A/N: Well, I mean, this is kinda just something that I thought would be funny. Nine elite Specialists versus nine… hat models? I dunno, but who wouldn't want to see the greatest deathmatch since Goku vs Superman?

The nine of us boarded the VTOL Dropship, prepared for battle. Everything was on the line today. No respawn, or something like that. Medical teams would be nearby, but we all accepted that this flight could be our last. Besides, this had happened before. Sure, I almost died, and we had to get a new Reaper, but other than that, everything went swimmingly. I was designated sniper for the team, so my job was first contact. First, lethal, unfriendly contact.

Today was another fight. A deathmatch this time, and not against the BLUs like normal. Some other guys from god-knows-where wanted to challenge us, and the Admin had no problem with that. To be honest, we hadn't really had a deathmatch in quite a while. Hopefully these chucklenuts would be fun to fight, since the BLUs were really getting disappointing to crush every other fight. Who knows, maybe they'd even have a girl on their team. Now THAT, would be fun.

The ship continued its flight, and I was bored. I wasn't going to complain, of course, because I was likely on my way to die, so I was glad this plane was taking it's sweet time. I couldn't find much intel on the enemy. None at all, really. Just a few companies, Mann Co., Reliable Excavation and Demolition, and Builder's League United. I did manage to find one file on a man named Mundy, but that was pretty much it. Mundy wasn't a special person, just an ordinary man from nowhere, from what I could tell. The only things listed were his height and favorite hat. Why either of those were relevant was beyond me, but obviously Mann Co. needed to know it. If that's all these enemies are, this is gonna be all too easy…

Miss Pauling came by with new weapons. New weapons! At least, they looked new. They had the same shape as the other, normal guns, but there was something different about them… Something strange. Medic said it was because the shotgun I brought him was colored bright orange and blue, but that couldn't be it. Maybe they had magic powers? That's probably it. And what's this? NEW ENEMIES! New enemies to shoot! Muhehehehehe, this is going to be fun.

We'd hit some turbulence. Nice. My thoughts wandered to the new team we would be facing. Hopefully they were a livelier bunch than those CDP cronies. Hopefully they'd be more fun to kill. I hadn't really lit anything on fire for quite a long time, come to think of it. I guess that's going to change today.

Scout was quite the bitter lad. Yesterday, I blew up the nest he'd been picking at for a few minutes. Best explosion I ever saw. Everything went everywhere, machine parts, body parts, it was great. I got a fresh crate of scumpy that night too, so I'd say yesterday was a good day. I heard that we'd be fighting some new bunch this time. I'll bet they'll be more fun to blow up than those rotten BLUs. I tell ya, those fools never learn.

This flight was taking quite a long time. From what I'd heard, there were some new group we'd be fighting today. No respawns, either, which was odd, but the Commander said the other team had insisted on it being so. These guys really knew how to have a good time, I'll say that much. I bet we'll be able to wipe the floor with these idiots. Maybe not even lose a single guy in the process. Yeah, that's what we'll do.

Doctor said there would be new baby men to squash. Heh, that'll be good, little BLUs are getting boring to fight. Sasha wants new people to kill, too, so it is win-win. But, does other team have a doctor? Do that have charge? I guess there's only one way to find out.

I picked the worse seat possible. To my left was the tight-lipped Outrider, and to my right was the very loud Ruin. Couldn't anyone just have a normal dropship ride anymore? Guess not. I wonder what these new guys we'll be fighting are up to They'd better be making a plan, because fighting some disorderly bunch is stupid. Fighting a team is good, because watching them plunge into disorder is the best part.

Gah, nothing. This new team is hard to pin down. I've got pings from everywhere, so whoever they are, they want to remain a secret. Nods in Brazil, America, India, even some factory in Taiwan. Preparation is key, I learned that the first day on the job. Apparently, there would be some sort of deathmatch-esque battle, but the Admin was as unresponsive as ever. Some sort of respawn-outside-the-arena thing. Maybe it's just budget cuts again.

I can't believe we have to fly so far out just to fight some gangly team of hat models. At least, that's what Prophet called them. Maybe it's some sort of code. Oooh, a secret code. Serapah wouldn't talk to me, and Reaper was never one for conversation, so for now, I'll keep it to myself. I'll bet they're super-soldiers, like us. Maybe aliens. Maybe both.

I took a look at the bill. 590 dollars for just seven livers. Demoman better start helping pay for these, because I can't just keep buying black market organs at this price. It'd probably be better is I just grew my own. Maybe this new team has a few to spare. Maybe this new team is just a bunch of livers. With the things the Administrator puts us through, I wouldn't be surprised. At least they aren't the BLUs, because their Medic is a real jerk. Maybe this team won't even have a medic.

Oh, god, Nomad smelled awful. Even through my filtered facemask I could smell it. How is it just now that I noticed? If we weren't already so close, I would get up and change seats. Maybe it that stupid mud he insists on having smeared across every inch of his body. At least the other team will be able to smell him coming, or maybe it'll disorient them so badly we'll just sweep them.

I laid back on the couch of my van. Peace and quiet. Lunch with the others is not exactly enjoyable, especially when Soldier refuses to eat Heavy's cooking because "IT'S LACED WITH COMMUNISM!" Watching Heavy nearly tear Soldier limb from limb was funny, though. Anyway, this new team. They certainly weren't the BLUs, which was nice for a change. That BLU spy is just so bloody annoying. The battlefield was different, too, the only thing I'd heard was the name. Genesis.

This was taking too long. Way too long. AT least there's be some fresh meat on the other side, though. Not the CDP slobs either, some brand new team. A gang of nobodies from nowhere was all I could find about them. The weird thing was that radar wasn't allowed for this battle either. And some sort of displaced respawn, too. Like, after we die, we just have to watch the battle. How boring.

A new team? And new map? Why was this happening? Not that I was afraid, but it was all just too strange. At least the gamemode was familiar, but why the Administrator even wanted to accept this new team was beyond me. Perhaps it was some sort of test. Some sort of extension of Mann Co, maybe? Whatever the reason may be, the team that was picked is a strange one. From what I could gather, they're fast, strong, tough, the best of the best. They were secretive too. Whatever organization had them was a real quiet one. At least we'll find out on the field of battle.
A/N: Not much to say, but, hey, this is gonna be a nice little two-shot when it's done. Maybe a two-shot split over 7 or 8 chapters, depending on how far I go with it. Until then, I've been Pix, and thanks for reading!
