Lopez was safely behind the teleporter, still trying to disable it.
Before any of them could get away, the vortex became strong enough that no one could move out of the way of the portal.
Sarge was next to be sucked in.
"AH! DAG NABBIT" Sarge shouted as he got pulled in. Unfortunately, Church was behind him and the red leader slammed into the blue leader, both now flying into the vortex.
"OW! SON OF A BITCH!" Church shouted as they both vanished.
"SARGE! /CHUCRH!" Simmons and Caboose shouted in horror as their leaders were now gone.
"Church! I'll save you!" Caboose now ran toward the vortex, knocking Simmons over.
"Dammit Caboose!" Simmons yelled as he tried to get back up but was now being dragged to the vortex.
"Caboose, wait!" Donut yelled as he tried to stop Caboose by grabbing onto his arm. But due to the increasing strength of the vortex's, plus Caboose's abnormal strength, Donut got dragged along by Caboose "AHH Caboose Stop!"
"I'm coming Church!" Caboose shouted as he disappeared into the vortex with a screaming Donut in tow.
"Donut! Caboose! No!" Doc shouted in vain as he lost his balance but managed to grab on to the edge of the base to prevent himself from being sucked in. "Oh my gosh! I'm not qualified for this type of situation!" He exclaimed as he hanged on for dear life.
"Who the fuck would be!?" Grif snapped, but then noticed Simmons was getting dragged away from them. "Simmons!" Grif yelled as he tried to grab Simmons' hand, but his fingers slipped through his hand and Simmons went hurtling inot the vortex.
"Grif!" Simmons shouted before disappearing.
"No! Simmons!" Grif yelled in dismay.
Sister was about to get near the edge when she tripped.
"Crap!" Sister shouted as she was dragged past Grif.
"Sis!" Grif shouted and managed to grab her hand but he also was getting pulled in "SHIT!" Thankfully, he was close enough to grab the edge of the base near Doc. Grif grip on his sister's hand was strong, but his grip on the edge was not as he could feel himself slipping. "Lopez! For the love of God! Shut the fucking thing off!"
[I'm trying fatass! It's not responding!] Lopez responded while urgently working.
Grif was losing his grip. "Shit, hurry I'm slipping!" He then looked to Doc then to Sister "Sis, grab hold of Doc's foot!"
"Okay! But I want it clear that I do not have a foot fetish!" Sis shouted.
"Just do it!" Grif snapped.
Sister managed to grab on to Doc's ankle just as Grif lost his grip on the edge. The moment Grif got pulled closer to the vortex, his grip on Sister's hand slipped.
"Shit!" Grif yelled in panic.
"Dex!" Sister said in panic.
Fortunately, Grif managed to grab Sister's ankle.
"Oh shit, that was close!" Grif said in relief.
Thanks to the combined weight of Sister and Grif, Doc was now struggling to keep his grip on the edge.
"(strained grunting) Guys (grunting) I don't think I can hold on for much longer." Doc said fearfully.
The Grif siblings had panicked looked under their helmets as they noticed how much Doc was struggling to hold on.
"Please don't let go!" Sister said.
"I'm trying, but it's too strong!" Doc said.
"Lopez!" Grif shouted.
[A few more seconds! Not that you can understand anyway!] Lopez responded in Spanish.
Grif looked to Lopez working, then the vortex. He looked up to the struggling Doc and finally his sister, who was using both hands to keep hold of Doc's foot. Grif sighed in resignation as he knew Doc couldn't hold them both.
"Kaikaina." Grif said, gaining the attention of his sister.
"Bro?" Sister said in concern.
"I know I don't say this lot and while you may be a pain in the ass… but you're my pain in the ass sister, and I love you."
"Dexter…what are you…"
"Goodbye." Grif said as he let go.
"DEX!" Sis yelled as he was sucked inot the vortex and vanished.
A few seconds passed by before Lopez spoke.
[Shutting it down now!]
With less weight, Doc managed to hold on long enough until the portal shut down. Doc and Sister collapsed to the ground, eventually they got back up only to look at the teleporter and realized how empty Blood Gulch was without the constant chattering of the Reds and Blues.
Sister looked at the teleporter in despair.
Doc placed a hand on her shoulder.
Lopez tilted his head down, while he'd never admit it, he had grown fond of the red and blue idiots.
"Dex…" Sister said sadly.
Everything was black for a moment.
"Grif…Grif…"
"Simmons?" Grif muttered as his senses started to come back to him.
"Grif! Grif! Wake up Grif" Simmons voice got louder, and he could feel someone's hand on his chest trying to shaker him awake.
"Ugh Simmons, is that you?" Grif muttered as his vison started to come back and saw Simmons kneeling over him.
"Church! Church!" Grif could hear the panicked yelling of Caboose in the background. "Where are you Church?!"
"Oh Grif! Thank God you're alright." Simmons said in relief.
"Owwww" Grif moaned as his sense of feeling returned and everything hurts from landing hard on the ground. "If this is what being alright feels like I rather-" He stopped as he took note of their surroundings…and he did not like the look of it. "What the hell?"
