The Underground System
a Team Fortress 2 & Submachine Crossover
Prologue – Engineer's Teleporter Problem
One day, in the RED team's upstairs resupply room of 2fort, the RED Engineer was having a few problems with his teleporter. Instead of teleporting its users to the exit teleporter, it deposited people in random places nearby. He could not find any problems with the teleporter, so it baffled him how this was happening.
"Darn," he muttered in frustration, "it still ain't working right."
He consulted his blueprints for any information he might be able to use to fix this teleporter glitch. The entrance teleporter usually receives signals from the exit teleporter to tell it where to transport the user. The Engineer decided to check for signal interference. Sure enough, there was interference blocking the exit teleporter's signals.
"Whoowee," the Engineer exclaimed in excitement at the thought of finally being able to fix the teleporter's issue, "I just have to change the signal frequency!"
So he did, and attempted another test run after checking that the signal was meeting no distortion or interference. He stepped onto the entrance teleporter. It took him to his exit teleporter, just like normal. The Engineer was practically ready to scream in delight. He decided to call it a day, since the fix took several hours, and it was 9 pm. He destroyed the exit teleporter and went to his room.
Little did he know, a BLU Spy crept up to the teleporter, intending to sap it with his Electro-Sapper to destroy it. The Spy applied his sapper to the teleporter entrance, cackling in delight, when he saw that the sapper suddenly flew off the teleporter.
"Oh no," he said to himself.
When he crept up to the teleporter, it suddenly started spinning, as if it was active, even though there was no exit teleporter. He felt unsafe, so he decided to leave the RED base.
The next morning...
The Engineer woke up, remembering that there was no battle taking place currently, put down his shotgun that he picked up. His extradimensional toolbox was sitting near his bed, so he picked it up and carried it with him. He made for the respawn room near the balcony, where he left the entrance teleporter. He was surprised to see that it was running, even though he destroyed the exit teleporter. He curiously stepped on the teleporter, and promptly found himself in a room with yellow wallpaper that was hung in strips, with a device that seemed to be able to hold four triangular metal pieces. There were two doorways, and a ladder going downwards.
"Aww shucks," the Engineer sighed.
That was the first chapter to my crossover.
Sorry if it felt short, will write longer chapters for the later ones. In fact, I might have to split the 10th part into 3 pieces, simply because it will take too much space in 1 piece.
