A/N: Sorry for the cliffhanger, it just felt natural to stop right there. As always RVB is own by Rooster Teeth, not me.
"You killed Church, you team killing fucktard!" shouted Caboose and he leapt toward Sarge, murder in his every bearing.
Simmons jumped and tackled Caboose mid-air, and tried to pin him on the ground. They rolled around, destroying my lab, but I had a more important matter to deal with. I ran over to Alpha and pulled his upper armor off of him. The wound I saw almost made me hurl. His armor was able to stop most of the pellets, but enough made it through to turn his right side into one gaping hole. I pulled off my shirt and wadded it into the hole in his side. As I shoved my shirt into his abdominal cavity to stop the massive bleeding, he started shaking heavily. I pulled out my cell and called Fred at the hospital. "Fred, I need you here NOW! I just brought out Sarge and Simmons, and long story short, Sarge shot Alpha. He's bleeding heavily and looks like he's going into shock." I explained to him.
"I'll grab a team of paramedics I trust to keep their mouths shut and we'll be over in two minutes. I want you to keep Alpha calm." he said and then disconnected.
I pushed the intercom and said "Delta, Epsilon, I need you both up here now! I need you to put Sarge in a cell while I get Alpha to a hospital. Simmons will explain later." As soon as I disconnected Fred and the two paramedics showed burst through the door. Fred took one look around at the two struggling Spartans destroying my lab and then his eyes fixed on Alpha. He turned to one of the paramedics. "Liz, I want you to get on the horn to the surgical suite at the hospital and tell them I want a full team prepped and ready to go in three minutes." he told her. She nodded and ran out.
I helped Fred and the other paramedic, Jorge, place Alpha on the stretcher. As they turned to leave I placed a hand on Fred's shoulder. "Fred, I'll be over soon. I just need to finish things here." I told him. He nodded than ran out.
Fred left and a few moments later Delta and Epsilon ran into the room. Epsilon saw the two struggling Marines and Sarge sitting in the corner, knees up to his chest and cradling his shotgun like it was his first born. He went over and knocked the two battling super soldiers' heads together, stunning them. "What happened here?" he asked, stepping around the puddle of blood.
"Like I said earlier, Simmons will explain. For now I need Simmons and Delta to get Sarge into a cell downstairs for his own safety. Epsilon, I need you to help me get Caboose into the van and then we are going to the hospital." I told them. They nodded and when on their individual tasks. With much swearing and a few bumped heads we managed to get the limp form of Caboose into the back of the van and we took off. After a minute of driving, Caboose sat up cradling his head. "What happened to you back there? That was completely out of line, even for you." I asked the confused Spartan.
"While my mind was being destroyed by all the AI's that had invaded my mind, Delta was my only friend. All the others made fun of me and didn't even see what was being done to my mind. I heard all the jokes and comments that were said at my expense. Delta was the only one who understood what was happening. Then there was the incident at Freelancer Command, and my one friend I ever had was destroyed. But many years later, after I lost all hope he still survived, you reunited us. For that I pledged to myself that I would do everything in my power to protect you. So when Sarge was pointing his shotgun at you I got pissed, and when he shot Church I just snapped." Caboose said.
"I understand. I experienced similar things when I was in school. But with me, my one true friend wasn't destroyed. I moved and by the time we got back into contact, it was like she was a different person. We haven't spoken in 15 years." I told him as we pulled into the hospital parking lot.
