Twilight's Experiments: The War of Mann Co. 2

by MIKEANTHONY321


Now What?

Just as the two ponies were about to ask what was wrong, a light appeared through the windows of the facility's garage. All twelve of the witnesses standing around the hatch turned their gaze to the source. The ponies showed curious and hopeful expressions, while Helen's face showed no emotion at all.

The light appeared dim, but grew brighter and brighter in a matter of seconds. All of the witnesses except for Helen shielded their eyes from the rays. Then, almost as suddenly as it appeared, it was gone. Suspenseful silence remained amongst the group.

After about ten more seconds, the garage doors opened. There, standing at the entrance of the garage, was Pinkie Pie. She still wore her pyro uniform, but her flamethrower was nowhere to be seen.

The two ponies gasped in amazement. "Pinkie Pie! You're alive!"

The pink party pony skipped out of the garage with great joy. "Wee! I feel better than ever!" She then gasped, suddenly remembering something. "Oh my gosh, it was so weird, you guys! There was this darkness, and I wasn't wearing any clothes, and..."

"Okay, Pinkie. We can hear about this story on the way back from the facility." Twilight cut her off, giggling happily.

...

Shortly after Pinkie's appearance, Rainbow Dash stepped out from the garage. She rubbed her head and shrugged. "I...didn't even know that I died. I was in the air, and then...everything was dark. Weird."

Rarity appeared right behind Rainbow Dash. "At least you can't get dirty when there's nothing but blackness in every direction."

Big Mac, Zecora, and Spike all exited the garage closely behind Rarity. Without hesitation, Big Mac quickly reunited with Applejack, and Spike reunited with Twilight. Loving embraces were held between the family members that, prior to the victory, were sure they would never see each other again. Loud, joyful giggles and playful talks blessed the bloodstained battlefield of Mannhattan.

...

The happy noises were suddenly silenced, however, when the garage door opened again one last time. Everyone stopped what they were doing, and turned to look at the garage entrance. The silhouette that stood in the doorway stepped out into the open, and looked around with curiosity.

"FLUTTERSHY!" Everyone screamed at once. The pegasus jumped into the air from the sudden fright, and then quickly crouched on the ground. She covered her face with her hooves.

All of the ponies raced towards their yellow, fluffy friend and held her sky-high, cheering heartily for her hard work and her safe return. Fluttershy revealed her face again and began to relax in the comforting embrace of her many friends. Her troubled, anxious state finally began to wear off.

Her friends lowered her back to the ground and stepped away to give her some space. She casually brushed herself off, and smiled warmly. Every direction she turned, there were ponies and humans that cared for her...minus Helen, probably. That was such a cozy and remarkable feeling to have. She felt so important...so needed...so sought-after...so loved. The realization was almost too good to take in so quickly.

About halfway through her visual sweep, Fluttershy spotted who she was really looking for. Her heart swelled up, and an uncontrollable feeling of excitement and joy overcame her. She gasped as loudly as ever.

"Medic!" She cried.

"Ms. Fluttershy!" He exclaimed in return. Upon reflecting her gaze, the doctor leaned forward and opened his arms.

Without wasting a second, Fluttershy spread her wings, and launched herself forward in the German's direction. He laughed deeply as he was tackled and rolled to the ground by the pegasus that missed him ever so dearly. Fluttershy squeezed him in her arms as tightly as her strength would allow her, causing his laughter to sound a little more constrained.

...

"Alright now, Ms. Fluttershy. Zat's enough. I have somezing to show you." He whispered.

Fluttershy climbed off of him, and stood in front of him anxiously. She nearly hopped in place from the excitement that she was feeling. Red Medic used the mythical and unknown method of opening his inventory, and did a little bit of searching.

"I managed to vin zis from our battle earlier today. It's a hundred to von shot of obtaining it. I vould be honored if you take it for me." He announced.

He knelt down on the ground in front of Fluttershy, closed his inventory, and presented the item to her. Her jaw dropped in utter shock.

It was the Australium medi-gun. Every one of the ponies and humans watching moaned in admiration at the glittering, golden tool. Helen scoffed carelessly, and made a shooing motion with her arm.

"That's not much to look at. They're becoming Mann Co. standard issue soon." She jeered.

"Standard issue my ass, lady." Red Scout hissed in reply.

...

Fluttershy quivered in complete disbelief. With each passing second, Red Medic's smile grew wider and wider. A few of the bystanders allowed themselves to smile sheepishly as well.

"Vell, Ms. Fluttershy? Aren't you going to take it?"

Pinkie Pie raised her hoof with an objection. "Hey, doesn't she need e-mail confirmation first?" She giggled childishly, and slapped Red Pyro a high five.

Fluttershy slowly lifted a hoof and extended it to take the radiant tool from Red Medic's hand. Still in a state of complete awe, she awkwardly attached the golden miracle-device to her backpack. Then, after a few more silent seconds, she jumped back on top of Red Medic, and nuzzled her face up into his neck. Red Medic responded by putting his arms around her.

"Ms. Fluttershy, I..."

The doctor was completely cut off when Fluttershy raised her head up, grabbed him by the back of his neck, and yanked him in for a kiss. His surprised eyes slowly closed as he accepted her invitation. The two of them shared a minute together that would not be forgotten for the rest of their...infinite lives.

"Aaawww........." The bystanders cooed longingly.

Red Sniper nudged Twilight with his elbow. "You'd better watch out, mate. I'm coming at ya with that one of these days, but I ain't gonna tell ya when it is."

Twilight giggled.

Helen threw her hands in the air, dropping the expensive company laptop. "I need to get out of here before I puke." She stormed off.

...

"Medic?" Fluttershy spoke after cutting off the kiss.

"Ja?"

"I don't want you to call me 'Ms. Fluttershy' anymore. I would, um...prefer to be called 'Mrs. Fluttershy' from now on."

Red Medic's face twisted into one of shock and disbelief. "Vhat?! Y...You're already married?!! But, but...how...how did you not tell me zis before...? I...I..."

Fluttershy held a hoof up to his face to silence him. "Well, no, I'm not married. Not, um...not yet."

Growing smiles began popping onto the faces of the bystanders as they watched the event unfold. Some gasps were heard, but what could mostly be heard above it all was a gradually-loudening, "oooooooooOOOOHHHH!!!" Fluttershy bit her bottom lip, and blushed softly.

Red Medic continued to glare at Fluttershy with confusion for another second or so before he started to catch wind of his companion's advances. As he did, a massive, ecstatic grin appeared on his face. His grip on Fluttershy got tighter.

"Oh, danke...DANKE, Mrs. Fluttershy! Ja, ja, I vould be privileged to spend my life vith you! Oh, zah joy! Great joy!" He hollered into the air.

...

The crowd of victors laughed happily as the two medics pulled each other in for an embrace. This was definitely a day to remember at the company of Mann Co.. Lives were saved. Lives were also lost. Blood was certainly shed. Lips, and now hearts, were shared. Thousands of dollars were scrapped as a laptop struck the floor. And a little bit of piss got to be thrown. This was an average day in the lives of the pony mercenaries.

THE END