Their location could be only described as the stuff of nightmares as there were floating rocks and other strange objects floating around and the atmosphere had an eerie and dreadful feel with the blotted combination of colors such as black, white, red and purple.
Currently Grif was lying on the ground with Simmons kneeling beside him. In front of them was Donut still lying on the ground and Sarge was kneeling beside him, with his shotgun in his hands as he turned his head to observe the area. Caboose was further up to the edge of whatever rock they were on and kept shouting for the missing Church, whose sniper rifle he held in his arms. Tucker was also nowhere to be seen. There was also debrief of crates and weapons all over the ground.
"Church!" Caboose yelled "Church! Where are you Church!?Can you hear me!? If not, don't worry. I'll find you!"
"Can it bluetard!" Sarge said as he helped Donut to his feet, and Caboose turned to Sarge. "Your gonna give away our position."
"What position?" Grif grunted as Simmons helped him to his feet.
"Where are we?" Simmons asked in fear as he looked around the nightmare terrain.
"And how are we looking so good!" Donut cheerfully said as he examined himself.
The other Reds looked at the pin…ligtish red soldier and noticed with surprise at how much more…animated he looked. This caused them to look at themselves and realize that they too at the same difference in appearance.
"I feel less restricted like I'm ready burst from sheer-"
"Can it pinky pants." Sarge snapped and regained the attention of the remaining Reds and Blues. "I don't know where we are, but something about this place just feels me with anticipation that a fight is coming our way."
"What do you mean?" Grif asked.
"Just something about this place makes me feel…like every moment is a constant fight for survival and only the strong can prevail." Sarge said with a hint of joy "Why, it's like just breathing is for the survival of the fittest." Sarge's tone stared to sound happier. "It actually gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside that just makes me want to smile and I don't know what it is." He almost sounded like he was tearing up.
"You mean happiness?" Simmons asked.
"It's disgusting." Sarge replied.
"But what happened to Church and Tucker?" Caboose said as his grip tightened on the Blue leader's sniper rifle.
"Since most of us landed together, it's possible that their somewhere nearby and probably unconscious." Simmons surmised.
"Or dead." Grif said.
"Grif!" Simmons chastised.
"What?" Grif asked "We were all thinking it. I just said it out loud."
"Don't worry Caboose." Donut said as he placed friendly hand on Caboose's shoulder. "We'll help look you for them, right guys?" he asked the other Reds.
"Of course, we will!" Sarge said, surprising Grif and Simmons. "With the sense of danger lurking in this place, we could no doubt be attacked by ungodly abominations at any time. Grif can only be used as a human shield so many times before we need backups, which is what the Blues will be."
"Wow, how thoughtful of you." Grif sarcastically said.
"Aw, thanks Reds. I'm sure Church will appreciate it." Caboose said gratefully.
"I wouldn't count on it. I'm pretty sure he'd rather be as far away from us as possible." Grif commented.
"That may very well be the case." Simmons agreed.
"Alright men, listen up." Sarge said "We need to reckonoider, emphasis on onoider. Let's gather up all the weapons and supplies that came here with us then start our search for the dirty Blues."
"Yes sir." Simmons said.
"Whatever." Grif lazily said.
At first, there was nothing but static.
"Church" a voice said as Church started to come to. "Church!"
"Ugh, what happened? Where am I?" Church muttered, as all he saw was static as his hearing adjusted.
"Church!" came the panicked voice of Tucker.
"Tucker?" Church muttered as the static faded and his vision returned. He got back to his feet and took note of his surroundings.
"What the fuck is this place?" Church said as he looked at the nightmare terrain then looked around for Tucker, but he was nowhere to be seen. "Where the hell's Tucker? Where the hell is everyone else? Not that I want to find them but…" He said to himself until he was altered by the terrified screaming of Tucker from above.
"AHHHHH!" Something hit the ground and kicked up dust around Church "Owwww" a familiar voice moaned in pain.
"Tucker?" Church asked as the dust cleared and saw the aqua soldier, who's armor was currently black, was lying on the ground in pain. "Tucker, what the hell happened? Where are we?"
"Church…" Tucker struggled to say as he raised his head. "Behind you…" Tucker's head collapsed back on the ground to hurt to keep it raised.
"What?" Was all Church said as a grey tentacle suddenly wrapped around his waist. He instinctively left his robot body before it was hoisted into the air.
"What the fuck?!" Ghost Church said in surprise as he turned around to see what took his body. "Aw crap…"
ROOAARRRRRR
The Reds salvaged what they could from the debris while Caboose stood next to Donut. The blue soldier stared out into the hellish landscape, hoping to see any signs of his best friend…and Tucker too…probably.
"Don't worry Caboose, we'll find them as soon as we're ready to go." Donut assured the Blue.
"You really think so Mr. Muffin man?" Caboose asked.
"I know so." Donut said "While I'll bet they're looking for us right now as we spea-"
"AHHHHHHHH!" The sound of someone screaming caught the attention of the soldiers.
