"Are you almost done?" asked Roadhog, considerably irritated with Junkrat taking his sweet time with placing the explosives on the lab door.
"Hey, I need to make sure the bombs are good and snug. Don't want them to fly off the door at us." stated Junkrat as he fiddled with the last bomb. "Besides, I gotta make sure they are in perfect boom condition." Roadhog sighed in disbelief, due to the fact that he still couldn't understand what the deal was with Junkrat's obsession with explosions. "Okay, It's ready." stated Junkrat, hobbling over to Roadhog with a C4 detonator on his hand as he pushed Roadhog behind a large rock. "Fire in the hole!" screamed Junkrat as he clicked the button on the detonator. Soon after that, a loud kaboom was heard, as shrapnel from the heavily armored door flew out, accompanied by a ton of smoke. As the smoke cleared, all that remained of the door was a large hole. As they went inside, they drug Roadhog's ramshackle chopper in behind them. Inside was a large room with tools strewn about everywhere. In the near middle of the room was a large flat disc-shaped object, with a ramp attached to it. Junkrat and Roadhog pushed the chopper onto the pad. Near it was a tablet on a stand with the label: Super Teleporting Atomizer Relay Galactic And Temporal Electronic System. Junkrat looked at the destination selected, but couldn't make out what it said. Scratching his chin, Junkrat reached his hand toward the On switch.
"Don't do it, Junkrat. You don't know what that does or how to work it." warned Roadhog while he was repairing his chopper.
"Well, let's find out then, shall we?" replied Junkrat as he flipped the switch and ran back over.
Soon, a robotic voice came on over the intercom. "Activating teleportation pad. Objects total weight: 1610 lbs. Power level: 100%. Commencing space-time warp now." Soon, the giant ring behind them became energized as a portal began to form in it. As the Australian twosome turned around, the portal sucked them in, with the chopper close behind. After they went through, the portal closed behind them.
The sky was clear in Equestria. Celestia's sun shone bright over the colorful landscape. It was a perfect day for a picnic, and Twilight Sparkle had capitalized on these conditions by inviting her friends to a picnic at a spot near the edge of Everfree forest. When everyone had gotten to the picnic spot, everyone started to make small talk about what was on their minds when Pinkie's tail started to shake. Seeing this, everyone looked towards the sky to see a large blue ball of energy plummeting it's way towards Everfree. Curiosity got the better of them as they went toward where the object crash landed.
Meanwhile,inside Everfree forest, sat Junkrat, Roadhog, and their chopper, the both of them looking at their surroundings. They then looked at each other... before they started arguing. "I told you that you shouldn't touch that." yelled Roadhog obviously angry at Junkrat. "That device could've killed us both, or turned on the defense system, or worse! What the hell were you thinking?!"
"Ahh, but it didn't happen. Still though, is it just me, or does this place look like a girls cartoon?" stated Junkrat.
"I can't believe I'm agreeing with you on this, but yeah, it does." replied Roadhog
As the two looked around, they heard someone talking nearby. "I'm telling you Pinkie, there is no way that it's aliens." Shouted a voice, sounding a tad bit irritated with this, "Pinkie" character.
"Oh come on Twilight, you don't know that it isn't. For all we know, it could be a meteor." stated a tomboyish sounding voice.
"I just hope no animals were hurt." whispered a shy person.
"We must be getting close, cause ah can see some of the aftermath." commented a southern voice.
"Hey Roadhog... wanna greet our visitors?" asked Junkrat, with a grin on his face.
"Sure, I don't see why not." Roadhog as he pulled out his hook and Scrapmetal shotgun.
Upon seeing this, Junkrat quickly put his hands on Roadhog's gun. "No, I don't mean kill them. I mean we spook em a bit, then introduce ourselves." stated Junkrat. To which, Roadhog nodded, as they went toward the chopper...and gunned the engine.
"Uhh... does anypony hear that noise?" asked Applejack. To that comment, everypony's ears perked up. Soon they heard what Applejack was talking about. At first, everyone thought it was a dragon of some sort, but their suspicions were soon disproved as a metal machine with two creatures riding on it charged out from the clearing toward them, jumping over them, barely missing the groups heads by a inch. The mysterious machine landed 5 feet behind the group. One the the machine operators pulled out a weird mechanism, and aimed it at them before firing it straight up in the air. A round object shot out of it, went up 6 feet up in the air before it exploded with a loud boom. Soon after that, the other creature turned something on the machine, and it turned off. Then the two mysterious creatures got off the machine, and walked toward the group of terrified ponies.
"How's it hangin', loves?" asked the shorter creature, acting as though nothing had just happened.
"Uhh..." was all that the Mane Six could muster out of their muzzles.
"Junkrat, you knew this was would be a bad idea, why did suggest we do this? These girls are probably terrified of us." yelled the larger, fat creature at "Junkrat" before moving over toward the cowering group of ponies.
"Don't do it Roadhog. You don't know if they're dangerous." stated Junkrat, which warranted "Roadhog" to turn toward Junkrat and remove his mask to give him a dirty look before putting it back on to look at the ponies.
He kneeled toward them and looked them over before speaking to them. "I believe we maybe have gotten off on the wrong foot." stated Roadhog, before hearing Junkrat mutter under his breath: "Or in your case, hoof.", looking at Junkrat, before turning back to the group of ponies. " Allow me to introduce ourselves. I am Roadhog, and my "friend", over there is Junkrat." stated Roadhog, making air quotations with his hands, before pointing a finger toward them. " Who are you?" he asked.
Looking on in fear, before swallowing it, Twilight stepped forward towards Roadhog. "Uhm... hi there...Roadhog...I'm Twilight Sparkle. And these are my friends Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity." replied Twilight Sparkle.
