Author's note : It's been a while but guess who got his mojo back and typing again. Also I may be better or worse but feel free to judge if you want. I'm open to suggestions. And next Chapter Classic Heavy and Caboose fight. Now back to the story.
[Somewhere in a Grey Mann facility]
Classic Heavy was speaking to Grey Mann about how their main target, Church, had just been snatched by a robot. " By the time we arrived all the australiam was gone, as well as Church. SharkFace went through a teleporter like thing himself, maybe hunting Church down. "
Grey Mann seemed not to upset about that, " No matter, I assume he will be retrieved as for the australiam don't worry it's a fraction to what the woman has acquired. And as for her whereabouts... "
" We have the targets downstairs, they're being interrogated as we speak. We'll have the answers soon. " Classic Heavy began thinking about something else. " You know I don't get you world domination guys, by the time you get to enjoy it you'd be a hundred god damn years old. "
" Getting close to a 150 god damn years. "
" How'd you do it. "
" I'm glad you asked because I've been dieing to tell my plans to an absolute stranger. Please we are co-workers not girlfriends, I pay you suitcases full of money and you do the dirty work if you don't like this arrangement... "
" No the money is good. You just got me thinking about them rocks you've been sending us after. "
" That will be a mystery maybe when you retire with all my money you can start an investigation for it. As for now I am the brains. You are the brawn. "
Classic Heavy rested one of his big heavy hands on Grey Mann's Shoulders. " Yeah well they must be rubbing off. Cause now you got me thinking. " He clenched his fist holding Grey Mann by the throat. " Me and the boys ain't getting any younger. "
[ With Simmons, Velvet, Soldier, and Zhana ]
The Soldier was showing amazing resilient to his interrogator as his face was bruised and bloodied, he was locked down like a fort. " You can torture me all you want but I will not break. I have dreamed of the day when I could have information worth hiding. And today is the that day. "
The female classic Pyro had part of her face scorched off. She had her burned flesh showing as well as one eye out. " I must respect your resilience but I haven't asked you a question. "
" Well don't waste your breath, cuz the only thing you're getting out of me is name, rank, and cereal number. "
Classic Pyro wasn't too pleased. " Where...is...the administrator? "
" I don't even know that one. Only Miss Pauling knows. Ask me something I do know. "
" So Miss Pauling knows. "
" I... you're gonna have to torture me to get that me. "
Classic Pyro grabbed a drill and began to rev it up. " Torture implies that you have something I need. This is me killing you slowly. " The buzz from the drill rang through the whole room. "
Zhana who was handcuffed to a pipe next to Velvet spoke up. " Please leave him be. If you must tortured somebody torture me. " Simmons remained quiet for two reasons: 1. He didn't want to be tortured. 2. He was working on an escape plan.
Classic Pyro responded with a smile. " Don't worry you're next. " Simmons scowled at her remark but as he was looking in her directions he saw her gas mask and grenades on a wall.
Immediately Classic Heavy stormed in holding a helpless Grey Mann. " Got another one for you Bea."
" What do we need him for. "
" Nothing he's worthless to us "
" Oh "
" C'mon Bea, I'm sure he knows something. Have fun fishing... Wait what the hell am I doing. I almost forgot this. " He clenched his fist in Grey Mann's back as he ripped off his life support device forcing Grey Mann to gasp in pain. He then refocused his attention to Classic Pyro. " Pace yourself Bea more are coming in. "
Simmons now saw his chance to put his plan to action, he slipped out of his cuffs and quietly grabbed Classic Pyro's gas mask and a grenade. He made his way across the floor as his lanky shadow was in her back he is tossed her drill to the side. He then stuffed the live grenade in her suit then sealed the deal with covering her face with the mask. Within a few seconds she had inflated like a balloon. Simmons began untying Soldier.
" Nice work Simmons, " The bloodied Soldier complimented him. " How did you get out of the cuffs, wait, I know you did the old dislocating thumb trick. "
Simmons shyly admitted the truth. " Not exactly sir. "
" So how'd you get out. " Simmons held up his robotic hand which had a magnetic joint within it connecting it back to his arm, Simmons went back to free Velvet while did the same with Zhana. "Let's free the others. "
" Yes sir," Simmons said with admiring the man's position and leadership resembling Sarge.
All of a sudden a voice spoke up. " Wait. Take. Take me with you. "
" Good God, it's a zombie " Soldier said. " Simmons look for honey while I strip myself. "
Zhana was about to follow his lead. " Zhana will also take pants off. "
The crippled Grey Mann was trying to speak but it came out in short burst. " There's no time... please... Keep your pants on... It feels like a knife in my chest when I speak... But I must say this... you're all idiots... take me to Pauling. "
[ With Pauling, Spy, Demoman, Pyro, and Fox ]
Fox was silent as he sat on the metal foldout bench. He heard the conversation between Spy and Pauling debating whether or not she was too blame for this. He was about to zone out when he heard Spy says : " In three seconds I'm going to crack a cyanide molar. I will spit half of it into your mouth before my heart stops. " Just as Spy was about to all hope had restored into Fox as Heavy had burst through the door holding a shotgun.
