"Dummkopf! Vat are you doing?"
The young man looked up at the man with glasses who was scolding him, muttered something under his breath, and continued stuffing the glowing heart into the man on the operating table. It was the second time he was doing the procedure.
"Aghh! Watch it mate. Them's my ribs."
The young man looked at the bone held in his bloody hands. The Medic came over, took the rib, and flicked it away.
"Don't vorry." the Medic said. "Ribs grow back." That was the 9th time he said it that day. He then took the medigun on the table. He then stopped. "Vhy don't you try it zis time?" he said to the young man.
The young man felt anxious and picked up the medigun in his hands. He shot the beam directly into the Sniper's chest. The Sniper's skin had magically sewn itself and his chest began to glow a bright blue.
"Vell, that looks good. Very nice." said the Medic.
"Thanks, Doc." The Sniper placed his hat back on his head. "And you too Erik." He then walked out of the room. The sound of doves echoed as the door closed behind him.
The young man looked at his bloody hands and walked over to the sink to wash them. The Medic stood by the operating table waiting for him to finish.
"Erik, I have something very important I vant to discuss with you. It is about our enemy, ze RED team, and about our team itself. It seems ve've always lost to zem. Zat is vhy I hired you. Zey are already ahead of us vhen it comes to veaponry, even healing. Ze RED Medic is the one who came up with ze Ubercharge after all. Ve need you, ve honestly do."
"Zank you, Medic. But, I've been messing up ze simplest of procedures." said Erik.
"You vill get better. You vill. But, you von't unless you use zis." The Medic opened a cabinet and took out a medigun with a glowing medicinal reactor. "I vant you to have zis. I call it ze Quick-Fix."
"But, but zat vas your first Medigun. A prototype. I can't take it."
"I need you to start healing zough. Zere is no ubercharge, but it vill do the job."
"Are you sure?"
"I vas never more sure about anyzing in my whole life."
"I don't know vat to say. So vat do ve now?"
"Now Erik...Ve go practice medicine."
The Medic then laughed. He placed his blue-white lab coat on, snapped his rubber gloves on, and took his standard medigun and went to the door. Erik snapped his rubber gloves on and placed the Quick Fix on his back. Archimedes nearly flew out when they had opened the door.
Yukio, a young ninja of age 18, sat in the back of a truck that was driving through the desert.
"How much longer until we reach our destination?" She asked the driver.
"Should be an hour or so," he replied, glancing at the rear view mirror, looking at the young ninja. She leaned back, closing her eyes. Her nap was then disturbed when the car swerved and she fell over.
"We've got something incoming!" said the driver, swerving to the right.
Yukio looked through the opening in the back, seeing a tan jeep.
"The fuckers caught up!"
The driver cursed, and, being in an open area, had no way to lose their pursuers. Yukio saw something protruding out from the side of the jeep.
"Crap, they have a rocket launcher!" she yelled to her driver.
"You have got to be shittin' me!" A rocket flew past them and exploded in their path. The truck swerved and Yukio was pushed onto her hands a knees. She cursed and looked at their pursuers.
"They're sending another rocket!" The truck took a sharp turn to the right. The teen was close to the edge and the turn took her by surprise. She fell out of the truck and rolled on the hot desert sand. When she got her head out of a spin, she looked to see the truck driving between her and the jeep. It diverted the jeep's attention from her as the truck drove away from Yukio.
"No, Sam-." A rocket made impact with the truck and a burst of heat exploded. Yukio quickly covered her head as fragments of metal came toward her way. She hissed as a sharp metal cut through her skin on her back below the left shoulder. Yukio laid there for a while, waiting for dirt to kick up to her face and for her to be captured. But they never came. She slowly got up and put pressure on her wound. It seemed that her assailants went to check on what's left of the wreckage. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist; another one of her friend's has lost their life for her safety. She got up and put on the hood of her cloak. She didn't know where she was, or where she will be heading, but as long as she keeps them on the chase, she doesn't care. She won't let her friends' sacrifices be in vain.
She didn't know how long she walked, or how far, but once her feet ached, she saw a building in the distance. A mirage or not, she took her chances and advanced toward it.
She collapsed against the wooden building. She has lost a lot of blood, and panted. Behind her, she heard gunshots and yelling. She wanted to yell out for help, but she had no strength to. Yukio closed her eyes and leaned back. She figured she would die out on the hot sand before anyone got to her.
At least "she" wouldn't get to her, her sister.
Erik and the Medic marched outside. The moon was shining just above the tall wooden tower where the RED team's intelligence was kept. Erik looked across the arid desert, pushing his glasses just like the Medic. The sounds of sentry guns and sappers were heard close by. Erik and the Medic walked to the shed where the Heavy was waiting for them. Erik looked at the gentle giant before him and saw him munching on a delicious sandvich.
