Meet The Spy
Welcome back everybody, to my next chapter of this fic. Thanks to all of my readers both new and old for enjoying my content.
Perseus12: Thanks. I really appreciate the support and hope you'll like this chapter as well.
Chromeillusion: How about 8 months and 4 days?
Super heavy weapons guy: To be honest, neither did I. Did you expect to see it again now?
And so let's get right into this.
"Alright, if a calm professional who actually seems sort of sane was shown last time, then this will have to be at least twice as crazy to compensate." Yang said as she clapped her hands before rubbing them in a sinister manner, clearly excited to see how this video would go.
"A professional who urinated on jars for an average of 24 minutes." Ciel retorted in an effort to have it be known that none of these mercenaries can be considered sane, even if some of them can be a lot less impulsive.
"Wait, you timed it?" A confused Yang asked in a slightly amused tone, as it seemed impossible to track the entire time that Sniper waited before his shot, not without a lot of pausing and replaying to the point of losing the fun of watching a quick montage of a guy pissing, unless you really like to see people move but that brings a lot of questions she doesn't want to ask or answered.
"There was a clock that was operating during the time lapse showing that he was waiting for three hours and fifteen minutes and he urinated eight times, though that would have made it an average of 24 minutes and 37.5 seconds, not counting the time he took to drink coffee or look through his scope." Ciel explained, as while she finds the subject of timing urination disgusting, her mind was hyper focused on keeping track of time to the second as well as her ability to catch various details, in this case the clock, meant it was all but impossible to not notice the information on Sniper's uresis.
"Didn't even know there was a clock to time the piss breaks." Sun admitted, though he was not alone in that statement, with Ruby, Jaune, Nora, Neon, and Yang also unaware of the background item that revealed such details of the timelapse.
"Well, congratulations for already making me sick before the video even started." Weiss grumbled sarcastically, exasperated over the focus on such a disgusting topic, even more so for how someone she thought would be above this nonsense was getting involved in the discussion of a nature call.
It starts with a shot of an alarm bell made by BLU called an ALARM-O-TRON ringing loudly to bring in the attention of any available units nearby.
"And once again, it starts with trouble already going down before just going completely insane." Scarlet sighed as he preferred the slower build up from the Sniper video, though it still had hectic moments of its own, such as the deaths of the Demoman and Spy. Given that this video is about the latter, the high flyer wondered if the Spy would return the favor.
"That does seem to be a recurring theme amongst these videos, though it does seem that the action will be happening indoors this time." Ren noted as he recalled the previous videos, though it did bring up the detail that the mayhem in the Sandvich video was entirely indoors, but given that video was an exception for various reasons, the most notable being the fact it was not about a mercenary.
"Unless this is an alarm for someone on the outside coming in or getting out with something clearly problematic." Sage replied, knowing that the beginning of the Scout and Demoman videos had the titular mercenaries leaving the indoors to engage in combat with the enemy team.
"Intruder Alert! Red Spy is in the Base!" A voice called out as the view pans down to various signs light up with each reading 'Intruder Alert', 'Red Spy', and 'In Base'
"Must be a bad spy if they got caught." Blake said with a raised eyebrow, as a fellow stealth member amongst a group of noteworthy individuals, she knows the value that purposefully getting caught can have but that it's also a very risky move to be used in a desperate gamble or if the circumstances are heavily in her favor to go for it.
"Or a great system to detect their unwanted presence." Weiss retorted as she heard how much her father had spent for security and surveillance to prevent the theft of dust, though rather using for the transportation where almost all of the stolen dust were taken, the majority of the expenses were for the mines to keep track on the workers in spite of how miniscule they could actually stow away by comparison.
"Well it depends on how skilled this spy is, and unless it's the Medic or the Pyro, they probably wanted to be found out." Pyrrha pointed out, as while she never had any experience having to sneak into enemy territory, she knows the power of a deceptive feint from her history as the Invincible Girl.
"A Red Spy is in the base?!" A BLU Soldier exclaimed as it pans back to show not only the man himself, but to show that the signs were part of a large security panel.
"Man, that's old-school tech. No digital screens, no security cameras showing the feed, just lighting up signs with an announcement." Flynt winced at the sight of the analog setup that highly differentiated with the machines in Remnant, especially Atlas.
"It does bring out how much they contrast from us aside from their lack of aura." Penny ever so cheerfully brought up. Though some of it was her natural sunny disposition, there was a part of her that wondered what someone like her would be over there, given how her father was a renowned scientist in the most technological kingdom. The Engineer seemed capable, though that requires further investigations of the man and his inventions if there are more than his sentry guns.
"Wonder what else is different there?" Yang asked herself, thinking about what kind of motorcycles they got over there and how they compare to bumblebee, if they even have motorcycles, though it seems likely seeing as they have trucks from the Engineer video.
"Well there's one thing I know we have in common. We do not want to be caught by the Soldier, that we can agree on." Neptune confidently expressed, as even after five videos, the hydrophobic mistraili still remembers the fear and terror of seeing the collection of enemy heads, a sentiment many can attest to.
The BLU Soldier then grabs a shotgun from a gun rack before going down a set of stairs while repeatedly yelling out 'Hut, Hut, Hut!' as warning lights go on.
"Protect the Briefcase!" The voice ordered while the BLU Soldier dashed across a hallway, putting his hand on his helmet to keep it on.
"We need to protect the briefcase!" The BLU Soldier repeated as he racked his shotgun.
"You don't need to say it again, I'm pretty sure they can't hear you." Jaune said due to not seeing any reason to parrot the announcements, neither anybody to listen or any listening devices in sight.
"It is needed for clarification that they understand the order given." Ciel retorted as her history from the early days of Atlas Academy came back to her memory.
"Well let's hope that he understood gun safety in regards to proper handling while sprinting." Pyrrha opined as she's nearly expecting the shotgun to suddenly fire off, whether from the Soldier's tight grip or the highly likely odds of it hitting the walls and floor.
"A briefcase? What's so important about that?" Sun asked as his only view of briefcases are as something for boring lawyers and business stuff.
"Most likely documents that hold records of various illegal activities and altered finances that would destroy any company if they were revealed." Blake answered with focus on the briefcase, reminded of her time with the White Fang where finding any such documents for either evidence or blackmail to use against anti-faunus companies and individuals, before it was considered by Sienna and Adam to be ineffective compared to threats, intimidation and robbery. Though with Adam, he would rather kill than try any other methods to reason with humans to get his way; she had to leave him and the White Fang when it became clear they were going to more extreme measures.
