SMG4: The Good, the Bad and the Crazy

Operation ROC

Well uh... Since there's finally nothing weird happening, now we can get to work to what we call: normal. Twas a beautiful day at the OCA's secluded base of operations: a massive fortress tucked away deep within a dense forest. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the robots were all standing idly by their defensive positions.

In the base's lounge area, Turco walked in, clutching his head and carrying an empty bottle of scrumpy with him. The other OCs, aside from Infinite, all took notice of his sudden entrance and all turned their attention to him.

"You look like shit," Phoenix pointed out.

"Shut up," the yellow capped man responded, tossing his bottle away, "Speak for yourselves, you all look like you just watched one of us die."

There was an awkward silence among the group for a few seconds, only for it to be broken by Splendid.

"... Do you... regret going through with the plan?" asked the cyborg.

"Oh come on now, get over it. This was gonna happen sooner or later, it's what we signed up for. You'll get over it soon enough," Turco assured him,

"Have you?"

Turco looked at the cyborg, confused. He then turned away, telling him:

"What's done is done. Not like we can abandon ship now."

Suddenly, a walkie talkie table came alive, as suddenly, a robotic voice began to say:

"Excuse me, bosses, your uber eats are here,"

"Oh great, something to break me out of my hangover..." Turco said, relieved. That was when he noticed everyone was glancing around, confused.

"We didn't order anything..." Cristina admitted.

Letting out a collective gasp, they all rushed to the window to look out to the fortress' main yard.

Meanwhile

The Deathbus gunned it at full speed towards the metal gates of the fortress, now slowly closing as the robots were seeing through their ruse... which was mostly just an UberEats sign taped to the front.

Mr Spletzer clutched the wheel tightly as he kept the vehicle on track.

"Steady..." he muttered beneath his mask. Meanwhile behind them, the rest of the team readied their weapons for the approaching battle.

Cocking his kingsman pistol, Aeris rushed over to the front seat by Mr Spletzer's side, just as the robots started firing on the bus.

"Can we go any faster?!"

"We're going as fast as we can, son!" the older inkling told him. Then, grabbing him, he suddenly shoved him into the driver's seat.

"Here, you take the wheel!" he told him.

"What?! I don't know how to drive!" the inkling shouted.

"Good! First time for everything!" the hitman shouted, before grabbing his sniper rifle and firing through one of the windows, taking out a robot soldier just as it was attempting to set the vehicle alight with his rocket launcher, causing him to miss and accidentally blow up a few of his comrades instead.

Panicking, the younger inkling grabbed the wheel, struggling to keep it in place and keep the vehicle on target as he placed his foot on the gas. It actually wasn't that bad. Maybe, he could actually do it-

Bang!

A bullet suddenly struck one of the tires, popping it. Jumping up in surprise from the sudden shock of it, Aeris accidentally turned the wheel, which caused the bus to swerve and crash through the gate, rolling in on itself into the middle of the yard.
