Map: Badwater Basin. Payload.

[hands_of_blu]

BLU operations in the area have met with horrific resistance from RED of late. Steps, as they say, had to be taken. When the intelligence reports last filched from under RED's nose indicated the RED team had concentrated vast quantities of infrastructure in a single location accessible by rail from an old, forgotten BLU listening post...

Well. Who are the BLU field operatives to ignore an opportunity dropped in their lap?

Time for some serious mayhem.

There's a chrrrmmmm noise from behind. Mia may notice that she's suddenly starting to feel a lot better. If she turns and looks behind her, she'll find that Medic's stepped away from the cart and is pointing the nozzle of that big blue backpack he always wears at her. The swirling blue energies it emits don't seem much concerned with traveling in a straight line, but the link is there- and will stay there until she's not only healed, but rather better than healed. A freshly pumped-up Pyro will definitely make RED's day that much worse.

He gets a nod of salute from her and a mumbled, "Thanks!" But she never knew doctors could do that. It's closer to something Jessica would do than the doctors at home.

And now feeling more than refreshed, they continue through the tunnel, another air blast after Mia's confident they've passed the end of the-

OH FUCK, THAT WAS A SHOT! DAMN SENTRY GUN!

"Scheisse!" The Medic flattens himself against a tunnel wall. "Herr Soldier! I sink we haf need of your rockets!"

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

Teja lifts the rocket launcher onto his shoulder, steps out from behind the cart, and shoots into the dark where the shot came from.

If he is hit, he can be healed like their small comrade with the mask was, or remade, and catch up with them.

You mean like that other BLU Pyro that's just joined them from the rear?

That's right, you imbeciles. You all just keep focusing on that turret up there while the Spyro gets behind whoever's in the rear.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

There's a very satisfying fa-thoom! from up ahead, and the sound of an angry Engineer running down with his wrench in hand. "Anozzer one, I sink," says the Medic, glancing briefly over his shoulder before looking ahead once more. What? It's a Pyro. There's always Pyros.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[ostro_goth]

Teja shoots another rocket, quickly, at the same target. It seems to be working.

The recoil from the rocket launcher is entirely something else; but he can stand it, just as he could stand catching spears with his shield that flew at him with their momentum yet unspent.

It is the same bracing of the spine against the slam of incoming force.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

The sentry gun is history, and the splash damage means there's an angry Engineer up ahead with his shotgun ready. "Oh, I am gonna lay you out," the Texan snarls, and starts firing.

(The Medic has been through this before. Teja gets to be on the receiving end of a medigun beam now. Mostly so that Medic doesn't take the Engineer's hits, but still.)

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[ostro_goth]

Teja gets out his own shotgun, aims at where the fire is coming from, and starts firing, also.

He does not doubt the beam which the Medic is turning on him; it would be some sort of support, would it not?

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[vance_prime]

The Medic is focused on the Soldier, and the Soldier is focused on the enemy Engineer.

Nobody's paying much attention to either of the Pyros.

Or to the girl in the RED Scout uniform crouched on the cliff up above.

At least, not until she jumps off the cliff with a roar of rage, baseball bat at the ready, aimed directly at Mia's head.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[gorgonfondness]

Mia tries firing upward, but it takes too long and now she's got a Scout on top of her. That she's....already killed? It's disorienting enough that by the time she tried to fight back, she's taken one too many hits already. She's done for.

At least until she respawns with a vague, "What?" Guess this world is more like hers than she thought.

She starts to make her way back, her mind slowly starting to wonder why she was attacked when there were two BLU Pyros...

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[ostro_goth]

Teja shoots again at the RED engineer ahead, then turns and shoots his shotgun at the fierce RED fighter with the large club.

Who charges men armed with fire-arms with a club??

He shoots again, for this must be a berserker, and they will not stop, even if they are mortally wounded.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[vance_prime]

They will, however, stop if their hit points run out.

Which hers have done, thanks to that second shotgun blast.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

"Well done, Herr Soldier!" calls the Medic. "Now hold still und I can finish healing you, ja?"

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[ostro_goth]

"Yes," Teja says, nodding tersely.

Finish healing, replace the two rockets he has fired, move on.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

The real BLU Pyro's down and out, thanks to that Scout, and the Soldier and Medic are standing still?

Spy could not ask for a better opportunity.

The BLU Spyro trots casually forward, disguise breaking only when his knife stabs out towards the Medic's back.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[ostro_goth]

Teja turns, sees somebody stab the Medic in the back, and swings his shovel around, aiming for the backstabbing figure.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

Crapcrapcrap. This is precisely why you attack when their attention is captivated elsewhere.

The RED Spy takes the hit and staggers back, cloaking as he does so. It takes a full second for it to conceal him completely and he has no qualms about fleeing back down the tunnel, hugging the right wall.

As soon as he's disappeared proper, though, he steps to the left and starts working his way back towards Teja.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[ostro_goth]

"Are you well?" Teja asks the Medic, keeping on reloading the rocket launcher, and the shotgun, as he is at it.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[hands-of-blu.livejournal.com]

That's not really going to work. The thing about backstabs is that the Spy has learned to make them... well, pretty much instantaneously lethal.

Medic's busy respawning; it might take a while before he gets back to the rest of the group. Better watch out, guys.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

Spy carefully moves to the back of the soldier, keeping his footsteps quiet.

It's a BLU Medic that drops out of cloak behind him, just in case Teja turns around before he can stab.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[ostro_goth]

"You are well, then?" Teja says, seeing the Medic reappear.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

Spy freezes for a moment. The man saw him decloak and isn't trying to kill him?

Must be from Milliways. He's starting to like that bar more and more.

"Ja, ja, I vill be fine. I chust need to rest a moment." The Medic leans against the wall a bit.

"Vhy don't you scout ahead a bit und make sure zee vay iz clear?"

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[ostro_goth]

Teja nods at him, then moves on ahead, to secure the way for the Heavy with the cart.

Re: CRY SOME MORRRRRRRE

[uncloakndagger.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is too easy. He loves it!

SpyMedic follows along behind the soldier, grinning from ear to ear.