"It could also be awesome battle plans that can't handle being spoiled for their audience." Neon guessed, since she knows that learning is half the battle, taking what others know makes the battle much easier and therefore funner.
"Yo, a lil' help here?!" A BLU Scout shouted out as he pulled on the knob of the security door labeled as 'BRIEFCASE ROOM' with a keypad on it.
"Shouldn't he know what the code is? Not only is he technically working there, but his job needs him to check the briefcase, which requires the code to the door that he had to have learned." Coco griped about the Scout's stupidity, her bossy nature getting very pissed at the thought of such a boneheaded moment in a crisis.
"I'm pretty sure that we know why he doesn't know the code." Fox responded, recalling how annoyingly self-absorbed the speedy slugger was, much like his team leader when it came to what to wear for the occasion and anytime Glynda gave any sort of compliment to CFVY no matter how minuscule it was and how little Coco was actually responsible for it.
"Alright, alright, I got it. Stand back, son." The BLU Soldier asserted as he moved the BLU Scout to the side to get to the door.
"1,1,1, umm… 1!" The Soldier hollered out as he repeatedly pushes the worn-out 1 button on the keypad, with the rest of the buttons looking as if they were brand new.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me. That can not be the code to the room holding your most important documents." Weiss griped with heavy objection in her tone, bewailing the thought of such easy access to either the core of their foundation or dissolution.
"The worn out 1 key seems to suggest it is." Ren reasoned, but the possibility that the state of the 1 key is due to repeated attempts does seem highly likely.
"Idiots. Freaking idiots." Scarlett facepalmed as he rubbed his temples, exasperated with how irresponsible these hired guns meant to protect their employers interest just seem so incapable they make Sun look like a dedicated workaholic.
"Let's go, let's go!" BLU Scout yelled out while brandishing the sandman.
"INCOMING" A BLU Heavy holding Sasha yelled out as he ran straight at the door, not slowing down at the slightest at the two BLU mercenaries in his way.
"Huh, deja vu." Yatsuhashi mumbled, as the memory of first seeing Heavy do the exact same thing during their first meeting coming back to him.
"Wooden bat? Didn't he have a metal one before?" Ruby questioned, as she definitely remembered Scout using an aluminum bat during his video.
"It is a different scout than the one before, and they could have multiple bats, seeing as they are clearly a fan of baseball." Blake pointed out, noticing that the outfit has a resemblance to baseball uniforms.
"Ugh, it does the job of visually saying he's a speedy guy, but he could have taken some creative liberties with it." Coco grumbled, tired of having to hold herself back from using her excellent taste in fashion on these unchanging videos, though she'll certainly have some words with the mercenaries when they meet again.
Something that a teammate of hers took note of. "Wow, took you this long before you went all judge fashion on us. I'm a little impressed." Fox admitted with a shocked expression, one that was also shown on Velvet's and Daichi's faces at their leader's restraint. Coco did not appreciate their sentiment and is already planning some payback for later.
The BLU Heavy then rammed himself to the door with a shoulder-barge, making it burst out the frame alongside breaking the window, all while shoving the BLU Soldier and Scout with him into the briefcase room, even knocking down the Soldier with his minigun's barrel to the face as Scout tripped over from the force of the impact.
"Pretty sure the door was already unlocked, but that was a nice hustle." Nora complimented as she claps her hands in applause, appreciating the show of force and the resulting crash that brings so much joy to her heart.
"Was it unlocked? There didn't seem to be any indication that it was." Pyrrha pondered if the door code was actually 1-1-1-1 or if that would've made any difference to the scene in either an unbroken door or stopping the charging Heavy from coming through the doorway.
The BLU Scout and Heavy were yelling before the Scout put his hand on the Briefcase on the desk.
"AAAAAHHHhhhey it's still here." Scout
"-AAAAalright then."
"Well that's a relief, their briefcase wasn't stolen so they still have a chance of keeping it safe with them." Jaune said with optimism for the BLU team, given how they've been more or less cannon fodder to show what the RED team members can do.
"True, but they still need to find and terminate the Spy until it's completely safe." Flynt argued, as while he's not one to ignore good news, that doesn't mean he'll let his guard down until it's completely over and done.
"Who's to say they didn't already get it and what they're seeing is a fake?" Sage pointed out while putting his focus on the briefcase in question to see if there's any hints of it being a fake.
"Oh that would be so cool if that's what happened." Ruby gushed over the thought of a superawesome spy trick being used like in the movies.
"Ahem." A voice called out behind the BLU Heavy, who turned around as the view focused forward to a man wearing a suit and tie with a ski mask carrying a body over his shoulder.
"Gentlemen." The BLU Spy said as he catched the three BLU mercenaries' attention with a serious look on his face before the 'Meet the Spy' title card showed up, which has a nearly filled cigarette holder with a screen and three buttons on it on top of a file labeled 'Top Secret' that appears to contain photos while there appears an icon of a balisong with a drop of presumably blood below the tip of the blade.
"Uhg, cigarettes." Scarlet groaned in disgust, reminded of all the times he accidentally passed through hot smoke clouds when he used his semblance due to nearby smokers and factories.
"Who's body is he carrying?" Neptune asked with a bit of hesitation, given that it's definitely a corpse from how it moves and yet nothing has revealed the cause of death, which he is certain will be shown.
"We're doing BLU guys now? A bit late for that, don't you think?" Ren questioned, feeling that the shift from RED to BLU would have fit better if it had occurred between the Demoman and Scout videos, though it would have happened with the Scout video if the Sandvich counted.
"There's only two left after this, so that's a 2 to 1 split in team videos if we're not counting the Sandvich." Ciel informed the group with an internal sigh of relief due to these insane videos getting so close to the end.
"Maybe there's a bunch more item videos to balance it out." Sage replied, as it would be rather strange to only have one video about an item in this series of mercenaries.
"Well that would suck, we're so close to finishing this, I don't want to go through a bunch of filler before seeing the whole team do their own thing." An annoyed Yang said, as while she does enjoy these videos, she's starting to get antsy to get out and see how she goes against the team.
"I think that the sandvich video was its own thing, it's unlikely that they would do it again." Blake responded as she compared the videos to her collection of books, specifically the ones that have spinoffs for a fan favorite to either capitalize on the fanbase or as a response to a lack of focus.
