Thanks for the reviews people. I really appreciate it. And I messed up Tex's profile. She doesn't have brown hair and brown eyes. She has short red hair and green eyes. And the typo I did on Taylor's step mom's name is a mistake too. Her name is now Megan. Other than that, we're cool. I hope you guys like this chapter as much as the others or more. My apologies if this chapter is a wee bit too shorter than the others. I don't own Halo nor am I getting paid for this.
Key: Talking, thinking, (Author's note), [Translation], Preview of last chapter.
Suddenly, there was a gunshot and it wasn't from them. They all ran outside to see who or what was causing all of the ruckus to find someone they would never want to meet.
"Aw crap, if he knows who they are, we are going into some deep shit." Taylor thought to herself as she saw the person standing in the gulch.
Everyone at blue base stood out side, seeing the reds, or at least the ones that weren't prisoners, fighting off a man in white armor. None of them have seen such strange armor. Everyone except for Taylor.
"Guys," Taylor said. "We need to get out of here."
"What, why?" Tucker asked.
"Don't ask stupid questions!" Taylor yelled. "We just need to get out of here NOW!"
"How?" Church asked.
"We'll use the ship Doc and Sister used." Taylor explained.
"How?" Tex asked. "I'm pretty sure that no one here knows how to fly a plane. Command just sets up a location for it to land on. And we don't know how to reprogram it."
"Hmm" Taylor thought. "Do you think you could down load Sheila into the ship Tex?"
"Maybe if I'm not interrupted, sure. I guess." Tex said.
"Okay, everyone else, get all the guns we have. Any missiles, explosives, grenades, kni-"
"Wait a minute there. Do you mean ALL explosives?" Tucker asked.
"Yeah" Taylor replied. Tucker looked at Church with a worried look.
"Aw crap." Church said. He led them to a room that Taylor had not entered before. Church took out some keys and unlocked it. He opened the door. In there was a ball, but it wasn't like any other ball, it talked.
"What the hell are you shisnos doin in here now?!" It said in an angry voice. Taylor soon recognized it as Andy, the bomb.
"Pipe down Andy. We're leaving." Church said.
"Leaving?! Were?" Andy asked.
"We don't know. Caboose, pick him up." Church ordered. Caboose walked over to Andy and picked him up.
"What was he doing in here?!" Taylor asked in shock.
"You mean these shisnos haven't told you?" Andy asked. "They locked me up in this bomb/sound proof room two months ago." Church and Tucker just shrugged. They all walked out of the room and saw Sarge, Donut, and Lopez in their base.
"What the hell are you reds doing in here?!" Church yelled.
"That crazy ass chased us in here." Sarge explained.
"Well I don't care. Get the hell out!" Church demanded.
""Wait Church," Taylor said. "That guy out there is pretty tough. We're going to need all the help we can get."
"Who is he anyway?" Donut asked.
"I'll explain later. Right now, we need to get to the ship." Taylor said. "I'm going to let out Simmons and Griff." Taylor walked over to the cell and opened it. The two reds were still tied to their chairs but they were talking.
"What do you want?" Griff asked in an angry tone.
"I'm letting you out." She said.
"What?" Simmons asked confused.
"We're under attack so the reds and blues are joining forces." She told them as she was untying them. Once untied, she took them out of the cell and with the rest.
"Is Tex done?" Taylor asked.
"Almost. Sheila is getting a little edgy though." Tucker said. They all grabbed their guns, explosives, and anything else that could be used as a weapon.
"She's done." Tex yelled. They all ran out side to get to the ship.
"Who the hell is he?" Griff asked.
"You know Tex?" Taylor asked.
"The chick that kicks our asses all the time? Yeah." Simmons said.
"Yeah well, this guy is like, eight of her." Taylor explained. Suddenly missiles were launched at them. They looked over to see the man in white armor shooting at them. Tex took out the sniper and started to shoot at him. She had a locked on target on him. There was no way she could miss. Suddenly, he was moved ten feet away from were he was before. He took a shot and it skinned her arm. Tex screamed in pain and held onto her now bleeding arm. They all rushed into the ship and closed the door. Church examined her injured arm while the rest went to start up the ship.
"Sheila, are you there?" Tucker asked.
"Affirmative." A feminine voice said. A green figure came out. (She looks similar to Cortana from Halo, but Sheila is green and has shoulder length wavy hair.)
"Can you get us out of here?" Tucker asked.
"Yes I can. One moment please." Sheila replied.
"I'll keep watch at the driver's seat." Taylor told Tucker. She took as seat and put on the headphones that had radio connection.
"Ms. Taylor?" Sheila said.
"Yes Sheila?" Taylor replied.
"Someone is trying to get into the ship's radio connection." She said.
"What? Who?"
"I am not quite sure. But any moment, they will break through."
