Chapter 18

Building By A Beach

While O'Malley got ready to attack, Grif was telling everyone what he saw in the building. "Ok so let me get this straight. They were talking to the bomb." Simmons asked Grif. "Dude I don't know, They mentioned something about candles and a bubble bath. And they were playing a kind of new age CD. Like a Yanni fan club meeting." Grif said. "That makes no sense at all. Did you want to translate for us pinky-pants?" Sarge asked Donut. "Yeah this sounds like you thing?" Jack asked Donut.

"My guess is that they're trying to get the bomb do something for them." Donut said. "And all of the sweet talk and candles would work on a bomb?" Simmons asked Donut. "It would work on me." Donut said to Simmons. "Everything would work on you." Jack said to Donut.

"Don't you see what they're trying to do?" Sarge asked everyone. "No, isn't that the point of this conversation?" Grif asked Sarge. "Blues are obviously trying to coax the bomb into rearming. They're about to launch and attack. On us!" Sarge said to everyone. "Why would they do that?" Grif asked Sarge. "Because they're blues! Somebody get this kid the manual." Sarge said. "Oh, I hate the blues." Simmons said.

"That's the spirit Simmons." Sarge said. "Not to question you Sir, but if the bomb blows right now, they'll die with us. I mean the bomb was made to take this building down. And with that bomb here, you have to be stupid launch an attack." Jack said.

And O'Malley is stupid, he was giving a speech to the robots. "And now the hour is at hand. It is time my robot minions." O'Malley said. "He means robot minions. Where is your cultural sensitivity?" Doc asked O'Malley. "Oh, shut up! At least we will seize our destiny!" O'Malley said. "Do we really need to seize destiny? Can't we just invite it to our online circle of friends?" Doc asked O'Malley. "Quiet you fool! And quit sending me those intives. They're repulsive." O'Malley said to Doc.

"Prepare for battle! We will break upon their fortress like an evil wind! Crushing our opponents with lighting speed. ATTACK!" O'Malley said to his robots. "Charge!" the robots said, before moving super, super slow. "You there hurry along. And you in the back." O'Malley said to the robots.

"Lopez can't you speed them up?" O'Malley asked Lopez. [This is their maximum velocity.] Lopez said to O'Malley. "This isn't what I asked for!" O'Malley said. [You said you wanted a day of victory. At this speed, they will win in exactly 24 hours.] Lopez said to O'Malley. This made O'Malley sigh in disappointment.

"So we cool here?" Church said and Tucker said. "I think we're finally calmed down."

"Yes. We are all better now. We are not mad. And we are diffidently not thinking about exploding at all anymore." Caboose said to Andy and Andy said. "Hey, are you talking about me?"

"No Andy, they are talking about me." West said and all of the Blue's looked at him. "After spending so much time around this guy, I feel like I'm going to explode and maybe kill all of them."

"Whoa, you sound like a handful." Andy said and Church said to West. "Nice job, I was going to use Tex. Now as long as everyone is calm and peaceful and there is nothing to make us excited. I don't care." Then O'Malley fired his rocket launcher at one of the base walls and said. "Attack my robot minions."

"Did you feel that it came right as you said that?" West said to Church and Church said. "Yes. Yes I did."

With the reds, they heard an explosion. "What the hell was that!? Sarge asked everyone. "It sounded like a huge explosion!" Simmons said to Sarge. "Sham-Dilly-Lace. That means the blues have re-armed the bomb." Sarge said. "Wait, they rearmed it and it exploded. Isn't that good for us?" Grif asked. "Yeah doesn't that mean the blues are dead and we won?" Jack asked. "Grif don't interrupt me while I'm leading in a battle situation." Sarge said to Grif. "Me? What about Jack, and wait? Were in battle?" Grif asked Sarge.

"Course we are! Not get ready for your orders!" Sarge said to Grif. "Donut!" Sarge said to Donut. "Yes sir." Donut said to Sarge. "Scream like a woman." Sarge said to Donut. "Can do." Donut said, before running around, screaming and panicking. "Jack man the machine gun and shoot." Sarge said to Jack. "You got it Sir." Jack said to Sarge, and he got onto the back of the Warthog and grabbed the machine gun. Jack then started to shoot wildly and not being helpful. "Grif." Sarge said to Grif. "What?" Girf asked Sarge. "Prepare to sacrifice yourself for a nearby superior officer." Sarge said to Grif. "I don't think I have been trained on that." Grif said to Sarge. "Simmons, kiss ass at will." Sarge said to Simmons. "Your both an excellent leader and a handsome man sir." Simmons said to Sarge.

"Excellent work Simmons, Incoming!" Sarge said as he and Grif got down, before a rocket could hit them. "Grif your up." Sarge said, as the rocket exploded behind them. "Permission to assist Donut sir?" Grif asked, as Donut ran past him still screaming like a woman. "Permission Denied. Continue with Operation Meat Shield. Remember; just because your bones are broken doesn't mean you don't stop bullets from hitting me. Now get out there!" Sarge said to Grif.

"Good call sir." Simmons said to Sarge. "You're on your way to a medal Simmons. In fact medals all the way around. Purple heart for Grif. Red heart for Jack. Pink heart for Donut. And a Brown nose for Simmons." Sarge said to everyone as the battle started to get underway.
