"So yeah, they have a giant robot now."

Grif and Simmons had just gotten back from scouting near Blue base. Sarge usually sent them on these scouting missions everyday, in case the blues ever did something. They were expecting to see the Blues just standing around and bob their heads as they talk, as was the usual. This trip however, gave them quite the surprise to see.

"I'm wondering how they managed to sneak that thing in. That thing would require a pelican to drop in." Simmons asked.

"Oh I love Pelicans. I just love how much they can put in their throat." Donut commented.

"That is not the bird he was referring to, bird for brains. Didn't they teach you anything during the basics?" Sarge said with agitation.

"All I learned was how to wield my gun and where to point it." Donut answered.

"Ugh. That's not what he meant." Grif said, "That aside, what should we do about the robot sir?"

"I know exactly what we must do… We must strike immediately!" Sarge exclaimed.

"What!"

"Huh?"

"Are you kidding me!?"

"Don't you see, if we don't attack right now while we have the element of surprise, they will surely attack us! Just like when they first got their tank." Sarge rationalize.

"Are you kidding sir!" Grif exclaimed, not wanting to fight a giant robot, "That thing has a missile launcher from attack helicopters for one arm, and a mini gun for the other!"

"Which just furthers my point! With the warthog barely working, we can't take it head on. So we must take it down while they are still assembling it." Sarge shouted, wanting to keep the Red's team advantage over the Blues.

"Uh, hate to break it to you Sarge, but it's already assembled." Simmons said, hoping to calm him down and think rationally. It ended up having the opposite effect.

"It's already assembled! Then we leave at once! To victory!" Sarge shouted as he ran towards Blue base.

"Wait a minute, Sarge." Simmons cried out as he ran after him. "We haven't prepared yet!"

"Hey! Wait for me!" Donut shouted, not wanting to be left behind.

Grif could only sigh as his team ran head first into danger.

"I've got a bad feeling about this." He said as he tried to run after them. He failed.

"Hey Church, we have a problem." Tucker said to Church. It has been a few hours since Freckles joined their team. Freckles claimed Caboose to be its operator, causing some concern between Tucker and Church. However Freckles was not his concern at the moment.

"I am not your mother, so don't come tattling to me every time one of you does something that the other one doesn't like!" Church replies to Tucker. Church was Tucker's and Caboose's constant bickering. It had lasted for the last 2 -3 months, and he was sick of it. Besides, Church was busy trying to remember exactly what happened when he tried to possess Freckles.

Church was sure Tucker was going to complain about Caboose having a giant robot. Not like they could get rid of it. The Red's would more than likely use the robot against them if they did. So he figured it was better on their side.

"Incorrect." Freckles interjected, "As acting captain, you have to keep your squad working together to avoid discord during battle."

"Look, you may be well verse in protocols, but you clearly do not know about the Red's." Church said as he turned to Freckles. He saw Freckles crouching next to Caboose because he told him to sit. Church was fine with Caboose treating Freckles as a dog, so long as he doesn't attack them.
