Dimensional Hero: The Equestrian World
Chapter 18: Tuefort Roadhouse
Previous Chapter( To under stand whos talking I made a chart for people and classes. # = Medic, * =Sniper, ! = Scout, $ = Spy, . =Heavy,& = Soldier, % =Demoman,^ = Engineer, _ = Pyro)
Canterlot.
Me, Celestia and Luna were in a state of confusion and thought.
But Ben how can we stop it when he or... it comes?
Even with your kind of power you could lose against him.
I know the stacks are high but I'm the only one who can bring him down.
Your world has already gone through enough as it is.
But Ben you don't know what going up with.
If it was able to defeat Tirek when he had more power then all of Equestria's magic then it will be more then...
ALERT! ALERT UNIDENTIFED PORTAL ENERGY
CODE 59
The watch beeped out.
Is it Shockwave again? Celestia asked.
No. He came from D57.
D59 is a completely different world.
Then who or what lives there?
I don't remember...
Red's Base.
( Engi's p.o.v.) [Because I like engineer]
I was in the lab with Medic trying to figure out what the strange black substance was.
Medic had injected several kinds of medicines and other liquids to see what the reactions was.
(I can't make the medic do his German voice so bare with me on normal words...)
Engi can you bring me substance 57392
^ Alrighty doc.
When me and Medic were busy in the lab the others were busy doing what ever.
Scout and Heavy found it amazing on getting high with Medics Quick fix medgun.
Soldier was outside practicing rocket jumps and testing his new base jumper.
Spy was in his smoking room.
Sniper was on the roof trying to shot any birds that would annoy him.
Pyro was down in the bases boiler room. ( Why in the name of Irene he is I have no idea partner.)
And Demo was drunk as usual.
% Ohhhhhh I'm going to lick ya...
Cause I'm the demopan...
ALERT!
We all turned from what we were doing to listen to the intercom.
Our Intelroom as been BREECH!
We a second to spare we all go our weapons and raced to the intel.
When me and Medic get there we found the others standing in front of a large green portal.
And knowing what happened last time with a portal with stood our ground as I got a sentry built.
Fire House Lab
It was a few minutes after detecting the portal.
Me, Celestia and Luna flew back to the fire house as fast as possible.
Taking the service lift down we got to the lab.
To my surprise Twilight and the others where there.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack had their proton packs on.
Pinkie with her party cannon. ( like it would work in a fight..)
Fluttershy was behind them next to a barrier holding a trap and arm pack shaking out her wits as Twilight and Rarity stood ready to use magic.
Twilight? since when did you get down here?
I felt a huge surge of magical energy.
I seemed to come from here. But when we got here you weren't here with the groundbridge open. but it had a red and blue color.
You think its the dark slime. Celestia asked.
Don't know.
When a tech portal is infected by a supernatural energy it takes the color of the substance.
Like when it turned dark blue because of the energon.
And we're dealing with a black,purple and red slime.
Soo what is causing that?
I don't know.
We all stood there wondering what to do next.
To stay and guard the portal.
Or go in and see what's there.
A few minutes pass as we waited for anything to happen.
I was upstairs working on a quick little RC probe that I could sen through the portal.
Finished I though to my self.
I made my way back down to see an unexpected surprise.
Big Mac, Shining, and Soarin wearing 3 of my full-sized proton packs standing guard.
Each of them was wearing a proton pack based on their color too.
What the...how the...what are you guys doing here?
The girl asked us to come and help watch Shining stated.
Nice place Ben. I bet you can really fly around in here easily Soarin commented.
Uhhh...thanks...
What you got there Ben? Twilight asked.
It's a little RC probe I made to...
What's RC?
Remote control...
I'll send this through the portal to see what's awaits us.
I set the probe in the tunnel, take a few steps back, and slowly inch the rc car into the portal.
As I did they all watched the main screen as a flash of light ment it went through.
Red Intelroom.
After the probe slowly went through the camera started to malfunction.
As I slowly drove the probe further we could hear voices.
Hey...En...what the heck...i...s...that...?
IT...S...A..BOM...B...FROM TH..E...BL...
WHAT...?!
We watched as a small red can destroyed the camera let alone the probe.
Ben...what was...that. Fluttershy asked when curled up in a chair.
