Grif and Simmons ran up to the roof of the Red Base and saw Donut standing there with the flag!

Donut: What happened?

Grif: BIG. . . TANK. . . SHOOT. . . WHOOO. . . .

Grif was completely out of breath.

Simmons: Damn man, we only ran like 300 feet. You are REALLY out of shape.

Grif: FUCK. . . YOU. . . .

Donut: Where's your car?

Simmons: General Patton here thought it was a good idea to leave it behind.

Grif: It would've worked if it wasn't for the tank.

Donut: You lost the jeep? Oh man, Lopez is gonna be pissed. Where is it?

As if on cue, the Warthog was blasted over the base and onto the roof!

Grif: What the hell?

A second blast hit the wall beside them!

Grif: SON OF A BITCH!!!!!

The three panicked! Donut grabbed the flag and looked to his teammates.

Donut: What the hell is that thing?!

Grif: That's the tank!

Donut: Hey, Grif. . . you wanna hold the flag?

Grif: No! Get that thing away from me!

Simmons then took notice of something. . . .

Simmons: Hey, where's Ruby?

They heard a cry of agony! The girl in question limped onto the roof while another blast hit the wall!

Ruby: Crap! Crap! Crap!

Donut/Grif/Simmons: Oh shit!

*With the Blues*

Tucker stood beside the tank as Caboose continued to fire at the jeep.

Tucker: Why are you still firing at the jeep?

Caboose: Because it's locked on.

Sheila: Target locked.

Tucker: Well unlock it!

Caboose: Last time I unlocked it, I killed Church!

Tucker: Oh, right. Keep shooting the keep then.

*With the Reds*

They were all taking cover, Ruby leaning against a wall beside Donut who was still holding the flag.

Donut: I hate to be the one to point this out, guys, but I think we're screwed!

Ruby: Donut, please be quiet.

Simmons: I agree with the rookie on this one.

Ruby: YOU TWO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TALKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grif: Shit, we pissed her off.

Suddenly the radio turned on.

Sarge: Blood Gulch Outpost #1. Come in Blood Gulch Outpost #1, come in. Do you read me? This Sergeant-

Ruby: Oh my god! Sarge?!

Sarge: Roger that, little lady. I am currently inbound to your position from command. I hope everything's gone alright while I've been gone.

Ruby: EVERYTHING IS NOT ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarge immediately shivered, they girl was pissed.

Ruby: The rookie arrived, took the Blue team's flag and got back to base! Bad news is we're pinned down, the jeep is broken, one of the Blues is dead, I have a broken leg, and there is a tank about to FREAKING KILL US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was nothing but silence for a few seconds. . . .

Sarge: Am I talking to the r-

Ruby: SARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarge: H-Hold tight boys, ma'am! I think I've got a solution to your tank problem!

*With the Blues*

Tucker looked up to see a Pelican ship.

Tucker: Uh-oh. H-Hey Caboose, you might wanna get out of the tank. Like, right now.

He began to back up.

Caboose: I can't figure out how to get this thing open!

Sheila: Night vision engaged.

Tucker: Rookie, get out now!

Caboose: Okay, open the do- okay alright. Sheila, would you please open the door?

Explosions moved towards them as the Pelican fired!

Sheila: Driver canopy opened.

Caboose jumped out of the tank as the Pelican's fire hit it!

Sheila: Thank you for using the M8O8V Main Battle Ta-

The tank was flipped over as Caboose ran! He arrived next to Tucker.

Caboose: Man, that was close.

Tucker: Look at your tank though.

Sheila: I'm scared Dave. Will I dream? Daaaai-sy. . . Daaaaaai-sy. . . .

Caboose: SHEEEEEEILAAAAAAA, NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Tucker: What?! No! Sheila, Sheila! Wait, who's Sheila?

Caboose: She's the lady in the tank. She was my friend. . . .

Tucker: Oh dude! I knew you could pick up chicks in a tank!
