Unknown area within BLU base

Pinkie woke up from feeling very uncomfortable on a hard, concrete floor. She had no memory of what happened in the past hour. She didn't know where she was or what was going on. She rubbed her eyes to get rid of the blurriness in her vision from sleeping on a hard surface. She then looked around to see where she was, but all she saw were stone brick walls and an iron barred area with an iron door to get out. She was in a prison cell. The place felt very damp as well. She noticed a puddle in a corner with water dripping from the ceiling.

She looked down at herself to see that she was still in her fire suit. But then she noticed that her mask was missing. But then she realized, she actually took it off right before she was captured, right when she met up with Rainbow Dash. She still felt very sorry for offending her. She then remembered that a fat Russian took her over his shoulder and dragged her into their base. At that moment is where she couldn't remember what exactly happened. Did she get very sleepy from how late it was? Did she pass out from fear? She couldn't tell.

"Finally awake huh?" A French voice said. Pinkie turned around and saw the BLU spy right on the other side of the bars. He was sitting on a barrel in the corner, smoking on a cigar. He was also holding a cigarette case in his right hand. "You're a very tough pony, I shall admit. But not strong enough to defeat all of us."

"I had help you know..." Pinkie muttered.

"Yes, we know. We found a sapper in our intel room. It destroyed our engineer's sentry. But that doesn't really matter now. He's dead and our intel is now in your friend's hands. We sent scouts after her but they haven't reported back. Something unexpected for us." The BLU spy smiled and nodded as if he was impressed. "But rest assured, they'll be back for you. We know because we actually caught your spy snooping around, trying to find out where we are taking you. She probably doesn't even know we spotted her."

Pinkie inferred that the BLU spy meant that they killed her right before she could even notice what was going on. "You.... you... YOU SNEAKY, MEAN MOTHER HUBBARDS! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO RARITY!"

"Rarity? She's your spy huh?" The BLU spy chuckled to this. "Yes, I figured that's who your spy would be. And don't worry. We didn't do anything to her.... yet. We just let her go just like that. We know that she will bring back her friends to can and get you back, Pinkie Pie. Maybe she'll bring back Rainbow Dash, the very same one who took our briefcase."

Pinkie Pie stepped back in shock to hear that the spy knows their names. It is very unusual for someone who hates their kind knows their names. "How.... how do you know our names?"

"It's simple really." The spy shrugged and chuckled at the pony's curiosity. "I'm a spy. We can figure out our enemy's names just by looking at them. It's that simple really. Even a party pony like you should know that. And your friends would know better than to come back for you, as we keep a better watch on our fortress after it's been successfully breached. But don't worry. We'll make your friends' deaths nice, quick, and painless."

Pinkie only glared at the French mercenary. She really hated how he was talking to her. He seemed to be talking to her as if she was a joke. She felt like the very same Pinkie Pie that was under Discord's spell, making her turn gray. But this wasn't the case. This mercenary she was talking to really ticked her off. She looked around for her flamethrower and ax, but couldn't find them in her cell. She then saw that the spy stood up and opened the top of the barrel. The spy reached in and took out some gas tanks and Pinkie's flamethrower that was attached to it. He even took out her bloodstained ax.

"Your weapons ma'am?" The spy asked with his devilish smile.

"You're lucky I'm stuck in this damp, dank cell! I'd make a barbeque out of you if I weren't!" At this point, Pinkie ran up to the bars and grabbed them, trying to shake them as if she were trying to break them.

The spy laughed at Pinkie's behavior before putting the weapons back into the barrel and walked to the other side of the room, where there was a curved, black steel wall. The spy knocked on the middle of it and revealed a hidden door that opened up by sliding. He then walked right out of the room, but to Pinkie's surprise, the spy didn't even bother closing the door. Was he mocking her, or did he just simply forget? She didn't get it at all. She thought something much more weird was going on with the spy. And what's more weird to Pinkie was that she had a feeling that she shouldn't kill him at all, despite her behavior towards him. There was something that the BLU spy was hiding from her that she should've probably known. Rather, she had a strange feeling that the BLU spy wasn't really her actual enemy. She didn't even know why. But whatever the reason was, Pinkie dismissed it in order to find out how she could get out of the prison cell before someone realized the spy forgot to close the curved door.

But while she was thinking, she let out a very big yawn. She was tired from the lack of sleep she had ever since they found themselves in the world of Team Fortress 2. She tried to resist sleeping, but the deprivation got the best of her, right before she fell to the ground with her eyes shut, snoring.

"Pinkie! Wake up!" A familiar voice said.

"Huh... Wha..." Pinkie muttered, slowly opening her eyes to see who it was.

"Pinkie! Come on, before they find us!"

"What? Who?" Pinkie sat up and rubbed her eyes once more, seeing a familiar, friendly face right in front of her. It was Rainbow Dash. At first, Pinkie thought that she was captured as well, up until that she saw the iron door of the prison cell was now wide open. "How... how did you find me?"

"Rarity told us that you were held in a secret room in the BLU sewers. But it really wasn't a secret. The door was wide open. Looks like someone forgot to lock the doors." Rainbow Dash laughed for a short while about this, causing Pinkie to laugh as well. But they weren't laughing at the BLU's ignorance, but about the fact that they were together again. It was like their argument never existed in the first place. "Come on Pinkie, let's find your weapons and get you out of this dump."

"You said it!" Pinkie said, smiling. She didn't even notice at this point, her mane became curly again. She followed the pegasus out of the cell and walked up to the barrel, opening the top off to grab her two weapons. She equipped the flamethrower in her hands and turned the safety off. BLU spy must have turned it on the keep his butt from being burnt as he sat on the barrel.

But what Rainbow Dash said next surprised her a bit. "You know... I'm surprised there was no one but you in here. It's like as if you put yourself in the cell."

"What? There's.... no one here?"

"Yeah. It's like a ghost town, except it's a fort. But either way, we need to keep on our guard. It truly can't be this easy!"

Pinkie Pie didn't get it at all. She was sure that the spy told her that Rainbow would get killed because of how they'd be more aware after what she did. "It must be a trap then!"

"Most likely. But either way, we need to get going while we can!" Rainbow Dash charged right out of the sewer door and headed to the right where the staircase up into the fort would be, with Pinkie following right behind her.