I just stood there think of what had just happened.
Alright.
Twilight, Big Mac, Shining, and Applejack will go through the portal.
Celestia and Luna I need you to work the bridge controls.
Alright Ben.
For the rest of you I need you to stay here for when anything happens when we're gone.
They all nod as we stepped to the ground bridge tunnel.
I stop and dial my full power suit as the others geared up
Shining and Mac had proton packs when Twi and AJ cared supplies.
Alright
Keep your cloak on until I say.
They shack their heads as we made our way to the vortex.
And in a flash of red Light we went through.
Back at the Base
For a moment we were all curious.
I looked at what use to be a small car with a camera on it before it meet Demo's grenade.
$ What do you think it was?
^ I don't know but I want to know who or what sent it.
Before we could ask the portal flickers as what looks like a person walks through.
Wearing an armored suit.
! What the hell is that...?
^ I don't know Scout.
& Is it from the Blu's?...
. Yent, to shiny Soldier.
( Ben's p.o.v.)
There I stood in the portal.
Looking at the 9 humans.
One was fairly skiny wearing a red t-shirt and baseball cap, One had a chin belt around his body.
The others were also different to the eye.
There was a construction worker, A strange doctor, A soldier whose helmet was covering his eyes, One seemed like he was Australian and the other French.
One had an eye patch with yellow bombs down the sides of his chest and the other was in a hazard suit.
Under the face mask I was smiling so big that Pinkie Pie would try to do better.
Well isn't this a surprise. I said in a joyful tone.
My God guys you haven't changed.
They all looked at me in confusion.
$ I might as well be the first to ask but who are you.
Oh I forgot you guys never saw me in my armor.
I retracted my helmet and face mask.
As I did so their faces turn from being confused to complete joy
BEN! They all said in unison.
With in a moment I get swarmed by everyone as Heavy picked me up.
^ Hot damn boy we did know it was you.
I guess the suit gave it the answer...
$ Indeed.
.Come lets enjoy this moment with drinks.
% EYE
I thought to my self that I forgot that they were connected to D2 and one of the teams searching for me.
Before we stat to walk away I quickly jumped down from Heavy and ran back to the portal.
Is there something wrong Ben?
No but I forgot the others.
At the word others they turned to each other in another confused state.
Alright Twi,. you can show your selves.
In a flash of purple light the ponies that wasn't there seconds ago and stands.
Pyro and soldier ready their weapons at the surprise.
Easy guys they're my friends.
They we're in shock and complete disarray.
Guys I want you to meet Twilight Sparkle, Applejack,Shining Armor and Big McIntosh.
or you can call him Big Mac. AJ stated.
^ Well ah...nice to meet you. Engineer said with a two toned voice.
After 30 seconds of silence the sound of growling stomachs from everyone.
^ Well I reckon we go on and grab some grub.
I'm down with that.
Taking the fact on how fast some of them got over the fact of talking,colorful ponies that came out of a portal was still a bit surprising.
But what do we do with ze portal?
I'll put it on lock down on the other side. The Others are waiting to get the green light.
* Well if there more you might as well send them to.. Sniper groaned.
Alright guys your clear.
On cue more came through.
Soon standing before us and the RED's was Rainbow Dash,Soarin, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity.
$ Umm are they all females?
I turned at Spy giving a awkward look at his question.
Spy...
$ Yes?
Just don't...
% EYE are we just going to stand here all day lasys or are we not hungry.
& I agree with Demo
& The body need to be in its ultimate form for war.
War? Twilight said under her breath as we all walked to the mess hall.
7 minutes later...
We were going all our in the mess hall.
The guys enjoyed their meals and practical jokes with me as the ponies sat on the table beside us.
I don't know guys but I have a strange feeling that they aren't to be trusted.
Come on Twilight.
We've been in this place before when his sister and darn robots came.
Ya AJ but you do have to remember that we are in another world.
Just then Medic walked out holding a large tray of Burgers..!
THEY EAT MEAT!
In a large gasp every pony looked in horror as I was about to eat a hamburger.
Ba...Be...Ben... but how...can you...
I turn to see the horror in their faces. Remembering in their world they don't eat meat.
Wo...wo...wow...take it easy guys this isn't what you think it is. I said holding the burger in my hand.
