(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Mackenzie and Judo are behind a rock with bullets hitting the canyon wall behind them.

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

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

Mackenzie: 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.

Mackenzie: Well, yeah, but... oh man, I guess I gotta give that one to ya.

Cut to Lucky hopping in the tank. As the canopy closes, the tank turns on.

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

Lucky: Hello. Sheila. Big tank lady.

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

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

Sheila: 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.

Lucky: Okay.

Cut to Bluey firing the Warthog's gun with Jack on the ground behind him.

Jack: Bluey. BLUEY!

Bluey stops firing, and steps down.

Jack: Man, that thing is loud.

Sheila drives by in the background.

Bluey: ...WHAT?

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

Bluey: OKAY.

Jack: Keep it down! Jesus. Let's go, before they figure out what's going on.

Cut to Lucky having Sheila stranded on a tall rock and turning to try to get off.

Sheila: Now that you've mastered driving the M808V, let's move on to some of the safety features.

Lucky: No, no, wait, go back! Why are there six pedals if there are only four directions?

Cut to Mackenzie peeking out from the side of the rock. Judo is still standing behind it.

Mackenzie: (whispering) Psst, hey, they stopped firing.

Judo: Why are you whispering?

Mackenzie: (whispering) Uhm... I don't know.

Cut to Bluey and Jack standing at the foot of a cliff.

Jack: Aw, crap, I don't think we're gonna be able to get around this way.

Bluey: Tell me again, uh, why did we get out of the jeep?

Sheila rolls up right behind them.

Jack: Well, I guess it was this or sit there and watch you shoot rocks all day long.

Sheila's turret looks at Jack, then at Bluey as they speak.

Bluey: Well, at least that was fun.

Jack and Bluey turn simultaneously to see the tank.

Jack: Holy CRAP. What in God's name is that thing?

Cut to Mackenzie and Judo looking at the vacant Warthog.

Mackenzie: Judo, don't be stupid. They're just trying to draw us out.

Judo: No they're not, look - they left the jeep. They're gone.

Mackenzie: Well, I don't know about this. It seems pretty fishy, but... alright screw it, let's go get it.

Cut to Sheila's HUD. Her cross hair slowly homes in on Jack's head.

Jack: Dude, hold still. I don't think it sees us.

A tone goes off indicating target lock.

Notes:

Narrator: Coming up on Red vs. Blue-y: You've watched them for seven episodes. But next week, the unthinkable! Someone. Will. Die!
Rusty: ...I sure hope it's Jack.

Notes:

I hope I don't get lazy adding chapters
