We cut with Chruch and Tucker as they are still hiding behind a rock in the cliffs as a bunch of bullets hit the rock behind them.

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

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

Chuch: 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.

Church: Well, yeah, but...Aw man. I guess I gotta give that to you.

(Meanwhile: With Caboose)

We cut to Caboose as he enters the tank and it turns on.

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

Caboose: Hello. Sheila. Big tank lady.

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

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

Shelia: "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."

Caboose then starts to drive the tank.

(With The Reds)

We cut to the Reds where we see Grif and Y/N on the ground as they watch Simmons firing the chaingun.

Grif: Simmons! SIMMONS!!!

Matthew: (coms) Simmons, hold your fire and get off the gun!

Simmons stops firing and gets off the gunner seat and they don't notice the tank that's being driven in the background.

Y/N: God, that thing is loud.

Simmons: WHAT?!

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

Simmons: OKAY!

Matthew: (coms) Guys, escort Donut back to base. It's time to retreat.

Y/N: Matthew, it's only three of us and two of them. We can take them out. Also, keep it down Simmons!

Grif: Come on, let's go, before they figure out what's going on.

We then cut to Caboose as he is stuck on a tall rock and is trying to drive his way out.

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?

(Meanwhile: With Church And Tucker)

Church is seen crouching as he peaks to the side and sees the reds have stopped firing. He then turns to Tucker who is standing behind him.

Church: Psst, hey! They stopped firing.

Tucker: Why are you whispering?

Church: Um...I don't know.

(Meanwhile: With The Reds)

We cut to the Reds as they are standing looking at the wall of the cliff.

Matthew: (coms) Guys, I'm ordering you to come back to base! I don't care if you have the advantage I'm telling you to retreat! Forget about them and abort right now!

Grif: Ah, 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?

The tank then rolls up behind them which Y/N notices.

Y/N: Uh guys?

Grif: (doesn't listen) Well, I guess it was this or sit there and watch you shoot rocks all day long

Y/N: Guys?

Simmons: (doesn't listen) Well, at least that was fun

Y/N: GUYS!!!

Simmons/Grif: (looks at Y/N) WHAT?!

They then notice the tank.

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

Y/N: That is a tank Grif. A tank commandeer by a blue.

Matthew sees the tank from Red Base.

Matthew: (coms)... shit... guys?

Y/N: (coms) Yeah, we see it.

We then cut back to Tucker and Church as they look down at the puma.

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.

We cut to a view of Sheila HUD as she aims her cannon at Grif.

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

Matthew: (coms) Stay right there, guys... I'm on my way. (coms shut off)

The tank points its cannon at Grif, then to Simmons and then Y/N.

Grif: Why is it just sitting there?

Simmons: Just trying to mess with our heads.

Y/N: Or something else.

Simmons: Let's get back to the warthog.

We cut to a view of Shelia's hud as she continues to look at the reds while talking to Caboose.

Sheila: "This tank is equipped with an auto-sequence that can be activated by pressing the auto-fire button."

Caboose: Auto-fire... auto-fire... here, here! No, wait... Okay, that's more of a switch than a button.

(Meanwhile: With The Reds)

Simmons: Okay, you ready? Let's do this on three. One.

Grif: Wait! On there? Or three and then go?

Simmons: On three. It's always faster to go on three.

Grif: Okay! Okay! On three!

(Meanwhile: With Caboose)

Caboose: Here! (clicks a button)

Sheila: "Tutorial deactivated. Auto-fire sequence activated."

(Meanwhile: With The Reds)

Simmons: Ready?

(Meanwhile: With Caboose)

Shelia: "Acquiring target."

(Meanwhile: With Church And Tucker)

Church: (looks at Tucker) I'm going to the jeep. Cover me.

With the Reds as they continue to look at the tank while Grif slowly walks towards the puma.

Simmons: Two...

We cut to Shelia's HUD where we see her aim the cannon at Grif.