"I see the briefcase is safe." BLU Spy stated as he carries body across the room.
"Safe and sound, mm-hmm." BLU Soldier confirmed as he stands up to recover from getting knocked down.
"Yeah it is." BLU Scout cheerfully answered while the BLU Heavy walks into the conversation, minigun in his firm grasp.
"Tell me… did anyone happen to kill a RED Spy on the way here?" The BLU Spy asked as he looks around the three other BLU members, only to get a shrug from the Scout and the Soldier and Heavy to look at each other for an answer.
"No? Then we still have a problem." BLU Spy responded as he put the body on the desk to reveal it to be the corpse of a BLU Sniper, stabbed in the back by a balisong with a large bloodstain around the stab wound.
"Guess that answers who the Spy was carrying." Fox darkly said upon seeing the dead body of the Sniper, his history on Vacuo making him a lot more numb to the sight of death.
"As well as how dangerous the enemy Spy must be." Sun added on with a similar history of being born on Vacuo, even if it's something he doesn't want to think about.
"Balisong, otherwise known as the butterfly or fan knife due to its shape and mechanics of folding the handles to hide the knife, making it great for concealed self-defense or sneak attacks." Ruby described upon seeing the knife due to her love of weapons giving her a memorization of how weapons work and what they were used for.
"I have actually considered using a balisong design for Gambol Shroud before opting to focus more on a regular knife." Blake admitted sheepishly, embarrassed to reveal even such a small detail. But she's willing to do it since she's gotten, well not close but certainly acquainted with Ruby, Weiss, Yang, and Sun, with JNPR and Penny being close to it as well.
"And a knife." Soldier stated upon seeing the weapon embedded on the Sniper.
"Oo-oo-ooh, big problem." Scout sarcastically responded in mock fear as he picked up the knife.
"If they weren't clones of each other, that would have been the dumbest thing he could have done." Weiss chidingly noted as her many studies included investigation methods such as the importance of dusting for fingerprints.
"Not like it's going to be much help since the RED Spy has gloves like the BLU Spy." Nora retorted with a pointed finger towards the heiress, as if she was accusing her of a crime.
"…Fair point, Valkyrie." Weiss conceded, slightly bashful at how she got corrected by the hyperactive hammer wielder. Something that Nora and Yang are clearly not going to let go off for a while judging by their facial expressions.
"I've killed plenty of spies; they're a dime-a-dozen back-stabbing scumbags, like you." Scout boasted as he spun the balisong around the handle before having a side of the knife hit his finger. "Ow! No offense." Scout casually apologized as he kissed his cut a bit.
"He apologized?" Yatsuhashi said in shock, given how full of himself the Scout has shown himself to be not only in this video but in the Scout's own.
"Not in a 'he actually meant it' way, but still he did do it." Velvet rationalized, even if she was quite shocked as well from hearing the Scout actually give an apology.
"He was cut by the side of the blade? Aren't balisongs more of a stabbing weapon?" Ruby asked, having learned the various differences in bladed weapons when she wanted to know which are knives and which are swords.
"He could have made it sharp on all sides to make it better at fighting, especially given who he has to fight against." Blake replied as that was something she considered during the balisong prototype phase.
"Then why leave the knife in the body if it's specially made?" Neon questioned as she likes to keep her stuff with her given how pricey Atlas can get.
"The most likely possibility was that the assassination of the BLU Sniper was a close call for the RED Spy as well as happening very recently, given how unlikely it would have been for the BLU Spy to carry the corpse around for a while." Penny suggested even if it seems incredibly unlikely for that to be true, because there is a possibility due to how unpredictable these mercenaries have shown themselves to be so far.
"If you've managed to kill them, I assure you, they were not like me." The BLU Spy responded as he expertly folded the knife shut before giving it back to Scout. "And nothing… Nothing like the man loose this building." The masked french man warned with ominous tones.
"Sounds like this RED Spy has quite the reputation." Coco commented with a raised eyebrow upon hearing the BLU Spy's warning response.
"Well there's only so much killing you can do before you catch everyone's attention." Fox sarcastically retorted with a sly grin as Coco rolled her eyes at her scarred teammate.
"Though, given how dangerous he's said to be with the body of evidence shown so far, what does that say about the BLU Spy's skills in gathering information?" Ciel questioned as anyone tracking the hordes of grimm would tell you that it's very dangerous given how they could easily turn the tables on you if you get caught.
"What're you? President of his fan club?" Scout mocked the Soldier and Heavy chuckle in amusement.
"No… That would be your mother!" Spy shot back as he pulled out a file, the same 'Top Secret' one from the title card.
"Yes, mock the one who's your biggest chance of catching this dangerous threat, much less surviving the experience." Flynt brusquely replied to the disrespectful mercenary, not one to play nice if others aren't willing to.
"A 'your mom' joke? A bit childish for him don't you think?" Scarlet mumbled as he didn't think that someone wearing such a sharp suit would go with such a childish response.
"Nothing wrong with going for the classics, especially if they have proof backing it up." Yang defends the schoolyard insult with a devious smile on her face as she brings her focus to the file on screen, having an idea of what's exactly inside it.
The BLU Spy then slaps the file on the table to reveal several photos of the RED Spy and the BLU Scout's mom engaging in intimacy.
"What the?!" was all Scout could yell out before being left a stammering mess at the sight of the scandalous photos, which also attracted the attention of the Soldier and Heavy.
Scout wasn't the only one left shocked by the reveal of the coitional photos as Weiss, Ruby, Scarlet, Yatsuhashi, Ciel, Neptune, and Pyrrha were left stunned at the sexual nature of the photos. And while not completely astonished by it, Velvet, Coco, Sun, Yang, Blake, Nora, Jaune, and Neon were blushing heavily with Coco even lowering her glasses for a better view of Scout's mom.
"Hahahahahahah, it's better than I could have actually expected." Yang laughed out as she recovered from the photos before falling down at the humor of it all.
"Well if the RED Spy ever found out about this, I can only imagine what he would do to the BLU Spy when he inevitably appears." Fox grimaced at such thoughts, imagining various methods of torture and executions the RED mercenary would put his BLU counterpart through, furthered disturbed knowing that those two are one and the same.
"Oh yeah, I would have absolutely murder anyone who would have taken photos of me like that." Coco admitted while not even taking her eyes off Scout's mom, appreciating the various shots of the milf.
