A/N: Ditto. Why this took long? Two things: writer's block and procrastination.
"Try beat that Sheila," said Sniper as he picked off a can at a distance. He and Jewel were practicing their sharpshooting skills by shooting cans off a fence.
"Ok," she said as she took aim and shot a can. "And I did it with no scope," she blew the smoke from the muzzle.
Sniper rolled his eyes before scoping in again. "Mongrel…" he muttered. Before he could take a shot, a can hit him. Before he could yell at Jewel, a rifle shot hit the area he was leaning.
"Saved your life bushman," she said as she took cover behind a boulder, another shot pinged off the boulder.
"What the bloody hell is going on?"
"No clue," she spotted a glimmer of light coming from the sharpshooter's scope. She popped out of cover and fired at the position. "Did I get him?"
"Yes you did," said Sniper as he looked through the scope. "Right between the eyes…" a uncloaking sound was heard and Sniper threw a jar of Jarate at the sound. "BLOODY SPY!"
The jar broke on what looked to be a tan-colored Allied sharpshooter. "Did you just throw your piss on me?" said the sharpshooter.
Jewel quickly ran over and socked the piss-soaked man in the face and knocked him out.
"Who was that, Jewel?" asked Sniper.
"I'll explain it later, right now we need to get back to the others," she said. "Oh and could you carry him into the van?"
Meanwhile
"If fighting shall result in victory them you must fight," said Soldier. He was currently ranting to his collection of heads while Jaz and BLU Demo watched on the side.
"I'm assuming your Soldier does this too?" asked Jaz.
"Aye, those two are strange," he said as he took a swig. "Want some lass?"
"No thanks, I don't drink,"
BLU Demo shrugged and took another swig, but before he could start a bullet came and shattered the bottle. "Ach! Me bottle of scrumpy!"
Jaz whipped around to find a tan-colored commando standing behind them. He had his hand on the flamethrower trigger.
"Shit," she hurled herself at BLU Demo and grabbed him before the commando could roast both of them.
"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" shouted Soldier as he turned around. "Uh, who are you?"
"Your demise," said the commando as he aimed his LMG/Flamethrower at Soldier. But before he could shoot, a bottle came down on his head and was knocked out.
"Next time you'll ask, blockhead!" taunted BLU Demo as he popped the cork of his rum bottle and took a swig.
"WHO IS THIS AND WHAT GIVES THEM PERMISSION TO THREATEN ME?" shouted Soldier as he marched over to the commando.
"Lets just say an "old" enemy," said Jaz as she lifted the commando and put him on her shoulder. "Better tell the others,"
Meanwhile
"Pyro?" asked Arachne.
"Yes, Spider-lady?" responded Pyro. She was doodling on the floor of her room while Arachne looked through her closet.
"Why do you have so many hats?"
Pyro looked up from her drawing. "Well, hats are a way to express ourselves both in and out of battle, gives us a bit more character,"
Arachne picked up a firefighter helmet and looked at it before looking at Pyro. "I'm assuming you wear this when you have your mask on right?"
"Yeah, apparently all the hats are too large for me, but they fit just right when my mask is on,"
Meanwhile
"So you named your gun Sasha?" asked Joli. She and Heavy were in the training room. The latter was cleaning his minigun, aka Sasha.
"Da, she weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds."
"Sounds expensive," she replied. "This is Thumper," she pulled out her trademark grenade launcher. "He is capable of firing various types of grenades, built and designed by me, and is able to hit targets over 200 meters,"
To demonstrate, she loaded a normal grenade round and fired it at a wooden cutout target in the far corner of the room. The target disintegrated as the grenade went off.
"Hmph, not bad," said Heavy. "Little woman is like giant,"
Just then BLU Engi came running into the training room. "R-r-robot," he said in between breaths. "It's outside,"
"D.E.T?" asked Joli.
BLU Engi shook his head. "No, something else,"
"Come, we fight tiny robot," said Heavy as he picked up Sasha.
The three ran out to find a green colored LOW-DR using its "claws" to smash BLU Engi's sentry.
"Aw hell…" said BLU Engi.
"Eyahhhhhhhh!" shouted Heavy as he fired at the LOW-DR. But the bullets were harmlessly bouncing off the mech.
The LOW-DR turned towards the disturbance and, with surprising speed for its size, ran towards Heavy. It was about to slam into him, but before it could an EMP round exploded at the mech and it halted about a foot from Heavy. Heavy poked at the mech with his finger and it fell backwards on its back.
Joli walked forward, Thumper smoking from the launch, and pried the hatch open on the LOW-DR. She grabbed the tan-colored foot soldier and tossed him to Heavy. "Make sure he doesn't get away," she commanded the Russian as she hefted the LOW-DR. "Wonder how the others would react when they see this,"
A/N: So yeah, I got stuck on what happens next. But here it is, and thanks to Meerhawk for favoriting and following.
Till next time,
