Agent Arizona: Season 15

Prologue

A blue soldier sets an egg timer from behind a wall. Two other soldiers dressed in red and aqua watch him.

Two UNSC soldiers walk around a corner.

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction! That's Fig Newton bunny!" McCready explains.

"Uh-huh." Casio responds as they walk through the complex.  

"You touch my baked beans, I put dog crap in your pillow case. Action. Reaction. That's Rule Number 1."

"Got it. Don't touch your beans." Casio nods.

"Rule Number 2: Every other person in this miserable place is literal garbage. Don't talk to them, don't listen to them, don't become cute friends with them!" McCready orders.  

"Got it, no friends."

"Rule Number 3: Keep your radio on at all times!"

Another soldier known as Vargas runs up the stairs to them. "Hey, McCready! Your...radio's off."

"I'm busy!" McCready snaps.

"Something tripped the motion sensor, one floor down. Command wants you to take a look."  

"Freaking Command...do I look like a goddamn exterminator? Vargas, show this bunny around." McCready runs off, leaving Vargas and Casio.

"He's, uh, always like that." Vargas shrugs.

"Freaking morons!" McCready yells.

"All bite, no bark. So, first deployment?" Vargas asks.

"Mmhmm." Casio nods again.

Vargas and Casio walk down the stairs. The blue soldier, who is waiting behind a wall at the bottom, walks backwards around a corner to hide.

"Well, if you signed up looking for action, you won't be finding it here. We're a long way from Chorus." Vargas points out to Casio.

"No, I don't want to fight anyone." Casio shakes her head.

"Ain't that the whole deal?" Vargas says confused. The red and aqua soldier run past them unnoticed.

"Tuition!' Casio clarifies. "When I get out I'll have a full ride to the college of my choice. I'm going to be a botanist."

"Botanist, huh? Well, I've never much trusted robots myself, but that's just because I grew up in the South. Out here, your main enemy is boredom...boredom and a CO who really loves putting dog crap in pillow cases." Vargas sighs.

"Oh, I anticipated the boredom. That's why I brought along some books on tape."

"Books on tape? What's the appeal of that? Don't the pages get stuck together?"

Suddenly the egg timer the blue soldier set before goes off and engulfs the entire base in flames. The blue soldier and a brown robot watch as it burns the place around them.

A UNSC Wasp takes aim at them but is then shot down by a Pelican that flies by. The aqua soldier stabs Casio in the head and kicks her lifeless body to the ground while his pink armored comrade watches. The Pelican from before then descends to the platform where the colored soldiers all regroup and watch as their leader dressed in cobalt armor walks down the ramp of their Pelican.

Vargas watches them all in absolute fear. "You...you killed them! All of them! YOU FREAKING MONSTERS!"

Vargas pulls out his knife and charges at the cobalt soldier. But he immediately gets stopped by something grabbing his throat and holding him up. Vargas chokes as he drops his knife. Suddenly black and red Hayabusa armor appears revealing it to be a soldier dressed in those colors. He then crushes Vargas's larynx and drops the dead soldier. He turns and nods to the cobalt soldier who nods back.
