The BLUs in are not the mercs, just replacements. Imagine them how you would like to.
Chapter 5: First Battle
Soldier's training was a complete nightmare. He yelled at everyone to do various forms of exercise, such as five mile runs, push ups, pull ups, among other things. It was nighttime when everything was done and dinner was just Heavy's Sandvichs he regrettably gave away. Right now, everyone was asleep in their rooms, except Scientist who was asleep in his lab from a late night experimenting, when Soldier came out of his room and blew his bugle to wake everyone up.
Soldier: UP AND AT 'EM, MAGGOTS! BATTLE DAY TODAY!
The yelling was so loud, that Scientist jolted awake from his lab. Spy came out of his room dressed and ready, while everyone else waddled out to go to the showers.
Soldier: See maggots! The crouton is already to fight, unlike all of your sorry asses.
Heavy: Little man should put sock in mouth.
Scout: Yeah, what Heavy said.
Later, everyone showered and dressed had gone to the rec room for breakfast. Pyro showered privately, due to it wanting to be a secret. Today's breakfast was Scout's.
Scout: Don't worry guys, it's just cereal. Muscle Kool cereal says it's packed with energy.
Spy: Does it also say it is made by Mann Co.?
Scout: Uh… yeah.
Everyone groaned. Even the recruits had heard of the company Mann Co. was, but the didn't have a chose in the matter, so they hurriedly ate and left for the garage. They piled into a van, Sniper driving, and toke of for the mission.
Decoy: So, what is the mission for today?
Engineer: Well, we're on our way to 2Fort, since our last mission didn't give us enough Intel on the BLUs. The basics are that we must defend our Intel, while trying to take the enemy's Intel.
Strategist: Hm, simple enough. I was studying this land last night so we should win.
Demo: Ey! Hopefully lass.
The van stopped at 2Fort, which wasn't all the recruits thought it would be. It was a barn structure and a concrete structure, separated by a body of water and a bridge connecting the two. The twelve walked into their base and into respawn and resupply. Each had a locker with various equipment that they grabbed. Scientist had asked in advance to have his own equipment made, which was granted. He had his Laser Pistol Mk.V, with some special bombs and a flask to smash over his enemy's heads. Strategist was provided a series of maps as a PDA, where she would point out where defense is needed. She also had a Shotgun, some personal bear traps, and a ruler she broke for more lethality. Decoy was provided a nail gun, with some smoke bombs and a long katana to slice and dice.
Administrator: Mission begins in 60 seconds.
The three recruits were nervous. What if they caused them to lose or if they died? They never worried about death until now. Engineer and Scout saw their nervousness and went over to talk to them.
Administrator: Mission begins in 30 seconds.
Scout: Yo, what's up guys?
Scientist: Oh, hey. I guess we're all worried about the mission. I mean, it's our first one. What if we… die?
Engineer: Oh don't worry, me and other things have got your backs. Besides, death is the last thing you partners should worry about.
Administrator: Mission begins in 10 seconds.
Everyone got into position, eager to get out and battle.
Administrator: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Go!
When Scientist ran out of spawn, he followed Soldier and Pyro to the front of the base. When he got outside, the chaos had already begun. Rockets and grenades flew everywhere, making the three run for cover behind some crates.
Soldier: So, maggot, what do we do?!
Scientist: What?
Soldier: You're the offensive guy! Now get us out to the enemy, private!
Scientist looked up from the crates. He saw an oncoming BLU Heavy and Medic run across the bridge. This is where he got an idea.
Scientist: Soldier, use your rocket launcher to kill the Medic.
Soldier: Roger that!
Soldier hopped over the crates and let lose three rockets at the advancing duo. The Medic froze with fear at the sudden jump, which killed the man.
BLU Heavy: Oh, No! Doc!
Scientist: Pyro, go barbecue his ass!
Pyro eagerly jumped over the crates, surprising the BLU Heavy. He tried to spin up his gun up, but the firebug got to him first, setting him on fire, then unloading a series of shotgun rounds into him, killing him off.
Pyro: YPPPH! Buppphles!
Scientist: Alright you two, let's advance.
Scientist had gotten up from behind the crates when a gunshot range out. Soldier and Pyro turned to see Scientist fall to the ground, a hole right in his head. Another gunshot rang out, followed by Sniper yelling.
Sniper: You big head wankers!
Soldier: The private had to learn some how.
Pyro: Mpph.
The two ran to the BLU base and waited for Scientist to respawn so the could advance.
Strategist was directing where Engineer should set up his machines, when Scientist walked out of spawn, a look of shock on his face.
Engineer: Well, looks like you died and respawned. Welcome back!
Strategist: Wait, Scientist, you died?!
Scientist: All I remember is that I heard a gunshot, then darkness. I fumbled around in there before I saw light moving fast towards me. Then I woke up in a room in spawn.
