> MLP: Team Fortress 2 is Magic > by Probably Minion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Introduction > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was about 11:00 PM and Twilight was trying to get some sleep because tomorrow she was taking her friends from Equestria to meet her CHS friends for the very first time. However, one certain purple dragon was keeping her from falling asleep since his computer's brightness was on too high. "Oh darn it! Pyro gets me every time in the corner! What was I thinking when I chose to respawn as Scout instead of Heavy at this point of the game?" grunted Spike. "Spike, what in the name of Celestia are you doing?" asked Twilight. "Oh sorry Twilight. I'm just getting really frustrated about the players on this server trolling me and getting me every time." said Spike. "What game are you playing anyway?" asked Twilight. "Team Fortress 2." said Spike. "What's the point of this game?" asked Twilight. "So basically there are two teams within this construction company called Mann Co. The teams are RED and BLU. There are nine characters you can play as, which are called "classes". Each class has their different type of weapons and special abilities. There are multiple game modes you can play. This game is really awesome and addicting. I highly recommend you play it if you get the chance." said Spike. "Oh Spike please. You know that I prefer reading and actually trying to gain knowledge instead of playing video games that are brainwashing ponies. You should get some rest so you'll be ready to go to the other side of the portal in the morning. Good night Spike." said Twilight. "Good night Twilight." said Spike. After Twilight fell asleep 5 minutes later, Spike tried to grab his computer from underneath his covers so he could continue playing. "Ok fine Spike, you can play for ten more minutes." said Twilight. "Yes! Thank you!" said Spike and went right back to playing. > Through the portal > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning, Twilight's friends and the CMC arrived and seemed excited about traveling to another universe. "I can't wait to meet my human counterpart! It's gonna be so awesome!" said Rainbow Dash. "I know right! This week is gonna be something to remember!" said Rarity. "Alright alright, everypony calm down. I know you all are excited as I am about meeting my CHS friends for the first time. They are of course exactly like you except they are human but can't do magic like unicorns are fly like pegasi. I just want you to know things at first will be kind of unusual at first since getting used to your new bodies will take some time. When we get to the other side of the portal, I don't want anyone freaking out when they realize they turned into humans because I don't wanna make a scene when we first arrive." said Twilight. "I have a question. What's Spike gonna turn into once we reach the other side of the portal?" asked Pinkie Pie. "I was just about to get to that. Spike is gonna turn into a talking dog." said Twilight. "Hey Spike, are you gonna bring your computer so we can play Team Fortress 2 when we get there?" asked Scootaloo. "Of course I am. I don't know why I wouldn't bring my computer ever since I found out about Team Fortress 2." said Spike. "Alright any more questions?" asked Twilight. She waited about 10 seconds and no one asked any questions. "Alrighty then! Let's go!" said Twilight and they were on their way to the human universe. > Oh no! Where are we? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, the portal was having technical issues and for some reason wasn't transporting directly to CHS. Instead, the Mane 6 and the CMC ended up in some western-style rural town that was full of metal buildings and shacks. There were signs that said 'RED' and 'BLU' and advertising different types of sodas and guns. There was what looked like a railroad track in the ground. "Where in tarnation are we?" asked Applejack. "I don't know but it's definitely not where my CHS friends live." said Twilight. "Wait a minute. I think the portal took us to...... MANN CO!" said Spike. "What in the name of Celestia is Mann Co?" asked Rarity. "It's the company in which RED and BLU do battle in Team Fortress 2." said Sweetie Belle. "Yeah and since there's a railroad in the ground, RED and BLU are probably playing Payload right now." said Applebloom. All of a sudden, there were random gunshots, rockets firing, and a train car with blue siren being pushed on the rail track. "Quick! Take cover! Team BLU is about to get the payload to the end point!" yelled Spike and everyone quickly took cover. "Team BLU is victorious!" said the voice of a woman through a loud speaker. "Oh yeah! Victorious once again!" said Scout. "Yeaaaaaaaaaah! Run RED cowards!" yelled Heavy who was randomly shooting RED team members with his minigun. In the midst of all the madness, the BLU Medic saw the ponies huddled under the cover. "What are you mysterious creatures doing here? You could have all easily been killed!" said Medic. "We're so sorry sir! We were trying to meet my friends however our portal get messed up and we ended up here by accident. This was totally unintentional. We'll leave as soon as possible." said Twilight. "Wait a minute! Are you the cast of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"?" asked Medic. "Yep. That would be us." said Fluttershy. "Oh my goodness! Me and everyone else on BLU are really big time bronies! We've always wanted to have you guys here! Come with me and we'll get you suited up for the next battle!" said Medic. "Oh boy! We get to see what it's like being in battle!" said Scootaloo. "Maybe we'll get our