2 miles from 2Fort

Rainbow Dash ran through a forest with the briefcase in her hands. She kept running until she was out of breath from running on two legs, something she was not used to. If she could, she'd carry the handle of the briefcase in her mouth, except she needed to exhale properly while running. Carrying the intel in her mouth would stop her from doing that. But even if she was able to run on all four legs, she wouldn't really do much better unless she flew. But unfortunately for her, she couldn't spread her wings out. It felt to her like as if an invisible rope tied them down, preventing her from flying in this world. She wanted to know why she was unable to fly. But it didn't matter now. She was halfway there to their hideout.

She looked behind her towards where 2Fort was. She couldn't help but wonder if Pinkie Pie made it out alive. Last time she's seen her, she was enraged. At that time, Rainbow Dash did not want to further anger her, and decided to leave her alone before she offended Pinkie any further.

She then turned away from the forts and sat against a tree, breathing heavily from the exhaustion of running. She then thought to herself, Pinkie will be just fine. I know it. I need to get this to RED spy so he can figure out why we are here. The sooner the better.

She laid her head against the tree and looked straight up into the stars. They were beautiful at this time of night. They reminded her of home, when Luna always sends up the moon and stars when it's night time. She really missed Equestria and everyone there. She even missed Cloudsdale. She thought of everything in Equestria that wasn't here. Then Rainbow Dash smiled, as she realized she still had her friends with her, especially her best friend, Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow stood up and started walking towards their hideout on her two rear legs, carrying the briefcase in her front two. The sooner she gets the briefcase to RED spy, the faster they could probably get home by finding out how they got in the TF2 world in the first place.

But then, Rainbow Dash paused as she heard someone with a Boston accent shout, "There she is! With our briefcase! Get her!"

Rainbow Dash turned around and saw three scouts with aluminum baseball bats charge towards her. She knew that she couldn't win this fight with three against one. She did the very first thing that came to mind; run! Rainbow Dash dared not to look back at the baseball fans charging right at her and shouting insults at her. Not as long as she had the intel in her hands. After getting this far through their mission, she did not want to give it up. She looked up and saw a low hanging branch from a tree and jumped up as high as she can, landing right on the branch.

Rainbow looked back at where she expected the scouts to be. But they seemed to have disappeared. Rainbow took a big sigh of relief and sat down, breathing heavily. She never felt that much adrenaline in her before.

But with Rainbow Dash thinking she was safe from harm at the moment made it so that she didn't notice the baseball fan looking down at her from a branch just above her. "I got you now, pony!" The scout yelled as he jumped down from the branch at her.

Rainbow shot a glance upwards immediately and gasped right before the scout tackled her, causing both of them to tumble out of the branch and hit the ground hard. Rainbow felt dizzy for a second from the impact and immediately shook the feeling off. She felt that she was sitting on top of something softer than the ground. She looked down and saw the scout laying on the ground, injured from the fall. "Agh! Get off of me you stinkin pony!" The scout yelled.

Rainbow then noticed the scout's bat off to her right. She then decided to pick it up and got off the scout. The scout started to stand up right before something clubbed him right in the head.

BONK!

"Wwwhhhheeewww...." The scout said before falling back down on the ground with stars floating around his head.

Rainbow laughed at the unconscious baseball fan before picking up the briefcase which has happened to fall with them when the scout tackled her. "One down... two to go." She said to herself. That was when Rainbow decided to take a stand at the two remaining scouts. They weren't as tough as she thought they were after all. She stood still, starred down into the forest and took a batter's stance, as if she was ready to whack a ball that was about to pop right out of the forest.

But that was a mistake she made. Right when she made the stance, another scout jumped out at her, pinning her to the ground. The scout sat on her stomach and started punching her face. "I'll get you for what you did to my friend you stupid pony!"

Rainbow immediately put her hooves in front of her face to block the scout's punches from hitting her face. She didn't know what to do at this point. Sooner or later, the other scout would arrive at the now defenseless Rainbow Dash. Rainbow prayed to Celestia that somepony would come to her aid before the scouts decided to kill her for bashing in their friend's skull.

A couple of seconds later, Rainbow's predictions were right. The final scout has arrived, carrying a scattergun over his shoulder. He looked really ticked off at the rainbow pony for the trouble she cause. The scout that was on her stopped punching her and turned to face his friend. "Hey look at what we got here? It's the thief! And a pony as well! Can you believe it?"

The other scout laughed at Rainbow Dash and started to taunt her. "You thought you could outrun us? How's it feel to be down on the ground by us? You made a mistake on crossing our path you wimp!" The scout then approached the defenseless pony and pointed the scattergun to her head. "Say goodbye!"

But then, her prayers her answered.

POW!

Rainbow watched the scout that was about to kill her fall to the ground like a chopped down tree. Blood started gushing out of a bullet-hole in the scout's forehead.

This caused the scout on top of Rainbow to jump off of her and stare in the direction of where the shot came from. "Alright! Who's out there?! Come out here we I can see you, coward!" The forest stayed silent with only the echo of the scout being his response. "Alright, if you want to do this the hard way..." The scout smiled, grabbed his bat, and started walking towards where the shot came from, "Then we'll do it that way."

Rainbow saw this as an opportunity. She got up and grabbed the bat of the scout she knocked unconscious and slowly approached the distracted scout, before bringing the bat down with all of her might with a very loud war cry, "AAAAGGGHHH!!!"

WHACK!

The impact felt like it caused a huge skull fracture in the scout, as his head burst wide open when he hit the ground.
. Fragments of his skull and parts of his brain were lying around his head. Rainbow didn't realize how much power she put into the swing until she saw the tremendous sight. She couldn't help but feel disgusted at the sight and immediately turned away from the corpse. She grabbed the briefcase which was behind her and then headed over to where the shot came from. She knew exactly what the shot was and who fired it.

"Just in time, Twilight!" Rainbow greeted the sniper after approaching the purple pony hidden in a tree with a sniper rifle sitting right next to her.

"Just glad that I arrived right before things really got messy. But then again, you already made quite the mess." Twilight commented, handing her a set of headphones with a mic attached to it. "By the way, you forgot your headset back at the base. No wonder why we couldn't contact you properly!"

"Oops... I guess things would have been easier for me if I had it." Rainbow blushed from embarrassment and look down at the ground, rubbing the back of her head. She then took the headset and put it on, but left it off for now seeing as how they were heading back to their hideout soon.

"Anyways, that's quite the arm you got there. It's almost as strong as Applejack's hind legs."

"Heh," Rainbow Dash smiled and flexed on of her arms, "You know me. Always working out, right?"

"Maybe. Do you have the briefcase?"

Rainbow Dash brought the briefcase right over her head to show Twilight. "It's right here. Hopefully RED spy is correct as to the answers to why we are here lie within this briefcase. Then, we might be able to find our way back home!"

"Speaking of which, where is Pinkie?" Twilight asked, looking around "Didn't she get out of the fort with you?"

"Yeah, I saw her come out. But she was acting weird. I tried to calm her down but.... she got really mad at me. I decided it was best that we went separately. She should be back in the base in about 45 minutes if I'm correct seeing as how I'm faster than she is."

"Very well then. And I take it that Rarity is with her?"

"Yes, she should be if everything was according to plan."

"Alright. Let's get back to the hideout then." Twilight grabbed her sniper rifle and climbed down the tree. She then started walking back to where their hideout was with Rainbow Dash following behind her.

"I tried to calm her down but.... she get really mad at me."
I think you mean, "She 'got' really mad". That was the only error I found in one read. Well done, another good chapter.

I like it, though I may be biased considering I am a tf2 fan