"What the devil?" Sarge said as something hit the ground near the edge the floating rock, kicking up dust, as the soldier grouped up to investigate.
The Reds now sporting individual weapons. Sarge still held his shotgun, Simmons now carried a rocket launcher, Grif had the standard assault rifle, and Donut carried two pistols, but he also had grenades attached to his hips. Frag grenades on his right and plasma grenades on his left.
The dust cleared and they saw a black armored soldier, they almost though it was Tex until they heard a male voice speak. A familiar angry voice.
"OW! Goddammit, that hurt like a motherfucker! I forgot how much it sucks to have an actual body." Came the voice of Church as the soldier got back to his feet.
"Church!" Caboose shouted in joy as he bear-hugged the Blue leader. "We found you! I'm so happy to see you!"
Bones could be heard cracking as Caboose was still hugging Church.
"Ow! Caboose, get the fuck off me!" Church snapped.
"OK!" Caboose happily complied.
"Why is your armor all black?" Grif asked.
"And how are we hearing bones cracking? My robots ain't that life-like." Sarge asked as he noticed that this did not look like the robot body he built for Church.
"What?" Church looked at himself "Oh, right. Hurrgahgahgahgah" Church shook, and his Ghost form emerged from the body he was possessing, resulting in the black armored soldier falling to his knees.
"Ow, why does my back hurt all of a sudden?" The voice of Tucker came from the soldier as he started to pick himself off the ground, but then noticed the color of his armor. "Goddammit, seriously! It still does this with my armor!? What the hell is this black stuff and why is it only me!?" Tucker complained as once again, the teleporter covered his armor in soot-like substance.
"Oh, hey Tucker." Caboose said with less enthusiasm than he did with Church.
"Huh, well that was easy, mission accomplished." Grif said.
"But we didn't actually do any searching yet." Simmons pointed out.
"I know, it's the best kind of mission. The one where we don't do anything and the problem fixes itself, just how I like it." Grif countered.
"Grrr, as much as I hate to see Grif and Blues happy, I am happy to have the spare cannon fodder." Sarge said.
"Hey Tucker, we were just going to come find you guys." Donut greeted more pleasantly.
"Well, you could've started like five minutes ago." Ghost Church complained.
"Why, and what happen to your body?" Simmons asked.
"Hold on, everyone quiet." Sarge said making everyone look to him. "Do y'all hear that?"
Everyone was silent as they tried to listen for whatever he was talking about. Grif was the first to speak up.
"I don't hear anyth-"
ROAR
He was interrupted by that sound of animal-like noises.
"Oh! Think, I heard someone say ROAR!" Caboose said idiotically.
"Ah shit, not again." Ghost Church said.
"Crap, how'd they find us so fast!?" Tucker said in panic.
"What? Who found us?" Simmons asked.
Before anyone else could speak, a grey tentacle shot up from below the edge and wrapped around Tucker's waist, alarming the group.
"Oh fuckberries. Not agAIIINNNN!" Tucker managed to say before the owner of the tentacle shot up into the air with Tucker.
The creature that grabbed Tucker was a large winged grey beast with no eyes and fanged teeth. In place of where arms would be were two long tentacles, the right one was wrapped around the struggling Tucker while the left was revealed to be holding Church's robot body. The lower half of its body was a collection of tentacles, two bat-like wings on its back and some sort of quills on its back. There was some sort of gills on its neck. Suffice to say, the Reds and Blues were disgusted and terrified by its appearance.
"Great Scott!" Sarge said in alarm.
"Holy Shit!" Simmons shouted.
"Jesus Fucking Christ!" Grif shouted. "What the hell is that thing!?" he asked Ghost Church.
"Do I look like I have a fucking clue!?" Ghost Church snapped "It just showed up and attacked while we were picking ourselves off the ground!"
"It's horrifying!" Donut whined in fear "Make it go away!"
"Guys!" Tucker shouted from above as the creature swung him back and forth. "Do something!"
"Oh, wow that looks fun, can I have a ride next?!" Caboose said.
"Caboose, shut up and hold still." Ghost Church said and ran to Caboose and possessed him. "Hurrgahgahgahgah" Caboose shook and muttered before Church took control. "Ugh great, just when I thought I was done coming in here." Church/Caboose complained as he readied his sniper rifle.
"Bow chicka bow wow!" Tucker said despite being swung around like a rag doll.
"Shut up! Don't be gross right now!" Church/Caboose shouted as he aimed his scope at the tentacle holding Tucker.
"Woah, woah! Hold up, don't let Church take the shot." Tucker pleaded from above.
"Hm, sounds like it will end badly for the Blue." Sarge muttered "Hehehe fire away Casper the Angry Ghost."
