(A.N: I didn't die. Yes, shocking, even for me. Anyway, my computer broke down. I had, like, to buy a new and better one (with my father helping me pay, I'm not that rich), restore all memory, re-download all games… Good lord, what a mess that was. So really forgive for not updating. I shall start writing a.s.a.p! BTW, I found that really funny that people still continued following me, even though I didn't update! Thank y'all for ya faith! Well, 'nuff chattin', where were we? Oh, BTW, I decided that I won't use weapon changes that happened in Gun Mettle and Tough Break updates, but I will use new weapons, skins, cosmetics, game modes, taunts, etc.)

Engineer looked out the train window. It's been two days since they went aboard on the Amtrak train. The Texan didn't have much in common with Percy and Grover, and Annabeth was mostly talking with them. Guess she didn't like mercenaries and mortals, like the rest of the folks at Camp Half-Blood. Even after they got well and cozy, the campers were very reluctant of the mercenaries.

Engineer huffed and slowly drifted into sleep, but the intercom had different plans:

"All passengers! We arrived on the Amtrak station downtown! Please remember to collect all your belongings and have a nice day! Three-hour layover until the ride to Denver!"

Engineer got up, put his hardhat on, and picked his toolbox.

"Well, you find a place to place your teleporter, Engi, we'll go to the Gateway Arch for some sightseeing." Annabeth told to Engi.

"Alright, but take mah pistol with you for safet-"

"I told Scout and will tell you: We will not have a gun with us! Especially not now, in a closed space." Percy said, aggressively.

"Well ya saw what happened at Aunty's Em Something-Something, right? This time it is finale. Take, a, damn, gun!"

"As I said before, I don't even know how to shoot one!"

"YOU POINT THE DARN THING AT THE-"

"I GOT THE INSTRUCTIONS! I DON'T WANT TO-"

"Guys, please, stop fighting. The guards are watching us, quite displeased." Grover begged.

Percy took a deep breath and Engi rubbed his hardhat.

"I'm sorry, I should've calmed down and…" Percy started apologizing.

"No, no, kid. I need to control my anger management, comes along with the age and…" Engi started explaining.

"Look, if you look at it logically, I don't know how to aim a gun properly, right? What if I hurt anyone or, gods forbid, killed somebody? I could never live with that, and this whole quest will fail."

"Yes, yes, I understand, go along."

"Thanks, and sorry."

"Ditto. Watch yourself back there!"

Engineer watched as they walked away.

"Well, that was awkward." He murmured. "Okay, focus. Where can I find a good place to hide the tele?"

After a few minutes, Engineer found a quite deserted alleyway, near the Arch, and placed the teleporter. Soon, all the mercs were together again.

"Well, that was quite the boring wait!" Spy brushed his suit.

"That makes tha nine of us. Gosh, two days doing nothing. Can't wait for some action!" Scout stretched.

"Be careful vhat you vish for." Medic adjusted his glasses.

"Hey, Texan! Where are the trio?" Spy asked Engineer, suspicious.

"Oh, well. Heh, see, they wanted to go to the Arch and, heh, well…" Engineer gulped.

"Engineer. Did you let them go, without any supervision? After the last incident?" Spy approached Engineer in a menacing walk. Engineer knew that walk. Spy did during battle, when he was about to backstab someone.

"Well, see, I thought, I mean, monsters don't attack in front of mortals, right?" Engineer cringed as Spy toward above him.

"Are you aware of the thing called Mist?! What the hell were you thinking-"

"Com'on, Spook. Cut him some slack. Maybe-" Sniper put his hand on Spy's arm.

"Maybe what? What could possibly make him let them go?!" Spy yelled.

Engineer stood firmly and looked at Spy right in his eyes. "Well listen', pall! I couldn't just stop them forcefully! I-"

"You could at least went with them! What did you-"

An explosion cut their argument. They looked above them. There was a hole in the Arch.