"They?" Abruptly, Taylor felt like something change. Something about her. Like she was no longer alone in her head. A huge headache started to take place in her head. A very painful headache. She clutched her head and started to scream while her teeth were gritted tightly. Everyone ran over to her and asked her what was wrong. Taylor grew limp. Doc caught her and examined her face. Blood started to come out of her nose and her face grew pale. They laid her down on the cold floor and tried to wake her up.
"She won't wake up." Doc said worried.
"I can perform CPR on her." Griff suggested.
"No duh dip shit." Simmons mocked.
"Stop bickering like an old married couple." Tucker yelled. "You're giving me a headache."
"Me too." Tex said.
"Thank you Tex." Tucker said.
"I was talking about you." She said.
"Shut up bitch." Tucker replied.
"Hey, why don't you go-" Tex was cut off by Church.
"Shut it you two. You guys' fighting isn't helping this situation." Church said. All of the sudden, Taylor's eyes flew open.
"What do you know? It did help." Caboose said. Taylor slowly and swiftly sat up like a ghost. She looked at her surroundings and back at her friends.
"It seems we have arrived in the right place." Taylor said. But she didn't talk like she usually did. It was a deep, scary voice. Not her usual light, happy voice.
"I see that already." She said. But she used another voice this time. It was flat and emotionless.
"Shut up you fool!" She yelled angrly.
"I didn't say anything." Donut said defensively.
"Not you idiot." Taylor yelled.
"I thought you said she was nice." Donut whispered to Tucker.
"She is. She isn't normally like this." Tucker explained.
"Such shisno behavior." Taylor said mockingly.
"Shisno?! I know that anywhere. Gary?!" Church yelled.
"It is good to see you again Church." Gary said. "I am sure Omega is also happy to see you too."
"I am never happy to see them Gamma!" O'Malley yelled.
"And we're just happy dandy about it too." Tex said.
"What do you two want?" Tucker asked.
"We are here to find a host and get as far away from the Meta as possible. We are also going to kill you all and steal your ship." Gary explained.
"Idiot. You don't tell them that." O'Malley yelled.
"Not if we don't have anything to do about it. Tex?" Church said looking at her.
"Yep." Tex replied.
"NO!!" O'Malley yelled as the two entered Taylor's body.
"I hope they don't take to long." Doc said.
"Why?" Sister asked.
"Because with that many people in there, it maybe over whelming for her system. Her entire brain may shut down from to much to manage at one time." Doc explained.
"If we do get them out, what will we do?" Donut asked.
"How the hell should I know?" Tucker asked.
*INSIDE TAYLOR'S HEAD*
"Wow, her head is a lot different from Caboose's." Church said.
"I know. It's so different." Tex replied. (Her mind looks like Isolated. A level from Halo 3. Like how Caboose's head looks like a level from Halo 1.)
"Where should we start looking Tex?" Church asked.
"I don't know. Maybe we can ask someone here."
"Who?"
"Her mental images of the people she knows."
"Oh yeah. But I don't see anyone."
"They must be around here somewhere."
"Who are you?" A voice said. They both turned around to see a 14-year-old boy. He had short dark black hair, green eyes, pale skin like Taylor's, a red shirt, baggy blue jeans, and black shoes.
"I would ask the same thing." Tex said.
"I'm Christian. Who are you two?" He asked again.
"I'm Alison Texas. This is my friend, Leonard Church." She replied.
"Hello Alison, and Leonard." Christian greeted.
"By any chance have you noticed any new comers that haven't been here before?" Church asked.
"Yes, two men had just come in." Christian said.
"Can you take us to them?" Tex asked.
"Yes, but why do you need to see them?" Asked Christian.
"We just need to have a little chat with them." Tex replied.
"Alright. I'll lead the way." Christian decided. They wandered Taylor's head for a bit, looking for Gary and O'Malley.
"So, how do you know Taylor?" Church asked.
"I was her brother." Christian replied coolly.
"Was?" Tex said confused.
"I died a while ago. She was 9 and I was 14. I'm only a memory." Christian said. "She tries her best to be happy. And after what happened to our mom, I'm surprised she is able to hold it all in."
"Hello Allison." A voice said.
*OUTSIDE OF TAYLOR'S HEAD*
"OH DEAR GØD, HE'S LAUNCHING MISSLES AT THE DOOR!!!" Griff yelled like a little schoolgirl.
"Calm your self ladies. Everyone, barricade the door with everything we got!" Sarge ordered. Everyone grabbed anything that was heavy, which wasn't easy. They used metal tables, a couch, a chair, basically, almost everything that they didn't need at the time. They could hear the rumbling noise the door was making due to the missiles.
*INSIDE OF TAYLOR'S HEAD*
"O'Malley. It's always a pleasure." Tex said.
"Hello Church. It is nice to see you again." Gary said.
"Hi Gary. Why don't you two do us a favor and get the hell out of the girl's head." Church ordered.
"I'm afraid we can not do that. If we were to leave, the Meta will surly capture us." Gary explained.
