A/N: Even though not many people have seen this yet, I've decided to continue writing. It's Spring Break anyways, so I might as well work on this while I'm away from my busy schedule!

The RED Soldier stared at the adolescent with bewilderment and ferocity. Flapjack and K'nuckles stood flabbergasted as they saw rockets and bullets flying everywhere a little distance away.

"Stop ya worryin', Solly, ya sound like Ma. I went off of the battlefield on accident and I found these two guys who want to help us!" the young runner pointed to Flapjack and K'nuckles.

"GET THEM GEARED UP, MAGGOT, AND MAKE SURE THEY KNOW HOW TO FIGHT LIKE MEN! ALSO, IF YOU DON'T STOP CALLING ME SOLLY, I WILL SEND YOU BACK TO YOUR MA IN TINY PIECES! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD, SCOUT?"

"Whatevah man… I'll have 'em out there in a sec."

"Solly" ran back into the nearby battle. Scout let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew, sorry that ya had tah meet him like that. He can be so annoying…"

Flapjack finally came out of his state of shock, "So… your name is Scout?"

"Well, that's just my class. We don't really like goin' by our real names. What are ya names?"

"I'm Flapjack, and this is Captain K'nuckles," Flapjack looked over at his captain with concern.

Captain K'nuckles was still watching the combat with pure fear. Eventually, he decided to take his mind off it for a couple of minutes by joining the tête-à-tête.

"Hey, uh… Scout, is it? I thought this was a payload thing…" the captain said.

"Yeah… it is…" Scout replied as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Doesn't a payload have to do with money?"

"No, not at all! Wait, are you telling me that ya don't know what the point of the payload is?"

"Is that a bad thing?" Flapjack asked before K'nuckles could think up a reasonable lie and excuse.

"Yes, that's very bad! Did ya even know that we're fightin' out here?" Scout's arms flailed in a very panicky matter.

"We kind of figured that out not too long ago…" Flapjack nervously laughed.

"Ugh, Solly'll kill me if I don't get out there soon! Okay, I'll give ya a really short lesson: our goal is tah stop the BLU team from gettin' their bomb into our base. Ya just have to shoot your guns and kill people. Don't worry about dyin' because the uniforms we wear have a special coding that brings us to Respawn. Got it?"

The two nodded. It seemed simple enough: shoot, kill, don't die, and get sent to Respawn if you do die. What could possibly go wrong?

"Okay, I'm gonna assign you to your classes now. Flapjack, you'll be a Scout like me, and I'll be able to help ya plus teach ya out there. Captain K'nuckles, you'll be a Demoman, just because I will never get over that joke I made about ya walkin'," Scout then handed them their attire and weaponry.

Once they were in their new clothes and gear, Scout showed K'nuckles how to shoot sticky bombs and detonate them, shoot out grenades, and let him take a first swig of scrumpy (K'nuckles didn't like it so he quickly switched it with a bottle of maple syrup he had in his pocket). After teaching Flapjack how to shoot a gun, Scout decided he would teach the young one the rest on the field.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Scout scampered at a ludicrous velocity as the three left to fight.

"I can't run… that… fast!" Flapjack was quickly out of breath as he tried to catch up to Scout.

"Here, drink this!" Scout tossed a can of Bonk! Atomic Punch to the lad.

After only one sip, the sailor boy was running as swiftly as his new coworker, and they were already fighting. Captain K'nuckles eventually joined the combat, but he wasn't there long. As soon as he arrived, a giant rocket hit him. Blackness surrounded him until he woke up in a white room.

"Aah! Where am I?"

"In Respawn, partner, where else would ya be?" a voice replied.

Captain K'nuckles turned around and faced a man wearing goggles. He wore a yellow hardhat, a red shirt, and overalls.

"Uh, well, I'm new to all of this stuff… who are you?"

"I'm the Engineer, but just call me Engie. Is this your first day? I didn't know we were gettin' another teammate."

"Uh, well, I met this guy and he told me about some payload so I joined in… what do you mean first—"

Before the new Demoman could finish his question, a guy wearing a red top and vest appeared.

"Good day," he waved to Engie.

He looked at Captain K'nuckles and didn't know what to say.

"Oh, uh, Sniper, this is a new Demoman of ours…"

"Oh, sorry mate. You can never be too safe when those bloody spois are creepin' around…" Sniper soon left to defend the RED base.

"Well, this ain't no time for standin' around, let's get goin'!" Engie ran off.

How do I get out of here? Captain K'nuckles thought once he was alone. Soon, another person respawned, and he was very big. Plus, his weapon was large and it looked heavy. The poor captain hoped that this man wouldn't asphyxiate him thinking he was a "bloody spoi", or whatever that was.

"Who is leetle man?" the stranger's voice boomed.

"Please, don't hurt me! I'm, uh, a new Demo guy!"

"Don't worry, I no hurt leetle Demoman, unless if I must. I am Heavy weapons guy!"

"Nice to meet you, uh, Heavy weapons guy… can you tell me how to get out of here?"

Flapjack was a fast learner, and being fast was what he definitely needed to be considering that he was a Scout. His aim wasn't so good, but he did get lucky at times. He liked the bat and baseballs better since he found it humorous when his enemies dropped their weapons when random baseballs hit them in the head. Scout taught the boy as well as he could under the pressure of a real war happening around them.

"Man, this is actually kind of fun!" Flapjack said after one of his baseballs made a Sniper stumble backwards into a crate.

