Chapter 15: Well, This is Awkward.

---

A couple of Days had passed since the battle in the tank. The princess had been visiting Ponyville more constantly, keeping in touch with the ponies and RED. Celestia and Luna would normally rotate visits, but sometimes they visited at the same time.

Engineer, Applejack, and Twilight were eating some vegetable sandwiches, and they saw Sniper a few yards away, walking by himself. He looked angered and was grumbling.

"Your friend Sniper sure has been mighty quiet ever since that fight on the tank." Applejack commented before taking another bite of her sandwich.

"I don't really blame the fella. He got to see our home world, and he knew that this "Slenderman" couldn't have gotten through, so he destroyed what could be our only way home." Engineer said.

"Well, can't you make another one with the blueprints?" Twilight asked.

"Nope," Engineer replied. "The plans, I saw them in that room the teleporter was in. No one grabbed it, and it was more than likely destroyed in the explosion." He sighed and took another bite out of his sandwich.

"Well, maybe someone should talk to him?" Twilight suggested. Engineer gave a nervous chuckle.

"Now, That'd be a mighty fine idea, but this is Sniper we're talkin' about. If he's pissed off about something, everyone on our team knows not to mess with him." Engineer said.

"So where was Spy today?" Applejack asked.

"You tell me. The old spook keeps disappearing and reappearing where ever he pleases." Engineer chuckled.

Sniper had his Huntsman slung over his shoulder, a new load of arrows in his quiver. He figured that if he decided to go hunting to let off some steam, he would.

He wasn't mad at anyone else, just at himself. He knew it was more than likely the right thing to destroy the portal, but still. He didn't think to grab the plans so they could make another one, he risked the lives of not only his team mates, but the lives of six ponies and two princesses, and, after figuring out that the calendar dates were the same as the ones in his world, he figured out today was his birthday.

Sniper hated his birthday.

It was one of the very few days that he hated, give or take a few. But his birthday was not one of his favorites.

His birthday was the day that he left for the outback, only at 14. His parents had gotten into a fight, and he heard the whole argument from his bedroom.

"Well I can't believe that you would do that!" his mothers voice ringed in his ear.

"If I didn't, they would have taken us out of house and home!" His father retorted.

"But You're leaving us, basically for the rest of your life! How can you trust this "Builders league united anyhow?!" His mother hollered.

"IT WAS EITHER THAT JOB OR US DYING!" his father screamed in anger.

"WE COULD HAVE FOUND ANOTHER WAY!" his mother screamed in return.

"NO, WE COULDN'T! WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING BLIND THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT?!" his father yelled.

The voices rang in Snipers head for about 5 minutes, until that last sentence he remembered ran through his head.

"FINE, IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE HERE, WE ARE THROUGH! AND I'M TAKING MY SON WITH ME!" his father yelled.

Sniper remembered hearing that from outside his house, just as he was sprinting away. Sniper kept walking until he came to a bridge that crossed a small river. He stopped and leaned on the railing, pulling out one of his arrows and observing it's sharpness.

"That time again?" the voice of spy asked, appearing behind Sniper. Normally, Sniper would immediately spin to his right, pulling out his kukri to stab a blue spy. But he knew this was his ally RED Spy, and he didn't care to turn either way.

"You've been keeping up with the calendar as well?" Sniper asked. Spy walked up beside him, leaning on the rail as well.

"Well, someone has to, do they not?" he asked. Sniper kept observing his arrow. Spy sighed.

"Comrade, I know how much you hate this day, but that was in the past. Don't you think you should try to take a new look on it?" Spy asked.

"Mate, all I see it as is the day my family broke apart.: Sniper replied. The two got up and looked at each other.

"Well, if you do need anything, I will be here for you." Spy said. He then gave Sniper a friendly hug, Sniper returning it for a second.

"Thanks Mate." Sniper replied. Spy started to walk off, but then looked back at Sniper.

"No worries mate!" He said, using his mock Australian accent. He then cloaked, and Sniper couldn't help but crack a little smile.

"So what you're saying is that RED were transported to another dimension, one filled with multicolored ponies, and they've been fighting some weird alien like thing?" BLU Scout asked. Merasmus nodded, crossing his arms. After what seemed like a few minutes, Scout shrugged.

"I've heard crazier." he replied.

"So how do we get them back?" BLU Sniper questioned.

"Well, As far as I know to my knowledge, you would have to travel to that world." Merasmus explained.

"And you can teleport us, right?" BLU Engineer asked.

