Chapter 3: On The Defense
(Author's note: I am VERY! Sorry for the delay, but I've been busy, so please forgive me. I will work on my stories more often, that's a promise!)
Scout respawned, with the usual ding sound "You're late private!" Soldier scolded, all scout did was tremble, and stare with a look devoid of any emotion other than fear. "Scout you alright?" Engineer asked with concern, "N… no I, can't talk about it man!" Scout responded with growing hysteria. "Vatever it iz, we can help." Medic said in an attempt to get Scout to tell what happened, but Scout immediately recognized the voice of Medic, his Tormentor, his Murderer.
Scout reeled back in fear, and tripped over the main bench, as he shielded his face with his arms, repeatedly shouting, "No!" Sniper looked at medic and told him "Whatever happened must've involved you, Medic." Medic gave a look of shock "Vat I did nothing to Scout." "Maybe It was RED Doctor, who caused this." Heavy spoke up, "Can you still fight Scout?" "No, no, no, I ain't goin' back out there."
The alarm sounded for another round to begin. "Vell you all should get going, I'll stay and sort Scout out." Medic announced to his team. Spy stood up "I don't believe that would be the best decision at ze' moment, I will stay with the boy." He told Medic. Very vell, Spy. Let us go." Medic ordered his team. The BLUs went to battle, leaving Spy to talk to Scout. "Now Scout I need you to calm down, and tell me what it
is that you saw, take as much time as you need." Scout took in a deep breath, "OK."
The battle will be rough for the BLUs, Without Scout for quick retrieval of the enemy Intel, or Spy for infiltration missions, they were at a heavy disadvantage. Their strategy was to continuously protect the intelligence, hoping to end the round at least in a tie. Sniper stayed up top hoping to shoot some intruders, the rest stayed in the base awaiting the onslaught of REDs.
This plan worked for the first few minutes of the round, but their foes slowly pushed them back little, by little. It seemed that for every team member that died, the REDs moved up another foot. Back at the respawn room, Scout was explaining what the RED medic did to him. "Then he told me that if I came out again, he'd do it again, but worse!"
Spy was widely shocked to hear Scout's story, he know the Medic was psycho but he didn't think he was THIS psycho. "Did, did this really happen?" Scout shot up from the bench and shouted, "If I made this up, would I have told it to ya!" Spy was genuinely speechless, the daily routine was this, teams go out, fight, round ends, rinse, and repeat. But kidnapping was never on the agenda!
From outside of the respawn room's main door, the two could hear the carnage of the battlefield. There were only 5 minutes left of the match, and the REDS were almost to the Intel. The BLUs did everything in their power, to prevent them from winning. 4 minutes, the REDS breached the Intel. Room.
Demoman was unconscious due to much drinking, so he was out of the question for defense. At the 2 minute mark, the REDs broke through the BLU defenses. A RED soldier was able to snatch the Intel. Off the table, and began his ascend out of the base. If the BLUs had not been fighting, they may have notice the RED spy dragging the BLU demoman's unconscious body out too.
At 1 minute soldier was leaving the BLU base, luckily for the BLUs their sniper saw this from his usual perch, as he took aim, he realized he shot his last bullet at the sniper that was parallel from his position. He took out his kukri, and jumped. He brought it down and the large knife went through the soldier's head. "We have dropped the enemy intelligence!" the administrators voice yelled at the REDs still fighting in the BLU base. The BLUs, however heard "The enemy has dropped our intelligence!" All the REDs immediately stopped fighting, and started running out of the base. Sniper, still over RED Soldiers dead corpse, heard the many footsteps of the enemy, coming his way.
The RED heavy reached sniper first, he rose his mighty fist. Sniper braced himself for the pain, but then "DING!" it was the bell signifying the end of the round. "Stalemate!" yelled the Administrator. Sniper opened his eyes and saw the heavy's fist, just centimeters from his face. The REDs walked back to their respective base, giving sniper a disgusted look. Sniper breathed a sigh of relief, as he went to join his team.
Back at the respawn, spy explained what Scout had told him. The responses varied from silence, gasps, or Pyro cocking his head to the left. "Even I don't do zat!" BLU medic announced. "That is just dishonorable!" Soldier yelled "taking prisoners is for, Pussies! I prefer to rip them apart myself!" Engineer stood up and said "um, am I the only one noticed Demo's missin'?" Then the team fell silent…
