The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 2: Meeting Each-other up
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Wait, so let me get this straight. You two work for Reliable Excavation and Demolition, and live in another universe, where you two, along with seven other members from RED fight against Builders League United?", Twilight asked.
"Yeah. Exactly like this.", Engineer answered.
Shortly after everypony becomming shocked upon the arrival of the two bipedal creatures, they decided to reunite at Twilight's Library. The ponies discovered that the masked person was the Pyro, and that the hard-hat wielding person was the Engineer. They never found any human before, and their only knowledge about humans came from Lyra and her obsession with humans. Of course, she was the pony who seeked most details about Pyro and Engineer.
"Ummm, yeah, we drive cars, we can use fingers, grab stuff, and...", Engineer said before he was interrupted again by a curious Lyra.
"And do you fly airplanes?", she asked.
"Some humans do, but, from our team, only the Soldier and the Heavy actually flied airplanes before.", Engineer said.
Suddently, Pinkie burst in the conversation.
"Oh! Oh! Do you like Parties?", she asked.
Engineer just sat there quiet, until an embarassed Rarity explained him about Pinkie.
"Uh, sorry about that, Pinkie is just a party addict.", she said.
"Nah, that's fine. Anyways, to answer the question about the pink hors-", Engineer continued before being interrupted by an angry Rainbow Dash.
"PONIES! I said we're ponies and not horses!", she said in an angry tone.
"Okay, okay, ponies! Hell, it's just 'cause y'all look so close to a similar species on our universe, who are called horses! Chill!", Engineer said.
"Rainbow! Be nice to our guests!", Lyra said slightly annoyed to Rainbow Dash, who cooled herself down.
"Sorry. I just don't feel safe with you two.", she said.
While most Ponies and the Engineer discussed, the Pyro decided to go downstairs to explore a bit. Engineer didn't even noticed. The only ones who noticed were Twilight, Pinkie, Lyra and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who decided to follow him. Pyro arrived downstairs, and he found a purple creature tidying up the library. Pyro tried to be discret, but he accidentally stepped on a creaking plank, alerting the purple creature.
"Whoa!", he said, before looking at Pyro.
"Oh, it's just you. Phew. You scared me!, he then said. He then proceeded to continue tidying up the libary.
Pyro heard footsteps comming downstairs, and found some of the other ponies. The purple one, the pink one, the greenish one, and three white, orange and yellow ones, who seemed to be childs had followed him.
"What you went to do here?", Twilight asked.
"Mmm mmmph.", Pyro said. The ponies looked at each other.
"Oh, he invented a new game, mumble-speak! I want to play that, too!", Pinkie said. "Mmmmm mmmmm mmmm!", she continued. Pinkie then started to roll on the floor. Pyro seemed to be bothered about her constantly mumbling.
"Mmmmrgh.", Pyro mumbled, while shaking his head.
"Pinkie, I think he wants you to stop.", said Twilight.
Lyra slowly approached Pyro.
"Why do you wear this mask?", she asked. Pyro answered by trying to take his mask off, which didn't budged. It meant it was stuck on his face.
Before the ponies could react, the CMC were toying around with a bag they grabbed. Lyra and Twilight looked at them. The three were wearing hats. Applebloom was wearing a hat similar to Applejack's hat, but white, and larger, Scootaloo was wearing a firefighter's helmet, and Sweetie Belle was wearing a red fedora. All of the hats had a tag strapped to it.
"Hey, look at my new hat!", said Applebloom.
"My hat is better than yours!", provoked Scootaloo.
"Your hats are all stolen, it haves a price tag on it! My hat is not stolen!", said Sweetie Belle.
"Your hat also haves a price tag!", yelled Applebloom.
Again, the CMC broke into a fight amongst themselves.
"Hey! Stop arguing!", yelled Twilight. The fillies kept fighting.
They only stopped fighting when Pyro approached them, and took their hats. He stored the cowboy hat and the fedora, but he wore the firefighter's helmet.
"Awww....", said the CMC.
"Are those hats stolen?", asked Twilight as she went to the backpack.
Lyra went to inspect the backpack. Inside it were not only hats, but weapons, too. Although the bag was small, it seemed to hold almost 300 items on it.
"Wow, this bag is relatively small, but it seems to be able to hold many items....", she thought. Lyra then looked at the tag. "It isn't a price tag. It just says 'Texas Ten Gallon - Level 35 hat.'.", she said.
She picked up another item, this time an orange glove; She strapped it to her hoof. However, the Pyro disapproved of what she did. He picked the glove from Lyra's hoof, and placed it on her head.
"Why did you put it in my head? Gloves are used on the hoof, not the head!", Lyra said. But Twilight answered.
"But I think this glove is meant to be used as a hat. The tag on it says 'Respectless Rubber Glove - Level 83 hat.'. It says hat, not glove.", said Twilight. It was true because Pyro nodded at her.
