“So, you have to capture a Control Point, and hang on to it for a few minutes without the other team taking it over?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Yeah, that’s it. When you’re a Scout, it’s quick and easy!” Blue Scout answered.

After saying this, Blue Scout reached around in his seemingly-bottomless pocket, and pulled out a strange red and yellow soda can. In large red letters, the word ‘BONK!’ was imprinted on the side.

“Um…are you sure that stuff is safe?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“It’s Atomic Punch. Do you want a can?” Blue Scout replied.

“Sure, I guess.”

Blue Scout handed the beverage to Rainbow Dash. She examined it closely.

“Make sure you use that only when the time is right. It’s just as important to us Scouts as the Sandvich is to Heavies.” Blue Scout added.

Rainbow Dash had seen a Heavy eating a Sandvich in the last round. The results were catastrophic for the other team.

She smiled evilly, and gripped the can in her hoof. “I promise I’ll make excellent use of this.”

……………………………

Meanwhile, in the other resupply, Rarity practiced flicking her butterfly knife out of the shaft. It made a loud metallic clanking noise when she did so, and she was worried that it might give her away.

Red Spy noticed her concerns by the look on her face. He walked over to her.

“If you want to stay hidden, I suggest you use this.” He said.

Rarity glanced over at him as he handed her a large icicle. She took it very carefully, hoping not to break it.

“Am I supposed to use this as a knife?” She asked, dismayed.

“I assure you that if you do, the results will please you. Try it during the battle if you wish.” Red Spy explained.

Rarity shrugged, and pocketed the icicle. “Okay, if you insist.”

“However, I must warn you. Try to stay away from that pink poofy friend of yours. Her flamethrower could spell disaster for your new weapon.” Red Spy added.

Without a ten-second warning, the woman on the loudspeaker suddenly began the countdown.

“5…4…3…2…1…FIGHT!”

The resupply lockers opened, and both teams ran out into the battlefield. The ponies were dumbfounded by the large, spinning nuclear generator that hung over the Control Point.

……………………………………
Playing with Danger
……………………………………

Rarity, who had rapidly gotten good at being quick as well as stealthy, was already cloaked and invisible by the time she had left her resupply locker. She sported the Cloak and Dagger, so as long as she stood still, she could lie deep undercover in the middle of team BLU’s side of the battlefield.

Running around the entire battlefield, Rarity made her way to the region of team BLU’s resupply locker. Along the way, she had to keep stopping in order to recharge the Cloak and Dagger.

Once she had made it around, she stood still, and patiently waited right in front of team BLU’s locker. Other team BLU members walked in and out, going about their business without even noticing her. She even saw Zecora and Pinkie Pie exit the resupply locker.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the woman on the loudspeaker began to count down again, much to Rarity’s confusion.

“5…4…3…2…1…Point is now available for capture!” She exclaimed over the entire battlefield.

The large nuclear generator began to lift upward, revealing a small compartment underneath it that contained the Control Point. A cluster of bridges began to extend, connecting the battlefield to the compartment. As of now, any team could capture the Control Point.

Rarity knew that capturing Control Points is not something Spies are good at, so she stuck around BLU’s resupply to eliminate anyone that might get in team RED’s way.

Right then, Blue Sniper exited the resupply locker, and went around to a pile of boxes that sat a few feet in front of her. He hid behind them, and began sniping some of team RED’s fighters. Rarity saw Blue Sniper headshot Fluttershy with her own eyes. This angered her greatly.

Rarity uncloaked, and was now visible to any BLU team member who would happen to turn her way. She slowly approached Blue Sniper, and pulled out the icicle that Red Spy had given her.

She took a deep breath, and plunged the tip of the icicle into Blue Sniper’s back. He reached around and grasped the wound, but before he could make a sound, his entire body froze into a giant ice statue. Not a noise was made, so no BLU fighters noticed the kill she had just made.

“Excellent…I like this thing.” She whispered as she recloaked.

Right then, team RED had captured the Control Point. BLU fighters began to pour into the area of the Point, trying to capture it for themselves. However, they were efficiently held off by Spike and Applejack’s sentry gun. A large timer counted down from three minutes above team RED’s resupply locker.

Caught up with all the action from the Control Point, Rarity hadn’t noticed Pinkie Pie, who had walked around and accidentally run into her, making her slightly visible.

“Hey, I think I found a Spy!” Pinkie exclaimed.

Rarity turned around toward Pinkie Pie. Then she looked down at herself, and saw that her cloak had been ruptured.

Pinkie Pie lowered her flamethrower, aiming it right at Rarity. Rarity’s eyes went wide, and she gasped.

“Pinkie, wait! No!”

Ignoring her plea, Pinkie Pie pulled the lever, and a large plume of flames shot out of her weapon, engulfing Rarity.

Rarity screamed loudly, which echoed throughout the battlefield. Then she fell to the ground and deteriorated from the flames that ate at her skin, until there was no more.

Rainbow Dash came running around the corner, following the sound of the scream that had just pierced her eardrums. She found Pinkie Pie standing over Rarity’s burning corpse outside of their resupply locker.

“Hey Pinkie, nice job!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed. She held up her hoof, and they slapped a high five.

…………………………………

Meanwhile, Twilight was standing in a similar spot as Blue Sniper was, right behind a few boxes that stood outside team RED’s locker. Snipers were also not good at capturing Control Points, so she left that job to the Soldiers, Scouts and Heavies.