"Indeed, and now he's here to fuck us! So listen up boy, or pornography starring your mother will be the second worst thing that happens to you today." Spy exclaimed as he took out a cigarette from his case while Scout clenched his fist in anger at the Spy.
"Wow, I don't think there's anything worse than having that be the second worst thing to happen in a day. Except for having it be the third worst thing to happen to you in a day, but that's redundant." Nora rambled as she got to thinking of what's generally considered worse than porn of your parents. Thankfully, a rare upside to being abandoned is that this has much less of an effect on you.
"What about literally eating shit or being vivisected as the second worst thing to happen." Jaune offhandedly suggested, as while the thought of nudes photos of his mother being public would be absolutely terrible, it would be the better choice over having to eat feces or getting his body cut open while he's awake, at the very least on a personal selfish level.
"Oooh, good one fearless leader. That's giving me goosebumps just thinking about it." Nora congratulated with shudders at the thought of that happening, though Jaune didn't feel that was something to be proud of.
"I think I need a smoke right now." Sage muttered as he watched Spy bring out his cigarette, understanding how this discussion can make someone need a quick relief even at the expense of their overall health.
"We can have some tea later if you want." Blake offered, knowing how stressful the whole ordeal can be as well as having to deal with Sun as team leader who apparently goes anywhere he wants without a moment's notice. Given how the rest of team RWBY told her how worried they felt about her leaving for a half a day, it's hard to imagine how they feel about being left for at least a couple of days, except Scarlet who has made his feelings about it quite well known.
"I appreciate that." A surprised yet glad Sage responded, having heard about Blake from what little Sun said about her after finding him and what Neptune and Scarlet picked up on after finding him.
And while The BLU Scout was busy putting away the photos of his mother and RED Spy together from everyone's view, The Blu Heavy and Soldier were checking some of the photos behind him, with Heavy showing Soldier a particular one that made him go "OHH!", getting Scout's attention.
"GIVE ME THAT!" Scout yelled out as he snatched the intriguing photo from Heavy's hands while Spy lights and smokes his cigarette.
"That has to be so embarrassing for him." Ruby groaned out in sympathy, not even daring to imagine herself in that scenario since it's so wrong on so many levels.
"Could be worse, it could have been actual public porno that he would have no way to completely remove." Neptune reasoned since the only nude photos of Scout's mom are in the folder, at least the ones they know of.
"Well let's hope that the BLU Spy is a decent enough person to not have made copies of such immoral material." Ciel said while glaring in disgust at the photos, for both the invasion of privacy and the perverted content. Her glare extended towards the people enjoying the sight, including but not limited to Coco, Neptune, Yang, Sun, and Blake.
"But then he won't have evidence on the RED Spy if those get destroyed." Sun, who's completely oblivious to Ciel's glare, pointed out as it seemed simple to do for the RED Spy.
"This Spy has already breached our defenses…" The BLU Spy stated as it cuts to the running legs of the infamous RED Spy, who then quickly pressed himself to a wall of a tunnel near a BLU Engineer and his level three sentry gun before sliding a sapper at the sentry, disabling and destroying the machine.
"What is that device?" Velvet asked, as a part of her wanted to take a photo of this strange contraption with Anesidora, though her semblance would run the risk of acting like the Spy, which would be problematic for…various reasons.
"Appears to be some sort of generator designed to overload machines to the point of destruction." Penny surmised due to her having blueprints of multiple failsafes for various Atlesian technology in case of any major issues, though none of these failsafes were actually implemented or even created past the design phase.
"Overload? Aren't these things made to do a lot?" Yang asked, as she remembered how much those automatic guns could do so fast during the engineer video.
"Yes, but like everything else it has a limit, which these small devices were made to forcibly go beyond that for the purpose of malfunctioning the machine guns to ruination." Weiss explained, having heard of her father complaining how often the machinery for dust mining breaks down and force him to buy replacements, completely ignoring the fact that it's due to his unreasonable demand for mined dust as well as using the cheapest equipment.
"SENTRY DOWN!" The BLU Engineer yelled out as he cover his face from the explosion, giving the RED SPY the advantage as he takes aim while the Engineer struggles to get his pistol out, leading to the Spy headshotting the Engineer dead as the force of the bullet pushes the door open to reveal a sign cover in the blood of the Engineer's head. And as the Engineer's corpse falls down, it reveals the Spy stepping in to shoot another shot at whoever's beyond the doorway.
"Man, that is just brutal." Neptune winced from the sudden death. And while the deaths of the BLU Heavy in the Scout video, the BLU Demoman in the Sniper video, and those heads from the Soldier video may have more brutality, they had humor which this video and especially this death lacks.
"Given how much those machines can do, I'm not surprised he went aggressive when an opportunity is made." Pyrrha argued, as she even felt it would be highly unwise to confront the sentry head on, even if her semblance would not only counter the machine, but use it against the Engineer.
"Well it's not surprising that the invincible girl is supporting dominating battles." Neon cheekily teased
"Ah come on, it's not like anyone would just go on a full frontal assault on that literal murder machine." Jaune defended the champion, which made Pyrrha blissfully cheerful of her crush acting like he did in her dreams, even if it wasn't exactly how she imagined it would happen.
"I will." Nora responded with a defiant excitement in her tone.
"Well, Nora will." Jaune agreed, having grown used to Nora's behavior and antics.
"You've seen what he has done to our colleagues." The BLU Spy pointed out with a foreboding tone as the view goes back to the BLU briefcase room to show the corpse of BLU Sniper, before going back to when he was still alive and taking aim at a boarded-up window at an attic while the RED Spy is behind the distracted Sniper.
"Wait, they're friends?" A shocked Ruby blurted out, mostly because Spy acted a lot like Weiss, a fancy dressed brainy type with an ice cold attitude.
"Colleagues, that means co-worker Ruby." Weiss clarified with a bit of annoyance in her tone at her leader's lack of diction.
"Well it's still nice to give them a fancy name instead of just being boringly technical." Yang contended, even if she would prefer calling others by their name than with a tongue twister.
"Well it may be a way to make it personal to help stop the enemy Spy, his tone does suggest genuine empathy." Blake suggested, though given how skill the BLU Spy is, it may be a way to rally the team to better their odds. If he is the actually BLU Spy.
Unfortunately for the RED Spy, he stepped on a squeaky part of a floorboard, alerting the BLU Sniper to his presence and responding by swinging his rifle towards the Spy, who blocked it then kicked the Sniper to the boarded window.
