	Scout lifted his head and sniffed the air of oil, smoke, fires, and robot parts. "At least those robots got owned! Now I can go back to see my ma. I'm tired of this."  
Scout strolled into the Upgrade room/Respawn Room in Coaltown. Heavy was singing a Russian tune, as he packed Sandvich into a lunchbox. Medic was feeding his pet bird, Archimedes. Engineer walked around the room, looking for a blueprint necessary for building a dispenser. Demo carried a crate full of scrumpy.
"Hello, little baby scout!" Heavy said in a loud, rough, voice. 
"Good." Scout said in a plain voice. 
"Vat is wrong, Scout?" Medic said. 
"Well..." Scout said, then stopped abruptly. He then ran outside, passing by soldier. 
"Where are you going, little maggot?" Soldier shouted. Scout just kept running towards the area where the battle against the robots were taken place.  

"Vat is wrong with ze scout?" Medic asked. 
"Err... homesick?" Soldier said. Engineer just had a painful thought and found his blueprint. 
Demoman just said, "Maybe he wants to see his ma'." before putting the crate on the ground. Engineer walked next to the bomb deployment area. 
He sighed, thinking "If Scout wants his ma, well, ah', good luck to good ol' Scout."

Meanwhile... At Canterlot

Princess Celestia was happily sitting on her throne, guarded by two solar guards, one on each side of the throne. She then got up and looked out the window. A Unicorn was walking around, and picked up a stone with green magic covering her horn. 
"Is that... A changeling?" It faced at Celestia and shot the stone at Celestia with a grin on its face. Princess Celestia took immediate action, and using her magic, levitated the rock with her magic to stop the rock in midair from breaking the window and . But by then, it was gone. She then turned to the solar guards standing by her throne, discovering that they were gone. 
A solar guard then bursted in. "Princess Celestia! There has been reports of changelings attacking civilians on their own!" Princess Celestia nodded, and dismissed the guard. Suddenly, some thumps was heard, and a snap of a spine echoed around the entire castle. 
"Got it, Princess Celestia!" the solar guard said painfully. The guard then walk away with pain in his back. She then, was first scared when she heard the solar guard's spine crack, then calmed down. She took a deep breath, and started to use her magic to preform a teleport spell.

Back in Coaltown, somewhere in the USA deserts...

Scout was sitting on the wooden edge of the building that faced the spot where the tank carrier was originally there. 
"My Ma.." he said silently. He then heard a ringing, and a bright yellowish light/aura started to enclose Scout in this aura. 
"What the fu-" Scout said, interrupted by a pop which teleported  him to Equestria.