"We don't give a shit." Tex said. Then guns started blazing everywhere, hitting Gary and O'Malley.
*OUTSIDE OF TAYLOR'S HEAD*
"It'll only be minutes before he blows down the door. And Church and Tex aren't back yet." Tucker yelled.
"Can you put that on a memo and label it 'SHIT I ALREADY KNOW!'?" (One of my favorite Sarge quotes.) Sarge yelled. Suddenly, Church and Tex were back in their bodies.
"Hey, were back." Church announced.
"Great, can we leave before we all die?" Griff asked.
"Hey, the guy is leaving." Simmons said. Everyone looked out the window to see the man in white armor running away.
"Strange. Guess we can go back to our bases." Donut said.
"No we can't." Taylor said, finally waking up to hear what they said.
"Why not?" Church asked.
"Because he's going to come back for us." Taylor answered.
"What? Why? Who was he?" Tucker asked.
"Tex, what was agent Main like?" Taylor asked Tex?
"I don't know, why?" Tex answered.
"What about Wyoming? Did those two get along?" She asked ignoring her question.
"I'm not sure. Who was he?" Tex asked again.
"That was agent Main. He's collecting AIs and harvesting freelancer's enhancements and killing them. I don't know how many he's got, but it's only a matter of time before he has them all and gets the main one." Taylor explained.
"The main one?" Simmons asked.
"The Alpha. All the AIs are based off of it. People say it's a myth." Tex explained.
"It's not. If Main gets his hands on it, who knows what will happen. But don't worry, because I have a great plan." Taylor said.
"Well, what is it?" Sarge asked.
"Tex can you get in touch with Agent Washington?" Taylor requested.
"I can try, why?" She asked.
"Because he had Epsilon." Taylor said.
"But Epsilon is locked up now."
"Epsilon is the key to this. Wash can get us to him."
"Why do we need Epsilon?" Church asked.
"When the Alpha was made, they tore it apart and made the AIs. O'Malley is it's wrath, Delta is it's logic, Epsilon is it's memories, and so on and so forth. Epsilon can lead us to Alpha. That's the only way to stop Main. Alpha will know how to stop them." Taylor explained.
"Sounds simple enough. But were do we go?" Church asked. Taylor looked at everybody and walked to the diver's seat.
"Sheila, start up the ship." Taylor ordered. Then she faced everybody. "Guys, do you know what this means?"
"It means that we're going to die?" Caboose asked.
"It means we're going home" Taylor started,"…We're going to Command."
Sorry that this one was short. It was all I could think of. I hope you enjoy it and give me good reviews. Come back for the next chapter and review this chapter A.S.A.H.P. (as soon as humanly possible)
Red Files
Name: Sarge
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Rank: Sargent
Armor: Standard Red
Hair: Brunette with tints of grey
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'5 Weight: 132
AI: None
Sarge is the staff sergeant and leader of the Blood Gulch Red Team. A military man with a Southern American accent, he is the only Blood Gulch soldier on either team consistently serious about the Red versus Blue civil war. His crazy battle plans often entail unnecessary suffering in his own men. Sarge's disposition is quickly established, particularly his relationship with Griff and Simmons, in a conversation that the writers modeled on one that they themselves had over the resemblance of the Warthog to a Puma. When the Blue Team launched an attack sometime after, Sarge was possessed by the dead Blue team leader, Church and shot in the head by the Blue rookie, Caboose. Thanks to Griff, with the use of CPR, he survives. In season 2, Sarge is forced to build two new, permanent robot bodies for the Blues, and implants a microphone in one and a bomb in the other. This leads to both teams being blasted into the distant future during season 3. Once there, Sarge leads both teams in an assault on a fortress occupied by O'Malley, the common enemy of both teams. During a battle against O'Malley and a robot army, Sarge and the Red Team leave the Blues to battle alone, in order to go in search of the source of a distress signal and end up returning to Blood Gulch. In season 4 Sarge, and the rest of the Reds, return to Red Base. The team then finds Lopez, a robot built by Sarge who had defected to the Blues and then been captured by O'Malley. From late in season 2, Sarge had been attempting to retrieve the orders from Red Command that are stored in Lopez's head. Due the fact that Lopez only speaks Spanish, and had translated the message into Spanish, Sarge kidnaps Andy, the Blue Team's talking bomb to translate the orders, which turn out to be useless. The Blues then attacks the Reds, and Sarge radios command reinforcements. When a ship arrives, the pilot informs them that she was sent to replace a dead commanding officer. Sarge at first insists that he is alive, but Griff brings up the possibility of Red command being wrong about other stuff such as the idea that the Blues "don't suck". Sarge, not willing to accept such a thing, believes then that he is in fact dead, and the other Reds bury him. By episode 85, he has disappeared from his grave, having fallen into the underground cavern. In episode 88, Sarge believes that he is in hell since he's underground. He confirms this when Donut arrives. He soon gets contact from Simmons and Griff, who are in the cavern to rescue them. Upon discovering there are other people in the cave, he decides they must find them, but the team gets sidetracked upon finding some surveillance equipment showing the Blues invading their base. Sarge organizes a plan to capture the Blue Base in retaliation, and attempts to call Vic Jr. for reinforcements; however, the latter promptly cuts him off. Shortly after, the Reds capture the empty Blue Base and watch the Blues being attacked by multiple Wyomings; unwilling to let someone else take the glory for defeating the Blues, Sarge leads the team against the Wyomings. O'Malley starts jumping from person to person and Church asks Sarge to disable the ship so that O'Malley can't escape in it. Sarge, however, decides to blow it up instead, and puts Andy on the ship. When O'Malley finally jumps back into Tex, they take off in the ship. Sarge orders Andy to blow up the ship, to the horror of Church. In the official ending to the series, when Simmons asked if they would continue fighting the Blues, Sarge replied with, "No, Simmons. I think they've had their asses kicked enough for one day. Let's leave some for tomorrow." Shortly after, he builds a new ATV out of spare Warthog parts and asks Simmons and Griff to name it. Sarge hates the blues but sometimes, he has to team up with them.
