"Mann Co. is under attack!" exclaimed the Administrator.
Sniper, Support, and Medic from the former RED team, and Spy, Heavy, and Scout from the defunct BLU team, were taking on Gray's robots in Coal Town. The mercenaries had heard that the Engineers from both dissembled teams were having huge success with their sentries, and even had a report that the RED Engineer's level 3 sentry ran out of ammo five seconds of robots coming into range, but did not believe it.
The mercenaries had readied themselves against the onslaught, as they had in the five previous waves, and were therefore in tactical positions around the entrance to the mine. Blood, limbs, oil, and gears went flying everywhere, like how they had earlier that day. But still the robots came on for more. When tanks came through, the mercenaries had a wager on how few times they would die, Support being optimistic at two deaths each, while Spy was more pessimistic at seven. However, the second tank had just arrived after the destruction of the first, before preceding to grind to a halt, and explode yards away from the mine, destroying the robots and Scout around it.
"Crikey! What made it do that?" exclaimed Sniper.
"Gentlemen, it appears that someone has taken command of Gray's robots, and they are self-destructing to prevent misuse. It appears that we have won!" shouted the Administrator through the loudspeakers.
"I wonder who could have done that." muttered Sniper, sarcastically.
"The RED Spy?" questioned the BLU Spy.
"Well done, genius. You're smarter than the rest of us."
"In Coal Town, yes. No offense to the fat man and his Degree in Russian Literature, but you are slower and more stupid than I. Despite this, your former Spy, Sniper, is smarter than I am. How he managed to wrestle the robots away from Gray, I do know, nor that they would self-destruct without the command his command."
"Still, I'll drink to him." stated Support.
"Won't there be a debriefin' or somethin'?" asked Scout.
"Little man has point." added Heavy.
"Ja, but it vould be nothing more than congratulations from Herr Hale, and us being sent avay." pointed out Medic.
"Sure doc, but this is Saxton Hale we're talking about. The bloke who's a credit to Australia and the man who beat up Cernunnos... and lived." argued Sniper.
"Didn't we all vow that none of us would talk about that incident." slurred Support in a beautiful Irish accent.
"I don't remember that, so go join the IRA, you Irish pig." said Sniper in a threatening way.
"Calm down, tiny baby Sniper, or I will send you through re-spawn until you stop threatening person who helped us out against robots." ordered Heavy.
"That wouldn't happen."
"You want demonstration?" asked Heavy, cracking his knuckles.
"On second thoughts, no." grumbled Sniper.
"Go back to that van you call home, as I for one don't want to be in the company of someone who is unpleasant to an ally." ordered Spy.
"Nah." spat Sniper.
"Van or re-spawn are options. Choose." commanded Heavy.
"I'll be in my van. Leave me alone for the next few hours." muttered Sniper.
After Sniper had left, Support looked at his team-mates.
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to the pub after those robots." stated Support.
The others joined him.
"How is your Frau? Out of curiosity." inquired Medic.
"She's alright. She felt a bit strange recently, and the Teufort doctor said she had two heartbeats. I don't believe him, as she would have had problems much earlier." answered Support.
"Two heartbeats? Usually that means that a Frau is vith..." started Medic.
"Whoo, big guy." cheered Scout, giving Support a high five.
"I don't get it." said Support.
"She is vith child." replied Medic.
"I haven't seen her with a child."
"Inside of her."
"Oh. I get you. Don't you have a wife?"
"She is at peace." stated Medic, solemnly.
"Oh dear." slurred Support, hanging his head for a few moments in quiet.
"Now," said Support, clapping his hands and rubbing them together, "What about something to drink?"
A/N Due to Smorgesborg and Cernunnos saying (in other words) that I should adjust the ending, I felt guilty, and therefore typed this, tying it into Mann Vs Machine. I hope this is a better ending, so please rate and review so I know how I've done.
