Chapter 3: Now What?

"Bueno. Evaluemos la situación. Una inteligencia artificial maníaca acaba de matar a dos de nuestros amigos. ¿Qué vamos a hacer? (Okay. Let's assess the situation. A maniacal Artificial Intelligence just killed two of our friends. What are we gonna do?)", Lopez asked. Caboose was standing at the top of the Blue Base, but he was unresponsive. "¿Furgón de cola? ¿Estás bien? (Caboose? Are you okay?)" Caboose took off his helmet, revealing his youthful face and a venomous glare.

"No. I'm not okay, Lopez", Caboose bitterly answered. "A monster just stole my best friend from me. I'm going to stop him... alone. If anyone tries to stop me, I will unleash my full rage on them." The others regained consciousness.

"Lopez? What happened?", Donut asked.

"Todos trataron de luchar contra Sigma, pero él los derrotó a todos, incluyéndonos a mí y a Caboose, debido a su cambio de forma, su fuerza superior y sus capacidades de vuelo (You all tried to fight Sigma, but he defeated you all, including me and Caboose, because of his shapeshifting, superior strength, and flying capabilities.)", Lopez answered. Caboose put his helmet back on. "Absorbió a Epsilon y Beta, completando su misión. Fue a Equestria para comenzar su carnicería. (He absorbed Epsilon and Beta, completing his mission. He went to Equestria to begin his carnage.)"

"Wait... Equestria?!", Twilight asked. "We have to stop Sigma now!"

"Mantenga sus caballos, señora. Es posible que tú y tus amigos hayan derrotado a la reina Chrysalis, Lord Tirek y Cozy Glow, pero no tenían el poder de diez inteligencias artificiales. Necesitas un respaldo serio. Afortunadamente, somos los mejores soldados de la galaxia (Hold your horses, lady. You and your friends might've taken down Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow, but they didn't have the power of ten Artificial Intelligences. You need some serious backup. Fortunately, we are the galaxy's greatest soldiers.)", Lopez replied. However, Caboose was nowhere to be found. "¿Furgón de cola? (Caboose?)"

In Equestria, Caboose approached Sigma. "SIGMA!!!", Caboose screamed. Sigma heard the angry Blue and approached him. "You've fucked with the wrong person's friend!"

"Oh, no. I'm so scared", Sigma mocked.

Back at Blood Gulch...

"I know he's pissed off, but Sigma is a nigh-unstoppable monster", Tucker said.

"The Red Team couldn't beat us in a Death Battle. They are idiots", Sheila replied.

"Yeah, I know", Tucker responded.

"Podemos escucharte, lo sabes (We can hear you, you know.)", Lopez said.

"Dirty Blues! We only lost because of a rogue grenade!", Grif protested.

"Not true, Grif", Twilight said. "You Reds had plenty going for you. You had brains and speed on your side with Simmons, and you had some epic firepower, but the Blue Team had the grit to overpower you. When it comes to physical strength, nobody on your team came close to the raw power of Tex and Caboose. Flipping Sheila and lifting Andy made that pretty clear. Hell, Sarge even tried to lift Andy once and he couldn't do it. It could be argued that Sarge has more extensive military experience than anyone else. However, Tex's Freelancer training was far more intensive than standard military issue. Just look at what she did to you Reds before. She's a monster! Not to mention she technically had two lifetimes of training, being a copy of Allison and all. Her lame programming meant she couldn't win the fight by herself, but her blue teammates picked up the slack. Tucker even got some Freelancer training in too thanks to Agent Washington, and could hold off a platoon of mercs all by himself. No one ever said he wasn't good at solo activities. Oh, and in the fight between tanks versus cars, tanks generally win. I mean... that one's pretty obvious. Your team may have been extremely resilient, mostly thanks to aggravating stubbornness, but it wasn't enough to survive the stellar skill and the brute force of Blue Team."

"Oh, shut up", Grif said.

"Way to rub it in, Twilight", Donut said.

"Sabelotodo (Smart-ass.)", Lopez said.

"Why did I have to die first?", Simmons asked.

"A noble sacrifice", Sarge answered.

"Guys, focus!", Tucker said. "A psychopath is on the loose in Equestria!"

"Tucker's right", Twilight said. "Based on what you guys said, Sigma has become the perfect A.I., which can only mean one thing: Sigma is unstoppable. The only way to stop Sigma is to remove the A.I. fragments."

"¿Cómo diablos se supone que vamos a hacer eso? (How the fuck are we supposed to do that?)", Lopez asked.

"What?", Twilight asked.

"He asked how the fuck are we supposed to do that?", Donut translated.

"I don't fucking know!", Twilight answered. "If Maine really was corrupted..."

"That's it!", Simmons interrupted. "We don't kill Maine, we bring him to his senses, then let Maine take care of things. We may loose Epsilon and Beta in the process, but as long as all ten A.I.s are destroyed, then Equestria won't suffer their wrath."

"But Sigma's taken full control", Twilight replied. "I fear Maine is gone."

"What? The state? Last I checked, it's still here!", Sarge said.

"No, not the state! Agent Maine!", Twilight explained.

"Who the hell is Agent Maine?", Sarge asked.

"THE META!!!", Twilight answered.

"Oh", Sarge said.

"Goddamnit, you guys are IDIOTS!", Twilight complained.

"Hey, I'm a girl!", Kai said.

"Probablemente deberíamos someter a Sigma primero. Entonces podemos destruir los fragmentos de Inteligencia Artificial. Sarge, usted, Simmons, Grif y Tucker han peleado en Maine antes, así que sabe a qué se enfrenta. Donut, Sheila, Kaikaina y yo nos quedaremos aquí en caso de que él decida comenzar a destruir Blood Gulch (We should probably subdue Sigma first. We can then destroy the Artificial Intelligence fragments. Sarge, you, Simmons, Grif, and Tucker have fought Maine before, so you know what you're dealing with. Donut, Sheila, Kaikaina, and I will stay here in case he decides to start destroying Blood Gulch.)", Lopez said.

"What the fuck did he just say?", Rainbow Dash asked.

"He said something about me going with Simmons, Grif, and Tucker to kick a little ass. Come on, fellas!", Sarge answered. The four soldiers ran through the portal.