Shelia: "Target locked."

With Grif running as fast as he can to the puma.

Grif: (heavily panting) Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!

We then cut to Church running towards the puma.

Simmons: Three!

Y/N and Simmons turn around to see Grif running toward the puma.

Simmons/Y/N: Oh, you back-stabbing cockbite!/ That mother fucker!

Shelia: "Firing main cannon".

A tank shell fires as it passes Y/N and Simmons before hitting the warthog and flipping it.

Y/N: SON OF BITCH!

Simmons: (ducks) SON OF BITCH!

Grif: SON OF BITCH!

Church: SON OF BITCH! (runs back)

Matthew (running his way to his team) SON OF BITCH!

Shelia: "Firing main cannon."

Y/N: SHIT! SIMMONS RUN!

Simmons: Shit!

Y/N and Simmons runs away as Shelia fires another shell.

Shelia: "Firing main cannon."

Shelia fires another shell as both, Grif, Y/N, and Simmons run for their lives.

Simmons: Shit, god dammnit!

Shelia: "Firing main cannon."

Sheila fires another shell as we cut back to Church running back to the cliff meeting with Tucker.

Tucker: Hey dude. The jeep blew up!

Church: No kidding! Thanks for the update, Tucker!

We cut to Y/N, Simmons, and Grif hiding behind a rock as Sheila fired another shell at the rock

Simmons: (mocking Grif) Hey, I have a great idea. Let's get out of the jeep, and sneak around the back of the rock. Great plan you idiot!

Y/N: Not the time to putting blames, Simmons! And where the fuck is Matthew?!

Matthew: Right over here!

The Reds look to see Matthew with the sniper rifle behind rock a few yards away from them on his belly.

Grif: Oh thank god! Help us!

Matthew: With pleasure.

Matthew pokes his head out and aims his sniper at Sheila. He takes aim at her turret and fires two shots at the tank.

Sheila: "New target locked. Firing main cannon."

Sheila fires a round at Matthew's rock as the Corporal ducks for cover.

Matthew: (to the Reds) Get outta here, guys! I'll take it from here!

Y/N: Thanks! (runs away with Grif and Simmons)

Matthew opens coms.

Matthew: Y/N, once you're at the base, get into contact with Sarge if he's nearby! See if you can get him to call in an air strike!

Y/N: (coms) On it!

With Church And Tucker, we see Church standing in the open looking at the tank below him.

Church: Hey, Tucker! look at this, man. It's the rookie! And he brought the tank out to scare off the Reds.

Tucker: What? No way!

Church: (shouts at Caboose) Hey, rookie, good job, man! Why didn't you tell us you knew how to drive the tank?

Sheila: (begins to aim the cannon at Church) "New target acquired."

Caboose: That's not a target. That's Church

Church: Yeah, that's right, it's me, Church! What's going on, man?

With Matthew, he is crouched down watching what's happening.

Matthew: (whispering to himself) What the is that Blue tank Commander doing?

(Back to the Blues)

Sheila: (aims at Church) "Target locked."

Caboose: What? No! Target unlock! Unlock! Please help me, nice lady!

Sheila: "Firing main cannon."

Caboose: Uh-oh

Tucker: Uh-oh

Church: What? (realizes) Oh son of bi-

Sheila fires a shell and hits Church, sending him into the air before Church then lands back on the cliff face-planted.

Tucker: Holy fuck! Church, are you okay?

No Response.

Tucker: Talk to me! Church! (looks at Caboose) You shot Church, you team killing fucktard!

Matthew: (whispering and shocked) Oh my God.

We cut to Y/N peeping his head out of the rock as he just witnessed what just happened.

Y/N: Holy shit!

Simmons: What? What happened?

Y/N: That blue guy driving the tank just killed their own teammate!

Grif: Huh.....Neat.

(Meanwhile: With the Blues)

Sheila: "Auto-Fire sequence deactivated."