I know what your think and it's not that...
This is Fake meat..
It looks, smells and taste like real meat but it's not.
The patty I'm holding now took 6 months to make by chemicals.
And if you don't belive me try it.
I slowly hand the burger to them.
Still in utter shock they don't even move. Until AJ steps up and grabs the burger.
Are...you sure it's...not REAL MEAT...?
I nod as she slowly descends to take a bite.
The others watch in horror.
Fluttershy,Twilight and Rarity nearly hurl. As she chews the sandwich.
Her eyes shoot open.
But to everyone's surprise it wasn't in disgust or horror. Instead it was in a wonder.
This tastes...tastes...tastes...AMAZING!
In a shear second she finishes my burger.
You all want to taste this.
Demo brings over a small plate of the fake meat.
They take a moment to realize what their about to do.
Soon they slowly take a bite and get filled with wonder.
Happy...
Ben this is incredible! Twilight mumbled.
After the short conflict we soon got back to the fun.
Soldier and Demo went to a drinking contest.
And of course Demo wins by a landslide.
Scout tried to arm wrestle Heavy but ended up having his arm blent the wrong way.
MEDIC!
.HA, YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR ME.
I walked over and proposed an offer.
Set them up big guy.
HA You think you could bet me?!
Strange Natasha and Vintage Sandvich says other wise.
Soon Heavies eyes shot open in excitement.
.Alright then...Set them up.
As I lock hands the others join in around.
^ Alrighty then in 3...2...1...GO!
On cue me and heavy go out in full force.
Give up...yet...
.Never!
Soon Heavies veins start to show.
.DOCTOR!
Yeah?
.CHARGE ME!
With waiting Medic hits hm with the Kritzkrieg.
Soon his arm was glow/sparking red energy.
But in the final push I smack his hand down.
. NOOOooooooo!..
Wow Ben I never knew you were that strong. Twilight commented.
Thanks...
. Deal is deal. Treat Natasha good and enjoy sandvich.
You can keep the sandvich big guy.
. Thank you...
On the other side of the room Medic and Engi were discussing about the strange slime they found.
After coming to a conclusion they slowly walk up to me.
^ Hey a Ben...there's something we need to ask you.
Sure, what is it?
Well earlier yesterday at Tuefort I found a pool of strange black ooz.
I stood there frozen that once again Dark Slime has played a role in the event.
Show Me.
Shortly after We arrive at Medic's Lab where several canisters of Dark Slime stood.
Where did you find this...?
It was near our respawn room in the intel room.
^ We found more at Doublecross and Gold rush.
We've done experiments on it and so far nothing planned or thought of.
Like...
Well reaction's of other chemicals and objects.
And so far nothing.
^ But when ever some one would say something Negative or bad then it bubbles even more up.
^ We had three jars,each from the 3 places. But after the test we got nearly 17 full.
Knowing their interest of the slime I broke it to them.
You guys are familiar with Black slime right?
Of course that's why we did the testing to it.
Well this isn't Black Slime... its Dark Slime.
What?
Just then Spy walked in.
$ Then what is this...Dark Slime?
Well I'm myself am trying to fully under stand it but I'll tell you what I know so far.
It's a form of Black slime but is more potent. Normal Slime can't remove it unless you can keep a stream on it for a good 5 minutes.
It's what I've found to be the Blood of evil. It's so toxic it can lead to death and possession.
^ Well where did the darn stuff come from?
That's a three million dollar question.
All that I know is that it came from the ponies world. It has a large amounts of this stuff.
There's more of it then Mood and Black slime combine.
After saying what needed to be said the only look on the three Red's faces was utter shock, disbelief and confusion.
PREPARED FOR DEPLOYMENT!
The announcer shouts out of the intercom
. OH COME ON... WAS JUST ATE!...
Heavy yelled from down the hall.
^ Well I guess we odd a get to work.
$ indeed.
I'm coming with you guys on this one.
In case there is any sign of slime or if you need some extra fire power.
I MUST SAY HAVING A POWERFUL HERO ON THE BATTLE FEILD WOULD CHANGE THE TIDES IN OUR FAVOR!
After making our way back to the mess hall I say that Big Mac and Heavy were at it arm or...hoof wreaslting.
When the others geared up for another battle.
