The Kappa Chronicles (TDC 3)

Chapter 1: Just For Starters

My name is Robert Thomas Beckett. Sometimes called Yellow, sometimes North Dakota, and sometimes Kappa. I was created by the original Robert Beckett to take care of Team Delta, an elite team of Freelancers working for a corrupt company. The leaders were faulty, and the agents were blind. They went Rogue, and North Dakota was presumed deceased, but he lived on through me. I was sent to Simulation Facility #15, aka Blood Gulch, to take care of the sim troopers. I helped them, and when Agent Oregon showed up looking for the Meta, Blue Team (which I had joined) assisted him. We failed, and I was lost to them along with Alpha. Epsilon, a newer version of Alpha, joined me shortly, and we actually were living peacefully inside a dying memory unit, but then we were rescued. We then went after the Director, met Carolina, defeated an army of evil robots, and found the Director. His fate, however, is unknown. We crash landed on a strange planet in a canyon. The Freelancers left, all except Arizona.. and the Freelancers took Epsilon and Theta, my only true friends, with them. So now it's just the reds, blues, Arizona, and me trying to survive in a canyon. Whoop-dee-frikkin'-doo. This couldn't possibly be any worse..... Or could it? Time would tell...

Sarge walked over to Caboose. "Caboose! I have a proposition for you!"

"Well! How kind of you!"

The canyon that they were stranded in was blocked from the rest of the world by wreckage from their ship.

"Tucker! The Reds have a proposition for us! We should really send them a fruit basket."

"Proposition just means a choice, moron!"

"Oh. We should still send them a fruit basket."

"You irritate me."

Kappa's hard-light form was perched atop Arizona's shoulder. Arizona was making a journal entry when he heard a loud

BOOM!

"What the heck was that?"

Kappa stood. "A shot from an M808B Main Battle Tank. We should check that out."

Arizona ran to go find the tank, leaving Kappa staring off into the distance. "They took my brother..."

------------------------------------

Arizona ran over to Red Base. "Freakin' idiots blowin' holes everywhere." He finally reached his destination, where he saw the Reds blowing holes in the mountain using HIS TANK! "What are you doing?"

"Well hello there, our friend/enemy Agent Arizona! We're just doing some construction work!" Sarge said.

"And which one of my men authorized this? Wait.. It was Caboose, wasn't i-"

Caboose walked up behind him. "Maybe."

Sarge fired at Grif, this time hitting him. "BULL's EYE!"

"Excellent shot, sir!"

Arizona growled. "Get out of the tank."
