Plans Of A Base

Engineer put down the tenth book he read from midnoon about Equestria and sighed. He knows that they would need a proper base soon, like how Coaltown was built. Long passageways, holes to knock the enemy into for eternity, so on and forth. He has been reading about the region around Ponyville. Ponyville was a recent settlement, one of the closest settlements to Canterlot, Equestria's capital.

Engineer got out of his seat on the floor and walked toward the dining room. There, was Heavy, making sandviches for a quick snack. Engineer found sandvich delicious, in an incident where Heavy took his bacon one day, maybe like this:

"It was a food exchange."
He thought to himself.
"Cause' that's what he gets."
Heavy grabbed some bacon, and stuffed it into the sandvich. Engineer licked his lips, at the sight of bacon.
Heavy turned around, and said,
"Engi! Come have some!"
Engineer nodded.
They both took a bacon sandvich, and munched on it, Heavy making a Om-Nom-Nom noise.
"Whew, that was delicious!"
"Da, is good thing."
Engineer waved to Heavy and went back to the libary section.
He continued reading.

Meanwhile... Somewhere in Ponyville...

Scout and Rainbow Dash continued to have a series of races to see their skills, and mostly, speed.
"Ha! Eat my Dust!"
Dust whooshed into Rainbow Dash as Scout drank some Bonk! Atomic Punch!, and ran off, parkouring like a boos onto the rooftops.
"Oh, no you don't!"
Rainbow Dash said as she flew towards Scout.
Faster and Faster she went.
"Almost... gotcha'!
SLAM!
The two collided, and fell to the ground.
Now at the edge of Ponyville, near the Everfree Forest, they got up.
"Ha! Beat ya!
"Nope! Ya' eat my dust! I win!"
"No, you didn't!"
All that noise attracted some timberwolves.
"Run! Its the timberwolves!"
Scout just snorted, and grabbed his scattergun from his amazing huge backpack.
"Lets do this."
Rainbow Dash stopped midflight, and shouted at scout
"What are you doing?Run!"
"No way!"
A timber wolf pounced at scout from the darkness.
"Whoop!"
Scout juked the wolf, and shot it twice.
Wood fell to the floor, the timberwolf whining in pain.
Scout grabbed a Crit-O-Cola and drank it, making him faster (A bit) and crit hits are real.
The scattergun spat out crit bullets, ending the timberwolve's life.
Rainbow Dash was horrified at the death of a creature in Equestria.
"You just killed a timberwolf!
"Well, he was going to kill me or somethin'.."
Distracted, a timberwolf managed to scratch scout.
Scout got enraged, double-jumped in the air, pulled out his Strange Sandman, and hit the ball.
BONK!
The timberwolf was stunned, and scout bashed it into pieces.
Ding!
"Looks like I got another kill for my sandman."
Rainbow Dash was amazed at the fight.
"OK, scout, we're even."
Scout smiled, and grasped Rainbow Dash's hoof it warmly.

Back at the Castle...

Engineer put down the 20th book and stopped.
"Whew! Time to move that gear up!"
Engineer ran to the kitchen where he left all his stuff and backpack and grabbed it.
He ran around the castle, looking for Heavy.
He found Heavy joking with Pinkie Pie in the map room.
"Heavy!"
"Wat?"
"We gotta' move that gear up!"
"Da!"
Heavy waved goodbye at Pinkie Pie.
"Good times with little pink horse!"
"That was fun!"
Engineer and Heavy ran to find Medic, Soldier, and Demoman.
They both found them at the front of the castle, Demoman and Soldier having an arm wrestle tourment.
"Guys!"
Everyone looked at engineer.
"We've gotta move that gear up and build us a base!
"Ja!"
"Sir, Yes Sir!
"Yes!"
"Get to it!"
Engineer motioned them inside and back to the libary.
There, he set down his gear.
He managed to find a spare blueprint just in case of a new killing machine or somethin'.
"Well, I've never used it."
Engineer thought to himself.
The men started planning out their base with Engineer's help from the books.
Of course, soldier said:
"You're a smartass, grease monkey."
The engineer just grinned.
Twilight Sparkle walked in, and saw the men huddled together.
"Hi guys, what are you doing?"
"Miss Twilight, we are clearly planning a base for us, so that ve dont have to stay in ze castle , your castle."
"Okay."
Twilight stayed with the men to provide more information to help them build their base. Well, more like learn about their building styles.
"This is amazing! I'm so excited to learn more from you humans!"
Twilight squealed.
Heavy grinned, while Engineer and Medic facepalmed.
"Well, plans are set! Lets Go, Go, Go and move that gear out!"
The men assembled outside, and went into town.
Heavy grabbed a wagon and pulled it with the help of soldier. They followed Demoman,Engineer, and Medic around town pulling the wagon of increasing supplies.
In went:
Some leftover pieces of wood.
Two small metal frames.
5 buckets of sand.
5 buckets of gravel.
5 Empty wooden crates.
A rusty old lock.
2 pony-sized hammers.
2 pony-sized shovels.
3 sets of rusty horseshoes.
Two logs.
2 Hoses.
Broken Brush handle.
And an empty chest(Wood with iron frame.)
"This is enough for now."
Engineer said.
Heavy and Soldier sighed in relief as they stopped at their destination; a fresh plot of grass.
"Well, lets get to it!"
Demo said as they cheered.