The cannon looks down and we cut back to Church's body.

Church: (barely alive) Tucker...Tucker!

Tucker: Church! It's going to be okay, man!

Church: (slowly dying) No...I...I'm not-I'm not gonna make it...Tucker...There's something I need to tell you

Tucker: What is it?

Church: (nearly dead) I just want you to know...I always hated you. I always hated you the most.

Tucker: Yeah, I know you did. Now hurry up and die, you prick.

Church: Okay. Hrrrrrk...Blegh!

Matthew: Welp, time to go!

The Ranger starts sprinting away.

Y/N, Grif, Matthew, and Simmons are running up the ramp onto the top of Red Base where they see Donut standing next to the flag

Donut: What happened?

Grif: (out of breath) BIG...TANK...SHOOT...WHOOO!!!

Simmons: Damn, man, we only ran three hundred feet. You are really out of shape.

Y/N: This is what happens when you don't exercise, fatass.

Grif: (still out of breath) FUCK...YOU...GUYS!

Matthew: You're ass is going on PT with me once this is done.

Donut: Where's your car?

Simmons: General Patton here had a great strategy to leave it behind.

Grif: Hey, it would've worked if that tank hadn't shown up.

Donut: You lost the jeep? Oh man, Lopez is gonna be pissed. Where is it?

Y/N: Well...

Suddenly an explosion is heard and the Warthog is seen flipping around before landing on top of the base.

Y/N: There it is.

Grif: What the hell?

Matthew: That doesn't seem possible.

Y/N: (notices something in the distance) MATTHEW GET DOWN!!!

Y/N tackles Matthew to the ground as Sheila far away fires at them.

Matthew: OOF! Thanks, kid! I owe you one!

Donut: Oh crap! (grabs the flag) What the hell is that thing?

Y/N: That's the tank we mentioned!

Donut: Hey, uh...Grif, Uh, you wanna hold the flag for a little bit?

Grif: No, keep that away from me!

Sheila fires another shell.

Y/N: Where the hell is Lopez?!

(Meanwhile: With Lopez)

We cut to Lopez standing still inside the base as we cut to his HUD saying updating software that is 45% complete.

(Meanwhile: With The Blues)

We cut with the blues as Caboose is seen inside the tank with Tucker standing next to the tank. Sheila fires another shell at the jeep and Tucker looks at Caboose.

Tucker: Why do you keep firing the jeep?!

Caboose: Because it's locked on!

Shelia: "Target locked."

Tucker: Well, unlock it!

Caboose: Last time I unlocked it, I killed Church!

Tucker: Oh, right......Keep shooting the jeep, then.

(With The Reds)

We cut to the reds crouching behind the ramps. Another tank shell hits the base.

Matthew: (to Y/N) Get on the fucking radio I told you about!

Matthew fires the last two rounds of the sniper at the tank's turret.

Y/N: Screw it! We can't just sit here while waiting for our death! I'll be right back

Y/N then leaves and Donut looks at Matthew, Simmons and Grif confused.

Donut: Where is he going?

Y/N then comes back up carrying a new weapon.

(The Halo 5 version)

Y/N: SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!!

Y/N aims the rocket launcher at the tank and fires a bunch of missiles at it.

Tucker: Oh shit!

Tucker ducks as twelve missiles hit Shelia. Sheila starts to glitch and the tank looks to be dented and a bit on fire.

Matthew:... That didn't destroy it, you know... Stay put I'm going to disable it. And radio Sarge in, Private!

Matthew runs off the base goes towards the tank.

Caboose: Tucker, tank lady is on fire!

Shelia: "Target l-l-l-l-lo-lo-cked."

Sheila fires at Y/N who quickly ducks and hides next to Grif and Simmons.

Y/N: Well I'm out of ideas....And ammo.

Donut: I hate to be the one to point this out, guys. But I think we're screwed.