"Man the Spy has quite the kick, don't he?" Sun complimented, wondering what kinds of workouts the Spy did for that kind of big boot attack with such a lanky frame.
"Pfft, kicks. Ain't nothing it can do compared to punches, like mine!" Yang boasted as she flexes her powerful biceps, the same ones that let her destroy a club and beat everyone up over there.
"Kicks do have the range and power advantage, as well as being considered much harder to break a foot than a fist." Penny apprised from her database of biology, anatomy, and the history of combative sports.
"Eh. Still like to punch more." Yang reiterated, not one to go fix what ain't broke, especially when there's a lot of broken things to fix in her life.
After getting kicked hard enough to break the boards, the Sniper recovers quickly enough to grab his kukri from a crate next to him and swing it wildly at the Spy, who avoids the screaming australians attacks before counterattacking with a swipe to the face that cut his left cheek, which made the Sniper check with his hand and shadeless eyes.
"Such a poor display of a battle stance, no wonder he died from the RED Spy." Weiss shook her head at the untrained and easy to counter slashes from the Sniper.
"Ah come on Ice Queen, it was the heat of the moment, he didn't get to have a 30 second break to get into position like ~someone else I know~." Yang sang out to the miffed heiress, having seen her obsessively practice her battle stance in team training.
"Was it really 30 seconds?" A chuckling Flynt asked, always happy to hear a little dirt about a Schnee.
"More like 10 seconds, but that's the sense of time for an impatient, punch-happy, 'jokester'" Blake answered sarcastically as Yang shrugged in acceptance of the mock insult, always accepting and taking pride in who she is as a person.
"I think I've seen that cut on Sniper before." Velvet remarked, her photographic memory bringing in the image of Sniper's face that distinctly has a scar the same shape and size as the cut shown here.
"Wait, how? The Sniper there is confirmed dead and they're stated to be all clones. Did they somehow give that cut to every Sniper or is that one still alive?" Fox questioned, very confused not only from the possibility of the Sniper still being alive, but from how one cut was considered damaging enough to stay on presumably forever compared to all the explosions, bullets, and other kinds of damage.
"Given how absurd that place has shown to present itself, it's rather tame for either option to occur in spite of how nonsensical it is to consider." Ciel responded, having given up in trying to make sense of this madness long ago, even if there are moments where she just can't help but be appalled at what she's seeing.
The Sniper then tried to take another swing at the Spy, only to be parried by his enemy before the Spy inflicts a cut to the gut painful enough to make the Sniper grip his abdomen, a cut to the skull that knocked off the Sniper's slouch hat as he reflexively bend his back forward, which gave the Spy the opportunity to end his opponent with a bloody backstab as Sniper screams in agony as he falls over the railing to his death while his killer rubs away the blood on his glove to his suit, staring at where the corpse had fallen.
"Aw, come on! You're ruining your own suit with all that smeared blood, and if you have the same level of appreciation for clothing I know you have, you just used thousands of dollars for a freaking handkerchief at best!" Coco ranted, enraged at such disregard for quality attire in a seemingly less fashion-forward world, especially for an outfit that would work really well for women who like to wear suits or for someone like Goodwitch wearing this outfit it would… give a lot of thoughts she'll save for later, because she's supposed to be mad at a ruined suit, not imagining peeling it off the deputy headmistress's body.
"Mad for an untidy suit, yet not so for a grisly murder. Quite the level of empathy you're showing, eh Coco." Fox sarcastically said to the fashionably bossy woman, knowing what her priorities were for so long, he wasn't really surprised that she would focus more on what's being worn than what most people would consider more important.
"Yeah, that's… that's not easy to ignore." Jaune said as he tried to keep his stomach from vomiting from the murder scene in front of him.
"Speaking of not ignoring, can we talk about how a stab to the back was lethal, or is there something fun about it that got lost in the usual boring stuff at school." Nora asked, as common sense says that one would go for the neck, head, heart, and groin when you want someone dead.
"Stabbing the backside of the body does have the risk of injuring the diaphragm, alongside the aorta and inferior vena cava which are the largest artery and vein in the body." Penny informed her fellow cheerful orange hair destroyer, though all the response she got from Nora was a tilted head in curious bemusement.
"A punctured diaphragm would obviously lead to breathing problems, while having either the aorta and inferior vena cava pierced would lead to severe blood loss and internally bleeding as well as lowering blood pressure that would lead to lightheadedness and fainting as shown with the Sniper." Weiss clarified in slight irritation at how Nora didn't understand what Penny clearly explained.
"Why would they call the largest vein inferior?" Nora questioned, with that being the only thing she seemingly paid attention to, which got Weiss miffed while Penny just seems as cheerful as she normally is on any day.
"And worst of all, he could be any one of us…" The BLU Spy warns as he looks around to see if any of the other BLU members have any signs of being the RED Spy in disguise.
"It's him, it's the BLU Spy, I'm calling it right now." Sun accuses as he points his finger at the suspicious man on screen.
"He would be the easiest person in the room to disguise as, though if that were the case, I can't fathom a reason as to why he would reveal his tryst to the other members." Ciel commented with a raised eyebrow, not just for the thought of Spy going as a blue version of himself but as well as how disguising as a member of the enemy team that's the exact same of your team would work.
"To put suspicion off himself, and since they are most likely going to die by his hand, it will at most be a temporary embarrassment if he couldn't just brush it off." Blake suggested with a blush at the recollection of the photos, giving how it brings up a certain chapter of Ninjas of Love where similar poses were made. But if anyone dares to say that spies are the same as ninjas, they better expect an earful of the clear differences between the two.
"To spite Scout for that 'fan club president' comment, especially since it was his actual mother." Flynt proposed, as he experienced how much a snide comment can make someone want to one up the insult game, even if it will shoot you in the foot in the long run.
"To show off his talent in bed." Yang flirtatiously purred with fluttering eyelashes at Ciel, who was not amused by her playful attitude, which just made Yang lean in more for her amusement before getting pulled back by Weiss and Blake.
"Ah gross! He could just not be there or hidden with that invisible thing that's like a semblance he used before getting smacked by the RED Soldier during his video." Ruby exclaimed in disgust at her sister's answer, trying hard to forget that just happened.
"Oh yeah, bet that's going to be shown off after this part of 'be any one of us' stuff." Yang anticipated as she cheekily rubbed the spot that Weiss had hit her for embarrassing the heiress with that flirty act.
