Soul Calibur belongs to Namco/Project Soul
Now we're back with the Blues again - this time it's kinda short but in this chap Caboose will experience something he hasn't felt in a LONG time...;) Believe me, you will laugh your ass off once you read.
Chapter V – Of Exchanged Words… and Lovestruck Morons
(Wolfkrone Royal Army base camp – The scene shows ready soldiers training for combat surrounded by bright tents and the wolf-emblem flag of their kingdom fluttering high above the Princess' personal tent. Inside Hilde sits with the Blue Team and Doc)
Hilde: (Sitting in a regal chair with a cup of tea held in hand; takes a slight sip)
Wash, Tucker, Doc, and Caboose: (Also sitting in chairs with cups held in their own hand)
Washington: (Quietly drinks from cup)
Doc: (Looking around; holding cup)
Caboose: (Slurps from his cup)
Tucker (elbows Caboose; whispers): Dude! Be a little nicer – we're standing in front of royalty… (Looking at Hilde) Hot-ass royalty that is.
Washington (listening): Hmm… (Kicks Tucker in the leg)
Tucker: Ow!
Washington: (Slightly smirks under his helmet)
Hilde: Ahem…
Blue Team: (Stops and look at her)
Hilde: Now that I got received your attention once more… (Sips tea again) I must inform that you have been sent in the midst of a terrible crisis.
Doc (sounding nervous): Terrible…crisis?
Washington: Hmm…What kind of crisis?
Hilde: You may think of it as…something from a child's fairy tale but sadly it is actual reality. An unholy presence has risen deep from the abyss and threatens to damn my kingdom…as well as everything in its path.
Caboose: Is it the boogeyman?
Washington: Caboose!
Hilde (seemingly not paying attention to that): This same unearthly thing wishes to devour us all… (Looks sad) It took away my father...And it has a name.
Doc (scared): N-Name…?
Hilde: It is a demonic blade they call…Soul Edge.
Blue Team: (puzzled)
Doc: Uh…Did anyone else feel their spines shiver when they heard that…?
Tucker: Heard what? The name?
Doc: Y-Yeah…
Tucker: Hmm...Maybe mine did shiver a bit...
Caboose: I think my legs are fast asleep.
Everyone else: (stares at Caboose)
Washington: Caboose...That was not necessary to know.
(Suddenly before anyone could say more, an armored soldier quickly enters the tent and kneels before Hilde)
Soldier (panting): M-Milady!
Hilde (alert): Hmm? What is it, soldier?
Soldier: Our scouts have returned with much dreadful news...An army marched forth from Ostrheinsburg - its number by the thousands. And on its way to the first outpost...
Washington: Ostrheinsburg?
Hilde (to Wash): A city that houses the evil sword and its minions...A place for the damned now.
Blue Team: (speechless; look shocked)
Hilde (to Soldier): Alert the outpost's commander and hurry...a battalion of only two-hundred men only have a slight chance against a thousand...or more.
Soldier: (nods)
Doc: (gulps)
(Then, without any warning, another soldier burst into the tent although he looks alarmed and almost terrified to a point)
2nd Soldier: Princess! Come quick!
Hilde (bewildered and confused): Hmm? (Heads outside)
Tucker: Is it that army they talked about earlier...?
Washington: No...That would be too quick...This is something else. C'mon (Heads out)
Tucker, Caboose, and Doc: (Scramble together and follow Wash outside)
(Once the group was together; instantly they eye a starnge new figure heading towards the camp in the distance.)
Doc: Who...What...is that?
Hilde (to 2nd Soldier): Hand me a telescope...
2nd Soldier: Yes milady...(Quickly rushes away and then presents the princess a brass telescope)
Hilde: (Takes it and peers through it) What in...It...It looks like human.
Washington (takes away telescope): Lemme see...(peers through telescope and sees) It's...a girl?
Blue Team: HUH?
(Suddenly the distant figure's appearance becomes more clear as she strolls closer into view; being a strange pale girl dressed in a black-and-red Victorian-esque dress with a bonnet over her silver hair. In her right hand is a large metal shaft with an axe blade on one end and the other an axe upon a lance. However, as the mystery femme draws closer, the group begins to note oddities in her appearance.)
Tucker: Uh...Does someone else see gears in her chest...?
Doc: S-She's...not human...!
Washington: She has to be a machine...a robot by the looks and pretty advanced-looking one by the likes of it.
Caboose: (Staring blankly)
Doc: Caboose...? You ok?
Caboose: ...
Tucker: Hey Caboose. Earth to Caboose...
Caboose: ...
Washington: Ok, this is NOT like Caboose to be -
Caboose: Sheila...?
Hilde (confused): Pardon...?
Tucker: Oh no...
Washington: What? Tucker, do you know something that I should know by now?
Tucker: Aw - It's...kinda of a long...and WEIRD story. Ya see -
Caboose (interrupts; sounding happy): SHEILA! IT'S YOU! Except you have a robot body now but still...SHEILA! YOU CAME BACK FOR ME!
Tucker: Caboose! That's not Sheila!
Caboose: Yes it is.
Tucker: Goddamnit - look at her. If that WAS Sheila, then she were inside some f***in' tank or Pelican or whatever!
Caboose: ...Maybe she got an upgrade.
Tucker: You're hopeless. And you can't love a machine...
Caboose: Sheila is not a machine! She is a very delicate flower...
Soldiers, Doc, and Wash: (Sweat-drop)
Washington: Oh God...I can't believe I'm with team-mates with...a f***ing retarded mechanophiliac...
Tucker (murmurs): Tell me about it...
Doc: Well...This has gotten bizzare. (Pauses) Wait...Where's Hilde?
Blue Team: (Becomes alert to that; looks around quickly)
Washington (sees): Wait - I think I see her. And she's fighting that...whatever-in-hell that thing is! (Points to the princess up ahead already for combat with the automaton girl)
Soldiers: Princess!
Caboose: Don't hurt Sheila!
Washington: We have to stop them - Maybe capture that thing and see what it knows. (Sees a broadsword laying on the ground and takes it in hand) I'll go help out Hilde while you...You just stay out of the way. (Charges towards the fight)
Caboose (yells): Tell Sheila I said 'hi'! And that I love her!
Tucker: ...Caboose.
Caboose: Yeah Tucker?
Tucker: Just...shut up. Shut up for once.
Doc: ...Ouch.