Name: Richard 'Dick' Simmons
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Rank: Private
Armor: Maroon
Hair: Light Brown
Eyes: Auburn Brown
Height: 5'7 Weight: 126
AI: None
Simmons acts as the straight man of the Red Team, usually acting rationally and thinking level-headedly. When one of the other members of the Red Team make up an crazy theory or plan, Simmons denounces the suggestion and gives a more logical statement; after one such situation, Sarge and Griff comment that he has no imagination. Nonetheless, Simmons is often looked to solve problems. Sarge once labeled him as the "unofficial science officer", which Simmons reasoned as meaning he was smart. Simmons is extremely devoted to this image, doing whatever possible to appear smart to his teammates. He once claimed he could multiply any two large numbers in his head, and when Griff attempted to test this theory, Simmons gave a false answer in a credible manner, which convinced his teammates. However, when circumstances fail to work in his favor, Simmons tends to break down and behave irrationally. This is best evidenced in Season Four, when Simmons was demoted for claiming that Sheila, the Blue Team's tank, was still roaming Blood Gulch. His position was filled by Donut, who, in a radio conversation, unwittingly rubbed Simmons' nose in the fact that he, Donut, now had Simmons' job. In an abrupt fury, Simmons painted his armor mostly blue, attacked the Red Base with Sheila in tow, and captured Griff. Sarge and Donut's rescue attempt and execution of Simmons was interrupted by the timely arrival of Church, the Blue Team's self-appointed leader, who saved Simmons and sent the Reds back to their base. Church, pretending not to recognize Simmons, then gave him an orientation on the Red Team's members and gave a scathing opinion of Simmons. Simmons' reaction of running back to the base to cry shows he is also very self-conscious. As he changes his armor color back to maroon in an incredibly short time he reveals that he is extremely shy, wears clothes in the shower, and does not use the bathroom at the base (the only bathroom). Despite the attempt on his life, Simmons still remains loyal to Sarge and the Red Team. During the events of Sarge's "death", Simmons helps convince Sarge that he is truly dead, so that he could take command of Red Team. Later on a "rescue mission" to save Sarge, it is revealed that he has an extreme fear of snakes.
Name: Dexter Griff
Age: 22 ½
Gender: Male
Rank: Private
Armor: Orange
Hair: Orange with blonde highlights
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'6 Weight: 139
AI: None
The wisecracking loudmouth of the Reds, Griff is somewhat self-centered, acerbic, lazy, and even cowardly. Despised by his teammates Sarge and Simmons, he has the lowest social and, in the beginning of the series, lowest military rank on the Red Team. Simmons and Griff often bicker or chat with each other about the various situations that the Reds encounter. Although Griff's laziness does create problems for the Reds, Sarge always blames him when things go wrong, regardless of Griff's (or anyone else's) actual guilt in the matter. He regards Donut with disdain, thinking him unintelligent, and evidently despises the rookie's general enthusiasm. Griff has even admitted to being lazy. He has repeatedly admitted to sleeping during staff meetings and neglecting to do his assigned tasks. In one instance when Sarge orders him to run over and find out what Donut was doing Griff responded by saying "Or I could just look through the scope of the sniper rifle, since that's worked the last 800 times. With respect to personality, Griff is fairly brash and has a flair for melodrama. He is quick to make silly theories or insults, even toward people who could clearly kill him without hesitation. He is also completely averse to fighting, fleeing at the first sign of danger. Physically, a lifetime of smoking and eating bacon flavored marshmallows has left Griff badly out of shape for a soldier in the military, and he is barely able to run 300 feet without running out of breath. After being accidentally run over by Sheila, driven by Tucker, Griff had to have most of his body parts replaced with donor organs left over from Simmons' cyborg operation. Even this event, however, has not compelled him to quit his bad habits. In Episode 81, Rooster Teeth reveals a new character in Griff's sister, who joins him in the canyon before revealing she is a Blue, and Griff hands her over to the Blues to protect her. Later, when it is revealed that Sarge is still alive, Griff shows his fear of bats when asked to go into the caves to look for him. His fear is largely paranoid, as he becomes jumpy and nervous at numerous moments, even when bats have nothing to do with the situation, such as when he hears some water dripping and he immediately becomes fearful. When attacked by aggressors unidentified by the Reds, Griff refers to them as "bat-people", owing to its inhuman appearance.
