Freak Holding Facility

Insanity, USA

Word spread fast throughout the Facilities that the Bugler had inadvertently been sent to Well, where the mercenaries were fighting. Even more so when Painis Cupcake and Weaselcake were sent to dispose of the murderous Vagineer. Not long after, the center park area (think of Times Square) was crowded with various Freaks of all teams and colors, waiting for the jumbo-tron screen to connect to the cameras and activate, revealing the fight to all who wanted to see. Amidst the crowd were Christian Brutal Sniper and Gentlespy, standing in a flock of red and blue colored Freaks, eagerly awaiting for the show to start. Christian Brutal, however, was more or less concerned by this recent outcome of another Freak Fight. Not long ago did he and Stu Pidface fight in Dustbowl, and they were also considered powerful Freaks. And now the three most iconic Freaks of the entire Project were battling in an all-out brawl.

"It can't be a coincidence." Christian Brutal concluded. Gentlespy overheard his friend's concern, turning towards the murderous Freak with a curious face.

"A coincidence?" Gentlespy asked. "I don't follow."

"Two Freak Fights outside the Facilities happening in a row." Christian Brutal stated, stroking his beard. "Sure, they're common as tumbleweeds here, but it's never happened before ever since the Containment Breach." He paused a moment, tapping his chin with his fore-finger. "Come to think of it, a lot of things have changed since the Containment Breach."

"You're right, bud," Said a Scout's voice. Christian Brutal Sniper and Gentlespy turned to the source of the sound, and were startled by the sight of Major Scout Guy, a RED Scout adorned in orange lensed goggles and brandishing a unique scattergun. Many Freaks knew him as a veteran Freak Fighter, and somewhat of a Peacemaker in the Facility. He is respected among several of the Lawful or Good Freaks, but not so much as the Chaotic and Evil ones like Christian Brutal or Gentlespy. "Somethin' is definitely up."

"How can you be so sure?" Gentlespy asked.

"The Freaks never had much interaction with the outside lately," Major Scout Guy said. "Or even at all. Until three days ago, when Painis Cupcake first joined in a Sudden Death match amidst a RED and BLU conflict. Then, the Containment Breach happened," He turned to the two aggressive Freaks, their reflections bouncing off his orange goggles. "Ya know, I was one of the few Freaks selected to bring 'em back?"

"A bunch of soldiers with stun guns got me," Christian Brutal admitted. "Snuck up on me as I butchered some guard."

"Yeah, but do you know who one of the Freaks I brought back was?" He asked. The two RED murderers shook their heads 'no'. Major pointed into the crowd, leading their eyes at a lone BLU Vagineer, conversing with other members of its herd.

"A Vagineer?" Gentlespy asked.

"Not just any Vagineer," Major stated. "The Bugler. The very Freak that Painis and Weaselcake are fighting in Well right now."

"You took on the Bugler?" Christian Brutal gaped, stifling a chuckle. He knew that Major was a renowned fighter, but with his build, there was no way he could capture the Bugler.

"I specialize in Vagineer hunting. You forget I have to deal with that Evolved bastard." Major said, chuckling a little at his past endeavors. "However, there was something strange about when we caught him. It was me and a couple guards, and we found him just a mile away from the door to the Pentagram in the underground tunnels. And to make things weirder, he didn't fight. Just... surrendered." Gentlespy spat out the drink he was sipping, shocked at the concept of a feared Vagineer going down without fighting.

"You're kiddin' Major, aren't ya?" Christian Brutal said. The frozen look of seriousness told him otherwise. "Bloody hell..."

"And get this," Major said, pulling a paper from within his pocket, presenting it to Christian Brutal. "Cyborneer recently did some work at the Eye in the Sky, fixin' their computers and whatever. He took a look at the security scan, and saw this." Reading through the paper, Christian Brutal saw that several incredibly dangerous Freaks, most of which were now kept in Maximum Security, were on this list. These Freaks also had some involvement in the Breach, and among the names was the Bugler, and even... Behemoth?

"Behemoth? Nightmare Medic's crony?" Gentlespy queried.

"There's some serious shit happening behind the scenes," Major said. "And whatever it is, it's gonna happen to not only us Freaks, but the REDs, BLUs, and Mann Co. itself." Major gave Christian Brutal one last slap on the back, before running off into the crowd. Both RED Freaks were left both startled and confused by this recent encounter. Sure, they could've just brushed it off as a random occurrence, but the way Major Scout Guy put it, something was definitely up.

"I hope Major is wrong about this..." Christian Brutal muttered.

"Me too, my friend." Gentlespy said, his eyes drifting off. "HEY, SOMEONE'S MAKING DONUTS!" The two murderous Freaks cheered at the sight of the delicious baked goods, and ran off into the crowd, almost completely forgetting the entire ordeal.

The entire Facility erupted in cheer as the massive television screen flickered to life, displaying the grounds of Well. The area, however, lay barren, with no one in sight. Many of the Freaks were confused, while others were irritated.

"You have got to be kiddin' me!" Magic Mann groaned. Conjuring a soda can with his magic, the magical Scout Freak threw the can at the massive screen. Just as the can impacted, Painis Cupcake came into view on the screen, thrown to the ground, and having his face planted into the cement by the Bugler's boot. The Freaks cheered once again, the fight was on!


Well

Weaselcake and Snyphurr stared at each other silently while Painis and the Bugler fought with each other in the distance. It was not the reunion the two brothers were hoping for, but internally, they were glad to see each other again. Snyphurr spoke in his strange, almost unintelligible dialect in a tone of sorrowful greeting.