"Alright…almost there… and got it!" Church/Caboose said as he fired a round only to completely miss as it zoomed passed the beast "Damn it!" He fired again, aiming for the mouth this time, only for the shot to go over its head. "Shit!" He fired again, this time for the neck but it went between its head and wing. "Fuck" He shot at the wings this time, but it missed. "Stop moving!" The beast was hardly moving, it just floated above them, not even attempting to dodge the shots, as it seemed perplexed by the situation. "Goddammit, this thing is fucking busted!" Church/Caboose complained as he threw his sniper rifle to the ground.
"You know, I'm starting to remember why you died so fast in Blood Gulch." Grif commented with a deadpan tone.
"Yeah, that was just embarrassing to watch." Simmons agreed.
"Hey, up yours Reds!" Church/Caboose flipped off the pair. "And I died because of Caboose, not because of my aim!"
"Tucker did it." Caboose took control for a moment to deflect blame.
"Shut up Caboose!" Tucker yelled from the air.
"Well, as much as I enjoy the sight of Blues dying and humiliating themselves, we currently have a common enemy that needs to be dealt with pronto." Sarge said then turned to the ligtish red member of Red Team. "Donut, let 'em have it."
"Bow chicka bow wow!" Tucker shouted.
"Don't worry guys I'll give it to him really good, and I'll do it right in the mouth." Donut said, making the others groan in response. "Hey bitch! Down here!" Donut shouted and got the beast to look at him. "I got something for you!"
ROAR
The beast roared at the flamboyant soldier, who took a plasma grenade and chucked it, aiming for the mouth of the still roaring creature.
ROA-GUAAH
The grenade went into the beast 's throat, causing it to choke. After a few second…
BOOM
The grenade exploded in the creature's throat, and smoke came out of its mouth as it bellowed in agony, resulting in it dropping Tucker and Church's body. Both fell to the ground in front of the group, while the beasts body plummet into the bottomless abyss below.
"Three points ya dirty whore!" Donut yelled triumphantly.
"Excellent work Private Donut, way to show 'em how Red Team gets things done." Sarge praised.
"Wow, getting showed up by Donut, that must really sting, huh Church?" Grif teased.
"Oh, just shut up." Church/Caboose grumbled as his body shook. "Hurrgahgahgahgah." Ghost Church emerged from Caboose and possessed his robot body. "Ah, that's better." Church said as he got up and picked up his sniper rifle while Tucker was getting back up.
"I think I'm gonna puke in my helmet." Tucker complained. "Why didn't you guys do that first?"
"You're asking why Sarge let a Blue suffer until the last possible second?" Grif replied.
"Good point." Tucker grumbled.
"Wait a minute." Simmons spoke up and everyone looked at him. "Tucker, earlier you said they."
(x9) ROAR
More roaring was heard but it sounded like there was more than one creature roaring.
"Aw crap." Church complained.
"Oh shit, right." Tucker suddenly remembered.
Suddenly, nine creatures shot up from the abyss and circled the Reds and Blues.
Grif looked to Simmons, no one needed to see his face to know Grif had a deadpan look under his helmet.
"You just had to say something didn't you?" Grif rhetorically asked.
"EEP! I didn't think it be so sudden!" Simmons panicked.
"Quickly men, form a circle!" Sarge ordered as everyone got together to face off against the circling creatures. "We make our stand here!"
Starting on Sarge's left was Church, Grif, Tucker, Donut, Caboose and finally Simmons on his right.
"Here Tucker, you might need these." Donut handed one of his pistols to Tucker along with some grenades.
"Thanks." Tucker said in appreciation as he checked the pistol and turned the safety off. "Hey, you mind sticking with Caboose?" Tucker asked as he motioned his head to the unarmed Blue.
"No problem." Donut said cheerily then turned to Caboose "Hey Caboose, just stay close to me, ok?"
"OK" Caboose said happily.
Sarge cocked his shotgun while everyone else aimed their weapons.
"Well boys, looks like today will be a good day to die!" Sarge shouted in enthusiasm.
"Can we please try and avoid that last part?" Grif pleaded.
"Second it." Simmons agreed.
"Ditto." Church said.
"Yeah, let's not die." Tucker said.
"No, it has to be today. For our ancestors!" Sarge declared as the beasts launched at the Reds and Blues. "Eat led ya freaks of nature! Yeeeeehaaaaa!" Sarge shouted as everyone fired their weapons.
Earth (Taking place after the events of the Original series and after the adventures of 11-year-old Ben during Omniverse.)
Bellwood "the Most Normal Town in America", though many strange happenings have occurred that contradict that title, specifically the sighting of alien heroes rescuing civilians, fighting criminals and alien invaders. Currently a rusted yellow RV was driving away from Bellwood and got on a dirt road, heading for the nearby forest. This mobile home was nicknamed the Rust Bucket and don't let its old worn-down looks fool you; this old girl still has a few surprises under the hood.
The Rust Bucket stops in the middle of a clearing. The side door opened to reveal a boy about 12-years-old with brown hair, green eyes, a white shirt with a black line going down the middle. His pants were dark green, white-black shoes, and on his left wrist was a bulky black watch with a green hourglass symbol in the middle. This is Ben Tennyson, the wielder of the Omnitrix, an alien device that can transform the wearer into a variety of alien lifeforms with the alien DNA stored within it.