Name: Franklin Donut
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Rank: Private
Armor: Pink/Lightish Red
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Deep Blue
Height: 5'3 Weight: 119
AI: None
Donut is referred to indirectly in episode 2, when Sarge, the leader of the Red Team, tells his subordinates that a "new recruit will be here within the week." The next episode introduces Donut, who appears wearing "standard-issue" red armor. Griff and Simmons, his new teammates, immediately send him on a fool's errand for elbow grease and "headlight fluid." Donut and the other characters in his review of this episode, "seeing such a serious and cocky young recruit being thrown in with the cynical, lazy, and pretty much bored pair of Simmons and Griff was wonderful." On his way, Donut mistakes the Blue Base for the store and takes the Blue flag in order to avoid returning empty-handed. In response, Blue Command hires a Freelancer, Tex, to retrieve the flag. In the ensuing attack on Red Base in episode 11, Donut is injured from a grenade explosion and is airlifted out of Blood Gulch for treatment. When Donut returns from Red Command in episode 16, he appears in pink armor, which he insists is "lightish red." This change attracts attention from both teams. When Tex attacks the Red Base a second time, in episode 19, Donut miraculously manages to kill her with a grenade, in revenge for her previous attack. Donut's personality is developed more thoroughly as season 2 progresses, and he begins to act less sane, Donut eventually does call his armor "pink" in episode 30. Later, in episode 36, he pretends to be a secret agent named "Double-O Donut." At the end of season 2, each team leaves one member behind to keep guard while the others pursue their common enemy, O'Malley. In what he considers an imbalance, Donut is left with Sheila the Blue Team's tank. After most of the other Reds and Blues teleport out of Blood Gulch, Tex, who, after returning as a ghost, had suddenly disappeared at the end of episode 33, returns to the gulch and recognizes Donut as her killer, thus ending the season with a cliffhanger. In season 3, Donut eventually joins everyone on Sidewinder to confront O'Malley. However, a bomb blasts most of the characters forward in time. In episode 53, Donut distracts the Blues with a convoluted story so that the Reds can discreetly investigate a distress signal. When they leave Donut behind in pursuit of this signal, Donut manages to steal a hovercraft from O'Malley and rejoin them. In season 4, Donut replaces Simmons as Sarge's right-hand man when Sarge declares Simmons insane for insisting that Sheila still roams the gulch in the future. In a cliffhanger at the end of the season, episode 77, a large ship drops into the gulch and lands on top of Donut. Donut plays only a minor role in season 5. He does not appear until Episode 81 where it is revealed that the impact forces him into a previously unseen underground cavern, where he finds two suits of armor, one cobalt and the other black, and decides to wait. In episode 88, he finds Sarge in the cavern and helps him find Simmons after Sarge makes contact with him. Later, he gives Sarge the idea to take over the Blue Base after witnessing the Blues infiltrating their own base. Sarge announces a plan involving Donut as a grenadier. In the canon ending, Donut is not featured prominently, only being seen standing next to the new vehicle Sarge had built.