"Raus, Raus!" A BLU Medic yelled out as he threw a wide swing at the RED Spy with his bonesaw, only to be blocked by the raised forearm of the Spy before it wrapped around the Medic's arm to break it.
"What is he saying?" Yatsuhashi wondered as while he could tell it was an urgent threat, there wasn't much to tell what it actually meant.
"According to the language of Old Atlesian prior to the unification of Remnant's language, the Medic is saying 'Get Out, Get Out!' at the Spy." Penny responded as she had been scouring through various dictionaries and historical documents to see any connections upon hearing the Medic shout his threat.
"Wait, the Medic can speak Old Atlesian?" Neptune asked in surprise, not expecting to hear an ancient dialect spoken by someone not even from Remnant.
"It's probably just a coincidence." Weiss waved off, not wanting to have any connection with that psycho, especially when her connection to her father has made her a target by association.
The RED Spy then transforms into an identical version of the BLU Medic without his glasses as smoke emits from his body.
"Nein…" The BLU Medic gasped out in shock before the RED Spy striked his neck with a chop, killing the Medic while knocking his glasses to the air before the disguised Spy catches and puts it on in an ominous manner.
"Oh, that is going to be a problem." Scarlet uttered upon seeing the Spy become a near identical version of the Medic.
"So not only can he hide out of literal sight, he can hide in plain sight as any one of them." Sage spoke as he shivered a bit at the thought of any space and/or item having an invisible or transformative Grimm.
"And with the moves the Spy pulled on the Medic as well as the Sniper, he doesn't need the knife to kill." Coco added in, knowing she would have trouble with the Spy if she doesn't find out where he is from a safe distance, which would be near impossible with his tricks.
"But even if the RED Spy isn't the BLU Spy or Scout, there's no way he can pull the same maneuvers on either the Heavy or Soldier unless he takes them out first, and there's still the problem of the remaining members closing in on him when he tries to kill one of them." Pyrrha reasoned, as without any manner of instant escape or immobilization, it's hard for her to imagine a scenario where the RED Spy attacks the group and gets the briefcase successfully barring any leaps of faith or glaring incompetence.
"True, every encounter with the RED Spy so far has been a one to one fight, ignoring the sentry gun and sapper interaction." Fox agreed with the invincible girl, not being the kind of person who would look at a four (or three) to one fight and believe the one would win, unless it's blatantly in the one's favor.
"But that's not to say it's impossible for the RED Spy to overcome this situation, given how he most likely has the advantage of surveillance if he's among them by either invisibility or disguise; as well as the paranoia making the BLU team be irrational, or in the case of Soldier and Scout, even more so." Blake explained, having seen many groups fall into disarray, whether it be members of the SDC wondering if anyone was a mole for the White Fang, or members of the White Fang questioning their fellow faunus of being leashed.
"Well that's a scary thought." Sun stated upon hearing Blake's reasoning, as while he's pretty sure he can take on the Spy one to one, having to guess if anyone or anywhere was the Spy is not his strong suit.
Cutting back to the BLU briefcase room, the BLU Spy continues on with his warnings. "He could be in this very room! He could be you! He could be me! He could even be–" But before he could finish the last sentence, his head was blown up in a bloody mess by a shotgun blast, eyeballs and brain matter flying out as blood shoots out his now fully-exposed neck with the gurgling of what would have been the Spy's next words.
"HOLY SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!" Coco yelled as her sunglasses fell out during her freak out at the exploding head.
"HIS HEAD JUST EXPLODED, HIS HEAD JUST EXPLODED!" Ruby shrieked out as she pulled her hood over her head to try to cover her sight of the gruesome kill, even if it's now going to be stuck in her memory.
"I didn't think the RED Spy was the type to use a shotgun." Ren said calmly, though even he was shocked by the sudden death of the BLU Spy with his eyes nearly popping out his sockets.
"HOW ARE YOU SO CALM RIGHT NOW, THAT GUYS NECK JUST GOT TURNED INTO A FOUNTAIN!" Neptune screamed while turning to see the comparatively placid Ren, with Nora and Jaune looking composed as well even though they're holding onto Ren sides, with Pyrrha looking astonished from the grisly scene.
"Like this." Ren replied as he brought an arm away from Jaune, before bringing his hand to the aquaphobe.
"Oh. That actually helps a lot, thanks Ren." Neptune said in appreciation as he suddenly felt a lot less stressed out, not just from this beheading, but in general as well.
"Yeah, that was- that was very much needed." Velvet agreed as Ren used his semblance on the group to help them mentally recover.
As for Ren, while he may be risking JNPR chances at the Vytal Tournament by using his semblance, something that many try to keep a secret as much as possible to use when they need an ace in the hole; He's not worried about that, since many would underestimate the power that a calm mind would bring in battle, and he'll only compete in the full team battle since JNPR agreed that Nora and Pyrrha would go in the duo battle before having Pyrrha in the final solo battles. He is worried that he may have to calm everyone down in beacon if anyone here blabs about it.
It turns out the one responsible for the killing shot was the BLU Soldier, who's holding a smoking shotgun with a grin on his face.
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa!" BLU Scout yelled out as he jumped back from the blast, clearly not expecting the interrupting murder as much as anyone would have.
"Oh." Was all the BLU Heavy could respond with in shock from the sudden kill, even when getting splashed with some blood and photos of the Scout's mom flying out the file and slowly falling around him.
"What! It was obvious!" BLU Soldier replied upon noticing the shocked reactions from the other BLU members before pumping his shotgun to eject the spent shell. "He's the RED Spy!" The Soldier claimed as Scout and Heavy looked at the corpse.
"I can understand his logic if it wasn't for his ability to disguise as any one of them." Ciel acknowledged, since without a disguise or invisibility semblance, one would have to invent a device to do so and keep it a secret to ensure its effectiveness.
"Well it's not just looks, but how they act as well. And since they're all clones, that does mean it would be the easiest to impersonate yourself because you just gotta act like how you normally are." Coco reasoned, knowing that if there was an exact copy of her, any deviation from her amazing self would clue the rest of CFVY and eventually the world that their greatest star has been replaced.
"True, but as we clearly see here, that's not the case since he would have changed back to his RED suit when he got shot." Weiss countered, since unless the disguise was a device the Spy activated with a sleight of hand, it appears to be activated by his mind, something the BLU counterpart is gorily missing.
"Is that how it works? It didn't say anything about how he could disguise without a semblance and we only just saw it happen with the Medic, so we basically have nothing to know and learn about." Ruby ironically recalled the fact that there wasn't much to recall.
