Outside of Red base, Sarge was conducting a plan to rescue Donut.
"Men, with Donut captured, I think we should abandon our previous plans of not attacking the Blues and institute a new plan, of attacking the Blues."
"Good." Simmons agrees.
"Winning the war is one thing, but having a man captured is quite another. I can't stand by knowing we've left a man behind! So I need a volunteer to run a suicide rescue mission. This won't be easy, and you're almost certain to die!" Sarge says looking at Grif the whole time.
"Why are you looking at me when you say that?"
"Thanks for volunteering, Grif! Now the plan is to run straight at Blue Base, grab Donut, and carry him home over your shoulder, even if he's not hurt. That way when the Blues track you down to kill ya, Donut will still have fresh legs to run home and avoid recapture." Donut was walking up behind Sarge. Simmons sees this.
"Um, sir?"
"Quiet, Simmons! You've been too unreliable lately for a suicide mission. I think I need to go with a pro."
"Gee thanks, sir." Grif says not expecting that.
"Just get him back here! I can't stand Donut being captured another minute!"
"Aw, that's sweet, Sarge! Thank you!" Sarge turns to his right and sees Donut without a scratch on him.
"What the-?"
"Mission accomplished, sir." Grif states.
"Excellent work, Private Grif!"
"Thanks, sir. Request permission to go AWOL for a few months?"
"Permission denied."
"Eh. Had to try."
"Donut, you're back! Are you okay? You look fine to me." Sarge says looking him over.
"I do? Well, I did switch to a new armor polish recently. Thanks for noticing, Sarge."
"No, I mean they didn't hurt you!"
"Hurt me? Oh no, not at all. And it's not a "them" over there, it's only a "him." They only have one guy now."
"Just one soldier, eh? That seems like it could be a tactical advantage."
"We already knew that!" Simmons exclaims.
"And now it's confirmed."
"Permission to switch Simmons to the Blue Team, sir?" Grif asks.
"Permission denied."
"Eh. Had to try."
"Screw it. I'm gonna go help Lopez with the jeep." Simmons walks off.
"Wait isn't that Rex's job?"
"Rex is in the hologram chamber trying make some upgrades to the Warthog. Okay, Donut. I want as much information as possible. Let's get you debriefed." Sarge says leading him to the side of the base.
"That sounds like fun. Boy, things have really changed around here."
"That's not what I meant!" From far off, Caboose is watching with some type of device in hand.
"Okay, Epsilon. Let's get in there. And try to stay quiet. It's sneaking time." Caboose runs off towards Red base. Simmons is standing beside Lopez, who is fixing the jeep. Caboose is hiding behind one of the barricades beside them. Moving from one crate to the other.