Name: Lopez la Pesado AKA Lopez the Heavy
Age: None
Gender: Supposed Male
Rank: Robot
Armor: Brown
Hair: None
Eyes: None
Height: 5'9 Weight: 467
A robot built by Sarge, Lopez speaks in a stereotypically monotonic robotic voice. He was originally affiliated with the Red team. Because Sarge neglected to ground himself when installing Lopez's voice card, it was damaged by static electricity; consequently, Lopez can only speak Spanish, although he can still understand English perfectly. English subtitles are provided for most of the Spanish dialogue. After his voice card is installed, Lopez begins to call himself "Lopez la Pesado" ("Lopez the Heavy") in episode 17 and demonstrates a stoic, tough personality. He also tends to exhibit characteristics that are stereotypically Latin American, such as a strong socialist ideology. As Sarge had programmed him, Lopez also dislikes Griff. In a brief first-person camera view, a list of Lopez's objectives are displayed, one of them being "Hate the orange one." As a Blue, he repairs and falls in love with Sheila. He eventually develops a resistance to possession
and shortly afterward has his old armor color restored. At the end of season 2, O'Malley captures Lopez and uses him as another tool in his plan to conquer the universe. O'Malley uses a weather control system that had been built into Lopez. This system left unfinished by Sarge, is capable of eliminating both teams. Red Command also had embedded top-secret strategic information inside Lopez's head. As such, the Reds are forced to cooperate with the Blues to chase O'Malley and attempt to recover Lopez. In the explosion that propelled both teams into the future, Lopez is reduced to a disembodied head. Somehow, he is still able to fire a machine-gun turret and even build an army of robot soldiers. As Simmons explains, "He's very determined." Absent for most of season 4, Lopez had been in hiding with Doc and O'Malley in a secret lair. He is without a body, and his frustration with the two has increased. In episode 75, the Reds find Lopez and the instructions that Red Command had embedded in his head. However, the instructions are in Spanish, and none of the Reds can understand them. After another lengthy absence, Lopez's head is rediscovered in the caves by Sister and Doc. Sister manages to communicate with Lopez in Spanish, only to be mocked by him. Lopez goes on to reveal in an off-screen conversation how he came to be in the caves, described by Doc as being "strange yet totally believable", before being interrupted by the possessed Captain Flowers. He is left behind in the caves and was in the same cavern as Andy. In the final episode of the series, Lopez reunites with Sheila, who was recently transferred to the large ship that brought Sister to the Gulch, and shortly before she may or may not have been blown up to prevent O'Malley from using her to escape the canyon. Lopez's fate beyond this was left unanswered until Reconstruction, where it is shown he remained at Red Base, and was given a new body, staying with Sarge.

Who could forget the red's most trusty vehicle that has been nearly killed on multiple occasions? The "Warthog". The Warthog (the vehicle's actual name in the Halo video game series) is a battle jeep delivered to the Reds in episode 2. Failing to see much resemblance to a warthog, Griff suggests the name Puma. Believing that Griff is suggesting the name of a mythical creature, Sarge and Simmons suggest several other mythical creatures (mockingly) — such as Bigfoot, the unicorn, leprechaun, and "Chupathingy" (after the Chupacabra). The Warthog has a homing beacon and remote control system linked to Lopez. This system is accidentally activated in season 2 when Church, then possessing Lopez, and Tucker attempt to activate Lopez' repair sequence. Burns suggests that, as with Sheila, the vehicle was originally going to be a full-blown character and maintain a personality throughout the series, in a parody of Speed Buggy. This idea was, however, abandoned shortly after the remote control gag. The Warthog is frequently blaring loud Mexican ranchero music, and it can often be heard approaching because of it. In episode 29, Griff notes that the Warthog seems to be "really bad luck." During its two seasons of appearance, it spends most of its time out of commission. The teams leave it behind when they leave Blood Gulch at the end of season 2, but find another similar jeep after blasting forward in time from the explosion on Sidewinder, which plays the same ranchero music upon being activated, and also in episode 99. Upon returning to Blood Gulch, there has been no sign of the original jeep in the canyon.
*MEMBERS I FORGOT TO ADD ON BLUE TEAM FILES*
Name: Sheila, originally Phyllis (M808V Main Battle Tank, later D77-TC Pelican Drop ship)
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Rank: Tank
Color: Light Green
Hair: Shoulder-Length Wavy Light Green
Body: Similar to Cortana from Halo, except color
Sheila, originally named Phyllis, is the AI Training Program of the Blue team's M808V Main Battle Tank. She is friendly and cheerful, but, being a tank, she has a habit of blowing people up, including her own teammate Church, owing to a disabled Friendly Fire protocol. Sheila is bombed out of action by Sarge's drop ship early in the first season, but is repaired by Tex several episodes later. Donut later disables her again by pitching a grenade into her cockpit at the end of season 1. Sheila shows some indications of liking Caboose. However, in the middle of season 2, she falls in love with Lopez, much to Caboose's dislike. Before long, the two attempt to lead a robot revolution against the humans in response to perceived abuse that they have received: being constantly blown up or possessed by ghosts. This idea stemmed from Church's attempt to deter them from doing so, in his endeavors to change the past. After O'Malley kidnaps Lopez, however, she puts aside her differences in order to help the soldiers retrieve him. Because Sheila cannot fit through the teleporter (and because her AI was hardwired into the tank by her manufacturers), she remains behind on Blood Gulch while the Reds and Blues leave to pursue O'Malley. After a brief encounter with a time-traveling Church, who whispers a plan to her, Sheila powers down and presumably remains alone as the sole inhabitant of Blood Gulch for the better part of a millennium. It is thought that she may be the source of the distress signal that the Reds hear in season 3, as Church's plan included the words "a thousand years." A deleted scene on the Season Four DVD confirms that she is ordered to send out the distress signal and disguises her voice. In addition, all of the Reds except Sarge see her drive past the Red Base in Blood Gulch upon their return. When Sarge demotes Simmons for his talk of "imaginary" tanks, she helps Simmons attempt his revenge on the Reds, despite being unable to recognize the team as her enemies due to faltering memory units. She also expresses dissatisfaction when Church later collects all the vehicles available to the Blue Base in Blood Gulch; Church perceives her reaction as jealousy. As of Season 5, Church notes that Sheila has been acting aggressive lately and saying "random threatening things." Soon after this, when Tex arrives, Church inquires if O'Malley, the evil AI who had just recently jumped out of Doc, could be possessing Sheila. After Sheila had been shut down in order to find out what was wrong with her, Caboose demanded that she be turned back on, as she was about to tell him whom O'Malley was possessing. Tex explained that the tank was far too damaged to be reactivated (possibly explaining her increasingly violent behavior), so they decided to transfer Sheila's AI into the Pelican that Sister had arrived in. She is pleasantly surprised by the roominess of her new home, and later tells Caboose that O'Malley has moved into the Blue leader (Captain Flowers). Her tank body is then taken over by the AI Gary. Later they link the ship up to the tank and she locks Gary behind a firewall. She is believed to be killed by Andy when her space ship appears to explode in the final episode of the Blood Gulch Chronicles. However, it is revealed in Reconstruction that Sheila survived the explosion and is still present within the crashed ship at Outpost 17-B. As a result of the damage from the explosion, she functions only at minimal capacity and stutters when speaking.
