The Usurper


I write stories. One day, I'll be really, really good at it. One day.

T

Now complete with its final chapter and link to the MvM-based sequel: Pony Fortress 2: A Worthy Cause.


Meet the mercenaries from Team Fortress 2 - except this time, these ones aren't the ones from Earth. This isn't the same situation as Earth either. Heck, they aren't even human.

Join our favourite characters as they pick up the mantle of the ruthless killers we all know from TF2, but, since this is their break time, they won't be killing other ponies.

Okay, maybe they will.

Pretty nice and original. Go on.

Team Fortress, best game I know, mixed with the best series I know.
I approve this. :raritystarry:

I'll admit I was wary, but I'm interested now.

MMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unwanted reviewer here, back again with too much time on his hands.

Grammar of speech:

"Hello," he said.
"Hello," you said.
"Hello," I said.
"Hello," they said.
"Hello," said Applejack.

If the word after the speech marks is a pronoun and it describes how something is said, it should be in lowercase. Unless it is 'I said' or 'Applejack said' etc because they are names and such like that.

Also, Lavender unicorn syndrome. 'The rainbow maned mare, the cyan pegasus, the lavender unicorn, the white unicorn. If the POV writer knows the name, use it. In the intro, Rainbow is referred to as 'Dash.' Therefore you should call her either by her real name or 'dash' if that is how the POV writer consistently knows her. There is nothing 'really' wrong with LUS, it is just rather annoying to read. So is respectively using names, also. This is why pronouns were invented.

Thanks for your review, it's pretty hard to spot these things even after going through it quite a few times, and I'm afraid I'm writing this by myself here. I'll go through it again tomorrow when I'm more awake and sort these things out.

Haven't seen anyone transform the Mane Six into TF2 characters. I'll read for the sake of videogame genre.

im a sucker for tf2 crossovers

TF2 and ponies combined? Count me in!

Sniping's a good job, mate!:twilightsmile:

I like Waking Nightmares better. KnightMysterio FTW.

Is there a reason why you triple posted on the same chapter? Anyway, in my honest opinion, I quite like the way things are currently going--the author has clearly stated his intent in the notes, and I'll just go with that. Applejack the Engineer all the way!

This is interesting. I like it. Keep up the good work.

"No, no it gets better I tell you. When the patient woke up her skellington was missing, and the doctor was never heard from again, ahahaha! Anyway that's how I lost my medical licence." :pinkiecrazy:

Where is Rainbow Dash refering to when she said "where I am from"? Cloudsdale or Ponyville, neither seem like a place where it's hard to survive.

Please give us the Flutterbitch version of the Medic. That would be awesome.

Meet the Spy will be very interesting. I fear for Rarity's life (as she will most likely have her head blown off by Derpy's shotgun)

And I know you kinda already have Spike as the Soldier here, but Derpy would be great to read about too. Lecturing a line of muffins wearing hats about Sun Tzu!

1520779 1520787 1520908 1521214
Agreed.

I'll admit, it becomes somewhat the same after the first set, but I like to think of TF2 Pony Fics as sort of a pool of fics, like Fallout Equestria. Sure, it may be drawn from another source, but it shows consistency, something I enjoy. Admittedly, I enjoy a lot of fics, as long as they have good grammar and spelling, at least a decent amount of details, and are original OR are part of a pool.

1522685
Well, depending on some ways how Cloudsdale is portrayed...

(No, that doesn't necessarily mean Rainbow Factory, but still)

Wow, I'm thoroughly amazed. This fic has been the most successsful one of mine in the first few days. I didn't think it would be that good. This isn't related to what I've just said, but I've decided to answer some of the comments that people have made.
1529527
That's an interesting suggestion. I might be able to work with that. Spike will still be the soldier, but maybe I can put in a bonus chapter somewhere.
1522685
I was thinking about that, but keep in mind that this universe is not the same as the original MLP FIM universe, so Ponyville and Cloudsdale should be different as well.
1521404 1529564
I admit, most of this will use the generic characters, but there will be a few which will stand out. I say this because I will be putting in some bonus chapters, like the Administrator, Redmond, Blutarch, Gray, etc. I might even ponify some of the comics.
1525648
I will see, but I'm afraid I can't promise anything.
1522094 1521763 1520779 1520771 1520787
Thank you. Future chapters should not disappoint. I hope.

For even more hilarity, combine Flutterbitch Medic with the somewhat-crazy Medic from Mann Vs. Machine (Free money! Free money! I AM A GOD! The bomb carrier is FURIOUS!)

I just imagined Spike doing a rocket jump, that would be classic.

Plus, I imagine Fluttershy being Pyro. Not the Medic. No worries, whatever you decide.

1. Find group with many ponies in it.
2. Post story in it.
3. ??????
4. Readers.

Well, if you ever saw the intro of Pyro in Pyroland. Being all happy in his/her little domain. Same way with Fluttershy more or less with her animals. She does have a dangerous dark side to her personality. Come to think of it Pinkie Pie could fit with Pyro too. Again, it is your story and I am not imposing anything. Good luck with your story.

1536939
1. Yes, most people thought Pinkie fit with the Pyro even before MTP, and now it a definite thing for some.

2.

Again, it is your story and I am not imposing anything. Good luck with your story.

My... Story...? Wha...?

Oops, sorry. I was in the moment.:twilightblush:1536968

1536994 Ah, think nothing of it. We all make mistakes.

I apologise profusely for the body count in this chapter. And yes, for all of those who I'm sure will ask, Fluttershy is fine. She hasn't been interviewed yet, so I can't kill her like that.

Spike watched as the earth pony mare stumbled away, muttering "Oh Celestia, please let the next one be more sane" under her breath.

You just keep saying that to yourself, Diana. The next interview will be ANYTHING but sane! :pinkiecrazy: "Do you believe in magic, in a young girl's heart, how the music can free her whenever it starts?"

1554733
Heh, when it comes to Meet the Pyro, you may be a little surprised to see just how insane things get.

Anyway, about that request of yours, it is a little short, but I think I can publish it tomorrow.

1554739 So I'm guessing Pinkie Pie is the Pyro right? :pinkiecrazy:

1555211
You may be right... but I shouldn't spoil the surprise.

1555221 I'm guessing you're going in order of the classes, so if I'm right that means that after The Pyro comes Zecora as The Demoman, then Big Macintosh as The Heavy, and then Applejack as The Engineer.

1555235
No, not really. There isn't going to really be any kind of order in this. I know which ones are the last two; the rest, I'll put up more or less at random, unless it contributes to some sort of timeline in this story, or if the audience requests it.

UNLESS IT'S A FARM!!!

Rations isn't a joke for PAINIS Cupcakes. Save Pyro for last. Also, could you do extra chapters with the oddballs like spycrab and PAINIS?

1560670
Could you be a little bit more specific with that?

Oh Derpy you silly pony, Beethoven never fought he played music! :rainbowlaugh:
