//------------------------------// // this means WAR! // Story: the WAR! is over now what? // by heavy weapons brony //------------------------------// The Soldier dived through the portal into the main room of Twilight's library where she and her five friends lay huddeled over the broken scottsman. "How's he doing"? Soldier asked Twilight who had the Demo's chest surrounded in her magic. "i'am afraid not so well..his vitals are fading..and i just don't posses spells powerful enough to.....what is that? Twilight said pointing a hoof at the gun with a backpack attached to it reminding her of a sceiance fiction movie of her youth..Ghostbuckers. "this is a magic we posses called...techmallogie!" Soldier said pointing the gun at the Demoman letting the glowing heal beam attach to his broken friends body. "Here somebody hold this lever back" Soldier said calmly putting the medigun down on a nearby chair letting fluttershy hold the leaver back with her mouth. Soldier feld a pit in his stomach as he nelt but the Demos makshift bed, a spare mattress ripped from the closet, and started choking up. "Demo..you skirt whrilling drunk...you one eyed crossdresser...you englishman with a dress....for years i wanted you dead..and now that it might happen....i miss when we where freinds...i would give anything for things to go back...back to what they where well...Demoman....im sorry..im sorry for ever agreeing to kill you...i should have made them drag me out to the gravel pit and shoot me...heck..i should make them do it now..powers that be knows i derserve it..its just...why did you tell them?...my secret...i was so angry....and after i won the WAR! for the first time...i was sad, and i questioned what i did, for the first time in my life, Demo.... im sorry" Solder took off his helmit and laid it beside Demo..stood at attention...and gave Demo a salute..then doubled over and tried to hide his sobbing. Demo's hand lifted and landed on Soldiers gunboats, all the ponys gasped in suprise, Soldier failed to noticed through his light sobbing. "Quit yer blubbering ya wee little girl, i ain't going nowhere!" Demo uddered in a strained voice. Solder's face lit up and he lifted Demo in a hug, "OOOOWwwwWW!!" Demo issued in pain, then out of instinct Soldier dropped Demo who issued another cry of pain as he crashed back on the mattress followed by some stomach churning nosies issued by the now further broken arm. "Sorry about that, Soldier" Soldier said embarrased scratching the back of his head, then donning his hemit. "Thats okay, ya blasted ijet!! as long as ya ment all those sweet things about me" Demo said "I did, every word, i don't know what it is but ever since we where taken here and stoped fighting, i can't help remembering what it was like when we where friends...and how much fun we had, you where the only friend i ever had Demo, and i missed that" Soldier said in a sorrowful tone. "Alright then, so what was this aboot me tell'n yer secret? Demo asked "Well that how this all started, the adminstrators goons showed me footage of you telling my secret to them.. i was so mad, thats why i agreed to kill you, but none of that matters now! i forgave you so we could be freinds again" Soldier answered. "Ach! What? i never told them yer secret! i was thinking, maybe the Admistraitor pulled one over on us!! cuz i always questioned what they told me, that you just "agreed to kill me" i always took you for more integity that that, but when you started attacken me, i thought ms. pauling was telling the truth, but NOW yer tellin me YOU where attacking me cuz i spilt the beans on yer big secret, i think we've been tricked" Demo said standing up now that all of his wounds where healed, Fluttershy let the medigun drop to the floor. Soldier thought over Demos speech for a long time "Demo i belive you are right!" Soly said with a hint of anger. "So that means" Soldier said, voice with a hint of happiness "Nobody betrayed Nobody, we've been freinds this whole time!" Demo said reaching out his hand. Soldier looked down, a balloon of happiness rising in his chest, and grabbed Demos hand and shook it, both beaming proudly. Twilight and Rarity both gasped in shock, the two mercs turned to see both Twilight's and Rarity's horn fizzing with raw magic energy arcing all over the place then a blinding light appeared blinding all who where in the room. "Well, it seems the powerful friendship that i sensed die so long ago has been restored" Princess Celestia said with a proud tone, "you two humans, from a world filled with war and violence, stand before me as friends, the most powerful magic anywhere." "Yes ma'am" Soldier said snapping to attention "Eye lass, we relised we where always friends, we where duped into giving up the best thing that ever happened to us" Demo said in a respectful tone. "Who whould make two good freinds seprate? and for what reason?" Celestia asked. "the Admistrator, bet the lass would be worried we would betray her, dona worry princess we got an idea for when we return so this dosen't ever happen again" Demo answered. "Well, thats good to hear, now not only did you restore your freindship, you also saved all of ponyville from the ursa major, its late now but tomarrow we can get started. "get