After burying Caboose's body, the remaining Blues decided that they'd stay within their base and contact Blue command, even at the danger of O'Malley shooting about in the radio.
As they walked back towards the base, Tucker poked at the sulking leader.
"What are you so upset about anyways? I thought you hated that guy."
Church barely tiled his head to face Tucker. "He owes me 10 bucks…"
Tex, who was walking silently in the front, stopped and turned around. "You cheap fucking asshole."
"Blarg! Honk honk blarg!"
Tucker, recognizing his offspring's voice, turned around in search for Junior. He found him back where they just came from, near the Red base.
"Holy Shit! Junior!" exclaimed Tucker as he started running towards Junior. "What are you doing up in there!" The aqua alien child ran off, disappearing up the cliff and behind a boulder. "Don't you know how two people died now from falling off a cliff? Get down here!"
"Tucker, no!" shouted Church and Tex, running after him. "Tucker stop!"
The Aqua soldier didn't look back. "Junior's up there!"
Church tried to look into the scope again, to determine the threat level nearby. He didn't get much as the huge boulder was blocking most views. "Tucker it might be a trap-!"
Tucker didn't seem to hear, as he ran around the boulder. "Junior! There you-"
Loud sounds of gunshot sounded off, muffling only slightly the cries of mother (?) and child as they died.
"Blarg!"
"Junior! No-argh!"
Church panicked, only Tex stopping him from running dead on towards the sounds of a Warthog turret. "Tucker! Shit! Tex!"
"You'll just get hit as well!" Tex protested.
After a while, the turret stopped. Tex pushed Church back roughly, taking the time he took to get back up to run above the boulder and deactivating the Warthog.
"Shit, Sarge's not here. He must have set this up."
Church didn't mind to her talking. He ran around the boulder and saw Tucker lying in a pool of his blood. His body looked terrible. Even though the body was armored, the super-fast bullets had torn through them in quick succession, drilling black bullet holes in three inch thick armor plating. Tucker was lying on his back, reaching towards the unmoving bee hived body of his alien child.
"Ju…Junior…" The arm fell.
Church ran to the soldier. "Tucker! No! Tucker! Tucker!"
Tex jumped off the Warthog and walked towards her mourning ex-boyfriend. "That's it. I'm calling HQ."
Church didn't give any indication that he heard.
Tex turned around and reached for her radio. "Hello, Command? This is Free-"
She didn't finish her sentence. Tex collapsed onto the ground. It took Church about five full seconds to realize that she'd been shot in the head.
"Fuck!" Church jumped out of his stupor in surprise as blood seeped out of Tex's helmet. "Tex! Tex! What the fuck-"
Looking around in panic, Church saw a cave, right behind the tripped Warthog. Checking for threats, Church moved carefully into the cave, eyeing every dark corner for a red patch of armor.
"Sarge you fucking bastard…"