"Oh, good! Look what happened now!" Spy yelled.

"How it is my faul-"

"GET YOUR DAMN SHIT TOGETHER, FRENCH AND TOAST! OUR TARGETS ARE BEING ATTACKED! WE NEED TO GET UP THERE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!" Soldier screamed at them. "That's why I grabbed a grappling hook from the truck!" He pulled said hook from his belt and suddenly, the B.A.S.E Jumper appeared on his back and he grabbed it two.

"From where tha hell did ya get that?!" Scout called in surprise.

"An invisibility spell I stole from Merasmus!" Soldier grinned.

"First time ya did somethin' smart," Demoman grunted, "But who's gonna geet up there? Ye only got one."

"Hmm, ve vill need a close-quarter-combatant, obviously." Medic started walking in circles and quickly planned. "Ve know it can breathe fire, and in a large scale, so Pyro vould be a good option. Only problem, ve can't torch the vhole place up and ve don't know if it's fire resistant. Scout vould be too veak."

"Hey!" Scout protested.

"Heavy!" Medic pointed at the Russian, startling him. "You are our only option!"
"Merph, wroulph hevah enpahpher pha phillians?" Pyro asked Medic.

"Yes, Heavy can't use Sasha."

Heavy sighed in frustration.

"Yes, I know. But it'll just slow you down and you might damage someone vhen you spray it."

"So shotgun?" Heavy asked.

"Take it vith you, but I think you should rely on your fists, vonce more. A monster that breathes fire in such a large scale is surely too big for a shotgun."

"Very well. Heavy is always happy to use hands to kill babies."

Another fiery explosion erupted on the Arch. Sniper scoped on the place.

"Holy dooley! That Percy boy is about to jump!"

"Now go!" Medic barked.

Heavy took the grapple hook and the B.A.S.E Jumper from Soldier's hands and charged, leaping from building to building.

'Hmph, that Mann Co. grappling hook training before we were introduced to Mannpower sure paid off!' He thought. (A.N: I would kill for a TF2/AOT crossover. Sure, the video was cool, but a real fanfiction would be awesome.) Heavy quickly shot the hook towards the hole and rushed in.

Percy was not having a good time. The Chimera and Echidna had him pinned down, and no help was on the way. He looked behind him and gulped. His only option is to jump to the river. He can only hope the monsters will not hurt the mortals.

"Jump, Perseus Jackson. Prove that you're the Son of Poseidon!" Echidna hissed.

The Chimera was about to unleash another wave of flames. He got to do it. Percy prepared to leap… wait, who's that scream belongs to?

"HERE I COME!" A familiar voice came behind him.

Percy's eyes widened. He quickly jumped away before a very large figure came flying through the hole.

BAM!

That was the sound of a big Russian man striking a critical hit on a Chimera.

The monster fell down on the floor, unconscious, but alive. Heavy made sure it won't be both.

"Eat my boot, you dirty worm!" Heavy stomped the Chimera over and over until it dissolved. He turned to Echidna.

"NOOO! HOW DARE YOU, FILTHY MORTAL, TO KILL MY CHILD?" The ugly thing bellowed.

"I am going to tear your jaw out, сука!" Heavy pulled his shotgun out and shot all six pellets at Echidna. It damaged her and she cried in pain, but sure wasn't going to die anytime soon.

"Stupid mortal! You think you can kill me, Echidna, mother of all monsters, with a puny gun?!" The monster roared.

"Heavy understands. Heavy will have to kill you the old fashioned way." He threw the B.A.S.E Jumper to Percy. "Go! You pull the red chute thing!" He yelled.

"But I've never used a parachute before!" Percy said.

"There's a first time for-" He was cut by Echidna leaping on him. "Go!"

"Here's goes nothing." Percy muttered and jumped.

At first everything seemed fine. Percy closed his eyes, waited five seconds and pulled the chute.