"It has been a long time, hasn't it?" Weaselcake asked, giving a half-hearted smile. "What have you been up to, lately?" Snyphurr spoke again, sounding annoyed and unhappy. "Well, I bet being trapped in a pocket dimension would be boring." He continued, sounding more excited and joyful. "You really shouldn't be that happy about being with the Bugler. He's heartless." Snyphurr simply gave an annoyed grunt. "I don't care if you're a Freak God, since Doc Jarate made me first, I'm considered older than you." While the two siblings continued bickering, Painis was holding the Bugler in a Full-Nelson, while repeatedly kicking him in the back of his leg.

"Looks like Painis is on top this time, eh?" Painis gloated.

"Darbbuh rehtom disputs uoy, sekoj xes gnikam trats t'nod." The Bugler grumbled before elbowing Painis in the ribs. The Soldier Freak yelped in pain, allowing the Bugler to break free and deliver a roundhouse kick to the face. Painis skyrocketed into the air, the Bugler shot a fist connected by a sinewy rope to grab his foe. Like a paddle-ball, the Bugler pulled Painis back towards him and smacked him in the face, sending him flying into a crate. He sat amidst the broken pieces of wood, dazed by the punch. While the Bugler charged at Painis, the slightly injured Freak rummaged through the crate for whatever item was inside. He grabbed onto something that felt like a weapon handle, and raised it to attack just as the Bugler leapt at his prey.

*SQUISH*

Everyone turned to the source of the sound, even Painis who dealt the attack. The Bugler felt a massive burning pain in his chest, and looking down, he saw a Japanese katana running right through him. He staggered backwards, blood running down his overalls and staining the ground. He raised his head upwards, and let out a pained howl to the heavens themselves.

"I don't care if he's tougher than Australium," Weaselcake winced. "That's gotta hurt." Snyphurr made an agreeing sound. Watching with morbid joy, Painis pulled himself from the crate remnants and smirked at his injured foe.

"So who's the toughest Freak now?" Painis gloated. "That's right, me!" While Painis did a small victory dance, the Bugler continued to glare and growl at his longtime rival.

"Uoy..." He growled. "Reffus lliw uoy." He turned to Weaselcake and Snyphurr, pointing at Painis. "Mih llik!" Painis immediately froze, fearing the wrath of Snyphurr and the curse of petrification. Snyphurr, stuck in a moral conundrum, floated midair, unable to decide what to do. Would he have to kill his master's foe just to appease the will of the Bugler, or spare him? He looked towards his brother, seeing the look of concern and sorrow on his face, hurt by the monster he had become. Then, he spoke.

"NO." He loudly proclaimed. With that, a flash of light consumed the area, and cracks formed on the statues of the mercenaries. One by one, both REDs and BLUs entrapped in stone broke free of the curse, flesh and blood once again. Weaselcake smiled at his long-lost brother, before transfixing his gaze to the Bugler. His stomach inflated and entire body turned black, activating his seldom used color-power. The Bugler felt himself grow lighter, like being filled with air. He realized that his entire body was inflating like a balloon, causing him to drift off like a blue parade float. Painis smirked at his friend, leaping up into the air and latching onto the Bugler balloon. With a mighty tug and a final scream from the Bugler, Painis pulled the sword from the Bugler's body, causing him to burst into a small explosion. Everyone cheered as the dreaded Bugler Vagineer was defeated, not only in Well, but the Freak Holding Facilities as well. With his master defeated and business concluded, Snyphurr flew off into the skies, vanishing back into his prison until summoned once again.


The REDs, now free of the curse, readied themselves for the remainder of the battle, now that the Freak issue had finally been dealt with.

"BLU Team has captured the final point," The Administrator announced over the speakers. "BLU Team is victorious."

"WHAT?!" All the REDs exclaimed. Within their own base, the BLU Engineer was standing triumphantly atop the now blue control point at the back of RED's base, a proud smirk on his face.

"Ah know sneakin' is usually Spy's gig," He said. "But hoo-whee! That was fun."


Freak Holding Facility

Maximum Security

While many of the Freak Holding Facilites were either massive cities, beautiful landscapes, or dark landscapes, Maximum Security was nothing like this. Instead of large lands for Freaks to roam free, it was a massive Prison building approximately thirteen stories in height, the more dangerous Freaks on the higher floors. Being dragged along the grimy dark hallways of one such floor, beaten and bloodied, was the Bugler, escorted by a pair of robotic guards. Violent and insane Freaks swiped and snarled from behind their bars, demanding for blood or escape through incoherent chatter. The guard-bots threw the Bugler into an empty cell, locking him inside and sealing the door with a laser shield, leaving him behind to rot. There he sat, body and pride broken, in total silence and anger. Suddenly, the room felt a few degrees warmer.

"How the mighty hath fallen." Said a demonic voice. The Bugler yelped in surprise at the sight of Nightmare Medic looming above him. He scrambled about the room, trying to escape the Freak that all Freaks feared.

"Retsam ym!" He exclaimed. "Ris em llik t'nod esaelp! Detacilpmoc tog sgniht tub, uoy teg ot tsedrah ym deirt Ha!"

"Relax, you perverse faced abomination." Nightmare Medic said. "I merely am here to tell you plans have changed." The Bugler calmed himself down, steadily pulling himself to his feet.

"Who degnahc?" He asked.

"We simply need to instate enough outside Freak Fights," Nightmare explained. "Keep that crone and the muscular fool distracted, long enough for Schadenfreude to plant the virus in the Eye." He rubbed his hands maliciously, chuckling evilly. "Mann Co. will fall before the month's end, and we, my servant, shall finally be free." With his statement concluded, Nightmare Medic vanished in a gout of flame, leaving the Bugler with nothing but his own thoughts and a burn mark on the floor.
