Chapter 1: Goodbye, Earth!
"Thank you! All of you!" Twilight said, with a smile on her face as she waved goodbye to her new human friends
"Goodbye, little ponies!" The Heavy said in response, waving off with his sandvich
"Don't ferget t' wright, ya hear?!" the Engineer joined in on the goodbye,
"Shneil! Ze portal vill close any moment now!" The Medic warned the two ponies, as the began trotting over to the engineered portal.
"Prancin' show ponies...betta' stay safe out there..." The Sniper groaned, leaning in Scouts direction, who was getting antsy...
Suddenly, Fluttershy stopped and looked back to everyone. "Um, excuse me, Mr.Engie?"
"Yeah?" Engie said, as he moved his goggles over his eyes.
Fluttershy looked to Twilight, who was waiting for her friend, before looking back. "Um, if it's alright with you, can one of you...maybe...come with us?" She suggested shyly, dragging her hoof on the ground as she let out a shy smile.
The Engineer chuckled at that. "Well ain't that jus' cute! Ya know, we would if we could, but we got in enough of a tussle with that there administrator up there!" He said, pointing to the microphones. "and even if we could come along, we would'a probably broken somethin' up in yer dimension! Too risky in either situation pardner!" He said. It was quite reasonable for this kind of dimension jumping. Who knows if they would be able to comeback, anyway?
Fluttershy sighed, but nodded understandably. "Well, alright, but if you find some time, please try and visit us!" She suggested, before turning around to leave.
Everyone smiled at the thought of using this portal to go to their dimension for vacation. It was a very calming thought, and it was just what they needed to take their break from their BLU adversaries!
Twilight and Fluttershy said their final goodbyes, before entering the portal.
"Welp...I reckon that that's about that! Doc, switch it off, will ya?" Engie said, as the Medic went over to the machine that kept the portal stable, but he didn't do anything. "Come on doc, switch th' darn thing off!"
"Erm....It needs a...password..." Medic said, rubbing the back of his head in slight confusion.
"A password? When did I put that in?" The Engineer said, as he went over, wrench in hand just in case he had to fix something.
"Yes, a password, now, vas it 'irene' or vas it 'sntry'?" He asked, looking to the Engineer for support.
"Well...I dunno, try 'dmspy' or maybe-" The Engineer was stopped by the sudden shout of the Sniper.
"OI! STOP THAT BLOODY RABBIT!" He warned everyone, as the Scout made a break for it. The Heavy was the closest one there, so he began chasing down the Scout, almost within reach of him.
"No! Little Scout can't go!" He reminded the Scout, who didn't listen, as he jumped for the portal.
The Heavy quickly tried to grab onto the Scout, but the Scout made it through, and the Engineer was too slow to destroy the machine to stop the portal, causing the Heavy to roll forward and into a wall due to the portal dissapearing just before he would accidentally go in.
This can't go well...
===========================================================================
The Scout let out a whoop of victory as he went through a continuous, gravityless fall through the space between dimensional rifts, as he shoved his fists in the air, also, in victory!
Finally, he can now see this world of never ending peace, a place where he doesn't need to worry about the world he just left behind! Finally, he can live a new life and actually not be a criminal for it! AWESOME!
He can see it now, the end of the portal right ahead of him. Goodbye Earth, hello Equestria!
The Scout flew out from the portal, and looked down....
Is that a cloud?
Scout gulped, as the gravity of this world latched onto him and pulled him down, breaking the entire cloud with the speed he was falling at. JESUS CHRIST, THE GROUNDS *RIGHT THERE!!!***
The Scout screamed, as he was headed straight for the ground, his face making very harsh impact with the ground, as he skidded across it, knocked out entirely the second he hit the ground. Only seconds later, he felt something dragging him, but he was unconscious, so he couldn't whip out his bat at the time to teach them a good lesson.
He could have sworn that he heard some kind of buzzing sound, though...
===========================================================================
Scout woke up, moments later, yawning and stretching, only to feel his hands reach the edge of some kind of really slimy surface...and not only that, but he was waist deep in some kind of green liquid that felt suspiciously like....
Oh god, is this the Sniper's jarate or something?! Yuck! Is this how they treat their new guests?!
Scout groaned as he wiped the sleep out of his eyes, and looked around. He was in some kind of...well...something...He didn't know what to call it so he just called it what he thought would be most appropriate for it...
A bladder ball...
Anyway, Scout looked around his surroundings and found it to be very dark. Luckily, he still had his bag on him, so he had all his weapons that allowed escape. He took his bat out from it and sliced open the easy to break skin of the bladder ball he was in, releasing him and all that disgusting liquid from the inside. He made very hard impact with the ground, which caused him to groan in pain as he rubbed his now aching butt.
He got up slowly, groaning as he did so, due to his recent injury, and looked up at the ceiling. There are quite a lot of broken bladder balls around on the ceiling, as if there were many others that were in a similar situation....
Whoever else was in that situation must have barfed at least twelve times...
Jeez, who's idea was this?!
Well, whoever's idea this was, Scout was gonna beat him t' death 'till his head can think straight!
"Ah! The strange beast has finally become a changeling, has he?" Said a feminine voice. One that reminded Scout a very aggrovating person that he knows off...one that likes to deceive people, primarily.
"Huh? The hell are 'ya talkin' about?" The Scout asked, looking to the...thing that said that.
