A/N: Ditto.


"GIANT ROBOTS?" yelled Engi into his radio. "Are you sure of that Ms. Pauling?"

"GIANT ROBOTS?" yelled the mercs.

While the Engis and other mercs were currently stressing out about the fact of robotic giants heading their way, our two "friendlier" robots were having a quiet discussion.

"Shit," muttered Wolfshire as he glanced over to his sister. "This just got harder,"

"The D.E.T really wants us, do they?" she replied back.

"Uggh," muttered Wolfshire as he lied down on the ground and covered his eyes with his paws. "Why did they have to bring the bloody robots here, when we don't have our hard hitters with us?"

Arachne scuttled over to her whining brother and gave him a smack on his head.

'SMACK!'

"Ow,"

"Oh stop your complaining," she said. "We just have to make ends meet, and take these suckers down without our muscles,"

"Of all the fucking times TT or the demo twins AREN'T with us, why…"

Arachne rolled her eyes before scuttling over to the mercs.

"So Soldier's and Demo's explosives aren't working huh?" said BLU Engi. "And the Snipers' aren't making a dent either, good night Irene!"

Engi was currently racking his brain looking for a way to stop the giants, as he leaned on the dispenser, the Pyros were, sorta, helping him come up with ideas. Both Heavies were cleaning their miniguns with the Medics were healing those who were injured.

Arachne scuttled over to Engi,

"Need help cowboy?"

"Oh yeah," he replied, head in his hands.

"It's harder than those word searches we're doing," said Pyro. The Pyros were scribbling a pencil on a piece of paper.

"You do know those are crossword puzzles and not word searches, right?"

She blinked before turning to BLU Pyro,

"I thought you said this was a word search,"

"Mmmmpmpt mpmr mpmtptmp," BLU Pyro replied.

"Oh, I think I heard you wrong,"

The two Pyros resumed finishing their crossword puzzle.

Arachne and Engi exchanged glances,

"Have anything Arachne?" asked Engi.

"Normally, Wolfshire and I don't fight the D.E.T's giants…"

Engi groaned.

"We leave that to our heavy hitters,"

Engi groaned again.

"Oh will you stop your whining, and let me finish, dammit!"

She composed herself before continuing,

"The giants are built similar to each other, each are not unique in a way so if we find a weakness in one…"

"We can find it in all of them," Engi finished.

"Exactly," she brought up a hologram of a giant. The giant was bipedal, walks on two legs, and had two mechanical arms; one had a large cannon built on it, while the other held a drill. On the top of the giant was a rectangular glass box, where the driver sat. The giant didn't look it was in the best of shape though, as parts of it can be seen through its metal armor.

"That doesn't look very battle worthy," said BLU Engi. The rest of the mercs, were currently crowding around the hologram.

"Oh trust me, goggles, this is far from a piece of junk," Arachne replied. "The cannon and drill are self-explanatory, carries a energy shield, walks up to fifteen miles per hours, and has a propulsion system that turns it into a battering ram,"

Engi whistled, "Wow,"

"Yeah, but these things get scrapped everyday by the Gang and Crew,"

"So how do we beat this things?" asked Pyro.

"First, we have to get those shields down," replied Arachne. "Soldier's rockets, and Demo's grenades can easily take a giant down, but those shields turn those piles of scrap into war machines,"

Engi snapped his fingers,

"An EMP bomb, it should take those shields down,"

"But we don't have one," said BLU Engi. "The closest thing we have to an EMP is Spy's Sapper,"

"Wait I know!" said Pyro. "What about Soldier's Cow Mangler?

"Cow Mangler?" asked Arachne.

"YAH! Mangler, its alt charge disables Engi's buildings for a few seconds, it's soooooo annoying,"

"Disable…"

"Got something?"

"If I could modify one of those "Manglers" I think we got ourselves an anti-giant weapon,"

"That's great," said Engi. "Hey BLU, got a spare Cow Mangler?"

"Yah, one should be back at the armory,"

"ALRIGHT!" Arahcne yelled in celebration. "Lets go Wolfy,"

Wolfshire nodded and followed her down the hall to the armory.

A few minutes later the mercs hear a drill noise from somewhere.

"What was noise?" asked Heavy.

Seconds later the top of a rusted drill could be seen drilling though the ceiling.

"RUN!" shouted Engi.

The drill bore through the ceiling and crushed the sentry nest below.

"What in Sam Hill…" started Engi before he saw a familiar face.

The face of a familiar crop-top, muscular trooper.

"I'm backkkk," said Jackson through the cockpit of a giant.

Meanwhile

Wolfshire and Arachne raced back to the BLU armory, and started looking for this "Cow Mangler".

"I think we should've asked what it looks like," said Arachne as she tossed a Liberty Launcher aside.

"You think?" replied Wolfshire as he scanned the room.

"Well, we know it's a rocket launcher," Arachne said back.

Wolfshire sighed before jumping into a pile of weapons, looking for the weapon that can save everyone's lives.