She noticed that Zecora and Blue Demoman were beginning to take over the Control Point as they armed it with sticky bombs.

Taking steady aim, Twilight lined the crosshair with Blue Demoman’s head, and pulled the trigger. Right as the bullet left her rifle, Zecora moved in behind Blue Demoman. It passed through Blue Demoman’s skull, and went through to Zecora’s, killing them both.

Twilight reloaded and put her eye back up to the scope without saying a word. Just then, she heard a suspicious noise.

She put the rifle down, picked up a jar, and threw it behind her within a couple seconds. The jar broke when it hit the ground, and a splash of her ‘jarate’ flew into the air. Some of it settled, and dripped down an invisible silhouette. She had revealed a Spy.

Blue Spy cried out in surprise as Twilight drove her kukri into him, finishing him off with a mini-crit.

She rolled her eyes, turned around, and continued to snipe. In the scope, she noticed Rainbow Dash. Right at that time, Rainbow Dash had noticed her as well.

Twilight followed Rainbow Dash in the scope as she ran around the side of the battlefield, approaching her location. She got out another jar, and was prepared for the worst.

Just before Rainbow Dash had gotten to Twilight, however, Fluttershy had noticed the commotion, and had walked around to Twilight with her Ubercharge ready. As Rainbow Dash raised her bat, ready to strike, Twilight and Fluttershy were engulfed in a vicious, familiar red glow.

Remembering the Ubercharge from the Arena battle, Rainbow Dash gasped, turned around in one step, and ran the other way.

Going back to her scope, Twilight followed Rainbow Dash as closely as she could. When she thought Rainbow Dash lined up with the crosshair, she pulled the trigger.

Rainbow Dash cried out in agony as a bullet suddenly entered her abdomen. She collapsed to the ground while in mid-dash, sliding forward for a few seconds while tracing blood. Then, she bled out.

Twilight removed her eye from the scope.

“Oh, would you look at that! I got you right in the ovaries.” She exclaimed. Fluttershy chuckled.

…………………………………

A few moments later, Rainbow Dash respawned in team BLU’s resupply locker. A large, angry frown was spread across her face. Just because she was dead didn’t mean she couldn’t hear Twilight’s taunt.

“The ovaries, huh? We’ll see about that.” She grumbled. Seconds later, she heard loud laughter coming from behind her.

When she turned around, she saw Blue Medic laughing at her.

“You got shot in zee ovaries? Oh, zat is rich!” He laughed.

Without saying anything, Rainbow Dash walked up to Blue Medic, and whacked him upside the head with her baseball bat. After that, she walked over to Blue Sniper, swiped his jar of jarate, and threw it in Blue Medic’s face.

Running back out of resupply, Rainbow Dash once again headed straight for Twilight to get revenge. She noticed that Twilight had begun to scope her, and she knew she would get shot in a few moments.

She got out her can of Atomic Punch, and quickly drank it down. Suddenly, her speed and strength were increased ten-fold.

Running almost as fast as a cheetah, Rainbow Dash zipped over to Twilight’s location like a blurred streak. Twilight got out her SMG, and began to rapid-fire at Rainbow Dash. Every single bullet seemed to go right through her as she dodged them faster than a vibration.

“Hold still!” Twilight grunted.

Ignoring her, Rainbow Dash got out her baseball bat, and started whacking Twilight like an Engineer with his wrench. It didn’t take long for Twilight to be crumpled like trash paper, with broken bones covering her body.

Before Twilight could choke out a noise, Rainbow Dash finished her off with her scattergun.

“The ovaries, huh? How about next time I shove my baseball bat right up your ass?!” Rainbow Dash yelled.

……………………………….

Just after Twilight had respawned, team RED had won the battle. Sadly, team BLU never got the Control Point.

“Victory team RED!” Came the announcement.

Rainbow Dash noticed that all of her weapons had suddenly stopped working. Likewise, all of team RED’s weapons were glowing with energy, as they were all crit-boosted.

Twilight left resupply, and noticed Rainbow Dash standing off to the side with her hooves over her head. She strolled over to her, and beat her down with her kukri, enjoying the sounds of her scream.

Once Rainbow Dash was dead, Twilight kicked her corpse into the large pit like a piece of leftover trash. After a few seconds, a splat was heard as the corpse hit bottom.

“Revenge is better served cold, bitch!” Twilight yelled down at it.

Red Soldier, who had been standing not far away, heard Twilight’s outburst.

“Whoa, calm down, private. This is a respectful war we’re running here.” He ordered.

Twilight didn’t care. It took a lot to upset her, but Rainbow Dash had really gotten on her last nerve.

………………………………….

Since team RED had won the battle, they got to keep all of their recruits. No one changed teams after this battle.

As both teams lined up to agree on battle terms, they noticed Twilight and Rainbow Dash staring at each other, nostrils flaring.

“Are you okay, mate?” Red Sniper asked Twilight.

Twilight shook her head. “That little twerp is pissing me off. I’m going to end her.”

Red Sniper shrugged. “We get that kind of hatred around here a lot. Use that anger to your advantage.”

“Yo Skittles, how are you doing?” Blue Scout whispered to Rainbow Dash.

“Badly. I’m going to kill that egghead if it’s the last thing I do.” Rainbow Dash angrily replied through clenched teeth.

During the incident, the teams had agreed on meeting at the mountain of Upward for a Payload battle. After this agreement, they walked off in separate directions.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash were still on opposing teams. A bomb had just been set, and both teams were silently waiting for its detonation.
