"Fucking hell, how did I get here?"

Stella-X vision cleared as she found herself in front of BLU's main spawn looking straight up to a hole in the ceiling.

"Well, that answers that," she winced as she got up into a sitting position. She looked down to find her torso badly cut up and bleeding, it's surprising she didn't bleed to death yet. She looked to her right and found her minigun, scratched up for being used as a shield and the ammo belt torn. As she stood up, she reattached the ammo belt to the minigun and slung it over her back.

"I hope Debbie's all right," she said as she ran towards the battlements. She saw K-9 and some other mercs fighting the robot across on the RED side. Despite her condition, she leapt towards the battle to help out the German Shepard.

Debbie-X was currently doing some emergency repairs on Delta after the two were thrown into the RED courtyard. The robot did a number on the three of them, and they had clearly underestimated how powerful it was. As she quickly fixed some wires, she heard someone falling towards them. She grabbed Delta and rolled out of the way just as Stella-X crashed landed in the courtyard.

"Ow…I think I felt that," Stella-X said into the dirt.

Debbie motioned to Delta and the robot ran out back into the battle, and went over to her sister. She started to heal her as she pulled her face out of the dirt.

"You ok?" she asked.

"Yeah, I am," said Stella-X. "Found anything that can help us to defeat this thing?"

"Not really," Debbie replied. "All we know is that it can regenerate like Delta, is extremely proficient in combat, and also is really cocky,"

"Woop de do," Stella-X said as she took the minigun off her back. "Hey, have you seen the twins around? I didn't see them around the battle,"

"I haven't," said Debbie-X as she finished healing Stella-X. "But I'm sure they're ok, you know them,"

The mercs did not like where this battle was going. They couldn't do much against the robot considering it shrugged off anything they threw at it, and it easily killed them whenever it had the chance. To make matters worse, the new mercs were not even making a dent in the thing, and it was able to easily defeat them in a heartbeat.

"CHARGE NOW DOCTOR!" shouted BLU Heavy. "EEEYYAHHHHHH!"

The two charged the robot as it was occupied with K-9, who wasn't looking so good. BLU Heavy let a hail of bullets rain down on the robot, but each pinged off its armor. Heck, the robot didn't even pay attention to the pair as it sliced through K-9's skin and into his body.

The German Shepard was drenched in sweat, blood, and cuts as he wildly swiped at the robot, which dodged the claws. He roared as he blindly charged the machine only to receive two more slashes to his chest. The anthro. collapsed to the ground and was delirious, the wounds were taking their toll yet again on him. He would've fallen right there and now, unless it was for Delta and Stella-X, who quickly intervened.

"Get away from our dog, rustbucket!" she shouted as the Vulcan shouted with bullets.

The bullets penetrated the robot, but it didn't seem to faze it as it deflected every blow Delta swung at it.

"Don't you see this fighting is pointless?" it said as metal clashed with metal. "You cannot beat me,"

"We'll see about that," said Debbie-X as she started healing K-9 as she landed.

Tai and Tia reappeared in the BLU sewers unharmed. Tai collapsed into a sitting position and dropped her shotgun her breathing was labored. Though they don't show it, teleporting too much can quickly tire out the twins and that was the feeling Tai had right now. She looked over to Tia and decided to wake her up. She first decided to flick her nose, then poking her, and shooting her shotgun. When that didn't work she resorted to slapping the hell out of her.

SLAP!

"OW!"

That woke her up.

"What was that for?" Tia said as she rubbed her cheek.

"For sleeping like a rock during a battle," Tai said. "I'm so glad I wasn't stabbed,"

"Oh sorry," she looked around. "Where is everyone else? Did we win?"

"Nope, still fighting that monstrosity of a machine, and believe me our asses are being handed to us,"

"Mmh,"

The twins sat in silence as the sounds of battle echoed from above.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" asked Tia.

"No," said Tai. "Unless we can "magically" turn into our other selves, I doubt we can do anything to help out,"

BOOM!

An explosion echoed throughout the sewers followed by a scream of a Soldier.

The twins sat and waited for an unknown amount of time until the sounds of battle abruptly stopped.

"I don't like the sound of that," said Tia as she got out her revolvers.

"Sound of what?" asked Tai as she took of her headphones.

"The noise stopped," she said. "That either means we won, or it won,"

"Investigate?"

"Yup,"

The twins got up and made their way into the BLU base. They cautiously snuck to the main two doors to the BLU base and peeked out a door.

"Hey," whispered Tai. "Why are we looking out the same door?"

