Chapter 4: A Real Texan

"Damn it, fellas." The Engineer growled.

The Scout gave him a puzzled face. "What's wrong, 'fraid to handle a frickin' rat?"

"It's not the rodent," The hardhat snapped. "It's the bolts in that thing!"

The batter tilted his head. The Spy sighed.

"Do you know what a Pokemon is?" He asked.

"Yeah, little fur balls that everyone wants to catch." The teen answered in a cocky tone.

The Spy rolled his eyes. "And they have good reason for that."

"They aren't just pets," The Engineer butted in. "They can also be used as hellhounds."

The Demoman raised an eyebrow. "I thought they're used for competition."

"Yeah," The Engineer replies. "But most of them actual have elemental powers. Pikachu has Electricity."

"Oh," The Scout whispered, lowering his head.

"And how do you plan on fighting a living battery?" The Demoman asked.

The Engineer shrugged. "Guess I'll just rely on bullets."

He selected his Frontier Justice, Golden Wrench, Pistol, and PDA. The doors in front of the team opened to reveal a teleporter of some sort, far more advanced than the Engi's. He stepped on it, transformed into a bright light, fading away. The team turned to face the screen again. The world was a literally a kingdom in the sky. Stone platforms lay on top of clouds, giving it a sort of arena look to it.

"STAGE: Skyworld." Droned a computerized voice.

On one side of the stage, a red-and-white ball bounced its way to the right side of the stage. On the other side, a toolbox fell out of the sky. As soon it land, it opened up, revealing one of the Engineer's teleporters.

"3!"

The sphere opened, a bright light escaping from it. It faded away, revealing Pikachu.

"2!"

The teleporter activated, summoning the Engineer. He tightened his grip on the Frontier Justice.

"1!"

Pikachu made the first move, using Thunderbolt. The Engineer jumped back a couple feet to avoid the attack, firing some bullets at the creature as he drew his pistol. The yellow blur easily dodged those, sending out its own again. Well its opponent dodged, Pikachu tackled the builder, knocking off his weapon. Engi pulled out his wrench, striking the electro-rat.

-Pikachu: 9%

Pikachu was not fond of it. It smacked him with its tail.

-Engineer: 8%

The Engineer stumbled back some, dazed by the sudden attack. He almost fell off the platform. Pikachu jumped on a higher platform, charging up a Thunderbolt. That was when the Engineer noticed some cracks under it. He took out his Frontier Justice and fired a few rounds, shattered the stone plate like glass. As Pikachu fell, Engi whipped up his pistol, firing some shot into the creature.

-Pikachu: 33%

Then he took out the Frontier Justice again, shooting the rodent off the main platform. What he saw next was a surprise. Pikachu jumped TWICE in midair!

"What in tarnation?" He shouted before Pikachu knocked off the platform, sending him to his doom. A bright explosion appeared, as well as a saucer of some sort. It carried the Engineer to a certain point before fading, causing him to fall to the ground.

Meanwhile, the TF2 team looked in disbelief.

"Aye, what just happened?" The Demoman shouted.

The Heavy looked at the screen, noticing something he hadn't seen before. Below the health meters were some strange icons. Pikachu only had one more than the Engineer. The Medic noticed as well.

"It vould seem that zhis game mode utilizes limited lives." The doctor said.

The Scout looked at him, puzzled. "You mean like when we respawn after dying?" He asked, shuddering at the word "dying".

The Medic nodded. "But only for a few times, though." He pointed at the icons, while screen showed the two combatants duking it out.

-Engineer: 65%, 3 lives

-Pikachu: 89%, 4 lives

Meanwhile with the Engi, he backed up against some sort of barrel. He didn't know what was in it, but it was bad news. He looked up to see another platform, but it was too high. Then he got an idea. He danced at Pikachu (The same taunt he used when selecting the Shotgun).

"Come one sissy." He taunted. "Let's do this, Texan style."

Pikachu Thunderbolted at him. The builder leapt behind the baller, kicking it as he did so. The blast knocked him into the air, sending him on top of the platform. He took out his PDA and selected his Sentry. Pikachu began climbing as he built his sentry. When the yellow mouse got there, he was greeted by a stream of bullets. The level-1 Sentry sent Pikachu flying into a strange, silver sphere.

Back at the arena, the Spy jumped. "Oh no."

The Soldier turned to him. "What now? Late for a date?"

The Spy shook his head. "No. I'm afraid that the tide has shifted."

