Red vs Blue: Chronicle

Chapter 4

Tex and I bumped along the long gravel road speeding in a warthog. She stared straight ahead not knowing what to expect. Homestly, neither did I. All I knew was that York wanted to gather everyone. So I went to go find Tex.

When we got inside the rickety old building we saw almost all the freelancers. York, North, Wash, Carolina, and South were there.

"Glad you could come, Tex." said York.

She nodded her head. I could tell she was thinking about something. She seemed like that ever since we left blood gulch.

"Let's get to buisness," said Carolina

"We know one thing for sure, and that's that we need an A.I. to do this." said Wash

"And none of us have A.I.'s," added North

"Actually, Mini still has her A.I.," said York

"York," I hissed

"You still have Beta?" asked South

"Yes,"

"But, how?" asked Carolina

"I don't know. Maine, err, Meta never got him." I replied

"Prove it," said North

"Beta?"  I asked, and Beta appeared

"Yes?" he asked

"You wern't lying," said Carolina

"Would I lie?" I asked

Everyone but Tex shot me a look. I realised what I had just said. I took off my helmet and as usual my hair fell out of whatever it was in. Carolina followed in suite.

"Get on with it York," South growled from her spot

"You guys all know those idiots from Blood Gulch, right?" asked Wash

"Oh no," I said

~~~~~

"Church? Where'd Tex go?" I heard Tucker ask as I approached

"I don't know, why are you asking me?" asked Church

"Hello freelancer lady!" said Caboose

"Hi Caboose, Tucker, Church." I said

"Whatever it is, the answer is no." Church said

"Where's Tex?" asked Tucker

"Elsewhere. There's something you need to help us with." I said

"Okay. Who's 'us'?" asked Church

"You'll find out, but I need your help." I reply

"Chuurch, we should probably listen to her." Tucker warned.

"Fine, we'll come." Church said

"Great! Let me go get my warthog!" I ran to my warthog and drove over to the blue team. "Hop in," I told them and the did so.

~~~~~

"Why are the reds here?" exclaimed Church

"And why are those dirty stinkin blues here?" asked Sarge

"If you two would stop and actually look at who brought us here for a second." said Tucker

"F-F-F-Freelancers?" asked Simmons

York laughed, "Yes,"

"Now that we have the idiots of Blood Gulch, what's next?" asked South

"Heeey," Grif whined.

"Mini, could you..." asked North

"Why am I always the one left babysitting? I'm the one with the A.I." I asked

"Good point, Wash, why don't you go?" asked Carolina

"Fine," Wash sighed as he ushered the Reds and Blues elsewhere.

"Okay so here's the plan..." started York as the wall got blown open.

When the dust cleared, standing before us was The Meta.

"Meta?" asked North coughing.

He made a growling noise, we all stood cautiously.

"How'd you survive that fall?" asked Wash, walking back in with the Reds and Blue trailing him.

"I though we killed him!" Grif whispered to Simmons

"I did too!" said Simmons

"We could use the extra pair of-" started York, as Meta came running at him

"York!" I shouted as he jumped out of the way.

"So you want to play games, hey?" asked Carolina

"I think so," South said

Everyone had their weapons out and aimed at Meta. He shot his rifle into the wall and ran. "Carolina, Tex, Mini, Wash go after him!" shouted York

Running throught the hole in the wall The Meta had just made, Carolina was leading us by a long shot. Then it was Tex. The Meta stopped and fired his rifle at us, ulitmately, we fired back. I got a shot to his head, but it just bounced off.

"Nice armor," South said sarcasticly

Meta fired at her, and she flew backwards. "Go!" she screamed at us

The Meta took of again, and we followed. I shot a few more times, all of them just reflecting back at us. The Meta stopped, and Carolina ran right into him. He grabbed her and threw her off to the side. She flew through the air, when I noticed Meta's weak spot. Anywhere there was a chink in the armor.

"Tex, Wash, anywhere there's a chink in the armor!" I shouted

"Got it," replied Tex.

The Meta stopped, again and this time I shot my foot into his chest and he went flying. He was knocked out after that. We grabbed him, chained him up and brought him back. Everyone was back allready, and the Reds and Blues were all together saying stuff behind our backs.

"How did we get dragged into this?" asked Church

"You agreed to come," I replied
