The Time Traveller: A TF2 Fanfic

Escape From the Hub

Echo was still in the electricity chamber. She was crying on the floor when she saw a guard come in. "What? Your master sent you to finally kill me?" The guard took a brief look around and turned to look back at Echo. "Echo. It's me. Spy." He lifted up his visor to reveal his face. "Okay. I'm going to leave and cloak myself. I'll come back." Spy went to an unseen room, and she could feel something brush up against her shoulder a few minutes later. "Spy, is that you?" "It's me. Take this." She could feel something cold being pushed into her palm. "It's the Dead Ringer. When they come back to give you another shock and when they're done, use this to drop a fake corpse and cloak yourself. You will be able to escape." "Thank you Spy. Um, where's your face?" She felt his hand guide her to his face and she felt the fabric of his mask. She slid her hand down and went under his mask. She felt his skin for a brief moment before pulling him towards her. She placed a small kiss on his lips. She pulled back before saying, "That was a thank you, so don't get any ideas." She could hear him walking out of the chamber. As if right on cue, a guard came in and pulled the lever up. She felt the electricity painfully jolting through her body again while trying to keep a grip on the Dead Ringer. After it was over, she used the Dead Ringer and a fake corpse was dropped right in front of her. The guard went into the chamber and tried to look for a pulse. "This is T0135. The convict is dead." "Report to the main chamber immediately." "Roger that." The guard left with Echo following close behind. She ran to the cells where the mercs were being held and freed them. She uncloaked and the mercs looked at her. When Medic saw her, he ran and hugged her while picking her up off the ground. She was still being held in the air when she leaned down and kissed him. He let her down, their lips still connected. They broke apart and all the mercs ran towards freedom.

Meanwhile in the main chamber...

"Empress Diana!" Diana turned around and gave the guard permission to speak. "The corpse in the chamber. It was a fake. The convict and the suspects are free." Diana's eyes widened and she growled. "Guards! Search every inch of the building! Find them! I want that rebel dead!

5 minutes later...

Echo and the mercs made it to the space port. "Guys! My ship is over there. The Comet Streak." They made their way to a black and purple starship and Echo opened the bay doors. All the mercs went inside and Echo went into the cockpit and started the engine. The ship took off and the mercs held on tightly. "Uh, Echo? We got company.", Scout said. Echo looked and saw five Star Streaker ships heading towards them. "Heavy! I need someone on the guns. It's just like Sasha, but with lasers. Think you can manage that?" "Heavy will manage guns!" He made his way to the laser gun and sat in the chair. "I see you!" He went frickin' crazy and shot down all five Star Streaker ships. "I am hero!", he said and gave out a hearty laugh. "Good job, Heavy. Everyone hold on to your hats. (Get it?)" They time jumped and made their way back to the base.