Back with the fight, an aura of rainbows coated Pikachu. While the Engineer already upgraded his Sentry to level 3 (unlimited Metal in this game-mode), he still felt a shiver go down his spine. Then the weirdest (and possibly freakish as well) thing happened. Pikachu transformed into what appeared to be a miniature-sized black hole. The orb darted into the Sentry, destroying it before it even had a chance to fire. As it made contact, the sphere unleashed a fury of lightning.

"Sentry down!" The Engineer shouted, horrified by what just happened.

The vortex spun into the constructor, sending flying into the air.

-Engineer: 156%

The Engineer then slammed into the screen in cartoonish style, letting out a little cry as he impacted it. He slowly slid off of it, falling to the earth below. At the base, the Scout was laughing his head before getting slapped in the back of his head by the Sniper. The Engineer was down to two lives. The Scout starred at the monitor in disbelief.

"What the hell was that crap?" He screamed.

"A Smash Ball." The Spy replied. His turned to him. He decided to continue. "It grants who ever breaks it the ability to use their Final Smash move."

"…vhat a "vinal smash" be?" The Heavy asked, being one who was mostly muscle and barely any brain.

The Spy sighed. "Each character has their own unique Final Smash, which is a special attack that deals heavy damage, sometimes even cause instant K.O.s."

"So in other vords, if ze enemy gets ze Smash Ball… then-." The Medic was interrupted by the Sniper before he could finish.

"Game over."

Back the battle, The engineer and Pikachu were at their legs. Each at 50% health, and only one life left. The Engineer barely even had the strength to move. He whipped the swat off of his forehead. He always had to carry stuff around in the simulations at Payload, but this was ten times worse than that. The crowd cheered for amount, but the game wasn't over yet. Pikachu spotted another Smash Ball, hovering behind the builder. It jumped, about to leap over the Engineer. Big mistake.

The Engineer took advantage of this position, firing a few rounds from the Frontier Justice into the Pokemon. This send it flying into the sky before having landed in a painful style. The Engi then switched to his Golden Wrench, and smacked the ball until it shattered. Nothing happened.

"Darn." The Engineer sighed.

Right after he said that, he felt a massive wave of energy flow through his veins. Hebegan glowing in the same rainbow-aura Pikachu had earlier. He leapt up t the same platform Pikachu was on. A glowing button suddenly appeared on his PDA.

"Odd, where'd that come from?" He pondered out loud, pressing it.

When he did, A level 3 Sentry appeared out of nowhere. Panels began shifting under it, creating treads. More shifted around the back, turning into a chair and control panels. The Engineer was sitting in his own tank.

"Whoooowee, will ya look at that!" He said in awe. He grinned and grabbed a lever, turning the turret at the yellow rodent.

"That's what ya get!" Was all he said before pulling the trigger.

Pikachu took some hits, but managed to escape. The Engineer was not far behind him, driving the tank. Pikachu leapt to another platform, but at the touch of a button, the tank was lifted into the air. A pair of steam pipes was under the miniature-sized tank, propelling it upward. It landed gently, and then fired some more rounds at Pikachu. It sent it flying off the stage before exploding into a bright light. Pikachu has lost. Then suddenly the screen shifted to a wasteland. The camera went into numerous angles, showing off the Engineer as he spun his Pistol around. In the background, Pikachu was clapping its hands (or paws).

"The winner is…" The voice of the spokesperson came.

The camera panned out, showing the Engineer. He had his Golden Wrench on his shoulder, giving a tip-of-the-hat to the camera.

"The Engineer!" The voice came.

Engi chuckled. "Guess I got the Midas touch!"

The two fighters were then teleported back to the main room. The Engineer held out a hand to Pikachu.

"Nice job, partner." He spoke softly. "Haven't had a fight like that in a long time."

Pikachu spoke in its language, possible to congregate him. He grabbed the constructor's hand, shaking it. But there was a problem: The Engineer was using his left hand. Pikachu electrocuted the Texan, covering him in soot. The Engineer coughed (sending some ash into the air), and then fell down backwards in a anime-ish style. The whole team, even the Spy, laughed at his misfortune.

"That just ain't right!" The Engineer said as he sat back up, lifting a finger before falling back down.

The screen showed its casino-like wheel feature, this time using 3 'wheels'. The first one stopped, showing an elf-like woman.

"Zelda…"

The second wheel stops, showing the Pyro.

"VS The Pyro…"

The wheel stopped, showing a humanoid, bird-like being.

"VS Falco!"

Sorry for the long wait, but I was kinda on a stump while thinking about the fight. That, and school had a part in that too.
