Chompking55: On the dot, mac. That however, is for a later chapter. Thanks for liking it so far.

ripntear045771: Yeah, just realized how much I make Scientist win his little arguments/fights with Scout. I'll be sure to make Scout win some from now on. Thanks for pointing it out.

Chapter 13: INTRUDER ALERT!

Place: RED Base

Current setup: Demo, Decoy, Strategist, Sniper, Spy, Scout

Time: Night 9:41 P.M.

2 weeks after Brazil mission

Tired from a long match at Coldfront, the six REDs shuffled into the base, thankful for the win.

Scout: I know I got the last point, I won it for us. No need to thank me.

Spy: Oh please. After I killed the labourer. I should be credited for this win.

Decoy: The hard hatted one was distracted by me. I am the one who should be credited.

Sniper: Will you blokes just pipe down!?

The three grow silent, surprised by the bushman's sudden outburst.

Sniper: *Grumble* I'm goin' to moi van. Night, lads.

Sniper walked off towards his beat up van and climbed inside. The others entered the base and continued towards the locker room to change for the night.

Demo: Oh, I could sleep like the dead.

Spy: You already do… every battle with that vile alcohol.

Demo nodded in agreement and turned to take off his blast coat. They all changed into their nightwear and headed off to bed. Unknown to them, an enemy lurked outside the base, ready for their mission.

Time: 1:37 A.M.

Intercom: INTRUDER ALERT! UNKNOWN PERSON IN THE BASE!

Decoy lurched up from her sleep, surprised from the sudden loud voice over the intercoms. Flashing red lights circled around her room as a siren rang out. Grudgingly, Decoy got up and headed towards the security room, where signs of different possible outcomes are on the wall. Three are flashing, "Unknown", "Person", and "In Base". Everyone was there, in some form of pajamas and sleep still in their eyes.

Decoy: What has happened?

Spy: Obviously, we have an intruder here.

Strategist: Is there anything on the cameras?

Scout: Nah, Checked them a bazillion times.

Demo: Alright lads and lasses, ye know what has to happen know?

The others looked at Scout, sleep still in his eyes. He looks at his teammates, knowing what they're thinking.

Scout: NO! Not the decoy plan again! I got sent through respawn twice the last time!

Demo: No, Scoot. We split up to find the intruder!

Spy: Hmmm… Good plan Demoman. I say you and Scout, Sniper and Strategist and Decoy and I so we are not jumped so easily. We search the base and come back here if we find nothing. Understood?

They all nodded and went off to different part of the base, to search the areas the intruder may be.

Sniper and Strategist walked around the science labs and workshops in the base's basement. Sniper was just in his cargo pants while Strategist was in a night dress, the former brandishing his Bushwacka and the latter brandishing her Fighter's Flight.

Sniper: The last time this thing happened the bloody spook snuck in and backstabbed me while i was snoipin'. Gave me a scar on the cheek.

Strategist: Hm… We can rule out Spy since he's on our team. Maybe someone from BLU?

Sniper: Nah, cameras would've seen the BLU and put it through security.

Looking into the Medical Bay, the two turned on the lights to search the lab. Suddenly, the sound of scraping could be heard in the lab. The two look around, then up, only to see a dark shape quickly drop from the ceiling and run for the door. The two ran after the shape, but it vanished before they could even walk out the door.

Strategist: Was…. that what….I thought it was?

Sniper: Don't know. C'mon, let's search the other areas. Thing's probably gone by now.

The two searched the other labs, but came up with nothing. Heading back to the security room, both feel the weight of eye on them as they walked away from the basement.

With Demo holding his Eyelander and in stickybomb boxers, while Scout in an undershirt and stripped boxers holding his Winger, the two searched the rec room and sleeping areas for any suspicious activity.

Scout: Ey, Demo. Ya ever feel like you're being… watched?

Demo: Oh ya, lad. All the time. More often than not it's just a wee critter.

Scout: I don't know, Cyclops. It doesn't feel like it's an animal.

Demo: Ah, yer just being paranoid from the last alert. Ye can run and hide in yer bed if ya want ta, tiny man.

Scout didn't want to remember how Spy got into the base and killed him, then locked the Respawn door so no one could stop him from getting the intel. As the two were finished looking around the rec room, Demo caught something from the corner of his good eye. Behind the couch was a moving shape, not there before. Demo signaled Scout towards the shape. They slowly approached the couch, ready to jump on the shape.

Demo: FREEDOM!

Demo jumped at the shape, swinging his Eyelander towards what looked like a head. The shape was too quick for Demo's sword, dodging it and hopping over the couch, running towards the door.

