Chapter 2 – The First Battle

Clarke woke up when his alarm clock rung out like the bells of London. He remembered what Church had said yesterday and started to worry. Without warning, his door flung open and Tucker was standing in his doorway. Tucker walked over to him.

"Listen "Clarke", not to sound like I'm overdramatizing but I don't like you, and I don't like your skill. I am the ladies' man around here, you hear, If I catch you having sex in this base before I do, then I will rip out your eyes" said Tucker. The rest of the morning went pretty quick for Clarke. After breakfast he pulled Church aside.

"Hey Church" said Clarke

"Yeah, what's up man?" asked Church

"Tucker was acting pretty weird this morning, he was speaking in a deep weird voice and threatened to rip our my eyes" said Clarke

"Oh Shit" replied Church

"What?" asked Clarke

"Come in here" said Church, grabbing Clarke's arm and pulling him into the nearest room.

"Basically, a few years ago, Tex's A.I" said Church

"Let me just stop you there, who's Tex?" Clarke interrupted

"She's a freelancer, anyway. Tex's A.I took over Caboose's mind and made him say really stupid things. Then he took over Doc's mind and tried to kill us all. But we managed to stop him." Said Church

"And you think he's took over Tucker?" asked Clarke

"Yes" replied Church

"So, what do we do?" asked Clarke

"We have to… we have to kill Tex's A.I, who is known as O'Malley" said Church. Church and Clarke re entered the kitchen and sat down.

"What was all that about?" asked Sara

"I'll tell you later" said Clarke.

Caboose and Clarke were guarding the base while the rest were out. Clarke decided this would be a good time to get to know Caboose.

"Caboose" said Clarke

"Yeah" replied Caboose

"Where do you come from?" asked Clarke

"Nevada" replied Caboose

"Do you have a girlfriend?" asked Clarke

"I do not know what that is, is it a type of cheese?" asked Caboose. Suddenly, something clicked in Clarke's head. Caboose was mentally retarded.

"Basically when a man and a woman love each-" said Clarke

"I've heard this all before, this is where babies come from" said Caboose

"No, let me rephrase what I said earlier, when a man and a woman have a one night stand, but like what they saw/handled, they become Boyfriend and Girlfriend" Clarke explained.

"Is Sara your Girlfriend?" asked Caboose

"Yeah, I would say so" said Clarke

"Hey dipshits, we found nothing" said Tucker

"Don't speak to us like that" said Clarke

"Listen asshole, your guts are really getting on my nerves. You've been here a day, You can't really tell any of us what to do" said Tucker. Tucker walked past them and slapped Caboose over the head. Hard enough to send him to the ground. Clarke gave him a dirty look.

"What the fuck is your problem?" asked Clarke. As he said this a rocket exploded in between Clarke and Tucker. Time stood still. Clarke realised what had happened. For some reason time was still. He was in mid air with his arm bent in a way which was unusual. Tucker was using his arms as a shield. In the corner of his eye he could see four red team members. One was orange, he was punching Church in the stomach. One was maroon, he was holding a rocket launcher and celebrating. One was plain red, he was holding a shotgun to Ruby's head. Ruby was on her knees. The last red, well "Pink", was talking to Sara, not fighting, Talking. Time un froze. Clarke fell to the floor. But managed to get up. Caboose was helping Tucker up. Clarke aimed down his sniper rifle's scope and shot the Orange one in the leg.

"AH SHIT" shouted the orange one as he fell to the floor. The plain red one flinched and looked around. Clarke shot him just above the head (Where his hair was). Probably scraping his skull. The red one flung back. Ruby then stood up, pulled out her pistol and shot the Maroon one in the stomach. The Pink one was captured and brought back to blue base.

The Reds were back at base. Grif somehow managed to save himself and heal the rest.

"Private Grif, what in Sam hell happened" asked Sarge

"We were ambushed" said Simmons

"Where the hell did your medic skills come from Grif?" asked Simmons.

"I had them all along, I just didn't care before today" Grif answered.

"Private Grif, my hair has gone" said Sarge

"Yeah, I had to get rid of it to get to the wound" said Grif.

"" shouted Sarge. The scream echoed throughout the canyon.
