A/N: As always, I don't own RVB. Rooster Teeth does, and I don't own them.

"Anyone know where Grif and Tucker are?" I asked prepared to bring out the next two out.

"I'll get them, be right back." Sarge said. He disappeared and appeared a few minutes later, both soldiers heads pinned under his arms. "I found them both in the kitchen. Let's just say, you should just demolish the kitchen and build it again. It'll be cheaper." he reported.

I shook my head and prepped the machine. The vortex appeared and disappeared, leaving behind a figure in cobalt and yellow armor and one in pink armor. "Wh... Where are we?" Donut asked, his assault rifle almost crushed under his terrified grip.

Wash looked around until his gaze settled on Alpha and Epsilon. "I don't know, but who ever took us must be the master of highly advance tech." he told Donut. He then looked me dead in the eye and asked "Are you Forerunner?"

I shook my head. "I wish. No I'm not a Forerunner, nor a Precursor. I'm a human, but from a point about 500 years in your past. Come out and I'll explain." I told them. They came out and I explained everything about how the Meta came out, and why they were there. They were a little unsure about fighting the Meta, especially Donut, but they eventually agreed. I thanked them, assigned Alpha and Sarge to show them the Cave, and left to check the kitchen.

A week later, having just left Tucker and Grif under Sarge's and Wash's care to rebuild the kitchen, I pulled Alpha and Epsilon into my personal quarters in the Cave. "I want to inform you two of something that will be hard for both of you, especially you Epsilon." I told them.

"What is it?" they asked.

"I want to bring out Tex." I told them. That statement went over like a ton of bricks.
