Chapter 6: Do Robots Bleed, Mate?
A/N:This chapter will mainly focus more on the other members of the team, like Sniper and Demo. Sorry for the short chapter, I will post another one later in the day. Enjoy!
"Oy! Lemme have a refund, mate! This knife's made of plastic, not metal!" Sniper yelled at the clerk behind the desk. "You could choose anoza veapon, but you vill not get a refund!" The clerk responded, gesturing to the kukri section. Sniper muttered something about kangaroo piss, then went over to
look. "This looks good, mate!" He said, holding up a Tribalman's Shiv. "Alright. Give me ze old knife und you have zat vun." The clerk answered. Sniper tossed the plastic knife over the counter and grabbed the Shiv. "One more thing." He said.
"Yes?"
"Do robots bleed, mate?"
DEMO POV
"An' one time, we blew up the tiny briefcase an' the lass in purple got really mad!" Demo explained drunkenly. It gained a laugh from everyone else in the bar. "Ay, I gon'ta be gettin' back now, lads!" He cried, with a beer still in his hand. He staggered out, bumping into Sniper with his new weapon. He muttered something, then staggered across the street. He was ran over by Medic's ambulance. The Medic immediately healed him back then gave him a lecture on self-control before driving him back to the base, still drunk. "Alert! Robots approaching! Will reach Rottenburg in thirty minutes!" Came the announcer's voice. Everyone got dressed, then grabbed their weapons. The Engineer set up sentries at the bomb hatch, while the Heavy spun up his Brass Beast. Everyone charged forward as the Demo laid down stickies at the bomb hatch. Medic got a full Uber by healing Soldier, who was rocket jumping all over the place. Sniper took a perch as the robots started flooding in.
"Defend Mann Co.!"
"Big robot's got the bomb!" Engineer cried as he desperately escaped with his sentry in his arms. "Danke!" Medic said, giving crits to the Soldier. "Dahh!" Soldier suddenly yelled, falling to the ground. "Soldier is dead!" Medic scouted the area for people to heal. "Argh. Dummkopfs!" He mumbled as he activated his UberCharge canteen and rushed in with his Blutsauger. He took out the Giant Soldier surprisingly fast, as he realized. "Finally, Heavy! Go!" He said to the Heavy standing still behind him "Not now. Doktor." The Heavy said in a robotic voice. A robot Spy! Medic shot a few syringed into the Spy, which killed it. "MEEEEEDIC! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDIC! HELP MEH! MEEEEDIC!" Came a sticky-jumping Demoman's voice, closely pursued by robot Soldiers. "I'm coming! Stay down!" He yelled back, dashing to where he calculated Demo will land. Just as he came in range, Medic popped his last UberCharge canteen on the Demoman. "Thanks, doc!" He replied gratefully as he blasted a few robots to scrap. "Ah, the fook! Big robot, lad!" Demo mumbled, pointing at the giant version of himself. "Oh, merde. Spy said as he facepalmed as he un-cloaked behind the group. "Huttah!" Soldier cried suddenly, emerging out of the upgrade station and releasing a clip of nine rockets on the robot. "That's what kept you maggots waiting!" He explained, as Spy started laughing maniacally. "On hon hon hon, snort hon hon hon!" He snorted as he pointed to a dead robot Medic and Heavy, having died very awkwardly. "Spy, vhat have you been smoking? I vill have to… Oh. HOOO HOO HOO! HAHAHAHA!" Medic realizes, relaxing since the administrator had just announced that Gray had stopped the robot horde for today.
"Lohohohohaha, lohoHAhahaha!"
Everyone came over, saw and laughed. It was surprising to Demo how everyone can talk and laugh in battle, just as they used to. Some of their teammates that survived the arena match were kind of quiet, and it felt like that Rottenburg was restoring everyone's energy. The team head back as they had another tour, under their belts.
