About clean Armour and Side Stories

The episode opened with Tucker standing inside the base, facing the camera. A picture of Church, framed with flowers, was nailed to the wall behind him.

"Guess this was taken right after Church died," Alice stated.

"Hey, this is Tucker here from the Blue Army. We're not releasing a video this week because, who are we kidding? We can't compete with anything that's related to Halo 2. So take this opportunity to download the new footage, and I'll take this opportunity to clean all this black crap off my armour."

Caboose appeared from below the screen. "You? I'm the one doing all the polishing here."

Marisa grinned. "Keep rubbing Caboose, give us something to watch."

Sanae blushed heavily, while Aya was chuckling, and the other two were groaning in annoyance.

"Caboose, did I tell you to stop? Get back to work." Caboose crouched back down.

Marisa opened her mouth, but was silenced by Reimu whacking the witch on the back of her head.

For good measure, Alice was whirling her newspaper between her fingers in a threatening manner as well.

"See you next week!" Tucker finished as the screen faded to black.

"What is this stuff? Gum?"

"Well, that was short," Aya commented. "Next episode!"

- How it all started -

"... How?" asked Simmons in befuddlement, looking at Sarge.

"Ah meet some fancy gal who was willin' to trade the tales of our glorious battles for a favour," Sarge chuckled as he looked at the pure red sky.

And that's how Yukari found out about 'Red vs. Blue'.

- No one to blame but yourself -

"Hey, I bet you ten bucks you and your friends won't be able to beat Caboose in an arm-wrestling contest," challenged Tucker a certain shrine maiden.

"Oh yeah? Deal!" grinned Reimu, rubbing her hands in anticipation.

Sitting down at the table, Reimu stretched her arm over to Caboose, who grabbed it on a prompt from Church. Tucker stepped out of the group of onlookers and positioned himself right next to the two contestants.

"Okay, first one to touch the table loses. You can call in help if you wish. On three-"

"Wait, on three or three then we go?"

"On three, Grif. It's faster. Now, one, two, THREE!"

With various girls from Gensokyo cheering for Reimu, and the Reds and Blues (as well as a certain green-haired miko) yelling out their support for Caboose, the match started.

Reimu roared and pushed with all her strength, determined to win this challenge with one mighty attack. As sweat was starting to roll down her face, she caught a short glimpse of her opponent.

To her shock, his arm was not budging. Not even a little bit.

The crowd turned silent as Reimu signaled for her friends to help.

Caboose looked around idly, keeping his eyes fixed on a random butterfly, completely oblivious to the various humans, youkai and gods using all their otherworldly powers and brute strength to try and win the bet.

It still would not work.

Just then Caboose regained his attention. "Hey Church, are we starting yet?"

"YES YOU IDIOT!"

"OKAY."

One swift move was all what it took.

One swift move and Caboose slammed his arm down onto the table, throwing over a dozen girls over to the floor below and breaking the entire table.

Shocked faces were being drawn across everyone else in the shrine.

"Did I win?" Caboose asked as he was lifted into the air by his fellow soldiers.

"Yep. Reimu, pay up. That's what you get for wrestling with a guy who's oblivious to x10 gravity."

- Fear of Heights-

"You know, as a trained soldier, former member of a secret special operation unit, someone who was flying with one of the craziest pilots of the UNSC and jumped off of a collapsing skyscraper...," Agent David Washington gripped Marisa's shoulders like a vice. "I only have one thing to say: LETMEDOWN LETMEDOWN LETMEDOWN LETMEDOWN!"

Marisa let out something that sounded very close to a laugh as she performed another barrel roll in the sky, the former freelancer screaming all the while.

- Scarlet Ball Buster -

"And now class, I, Laoshi Hong Meiling, will be demonstrating the proper ways to do haymakers, counters and windmill kicks."

"Yeah, that's cool and all, BUT WHY AM I THE PUNCHING BAG?!"

"It just feels right~."

"Up yours, China... hold on, hold! No, no, no not in the balls! Not in the... oh god, why?!"

Short but sweet.

Side story 2 was inspired by a short comic crossover between RWBY and RvB I read somewhere.