Junkrat and Roadhog are from the Borderlands series, right?
7876479
Overwatch
How did roadhog go from absolutely willing to kill someone he hadn't even meet yet to berating junkrat for deciding to scare them a little?
Is terrifying them worse then just murdering them outright? Cos I absolutely would have been down with the surprise instant murder.
Hook 'em and cook 'em, roadhog hooks 'em and junkrat cooks 'em.
7876633 Well the straight up murder would be hard for me to do, mostly because I suck at writing gore fics. That and it would be hard to continue from if they just murdered the mane six. After all, if they murdered them, they would still be in Everfree, and learn nothing about Equestria in general. Also to answer about the Roadhog change of mind thing...Mako Rutledge's mind works in mysterious ways. Plus Roadhog and Junkrat's background story is kinda hard to make any of it. All I can tell you is they tend to bicker.
7876707 well first off them being in the everfree doesn't really matter as anything they can't kill right away they could flee from on the bike.
And secondly reading about roadhog and junkrat trying steal valuables from a society they don't understand and where misunderstandings are common, seems much more interesting then them already knowing all the information they need right off the bat.
And if you really didn't want a gore fic you could have made the main six run away.
7876743 Ok fair point. If you'd like, I could make an alternate storyline based on the decision to murder the mane six.
Also to quote Phineas and Ferb about the scare instead of killing them: "One little scare ought to do you some good!"
Why does Roadhog sound so... smart and reasonable...???
7876780 To answer this question correctly would require me to ask a question that reflects yours. "Tell me, would you ever expect to see Junkrat play the voice of reason?"
7876788 Fair.
7876771 that sounds like fun.
If you wouldn't mind a suggestion for it then maybe this alternate storyline could be used as a contrast to the main storyline, for example when something important happens in the main storyline showing how different things would be if they just murdered the ponies in cold blood.
So in the main storyline they are being hailed as heroes for some reason and in the alternate storyline they're robbing the national treasury.
Also on a side note, do you know the general orientation towards royalty is in Australia?
If the royalty isn't British they don't matter.
(Though I don't know still applies in the time period that overwatch takes place.)
nice ideal,i love Junkrat.
7876843 Oh Canterlot, may god help you now. By the way I didn't know that about the australian royalty. That could be used as motivation in Junker's Hellhole. (It's a working title)
7877394 Thanks. I really like Junkrat as well, mostly because of the Rip-tire, his personality, and his weapon of choice. Afterall, indirect fire and splash damage is my favorite way to play.
7877660 Australian royalty? Now that's a laugh.
Australia was formed as it is now far beyond the time period of new kings and queens.
Now what I was saying is that in Australia we are still influenced by the queen of England, she's on all the money! (Half the value of the Aussie dollar probably comes from her face being on it.)
I see what you did there
7877919 Finally a comment about the Stargate reference I made. At first I thought no one would notice. Hell I even planned on tracer appearing because of Junkrat saying: Cheers love, the cavalry's here.
7877850 Yeah I don't know why I typed royalty. Old habits never die.
Finally a story of Junkrat and Roadhog that isn't displaced.
7878227 Uhm...what do you mean by displaced?
7878258 Those stories were someone goes to a convection dressed a a fictional character, then meets a merchant that sends them to equestria, transforming them into the character they're dressed as. the stories that spread like cancer on this site.
7878035 well, actually... now that I think about it I do remember this one guy who claimed to be the king of australia and i suppose no did bother to dispute his claim.
Who'd of thought that an assassin would be the king of Australia.
I'll admit it is kinda fitting really.
7878307 Ahh. I see. I have read a few of those myself, and let me tell you, they ain't pretty. It's like watching Teen Titans Go on repeat.
7878597 I hate hate HATE displaced stories, at this point, I don't think they should even count as crossover fics. Because a real crossover fic involves the actual franchise characters, not some human who changes into said character, if anything they should just be tagged as human stories.
7878614 I couldn't agree more.
On a side note to everyone who has read Junker's Paradise, once I'm finished with it, I will make a short series of stories with overwatch characters. (Which characters I do is up to you to decide.) I also have an idea for an Epic meal time story. Title: Epic Pony Time, and a Tokumei Sentai Go-buster fic. Let me know what guys think down in the comments below.
This isn't, bad. I like the direction this story is going. I just have two things off my chest. First, Roadhog. Roadhog, to me aleast, doesn't feel like roadhog. Know this is your fic and you are allowed to write these characters however you like, but roadhog feels too, grounded (?). He isn't one to complain a lot and while yes he can be reasonable, he still is as crazy as junkrat. Him actually speaking words I feel, doesn't mix well with the character. I think would've been better if he grunted instead of talk and like over time instead of junkrat having to explain what he said, the girls can understand him. Of course like I said this is all personal preference and you can write this character however you please, I just wanted to add my opinion that's all. Second, it was too rushed. Not the story, but the introduction of the main six. Equistria wasn't set up well enough. It needed more background to it for the reader to really not only get a sense of the setting, but also get a feel of your version of equisetria. It would've been nice to have added some background information to the ponies, like what they were doing for the day before the picnic, how has their week been, or what's been leading up to this picnic. Hopefully this all makes sense. I'm always up late at night reading these lol. Cheers.
7879635 You most certainly have a point about Roadhog. While I wanted him to be the voice of reason, it seems to sacrifice his entire character in the process. In next few chapters, that will be fixed to where he won't talk as much. As for the set up on the mane six and rushed background, that was an oversight by me, and will HOPEFULLY not happen in future chapters. Thank you for the input. I really appreciate it.
As a funny little tidbit to everyone here, while writing Chapter 2,when I accidentally published it, the word count was 666. Is that normal?
