The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria

"Engineer....", a voice called out.

"Ugh....", Engineer groaned.

"Engineer....", the voice repeated.

"Five more minutes....", he answered.

"Engineer!", the voice shouted.

"Alright, alright, I'm up!", he said as he opened his eyes, only to cover them as he was met with blinding light.

"Argh! His eyes are still unprepared for ze blinding light.", the voice continued, but this time with a German accent that sounded familiar.

"Hang on...I reckon I know this voice. Medic?", he asked.

"Ja, I'm Medic.", the voice answered.

"Where am I? What happened? Where's Pyro?", Engineer asked again.

"Well, since ze enemy Demoman blew your Sentry to bits, you had blacked out. Pyro unfortunaly wasn't able to prevent ze BLU team from capturing our point, although he managed to bring you back to our respawn. Pyro's over zhere.", Medic explained, while pointing at Pyro sitting on a bench on the other side of the Resupply room. Pyro waved towards Engineer as a response.

"So, that world I've been livin' in was fake?", he coninued.

"That one with talking coloring horses? Yes, I suppose.", Medic replied.

"Damnit. Hang on, pardner. How did ya knew that I was dreamin' that?", Engineer said, while eyeing Medic suspiciously. However, before Medic could answer, he noticed his right hand wasn't gloved. "What the... hey, shouldn't my right hand be gloved?", he continued.

"What do you mean, Engineer? We all knew that you only gloved your left hand, not your right one.", Medic replied. "Speaking about your left hand, it seems that it had been severely injuried on ze explosion of your Sentry. We had to replace it with one of your prototypes, ze Gunslinger.", he coontinued. Engineer looked at his left hand, and true to Medic's word, it was replaced by a robotic hand. Although, there was something funny in it that Engineer couldn't see.

"Alright. But what do ya mean by 'we'? I thought ya were the only medic on our team.", Engineer continued, proceeding to stare deep into Medic again.

"Scout's sister, of course! She's my new assistant!", Medic replied. Engineer was about to question, before he saw a Scout look-a-like talking with Pyro. Oddly enough, Engineer noticed that Pyro seemed to have a crush on her, despite some days earlier he quietly mumbling to him that she was all speed and no power, almost like the Scout from their team.

"Aalright, I suppose me and Pyro should head back to the battle, then?", Engineer continued, not taking his eyes away from Pyro and the female Scout.

"Yes. We are managing to hold ze last point, but I don't think we can hold it much longer. Now go!", Medic replied.

Pyro waved off to the female Scout, and walked out along with Engineer. The latter was very suspicious of what was happening. First, how could Medic know what dream he was having? Second, he had been on the war for 52 days, and he was 100% sure that all of the times he swung his wrench, he saw his glove at his right hand, not left. Third, Medic noted that he didn't wanted to have any assistants and that he could have the entire team overhealed all by himself. And oddly enough, Pyro didn't even seemed to care. Engineer just sat on a nearby hay pile, pulled his toolbox, and proceeded to plant his Mini-Sentry. And something even oddlier happened: Instead of a Mini-Sentry proceeding to build, like how the Gunslinger was progammed to do, the normal Sentry Gun popped out.

"What the hell?!", Engineer thought out loud. Something was definitely wrong there. But he decided to think that the Minisentry would only appear if it was on his right hand. He shrugged it off, and pulled a Sandvich and a large bottle of scrumpy out of his toolbox.

"That's what ya get!", he mockingly said to a dead BLU Pyro that his Sentry killed. He proceeded to chug the scrumpy, only to realize that it was tasteless.

"Okay, something is really wrong.", he mumbled. He tried to bite on his sandvich, only to realize that it also was tasteless. He mentally cursed as he placed both the sandvich and the scrumpy back on the toolbox. He turned to his Sentry, only to find it facing him. "Huh? Why are ya facin' me?", he asked to his mechanical device. He didn't expected an answer, however, the Sentry turned to a billboard he had never seen before on a nearby cliff. The billboard said 'WAKE UP'. A chill went down Engineer's spine. He shook his head, and found out that the battlefield was completely empty, not to mention the sky was greenish and was emitting a green hue to the world below. "What the...", Engineer mumbled.

"None of this is real.", a robotic voice sounded. Engineer looked around, but noone was found. "This is a dream.", the voice repeated. Engineer found out that it was comming from his Sentry Gun. "Please wake up. You don't have much time.", it continued.

"Hang on, so my time in Equestria was actually true?", Engineer asked.

"Yes. That bullet put you into a coma. You have to wake up.", the Sentry answered.

"How?", Engineer asked again.

"You have to defeat him.", the Sentry replied.

"Defeat him? Defeat who?", he continued.

"I don't have much time. You need to defeat the monster who lives in your mind.", continued the Firing Device. However, before Engineer could ask once again, the Sentry stopped looking towards him, and proceeded to shut down. 3 seconds later, it exploded in a small explosion.

"Damnit!", Engineer cursed as he covered himself from the explosion. "Alright. I have to stop this.", he continued as he got up, and started walking to the Control Point #3.