Simmons: (Looks at Y/N and Grif ) Yeah, I have to agree with the rookie on this one.

Y/N: No shit sherlock!

Suddenly Grif, Y/N, and Simmons hear radio sounds and we transitioned to two pelicans flying over the seas.

Sarge: (coms) Blood Gulch Outpost Number One. Come in Blood Gulch Outpost, come in. Do you read me? This is Sergeant-

Grif: Oh my god, Sarge! Is that you?

Sarge: (coms) Roger that, Private. I am currently inbound to your position from Command.

Simmons: Sir! (explosion in the background) This is Simmons!

Sarge: (coms) Hello, Simmons. I hope everything has gone alright while I've been gone.

Y/N: Sarge. May I tell you something?

Sarge: (coms) Go ahead, Y/N

Y/N: Sarge, first off: The rookie arrived and these two fucking idiots told him to go and find some fucking elbow grease and headlight fluid and the fucking rookie believed it. (explosion in the background) But he somehow ended up in the blue base and took their flag by asking for it! (explosion in the background) Now we have their flag, the Warthog is mother fucking destroyed! (explosion in the background) One of the blue guys is dead, Lopez is fucking missing, Matthew is running off to do something stupid! And we are cornered as a- (explosion in the background) MOTHER FUCKING TANK IS DESTROYING THE FUCKING BASE!!!!

Sarge: (coms) ........(Radio Sounds)...........(Radio Sounds)..........(Radio sounds) Am I talking to the right base?

Y/N: SARGE WE ARE GOING TO FUCKING DIE HERE!!!

Sarge: (coms) Well then, hold tight, boys. I think I've got a solution to your little tank problem.

Matthew is behind a rock that is right next to the tank. He takes a peek and sees Tucker. He cocks his M6G and jumps out of hiding and fires shots at Tucker.

Tucker: (he ducks) Oh Jesus Christ!

Tucker then goes and takes cover behind a rock. Matthew aims at Caboose.

Matthew: Get out of that tank! NOW!!!

Caboose: But I-

Sheila points and aims them at the Ranger.

Sheila: "New Target Acquired."

Matthew: Oh shit.

Sheila: "Firing main cannon."

Thinking on his feet, the Red Corporal used his grapple shot to dodge the tank round. Matthew was on top of a rock.

Matthew: Alright... let's see if you like blueberries.

Sheila has sights on Matthew while he takes out a sticky grenade.

Sheila: "Target found."

Matthew shoots a grapple shot past the tank. He zips toward Sheila

Sheila: "Firing main cannon."

Matthew throws the grenade into the tank barrel as Sheila is saying that. Her barrel explodes and the Corporal zips away from the explosion.

Shelia: "Warning: Critical damage."

Tucker then notices a pelican passing over Red Base.

Tucker: Uh oh. (backs away) H-Hey, Caboose? You might want to get out of the tank. Like, right now

Caboose: I can't figure out how to get this thing open!

Shelia: "Ni-Night vi-vi-vision enga-ged."

Tucker: Rookie, get out now!

Explosions then start to get closer to the tank as Caboose becomes scared.

Caboose: Okay, open the do- okay, alright, Sheila, would you please open the door?

Sheila: "Dri-Driver can-nopy open."

The driver canopy opens and Caboose quickly gets out and runs away.

Sheila: "Th-Than-ank yo-you for-forrr usin-ggg th-the M808V Main Battle Ta-"

A tank shell hits Sheila and it flips her upside down as Caboose keeps running without turning back.

Caboose: Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, running, running, running! (reaches Tucker) Man, that was close.

Tucker: Look at your tank, though.

Caboose looks at Sheila as she begins to glitch out terribly.

Sheila: "I'm scared, Dave. Will I dream? Daaaai-sy... Daaaai-sy..."

Caboose: SHEEEEEILAAAAA! NOOOO!!!

Tucker: What? No! Sheila! Sheila! Wait... Who's Shelia?