It looked like a pony, but it was more of an insect than anything else. Well, maybe it looked a bit more like a decayed corpse, really, with the holes in it's skin and all...but it still looked a lot like an insect.
It blinked, then it got a serious face. "Hang on, how did you escape?!" It questioned, getting in a pounce-ready position.
The Scout chuckled. "What, ya mean outta that ball o' piss ya had me in? That thing's made outta somethin' weak or somethin'...Maybe that somethin' weak was you!" He said, laughing, only to get pounced on shortly afterwards.
"Alright, whatever you are, you're definitely not a pony and you're not a changeling either! So, since you're neither, I might as well kill you now!" The beast said, with a low growl of anger as it bared his teeth. "So then, any last words, hairless monkey?" She asked, in a mocking tone.
"Yeah...Start takin' breathmints pal, yer breath smells like crap, oh, and, ya got bullets in yer face..." Scout respondid cockily, before quickly reaching into his bag, taking out his scattergun, and pumping the thing's face full of led, as it flew off of the Scout as it held onto its face, yelling out bloody murder as it did.
This seemed to bring more, but smaller versions of this beast, which quickly surrounded the Scout. He quickly got up, and gave a cocky smile. "Ha! Ya call this n' army?! I got eight people back home who can easily beat th' livin' snot outta all of ya's!" He mocked, before jumping on one's head as he made his escape. "Now, if ya'd excuse me, I got places t' be!"
He jumped on head after head of bugs who charged towards the Scout, trying to attack him as soon as he landed on a head, but in doing so, they left the exit open, leaving a clean getaway for the Scout, as he successfully made his exit...
Outside of a window...
The Scout began falling again, groaning in his stupidity of being too fast for his own good. So there he was, falling, before he fell onto a cloud.
He landed fast first into a soft, fluffy cloud, which slowly drifted him off of where the wind was blowing.
He blinked, as he removed his face from the cloud and looked around. Yep, he was definitely on a cloud, but how and why was he on a cloud?
He didn't really know, all he knew was he was safe...at least, he thinks he's safe...Depends on if he could make this cloud into a thundercloud that can automatically shoot enemies that come at him, but he couldn't do that, so he just sat there and went along with the ride. Lucky him!
He slowly drifted away from the large castle he was just in. He blinked as he looked at the uncanny resemblance to the picture he had in his mind and the actual view of the place in front of him.
It looked like the paint and everything was falling apart, and was now either a light gray, or a shiny black.
This was, absolutely no doubt, Canterlot...
Strange...Not what he expected it to be colored, but obviously, this wasn't what he was told. Something was wrong here...
Scout yawned. He was really tired for some reason. Maybe being hit on the head really hard drains out your energy a lot more than it usually does....ah well, he was on a cloud! People always wanted to sleep on a cloud, so he might as well beat them to it! Sorry suckers!
The Scout grinned to himself, as he started shifting a pillow out of the cloud, and laying his head down on it to begin his sleep...
Weird, why does sleeping like this somehow remind him of sleeping with Fluttershy?
Something was definitely wrong there...
===========================================================================
"Oh, hold still darling! Let me just fix that darn patch on your clothes!"
"Um, Rarity, are you sure that this is what we should be doing while we try to make a rebellion...?"
"Of course dear! Can't take over a changeling queen without looking the part, can we?"
"Uh, hun, ya know that these measuremeants ya wrote down for us don't exactly work now that we're changelings....right?"
"Oh quiet you! I can simply just tighten them up if they don't fit right! Now, tell me Twilight, does that fit you?"
"Well, yes but-"
"That's all I needed dear! Now, Fluttershy, if you would be so kind as to bring me the gems from that box over there?"
Everypony except Rarity let out a sigh. This obviously was going to be a waste of time if Rarity spends all of it on trying to make all their armor look as fashionable as possible.
"Come on Rare, We're losin' hours!" Applejack said, trying to coax Rarity from her fashionista phase and start being helpful.
"Oh, fine! But I still think the gems would look nice though!" She argued, as she started to make the armor more buff. It is supposed to be armor, anyway....
"Hey, guys! Look what I found!" Rainbow Dash said, pointing out of the Library window with her hoof. Everypony except Twilight and Rarity went to go and look, seeing a cloud with what looked like another pony on it...or at least his or her wing made it look like a pony was on the cloud, but that was enough clarification!
"Come on Fluttershy! Let's go up and check it out! Maybe he'll help us!" Rainbow said, as she dashed out of the front door, with a negligent Fluttershy following behind her hesitantly.
"M-m-maybe we shouldn't Rainbow..." She tried to say, only for her small voice to be unheard over the flapping of Rainbow Dash's wings, and the distance between them.
Fluttershy sighed, as she followed Rainbow through the sky.
When she got over the cloud to see who it was, she gasped, soon after Rainbow did.
"W-W-What is that?!" Rainbow couldn't help but ask, as she saw the...thing wearing red that was napping on the cloud.
"Rainbow! Don't be so rude!" She said, scolding her confused friend.
"W-What? Fluttershy, do you even know what this even is?" Rainbow said, confused for her friends defense over this strange anima-....
Oh...wait a moment...
Rainbow Dash facepalmed. "Ya know what Fluttershy? Don't answer that....So, what is that?"
"First of all, 'it's' a 'he', and his name is 'Scout'..."
