                        Sidewinder Canyon

                              Blue Base


      Sandy read the words over in his mind.

      "Sidewinder, Sidewinder. Doesn't ring a bell", said Sandy.

      "Oh!", said Brian. "Sidewinder is really cold canyon that happens to look like Blood Gulch. You haven't gone crazy Sandy, the teleporter just sent us to Sidewinder. When we get back, I'll tell the Sergeant to fix it".

      Sandy smiled. Good old Brian. Always looking on the bright side of things.. They slowly approached the base. As they reached the mouth, Sandy and Brian saw weapons scattered on the ground.

      "Well one thing isn't different", said Brian. "This armoury is the same as the one in Blood Gulch".

      Suddenly a blue Spartan hopped down from a ladder.

      "Hello sir", the Spartan said. The Spartan's sounded like a female. It's hard to explain what it sounded like. You can't describe sounds in words.

      "Sir?", said Sandy as he took of his helmet. "We are just some lone soldiers lost on Sidewinder who got here by a teleporter".

      The female Spartan took off her helmet. She was very beautiful. She had dirty blonde hair, and hazel eyes. She then whispered softly, "Not another one".

      "Not another one?", said Brian. "Wait. Does this happen to you all the time?"

      "Well, yes. We don't really know why, but it seems like when a Spartan gets lost through the teleporter, they always end up here". "Well, I'll get to work on the teleporter to send you to......".

      "Blood Gulch", Sandy continued. "Dusty canyon, bare walls, idiot Sergeants. You know".

      "Yeah, I do. My name is Phoenix. What's yours?".

      "My name is Sandy Cruise, and over here is...".

      "I don't need you to introduce me Sandy", Brian interrupted. Then he turned to Phoenix. "My name is Brian Carly of Blood Gulch".

      Sandy looked over the horizon. He saw red shapes moving towards the base.

      "Ma'am", Sandy said. "You might want to prepare the guns, and weapons, because the reds are coming".

      "What!?", she said. She looked into her own sniper rifle, scanning the area. She then grabbed an assault rifle.

      "Cruise, Carly, follow me".

      Sandy and Brian headed up the long ladder to the top of the base.





"Alright men", Phoenix shouted. "Grab a battle rifle, and a sidearm".

      "Excuse me Ma'am, but what's a battle rifle?", said Sandy.

      "A battle rifle is a cross between a pistol, and an assault rifle, if I can put it that way". Phoenix tossed him a battle rifle. Sandy then slowly looked into the little scope. It had 2x magnification, not as much as the sniper rifle, but it could fire like an assault rifle.

      Brian tossed Sandy his sniper rifle. Sandy peered through it, and then fired. The bullet hit the first Spartan's shields. Sandy fired another bullet. The bullet pierced into the the Spartan, as he fell over. Sandy then took out his battle rifle and fired three short bursts. The bullets hit the shields of another Spartan.

      "Well, said Sandy. "I best be on my way".

      "Well I've havn't rerouted the teleporter yet", said Phoenix.

      "Well", whispered Brian to Sandy. "The action would be nice".

      "Yeah. But I don't want to die before I get home.....I mean Blood Gulch".

      "Come on Sandy. You're the best sniper here. Come on. Lets go whip some red ass!".

      Sandy groaned, and jumped down from the base to fight the reds. Brian followed him. And so did the rest of the Blue team. Sandy shot his battle rifle, and so did the rest of the Blue team.




      After a long fight, Phoenix told Brian and Sandy to get some rest. Brian then laid out his sleeping bags he brought.

      "Hey Brian", said Sandy. "Why did you bring sleeping bags? I thought you thought that you were just going to find me quickly find me. You didn't actually think that you were going to be stuck here at Sidewinder, did you?"

      "Well, you know. Come prepared. You never know".

      "Ok. What if I was on top of a mountain? You didn't bring any picks".

      "Shut up Sandy".

      They laid their sleeping bags inside the base and fell asleep.




      "Well", said Phoenix. "I rerouted the teleporter to take you to Blood Gulch. So just hop on in. Oh and I forgot to give you something". In Phoenix's hand, there lay a battle rifle.

      "I thought you would like. You're a really good sniper. This way you'll be able to snipe with an assault rifle in a way. Well you better get going then". Sandy took the battle rifle out of Phoenix's hand. Brian and Sandy counted to three, and headed through the strange green teleporter.






      "Finally Cruise! You're back. What took you so long?", Sandy heard Segeant Mac's voice come over the radio. "We need some backup! Come to the middle of the canyon!".

      Sandy didn't listen. He ran towards the wall of the canyon, threw off his helmet, and kissed the canyon wall.

      Well, he thought. I'm finally home.
