Guardians Saga: Guardians of Teufort

Master Heroes Outpost...

"My name is Darkfire Shadows," Darkfire stated, sitting on a bench on a film set resembling the Respawn Room of 2Fort. He wore his hooded jacket and his chestplate, as well as the Soldier's helmet, boots, and slacks. His blade, Nadir, was strapped to his belt. His Shotgun was holstered, and his Rocket Launcher laid at his side.

"I am the Soldier and team leader of the new team fighting the RED and BLU teams in the Badlands, known as the Guardians." He chuckled. "I’ve led this group since long before we joined this war…” he explained.

Zip, who was holding the camera, nodded. “So, why did you choose to be the Soldier? For that matter, what do you have that your RED and BLU counterparts don’t?” he asked.

Darkfire rubbed his chin. “Well, I’m a lot more agile than them… I use my obsidian sword, Nadir, instead of a shovel… I’m not as insane as them… Oh! I can also control shadows!” To demonstrate, he gathered an orb of pure darkness in his palm. He let it dissipate, chuckling.

Somewhere in Granary...

Darkfire screamed out a battle cry, charging forward. He fired his Shotgun, taking out a RED Scout.

As he charged towards the sounds of battle, he heard Synch shout over the communications system, “Darkfire, Medic to your left!” Darkfire, spun to see the RED Medic fire syringes at him. He growled, firing a rocket and gibbing the German.

He charged out into an open area, joined by Vinyl, Derpy, and Zip. “Move up! Move up!” the Guardians Sniper shouted.

Back on set…

“Why are you battling RED and BLU?” Zip asked.

Darkfire thought for a moment. “Well, we saw how the war was basically at a stalemate, so we decided we would take the areas the RED and BLU teams were fighting at from them, thus ending the neverending war,” he explained.

Zip nodded. “How do you feel about fighting trained killers alongside a bunch of ponies?” he asked with a frown.

Darkfire was shocked, to say the least. “Well, first of all, that ‘bunch of ponies’ are my close friends! And as for fighting trained killers… The world I lived in alongside the ponies was filled with magic and things that are only myths on Earth! Heck, I fought a faceless entity of pure evil once with them at my side! A bunch of guys with guns don’t scare me!” he scoffed.

Back in Granary…

Darkfire charged past Neon, who was ducking behind cover alongside the Doctor and Octavia. “Hey, Shadows!” Neon called out. “There’s a Sentry Gun up there!”

Darkfire nodded, ducking into cover with them. As soon as the Sentry Gun stopped firing, he spun out of cover. He ran up to the Engineer and his Sentry, jumping into the air, he fired a rocket down at the inventor and his machine, killing him, destroying his Sentry, and boosting Darkfire up onto a pipe.

He ran down the pipe, leaping down and gibbing the RED Heavy and Pyro, who were standing on the last control point.

However, as he stood there, he realized the point wasn’t being captured. Sensing movement behind him, he spun, decapitating the enemy Spy with Nadir.

Six seconds later, there was the sound of a bell ringing, and the point changed from blue to green, the Guardians team color.

Zip lowered the camera. “I think we’ve got enough footage, Darkfire.” He walked towards the exit, Darkfire following behind him. However, as the duo left, Zip stopped his ally. “Hey, Darkfire, thanks for helping us out.”

Darkfire grinned. “Of course, Zip. I was once a MAster Hero, so I’m forever a Master Hero.” He walked past Zip, leaving the young hero to think over Darkfire’s words.
