Fire Team Charlie

Plot and Characters

Although their first 4 films revolve around unrelated single movie stories, by Episode 5 a plotline and the main characters have been introduced (with the exception of Episode 7 which is a plotless movie).

Characters

Johnathan- One of the main characters. He is the 'Messiah' chosen by "The Guardians". Although he dies in Episode 9, he is brought back to "correct the inbalance". Although when he returns, he is given supernatural fighting skills. After slaughtering hundreds of androids he is captured by the Moogle, the leader of the 2D army. He belongs to Red Team.

Squatting Bear- He has a clouded past, no one knows how he got his name, which is of Native American origin. An exceptional fighter, he is almost invincible. When he learns of his team mates betrayal, he searches for Johnathan, who according to his dreams is the only person who can defeat the Moogle. He rescues Red Team when they are caught off guard and unarmed by 3 Grunts. Red teams new android knocks him out mistaking him for an enemy and when he regains conciousness he is in a 2D-Android alliance prison. He belongs to Blue Team.

Moogle- Leader of the 2D's, he has captured many flags for Samus of the 2D world. He convinced the Blue Team members (except DigiPad) to betray Squatting Bear. There are rumours at Red Command that he may have aqquired "Weapons of Time Reduction". (He is based on the fictional race from Final Fantasy).

Commander Travis Kelly- Commander of the Red Team at Blood Gulch canyon. He has been described as an "ugsome, incompetant boob" by his commanding officer: Fleet Admiral Funtz. He was held responsible for the death of Silent Pete and the capture of Johnathan and asked to resign over this. He did not however but is threatened with demotion or discharge if he fails in his rescue mission of Johnathan. He is best friends with Gibson.

Gibson- The android manufacturer who operates from Mount Hang 'Em High. He also deals in weaponry (especially oversized weapons). He aids Kelly in his search for Johnathan, as he saved both of them from the androids. His brother, Tilo, programmed the first android. He works for Yellow Team.

Tilo- Mentioned once and is currently believed to be Gibson's brother who built/programmed the first android.

Silent Pete- A Red Team soldier who is incapable of talking for some unknown reason. He uses various body language to communicate with the other squad members. He is killed by being ordered to run into a fire by 3 Grunts when he, Johnathan and Commander Kelly are held captive by them.

DigiPad- Squatting Bear's best friend and also a Blue Team member. He sacrifices himself to save his friend Squatting Bear from Clip-Doodle-Bot by blowing up himself and Clip. His grave is under the overshield, in accordance to his last wish: "just bury me under the overshield".

Clip-Doodle-Bot- Red Teams android, is rather a coward. He is distraught upon seeing Johnathan's death, turning him into a mindless killing machine seeking revenge upon those who killed Johnathan. He fights Squatting Bear (mistaking him for Johnathan's killer).

The Scheduler- The founder of the 2D-Mecha alliance. He knows all that needs to be known. He is interested in the details of 'The Guardians.

Fleet Admiral Funtz- Commander of the forces on the ring. He considers Commander Kelly "an ugsome, incompetant boob", but likes Gibson. He enjoys fishing trips.

Madrewrew- Squatting Bear's Australian mercenary prisionmate.

The Guardians- A mysterious God-like race who revived Johnathan upon his death.

Blue Team- 3 Blue soldiers (who are arguebly Japanese) who side with Moogle and betray Squatting Bear. They are all killed by Squatting Bear when he learns of their trechery.

Green Team- Uncountable French and British soldiers (because they die so frequently, they have to date lost 15 Commanding Officers KIA, 7 Warthogs and a Battle Tank to the enemy). They are all almost completely useless in battle, and all their scientific special projects have failed miserably. All have very strong French or British accents and are very stereotyped.

The stranger continues to use a blowtorch on a large crate. Suddenly Kelly appears behind him and asks whether he knows where to find a 'big long pointy thing' as per his instructions from the Guardians. Suddenly the stranger becomes hostile and draws his sidearm and aims at Kelly, however Kelly raises his Battle Rifle and Gibson (who sneaked around the side of the building) raises his shotgun, both take aim at the strangers head. The stranger surrenders and promises to co-operate with them. Kelly and Gibson begin to question the stranger, and ask why there is a lack of people in the city. The stranger seems confused and offers the pair a bribe, mistaking them for MP's. After the confusion is resolved when the stranger learns that they are from Halo. He informs them that the Covenant began invading Earth 24 hours ago, and that all human forces have been routed, and that the city was evacuated. He tells them that he is going to continue looting, but he knows someone called 'Gee' who can help them find a 'big long pointy thing', he warns them to avoid the MP's as they will shoot on sight. The scene then changes to Squatting Bear and Johnathan who are still on the Zanzibar map, snipe the Covenant leader.