As he stepped out of the Rust Bucket, a second person exited the vehicle. A 12-year-old girl with red hair and green eyes. She wore a light blue shirt with the head of a cat in the middle, white pants, and white shoes. This is Gwen Tennyson, cousin of Ben, and magic user, who can create energy constructs with her hands and perform variety of spells from a spell book she acquired from one of their enemies.
As she stepped out the final person exited. A sixty-two-year-old man with grey hair, dark eyes, and wore a red Hawaiian shirt with flowers on it. He also wore blue pants and brown shoes. This man is Max Tennyson, a retired Plumber, basically an intergalactic policeman, who as a hard time staying retired due to frequent encounters with extraterrestrial threats.
(A/N: It never says when and how they got the Omnitrix off Ben, all we know is that it happened sometime after he turned 11 and before he turned 15. For this story I'm saying he still had it when he was twelve but is considering taking it off at this point.)
"This is the place." Max spoke up as he pulled out a scanner and it immediately beeped. "The abnormal energy readings are stronger in this location." (AN: I have no clue what I'm saying. I'm not a science guy, I'm just bullcrapping an excuse for stuff to happen)
"What makes them so abnormal" Ben asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked around. "Everything looks fine to me."
"It's the same readings that occurs from a Null Void portal opening." Max said, surprising his grandchildren.
"Yeah, that would be bad." Ben said.
"You think." Gwen sarcastically said before turning to Grandpa Max "But how? I thought only a Null Void projector could open a portal."
"It's unusual but it could happen, especially if someone intentionally tampered with the fabric of time and space." Max explained.
"So, where's the portal?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, nothing here looks unusual to me." Gwen said.
"According to these readings the portal should open right about…" Max was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a yellow vortex, but instead of pulling things in, it was pushing back everything around it. "…now."
"Of course, it shows up right as we get here." Gwen said with a deadpan expression.
"Alright, time to kick alien butt." Ben said as he readied the Omnitrix.
Gwen hands lit up with a pink glow and got into a fighting stance, while Max pulled put out a futuristic handgun and aimed at the portal, anticipating danger to emanate from the portal.
For a moment nothing happened, then something emerged from the portal, the trio expected the most dangerous, most vicious creatures in the universe to emerge from the portal…only for what looked like a blue armored humanoid to jump out and land on its feet.
"Hello." It said with a cheery, almost childish, male voice, throwing the Tennyson's off guard, while his armor looked advanced, they were expecting something monstrous and much more threatening than this being, who was giving off a friendly vibe.
"Uh…hi?" Ben greeted not sure what to do as it-he didn't attack or make any threats like the typical bad guys they dealt with for two years. "Sorry, but who are you?"
"Ah, yes. My name is Caboose." The armored being, now known as Caboose, greeted the Tennyson's, who slightly relaxed as he wasn't an immediate threat but the portal behind him still remained.
"What kind of alien name is Caboose?" Gwen asked Max, who shrugged his shoulder, never hearing a name like that for an alien.
"What are your names?" Caboose asked.
"Um, hi Caboose my name's-"
"Don't tell him your name!" Gwen whispered loudly to Ben.
"What, why not?" Ben asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What if he's here for you and the watch?" Gwen explained "Right now he's being friendly but the moment he finds out who you are he could go berserk or something."
"She's right." Max said as he kept his weapon primed and ready to defend his grandchildren. "We don't know if he's as harmless as he sounds. It could probably be a trick to catch us off guard."
"Oh, come on how bad could he be?" Ben said quickly as he turned to the blue armored being. "Hi, I'm Ben Tennyson." He greeted with a smile and wave of his hand.
"(x2) BEN!" Gwen and Max shouted in shock and irritation as he just gave away who he was to a possibly hostile alien.
"This is my cousin Gwen." Ben pointed toward Gwen, who looked at Ben wit irritation and then gave the armored being a nervous smile and small hand wave. "And this is my grandpa, Max" Ben pointed toward Max, who face palmed at this situation.
The armored being looked at them for a few moments in silence.
"Ah, I see!" he suddenly said, "Hi Bane!" he said to Ben "Hi Wynn!" he said to Gwen "Hi Mox!" he said to Max "It's nice to meet you."
The Tennyson family stood there for a moment flabbergasted, but Ben couldn't help but snicker at Caboose's butchering of their names. Plus, seeing that Caboose had little reaction to hearing their names, he decided to take another gamble and see how far his luck will go.
"So, you're not here for the Omnitirx are you?" Ben asked, while holding up his wrist to show the alien watch. Gwen and Max glanced at Ben then looked to Caboose who just tilted head in confusion.
"What's a nonmatrix?" Caboose asked, surprising the trio as most non-earthlings they encounter have at least heard rumors of the Omnitrix. "Is that a Spanish watch? I already have a clock in my helmet-Oh Wait!" he suddenly exclaimed, startling the Tennysons "My clock's broken." He focused on Ben "You wouldn't happen to have a spare watch or know a good repairman? Maybe one with good deals, because I don't have armor insurance." He explained as if he was making any sense at all to the confused family.