"DOCTOR!" the Heavy said.
The Medic quickly took out his Medigun and began healing the Heavy. Erik stared at the blue crosses that began to float and surround the Heavy. The Medic turned to Erik while still healing the Heavy.
"Erik, I vant you to go heal ze rest of ze team. I vill go vith Heavy and ve vill teach zese dummkopfs about ze hurting."
Erik wasn't listening. He stared at the minigun that was on the floor. He slowly reached out his hand to touch it. Then the Heavy immediately grabbed him by his shirt and raised him up. "Little, little medic..Why you touch Sasha?"
"I...um..I..." said Erik.
He placed Erik back on the floor. "Let me tell you something...Sasha...she is MY weapon...No one...touches MY weapon..."
After he said this, the Heavy went into a huge burst of laughter. A speechless Erik looked at the Medic. The Medic shrugged and continued healing the Heavy.
"So listen...if you touch my gun again..." He took his huge hand and drew it across his throat.
Erik was silent.
"I am fully charged!" said the Medic.
"We go then doctor..." The two then quickly ran out leaving Erik by himself. Erik stood there alone for a while. He got out his Amputator, his favorite weapon and began playing a small tune. He stopped quickly though.
"MEDIC!" someone cried. Erik followed the voice to the high tower where a teammate was waiting for him. When he climbed the stairs, he found Sniper in the corner of the room. He saw several jars on the boxes and several cups of coffee on the table. He looked at Sniper and saw the blood from Sniper's wounds.
"Aye, that's some chunky business right there..nearly got me head." he mumbled. Erik shot a beam of blue light into the Sniper. The Sniper stopped bleeding and he immediately got up. "Oi, thanks Erik. You really saved my life right there mate."
"Zink nothing of it." Erik said with a smile.
Sniper then walked back to the window of the high tower and began looking through his scope.
"Boom, headshot." Erik quickly ran back outside. He could almost see the Sniper waving at him through the window.
"Spy's sappin' mah sentry."
Erik took out his Amputator and ran to the Engineer's nest where the intelligence was kept. "ATTENTION, THE ENEMY HAS TAKEN OUR INTELLIGENCE!" said the Administrator through the speakers. Erik began to run up the stairs.
"Wave goodbye to your secret crap, dumbass!" said a voice. Erik saw a blur of red quickly run past him. "Think fast, chucklenuts!" the blur said and Erik was then in a daze. Unable to catch up to his assailant, Erik ran to the Engineer's nest. The sentry, the dispenser, and the teleporter were all sapped and destroyed. But the Engineer was there.
"Engi, vat happened?" said Erik.
"Well listen boy..I was right here defendin' the ol' briefcase when mah teleporter here was sapped. I ran quickly to it but then mah dispenser was sapped. You should have seen me boy...I was mad as hell...I darn near dropped my wrench in all my frustration...I decided to hunt down the dirty backstabber...Took out mah ol' shot gun out I did."
"And zen?"
"Well, he darn near comes close to stabbing me, but I shot him. I ran to mah sentry...saw it was still okay...and I then walked over to get some of them er..metal...When I come back...I see the snake sappin' mah sentry. He dead-ringed me I says. I shoot him again and that's the end of his life. I go to the sentry to remove the sapper, but it was too late and mah sentry gets destroyed as well." The Engineer began to walk closer to Erik.
"I see. Zen vat about ze Scout?"
"Well, the gosh darn idiot runs up, shoots me from behind, and runs with the intel. I try to chase him and shoot him with mah pistol but he's too darn quick."
"Ah, of course. He is ze Scout."
"Yeah...Now, if you don't mind I could use some healing. I'd really appreciate it pardner." He began to raise his hand in the air.
"Of course. I vill heal you." said Erik with a cunning smile. He took out his Amputator and stabbed the Engineer right through his heart. The disguise wore off. "But sometimes, ze healing is not as rewarding as ze hurting."
He took out his saw from the spy's body. Erik looked to the hallway and saw little spurts of blood appearing out of nowhere. He ignored it and began cleaning the blood off his saw.
"Ohhhhh..."
Erik followed the moaning to the back of the desk and found the Engineer. Erik took his pulse and saw that the Engineer was still alive. He saw the wound from the backstab and quickly took out some gauze from his med-kit and began wrapping it around the Engineer's body. The Engineer's body was heavy and so Erik began dragging him down the stairs. He heard the yells of his teammates from below. As he was leaving through the door way, the floor below him exploded. Erik was somehow unaffected.