"I'm glad that ya like it out here. Some people get bored of it after a while, so it's good to have ya enthusiasm on the RED team."

"ALERT: THE BOMB IS REACHING THE FINAL CHECKPOINT!" a voice echoed from speakers.

"I've been hearing that voice all day, what is it for exactly?"

"That's the Administrator. She's always watchin' us fight, and in a case like this, it's helpful. We've gotta stop that bomb from gettin' all the way into the base!"

The "teacher" and his "student" raced towards the RED base. Luckily, Engie had a bunch of high-level sentries that were placed on a catwalk shooting at the BLUs who attempted to push the bomb further. The bomb was only a couple feet away and there were lifeless bodies surrounding it.

"Phew, the sentries got 'em…" Scout wiped away imaginary sweat from his forehead.

"Are the sentries those robot gun things?"

"Yep, ya got it. I hope that BLU Spy isn't creeping around…"

Uh-oh, Scout just had to say that. One of the sentries soon malfunctioned and blew up in Engie's face. Then, all of the others blew up and left behind metallic remains. In a puff of blue smoke, a man wearing a blue pin-striped suit and a ski mask appeared, grinning evilly as he smoked a cigarette.

"You might as well give up, partner!" he cackled at Engineer.

Engie soon pinned down the masked man (the man in the suit barely tried to defend himself) and held up his wrench.

"I'm done playin' games with you, boy," Engie replied.

Soon, the BLU mercenary was beaten with Engineer's wrench, and he let out a howl of pain.

"I got him," the Engineer called to the Scouts.

"Who was that guy?" Flapjack asked.

Before Scout could answer, Engineer let out his own scream of pain and fell from the catwalk. His corpse was only a few inches from Flapjack who was looking for a bullet hole or something that gave a clue to what had killed him. Odd as it sounds, Engie looked unscathed as he "rested" on his back with his eyes closed. Little did Flapjack know that there were stab marks on the man's back. Who had killed him?

"Hey, up here!" a familiar voice said.

The two Scouts looked up and saw the now alive BLU Spy holding a pocket watch.

"Darn, he used his Dead Ringer," Scout muttered under his breath.

Quickly, Flapjack followed Scout up the stairs and they prepared to beat Spy with their bats. Once they got up the steps, they couldn't find Spy anywhere.

"Wasn't he just here?" Flapjack asked.

Scout hushed him, since he knew that Spy must've activated his Cloak and Dagger. He started swinging his bat around every part of the catwalk, hoping to hit the invisible assassin. While he was distracted with that, the BLU Spy uncloaked right behind Flapjack after cleverly disguising himself as Engie.

"Scout, what in sam hill are you doin'?" "Engie" asked (which startled Flapjack since he hadn't noticed his presence).

"Oh, Engie, ya came back from Respawn. Well, that BLU Spy is hangin' around here and I can't find him!"

Flapjack looked at "Engie" and noticed something different about him: he was smoking a cigarette. He hadn't been smoking before, so why now?

"Engie, why are you smoking all of the sudden?" Flapjack queried.

Before the imposter could reply, Scout said, "Engie doesn't smoke at all…"

They both looked at "Engie" as sweat trickled down his face. BLU mercenaries were coming back to the bomb now, so Scout had to forget the odd smoking situation and left Flapjack alone. Oh, Scout, what a fatal mistake you made. Within seconds, Flapjack let out a piercing scream and was killed. That Engineer wasn't on RED's side, nor was he an Engineer at all… it was the evil BLU Spy. Unfortunately, Scout was soon dead as well, considering the BLUs began to gang up on the lone RED until he joined his "apprentice" in Respawn.

"YOU MUST DEFEND THE FINAL CHECKPOINT!" the Administrator yelled at all of the REDs.

Wait a minute… where were all of the REDs? Wouldn't they know to play defense and protect their base? The thing was that they were all inside the base… and it was all because of Captain K'nuckles. Once the two Scouts were revived and brought to the Respawn room, they located their team. The REDs were all looking at them as if they were blocking their view of something… but what? The pair turned around to see Heavy beating Captain K'nuckles to a pulp. No one bothered to pay attention to the Administrator's announcement of the RED's pathetic failure.

"NO, CAPTAIN! WHY IS HE DOING THIS TO YOU?!" Flapjack shouted and cried.

"If you come and stand by me so I can see ze fight, I shall tell you, mon lapin," a man said to Flapjack.

Flapjack was hesitant since this man looked a lot like the BLU Spy. The only difference was the color of his pin-striped suit and ski mask. The young boy didn't move and only looked at the man with pure fear in his eyes.

"Do not be afraid, I am ze RED Spy. I am on your team," he held out a hand.

Flapjack walked over to the RED Spy, convinced he could trust his teammate.

"Why is that guy hurting my friend?!" Flapjack tried to ask calmly, but a sob came out along with it.

"Quiet, he will be fine. Ze Respawn is not going to give out anytime soon. Heavy is angry with your camarade since he insulted his sandwiches and said he was fat," Spy couldn't help but laugh a little at that.

"Well, when did that all happen?"

"When ze new Demoman respawned, he ran into Heavy after talking to Sniper et Engineer. He didn't know how to get back on ze battlefield so he required ze assistance of Heavy. Turns out Heavy teased him a little by saying it was sad zhat he did not know how to get out of ze base. Your ami took it ze wrong way and returned some insults."

"So you guys have been watching this the whole time?"

"Oui, it is pretty entertaining. I—"

Before Spy could finish his sentence, BLU members stormed into the Respawn room and went on their victorious killing spree.