"So…Caboose, if you're not here for the watch, then what are you doing here?" Gwen asked.
"Oh, I'm just standing…and talking…talking about standing…while standing." Caboose said, which caused Gwen and Max to deadpan while Ben snickered.
"I like this guy." Ben said with a smile.
"Of course, you would." Gwen muttered but couldn't fight a growing smile at how humorous this was starting to become.
"Caboose." Max said gaining the being's attention.
"Hello." Caboose cheerfully greeted again.
"Uh, hi." Max said, "Do you know why you were in the Null Void?" he asked but Caboose just stood there silent "Do you know what the Null Void is, Caboose?"
"Oh! Do you mean the scary place with the floating rocks and mean flying squid-dogs?" Caboose asked.
"…Yes, the scary place with flying squid-dogs." Max said, knowing that Caboose was talking about the Null Guardians. "Do you know why you were there?"
"Well, the teleporter at Blue Base was broken so my best friend, Church, called the Reds to come fix…wait." Caboose looked around himself "Church?" his moments started to become more panicked, and it started to make the Tennyson's nervous. "CHURCH!" he shouted, startling them, as he turned back to the portal "CHURCH! REDS! And Tucker." He exclaimed all but this Tucker's name, sounding like he was not worried about him as much as the others. "Hold on! I'll save you!" he shouted as he ran and jumped towards the portal.
"Caboose, wait!" Max shouted but it was no use.
Caboose looked like he was about to go through, until he was suddenly flung back, hitting a nearby boulder.
"Caboose!" Ben said in concern as they ran to the down armored man. "Caboose, are you okay?"
"Ben, he just got slammed into a giant boulder." Gwen said then suddenly Caboose stood up seemingly unharmed. "AHH What the heck!?"
"Oh, yeah I'm fine. I only landed on my head. I don't really use it that much." Caboose said as if nothing happened.
They stood there for a moment, still trying to process this, until they felt the portal pushing wind outward and turned back to it.
"Sound like something else is coming." Ben said.
"You think!" Gwen said.
Suddenly, something got shot out from the portal.
"AHHHHHH" Came the screaming of another armored person, like Caboose's armor but only pink. The Pink armored person landed hard on the ground. "Ow, I think I landed on my keys." The person whined as they got back to his feet.
"Donut!" Caboose said as he ran toward the pink man.
"…(x3) Donut?" the Tennysons said in disbelief.
"Seriously?" Gwen said with a perplexed look. "I mean Ben comes up with ridiculous names for his aliens, but this is just weird."
"Hey!" Ben took offense.
"Wait, it's not done." Max alerted.
Once again, the portal got more erratic and suddenly three more armored men got launched from it, landing next to Caboose and Donut. One was red and held what looked like a shotgun of an unknown model, the second was maroon with an unrecognizable rocket launcher, and the third was black with an unknown pistol and grenades attached to his hips, but half of them looked more alien.
"Leaping leptons!" exclaimed the red one with a gruff southern accent as he got back up. "That was a total mad house! But at least we managed to show those tentacled bastards what happens when you mess with the kick-ass soldiers of Red team."
"Sarge, were you having a different battle we weren't in?" the black one said as he got to his knees. "We only got two of them before the rest started tossing us around and chomping on us like chew toys."
"Ugh, Tucker's right sir." The marron said as he rose. "Most of our weapons didn't even stun them other than the rocket launcher and grenades, which only killed two because we got lucky and fired into their mouths."
"Bow chicka bow wow." The black one, Tucker said, getting confused and weirded out looks from the Tennysons.
"Dang it, Simmons!" Red, now known as Sarge said to marron, now known as Simmons. "Don't reveal to the enemy that our victories weren't as glorious as we described."
"Dude I was there. I didn't need Simmons to tell me!" Tucker said. "And I don't think we qualify as enemies at this point. I would say we're forced acquaintances with strong dislike of each other."
"Don't twist the glorious history of the Red Team with your Blue propaganda Thin Mint!" Sarge snapped.
"Bitch, my armor's aqua!" Tucker argued "At least I think, seriously how many shades of blue are there?" Tucker asked, confusing the Tennysons as his armor is currently black.
"Guys! You're here!" Caboose said as he hugged the four newcomers in a bone crushing hug, many were groaning in pain, making the kids, and even Max, lightly laugh.
"Caboose let go, you're crushing us to…death…uh" Simmons started but then noticed the Tennysons than looked around as Caboose put them down. "What the hell?"
"Where the Sam Hill are we now?" Sarge asked as he now noticed their surroundings.
"Who are the kids and the old fart?" Tuckers asked, making Max glare.
"And where can we get our own stylish clothing?" Donut said as he turned his attention to Gwen "Seriously girl, you got good taste in fashion." Donut complimented.
"Uh…thanks?" Gwen asked, not sure what to make of this situation. "If you don't mind me asking, who are you guys?"