Engineer: That's respawn for ya. None of us know how it works. Though, I fix it on a regular basis. You should go out with Decoy and Medic. They are going over to the base right now.
Scientist nodded and ran up to meet with Decoy and Medic as the went over to the base.
Strategist: Now I know not to fear death.
Engineer: Yep! Now, where should I put my sentry?
Strategist: Hmmmmm… I say here, where the hallways to the intel meet. It gives a chance for a two way attack to be stopped, while providing defense for the intel.
Engineer: I like it. Wish me luck!
Engineer grabbed a tool box Sentry and headed down to the staircases. Strategist went down to the first floor to set some bear traps, when a BLU Scout ran up and shot her. She stumbled back, pained by the shot.
BLU Scout: Unlike your Scout, I don't run my mouth.
Strategist: Yes, but you aren't that smart, love.
With that, Strategist tossed out a bear trap that landed and snapped on the BLU Scout's leg. Demo had just ran out of spawn and saw the issue. He brought out his Scottish Resistance and unloaded five sticky bombs on the ground around the BLU Scout.
BLU Scout: Aw crap.
The bombs exploded, causing the Scout to be blown up, followed by a wild laugh by Demo. Strategist looked surprised at the action.
Demo: Let that be a lesson to yeh, yeh blockhead!
Strategist: Um...thank you Demo. I was a goner if I didn't have those traps.
Demo: Yer welcome lass. You are part of the team, after all. Now, where should I lay stickies?
Strategist guided Demo to various entrances in the base, where he laid down some stickies to explode when the time came.
Decoy, Scientist and Medic ran across the bridge to BLU base, where Soldier and Pyro were fighting of a BLU Demo and BLU Pyro.
Soldier: It's about time you maggots get here! We're under fire!
Decoy: Leave it to me.
Decoy then ran out from behind the corner, soaking up the explosives and fire. The BLUs were astonished by the Decoy's resistance to their weapons. She ran at them, with her nail gun aimed and shot the two, wounding them a good deal. Just as she ran by, the others ran out and killed the BLU Demo and Pyro.
Medic: Decoy's damage resistance is better than I expected.
Soldier: Yeah. That doesn't change the fact that she's a lady.
Scientist: Come on you guys, let's get to the intel.
The group ran to the courtyard and down the stairs to the intel. As soon as they got to the connecting hallways, they saw Decoy wounded on the ground. Medic ran over and healed her up.
Scientist: Decoy! What happened?
Decoy: There is a BLU sentry in there, with a Heavy as well.
Pyro: Whhh npppm whhp?
Scientist: Hmmm. Medic, is your charge ready?
Medic: Nein, not even close.
Spy: Perhaps I could help.
Spy appeared in front of the group, surprising them.
Scientist: Spy, can you destroy the sentry in there?
Spy: Can I? Dear doctor, of course.
He then reached into his coat and pulled out his disguise kit. he disguised as a Pyro and ran into the room.
BLU Engineer: Wow, these things are advanced.
BLU Heavy: Yeah, surprised that they haven't released the blueprints yet.
Just then, Spy/Pyro ran in yelling in the fake muffled voice.
Spy/Pyro: HPPPH! IMNCPPPHN!
BLU Engineer: What!? We got trouble!
The two BLUs got up and pointed weapons at the door. Spy saw the chance and put a sapper on the sentry. It shorted and buzzed as the Sentry was damaged.
BLU Engineer: What? A SPY!
The BLU ran over to kill Spy, but Soldier, Medic, and Decoy ran in and shot him dead. The BLU Heavy ran out the hallway to avoid the three REDs, but saw Scientist and Pyro. He spun up and shot at Pyro, remembering what it had done to him. Pyro took a lot of bullets, but Scientist pulled it to the side. He then pulled out a sphere with a red liquid inside. He threw it down on the ground and it broke and shattered. The red liquid became gaseous, which started to heal Pyro. Scientist then charged up his Laser Pistol and let a shot out at the BLU Heavy. The shot hit and knocked him back, which gave Pyro a chance to run and slam it's Maul into the BLU's skull.
Pyro: Thhnk ymp Scimphst!
Scientist: You're welcome Pyro. We make a good team!
Pyro nodded in agreement. Then, a pained scream rang out, with Scout running down the stairs.
Scout: Hey, I'll get the Intel back to the base in no time.
Scientist: Good, get it back, quickly.
Scout nodded and ran to grab the Intel. Everyone ran back out to the base to cap and win afterwards.
Administrator: Victory!
Everyone was celebrating the victory in spawn, happy that the new recruits had managed to pull off a good victory for them. Unknowingly, a ninja spied on the mercs through the window, gathering any information on them to report back to their leader. This info was to hopefully finish these mercenaries and kidnap Decoy.
