With the mercenaries examining the suspicious surroundings, Each had their own unique ideas about what it was.
Scout: Ponies. Of all things, why God damn ponies?
Soldier: This isn't right. These horses should be in a zoo. Or on a farm.
Pyro: Mmmphhh!!!!!
Demoman: For the luva bloody 'ell, there'd better be alcohol...
Heavy: Tiny baby ponies. Now this is surprise.
Engineer: Well I'll be darned. Who woulda thought of a talkin' horse?
Sniper: These ponies seem normal, 'side from the fact that they can bloody talk!!
Medic: So many failed horse experiments, so little time... Horses are like birds, right? Of course they are.
Spy: These ponies are the most elaborate trick I've ever seen.
However, there was also one common theme surrounding everyone's thoughts.
All: The Blus. I bet they're behind this.
For a minute or so, everyone and everypony sort of just stood in a stunned silenced. The ponies had met Ellis before, but these were nine new humans from a completely different universe. Who were they, and where did they come from?
Twilight: So, where exactly are you from, who exactly are you, and what did you do before you came here?
Engineer knew the perfect response:
Engineer: Look, buddy. I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like what is beauty, because that would fall within the perview of the conundrums of your philosophy.
Twilight: What?
Engineer: I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean mother humper from tearin' me a structurally superfluous new beehind?
Twilight:...
Engineer: The answer- use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.
Twilight: Okay then. Welcome to Ponyville. I'm Twilight Sparkle.
Engineer: Nice to meet ya, Miss Sparkle.
Twilight: Oh please, call me Twilight. Now, could you explain to us how you all got here?
Engineer: I'm not exactly sure myself. We were about to go dimension hopping, and we ended up here. Only thing is, this wasn't our pre-selected destination. I think I may know what have happened. Ah-ha! I knew it. Looks like the Blus were in no mood to take the day off. This here is a part of a sapper. A Blu spy musta snuck into our base earlier and our alarms didn't go off because of deactivation peace protocol! Dammit! Now we're stuck here til I can fix this thang. Ya'll can keep us for a while, right?
Twilight: I suppose my friends and I could house you for a while... It would give me an opportunity to get more research on humans in! I have two rooms available at my library.
Apple Jack: I spose we could let this guy and his machine stay at Sweet Apple Acres.
Engineer: Much obliged, Miss...
Apple Jack: Call me Apple Jack, AJ for short.
Fluttershy: I've got an open room at my cottage... Hey! Are you a doctor?
Medic: Yes.
Fluttershy: Great! Could you stay with me and help some of my animals? A lot have been sick lately.
Medic: I suppose.
Fluttershy: Thanks.
Rarity: Well, my parents are away, so i have two open rooms at the boutique... I'll take the guy with the mask. And also, I suppose, the big guy.
Spy and Heavy: Thank you.
Pinkie: And what's your name?
Pyro: Mmmaammppph.
Pinkie: Ha ha ha! You talk funny. You're coming to Sugar Cube Corner with me.
Rainbow Dash: I always have two open rooms just in case. I'll take skinny legs and Mr. Eyepatch.
Scout: You have got to be kidding. I hate ponies.
Sniper decided to teach Scout a little respect by hitting him in the back of the head with his kukri.
Sniper: Really don't have much of a choice, mate.
Scout: Owww... Alright, fine. I'll stay with the rainbow.
Twilight: So that leaves me with these two.
Soldier: I look forward to staying with you and your library.
` Sniper: (whispering to Twilight) Don't mind him, he's just a little crazy about war.
END OF CHAPTER
Well, here it is, the not so waited for third chapter. Enjoy, and remember, I'm always open to suggestions.
573259 It's better than my first time (The criticism I got was much more harsh, check out the comments on HIE cupcakes if you want to see)
you don't have to put "END OF CHAPTER"
relies too much on dialogue
still needs creativity, but not as bad
NO FLUTTERSHY! DON'T TAKE THE MEDIC TO YOUR HOUSE
A little constructive criticism, if I may . First, the characters seem a little out of place and too open with each other. Would the ponies really take in strange humans into their homes so quickly? Second, you project the ideas a little too swiftly. With the Engineer explaining how they got there, it seems likes speaking his line with the same tone of speech. Pause and explain what they're feeling without dialogue. Other than that, It's a great story. I hope you don't take this criticism the wrong way.
You're forgetting something...
Why would he want to go with Rainbow, then?
