As the team walked on, the Sniper suddenly stopped, causing the group to follow suit. "Oy, lookathere! In the distance. Looks like another group, must be dozens of them, and they're heading straight towards us." He pulled his rifle out, looked down the scope, and continued "What's this? They have Hammers and Sickles right there on their ammo belts. Friends of yours, big fella?"

"No. Only friends is Sasha. And her boolets."

The Engineer took this moment to speak up "Well, then, if they're coming to us, we should have a warm welcome ready for em. Frenchy, you do your thing and get behind em, see what you can find out. Soldier, you get out your shovel and get us some nice foxholes. Mundy, head on back a bit and climb up a building, wait for the signal, bring the kid with ya just in case. The rest of y'all help dig." With that, the Engineer started pulling his blueprints...

As the conscripts continued eastward, a sudden explosion sent the first few units flying. Shots started ringing out from amongst the dust, and the conscripts returned fire as several went down. A barrage of rockets and bullet kept coming, and then just as suddenly as it had started, it stopped, leaving but one conscript standing above the carnage. Despite this, the team held their fire. The conscript started to speak: "Oh dear, it appears we've made quite a mess. I doubt there are any survivors left." Just as he spoke, one of the alleged corpses choked out blood.

The Heavy, Pyro and Demoman all ran forth and pinned down the soldier, as the Medic focused his healing beam on the patient. A bullet had crossed through the conscript's left eye, and exited through the side of his skull, but had left his brain intact; as the beams intensified, the ear grew back as the eye stitched itself together. As the conscript started to thrash about, though held back by his restraining captors, the rest of the team came closer to inspect him. "Now, what have we here? A communist soldier? I oughta bash in his skull" said the soldier.

"Hold on one second, pal, we're supposed to ask him what he knows, then kill him, otherwise the doc over there wouldn't have fixed him up in the first place." The Engineer turned towards the conscript "Now then, feller, what do you have to say for yerself?"

Falcon and his troops flew into the city and saw the fighting the conscripts were doing. "Those are Humans we should aid them." The flying squad flew downwards towards the groups.

The Berzerkers still kept running towards the base, Closing in slowly but surely.

The Sniper and Scout, still on the building, were on the lookout, waiting until they got the "all clear". The Sniper had fired a few shots during the fighting, but was now just looking around the pile of bodies in case he had to fire another shot. The Scout was leaningnow the Scout was started talking again. "So like I was saying, I was all 'need tickets to the gun show?' and then I flexed, and she wa- WOAH! HOLY SWEET GOD!! LOOK OVER THERE! LOOK! They're like... dudes in armor. We gotta warn them, bro." The Sniper glanced at what the Scout was pointing at and muttered a curse. The Scout started running downstairs to warn the team, while the Sniper put another rifle down and perched it facing south.


The conscript still hadn't responded to the Engineer, and simply continued struggling like a trapped animal, when the Scout emerged from the nearby building, running towards the group and screaming at the top of his lungs "GUYS! YO! LOOK!!!!" and gesturing to the south. The team looked south, and saw the horde of armor-clad men in the distance. As Scout approached, the group was about to start discussing what to do, when one of the sentries the Engineer had placed started firing straight up. Everyone looked upwards, and saw strange, birdlike figures in the sky, but could not make out any details due to the Sun right behind them. The Heavy punched the conscript to knock him out, and started firing his minigun upwards. The Engineer was frantically upgrading his sentries, while the Medic prepped his first aid materials. The rest of the team prepared to defend themselves if the flyers got in range.
Back at the base, teams of mercs and MIBs were still heading out, scouting in every direction in case they bumped into any enemies.

The Scout would probably be quite shocked to see the Armored giants pick up speed until they were running at a mind-boggling 40Km/h.

The Berzerkers eventually get close enough to the gate and hurl the demo charge at the it, the explosive blasting a massive hole on it and the red clad madmen charging towards the breach and screaming for blood.

"FEAST ON THEIR BLOOD!!!"

OOC: Correct me if I am wrong.

As the Heavy continued to fire upon the flying enemies, the Scout spoke up. "Oh crap you guys! They weren't heading towards us... THEY GOT TO THE BASE!!! Oh man, oh man. The old lady's gonna kill us."

"MMPPH-UMMFF!"

With that, the Engineer set down a teleporter entrance. "Thisere teleporter goes right on back, let's get goin!" With that, he faded away. The next member of the team hopped on. Quickly, everyone else disappeared. The Sniper, still on top of the building, noticed the teleporter several stories below, and the flying enemies above. With a quick curse, he jumped off onto the golden glow. When he landed, he teleported before his splattering blood had a chance to hit the ground.


On the other side, the Medic had barely stepped off the teleporter when he heard agonizing screams behind him. The Sniper was knuckle-walking towards him, femur sticking out of each leg. Instantly, he reached for his medigun, muttered "Dummkoff" under his breath, and repaired the broken legs. The two of them rushed out of the teleporter room, into the center of the base. "Where are zey at?" The loud explosion alerted him of which direction to head.
Back at south side of the base, the charging men in armor had blown a hole in one of the gates, and were currently fighting the mercenaries. Dozens of sentries were firing away when, out of the dust, emerged Hale, holding a now-dead enemy in his hand. "Tough one, weren't ya?"

The ghouls are easily torn apart by the Space Marines, falling to pieces as quickly as they had formed ranks. Their undead cries were overcome and silenced by bullets.