^ Well... I don't know if you'll fit in one of Scouts shirts but...
What's this now? Rarity asked walking over to us.
Oh well I'm going with the guys on this and apparently I don't have clothes that...
OH, well If it's clothes that the problem then I can handle it.
Do you have any red fabric?
! Umm Yeah, It's in the storage closet.
Rarity could only smile at the large crate of fabric.
Give me five minutes.
Shocking the team even more by her speed and magic.
Rarity manages to make a complete uniform for me.
^ Impressive.
Why thank you.
After a few touches I was ready.
I walked out wearing all nine class figures.
Two straps of of pin grenades, A ammo belt, two pistols, a flare gun.
On my back was a shotgun, a shovel and a smaller version of Sniper's rifle.
^ Hot damn boy you look like you look like you can take on an army.
I could only smile at Engi's comment.
I'm so adding this into my transformations... I chucked.
= Mmph Mmhp Mmmmmmph.
= Mmmp Mmhp Mmph Mmmph.
(Translated: Oh come onnnnnnn. Not my Flare Gun.)
$ Well now that the moment has passed let's get to work.
We all gather up at the teleporter room.
What's that? Twilight asked In a curiosity of the odd device.
^ Well it's ah my teleporter.
^ Designed and built by your truly.
But at about the ground bridge? She said turning to me.
Well they don't prefer having it because of how complex it is.
But you can say this is a smaller down graded version.
On top of the stairs was two rotating disk like objects with a red vortex emitting from it.
One by one we entered the teleporters.
Soon me, Medic and Engi were left.
^ Now I'm most sure that a battle field is not the place for cute littles ponies. Soo you guys will have to stay here.
But you can watch us from the monitors up stairs.
Soon Medic and Engi teleported away leaving me and the girls.
As I stood there waiting it to charge back up I could only see a a little smile from some.
Catch yeah on the flip side.
Soon I was teleported away.
Fire house-Equestria
( Luna's p.o.v.)
There stood me and my sister.
Waiting for the others to return from the portal.
I do hope they are ok Celestia said in a worried voice.
Soon a royal guard came running down the stairs.
BEN! YOUR HIGHNESS!...
Where's Ben?! Yelled the exhausted guard.
He is busy with something important. I tell him.
What is the problem?
Something Is happening at the Crystal Empire...
Tuefort
I was finally in the spawn room as everyone was getting ready.
Heavy walked up to me caring a large minigun.
.Here. I do not know if she works still but...
I pull the trigger as my Assault Cannon minigun spun to life.
Purrs like a kitten
(chucks at the comment.)
MISSION BEGINS IN 10 SECONDS!
^ Just like old times Ben?
Just like old times...
3...2...1...BEGIN!
For the next few hours.
Back at the base the ponies were busy trying to find something to do.
Shining and Big Mac were in the storage room looking a th weapons and giant bombs on carts.
Applejack was admiring Engineer's builds to the fact of a true Texan. Rarity once again was busy making more cloths but for the others.
Twilight and Rainbow Dash sat in the sirvalince office watching both teams go at it.
And once again Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were in the kitchen. ( weird how much they like to cook?)
In the Office Twilight watch the screens we worry plastered to her face.
She saw the Reds and Blu's ding everywhere.
Please be okay Ben...
On cue a screen showed me in the Blu's intelroom with Scout hold at appears to be a glowing briefcase...?
WE HAVE TAKING THE ENEMY INTELLIGENCE!
Right before we could breath we see 3 rockets explode Me in pieces of meat everywhere.
On a screen behind them was a score bore style screen were my face had darkened out.
Twilight was in over drive to think what she can do. But before that Dash points out something.
Twi look. In that respawn place.
Inside a large vortex was spinning in the small room.
On Cue I pop out of nowhere completely fine. I ran out the door like it was nothing.
In a split second I kill a Demo who nearly killed Scout down the stair.
! Thanks man!
2 seconds later...
VICTORY!
After a nice day of work we gathered at the spawn.
Demoman beginning drunk as usual past ou in his favorite corner.
Even if I've been gone for years it all seems like I never left.
Da.
Engi walks in setting his builds down and slowly starts playing a tone on his guitar.
Suddenly the ground shakes like an earthquake.
What was noise?
^ I Don't 's?
