A BLU Haired Medic - Chapter 12
"Mission begins in 5 minutes…"
Ami hurried into the supply room, doors shutting close behind her. The rest of the team had already gathered inside before her, most of them too busy with arming themselves to notice the young woman passing through. A clock, placed over the exit to the battlefield, ticked loudly, the minute hand moving closer and closer to the top.
"Mein pupil, over here!" Medic called out, Ami seeing the Medic beckoning her over towards the supply closet. Ami made her way to the supply closet and after reaching the Medic, the older German held out a strange mechanical backpack with a blue colored cross on the back. "Here, mein pupil, zis vill be ze most important zing you vill ever use during your time here."
Medic then helped Ami to put on the Medipack, Ami feeling uncomfortable as the Medic tightened the straps around her shoulders.
"I didn't realize the Medipack was this heavy, Medic-Sensei…" Ami remarked, the Medic shrugging.
"You'll get used to it, mein pupil. Now hold still for a bit vhile I attach ze Medigun…" Medic replied, the Medic then taking a medigun from the supply closet and securely attached it to Ami's medipack.
"Here… hold zis vhile I grab ze rest of your equipment…" Medic said, Ami taking hold of the Medigun, Ami trying to get used to the additional weight while Medic again looked through the supply closet, this time removing a bonesaw and Syringe Gun.
"Alright, mein pupil, vhy don't you put your Medigun avay so zat I can hand you ze rest of ze equipment?"
Ami looked at the Medic for a few seconds and then on to her persons. "But where should I put it, Sensei?"
Medic groaned again, "Your Medipack, it's for more zan just powering your Medigun! Zere is a compartment to hold ze Medigun. See?" The Medic then turned to his right side, pointing out the area in question. Ami, nodding, followed Medic's instructions and placed her Medigun away, the Medic then handing her a Bonesaw. "Here, zis vill be helpful if you ever come face to face vith vun of ze enemy, or if you ever run out of ammo. Zere is also an area on your belt vere you can hold ze bonesaw."
Attaching the bonesaw to her belt, Ami then recalled what Medic said. "Wait, run out of ammo, Sensei? Ammo for vha- I mean, what?"
"For zis…" Medic said, holding out the Syringe gun, Ami staring at it. "Ze Syringe Gun vill be very important out zere, you can trust me on zat." The Medic then held out the Syringe Gun to Ami, Ami slowly taking it into her hands, placing her hand around the trigger.
"Mission Begins in 2 minutes!" The Administrator shouted, the loudspeakers creaking for a few seconds afterward.
"Alright men, FILE FORTH!" Soldier shouted afterwards, the team quickly beginning to scramble into order as Soldier made his way to the front of the exit to the battlefield.
"You best not speak up, zis time, mein pupil, I zon't vant another incident…" Medic whispered to Ami, the young woman nodding in response as they both joined the team.
After a few seconds of waiting, the Soldier began pacing back and forth, silently examining everyone, his eyes staring at Ami every now and then before turning to another person.
"As you remember, men, we are here to protect our intelligence while we steal the enemy's. The fighting will be tough, and many lives will be spilled. But that does not mean we cannot win! WE WILL WIN! We will show these RED ladies how MEN fight! We will send them back to their mommies crying sweet tears of despair!"
Soldier turned away from the team for a moment before straightening himself out and pointing towards the exit, the clock again ticking down.
"Alert! Mission begins in 60 seconds!"
"You hear the Administrator, 60 seconds until we show those RED cowards REAL fighting!" The Soldier shouted. Then, in a single motion, the Soldier raised his hands high and at the top of his lungs, begin screaming, banging his chest. "Let's show them our WARFACE!"
The team, energized by Soldier's speech, began cheering as well.
"Mission Begins in 30 seconds!"
"Medic-sensei," Ami whispered, "Does Soldier-san do this every time before a battle?"
"Eh… don't vorry, at least he isn't chewing us out…" Medic replied.
"Mission Begins in 10 seconds!"
"Ami…" Medic whispered back.
"Hai, sensei?"
"Five"
"Never travel alone…"
"Three… Two… ONE!"
A loud siren blared throughout the base as the supply room gates raised open, the Soldier screaming at the top of his lungs, the BLU team rushing forward, their battle cries echoing throughout the battlefield. Ami stood in the supply room, almost stunned, but then, a RED Scout ran in front of the resupply room, the Scout turning and seeing Ami.
"A Gir-" The Scout began to say, but then, the Scout let out a loud, painful scream as an Arrow ripped into his head, the body collapsing instantly to the ground, blood oozing out from where the arrow entered and exited, the Scout's eyes blankly staring at Ami.
Ami stared at the corpse of the Scout, Ami's mouth agape. Ami nearly let her Syringe Gun drop to the ground, but only at the last moment did she tighten her grasp.
"Ha! Not so fast now, eh, ya twitchy hooligan!" BLU Sniper shouted, laughing sadistically, rushing up towards the corpse, seeing where he landed his arrow. "Ha. Got him right through the ears!" The Sniper then turned to Ami, seeing that she was still standing still in the resupply room. "Hey, Ami, stop standing around and help out! Come on!"