The CMC looked around deeper on the bag, and pulled out a big machine that seemed to be too large to fit in that backpack. "Hey, this one says 'Vintage Degreaser - Level 10 Flame Thrower'!", said Scootaloo. The Pyro seemed to react bad upon them finding the Vintage Degreaser. Sweetie Belle then jumped on the trigger.
"Nhoooooo!", Pyro yelled, just before the Degreaser started spewing flames on Applebloom. Sweetie Belle then got out of the trigger. Apple Bloom was completely black. Lyra and Twilight were shocked, Pinkie was still rolling on the floor.. Even the purple creature went there to see.
"What happened here? It isn't anything more for me to clean, is it?", he asked.
"Oh, it's nothing Spike. We can take care of this.", Twilight said. That purple creature was called Spike. Pyro started to realize those ponies were more sentient than how he thought they were. At first, he thought they were just baby unicorns living in a happy candyland. But now, he saw that they are actually intelligent. Pyro's thoughts were interrupted by Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle laughing at Apple Bloom.
"SHUT UP!!", Apple Bloom yelled. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle ignored her and kept laughing.
Meanwhile, Upstairs...
"...and thus began Team Fortress 2's 15th anniversary festival.", said Engineer, explaining about the latest party on TF2.
"Wow, 15 years. Wait, didn't you said that Team Fortress 2 was launched at 2007?", asked a confused Berry Punch.
"It's 'cause those were 15 years since Team Fortress. It started at Team Fortress, went to Team Fortress Classic, then Team Fortress 2.", explained the Engineer.
"Is there a Team Fortress 3?", asked Colgate.
"Not yet. Team Fortress 2 didn't finished development, so TF3 is very unlikely right now.", he said.
"Oh, and I heard that TF2 contains hats, and the such. Could you show me some?", asked Rarity.
"Sure. Just let me get my.....wait, where's my backpack?", said Engineer, realizing that his backpack was not with him.
"I saw the fillies taking it and bringing it downstairs.", said Derpy.
"Mind explaining me what are fillies?", asked Engineer.
"Young ponies.", said Rainbow, still annoyed.
"Darn. Those backpacks contains dangerous weapons. Do y'all think they will use Pyro's Vintage Degreaser?", asked the Engineer.
"What is a Vintage Degreaser...?", quietly asked Fluttershy.
"Well, basically a variation of Pyro's flame thrower.", answered Engineer.
The ponies suddently stopped for a moment. Then, they all rushed downstairs, almost knocking down the Engineer.
*Insert 'Intruder Alert' music here*
Downstairs....
Twilight was about to clean Apple Bloom, but stopped upon hearing loud footsteps comming up. They all stopped upon seeing that Apple Bloom was alterady burned.
"Oh no.....", said Rainbow Dash in a shock state.
Pyro shrugged. Even Pinkie stopped rolling on the floor.
Everypony on the staircase opened space for a dazed Engineer to come through. "Wha.....what happened here?", he asked.
"I'll tell you what happened. Your buddy here's weapon almost cremated Apple Bloom alive! I know you two came from a war world, but seriously, can't ya even have some RESPECT?!?!", yelled a steaming Rainbow.
"Ok, ok, calm down, Rainbow. It's alright.", said Rarity. Engineer went to Pyro.
"Pyro, why did you burned that pony? She is not from BLU, everyon-", Engineer said before getting interrupted again by Rainbow.
"EveryPONY, not everyone! You're not on Badlands anymore!", yelled Rainbow again. Engineer stepped back.
"Nhot whas mhe.", Pyro mumbled while pointing at Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. The latter two gulped.
"I'm here to testify! I saw the two paint Apple Bloom black! It was cool! Hahahahaha!", said Pinkie, who started to roll on the floor again.
The ponies went towards Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.
Later, outside Twilight's library...
"Ok, I'm sorry for acting angry at you. I just don't feel safe.", apologied Rainbow to Engineer.
"Nah, that's fine.", Engineer said.
"Hey, we can show you and the Masked person around here before you go!", offered Fluttershy.
Pyro nodded at the yellow pony. He wanted to see every single bit of that place.
"Yeah. I guess we can stay here for a little more, but just an exploration. We need to go back to Dustbowl to protect our base. If BLU gets our Dustbowl rocket, we will-", said Engineer, before being interrupted.
"No, forget about the war. You need to chill. Everything will go fine.", said Twilight.
"Hey, may I go in too?", asked Lyra as she went in.
"Of course!", answered Fluttershy.
At that same time, somewhere slightly far from Engy and Pyro...
Trixie was watching the whole scene unfold from far away with her talking binocule.
"Oh no. I won't let those intruders to be the new attention of this place.", said Trixie.
"Really? What have those guys done to you? They just accidentally came, and you start hating them?", the binocule stated.
"Yeah, but they will be the the center of the attentions on Ponyville, and maybe even Equestria! Everypony knows that I should deserve that!", she countered.
"Wow, when will she ever learn...", thought the binocule.