Lets go check.
We get outside to the courtyard were a Blu scout was all the way up a pole with large gash marks on his legs.
& HE'S HERE TO SPY ON US!
Soldier yelled out pulling his Rocket launcher ready.
WAIT!
To everyone's surprise I slowly walk up to the pole and bring the Scout down.
B! NO! LET ME BACK UP THERE!
B! IT'S IN THE GROUND
Everyone was surprise of what the Blu Scout wanted.
What did he mean Under ze Ground?
^ And why is it all quiet now?
We all turn to th place were once so called generator was standing.
I thought to myself what's happening. Trying to remember a place where this happened before...Perfection, Nevada...
EVERYONE DON'T MOVE!
But without thinking Demo stumbles out of the room crashing bottles everywhere.
% EYE what are we...burppp...doing..
! DEMO SHUT THE HELL UP...
% What.
Out of nowhere the ground starts to push up under his feet.
In one big blast of dark a gigantic creature shoots out was it eats demo in one bite.
! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!?
GARBIOD!
% HELP ME! AHHHhhhhh...
& What the hell just happened?
^ What was the black thing?
Garbiod.
A what.
Garbiod's ae something like a mutated worm. But these worms are 30 feet long and have lived longer then the dinisours.
Using sonar to track movement.
I've gone at them before with the 3 others to rid them in Nevada and Mexico.
Soon Demo stumbles out of the respawn.
% HA! THE NO EYED BASTARD DID REALLY GET ME!
% Hey...where's MY F***EN BOTTLE!
Anywhy...these thing's are not to play with. Just a watch beeping off will bring them to you.
But what's more interesting is that It was more black. They are always a tan, shaded white or gray.
^ What do you reckon we do?
First find and Kill one. After that find out what's making them black.
Do you zink that it's ze dark slime?
Well...in time Medic we'll find out.
Guy's we're going to need a lot of stuff.
^ I'm on it.
Demo can ou make a bomb strong enough to match 3 points of potassium?
% Yeah
A few hours later..
9:37 pm
We were gathered outside the Tuefort base.
Engi had finished the greatest Garbiod attacker.
A sentry gun hot wired to 3 minigun guns and 2 stick bomb activator.
Soon Demo walked out caring a small barrel containing his most powerful bomb ever made.
% I remember that this is a one time use.
So only one shot..,
^ Well everything is ready. All we need is bait.
( awkward silence) We all turned to Scout.
! What?...NO! WAY!
( 20 seconds later..)
! Ummm...Ben remind me why I have these cans and bottles on me?
It's simple. With your speed and sound they would be coming from miles around.
! Oh...
^ Stay sharp green bean you got company.
In one large rumble a hill of moving dirt speed to Scout.
! Ah guys ANY TIME NOW!
Wait until it reaches the surface before we can.
Scout could only watch as a the hill shot up in a cloud of dust.
There standing out of the ground was a 30 foot long worm With 3 smaller tenticals hanging out side its mouth.
HIT HIM HARD!
Soon a wall of Bullets, Rockets, Grenades, and Needle's ( because of medic).
DEMO THE BOMB!
% EYE!
Demo yelled chucking the giant bag of explosive at the monster
SNIPER YOUR UP!
* On it mate.
With one pull of a trigger sniper sends the Garbiod into fling pieces of flesh.
After the large screeching noise of its death we gathered around what use to be it's head.
! Sniper..I think you took the words Head Shot to a whole new level..
* You got that right mate.
I walked up to the dead creature. I've never been in arms length of one that did try to eat me.
Just by looking at it had streams of dark slime covering the giant.
^ So that's what dark slime looks like?
Yeah. But this is a first for me seeing something completely covered and undercontroll.
I scrape off a sample of the Garbiod blood that was infected by the slime.
When everyone celebrated the little victory Engi was in a state of worry.
^ Umm guys I hate to be the one who always brings bad news but...
^ You all may want to take a look.
He holds up a screen showing ten littles dots and a map of the area.
! And what is that?
^ Well you see those dots...it's us. And the black blob is the dead Garbiod.
A how is that bad?
When he zooms out all our faces drop.
On the map showed dozens of red blobs
% There's so many...
Look they're all heading to one place...
I my voice nearly drops as the screen shows at least 40 worms heading to the RED's base.