Luke Valentine, however, is not as easy a target. His body blurs with speed, seeming to blink out of existence with how fast he moves, dodging bullets as though they weren't there. He dashes next to several Marines, firing point blank shots at their faces. Jan screams vulgarity in the background, shooting every bullet he's got and jumping around despite numerous bullet holes in his body. An excellent battle indeed.

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

Everyone's long gone, though, so their bullets didn't hit much.

Luke's super speed shooting distracts and enrages the Marines enough for them to stop shooting the Ghouls and try to hit the Vampire with their fists, to obviously little success. Seeing his squad made fools of by Luke, Kain growls in anger before killing a few more Ghouls with his bolt pistol and sprinting towards Luke's general position.

"LEAVE THE ELDAR WENCH TO ME YOU DOGS!!!"

Having fought Eldar of both varieties, Kain is quite confident in that he can get Luke since the one problem with super speed is that you can't easily control momentum and if the champion plays his cards right, He can get the fool to disembowel himself on the chainaxe's hungry teeth.


After slaughtering 20 something mercenaries and ignoring the obvious injuries they sustained from the sentry rockets, The Berzerker squad stopped fighting when they saw Hale.

"He looks strong. HIS HEAD WILL BELONG TO ME!!!!"

The Berzerker charges towards Hale, waving his chainaxe wildly with the rest of his squad following close behind, howling in excitement at the inevitable bloodshed.

As the group of armor-clad men charge in, a large explosion knocks them back, as well as flinging mercenaries across the battlefield. "Looks lik' we git 'ere in th' nuck o' time, boyos" shouted the Demoman as he charged forward, sword-and-shield at the ready. Several of his teammates backing him, up they clashed head-on with the enemy soldiers. Hale, too busy boxing with the chainaxe-wielding man who was separated from his group, took no notice of the rest of the battle. As the fighting wore on, with no side yielding even an inch, the Spy was nowhere to be seen.

The Berzerker dueling Hale was knocked back slightly by Hale's manly punch to the Marine's face, growling; The Berzerker attempts to shoulder tackle Hale and follow up with a fierce swat of his bolt pistol. The Other Berzerkers soon get up, clearly enraged but at the same time pleased that they get to fight superior foes.

"COWARDLY AMBUSHERS!!! BREAK THEM IN HALF!!!"

The Berzerkers charge once more, one closing in on the Demoman and bringing his chainaxe down on the Scot's head while the other two were wildly shooting their bolt pistols as they get closer to the other members of the team.

Amidst the carnage, a voice rang out. "I AM BULLETPROOF!" The Heavy and Medic charged forward, a glistening red glow covering them. Realizing his bullets were useless against the enemy's armor, the Heavy simply started punching them. "All of you are babies!"

A Berzerker is rattled by Heavy's punch, but he avenges himself by slashing the Heavy's torso with his axe while the other one gave chase to the Scout, catching up to him despite his heavy armor.

"STAND AND FIGHT SCUM!!!"

"GGGRRAAAGGGHHH!!!!!"

The same Berzerker that the heavy punched then stomped on the Russian's toes with his heavy, armored boot.

The Heavy, still the target of the Medic's beam, simply shrugged and kept punching the other man.

The Shot struck the armor's backpack and disabled the Berzerker's armor, making his movements incredibly sluggish and effectively neutralizing him; Until he rips the armor off his body of course.

As the Berserker jumped out of his armor, Hale simply took up a defensive position. "I'll let you get out of that contraption, and then we can face each other as men."

Dropping his weapons and with much difficulty, The Berzerker managed to remove the curiass and arm protectors before discarding his helmet, revealing a scar-laden and mutated face that barley qualifies as a human's anymore.

"Strength AND Honor... A truly worthy sacrifice to the blood god you will be."

The Berzerker then removed the leg armor and charged towards Hale, aiming to land a punch on the Aussie's face.

As the Berserker and Hale came to blows, Hale grabs the other man, suplexes, and then stands back up. He picks a crocodile tooth off of his hat, throwing it onto the motionless body. "May you find more battles wherever you are, man". He then sticks his hand inside the Berserker's mouth, pulls out a tooth, and puts it on his hat.

Meanwhile, the Medic's Ubercharge ran out, leaving the Heavy facing the other Berserker without any protection. Another explosion, much smaller than normal, is heard behind him, and the Soldier appeared high in the sky, falling down towards the enemy - shovel in one hand, and laser pistol in the other.

The Conscript in the base was gradually coming to his senses.

"Ugh... chave we won yet?"


Yuri surveyed the battle between MannCo and the Black Legion on one of his many screens, communicating with Premier Romanov over his phone.

"Germans, Yuri? Have you so soon forgotten the havoc that wretched German scientist's inventions continue to wreak on our forces?!"

"As I explained Comrade Premier, these Germans came from a world in which World War II transpired differently. In that world, inconceivable as it seems, we ourselves were a part of the Allied Nations."

"WHAT!? I refuse to believe that!"

"Well, it does not matter now. What is important is that these Germans were never technically opposed to us. Their assiatance may prove useful... More importantly, it would appear that none of these groups are native to this world, or to ours. I suspect some form of dimensional merge is taking place."

"...Is that bad?"

Yuri suppressed the urge to raise his voice at his superior's idiocy.

"Several realities are overlapping with this one, pulling these numerous groups here. Yes, it is bad."

"Well, how do we stop it?"

"First, we must discover what is causing it. I have dispatched Psi-Corps troopers to discretely scan the minds of the otherworlders and discover what if anything they know about our situation...."
