I tried to make JD and Varie more bearable, now in an environment they don't recognise at all. I also tried to write in JD's style, but added a little more oomph. Hope you liked it! :D If I get anything wrong, then let me know, and I can tweak some stuff! ^^ (I'm currently on Chapter 124. No spoilers!) This is my first fanfic, so go easy on me! (Implied Scout x Sniper and semi-implied Jessie x Ember?)
Jessie, Lincoln, Linka, Lisa, Lilly, and Ember are in the control room. I'm in the simulator with Varie.
Me: Where am I? I don't think I've seen this place before…
It seems to be a sort of battlefield. And a big one at that.
Me: I sense a disturbance in the-
?: MEEEDIIIICCC!
A grown man in a red uniform bowled into me, knocking me to the floor.
Me: …force…
He stood up, raising an eyebrow.
?: Hey, who the fuck are you?! We don't allow kids into Fortress!
I didn't seem to recognise the man's accent.
Me: My name's JD Knudson. This is my fiance, Varie.
Varie: It's a pleasure to meet you.
?: Tch. You look 15. That's impossible!
He had crossed his arms, scoffing.
Me: Well, we really love one another! We're gonna get married when we're older!
Varie: Yeah!
?: Whatever. MEDIIIIIIICCC!
We looked at one another, then him.
Me: Are you hurt?
?: Yeah, I broke my leg after a damned BLU Spy pushed me over.
Varie: Let me have a look.
She took a step forward.
?: Hell no! You're just a kid! I need an actual Medic, and he's here somewhere…
Varie: Please, I can help you.
Varie gave him a firm look. I did too. The man sighed.
?: Fine. You can.
She knelt down, and used her water powers to heal it.
?: How'd ya do that?
Me: It's one of her powers.
He blinked, before cracking a weak smile.
?: Thanks…I guess…
Varie: Can you tell us where we are?
Scout: Oh, uh, sure. The name's Scout, and I work for RED. I'm currently fighting against BLU.
He saluted, still a little confused.
Me: Why are you fighting them?
Scout: Well, The Administrator tells us to!
He pointed to one of the speakers.
Varie: Who's The Administrator?
Scout: Oh, she's a very powerful lady. Tells us all what to do.
He put his hands on his hips.
Me: If you're a team, where are the others?
I raised an eyebrow.
Scout: Currently out fightin'! I should probably get back to doin' it as well!
He dashed off.
Varie: Well, that was weird.
Me: Yeah, come to think of it, why are we here?
Varie: I don't know. I think we put the simulator on random.
Me: Hm. So we're here without a goal?
I casually stepped out of the way of a bullet's fire.
?: HEY! GET OUT THE WAY, KID!
We turn to the noise, seeing a man, yet again in RED uniform, this time wearing a helmet.
?: THIS IS NOT A DAYCARE!
Me: Sorry, Mister!
I moved away from the line of attack. Varie side-eyed me.
Me: What? I listen to the military!
Varie: No, I'm looking at them!
A figure in a gas mask sat on the ground, holding onto what seemed to be a small unicorn stuffy.
?: PYRO! GET BACK TO WORK! WE DON'T PAY YA TO SLACK, MAGGOT!
The man in the helmet yelled. The person stood up, nodded, and hurried off, flamethrower in hand.
Me: Hello, sir, you are?
Soldier: THE NAME'S SOLDIER! AND I AM THE LEADER OF THIS REGIME!
?: Zhat's not official!
A voice offscreen called out.
Soldier: OH, SHUT UP, SPY!
Meanwhile in the control room.
Ember: Ughhhh, that looks so cool! Why didn't I come with?!
Lincoln; You didn't ask!
Ember: Yeah, because I thought it was gonna be another boring Naruto mission!
Laney: I didn't find them boring!
Ember: Yeah, that's because you find everything interesting!
She crossed her arms, not in a good mood that day.
Lisa: Excuse me, otherworldly comrade. We must focus on the matter at hand?
There was an odd silence.
Ember: I hate you.
She grumbled.
Back in the simulator, we were now dressed in RED uniforms, and had been given a quick briefing of the mercenaries we were fighting alongside and against.
Me: Is this really necessary?
Soldier: YES! WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET! BLU IS RUTHLESS!
Varie: Yeah, but what about peace?
Soldier's eye twitched, before he took a deep breath.
Soldier: Saxton give me strength…
He murmured, before clearing his throat.
Soldier: YOU HEARD ME! OUT!
The man booted us into the line of fire.
Me: Rude!
Varie: He's just doing his job.
We headed out, ready to fight.
Me: Dang it! I left the Magisword at home!
Varie: Sweetheart, you have alot of other powers!
Me: Oh, yeah.
I use the force to fling a BLU Heavy away from our supposed Medic.
Medic: Ach, vhat are you beings? Are you vorking with Mersamus?!
He pointed at us, horrified.
Medic: GET AWAY FROM ME!
Varie: No! Calm down! We don't even know what a Mersamus is!
Me: Yeah, we don't mean any harm! Apart from fighting BLU!
Medic: Oh…
The German paused.
Medic: Thank Gott!
He sighed in relief.
Me: Soldier told me he was a bit kuckoo, but I didn't expect him to be like that!
Varie: Hey, go easy on him. Must be hard having to fight all the time.
She put a hand on my arm.
Me: You're right. Let's just keep fighting!
And so, we fought with our lives, using our combined powers to attack BLU, who were frankly getting frustrated with the fact we kept killing them over and over again.
BLU Sniper: HEY! MAKE SENTRIES FASTER!
BLU Engineer: I'M TRYIN'!
Me: Sorry, guys. But it's our duty to try and stop you!
Varie: Yeah, no hard feelings, right?
We turn to Demoman, who threw a stickybomb at the pair.
Demoman: TAKE THIS, LADS!
BANG!
They both flew back from the impact.
BLU Sniper & BLU Engineer: SCREW YOUUUUU!
We both high fived Demoman.
Demoman: Not bad, kids. Maybe ya can fight alongside us for real when ya older!
Me & Varie: We'll try!
It was now the evening, orange skies beam down on us like a well deserved break. Us and the RED team were cheering. It felt like an amazing day.
Scout: Gotta hand it to ya. That was cool!
Varie: You guys did great too!
Me: Yeah, couldn't have done it without you and your team!
Sniper: Well, we're gonna go inside.
He ruffled Scout's hair with a smirk.
Scout: Oi!
The man blushed, sticking his tongue out at him.
Soldier: YEP! OUR MEN ARE AT EASE ONCE AGAIN!
Me: I thank you once again for giving us this opportunity!
We shake hands.
Varie: We must get going now, but I hope we can see you another time?
Soldier: Hope so, kid.
She smiled.
Varie: Neat!
Me: Well, time for us to go!
And so, we headed back into the vortex, taking us back to the simulator.
Me: Guys, guess wha-
We surveyed the room. It was a mess.
Varie: Lisa! What happened?!
Lisa: It appears Ember suffered from Intermittent Explosive Disorder. Street name, Anger Issues. She's calmed down now, but we can't use the simulator for a while now.
Ember was sitting on the floor, fists clenched, as Lilly and Jessie comforted her.
Ember: It's not fair…I wanted to go in…
Jessie: You could join us next time, Ember.
She gave her a hug, making the girl freeze up, before reluctantly hugging her back with a blush.
Ember: I guess.
We all helped clean up.
THE END
I wanted it to seem JD and Varie worked alongside RED, instead of it being a one man job. Teamwork makes the dreamwork ig. I own none of these characters, but I love TF2, and I'm reading LHR. That's it, really.