"Oh, gods. Don't look down." He whispered.

But then, the parachute seemed to weaken. A rope tore.

"Oh, come on!" He wailed. The second rope tore.

"Think, think…" Percy bit his lip. The third rope tore.

"Well, back to my original plan I guess!" He drifted towards the river. The final rope tore and he plummeted to the water.

"OH BLOODY HELL!" Sniper, who was still scoping on the hole, yelled.

"What's happening?!" Spy grabbed the small binoculars he always keeps in his suit and looked out.

"Good lord! HE'S FALLING TO HIS DEATH!" He screamed.

Through the binoculars, he saw Percy, with the B.A.S.E Jumper on his back, parachuteless, falling to the river.

"Everyone stay put! I'll cloak and disguise as some civilian to get closer!" Spy said and quickly rushed towards the scene.

When he arrived, close to the river, he spotted Annabeth and Grover talking to someone. Is it… He got closer. Percy! Thanks God… Gods...

Annabeth saw him and her eyes widened. "Oh, hello, officer! We were just taking our little brother out of the-"

"Wait, officer?" Spy didn't notice who he was tagging. He just knocked out some poor guy and ran.

"Wait, is it you, Spy? Not the best disguise to get close to-"

"Sir!" An officer approached him. "Our forces is rushing in. We'll evacuate the civilians as soon as possible!" He frowned. "What are those kids doing in the-"

"Oh, they're just silly kids playing. I was just telling them to get out when you got here. Come on, there's more serious problems at hand!" He nodded to the trio and went with the officer.

Grover sighed in relief. "Alright, let's get out of-"

"Hey kids! What are you doing in the river?" Another officer approached them.

Before they could respond, yet another familiar voice came behind them: "Oh, hello, officer! I was just takin' ma' brothers! They are just fooling around! Forgive them please!" Scout appeared, grabbed Percy out of the water, and pushed them.

The officer looked confused. "But…"

"Bye! Thank you" And they ran away.

Soon they were with the rest of the group. Spy de-cloaked next to them and heavy dropped down from the roof, his clothes ragged and sliced.

"The little fat monster baby lady was no problem. Heavy destroyed her and wiped her dust blood off his clothes. The problem was the American police shooting at me, but I think I managed to escape them." He explained.

"Let's have a short break. I feel like I haven't smoked in years." Spy suggested and lit up a cigarette. He offered one to Sniper.

"Ya said good, mate." Demoman brought out beers he bought beforehand and offered one to Soldier. Heavy took out a sandwich he made in Medusa's lair. Scout took out a soda. Pyro sat down and burned some papers.

"Ve are quite in a problem now. Ve'll have to hide even more carefully." Medic said.

"Not the trio. I'm still not a suspect. I can still go with 'em." Engineer said. He pulled out his Destruction PDA and pressed the button. Then he changed to the Construction PDA and pressed another button. Immediately a toolbox appeared in his hands.

"What's this?!" Annabeth called in bewilderment.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Mann Co's finest number. You need to have some metal, any metal, in your pocket, pull this device out, press what do you want to build, you can put up to four machines, and a toolbox with the item you wanted in it will appear in your hands! Rather fine, right?" Engineer explained, clearly content telling about the wonders of Mann Co. technology.

"How is it even possible?!" Annabeth was clearly astonished with those strange mortals.

"As I said before, darling. Australium. Possibly the greatest element to exist in any universe, dimension, or cosmos. I can safely say Australium is basically physical magic. You can literally create, build and destroy anything with it."

"Wow… I would love to get my hands on a chunk." Annabeth said, passionately.

Engineer chuckled. "A chunk of this fine thing would cost ya up to five trillion dollars, and with Australium slowly depleting from Australia… Prices are high as ever."

"Alright, enough chatting." Spy said and threw down his cigarette. The rest of the mercs also quit their activity and got up. "Engineer, place the teleporter. Good job, everyone. Let's get going."
