//------------------------------// // Epilogue,....Well not really (Edited) // Story: Lost, in the heat of battle. (tf2, Anthro mlp crossover) // by heavy weapons brony //------------------------------// The cabin was being torn apart by the large commotion of the crowd storming the small dilapidated structure. If it wasn't for the noise, the crowd might have heard a loud sound produced on the roof, a sound similar to a large arc of electricity, then Soldier appeared on the roof of the cabin. Soldier clothes where near non existent, he was breathing heavily with fear in his eyes and in his hand was a high-tech brass watch. Soldier managed to pull out the watch at the last second and turn invisible, leaving behind a fake corpse, while invisible he jumped through a small trapdoor in the ceiling to the small crawl space attic. From there he forced himself through a small break in the shingled roof. The watch (known as the Mann.co product the "Dead Ringer") then burst into flames in Soldiers hands, it malfuctoned due to the face that is wasen't properly calibrated to Soldier large frame (Rather the spy’s slim one), Soldier dropped it and slid off the roof of the cabin, Soldier landed on the ground, and sprinted into the bushes. As Soldier ducked and weaved through the underbrush he chucked to himself, "Those Hippies will know not to mess with the U.S when they find that my gum had been replaced by taffy!" Soldier though to himself and smiled. His smile quickly disappeared when he realised what he just said. Soldier stopped in his tracks, turned around and reached a desperate hand back, "MY TAFFY NNNNOOOO!!!!" He yelled, "NO! It was a warriors sacrifice, Don't let your taffys death go in vain!" a voice in Soldier's head said back. And with a single tear slipping under the brim of his helmet, Soldier pressed on. A few hours later Soldier broke through the tree line once again and came upon a small cottage, Soldier’s stomach growled, reminding him of his failure to secure the soup earlier. Soldier dug through his bag once more, Soldier pulled out the Righteous Bison. It was the only laser weapon in the bag, Soldier didn't trust laser weapons, but he was low on ammo. Soldier approached the cottage. He searched the area for guards and roof for snipers, instead he found pens of animals. "Hhmmm, a petting zoo? take this out and there army will fall from the inside out,...just as soon as i get somthing to eat." Soldier thought as he opened the front door and entered brandishing his weapon. The floorboards creaked under his feet as he tiptoed through the empty little cottage, Soldier found his way to the kitchen and made his way to the pantry on the other side, upon opening Soldier found cans and cans of soup and beans. Soldier smiled and chuckled as he filled what was left of his shirt with cans. Soldier sifted through the goods with glee until he heard a noise that made his heart skip a beat. "Um,...Hello?" A soft voice said at a near whisper behind him. Soldier dropped several cans as he whipped around and raised his weapon, The yellow colored hippie with long flowing pink hair Dressed in plain underwear, a butter yellow sweater, and pink socks gasped and covered her mouth in shock. Soldier's finger muscle tensed on the trigger, but he didn't fire. Soldier scanned the hippie with his war grown senses and didn't see a weapon, or any signs hostility. Soldier decided to not shoot her unless provoked. He kept his weapon trained as scooped up an armful of cans and started to walk towards the door. "OH!,..are you hungry?...please take whatever you want" The Hippie whispered, and she stepped out of Soldier's way. As Soldier passed by The Hippie she put her hands on his Shoulders, Soldier reeled back and pointed his weapon at her as she brought up her face with tears swelling in her eyes. "im,..SO, Sorry! i,...just,...just" She snived out as she lunged at Soldier. Soldier fired the Righteous Bison right through her chest. The Hippies eyes bulged out of her skull the rolled back into their sockets, then she screamed as her legs wobbled and she fell to the ground, moaning and panting. Soldier stood over her trying to make sense of what happened. He looked at the weapon quizzically, after a few seconds of deep though, he just chalked it up to that these weapons just affected these foreigners differently. Soldier felt a twang of pity for the poor hippie writhing in agony on the floor, but she wasn't dead so Soldier walked out the front door, but a curious thing happened while on his way out, through heavy breaths and moans she breathed out, "Thank you." Soldier ate contently as he walked back up to the town, Soldier had a plan, He did see several Hippies capable of magic, so his plan was simple, kidnap one of these hippies and make them transport him home. Soldier sneaked into town trying to think up ways to torture the hippie, he went from tearing up hemp bags to letting some air out of the tires of their buses so they got crappy gas mileage. then soldier noticed something The town was completely empty of hippies, Soldier decided to capture to one in the library, so he sneaked up the the door. Soldier went to open the door, but as he reached for it the broken door knob rattled. Soldier took a step back as a disgruntled purple colored Hippie opened the door and stepped up to Soldier, Soldier whipped up his weapon only for it to fly from his hands via the Hippie's magic. Soldier reached into his spytech bag only to reach thin air. "looking for these?" the Hippie said smugly as she held up the collection of spytech bags that once belonged to Soldier. then threw it back into her treehouse. behind her several Hippies emerged from the house. A cyan one with her jaw done up in a brace, one with a long frightening purple hair that was almost as long as her White body, which almost hid the bandages covering her belly button, and lastly a orange Hippie with her entire head covered in bandages except for her right eye, and a stetson perched atop the mass of bandages. Soldier gulped, he was surrounded and had no weapons. "After witnessing to your crimes of violence against the ponies, I'm sorry but you will have to be destroyed, we were on to you, we knew you didn't die in the cabin, i just told the public that, gives me less of a violent image, now that you don't have any more of you "magic." The purple hippie said as her Horn started to glow, Soldier was scared, but only for second, then he realised what was about to happen. He smiled and puffed out his chest ready for anything. The Hippie fired two gigantic bolts of lightning from her hands and flung them towards Soldier, who just sat their with a smile as the lightning impacted his body and he fell to the ground dead. Dead as a doornail, no pulse, no Mann.co tech to save him. DEAD