"I don't know," Tia whispered back. "I was following you,"

The two looked out and saw the carnage. The bodies of the mercs lay in pieces around the bridge areas; the bridge and battlements were in shambles, but still holding up. But what startled the two the most was the sight of their battered sisters.

Stella-X was lying face down on the ground, her minigun nowhere in sight, and a pool of blood slowly making its way to the waterless canal. Debbie-X lied partially inside a hole that was in a wall of RED base. Delta was nowhere to be seen, and K-9 was slumped against the chain-link fence.

"Are they…" Tia chocked out.

"I don't know," said Tai.

Tia started to walk out to check on their sisters when Tai grabbed her shirt.

"Hey!"

"Don't just walk out there, we don't know where the robot is,"

"I think we do," said Tia as gulped.

Tai raised an eyebrow before noticing an unfamiliar presence behind her.

"It's behind me right?"

Tia nodded furiously.

"Well crap,"

Tai grabbed Tia and dropped to the ground just before the robot took off her head. The twins opened fire on the robot, but neither was seriously harming it. The robot slowly walked to them, swinging its swords slowly in a circle in each hand. The twins were able to get to their feet and tried to gain some distance from the robot by running across the bridge.

Only to run smack dab right into the robot.

"Ow," said Tai as she rubbed her head. "Did not see that coming,"

"Me neither," said Tia. "I-woah!" she teleported a couple feet back in order to avoid a slash. "Tai, duck!"

Tai dropped to the ground in order to avoid another fatal swing; she blasted it again before teleporting next to her sister.

"Any ideas?" Tai asked as she reloaded.

"I was hoping you had," Tia said as she fired upon the advancing robot.

Shot after shot pinged off the robot's armor.

"Whoever built this thing is going to get a swift kick to the family jewels," said Tai.

"What if it's a woman?"

"Then I'm going to bitch slap the fuck outta her,"

Tia rolled her eyes as she fired yet another shot at the robot. Suddenly Tia tripped on an uneven board on the bridge and fell on her back.

"TIA!" shouted Tai. "Get up!"

"I know I know!" she said as she scrambled to get up. But the robot wasn't making it easy for her. It brought the sword down into the boards, narrowly missing her legs. She was about to get up when one of the robot's swords caught her shirt.

"Shit!" she said as she saw the blade coming towards her.

But it never came.

Tia opened her eyes to find someone standing in front of her holding the blade in-between his or her hands. She could tell the figure was female from the back, but wasn't sure who it was. The figure delivered a kick and a punch to the robot, sending it sliding to the other side of the bridge.

She had on a red camo vest over a black shirt. She had khaki colored shorts, and brown colored combat boots on. Her brown hair flowed freely under a brown colored combat helmet, which didn't cover her eyes, and one was glowing an eerie green. On her back was an M202 FLASH, a four-cylinder rocket launcher that looks similar to the Black Box.

The figure pulled the sword that held Tia to the ground.

"I'm keeping this you know that?" she said to the robot, who responded by producing a large broadsword.

"Tai?" Tia asked.

Tai-X grinned back. "You got that right sis," she said. "Now stand back, things are about to heat up,"

Tia scrambled and ran back towards the BLU base's main entrance and ducked behind the doorway. As she did, Tai-X took off the rocket launcher off her back and hefted it onto her shoulder. She fired off one rocket at the robot and hit it straight on, the explosion created a small mushroom cloud that engulfed the robot. Not surprisingly, the robot survived the explosion and was now racing towards her.

"Persistent ain't yah," she whispered as she let another rocket loose.

The mercs who escaped the initial massacre were currently watching the battle from the safety of the RED battlements, and could easily see what was going on the bridge, since the roof was blown off.

"Another rockethopping simpleton," BLU Sniper said as he watched Tai-X rocketjump over the charging robot. "Just what we need,"

"Your country didn't prepare you for the level of violence needed on this battlefield," said Soldier. "This woman is doing an exceptional job at being me!"

"At least she isn't as loud as he is, bushman," said Spy.

The three were interrupted by four large and loud explosions, which occurred right in front of them, leaving the three slightly charred.

"Merde,"

"So you were saying spook?" said BLU Sniper as he dusted off the ash on himself.

"I meant her talking as much as him," he tried to remove the cigarette from his mouth, but found it was completely burnt away. He sighed as he got out another one.

Meanwhile the other mercs were able to pull the unconscious buildings away from the heat of battle and into the safety of the RED base. They turned back into their normal forms and Medic started to evaluate them and the extent of their injuries.

"They sure took a beating," the German said. "I'm surprised they survived that long against that thing,"

"Well for one they are not regular humans," said Engi.