"Who are we? WHO ARE WE?!" Sarge yelled in disbelief, making the family flinch. "What kind of question is that little lady?! We're soldiers of the glorious Red Army!" He pointed to himself, Donut and Simmons. "And these dirtbags are from the diabolical Blue Army." He pointed to Tucker and Caboose. "And Donut, don't complement someone who has the audacity to think that blue is a respectable color to wear!" He said to Donut, while Gwen raised an eyebrow at his ranting "And you!" Sarge pointed to Max. "Make up your mind! You're wearing red and blue, pick a side already!" Max just scratched the top of his head, not sure how to respond to any of this. "And you!" Sarge pointed to Ben, who flinched. "Hmmmm…" Sarge looked Ben over for a few more seconds "…Well son, you're not wearing blue, so I can respect that."
"Getting back on topic." Simmons said, gaining everyone's attention "Sarge is right, don't you guys know about the galactic civil war between the colonies of humanity?"
The Tennysons stared at the red and blue men in disbelief at this information.
"Civil War? Colonies?" Max said just to be sure he heard right, because as far as he knew only human plumbers and human-alien offspring have left earth frequently, and there have never been any human colonies established among around the galaxy. Most of humanity doesn't even know about the Plumbers or the galactic community.
"Yeah, and the Great War between humans and the aliens." Tucker added.
"Great War?" Gwen asked then looked to Grandpa Max, who just stared in disbelief at the information. "Wait, are you guys all human?" she asked.
"Yeah, duh." Tucker answered. "Why would you think we're not?"
"Where's Church?" Caboose asked with a concerned tone, gaining everyone's attention.
"Oh no! Grif's missing too." Simmons said.
"Oh no. What a shame, Grif and a Blue are gone." Sarge said with faux sadness. "Well, not everyone survives a hostile encounter with alien monsters. Let us pause for a moment of silence in respect for the dearly departed." Sarge was silent for a millisecond. "Alright, moments over! Now where were we? Ah yes, we were talking about the Great War, and the Red Blue Civil War-"
Sarge was interrupted by the portal, which launched out two Null Guardians before the portal closed. One held an overweight man in orange armor while the other Guardian held a man in cobalt armor.
"AHH Help!" Orange shouted.
"Let me go!" Cobalt shouted.
"Grif! / Church!" Simmons and Caboose shouted in concern.
"Drat. And here I thought the universe would kill two birds with one stone." Sarge complained.
The guardian holding Orange, Grif, swung him around while the other started biting Cobalt, Church, with its teeth.
"AHH I think I'm gonna be sick!" Grif shouted.
"Ow! Ow! Is someone going to do something or what!?" Church said angerly while the guardian tried biting through his armor.
Seeing this as his que to do something, Ben activated the Omnitrix, the sound gaining the attention of the Reds and Blues, who looked at the watch with curiosity.
"Alright this looks like a job for Four-Arms." Ben said as he twisted the dial to the silhouette of the alien he wanted. "It's Hero Time!" he slammed down the core. Ben was engulfed by a brilliant emerald light, forcing everyone to cover their eyes. Once the light died down, to say the Reds and Blues were shocked was an understatement.
In Ben's place was a velociraptor-like humanoid. It wore a black body suit with a white arrow pointing down in the center. It had a sharp pointed helmet and blue LED mask. Its arms and legs were blue, with sharp three fingered black talons for hands, spiked elbows and black spheres attached to its feet. A black and blue stripped tail also swung back and forth for a second before the LED mask lifted and revealed a blue face with black lips and black lines around its green eyes. A green and black Omnitrix dial was located on the center of its chest. This alien was named XLR8.
"Aw man, what do you have against Four-Arms?" XLR8 complained in his fast raspy voice, as he looked himself over. "Ugh, fine I can work with XLR8." His mask came back over his face and zoomed past the Reds and Blues in a blur before they could say anything.
In less than a second, XLR8 was under the guardian holding Church. He then jumped up towards the creature and proceeded to kick it under its neck at sonic speeds while in the air. The beast roared in pain, letting go of Church in the process. XLR8 was immediately back on the ground to catch Church bridal style and zoomed back to the Reds and Blues, placing the cobalt man on his feet near Caboose. Church stumbled for a minute before standing straight as he looked at the alien, apparently shocked by XLR8's appearance and display of speed.
For XLR8, timed slowed down as he zoomed towards the second creature and gained enough speed to leap over the beast's head and land on its back, grabbed the quills near its head, and yanked them upward. The beast jerked upwards in pain and dropped Grif, who was immediately caught by a waiting XLR8, and Kineceleran sped back to the group and placed the overweight soldier near Simmons. Now that both men were out of harm's way XLR8 zoomed back to the disoriented creatures grabbed onto the tentacle one that had Grif and used the appendage like a rope to swing himself upwards. He let go and landed on its back again and did the same the trick with the quills, but this time he yanked the quills to the direction of the other Guardian. The sudden spike of pain forced the commandeered Guardian to charge into the other beast, knocking it to the ground in a daze. The creature now started to fight back against the alien hero as it flew around erratically to shake off XLR8.