Sniper then quickly grabbed Ami's hand and dragged her out of the supply room, Ami still transfixed on the corpse, still in some degree of shock. Yet, once Ami lost sight of the corpse and finally reached the battlements, Ami couldn't help but stare.
Ami saw on the other side of the small stream the other Fort that she saw from a distance at the train station. Then, turning her attention to the center of the battlefield, Ami saw the Medic pointing a strange blue beam at the Heavy, the Russian man in fierce combat with a RED Soldier and Demoman.
"Hey, get yourself behind the barricade, Ami, before a Sniper shoots your head off!" Sniper shouted, harshly pushing Ami aside as he began to draw back his arrow to full force, the Sniper squinting before letting his arrow fly out. A second later, Ami heard another scream pierce her ears, Ami shutting her eyes, the scream being drowned out by the sounds of explosions and gunfire.
"Hey Ami, AMI!" The Sniper began snapping his fingers, Ami opening her eyes again. "Hey, what's wrong with ya? Now's not a time to be cowering in the corner! Now the time to get with the healing!" Ami then saw that Sniper's arm was bleeding.
"Hai, Sniper-san!" Ami said, startled at Sniper's command. Ami quickly reached for her Medigun and then pointed it at Sniper. "Um…"
"What now, Ami? I can't wait all day for healing!"
"How do you work this thing…?" Ami said, the Sniper groaning.
"Damn it, Ami! You just push the lever forward!" Sniper pointed out the lever on top of the Medigun, Ami then grasping hold of it and pushing it forward, the Medigun activating and attaching a blue beam to Sniper, the Sniper giving out a sigh of relief as the wound on Sniper's arm quickly stitched itself up.
Ami stared at where Sniper's wound used to be and then back to her Medigun, in complete awe at its ability to heal injuries with such ease.
"Wow…" Ami muttered, reflecting on her past, "I wish we had this when we fought Galaxia."
"What'dya mumbling about, Ami? No time to mumble in the middle of a fight! Now keep me healed while I deal with the enemy Sniper!" Sniper then drew back his arrow again, squinting before again sending his arrow out, Ami hearing another piercing scream, the Sniper then grinning. "Ha! THE BULLETS COME OUT OF THE SLIM END, MATE!" Sniper shouted out, letting out another laugh.
Ami continued watching Sniper, the Sniper becoming wilder with each scream that Ami heard, Ami uncomfortably counting up each kill her patient got.
"Ha! I'm the Angel of Death, baby, and any RED that comes in my sight will be struck down from the heavens with my arrows!" Sniper shouted, cackling evilly as he reached for another arrow. However, as Sniper reached back into his quiver, Sniper's overconfidence quickly changed to a look of realization.
"Ami… I think I just ran out of arrows…" Sniper remarked, a bright red dot appearing on Sniper's forehead. "Ah… Bugger…"
Before Ami could react, a loud, thunderous roar echoed throughout 2Fort, Ami's medigun beam quickly deactivating.
"Huh?" Ami tried again to push the lever forward, but the simply refused to budge no matter how hard she tried to push the lever. Ami then looked at the Sniper.
At first, Sniper seemed to look alright, as if nothing happened. Yet, the wall behind him was now covered with blood, blood that wasn't there before. Sniper then began to grimace in pain as he dropped his Huntsman, the Sniper quickly falling back, slumping against the wall.
"Sni…Sni…Sniper-san?" Ami said, the Sniper's body slumped down on the ground. Ami slowly began walking back, and then finally, without thinking, Ami began running.
Ami, without any second thought, continued running, try her best to run away from the battlefield, running as far away as she can, tears beginning to form in her eyes, her vision becoming blurry. As Ami continued to run, she tried to block out the noise around her, trying to block out all the screaming and gunfire that seemed to completely surround her.
Meanwhile, in the Intelligence room, BLU Engineer silently stood guard, his wrench in hand, eyes shifting quickly to both entrances. In the corner of his ear, Engineer heard footsteps rapidly approaching. Clenching tightly on his wrench, Engineer prepared himself to strike down the foe when-
"Miss Mizuno!?"
Engineer suddenly found Ami holding him tightly, the young blue haired woman weeping loudly. Caught in such a sudden embrace, Engineer dropped his wrench, feeling uncomfortable.
"Uh… uh… Miss Mizuno?" Engineer said again, the young woman continuing to cry, Engineer feeling her tears beginning to wet his shirt. Seeing that Ami refused to respond, Engineer, after some thinking, began to pat her back, trying to make the young woman feel better. "Come on Ami, why don't ya tell me what's wrong?"
Ami, feeling Engineer pat her back, slowly held back her tears, sniffling a bit as she looked to see Engineer, his smiling face calming Ami down a bit. Ami then looked around, not sure of where she was.