cutie marks in Team Fortress 2." said Applebloom. "Why the hay do the mercs want us to fight with them? I barely know anything about this game." said Applejack. "I'm really confused too. The only thing we can do is follow their commands and hope for the best." said Twilight as they headed towards BLU's headquarters. > Welcome to BLU > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once they got settled in the comforts of BLU's headquarters, Medic told Soldier to give the ponies the low down on what was up next. "Alright ponies listen up! We're gonna enter a hard battle first thing tomorrow morning! Please hold any and all questions until I'm finished with my presentation!" said Soldier. "Oh boy! I wonder what game we're gonna play first!" thought Spike. "The battle we'll be entering into is called Special Delivery. The point of this game is to get the Australiam to the rocket while trying to keep the other team from doing the same. I personally believe this will be a walk in the park if we all work together and those RED maggots from touching the Australiam." said Soldier. "Hey Soldier I have a question. What class are each of us gonna be?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I don't know the answer to that question. That's gonna be something you will have to decide amongst yourselves." said Soldier. "Don't worry Soldier. I know these ponies better than anyone. I know exactly which class each of them should be." said Spike. "Fair enough dragon. Now you ponies get some rest and be ready at the break of dawn for what's gonna be a battle for the ages. See you in the AM." said Soldier and he marched out if the room. ************************************ Later that night, Spike did what he promised and helped the ponies choose which class they would be. "Ok Rainbow Dash, since you're fast and athletic, I think you should be Scout." said Spike. "Yes! I was hoping you would ask me to be the Scout!" said Rainbow Dash. "Pinkie Pie, I think you should b e the Pyro partly due to the fact that his theme song sounds almost exactly like your Smile Song." said Spike. "Sounds good to me!" said Pinkie. "Twilight, I think you should be the Sniper since the Sniper usually surveys the play area and guns down any intruders." said Spike. "Perfect! I'll probably read when there isn't any danger in sight." said Twilight. "Fluttershy, I chose you to be the Medic since you're the pint who's always taking care of the animals and don't seem to like violence very much." said Spike. "Fair enough. I was kind of hoping you would choose me to be the Medic." said Fluttershy. "Rarity, you're gonna be the Spy because I thought you would find his clothing to be appealing." said Spike. "Why thank you darling!" said Rarity. "Applejack, you'll be the Engineer since his southern attitude reminds me of you and you're always the one who seems to be on point and fixing things when needed." said Spike. "You got it Sugarcube!" said Applejack. "As for the CMC, Applebloom will be the Heavy, Scootaloo will be the Demoman, and Sweetie Belle will be the Soldier." said Spike. "YAY!" said the CMC. "As for myself, I'm gonna spectate and sort of be your coach since I know so much about Team Fortress 2." said Spike. "Are you sure Sugarcube? We could really use you out there. I'd be willing to alternate being the Engineer with you if you want." said Applejack. "That's ok Applejack. I kinda wanted to coach you guys anyway." said Spike. "Ok just let me know if you change your mind." said Applejack. "Ok let's rest up so we'll be ready to go in the morning." said Rainbow Dash and they all went to bed. > Meanwhile.................... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile in the human world, Twilight's CHS friends were sitting near the horse statue just outside the school waiting for Twilight along with her Equestria friends to arrive. "What's with the delay? They should have been here 2 days ago." said Rainbow Dash. "I hope they're ok. Maybe there's something wrong with the portal." said Sunset Shimmer. Pinkie Pie then jumped off the edge of the statue to show something very unusual that came up on her computer. "Pinkie, what are you doing?" asked Applejack. "I think I may have an explanation for why Twilight and her friends haven't arrived here yet." said Pinkie. "What game is that?" asked Rarity. "It's Team Fortress 2. I just started playing it last week. And for some reason, BLU's characters look almost exactly like what I think are our pony counterparts." said Pinkie. "Ha ha Pinkie, likely story. From what I know, the only character that are playable on Team Fortress 2 are the nine standard classes." said Rainbow Dash. "No I'm serious. If my Pinkie sense is correct, I'm assuming that the portal might have accidentally taken Twilight and her Equestria friends to Mann Co instead of our world and BLU enlisted them because of the fact that everyone on BLU are bronies." said Pinkie. "How did you come up with that?" asked Applejack. "Just a hunch." said Pinkie. "I wonder if we go into the portal it would take us to Mann Co and we can see Twilight and her Equestria friends there." said Rainbow Dash. "You know what, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. Let's do it." said Applejack. "I just hope if we end up having to play we get enlisted by BLU. I don't wanna kill Twilight or any of her friends." said Fluttershy. "Fluttershy please, don't worry about it. I can almost guarantee you RED doesn't have any bronies on their team. BLU would love to have us on their team." said Rainbow Dash. "Alright enough talking. Let's go." said Applejack and they stepped into the portal and were hopefully headed to Mann Co.