All the while, the Reds and Blues stared in stunned silence.
"Great Pecos Bill!" Sarge exclaimed and broke the silence of the group.
"Holy Shit!" Tucker yelled.
"What the Hell!?" Simmons shouted.
"Jesus Christ!" Grif shouted.
"What the FUCK is going on?!" Church shouted.
"Language!" Max shouted as he covered Gwen's ears.
"Oh wow! That was awesome!" Caboose said excitedly.
"Woah! So cool! How did he do that?" Donut said, equally excited as Caboose. He then noticed the other creature was starting to shake itself from its daze. "Um, guys, the other one is getting back up!" He alerted the group.
Gwen was first to act as she ran up to stand between the Guardian and the group.
"I got it!" she said as she activated her magic and her hands glowed pink. Before the Reds or Blues could respond, tendrils of pink energy shot from her hands and lassoed the beast. The tendril from her right hand wrapped around the beast's jaw, muzzling it, while the left wrapped around the middle of its body, and getting its wings caught in process. The beast was now grounded as it struggled to get its wings free.
"My God." Sarge said in astonishment.
"Woah! How are you doing that?!" Grif yelled in confusion.
"It looks like magic!" Donut exclaimed in excitement.
"Gasp!" Caboose gasped "Magic?! Are you a wizard!?" Caboose excitedly asked Gwen as she continued to restrain the creature while Max ran back to the Rust Bucket to grab something.
"Magic's not real!" Simmons said.
"I don't know it kinda looks like magic to me." Grif agreed with Donut.
"Don't be ridiculous, its scientifically impossible. There's got to be a reasonable explanation for this." Simmons said in denial.
"You mean like how there's a reasonable explanation for all the batshit crazy stuff that's happened to us so far?" Grif countered.
"He's got you there Simmons." Tucker said.
"Oh, shut up." Simmons said in annoyance.
"All of you shut up!" Church shouted in annoyance "Seriously, what the fuck is going on!?"
The beast continued to struggle, putting strain on Gwen's ability to restrain it.
"I-I can't hold it for much longer." Gwen strained to say as she started sweating.
"Hang on Gwen!" Max shouted as he came back to the group and stood next to Gwen and aiming a weapon, which Gwen immediately recognized as the Null Void Projector. He aimed for behind the Null Guardian and fired. The portal opened and began to suck in the beast. Gwen let go just as the beast was halfway in before it disappeared into the portal.
Roaring from above alerted the group to the other creature XLR8 was currently riding like a rodeo bull.
"Ben!" Max called out.
The masked Kineceleran turned his head to his grandpa, then noticed the portal and nodded in acknowledgement. He yanked the quills down toward the portal and the beast responded by jerking downward, getting caught in the pull of the portal.
XLR8 leaped off the beast but was too close to escape the pull of the portal. Thankfully, Gwen mustered up enough strength to create another energy tendril to grab her transformed cousin around his waist and kept XLR8 from being sucked in. The Guardian roared one more time before disappearing into the portal. After a few more seconds the portal vanished and Gwen brough her cousin closer to the group and put him down gently in front of them.
His masked lifted as he addressed the group.
"Everybody alright?" XLR8 asked the group, who were too stunned to answer, and XLR8 could just imagine the expressions under their helmets.
"That…was…AWSOME!" Caboose shouted raising his hands in the air. Causing Gwen to giggle a little and Grandpa Max to give a small smile.
"I'll take that as a yes." XLR8 said with a smile.
"Ok, I know I've said this a few times now, but seriously. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!" Church shouted in confused anger and startling the group. "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE?! WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE?!"
"Hey! Watch your language!" Max said as he covered Gwen's ears, and wising he could cover XLR8's ears as well.
"Oh, fuck you!" Church snapped, while XLR8 cringed at the man's crude language. "We're the ones who nearly got eaten by flying monsters and have no clue where we are! And getting rescued by an old man and his mutant kids just adds on to the insanity of our day!"
"You're on Earth dude." XLR8 spoke up, deciding not to take the 'mutant kids' comment personnel.
The Reds and Blues were in stunned for a moment.
"Wait, seriously? This is Earth?" Simmons asked in surprise.
"Yes." Gwen answered.
"Oh, thank God! I can finally get a real Chicago deep dish pizza!" Grif said in joy.
"Hell yeah! Definitely count me in." Tucker agreed.
"Oh wow, I can finally go shopping in Paris!" Donut spoke up.
"Oh! We can go to Disneyland!" Caboose said very excitedly.
Before anyone else could speak, everyone heard a shotgun cocking, and looked to see that Sarge was pointing his weapon at Church's head, which confused and irritated the cobalt armored man.
"Sarge? What the hell are you doing?" Church asked before Sarge's pushed the barrel of his shotgun closer to Church's helmet.
"So, this was your diabolical plan all along, ya no good, conniving, back-stabbing Blue Devil!" Sarge shouted in rage.
