My Little Fortress

Payloads and Sniper Rifles

Fluttershy's Point of View

We eat some sandwiches and shower. I'm not so used to showering technology,but I manage not to splat soap all over Music's face when she went inside after I took a bath. As I go out of the shower,I think I see Scout wink at me before going into the boys' shower room.

"MISSION BEGINS IN ONE HUNDRED TWENTY SECONDS." the Administrator's voice boomed. "Okay,tactics,everypony! Today's a Payload match. It's when you push a bomb cart. Soldiers and Demozebras can push the cart for two people if using the Pain Train,like me but I'm really pushing,like,two people at the same time without any help of any items. Rarity,you could backstab anybody who comes close. Applejack,place sentries near those red flags. Those are our checkpoints,and the last one,place more sentries and Dispensers. We should have very little health,especially me. So Pinkie should be with us. She wouldn't be pushing,but mowing down enemies,and giving us Sandviches if we are low on health. As for you,Fluttershy,try to use the Razorback. Snipers are a prime target in Payload matches. Rainbow,as yesterday. Twilight,try to burn those darn Snipers. They always snipe those near the final checkpoint. Zecora,place stickybombs near BLU sentries." Music says. She knows everything. We come close,and we whisper. "MISSION BEGINS IN THREE SECONDS." the Administrator says.
"2"
"1"
"LET THE GAMES BEGIN."
I hide in the “Sniper's nest” that Sniper told me about before the fight. "Wanker." I say,shooting a BLU Soldier about to launch a rocket towards Music. I clop a hoof to my mouth. What the heck did I say? I thought. "Never mind." I say. I fire a bullet,killing the BLU Demoman. My ear twists. I kick backwards,effectively killing a BLU Spy disguised as Music. That BLU Spy didn't do that with brains,because I saw Music pushing the Payload cart with Pinkie,Zecora,Rainbow and Big McIntosh. Zecora detonates the stickybombs when a Heavy and Medic pair came close. My ear twists and I don't kick backwards. Instead,I shoot an invisible target near a RED sentry. It kills the BLU Spy,about to sap Applejack's sentry. "Thanks,sugarcube!" I hear Applejack yell. "Want to hear something funny? That sentry's going to go down." I mutter,firing a shot towards Music,it passes through and kills a BLU sentry. What am I saying?! I thought. There again. My ear twitches and I kick backwards. A BLU Spy. "Wheee!" Rainbow Dash says,Übercharged with Pinkie. Huh? I thought. Only BLU's can do that! I snipe them,only to let the bullet ricochet. My ear twists and I don't move. The Razorback shattered,the BLU Spy met a thousand volts. I slice him with the... What do you call that? Oh,yeah,the Kukri. I called it something like a deadly,sharpened,bread knife. I remember what Sniper said.
"Feelings? You know who has a lot of feelings? Guys who bludgeon their wives to death with a golf trophy. Proffesionals. Have. Standards."
I dominated him. "Domination! Yay! Uh,what's domination?" I say. "It's killing the same pony,er,person four times in a row." a voice says. "Huh?" I say. "It's me. Scout." "Oh,hey.." I say. We've been here for two days,and I forgot whose voice is whose? "Yer new. So don't think about it." Scout says,as if reading,no,really reading my thoughts.