Scout: Hey, Where do ya think you're going!?

Scout shot his Winger at the shape, hitting it a few time as it dashed out the door. Scout ran after the shape, down some halls before stopping, realizing it disappeared.

Scout: What the…?

Demo: Scoot!

Demo came running up towards his teammate, a look of confusion on his face.

Demo: Ya don't think that was some sort of ghost, do ya?

Scout: I don't know, Rummy. Whatever it was, seemes to have vanished.

Demo: Bah, we're in it over our heads.

Eyelander: Heeeeaaaaadddsss!

Demo: Quiet you!

Demo and Scout walked out of the hall towards the security room, where they hoped the "spectre" wasn't.

Spy, in his balaclava and silk pajamas, took the lead with his L'Etranger and Big Earner, while Decoy, in some sweatpants and a tank top, took the rear with her Nail Gun. The two were searching the outer perimeter, which were the storage sheds, the plants and the Garage. The two were on there way back to the Garage, when a shape dashed out of the base, almost falling over the steps, but kneeling down by the bushes. Decoy and Spy saw this and ran over to the shape, in hopes to intercept it and…. do whatever comes to mind with it.

Spy: Excuse me, mon ami! You are currently trespassing on private property. Please leave or we'll have to deal with you the hard way.

The shape took notice of the two approaching it. It got up and ran at them, tackling Spy and knocking him back.

Spy: Mère de Dieu!

Decoy: Spy! *turns to shape* あなたは寛容な人! (You insolent person!)

Shape: ヤングワン。私はあなたのために来た. (Young one. I have come for you.)

Decoy was surprised that the shape knew japanese. She didn't have time to think further, as the shape started running at her. Decoy dodged the oncoming shape, causing it to stumble from not hitting anything. Decoy ran at the shape, ready to fight it. As she leapt for it, the shape grabbed her in midair and threw her into the base wall. The shape approached the dazed Decoy, wielding what looked like a sword.

Shape: あなたは家に帰り、若い人に帰るでしょう。 一族はあなたを待っていました。(You will come back home, young one. The clan has been waiting for you.)

Decoy realized what this shape was. Annoyed, Decoy lashed out at the shape, kicking it back a few feet and dazing it.

Shape: ニースは試してみてください、若いですが、(Nice try, young one, but you will-)

Suddenly, the shape feel over, silent. Standing behind the shape was Spy, flicking a lighter over a fresh cigarette.

Decoy: What did you do to him? Did you kill him!?

Spy: No, I simply gave him a nerve pinch I learned a few years ago. So, who is this that wanted to take you? I understand Japanese.

Decoy kneeled down to the shape, grabbing at a mask and pulling it off, which confirmed her suspicion. An out cold Fanng member was laying on the ground in front of them.

Decoy: Great, my family knows of my where abouts.

Spy: Not for long, they won't.

Decoy: What do you mean Spy?! We are not going to kill everyone that comes through here are we?

Spy: No, we'll simply send a package to throw off your trail.

Spy grabbed the unconscious body, threw it over his shoulder and headed back to the security room, followed by an intrigued Decoy.

In a Japanese dining hall, the Fanng clan was around the table, eating supper, when a guard came barging in.

Guard: マスター、贈り物が私たちのために来た！(Master, a gift has come for us!)

The leader, Master Fanng, stood and spoke to the guard.

Master Fanng: それを私に持ってきてください。(Bring it to me.)

The guard ran out the door, coming back with a large crate. Master Fanng looked at the crate, surprised to see a modern thing delivered to their secret home. The crate started to move and thud, also surprising Master Fanng.

Master Fanng: 一族！ トラブル！(Clan! Trouble!)

The members formed into a group, ready to attack whatever was in the crate. Then, the crate's top burst open. Master Fanng got up and approached the crate, looking in to find the member he sent to retrieve Decoy. He was shirtless, with the smell of strong alcohol was on him like he was bathed in it. He was sitting in the crate, looking up at Master Fanng in terror, with a piece of paper in his hand. Master Fanng took the paper and read it.

Schedule for Team Fortress to be moved to Eastern coast of United States over new land dispute soon. More details to be sent out.

Master Fanng: うーん...男よ、ヤングワンを連れて帰るよ。 彼女は私たちに対して犯罪を支払わなければなりません。(Hmmm... Men, I will send you to bring Young One back. She must pay for her crimes against us.)

Well, the Fanngs have been thrown off Decoy's trail, but for how long? The next chapter will deal with Scientist's and Medic's Idea, so stay tuned!