Caboose: (sad) Sheila's the lady in the tank. She was my friend!

Tucker: Oh, dude! I knew you could pick up chicks in a tank.

Matthew takes a look at the destruction for second. He sees the Blues, but decides to head back to base with his trench coat blowing with the breeze.

We cut to blue base where we hear radio noises as Caboose and Tucker stand outside. Most of Tucker's armor is no longer covered in black stuff due to Caboose cleaning it off

Tucker: Come in blue command. This is Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha. Do you read me?

Caboose: Okay, that is the last of it. Your amour is clean now

Tucker: (looks at Caboose) Did you get all the black stuff off?

Blue Command: (coms) This is Blue Command, come in Blood Gulch Outpost Alpha.

We then cut to a person wearing a grey and yellow outfit as he sits on a control panel. This is Vic. Just Vic. He only works for blue command.....And no one else. And let me tell you his voice is so different in season one. Anyway.

Tucker: Hello, command! We need help!

Vic: Roger that, Blood Gulch. What is your request?

Tucker: I don't know what the technical military term is for it...But, uh, we're pretty fucked up down here. We need men!

Vic looks confused as he raises an eyebrow before responding back.

Vic: Dude, how long have you guys been down there?

Tucker: No, no, no, no. It's not like that! We need more men to help us.

Vic: Roger that. Did you get the tank we sent?

Tucker: Yeah...That got blown up too.

Vic: Wow...Sucks to be you.

Tucker: Yeah we know.

Vic: Okay, here's what I can do. The nearest blue forces can be there in sixteen days.Or, I-

Tucker: Sixteen days?! That's almost two weeks!

Vic: OR, I can hire a nearby Freelancer, and get them there in a few hours.

Caboose: I like the "In an hour" One.

Tucker: (turns off the radio) Yeah, me too. (turns it on) Roger that command. We prefer the quicker solution

Vic: (coms) 10-4, Blood Gulch. We'll contact Freelancer Tex and have them there post-haste. Command out.

The radio ends and Tucker looks at Caboose.

Tucker: Whoever he is, make sure he can fix a tank.

Caboose: What's a Freelancer?

Tucker: Freelancers are independent. They're not Red or Blue. They're just guns for hire who'll fight for whoever has the most money.

Caboose: Like a mercenary.

Tucker: Right or like your mom, when the rent is due.

Caboose: ...Oh, that's funny.

Tucker: Yeah, you don't think that was too obvious?

Caboose: No, no, not at all. That was good.

???: Tuckerrrr! TUUUUCKERRRRR!

Suddenly a semi-transparent spartan wearing white armor appears between Tucker and Caboose.

Tucker: Gah! Who the hell are you?

Church: (spooky voice)I am the ghost of Church! And I've come back with a warning!

Caboose: You're not Church. Church is blue! You're white!

Church: (normal voice) Rookie, shut up, man! I'm a freaking ghost. Have you ever seen a blue ghost before?

Author: Star Wars, botw, I mean there's also a yellow ghost-

Church: Shut the hell up author!

Tucker: Who are you talking to?

Church: Definitely not you dipshit.

Tucker: (looks at Caboose) Yeah, that's definitely him.

Church: Now I gotta start over again. Ahem (spooky voice) Tucker! TUCKER! I've come back with a warning!

Tucker: Is it really necessary to do the voice?

Caboose: Yeah, it's kind of annoying.

Church: Fine! Okay, here's the deal. I've come back from the dead to give you a warning about Tex. Don't let-

Caboose: What's the warning?

Church: Shut up for one second and I'll tell you!

Caboose: Oh, sorry.

Church: Seriously man, I'm coming back from the great beyond here. Do you think this is easy? It's not. It's like, you know, pop in and out whenever I feel like it. It takes a lot of concentration.

Caboose: Sorry.

Church: I mean it's bad enough that you killed me, to begin with. But now I've come back and I can't even get a word in edgewise, man. (sighs) Okay...Here's the deal.