"That's… actually a good point Ruby." Weiss complimented, feeling proud of her leader for really improving her capabilities not just as a fighter and leader, but as a strategist from team attacks to general information.
"Oh wow, I think the madness of these videos are really getting to us now." Yang jokingly responded upon seeing the icy heiress compliment her little sister, something she didn't think was possible from how much friction there was between them. It didn't get as bad as with Weiss and Blake, but it's a guaranteed second, so it's nice to see the team being an actual team.
"Oh wow, I think you're right, you actually told a funny joke." Weiss responded with an irked eyebrow, which got Blake and Ruby at the shot at Yang's terrible sense of humor, much to the brawler's shock of getting one-upped at one of her many specialties by Weiss.
"Look, he'll turn RED any second now." BLU Soldier claimed as he and Heavy walked up to the corpse of the BLU Spy, which still appears to be BLU.
"Any second now…" BLU Soldier insisted as he pokes the dead Spy's shoe with the barrel of his shotgun.
"Well congrats dumbass, not only did you kill your own teammate, you also took out the only one who had a chance of finding and killing the enemy Spy." Fox chided in exasperation, facepalming at the abrupt decision made by the Soldier to skip any sort of test to verify the Spy's identity.
"Unless the Soldier is the RED Spy, in which case that was an excellent maneuver to take out the biggest threat without revealing himself." Penny cheerfully praised the possibility of clever counterplay, unless the Soldier is real and did a completely uneducated move in a brash attempt to eliminate the Spy.
"Yeah that would be a great move on his part, but what if he was actually the Soldier, who has already shown to be a brutally crazy psychopath when those damn heads of his." Fox questioned, not convinced the Spy is the Soldier, given how he was the one to recieve the message in the first place.
"Can we not bring up the Soldier's heads collection, I'm still reeling from the exploding head here." Velvet asked, looking quite ill even after being treated with Ren's semblance.
"Apologies, it wasn't my intent to make you nauseous with the recollection of gruesome scenes of body mutilation such as but not limited to decapitation, blood bursting from the bodies, and the imagery of internal organs." Penny replied whole-heartedly, unaware that she's making the rabbit faunus look greener with the thought of gore brought in by the robot girl, much to the annoyance of the rest of team CFVY towards Penny, with Coco and Yatsu side-eyeing Fox for starting the conversation, much to the shame of the blind man for unintentionally making the shy girl feel worse even if she would most likely have no hard feelings for this.
"See? RED!" The Soldier yelled out with a grin upon seeing the hue of the enemy team, only for it to quickly drop. "Oh, wait… that's blood." The shotgun holder realized while from behind him and the Heavy, the Scout checked around the room with a serious look on his face.
"Idiot. Fucking idiot." Sage groaned out at such stupidity on display to the point of actually hoping that the Soldier would die next.
"So does that mean the disguise ability wears off on death?" Jaune speculated from what the Soldier said, even if that clearly means it should be taken with a pinch of salt.
"Maybe, but it doesn't answer how it activates or its properties in general." Pyrrha pondered as she tried to remember any details that could lead to any sort of explanation.
"Well it's not like we can take the Soldier's word on it, given how he mistook splattered blood for the red clothing of the RED team." Ren remarked, having learned to not consider the words coming from the Soldier ever since he smacked his grenades together in his speech.
"At least the Scout has the right idea, surveilling the area since they lost their best option in dealing with the RED Spy and how good that guy was with distracted targets." Neptune said appreciatively for the clever check around, especially given how smug and foolish he's been so far.
"Or are they?" Blake responded with suspicion, already knowing what the 'Scout' was actually doing.
The Scout then slowly approaches the other two members of BLU, who are still huddling over the corpse.
"So, we still got problem…" The Heavy noted to the Soldier as the Scout took out the RED Spy's closed butterfly knife.
"Big problem…" Soldier emphasized as the Scout flip opens up the bloody knife with a lot more expertise than before.
"Oh, it was the Scout." Sun said in realization upon seeing the disguised Spy flip the knife.
"Does that mean the RED Spy killed his son?" Nora asked with a wagging finger, shaming the Spy for committing filicide.
"One: Just because he's disguised as the Scout doesn't mean he killed him since the Spy disguised as the Medic before killing him. And two: Sleeping with his mom after Scout was born does not make him his dad." Scarlet explained, not wanting to deal with the iceberg that is theorizing who's related to whom, ever since he watched that show about the kid who only had one mom and visited some fansites only to see a mountain of parent theories alongside the usual coma ones that kind of burnt him out of the idea.
"How do you know those photos were taken after Scout was born?" Neon challenged as nothing shown in the photos or in that room could prove what year Scout's mom banged Spy. Aside from the Spy, but he's wearing a mask so he doesn't count.
"Because those photos would have been at least 18 years old by now if that was the case." Scarlet retorted, feeling a little agitated at the mischievous faunus, though not because she was a faunus, he wants to be very clear about that. She's just really annoying.
"If those photos were encapsulated and stored in the proper manner, which is most likely given how professional the Spy had shown himself to be, then it is possible for the photos to be preserved for the decades between the tryst if it had occurred before Scout's birth and now." Ciel responded, having learned the subject in case of needing an important document preserved asap without any electronic equipment nearby.
"But if those photos were taken about 18 years before and he was still wearing the mask, how long has he been in the mercenary business?" Ruby thought out loud, wondering if dad or Qrow were also spies, since if Spy is Scout's dad, he would be their age.
"Regardless of his relations, it would still be shocking to know that someone has been tracking you for almost two decades." Weiss told in an attempt to move past this unnecessary carnal conversation.
"Though it does make me wonder how much of his shock from the revealed photos was actually a genuine reaction." an amused Blake wondered at the thought of Spy actually making the same expression as he did while disguised.
"I imagine about eighty percent of the shock was real at the very least." Yatsu guessed, with the twenty percent mostly being from his presumably decades-long history as an assassin.
"Well, he's about to make those two a hundred percent shocked." Fox joked, ready to hear the next scene play out for all its dark humor.
"All right, who's ready to go find this Spy?" The Soldier asked as the Scout fades away to reveal they were actually the RED Spy, as the now undisguised mercenary flips the balisong into a stabbing position.
"Right behind you." The RED Spy answered, much to the gasping shock of the BLU Soldier and Heavy before it cuts away to the group shot while the sounds of stabbing and pained grunts are heard to punctuate the beat of the tune.