Heavy was a little confused about what he was seeing. " What did Heavy miss? "
Miss Pauling was nearly overjoyed to see him. "Heavy, where's Scout?"
" Freeing the others. "
" This is good, we're back in the game. Now we just have to escape and we... "
" No. This island is crawling with robots, I barely made it here. If we try to fight we will die. If we try to sneak our way out we will be spotted and die. "
" Heavy we're so close. If we just... "
" No We can not escape. You have to go. Get to the administrator and complete the mission. I will make distraction." Fox, paused at the way Heavy spoke, not what he said, the way he said I instead of refer to himself in third person.
" Against a whole army. Heavy you'd only buy us a few seconds. "
" I can make big distract, you will have time. " He said it again. Fox then gestured to Miss Pauling to uncuff him.
" Heavy let's think about this, there has to be another way... "
" Miss Pauling it is only way. "
" I... " Miss Pauling stuttered for another answer.
Spy spoke up from his position. " Mikhail, it is a noble gesture, and we accept. But we may not see it if we stay here being touched by it. Someone unchain. " No one would ever call him by his name, and where's Caboose or the other members of team CFYV?
Miss Pauling had just released Fox when she began uncuffing Spy. " Alright lean forward. Heavy if you..." Before she finished her sentence Fox grabbed Heavy's throat and yanked as hard as he could pulling a bloody windpipe. Everyone in the room had a face of anger mixed with shock. Miss Pauling was the first to speak, " You bastard, I'll kill you for... " She was cut off again turning to Heavy's corpse to see that he was actually the Class Spy. " How did you know? " Fox simply nodded his head leaving everyone unanswered.
Just then everyone was hearing something close to the door ringing resembling a telephone. The Classic Soldier swung the door open seeing his comrade on the floor with his throat laid out next to him. He refocused his attention to Fox, " You son of a... " Before he finished his sentence a robotic hand was shot like a rocket in his direction towards his far side away from the direction it shot. As it clinged on to the man's face the words (NECK SNAP) could be heard as the man's head was spun around.
Simmons then came charging from around the corner with Zhana and Soldier on his heel as he praised his arm, " Thank God for Simmons 2.5 upgrade. ". He began to refocus as Soldier brought Grey Mann into the cell. " This dick wad wanted to speak to you. "
As Soldier and Zhana were admiring a toilet Simmons wanted to listen in. Miss Pauling asked first. " So you cost us our jobs, hire maniacs to hunt us down, you got sniper killed, and now you're here in front of us dieing. What do you want us to do? Help you? "
Grey Mann responded knowing the answer. " If it's not too much trouble. " He was struggling each word he said.
" You do realize we hate you right? "
" Oh please what would any of you know about hate. Do you know what a man of my intellect could have done to this world. If I had gotten that australiam first. But I didn't she did. And as much as it hurts me to admit it she's smarter than me. I think she's even angrier, you're right, whatever you thought I'd do with the australiam you're right. What she has is way worse. Stop her. "
There was a moment of silence before Miss Pauling spoke again. " Stop her? Why would I stop her?I've worked for her. Lied for her, framed people for her, killed people for her. Do you think I'd don't any of this if I didn't know what she is, what she's capable of? What do you think I am some kind of pawn? "
Spy tried to interrupt. " Miss Pauling. "
" I know exactly what she could do with that kind of power. And I'll be right by her side when that happens. You old... "
Simmons coughed before getting her attention, " Miss Pauling. "
Miss Pauling had stopped just to realize that Grey Mann had layed dead with his eyes open. " I got to into that. When'd he die? "
Spy just had his normal face as if nothing had happened, " About 2 minutes ago. "
" Oh, that's embarrassing, "
" Don't be you had his full attention until his lungs fell out his back. "
Simmons interrupted the conversation with a question. " So you lied for her? "
She remembered her words and her promise to Church, " To other people. "
" ... Alright then. "
(Later while escaping)
Classic Heavy was projecting multiple holograms of himself where the mercs and Simmons, Velvet, and Fox were while they were ecsaping. " Can you hear me rejects? Yeah you can. Did you know Grey Mann was going to invade Australia? See I couldn't figure it out, there's no more, your old lady took it all. But there is some, it's not in any mine though it's in the people. "
Spy had came around the corner giving hope in Miss Pauling's eyes. " Spy! Did you find a way out. "
Spy had an answer, unfortunately it's not the one they hoped for. " Technically yes, you can just make it out over the ocean of robots,"
When they turned the corner they saw what he meant. A swarm of floating robots with smooth steel for tentacles was hovering above them. Classic Heavy finished his speech, " So he made these leech bots, made to suck the australiam out of their bloodstream, So I told them to suck the australiam out of you. You don't have any in you, I know it, you know it, but they don't, that's why I told them to keep digging until they get all of it. You killed 3 coworkers of mine, friends, I hope this hurts a lot. "
Before they had a chance to react the army was already on them. As they began sucking the blood away from them they all made a sound of pain and suffering as they screamed. Simmons thought this was the end.
