On top of blue Base

Church is talking to Caboose as Tucker is looking for Donut.

"Let me get this straight." Church starts and Caboose looks to him. "You gave this guy our flag?"

"Is that bad?" Caboose asks.

"Bad? Oh no, that's not bad! Next time he comes over, why don't you just help him blow up the whole goddamn base?"

"There! There he is!" Tucker points out where Donut is.

Church picks up the sniper rifle and looks through the scope. "Where?" He spots Donut walking at the edge of the canyon. "Oh! Yeah! Oh, I got him." Church zooms in. "He's sneakin' around back behind the cliffs."

"He must be one smart son of a bitch."

Over to Donut.

Donut stops walking and looks around. "Aw, man, I am so freakin' lost." He continues walking. "Where the hell is the base?"

Over to the Blues

"Oh, shit." Church says. "Hey, Tucker, look at his armor. It's red."

"Aw, man! That means it's their sergeant." Tucker complains.

"Well, that makes sense. At least now we know how he got by our defenses."

"Uh, you know, he came in the back door where you guys were standing." Caboose informs Church.

"Yeah, okay, well, let's take him out, then." Tucker tells Church.

"Roger that." Church says. "Okay," He aims the sights at Donut. "Say goodnight, Sarge."

Church fires off four shots and all four miss.

"Son of a bitch!" Donut yells.

Tucker looks to Church as he lowers the sniper rifle. "Aw, crap." Church notices Tucker staring at him. "What?"

"You're really not very good with that thing, are you?" Tucker asks church.

Donut waves the flag. "Hey! It's me! Don't shoot! I'm the guy that bought the flag, remember?!"

"Oh. great Now he's taunting us. That's just embarrassing."

Church turns around. "Alright, that's it! I've had it!" He looks to Caboose. "Rookie, you stay here! Me and Tucker, we'll head through the teleporter, we'll cut him off at the pass!" Church walks over to the Teleporter.

"Right!" Caboose agrees.

"Tucker, you ready? Let's go!"

"There is no way I'm going through that thing." Tucker tells Church.

"Tucker, we don't have time for this! Why would they give is a teleporter if if doesn't work?"

"I don't know! Why would they give us a tank that no one can drive?"

"We already tested the teleporter, remember?"

"We threw rocks through it!"

"Yeah, and? So what? The rocks came out the other side, didn't they?"

"Yeah, but they were all hot and covered with black stuff."

"Oh, so I guess that's what all this is about, then? You're afraid of a little black stuff?"

"Yes! I am! I am afraid of black stuff." 

Church grabs his assault rifle and aims it at Tucker. "Tucker, I almost hate to do this to you."

"You wouldn't."

"You know, I look at it this way. Either A, we go through there and get the flag back, or, B, we stay here, and I get to kill you. Either way, I win."

"For the record, I want you to know rocks aren't people."

"Duly noted. Now get in there." Church motions to the teleporter.

"Crap. Alright." Tucker walks in front of the teleporter. "One! Two!" Tucker walks through the teleporter.

Church and Caboose walk to the edge of the base and look towards where Tucker is supposed to come out of and he isn't there.

They stare at the spot for a little bit, waiting for Tucker, but he doesn't come out.

"Huh?" Caboose looks to Church. "He didn't come out the other side."

"Yeeeeeeah.... I've, uh.... I've decided I'm not going to use the teleporter." Church runs off the side of the base. "Okay, rookie you stay here! I'll be back with the flag!"

Over to Red Base.

Simmons, Grif and Ash are on top of red base. Grif is looking out to the canyon with a sniper rifle.

"I still have no idea what you're talking about." Simmons says to Grif. "I didn't hear any shots."

"I didn't either." Ash says as some smoke rises from his burnt armored hands.

Grif sighs. "I'm telling you, it was four shots. Like, bam! Bam! Bam!"

Simmons looks to Grif. "Wait a second, that's only three bams."

"Bam." Grif notices movement in the canyon. "Wait a second... We got a blue guy on the move out there."

"Where's he headed?" 

"Oh, crap! It's..." Grif sees Donut. "It's Donut. And he's got something. It looks like..." Grif sees Donut's holding the blue flag. "Simmons, Ash..." He looks to them. "Get the Warthog."

"Heh, you mean the Puma?"

"Dragon." Ash says.
