"Why, as a child, I thought sharks were my friends. [In ominous voice] I know better now." -Professor Membrane

T

Equestria, a place where every creature could come together and be the best of friends. A peaceful country that supported any culture that exists. Sadly, this country has quite a dilemma. Equestria has two rulers.

Princess Celestia and her sister princess Luna had inherited the country from their mother, but their mother had divided Equestria just so her daughters would bicker at each other for eternity.

With the intent of embarrassing the other and to conquer more land, the two sisters devised a plan. And that was to hire other people to do their dirty work. But that did not change anything, especially when a thousand years had passed, and with a new threat just around the corner. It's up to the mercs to save the day by doing what they do best.

... this is probably going to be a trip.

and i was correct!

also, Twi as medic, not what i expected but thinking about it... it makes alot of sense really.

10697375
Yeah, she should've been the medic from the beginning. All honesty I agree with the dude who actually made Medic Twi, she fits better thanks to her interest to science. But sadly the fandom decided that Fluttershy becomes medic.

Metalkitty is his name and he can be found on devianart. Dude makes good points on the subject.

This was the first shot that started the war, a battle to decide the fate of Equestria. This was the beginning of Mann Vs Mane.

But, wouldn't it make sense that Fluttershy be the Medic-Type? I mean, it is Fluttershy! Of course, she'll probably won't have the Insane Mad Scientist Personally by the TF2 Medic. Twilight can fit the bill. Then, which TF2 Class can Fluttershy be? Sniper?!

10697651
Yes, as she is in the story.

10697651
I considered making her the engineer, being the middle defence and not stand in the front line, helps as much as she could etc etc. But I was dead serious on making spike engineer.

10697990

Spike as the Engineer? Applejack would make sense. Because, they both are and act like they are from Texas.

10698058
Texan accent is cool and all, but when you see Applejack you see a tough mare who could hold her ground. Engineer himself isn't tough with his 125 total of health. And he is mostly restricted to his sentry and dispenser. Like I said, he's a middle line and not a front line guy.

The roles that fit her better is as follows: Soldier, Demo, and Heavy. All of which are good for assault.

For reason, Demoman has plenty of trait that makes Applejack fit with the class. He can be played defensively, offensively, support. And a crowd favorite, just plain crazy. Battle engi has some pros that would certainly fit AJ. But Demoknight/Demohybrid are excellent. Applejack is stubborn, tough, and a hard worker. All a fitting trait for Demoman.

I actually considered to put in Pinkie as Demo, but she doesn't got that serious personality. Her personality is also why I made her the Soldier. A crazed unpredictable lunatic with a rocket launcher.

I like this, it's got a similar ridiculousness to the old TF2 comics. And just now calling them the 'old' TF2 comics has made me very sad that we will never get any more TF2 comics.

Freaking Blueblood would be a sticky spammer.

Don't worry, if there's a chance for HL 3,then there could still be hope for the final chapter. We'll all make it bro.

Sometimes you just need good motivation, like money.

Oh, just wait 'till Hale gets ahold of ya, cause then there will be no motivation to speak of.

10714279
That would be nice, but I'll temper my expectation for now.

To you, it appears you've suddenly stepped into a colorful, magical world of fantastic creatures. To Pyro, this is tuesday.

Spike and Autumn could only watch as the Heavy pushed the bomb into the castle, then boom. An explosion rocked the earth, and the building crumbled down.

So, good ending then?

hell of an investment there spike.

"See?" Colgate smiled. "Your gums are bleeding because you don't floss!"

Soldier Colgate is fantastic.

"And now I'm late for my evening jog, guess I will have to do a rain check and settle this pest as soon as possible." Saxton Hale stretched his body.

I guess Changelings are about to go extinct too.

10721633
Not even Tuesday, just everyday.

Fun interlude, are you planning to do other meet the team shorts?

10797339
Maybe, definitely Autumn. I only made spikes because I was bored and also the fact that he isn't exactly like the Engineer. So I might actually make one for Pinkie and Fluttershy. The rest are pretty much predictable and already been done.

This should be interesting

"This angered Beep the god of war, and he demands that I must take back what is ours. And I know that you can help in many ways."

"Now that Beep is the strongest warrior, there will be changes."
-Beep

10978952
Yooo, someone got my kenshi reference!

10978986
I love Kenshi! Beep being the changelings war god is the way he would've wanted it.

10979319
Beep, reclaimer of thrones, may he reign forever

10979772
Lol Beep and Agnu are a must have tag team on my squad whenever I play.

10980040
Word, just a bundle of fun with those guys. (even if it's just screaming) :twilightsmile:

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR! MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! ALL PRAISE OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR GABEN!

Just finished reading this, and it's one of my favourite stories on the site. Funny and entertaining. Keep up thy good work.

Cheating? In TF2? Unheard of.

You should introduce bots XD

And also btw when new chapter? Just curious.

11093283
Why does that sound familiar?

Twilight has finally killed Soldier, cementing her place as prettiest unicorn.

Flam took a second to think. "Well outside the games, we mostly just swindle other ponies and the last time someone crossed us was about three years ago... Huh, I honestly feel kinda bad killing these humans..."

At first my brain thought "ah yes, a reference to the time since a major update." But then I remembered:

The Jungle Inferno Update was a major update for Team Fortress 2 starting on October 16th, 2017

;-;

So Chrysalis and the Changelings are the equivalent of Gray Mann and his robot army and Cozy is Olivia Mann.
Also, Trixie just introduced Fluttershy to Jarate!

I realize and understand what you did here. Every TF2/MLP fanfic has portrayed the Mane 6 plus others exactly as the Mercs, that they might as well be those characters. Ignoring the stuff that make them different. Essentially, you're portraying the MLP characters as themeselves, approximately, and assume the role/class of the TF2 Mercenaries.

Pyro is definitely the hardest role to fill in, sure we got scary pinkie cupcakes and all, but as I said last time about Pinkie, she's the comic relief, same as Soldier.

I've also mentioned how Autumn and Pinkie were alike in some ways. Not much characters from mlp that could fill the role of pyro.

Choosing a normal pony doesn't capture the alien part of Pyro, was honestly tempted to use Ember back then.

I get what you're saying. The hardest part of Pyro is partly the enigma. Who or what is the monster behind the mask? I could've seen a changeling working well also, but a kirin is probably best for the association with fire.

11225123
There's only a few notable changelings, and they don't really relate much with Pyro. I mean, Kevin could work, being just a random changeling with no context. Other than that, I'm unsure who in the changeling race could be good enough

11225954
Yeah I get what you mean. I was thinking changeling just because the Pyro could be anyone under the mask, and changelings can literally be anyone.

11226070
That's a good reason

Though similarly, I could've just placed a nameless pony who's just Pyro in Equestria haha

Once he arrived, Saxton Hale punched in the override code, which was literally punching something with his Australian strength.

Gotta say, perfect characterization.

“Spike wondered where half of his team went, he fought back any attempts at destroying his little nest.”
These are two different sentences.

“Saxton Hale was impressed, but something was wrong to him. There was something wrong.”
Redundant.

11244357
Ah right, I was in a rush with this chap, "he alone fought back" was supposed to be there, but now that I think of it, maybe I should put "only" before "he", right thanks for pointing that one out.

As for that Saxton Hale part, I'll edit it

Any progress on the next chapter? I´m really excited to see what happens next!