"Hmm, you are right about that," said Medic as he started to heal Stella. "I wished we could do more to help them,"

"Yeah, me too, doc" Engi said as he looked at Debbie. "Wish we could,"

"Pyro please be careful around K-9 will you?" said the doctor. "He's still hurt,"

"Mppfmmmmm?" the pyromaniac was currently holding the wounded German Shepard in a loving embrace.

"You can hug him later, Pyro," said Engi. "Right now he needs to rest,"

"Mmmpk," Pyro gently put K-9 down and walked over to the others, who were watching the battle from the doorway of RED base.

Debbie groaned as she started to come to, gaining the attention of the two mercs.

"Fucking hell, that was not a pleasant experience," she said as she rubbed a hand over her face.

"You ok?" Engi asked as he kneeled down to her.

"I'm ok…how's the others doing?"

"They're faring well,"

The two sat in silence.

"We got pretty beat huh?" she said with a grin after a while.

"Not as bad as we did," said Engi. "At least you guys could stand up to one of those hits,"

Before Debbie could respond another explosion rocked the base.

"Is that Soldier or Demo out there?" she asked.

"Ah, no…"

"Then who is out there?"

"BLOW YAH TO PIECES!" Tai-X shouted from outside as yet another explosion rocked the base.

"Was that Tai?" Debbie asked, a hint of worry in her voice.

"Yes,"

"Shit! We gotta help her!" she said with a sense of urgency. She tried to get up only to get stopped by Engi.

"Debbie, I think Tai can handle it on her own," he said.

"But Engi, that thing easily took on the four of us," she said. "There is no way she can handle this on her own,"

"Debbie, you three are hurt," Engi said. "If you go out now you would be more of a hindrance rather than an aid. Just have some faith that she can do it,"

She sighed as she slumped against the wall.

"Is Tia ok?" she asked.

Engi looked at her with confusion.

"You do know where Tia is right?"

"No," the Texan said. "But I think she's safe,"

"She is," said Sniper as he walked up to the two. "Saw the Sheila on the BLU side watching the same battle, don't get all worked up about your sisters, they seem tough," he walked away from the two to join the others.

"I really hope this ends soon," Debbie said.

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE ALREADY?" Tai-X shouted as another rocket hit the robot. Anything she threw at the robot, whether it is rockets, punches, or kicks, nothing was affecting the robot. She dodged a swing as she reloaded and responded with a flurry of kicks to the robot.

The robot responded by charging forward and slamming the sword down, it would've killed her if she didn't teleport out of the way. She teleported a few more times to avoid more swings before getting far enough away to take to the skies again.

This time the robot took out the sniper rifle again and started to shoot Tai-X out of the sky. However, Tai-X wasn't as mobile as she was on the ground and was unable to avoid the shots. She took multiple hits to her body and cratered on the ground.

Tia gasped as she watched her sister crash land in front of BLU base. She wanted to do something to help her, but something kept her frozen to the spot she was standing.

"Tai…please get up," she said as the robot walked closer to her.

The mercs were also in shock as well, with their mouths wide open.

"WHAT ARE YOU BLOKES JUST STANDING THERE?" Sniper shouted. "SHOOT THE BLOODY ROBOT!"

The robot immediately turned and shot Sniper, exploding the upper half of his body, and leaving a bloody mess around the mercs standing around him.

"You got blood on my suit," whispered Spy.

The robot continued to pick on each visible merc exploding them with each burst of its rifle.

"Oh I am so going to KILL that thing once I get my hands on it," said Stella as she moved out of the way as a shot passed her.

"Fucking hell," said Debbie. "How are we supposed to get to Tai-X under this intense fire?"

"Sewers," said BLU Sniper as he fired off a wild shot. "That will get yah to the other side without being seen,"

"No that would take too long," she said. "Only Tia can get to her at this rate,"

"Well she better hurry up," the Sniper said as Heavy's head exploded. "We're losing men fast,"

Tia was unsure what to do. She didn't want to be around the robot again after she almost died after her last encounter with it. Part of her hoped that Tai-X would get up and make it to safety, but something was telling her she wasn't getting up anytime soon. Her eyes looked back and forward from the mercs to her twin. She gulped as she took a step forward.

But instead took one step back.

She mentally cursed herself for her hesitation. Why was she always hesitant to go into battle? None of her sisters had a problem with this, even Debbie, who doesn't even like killing, can jump into battle without hesitation. The problem can be linked to the fact she was an entrance Teleporter when she was a building. The entrance always stayed back at spawn and didn't see any action unless the enemy was able to get to the spawn or a Spy sapped the Teleporter. The exit on the other hand was much close to combat and could kill enemies with the deadly Telefrag.