"Knew it." Fox stated, happy to be right about how surprised the Heavy and Soldier are.
"Risky move to respond to a person who just shot someone's head off on a guess." Yang told, as while she is the type to give a one liner with a beating (unless they really piss her off), she prefers to say them after she wins a brawl so that no one can take it as a chance to suckerpunch her, but that just makes any fight with her a lot more painful.
"From a position standpoint, the Spy does have the odds heavily in his favor, especially if the knife can consistently kill with a stab to the back." Ren deduced with attention to the details shown so far, not to mention the fact that this is about the Spy and the only other Spy just got killed.
"It's still a two to one conflict; he'll have about three seconds at most to finish before they turn the odds against him." Ciel said as she internally timed the total duration of Spy's opportunity, taking into account how long it would take to stand up and turn around to face a threat.
"From the sounds I'm hearing, it seems the Spy is winning quite handily." Pyrrha said as she tried to hear the sounds and separate the music from the stabs and groans.
"Wait a minute…Are those stabs happening at the same time as the music?" Flynt asked, timing the sounds of the pained grunts to the beat to find how close they are, if not exactly on beat.
"Is it really?" Jaune wondered as he tried to listen carefully as well, but couldn't really tell since the most he learned about music was how to play a bit of guitar.
"Wow, that's so cool." An amazed Nora exclaimed, having not known such fun little details in these videos when she was so caught up in the big reveal of who the RED Spy was.
After the group shot, it shows the scattered photos of the RED Spy and the BLU Scout's mother together on the floor before the Spy moves the more explicit ones away so that it only shows one that has the two holding hands while on a walk, which the Spy then picks up.
"Ah…ma petite chou-fleur." The Spy reminiscing said with a smile on his face as he looks at the photo, before walking away with the BLU briefcase as it pans down a bit to reveal the Soldier's corpse.
"Oh…giving us a second look at those photos, huh? How sweet." Coco eagerly said as she leaned in for a closer look of the intimate images, trying to focus more on Scout's mom's body and less on the Spy's.
"Aw, but look at that one in the middle, it's so cute and not so filthy to our eyes." Ruby gushed at the sight of the couple holding hands as they walked, showing that their relationship wasn't just about rubbing their bodies in the nude.
"Yeah, it is sweet to see that they have an actual relationship beyond the bedroom." Sun agreed, happy to see people make each other more complete with a loving connection, even if it makes losing them a lot harder on you when it happens.…But he's not going to get all worried about that, not when he's still got lots of fun times and adventures ahead of him.
"At least until she learns he killed her son, if he did do it." Neon commented, since unless the Scout makes a quick walk in at the end here, there hasn't been any sign to the BLU Scout's fate for either being alive or dead; And most would take offense to the murder of their children no matter how good of a lay they are.
"Wouldn't he want to at least take those other photos to destroy them or at least make sure that BLU doesn't have such scandalous items in their possession." Weiss questioned in confusion, knowing that such an event like that in a vital location would bring in an investigation to determine what had occurred for such a devastating loss, which would easily lead to the discovery of the explicit material.
"He does have their very important briefcase. That could be a lot more important given the security and alarms that went off for it." Blake mentioned as unless it's considered very important how he bedded Scout's mother over the literal point of having a locked briefcase room, which now that she thought about, has a lot of empty space and a complete lack of security inside the room itself after bypassing the door.
"Still, it would be better to take them alongside the briefcase, because that's just too much to leave behind for so many reasons." A blushing Velvet squeaked out after having seen the saucy photos again, feeling especially embarrassed since she uses a camera even if it's only used for emergencies due to the rare dust needed as ammunition.
"Hey, what did he say at the end there?" Nora asked, wondering if this is another moment of Old Atlesian being spoken.
"He said 'My little cauliflower' in Old Valean, which was a rare term of endearment when it was commonly spoken." Jaune answered, having a vague memory of how his parents had taught him and his sisters parts of the language.
"That is so adorable." Pyrrha gushed, though while a part of it was genuinely in admiration of the Spy and Scout's mom relationship, the majority was in the thought of Jaune saying the same to her in a similar tone, even if she didn't know what similarities she had with cauliflower and she would prefer if it was said in a different circumstance.
"Close, but you made one mistake, Arc." Coco interjected as a fellow native of Vale's historic families. "It's actually incorrect, as it should be 'Mon petit chou-fluer' because cauliflower is considered masculine for some reason."
"Maybe they don't do masculine/feminine terms for words, which would actually be very progressive of them if that's the case." Jaune suggested with a shrug, as no one could really verify if their version of Old Valean is an exact match to whatever it's called over there, at least not yet anyway.
"Well that's about the happiest note we could have ended on for this sort of lunacy, so let's move on to the next video." Ren stated as the next video was getting ready to play for either the Medic or the Pyro if it's a mercenary video.
"WAIT!" Neon shouted, bringing everyone's attention to the colorful faunus.
"What's wrong?" Sage asked with a raised eyebrow, a part of him suspecting a false alarm joke given how she's been acting so far in these viewings.
"Is this the first time we watched a video without it being an interview?" Neon asked, which gave the rest of the viewing group a pause to think for a moment, since this is the first time a mercenary has not specifically talked about who they are, even if it did make sense for a spy to not do that.
"…No, the Sandvich video was the first to not be shown in an interview." Neptune corrected, since all the sandvich did there was stay on a plate in the fridge before the Heavy ate half of it to help him beat the bloody shit out of Scout and Soldier.
"How would you interview a Sandvich?" Yang half-jokingly asked, as she knows that it's impossible to do it without being insane, but it would also be hilarious as hell to at least try it.
"You can't, and that's the end of this conversation." Weiss growled out to put a stop to this discussion before they seriously contemplated the act of interviewing a food item as anything beyond a childish charade.
And so the group finished the 'Meet the Spy' video, and are preparing to see whatever comes up in the next one.
And that's the Spy, where we see what we can't see and shouldn't have seen, for various reasons.
A funny thing I wanted to try was adding the 'Meet the Team, but it's Demoman' videos by Doctor Lalve (Great creator, by the way) to react to, starting with Sniper and continuing onward, but opted not to for one: being considered a bit much to try with the original videos, and two: preferring to either ask for permission or wait for enough time to pass before even attempting it.
See you later, where I'll give you all something you have been waiting for a long time, meine bewundernswerten betrachter.