Name: Blarggity Blarg-Tucker
Age: 3 days
Gender: Male
Rank: Alien
Armor: Cyan and blue
Height: 3'2 Weight: 65
Junior first appeared at the end of episode 77, in voice only. It is the result of the Alien supposedly impregnating Tucker, who is the "mother," with a parasitic embryo. The exact details of the birth are unknown as they take place off screen. He returns in season 5, and because he has "lots of energy," causes havoc in the Blue Base. Doc feeds him with some of Caboose's blood by exposing some bare skin. Junior first appears physically in episode 80, and is a mini-version of the Alien, with cyan and blue armor. Its existence has quickly caught the ire of a frustrated and enraged Church who has threatened to kill it in multiple instances. In episode 84, Church introduces Tucker, the creature's "mother" to it, to Tucker's confusion. Tucker has briefly been shown acting protective of it, snapping at Church when the latter refers to it in his flippant manner. In episode 91, Tucker is heard to call him Junior, and in episode 94, Junior channels Tucker's catch phrase by saying "Bow-Chicka-Honk-Honk." Following this, Junior is sent through the caves with Doc and Sister, where he is found by a very interested Captain Butch Flowers, the current host of O'Malley. According to episode 97, Junior apparently has a grand destiny to fulfill; this is revealed to be the fact that he is to be the savior of the Alien race noted in the Prophecy told by his Alien father. The villains, however, intend O'Malley to infect him and use the control of their religion for their own purposes. Junior's fate is not confirmed. He is last seen aboard the ship, which appears to explode, but nothing is made
Name: Captain Butch Flowers
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Rank: Capitan
Armor: Cyan Blue.
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'2 Weight: 128
Captain Butch Flowers was the Blue Team's previous commanding officer at Blood Gulch. His character is introduced when Church arrives at the past Blood Gulch after traveling back in time. Flowers and Tucker had planned to pull out of Blood Gulch, but when the then current Church arrived with the news that the Blue base on Sidewinder had been wiped out, they were forced to abandon this effort. Flowers had been planning to lead a Blue offensive to destroy the Red Team in Blood Gulch, and knew the key to the Blues' victory. However, before he can lead the attack or reveal his plans—and order a sniper rifle for Tucker—he dies from what Church and Tucker assume is a heart attack in his sleep. It turns out that the time-traveling Church's attempt to save Flowers' life is exactly what causes his death; Flowers suffers a fatal allergic reaction to the aspirin in the medication that Church gives him. After Flowers' death, Tucker, who had been wearing regulation blue armor, claims his captain's armor for himself. In season 5, it is revealed that one of the Blues is to be promoted to captain, and Griff's sister is sent to fill the discrepancy. Captain Flowers returns in episode 96, wearing regulation blue armor, accompanied by a new alien. He is revealed to be O'Malley's current host, and expresses a strong interest in Junior. Andy reveals in episode 97 that the New Alien brought him back to life to help him locate the previous Alien. In episode 99, he talks to Vic Jr. where they discuss their plans concerning Junior, and Flowers mentions that the New Alien is still unaware of their intentions to corrupt his race. Once O'Malley leaves his body he rejoins the Blue team in the final episode, but is shot in the head before he has a chance to reveal the information key to the Blues' victory, due to delaying for an overly extended dramatic pause. Tucker said he was glad since he did not want to give back his armor.