"Actually, the powers of one-dimensional teleportation is not currently within my grasp, but I think I may know someone who can. Let me give her a call." Merasmus said. He opened his book of spells, and chanted one of the lines, and after a flash of lightning, a woman with tan skin appeared. Her hair is blue and styled like Jessie's(from Pokemon). . She had on a tan T-shirt with a blue jean jacket and tannish blue jeans..

"Meet Ginger boys." Merasmus said.

"This wasn't a good time, I was helping Toby and Rafael…" Ginger sternly said.

"Do not worry woman, I have frozen their time, when you return, it will resume as normal." Merasmus said. "Besides, when I help you that one time, you said to call when you could repay, here is your chance." He then said

"Who are these people?" Ginger asked when seeing BLU.

"These are the BLU mercenaries, the ones I told you about." Merasmus said. Ginger nodded.

"Oh, I see. So what do you need from me?" Ginger asked.

"We need someone with a kind of magical power to take us to a world our RED counterparts are in." Blue Engineer explained.

"Merasmus, are you sure about this?" Ginger asked him.

"You are the only one I know that can teleport through dimensions, and Blue are reckless, yet trustworthy." Merasmus said. Ginger sighed.

"Alright. Gather around." she said. Her eyes started to glow as BLU stood around her, and a light started to appear on her chest, and three triangles making a triangle, along with a lightning bolt running through it formed, the BLU said nothing, but were watching in awe. That was thing surrounded by the image of what BLU Engineer thought looked like an old clan logo for a cat.

The image then grew brighter, forcing BLU to cover their eyes. Their was then a flash, and Merasmus saw that they were gone.

"I only hope they hurry, time is of the essence.." Merasmus grimly said, looking out the window, sensing a dark force was near.

BLU Spy was the first of his men to wake up. He could see Ginger, who had now changed form, looking over the group. She was now an alicorn, and was orange with a mane and tail that look like they were on fire. On her neck she had patches of fire that reminded Spy of a Typhlosions fire from Pokemon. Her cutie mark was the same as the emblem that was formed in the light on her chest from before they teleported.

"Are you alright?" Ginger asked.

I think so, but I see you have changed appearances." BLU Spy said.

"Well, It appears I'm not the only one who has." Ginger said, casting a spell that made a mirror. BLU Spy saw that he had turned into a Pegasus, his coat bearing the colors of his suit. He was thankful that he still had his mask on, it forming to the shape of his now stallion head. He saw that his cutie mark was a picture of a butterfly knife surrounded by the mist that would surrounded Spy as he disguised himself.

"Well, this is getting awkward." BLU Spy said.

"I guess it is, my spell must have transformed us so we do not look like aliens from another world." Ginger explained. Spy couldn't think of anything better, so he agreed with her. He and Ginger looked at the others as they woke up.

Scout still had his regular hat on, but was now a Pegasus, his coat being blue, his mane black. His cutie mark was to bats over each other in a crossbones style with a cam of Bonk! In the middle of them.

Soldier had turned into an Earth pony. He still had his helmet, his coat blue, though he still had the blue coat he normally wore in their world. He also had the strap his grenades were on, but his flank and back legs were revealed. His cutie mark was a Rocket with the U.S. flag in the background.

Sniper had turned into a Pegasus and still had all of his clothing, except for his pants. His coat was a blue, his mane and tail Brown, the same color as his hair. His cutie mark was a Sniper scope's crosshairs aiming at a figures head.

Heavy was very noticeably larger than the others, his coat being, you guessed it, blue. He still had his vest, along with the line of bullets that went across his upper body. He was now an Earth Pony, his cutie mark being the hammer and sickle with Heavy's sandvich in the background.

Pyro still had the suit and mask on, so they couldn't tell anything about him. Or her. Or whatever the hell Pyro is. The only thing they could tell was that Pyro was a unicorn, and the cutie mark was a fire.

Medic's coat was blue, but he still had his white trench coat on. He still had his glasses as well, he mane and tail black. His cutie mark was a dove perching on top of his ubersaw. He was a unicorn as well.

Demoman still had had had his clothing, all except for his pants. He still had his eye patch, which he was thankful for. He was a Earth Pony, his cutie mark being a bottle of scrumpy with an explosion in the background.

Engineer now only had his helmet and goggles from his original clothing, his coat was blue, and his mane and tail was actually a blonde color. His cutie mark was a wrench with a Sentry firing in the background.

"aw, hell." BLU Engineer said as they saw themselves in the magical mirror. Ginger couldn't help but chuckle.

"We better get moving and find your friends." she said, leading the group. The BLUs tripped over themselves for a while, but after some time they were able to walk on all four hooves. Thus began their Search for RED, but they had no idea what exactly they were getting themselves into.