"Why can't I fucking do this?" she growled as she kicked the dirt on the ground. She let out a sigh and calmed herself. "Ok, Tia," she said. "You can do this: just run out, grab your twin, and teleport right out. Easy as pie,"

She peeked out the door to find the robot still shooting the mercs at the RED base. She slowly crept out into the open and made her way to her sister. She got over to her and draped Tai-X's arm over her shoulder.

"Don't worry sis," she said. "We're getting out of-eep!"

Tia looked up to find the barrel of the rifle aimed straight at her.

"Oh I can't watch," said Stella as she pulled her hat over her eyes.

"Idiot! Go help her!" Debbie shouted.

Tia was shaking in her boots, literally. She completely shut down as soon as she saw the rifle barrel mere inches from her face. Her mind was screaming at her to move out of the way, but her body wasn't responding to her commands.

"Uh, uh, uh, uh," she sputtered. "Uh, uh, uh…"

"Go dammit!" shouted Debbie.

"Ok! Jeez!" said Stella as she hurried out. "I'M COMING TIA!"

But as soon as Stella reached the bridge, the robot pulled the trigger.

"NOOOOOOO!" everyone screamed.

However when the smoke cleared, a wooden cutout of a cow was in place where the two were, with a noticeable hole in the cow's body.

Everyone was surprised at this sudden turn of events, even the robot acted surprised.

"W-w-where did they go?" Debbie asked after she found her voice.

"Right behind you,"

The group turned to find a female clad in a red ninja outfit. It covered her entire body except for her hands and eyes. She wore black, fingerless gloves, and black sneakers. She wore a long black scarf around her neck. Her eyes glowed purple. On her back was a katana in its sheath. The figure carefully laid Tai-X down on the ground.

"Tia?!"

"Keep her safe will you, or else…" Tia-X said as she poofed away.

"Ooh, this is going to be good!" said Medic.

Tia-X reappeared behind the robot and charged at it with a kunai. And as expected, it turned to deflect the small blade with its broadsword. She let out a storm of punches that knocked the robot back into the BLU base before throwing a hail of kunai after it.

The kunais penetrated the robot's armor and embedded themselves inside the building, leaving a lot of holes within the robot. The robot got up and the holes within the armor started to disappear. It picked up its sword and charged headlong to Tia-X.

Tia-X easily sidestepped each swing before catching the sword in-between her hands. She shattered the blade in half before following up with a flying kick to the robot's chest, sending it flying backwards. She teleported behind it and delivered a punch to the back of the robot and sending it forward.

She teleported in front of it and quickly took out her katana, the silver blade glistening in the sunlight. She held it in one hand as the robot flew at her. The robot readied a punch as it got closer and closer.

Time slowed as the metal fist came towards Tia-X's face. She closed her eyes as she swung the katana around and brought it in front of her in one fluid motion.

There was a pause as everyone watched in suspense.

It had looked like the robot had flown right through Tia-X and now both were looking in opposite directions.

Only the sound of breathing was heard as tension built.

Then it happened.

The left side of the robot slowly fell to the ground followed by its right half. Sparks emitted from its exposed wires.

The mercs thought it would reform but to their surprise, it didn't.

Tia-X slowly put back the katana as the two halves of the robot exploded into a fireball.

Silence.

"That's it! We win! You've done it, gentlemen!" the Administrator shouted. "That was an exceptional victory!"

"Hey that wasn't so bad was it guys?" Tia-X absent mindedly said.

"Wasn't so bad?" said BLU Scout. "Did you not-" he was quickly quieted by BLU Engi's hand.

"TIA!"

Tia-X was quickly tackled into a hug by Tai-X.

"Ha ha! You did it sis!" she said. "I knew you could do it,"

"Yeah, I guess I did," Tia-X replied. "You're not hurt are you?"

"Nah I'm fine, but you were so awesome out there! I didn't know you had that inside you,"

"Well…it was nothing really," she beamed.

Meanwhile

The Administrator chuckled to herself. Those girls had proven themselves once again to overcome impossible odds.

"So gentlemen…" she said as she turned to face the men. But was surprised to find them not there.

"Hmph, I guess they couldn't stand the shame of losing," she said as she turned back. "I know how that feels,"

The two men were in fact standing at a distance from 2Fort watching the entire thing. They spied on the mercs through binoculars.

"There's been a change in plans," one said. "Take the one that calls herself Tia,"