started on what?" Demo asked. "Onyourthanksforsavingourbaconfromthebigscarymonsterwhichisgoodbecausewereallylikeourbacon!!!" a pink pony yelled with excitement. The next morning Celestia called all of ponyville to honor their guests. "My little ponies! the first time you saw these creatures they attacked me, and displayed high amounts of violence. however they proved to be friends to ponykind my saving two young fillies and vanquishing the horrible ursa major to the skies forever, also these two have reforged one of the strongest friendships i've seen in all of history and for all this, i am proud to bestow equestrias highest honor! the equetrian medal of honor!. Celestia annocened to the crown below the stage, all the ponies stomped their hooves in celibration as Twilight used magic to sling medals over both of the merc's necks. a gold medal with a sun on the front and a moon's on the sling of the medal. After the honor cerimony the merc's rode through town in Celestia's royal cart with the princess sitting behind them waving at the inhabidents of ponyville while fireworks exploded in the sky while pegisi threw glitter and ticker tape everywhere, on the street little fillies and colts ran through the streets wearing painted mixing bowls and wool caps and eye patches, and outfit combonation that would mean friendship for genrations to come. The parade ended back at the center of town, both merc's got back on stage as Celestia said it was time to return them to thier world, then she opened the portal and both merc's turned and walked backwards. waving and saying their goodbyes at the cheering crowd of ponyville while the crowd shouted back thier own cries of graditude and thanks of thier own. In a flash the cheering ended and the two friends looked at eachother, both where covered in ticker tape and glitter with a big gold medal around thier neck. "Well? be seeing tomarrow lad!" the Demo man said happily streaching out his hand. "Can't wait!" the soldier said backed returning Demo's handshake Both mercs left the shed, it was still night out just like it when they left and both entered the respected bases. Soldier opened the door to his base with a gigantic smile under his helmit, that quicky dissapeared when he heard a angry voice shout at him. "Dummkopf!!!!" a disgruntuled medic yelled. Soldier turned to see medic tapping his foot while wearing a bath robe with a big bruise on his cheek and blood flowing from his nose, the look on his face matched the one he had that one day when he ubercharged heavy but the enemy pyro airblasted him off a cliff, pure anger and frustation. "vould you please tell me vere my medigun has skampered off to? Medic asked in a very calm, unnerving tone. "zen while you're at it tell me, vhot happened to my face??!! the medic yelled, fuming with anger. "Well its like this doc" Soldier started with the events of two nights before. the next day The Admistraitor sat in her seat, luming over the many monitors of fort doublecross. "the enemy has our intelligence!!" she would shout to the BLU team while pluging her mic into the RED team and yelling "we have the enemy intelligence!!" then she notice a particulair monitor with an image of the BLU Soldier with his foot on the corpse of a freshly killed RED Demoman yelling "Scotland is not a real country!!, you are a englishman with a dress!!" The Admistraitor lit a cigrette and grew a devilish smile, proud that the plan for the WAR! went off with out a hitch. The BLU engineer dropped his PDA letting it hang from the wires connecting it to the survellance camera in the BLU base, "well Soly that should about do it! i looped feed from footage from all of our previous battles i dowloaded from the TF indistries database, to her it should look like where fighting like normal. "Thanks Engie!" soldier said with appreciation. "Now if you dont mind i gotta help Medic build a new medigun, funny i found him in out courtyard with a nasty bump on his head" Engie said with wonderment, "He dosent remember a thing from last night." "He was probabbly sleepwalking, it happens to doctors i hear." soldier said back. 'Yeah well im just glad we have a day off, hope RED teams having fun, not a bunch a bad folks when there not shooting at us" Engie said walking up the stairs to Medics room. "I compleatly agree" soldier said with agreement has his best friend rounded the courner. "So Demo what are we going to do tonight?" Soldier asked. Demo held up to tickets to todays badlands brawlers game and smiled. "what ye wait'n around here for? lets go!" Demo said with enusiasim. Both friends walked towards the secret exit out of the base while Soldier put his hand around Demos sholders. "theirs one thing i don't understant though" Soldier said with concern. "What?" Demo inquired. "If you didn't tell the Admistaitor about my secret, who did?" Soldier asked. Demo rolled his eyes, their was only one person to blame to avoid a argument. "Oi wasen't in dem squrirrels that you say is always plotten agaist ya?" Demo answered "OF COURSE!!! those monsters are always against me!! gasp! i told my heads to watch out for them!! those lazy severed heads!! i'll boot them right out of my training program for this!!!" Soldier yelled to the heavens.