With out waiting I slam the watch to try to reach Twilight.
Red Base.
( Twilight's P.o.v.)
Everyone was In the mess hall. Bored as heck.
Its been 6 hours since we came to the new dimension and haven't seen much.
I was just about to leave and join the other but was stopped at the sound of an incoming call.
Twilight you there?
Yes Ben what's your problem?
Twilight? anyone there.
Ben I'm right here.
Does any watch theses anymore?
Must of lost connection during the fight
Great...
Well if anyone can hear me get the others and get on the roof NOW! Giant Garbiods are heading to you. GET TO THE ROOF FAST!...
Connection lost...
Darn what could have happened? What's a Garbiod.
Knowing Ben that the tone in his voice means business.
I race to the mess hall. Where Big Mac was trying to push a cart with a strange object in it.
Guys we need to go to the roof NOW!
Everpony turns to me in confusion.
Why... Dash asks with a sarcastic tone.
Ben called. And it's very urgent.
Then what's the darn problem?
I don't know. He said something about something call a Garbiod...
On cue the ground starts to shake under our hooves.
ALRIGHT LETS GO!
We quickly race to a nearby stairs to get to the higher floors.
I stood at the bottom of the steps watching 4 giant creatures burst through the floor.
TWILIGHT GET OUT OF THERE!
I run up to the others as we made our way to the top floors.
I darn hope Ben is coming.
I though to myself under all the screaming and crashing.
But in a split second it all stops.
TWILIGHT! GUYS WHERE ARE YOU!?
WE'RE UP HERE BEN!
Ben quickly kicks the door down and rushes over to us.
I even give him a little hug for a second.
God I'm happy to see guys are okay.
Ben what happened down there?
After I sent the message we raced back to the respawn and teleport back. But Engi had to repair it.
When we got here everything was quiet...
Soo those thing's aren't here any more?
We checked and nothing but holes in the floors and walls.
We need to go back to Equestria... it would be great being back home...
Alrighty now...
We than began to come back down the stairs were the others were busy cleaning up.
* Giant bloody wankers...
Tiny baby magets...
_ Mmmhp mmmmph
(Translated: Sons of Bitches)
AHHHHHH!
We all jump as Medic came yelling from his lab.
Ben, Engi and Demo raced to him.
When opening the door it was a horror show.
( Ben's p.o.v.)
It was a mess. Like a level 5 anchored ambusher.
Medic was kneeling on the floor were all the jars of slime were.
But instead was a giant hole.
Grabiods must have heard something here.
As Medic analyzed the Jar he wondered to him self on how can they have found and clean every single jar.
& He Ben you may want to take a look at this.
We walk over to where Soldier was.
In amazement we saw the entire hallway destroyed.
We saw that they dug downwards.
HOLY SHET!
We turn back to see Heavy and the others standing in the door way of the devastated hallway.
Me not cleaning this up...
^ Wait isn't this the way to our intelroom?!
Where the portal is... Twilight said with a terrified voice.
Come on...
We slowly made our way to the intelroom.
It looked like something out of Meet the Pyro.
^ DAMN IT... Engineer yelled looking at his destroyed sentry.
Ben do you think?...
God I hope not...
Me and Big Mac will go through and check if its okay.
ABSALUTLY NOT! AJ yelled.
We need someone to go over and see if it's okay...
I'll go first. But...
I turn to see all nine of my friends waiting.
I know your base is a junk yard now but time isn't on our side.
I spawn in a large disk like device. with 4 blue tanks.
Here take this and place it anywhere outside on the building. It should repair it completely.
And take these Slime tanks to New York and give them to Ray and Egon, they'll know what to do.
^ Well it was great seeing you again Ben.
I knew that if was to stay I could just drive straight to Junction City but I was need even more in Equestria.
Oh and when you can, Tell Optimus Prime these numbers... 45.78.13 he'll know what to do.
$ It was a pleasure fighting with you again.
Da I will treat SkyBuster with great care...like Sasha!
After another moment of silence I could only smile as we walked back through the portal.
Iacon.E (Earth)
OPTIMUS I JUST GOT A SIGNAL FROM BEN'S WATCH!
Can you track the signal Ratchet?
Not sure at the moment but he was detected in the central Badlands...
