Check Out the Treads on That Tank

Church and Tucker are behind a rock with bullets hitting the canyon wall behind them.

Church: My god, doesn't that thing ever run out of bullets?

"Even he can tell that it shouldn't be like that." Marcy said.

Tucker: You know, in hindsight, we should have brought the tank.

Church: Hey, Tucker, what good is a tank gonna do us if nobody here knows how to drive it?

Tucker: Yeah, I can see how hiding behind a rock is a much better strategy.

"He got him there." Mabel said with a chuckle. "Yeahaha, he really did." Luz said.

Church: Well, yeah, but... oh man, I guess I gotta give that one to ya.

Cut to Caboose hopping in the tank. As the canopy closes, the tank turns on.

Tank: Hello, and thank you for activating the M808V Main Battle Tank. You may call me Sheila.

"The tank can talk!" "That's why it's called Sheila!" Marco and Sasha said in surprise. "What does the M8o8V supposed to mean?" Molly asks. "No clue?" Marcy says with a shrug.

Caboose: Hello. Sheila. Big tank lady.

Sheila: Would you like me to run the tutorial program?

"A tutorial program!" Anne said in surprise. "So the blue armies way to teach their soldiers to drive a tank is by having a tutorial in it?" Star said. "That is just stupid." Marco said. "But doesn't that help the blues? Wouldn't a training program be good?" Molly asks. "Sure.... If they were in basic training and not in actual combat with the enemy team on the other side." Marcy explains, "oh. I think I see what you mean." Molly said. "..... Wait? Could the tank drive itself?" Sasha asks as everyone was thinking.

".....Maybe? But I can't say for sure." Dipper told her. "If it can, then it would make it cooler." Polly said with glee.

Caboose: Oh, that'd be very nice. Thank you.

Sheila: Tutorial program activated. This program is intended to instruct non-certified personnel in the use of this Scorpion class tank. Let's begin with some driving.

"Scorpion?" Scratch said and then adds. "Why are two of the vehicles so far are named after animals?" "To give them a cool name?" Luz said with a shrug. "I don't know the reason but I can see why scorpion since a tanks blast is like a scorpion sting." Marcy said. "Is it anything like the Scorpileo that almost me, Polly, and Hop Pop?" Sprig asks.

"You ran into one of those!?" Marcy says. "Yeah! We would've been dead if Anne hadn't trapped it." Polly said as Anne was blushing in embarrassment. "I-it was nothing. I just followed the planter family dance." She said. "Like that was nothing!" Polly laughed. "Could we see the dance!?" Mabel asks her. "Sure.... If you guys are ok with others knowing it?" Anne asked the two planters. "I'm fine with that." "The more the merrier!"

Caboose: Okay.

Cut to Simmons firing the Warthog's gun with Grif on the ground behind him.

Grif: Simmons. SIMMONS!

Simmons stops firing, and steps down.

Grif: Man, that thing is loud.

Sheila drives by in the background.

Simmons: ...WHAT?

"He didn't had any soundproof earmuffs on? That's really unsafe." Marcy said. "Are we just gonna ignore the fact that Shelia just drove by without those two noticing?" Scratch said. "Yeah it's pretty funny." Molly said.

Grif: Come on, let's sneak around the back of the rock and get 'em out.

Simmons: OKAY.

Grif: Keep it down! Jesus. Let's go, before they figure out what's going on.

Cut to Caboose having Sheila stranded on a tall rock and turning to try to get off.

"I'm not gonna ask how he got stuck there." Sasha said.

Sheila: Now that you've mastered driving the M808V, let's move on to some of the safety features.

Caboose: No, no, wait, go back! Why are there six pedals if there are only four directions?

"Six pedals!? There should really be only two or three pedals! Amity said in anger. "Yeah and shouldn't the steering wheel be the thing that change directions?" Polly says In confusion. "What kind of tank did the blue army get?" Marcy asks. "A terrible one if the tutorial isn't good as we can see. Maybe they should've given them a manual book." Anne said.

Cut to Church peeking out from the side of the rock. Tucker is still standing behind it.

Church: (whispering) Psst, hey, they stopped firing.

Tucker/Star: Why are you whispering?

Church: (whispering) Uhm... I don't know.

Cut to Simmons and Grif standing at the foot of a cliff.

Grif: Aw, crap, I don't think we're gonna be able to get around this way.

Simmons: Tell me again, uh, why did we get out of the jeep?

Sheila rolls up right behind them.

"Uh oh!" Everyone said as they saw the tank rolled up.

Grif: Well, I guess it was this or sit there and watch you shoot rocks all day long.

Sheila's turret looks at Grif, then at Simmons as they speak.

Simmons: Well, at least that was fun.

"Yeah, probably for a few more minutes until you get bored." Marco said.

Grif and Simmons turn simultaneously to see the tank.

Grif: Holy CRAP. What in God's name is that thing?

"I believe one would call it... "Your doom."" Sasha said with a chuckle. "Hehehe good one." Polly said with a chuckle as well.

Cut to Church and Tucker looking at the vacant Warthog.

Church: Tucker, don't be stupid. They're just trying to draw us out.

Tucker: No they're not, look - they left the jeep. They're gone.

Church: Well, I don't know about this. It seems pretty fishy, but... alright screw it, let's go get it.

"I believe this is a fine example of never leaving your stuff unattended." Dipper said as he glared at Mabel. "What?" She said in confusion. "You took my towel for a blanket fort and I couldn't get out of the bathroom because I had no clothes!?" Dipper yelled in anger. "I know that feeling. The only difference is, is that a certain someone just steals my clothes because she thinks it's funny." Marco said as he glared at Star who looks away with a, I don't regret doing that I will not stop doing it look, while trying to not laugh out loud.

Cut to Sheila's HUD. Her cross hair slowly homes in on Grif's head.

Grif: Dude, hold still. I don't think it sees us.

"It's not a T. rex dude!" Anne yells.

A tone goes off indicating target lock.

(The screen goes to black until)

Narrator: Coming up on Red vs. Blue:

"Wait what?" Dipper said in confusion.

You've watched them for seven episodes. But next week, the unthinkable! Someone. Will. Die!

"WHAT!?!" Almost everyone yelled in surprise of what they were told.

Sarge: ...I sure hope it's Grif.

"Taking all bets everyone! Taking all bets!" Scratch yelled.