"Engineer-san, where are we?" Ami asked, the Engineer smiling a bit and giving Ami another pat on the back. Ami then realized that she was holding Engineer and gave a small blush as she let go, bowing down. "Gomennasai, Engineer-san…"
"Shinpai shinaide, Mizuno-san," Engineer said, laughing a bit as he picked up his wrench and then pointing at the intelligence briefcase set on the table. "We're in the Intelligence room, Miss Mizuno, and that's what we are protecting."
Ami then began looking around the room, seeing the wall computers and then looking at a Giant Map of the world on a giant monitor, with several blue colored points on it.
"What is that, Engineer-san?" Ami said, pointing at the monitor.
Engineer chuckled as he explained. "That there is the map of the world, Miss Mizuno. And each one of those lights represents a BLU base."
With that knowledge, Ami began scanning the monitor again and noticed there were no BLU marks on most of Asia. Even Japan was devoid of marks.
"So, why aren't there any points in the Asia region? Wouldn't those places be of great importance?" Ami asked, Engineer looking at the monitor as well.
Scratching his chin, Engineer mumbled a bit before finally reaching a conclusion. "Simple. There isn't any RED threat there. Why build a base when your enemy can't even set a foothold there! That's why nothing important happens in Asia. And to honest, especially Japan. I heard Japan's quite a boring place in terms of fighting… ya know, with it being owned by BLU and what not?"
"Hai…" Ami said, mumbling under her breath, "You don't know how wrong you are, Engineer-san…"
Engineer then turned back to Ami, "So, besides all this who owns what, tell me, Miss Mizuno, what brings you here? And why were you crying? There ain't much to cry about here."
Ami's face quickly became sullen as she remembered Sniper's dead corpse slumped on the wall, blood pooling beneath his body. Ami then turned to look at Engineer.
"Well Miss Mizuno? What's wrong? Come on! Spit it out!" Engineer asked, his voice less calming and more demanding.
"It's… Sniper-san…" Ami silently said, the Engineer confused by what she meant.
"What about Sniper? Did he throw one of his jars of p-" Engineer said, before being cut off by Ami.
"He's dead." Ami finished, tears slowly forming again in her eyes, the young woman trying her best not to cry again.
"Dead? What do you me de- Oh! I see what you mean now. I really guess they didn't tell you anything at all!" Engineer said, chuckling again, "Oh don't worry, Miss Mizuno, Sniper's alright, he's gonna re-"
A Loud beeping from Engineer's overall pocket interrupted, the Engineer quickly pulling out his PDA and gasping. "Spah sappin' mah sentry!" The Engineer quickly put his PDA back in his pocket as he adjusted his helmet. "Sorry, Miss Mizuno, I need to save my Sentry! I'll be right back!" Engineer then ran out of the intelligence room, running as fast as he could to save his building.
Ami slowly glanced back at Japan on the giant Monitor, her thoughts racing.
'Own the world? That can't be true… no, it can't be true. I know the future. There won't be anything of this suffering in the future, anything of this fighting, any of this private war…' Ami continued to think, when a voice interrupted her.
"Hey, Doc."
When Ami turned to see who was there, Ami gasped. Standing in the archway was Sniper, grinning and tipping his hat for Ami.
"Sni…Sni… Sniper-san! Your alive!" Ami said, and began running towards him.
"Yeah, I'm alive, Doc. I just had an encounter with an enemy Spy. Real tough fight, but I won in the end." Sniper replied, still grinning.
"Oh, I'm just glad you're okay, Sniper-san. But why do you keep calling me Doc? I'm not a trained doctor. Why don't you call me by my name, like earlier?"
"Oh? I didn't realize BLU hired such a dense bleu cheveux femme. Perhaps you've been spending too much time dyeing your hair?"
"Huh? I didn't realize you knew how to speak French, Sniper-san."
"Because he doesn't…" Sniper then pointed a revolver at Ami, his grin becoming even wider.
"Sni… Sni… Sniper-san?" Ami asked, the Sniper pulling the trigger.
Click. BANG!
The Sniper standing in the archway no longer was there, but instead, now stood a RED Spy, holding in his other hand a paper mask with the image of a sniper on it. Cackling loudly, Ami watched as the RED Spy walked towards the Intelligence briefcase. Ami attempted to walk forward to stop the Spy, but as soon as she took her first step, Ami felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Looking down, Ami saw blood slowly start to stain her coat.
"Alert! The enemy has taken our intelligence!" The Administrator's voice echoed throughout 2Fort.
The Spy then passed by Ami again, BLU's intelligence strapped on his back. The Spy then stopped and looked at Ami.
"Ha, I bid thee adieu, madam, and I hope that you won't hold this against me in the future…" The Spy grinned as he began laughing again, now running out of the intelligence room.
"Why…" Ami said weakly, her legs trembling. Falling to the floor, Ami felt the hard concrete stop her fall. Ami began to feel her heart beat slower, each beat weaker than before. "Usagi-chan…" Ami whispered, the young woman feeling her heart finally give out. "I'm… sorry…"
With a final gasp of air, Ami felt her vision finally give out, her pain finally ending.
... Yep. I killed Ami Mizuno.
YOU BASTARD!