"Kabloo-ey!" screamed the Demoman."OH BLOODY HELL! You made me waste me ammo lad. That trap was for the RED spy."
Erik recovered from the initial shock and rubbed the dust off his clothes. "I'm sorry Demoman. Ze RED spy probably escaped by now."
"Aye." said the Demoman.
"Vell, if you can, can you help me bring the Engineer to the Medic's office? He's really quite heavy."
"Aye fine, but ya owe me next time, me lad." The Demoman took the Engineer from Erik's arms and began dragging him towards the Medic's office.
Erik was once again by himself. The screams of his teammates and enemies surrounded him. He looked over into the RED tower. He could see the RED scout place the intelligence on the table. Then it happened.
"YOU'VE FAILED!" the Administrator said.
The groans of his teammates could be heard. Erik could see the Pyro clumsily running up to him. "Khamahh!" and the Pyro pointed out toward the incoming enemy team. The Pyro stood with his hands on his hips and began tapping his foot impatiently.
"Oh, don't vorry about me Pyro. You can go on vithout me."
Pyro gave him a thumbs up and began to run toward the BLU camp. Erik went to the other side of the desert, a side he usually never went on to hide. Neither his teammates nor his enemies saw him run there. He went over the small sand dune and there laid a teenage girl, unconscious, but she seemed to be breathing still.
"A girl? Vat is she doing here?"
Erik got a bit closer and felt to see if there was a pulse. He looked at her back and was surprised to see there was a wound below her left shoulder.
"It doesn't appear to be fatal." Erik said. "But a girl.." Erik mumbled. "She's not even vearing red or blue." Erik stared at the girl with her gray-brown clothes. "But she's injured. I can't just leave her here. I'll carry her to Medic's office and take care of her vounds zere." He took her in his arms and began running.
"CEASE FIGHTING!" the Administrator said.
He could see the enemy team running back to their camp. He quickly ran to the Medic's office. Medic was not inside and only the injured and unconscious Engineer was there. He placed the girl on the operating table and strapped her on.
"She doesn't look like any girl I've ever seen." He was somewhat fascinated.
Then a knock came on the door.
"Erik, Erik! Open zis door right now." Erik opened the door and there was Medic.
"You vere shot?" Erik said when he noticed that Medic's side was bleeding.
"Erik now is not ze time. Please, hand me some pain pills. Ve vill need to get this over vith quickly. I'm starting to get dizzy from ze lack of blood." Erik handed the pills to Medic who then took some. Then Erik took the Quick Fix and shot the healing beam directly into Medic. The Medic's wounds instantly sealed up.
"Zank you!" said Medic.
"So tell me..vat happened?" said Erik.
"Heavy and I, ve go off to into ze RED team's tower. Acht, you should have seen ze amount of sentries zey had. I activated my Uber, but ve only covered a few of zem. Even vith Demoman helping us, zere really vas too many."
"And zen? "
"Vell, from ze tower I can see ze RED scout take ze Intelligence. Heavy and I ran downstairs and ve sent the Demoman to the BLU tower to take care of the spy in I saw in ze window. Heavy and I get ready for ze Scout to come in the tower. Ven ze Scout does, he takes his bat and swings a ball zat hits my head. Heavy tried shooting him but ze Scout was too fast. Ve realize zat it is too late, and ve retreat. But as ve are running, I get shot in my side by ze RED Sniper."
"It is good zen that he does not have good aim." Erik joked.
"Zat is not entirely true. Ze force from ze bullet still knocked me down. So anyvay, Heavy picked me up and carried me over to my office. I felt better along ze way and so I valked the rest of the vay back. He zen vent back to ze camp vith ze others."
"Ah, I see."
"So you tell me. Vhy is ze Engineer here?" Erik began to get nervous. "Vell, I found him behind ze desk in ze Intelligence room. He vas stabbed in ze back by ze RED Spy. It vas not fatal. So I tried bringing him here, but he vas much too heavy."
"And so?"
"Vell, I asked ze Demoman who I ran into in BLU tower to bring him here.
"Very good. Yes." the Medic said. He looked at his operating table. "But Erik, I have one question. Who is zis?" Medic pointed at the girl on the table.
"I honestly have no idea."
"Then vere did she come from?"
"I found her on ze ground. She vas injured. I couldn't just leave her."
"Dummkopf! Have you lost your head? Vat if she is a member of ze RED team?"
"She vas injured though. You can't just leave her!" Erik said angrily.
Medic sighed in frustration. " I vill have to tell Soldier."
Erik said nothing. The Medic took his Medigun and walked out of the room.