Name: Andrew D. Kaboom
Age: None
Gender: Supposed Male
Rank: Bomb
Armor: Dark Brown
Height: 1'3 Weight: 625
Built by Tex, Andy is the short-tempered, rude, and vulgar bomb that Caboose carries into the fortress. Andy also expresses a desire to destroy things by detonating himself, much to the worry of the Blue Team, who attempts to calm him down. However, Andy later wishes to avoid detonation when Tex threatens to detonate him if he will not translate for them. However, this desire resurfaces later when Andy attempts to convince Church to let him guard, and destroy in the process, the Blue Base. Caboose reveals that Andy had told him about the Reds' secret meeting, but the rest of the Blues refuse to believe Caboose at first, as Andy remains silent when they approach. However, he has an outburst when Gary insults him and reveals that the two "are not on speaking terms." Because Tex built Andy from the remains of an old protocol droid found on the perimeter of the base, he is able to understand the Alien's language, and, as such, joins the sacred quest group to act as a translator. After the failure of the quest, Caboose brings him back to the gulch. In episode 76, the Reds steal Andy to translate a recording for them, and their methods leave Caboose with the impression that Andy is dead. In the next episode, Andy explains to Church that the Alien had impregnated Tucker. Late in Season Five, it is revealed Andy is also in the underground cave, working with the mysterious alien and Captain Flowers as a translator. He is also fully aware of the importance of Junior to Wyoming and O'Malley, but no one has listened to his explanation thus far before cutting him off. Andy is apparently self-conscious about his weight. In episode 75, after O'Malley repeatedly calls him "bowling ball," Andy asks Caboose if he does indeed resemble one, claiming that he has been working out. When Sarge steals Andy, and then remarks that Andy is much lighter than the last time he tried to pick him up, Andy is relieved that someone has noticed. Later, he worked for O'Malley (who had possessed Captain Flowers) but was left in the caves after Flowers learned enough Alien language to get by. The Red Team soon finds Andy, but they also leave him behind. They return to pick him up in episode 100 and plant him in the ship as a contingency plan, and order him to detonate if O'Malley tries to escape in the ship. In almost all of the endings, Andy does do, seemingly killing everyone aboard. Andy's fate is expanded upon somewhat in the fifth chapter of the Reconstruction series. Andy had exploded, but while the blast did not destroy him it caused major damage to the ship. Andy's fate after the crash landing is unknown.
Name: Vickory
Vic, a sardonic and frequently unhelpful communications officer, is the Blue Team's contact at Blue Command. A misunderstanding between him and a time-traveling Church recons events and leaves Vic under the impression that Red and Blue are the same, with the result that Vic also becomes the Red Team's contact at Red Command. The miscommunication is unrealized by Church, and this change is entirely unknown to him and the rest of the Reds and Blues, except for Tucker, who accidentally intercepts a communication between Sarge and Vic. However, no member of either team believes Tucker, as he is knocked unconscious when he makes the discovery, and Vic manages to contact Sarge and warn against listening to Tucker before the latter tells everyone. Vic is apparently working with O'Malley to some degree, although he seems to regard O'Malley as more of a necessary annoyance than a partner, and O'Malley hires an assassin called Wyoming to kill Tucker in order to preserve the secret that Red and Blue are the same.
Vic behaves like an annoying, ineffective technical support guy, constantly calling people "dude" and often offering obtuse and unhelpful advice and biting insults. He can be quite inappropriate, at one point forcing Doc into a lengthy conversation about Vic's sterility in episode 34. Vic is portrayed as over-the-top annoying from Episode 20 so the character would be memorable to viewers.
Name: Virtual Intelligent Computer AKA Vic Jr.
Vic Jr. originally appears at the end of episode 71, when Church accidentally contacts him via radio, and reveals himself to be a distant future descendant of the Vic from the present. Vic Jr. scoffs at Church's mention of Blue Command and notes that there is a lot of information to divulge. Neither this information nor the nature of the organization to which Vic Jr. actually belong has yet been revealed. It has also not yet been explained how Vic has been able to have descendants, as he had previously mentioned his vasectomy to Doc. This fact was acknowledged in episode 75, but not resolved. Toward the beginning of Season 5, Church attempted to contact Vic Jr. for reinforcements, but Vic was not at his post and his message box turned out to be full after a lengthy and somewhat nonsensical set of instructions. He later contacted Church, telling him to immediately attack the Red base, going through the caves, and then hanging up before Church could get any more information. Not long after, he is contacted by the Reds, but hangs up when he somehow notices Simmons arriving at the surveillance console in the caverns. It is yet to be revealed where he is located, though Simmons, unaware of who Sarge was talking to, maintains that Vic Jr. is in the cavern somewhere. In episode 99, Flowers is seen standing in front of the computer screen talking and Vic Jr. is heard responding, although his exact location is still unclear. He appears in the second ending of episode 100, where Sarge calls him for reinforcements. Vic Jr. tells Sarge that he ruined the plan by destroying the ship, making Sarge destroy the underground computer in anger. He does not appear in the first and the third endings.