Caboose: Is this a warning?

Church: All right, that's it. I swear to god, Caboose. Your ass is haunted When we're done here, I'm gonna haunt you.

Tucker: (looks at Caboose) Yeah, you're even starting to bug me.

Church: Okay (looks at Tucker) Tucker, you remember that I told you I was stationed on Sidewinder, before they transferred me here to Blood Gulch, right?

Tucker: No.

Caboose: Sidewinder? Isn't that the ice planet?

Church: Yes.

Caboose: Cool, what was that like?

Church: Uhm...It was cold.

Caboose: That's it? Just cold?

Church: What do you want from me, a poem? It's a planet made entirely out of ice. It's really fucking cold!

Tucker: (looks at Caboose) Will you just let him talk?

Church: Alright, well...

We then transition to a flashback at Sidewinder. Just a clarification everyone when you guys see this (PD) It means the present day. Meaning the person is narrating from the present day

Church (PD): One day when I was there. Everything was just like normal, I remember I was out on a patrol with my partner Jimmy. That Jimmy was a real good kid. Everybody liked him.

Tucker (PD): Did you think I was a good kid, Church?

Church (PD): Tucker, don't get jealous man, just listen to the story, okay? Like I said, the guys were hanging around, waiting for some action, bitchin about the cold.

Blue Soldier 1: Man, it's fucking cold.

Blue Soldier 2: I hope we get some action.

Church (PD): Anyway, Jimmy was in the middle of telling me about this girlfriend he had back home.

We cut to Jimmy talking about his girlfriend while Church listens.

Jimmy: Yep, as soon as I get back, I'm gonna get down on one knee, and ask her to marry me.

Church (PD): And that's when Tex showed up.

A soldier camouflage looks at Jimmy and Church from a distance.

Church (PD): Private Mickey was the first to go. He was halfway across the base when all of sudden he started screaming bloody murder...

Mickey: (shoots a shotgun while spinning around) Bloody murder! Bloody murder!

A blue soldier firing an assault rifle gets hit from being by a camouflaged Tex.

Church (PD): The whole thing was over before it even started.

Tex starts to assassinate every blue soldier from behind till Jimmy and Church are the only ones left as they are seen firing their weapons.

Church (PD): Poor Jimmy was the last to go. Tex walked up to him. Pulled Jimmy's skull right out of his head, and beat him to death with it.

Tucker (PD): Wait a second!

(Present Day)

Tucker: How do you beat someone to death with their own skull? That doesn't seem physically possible.

Church: That's exactly what Jimmy kept screaming.

Cut to a flashback of Tex beating up Jimmy with his skull

Jimmy: This doesn't seem physically possible! Hurrrk! Bleh...

Jimmy then falls to the ground and dies. Back with Church and the others.

Church: Bottom line is, these Freelancers, they're bad news and Tex is one of the worst.

Caboose: If he's such a badass, why didn't he kill you.

Cut back to Sidewinder where we see Church standing alone as the dead bodies of his allies surround him on the floor.

Church (PD): To tell ya, I don't know why I'm not dead. Coulda killed me at any point...But maybe it's because Tex and I have run into each other once before.

Cut back to the present day.

Tucker: Where?

Church: You, uh...You remember that girl I told you about, back home? Well...Let's just say that Tex is the real reason why we never got married.

Suddenly Church starts to fade away fast.

Church: Guys, I'm fading fast and I don't know when I'll be back. Just listen to my warning. Don't let Tex get involved here.

Tucker: Okay.

Church: I mean it, Tucker. No fighting, no scouting, nothing. You'll regret it...

And with that Church fades away. Tucker then looks at Caboose.

Tucker: So...Tex and Church were after the same girl!

Caboose: I told you his girlfriend was a slut.

Oh, Caboose. You've shouldn't say that. As Tex stands there right behind the both of you.

Chapter 3 ended.
